Tang Hai looked at Chen Jie in shock.
Tang Ruotong and Tang Wenwu also looked at Chen Jie with surprise.
Because Chen Jie was right, Tang Hai's grandfather had just passed away not long ago.
Now that Chen Jie said it was all done by Guan Erye, Tang Hai was startled and asked, "What do you mean?"
Chen Jie said faintly, "This so-called Guan Erye does have the function of helping the owner deal with enemies. But it is too evil, and it might backfire if not handled properly. The most important point is that it will kill the relatives around the holder!"
"You're talking nonsense! In the end, you just don't want to compensate me for my Guan Erye!"
Tang Wenwu said excitedly to Tang Hai, "Dad, don't believe him. My grandfather's death is not a secret. Zhang De must have told him, that's why he said that!"
Tang Hai was also suspicious.
It was true that Tang Wenwu's grandfather had died, but what did it have to do with Guan Erye?
"Ignorance! Humph!" Chen Jie's expression turned cold. He then raised his hand and pointed at Tang Hai's forehead.
"How dare you disrespect my father!"
"Stop it quickly, don't go near my dad!"
Tang Ruotong and Tang Wenwu shouted.
Even Old Mo squinted his eyes and subtly moved closer to Tang Hai, preventing Chen Jie from doing anything excessive.
"Everyone, stop! Chen Jie is helping me!" Tang Hai shouted to stop everyone.
When Chen Jie's hand touched his forehead, he felt his mind become very cool, and the vague sense of mania in his heart subsided significantly.
"Look at his forehead!" Chen Jie said calmly.
Everyone quickly looked at Tang Hai's forehead and saw a faint blood line suddenly appear there.
Chen Jie said, "I just forced a bit of the malevolent energy within him out. This is the formation of malevolent energy, and this trace of malevolent energy shares the same origin as the malevolent energy contained within Guan Erye!"
He glanced at Tang Wenwu again and said, "The Guan Erye you worship is merely an evil entity that wants to take your family's lives. What, do you still want to recognize a thief as your father?"
Chen Jie's move stunned everyone.
It greatly changed their previous suspicion of Chen Jie.
As for Tang Wenwu, his face turned red with embarrassment.
He was beginning to believe Chen Jie's words.
However, when he thought about how he had sincerely worshipped someone who had caused his grandfather's death and intended to harm his own father, and yet he had acted as if he was his own second uncle, he found it hard to accept.
As for Tang Hai, he was overjoyed.
He knew he had found the right person. Chen Jie could see the strangeness within him, proving he was a capable individual.
Before, he had doubted whether Chen Jie, being so young, was truly Zhang De's master. Now, he had no doubt.
Thinking that Chen Jie could see his physical abnormality, he quickly asked Chen Jie, "Young friend Chen, how is my condition now?"
Chen Jie said faintly, "If nothing unexpected happens, the malevolent energy in your forehead will erupt completely tomorrow. At that time, it will be your last episode of illness, and your death."
Tang Hai showed fear and seemed to recall something, saying with sudden realization, "I remember. My father, before he died, also seemed to have symptoms of madness. However, his constitution was very weak, so it wasn't very pronounced. We didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was his last burst of energy before death..."
"Now that I think about it, he had the same illness as me!"
Chen Jie said, "If that's the case, after you die, your daughter will be next. After your daughter dies, it will be other relatives in your family, and Tang Wenwu will be the last to die."
"Why is that?" Tang Hai asked in shock.
"Because Tang Wenwu is the holder of Guan Erye, and the cause of your ailments stems from that Guan Erye. After killing all the holder's relatives, that malevolent energy will return to the holder."
Tang Hai and the others gasped.
If what Chen Jie said was true, then their entire family would be wiped out in the near future.
Under the threat of death, he could no longer care about anything else and quickly said to Chen Jie, "Young friend Chen, please help me cure my illness!"
"Why should I cure you?" Chen Jie asked back.
Tang Hai's face stiffened.
Tang Wenwu blurted out, "Kid, as long as you cure my dad, I won't bother you about you destroying my Guan Erye anymore. And we can even let you get to know us in the future! For a poor person like you, befriending a rich person is something you've always dreamed of, isn't it?"
Chen Jie sneered, "Don't talk about me destroying your Guan Erye. Even if I killed you, what of it? And do you think I'm willing to associate with a brain-dead person who worships the murderer of his own family?"
"You bastard, what did you say?" Tang Wenwu became enraged.
Ever since he learned that Guan Erye had malicious intentions towards his family, he had resolved in his heart that anyone who mentioned this matter again would face his wrath!
With a slap, Tang Hai hit him across the face.
And shouted, "Shut up!"
"Dad!" Tang Wenwu said aggrievedly. His father had never hit him before, but today he had hit him twice.
"If you dare to speak again, I'll cut off your allowance and disown you!" Tang Hai said angrily.
Only then did Tang Wenwu grudgingly fall silent.
Then Tang Hai cupped his fists towards Chen Jie and said, "Young friend Chen, children can be ignorant. Please don't take it to heart!"
"Young friend Chen, if you cure me, I naturally won't make empty promises. If you are willing to help me, I will give you this sports car, how about it?" Tang Hai pointed at Tang Wenwu's BMW sports car.
"What? No! This is my sports car!" Tang Wenwu exclaimed.
Chen Jie didn't speak, but looked at Tang Hai.
Tang Hai's face was beaded with cold sweat. He suddenly took out a check from his pocket and wrote a string of numbers.
Tang Hai handed the check to Chen Jie and said, "This is a deposit of two million. If young friend Chen can completely cure me, I will pay an additional two million!"
Chen Jie took it, glanced at it, and then nodded, "Give me paper!"
"Paper?" Tang Hai tore a page from his notebook and handed it to Chen Jie.
Then, Chen Jie made a gesture in the air on the paper.
As a few strokes were imprinted on the paper, Chen Jie directly pressed it onto Tang Hai's forehead.
With a "boom," the paper ignited the moment it touched Tang Hai's forehead, burning to ashes in just one second.
"I have already used runes to protect your body from the influence of malevolent energy. However, if I were to eliminate the malevolent energy now, your body would be severely depleted, and you would die immediately. I will refine some medicine tonight and go to treat you."
Chen Jie said calmly.
After receiving two million, he had to do something to make it look convincing. Otherwise, if he cured him too easily, he might feel that the several million spent was not worth it.
"Master! You are a master!" Tang Hai exclaimed in shock.
He then turned around and said to Tang Wenwu, "Hand over the car keys!"
"Dad!" Tang Wenwu reluctantly took out the keys.
"Give them here!"
Tang Hai snatched them and respectfully handed them to Chen Jie, "Master Chen, please accept this car. Tonight, our Tang family will await your arrival!"
