243: Give you a talisman

As soon as he spoke, the other people in the room all turned their gaze to Chen Tianming.

Chen Tianming would never easily take out useless things.

Since he gave it to them, this item would definitely be of great use.

Such a precious item, who would he leave the last one for?

Hearing this, Chen Tianming gave an awkward smile.

The system rewarded him with 5 at once.

It was only because the four of them had been threatened these past few times that Chen Tianming unhesitatingly gave them the items.

He hadn't really thought about whose hands the last one should fall into.

Just as Chen Tianming was hesitating, the sound of a car suddenly came from downstairs.

Qu Wan'er's ears were excellent.

Just hearing the car engine made her eyes light up.

"It must be Aunt Gao!"

Chen Tianming had just lifted the curfew for them.

Now, Qu Wan'er couldn't wait to run downstairs.

In the yard, Gao Zhiman had just parked her car when she saw a young girl running and skipping towards her.

Gao Zhiman smiled and naturally embraced Qu Wan'er.

"You look much better than before, how about it, have you rested well?"

Qu Wan'er smiled and nodded.

"These are for you and your brother, go inside and play."

Gao Zhiman said, handing two toys to Qu Wan'er.

Little girls are easy to please.

As soon as she saw the toys, she became incredibly happy and quickly ran back into the house with them.

At this moment, Chen Tianming came down from upstairs.

"Where did you go this morning?"

Gao Zhiman had been on leave at home these past few days, so driving out now must mean something important.

"I'm so sorry, husband, the police station wanted me to go back, saying there was a very important matter that required my assistance. I just finished up there and came back."

The police station wanted Gao Zhiman?

Chen Tianming was a little wary.

"Did something happen?"

"Hmm, a merchant on Guwan Street somehow caught fire this morning."

When it came to serious matters, Gao Zhiman's expression became much more solemn.

It seemed what Gao Zhiman was talking about was Du Shaokang's place.

Presumably, after the fire was extinguished, someone discovered Du Shaokang and then called the police.

"What were the results of the inspection?"

"It's been closed as an accident. The person was found under a shelf, apparently hit by it while trying to escape and was crushed to death. His death was unrelated to the fire."

At this point, Gao Zhiman couldn't help but frown.

"According to our investigation, this person usually dealt in antiques, but secretly he was engaged in fortune-telling. It's said there were many people in his live stream room, and we even found many hidden weapons in his shop, though we don't know what they were used for."

Speaking of this, Gao Zhiman felt a chill down her spine.

If these things were used on people, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Anyway, he wasn't a good person, so it's no loss that he died. It's just a pity for the surrounding merchants who were affected by the fire."

At this, Gao Zhiman let out a long sigh.

"This person was the one who previously altered the feng shui of this place."

Since things had come to this, Chen Tianming didn't want to hide it from her.

He simply told her everything Du Shaokang had done previously.

Of course, Chen Tianming didn't mention that the man had ultimately died by his own hand.

Gao Zhiman was furious when she heard it.

"I knew it! Why would a normal person's home have so many sharp weapons? He was indeed a villain, and he deserved to die!"

Gao Zhiman had always been someone who hated evil.

Her reaction was normal.

"Oh, right, this is for you."

Chen Tianming had been wondering who to give the last amulet to.

Now that he saw Gao Zhiman, he had an answer in his heart.

Taking the amulet in her hand, Gao Zhiman burst out laughing.

"Husband, you're too cute. How can you still believe in these things?"

Many people at the police station wore amulets and similar items, but most of them were useless.

Their own captain had specifically gone to a temple to get one and wore it, but the very next week he broke his leg while apprehending a fugitive.

Gao Zhiman naturally regarded these things as products of feudal superstition.

But Chen Tianming was exceptionally serious.

"This amulet is different; it can save your life at a critical moment. This item is extremely useful, you must carry it with you."

Modu had been very restless lately.

All sorts of things were constantly emerging.

He didn't know how long he could stay here.

After dealing with the current matters, Chen Tianming would definitely go to Southern Xinjiang to resolve the troubles there.

If something happened to Gao Zhiman, he would regret it too late.

"That amazing?"

Seeing Chen Tianming's serious expression, Gao Zhiman immediately felt a sense of respect for the item and carefully kept the amulet on her person.

"Since it's from you, I'll definitely carry it with me."

A beautiful smile appeared on her delicate face.

Chen Tianming simply hummed in acknowledgment and said nothing else.

Suddenly, a man's image flashed through his mind.

"By the way, how is Han Lei doing lately?"

"Han Lei? Are you talking about the one who works for the Mi family?"

Seeing Chen Tianming nod, Gao Zhiman told the truth.

"I haven't heard any news from that side recently, but I vaguely heard that the Mi family discovered a new mineral source. They've made a lot of money selling stones recently, and even this Han Lei has profited greatly."

Chen Tianming had asked Gao Zhiman to investigate Han Lei before, so she still had some impression of him.

He was in such a hurry to make money, probably because he had drained all of his funds last time; the guy was finally getting anxious.

Chen Tianming couldn't help but sneer.

This was just the beginning; before, it only made him feel a pinch.

Since he was back, he shouldn't waste it; he might as well get rid of this Han Lei too.

Next time, he would make him hurt all over.

"There's nothing more I need to arrange for you here at the manor. If you have time, please help me pay more attention to the Mi family and Han Lei's situation."

"Especially keep an eye on Han Lei's every move and see who he's been associating with lately."

These two had acted in concert before, but now that Du Shaokang was dead, Han Lei would have to fight alone.

Perhaps Du Shaokang's death would even deter Han Lei.

Unexpectedly, Gao Zhiman, who was beside him, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

"Are you just treating me as a tool now?"

As she spoke, she moved closer to Chen Tianming.

"You only compensated me a little last night, and now you're giving me new tasks so quickly. So, shouldn't I ask for more compensation?"

The woman's slender fingers gently traced Chen Tianming's chest twice.

It made his heart itch.

Chen Tianming took the opportunity to grab her hand.

"As long as you do a good job, you'll definitely be well rewarded."
