Sinisterium Pawnshop: Exclusive to Malevolent Objects

Chapter 30: Chapter 30: The Woman's Cold Smile



  Is there any special significance to a baby snake's molt being hidden inside an adult snake's molt?

  After going through the entire family record, Lu Fei still couldn't find what it meant for two snake molts to be together.

  Although the snake skin had already reached his hands, and this deal was completed, he always felt uneasy without fully understanding its characteristics.

  If it were to leave hidden dangers for the Su family, it would not only harm them but also tarnish the reputation of Sinisterium Pawnshop!

  Lu Fei got up to make a cup of tea to clear his mind.

  Then he sat under the osmanthus tree and reviewed the events at the Su family's place and the process of acquiring the evil object from beginning to end.

  Southeast Asia is located in the tropics with many jungles, so there are plenty of snakes.

  Therefore, it is not surprising that the true form of the deity statue is a snake-like evil spirit.

  One deal, one life. By absorbing the qi of the five internal organs, it intends to transform into a human.

  It calls itself the Wealth Embracing Buddha Mother.

  This name seems not just chosen to deceive; it does indeed hold something in its arms, but instead of treasure, it holds snake eggs.

  So-called Buddha Mother is actually a Snake Mother...

  Wait!

  Lu Fei's heart skipped a beat.

  Since it is a mother, she must have offspring.

  And within this large snake molt, there is indeed a small snake molt hidden.

  Could it be, the key point is actually the small snake?

  The Snake Mother was using the Su family to breed her offspring.

  Thinking of this, Lu Fei was suddenly filled with alarm.

  Wouldn't it be possible that the Su family still has a small snake in hiding?

  Although the black cat and rooster had brought down the stone statue of the Snake Mother, no one knew for sure whether what was eliminated at that time was just one snake spirit, or two.

  Lu Fei dared not entertain any thoughts of being lucky.

  He immediately tried to call the Su family, only to realize he didn't have their number, so he quickly called Liu Fugui instead.

  Liu Fugui was lounging lazily in his bath.

  His plump, white flesh was submerged in the warm water, steam swirling around him, with a look of pure enjoyment on his face.

  Riding the coattails of the influential Su family, he decided to reward himself with a full-body massage.

  He left his phone aside, not bothering to check it, while a technician prepared essential oils nearby.

  "Damn it, what is that fatso Liu doing?"

  Lu Fei fretted, pacing back and forth, stomping his feet in frustration.

  He paced around the yard, trying to reassure himself by overthinking the situation.

  After all, if the two snake skins were together, they should both have met their end at the same time.

  Moreover, all the patients in the Su family had improved simultaneously.

  But what if?

  What if the snake mother sacrifices herself to protect the little snake?

  A human life cannot afford to take that risk.

  Sinisterium Pawnshop, once it accepts an evil object, cannot let the customer die at the hands of that evil object!

  Gritting his teeth, he grabbed the snake shed, hastily locked the door, ran out of the antique street, hailed a taxi, and rushed to Dragon Soar Creek Valley in a hurry.

  The sky darkened, and night fell.

  Jiang City is a city that never sleeps, remaining lively even into the night.

  The neon lights of the buildings and the lights of the traffic interweave, illuminating half the sky with a faint glow.

  But there was one place that was an exception.

  Despite being located in the heart of Jiang City, Dragon Soar Creek Valley is a tranquil oasis in the midst of hustle and bustle. The dense and rare green belt acts as a clear demarcation line, isolating the noise of the city.

  Inside the villa complex, it was tranquil and serene.

  Su Liguo sat in the study on the third floor, lit a cigarette, and gazed through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows at the distant, faintly visible city lights.

  He felt a sense of relaxation he had never experienced before.

  All of his critically ill family members had miraculously improved. He had visited the hospital in the afternoon, and the doctor said that with a little more treatment, they would be able to recover and be discharged.

  It was incredible.

  It seemed as if the critical condition notices they had received earlier were just misdiagnoses.

  The hospital did not understand what had happened either. The hospital's director, along with a group of renowned doctors, personally explained the situation to Su Liguo, fearing retribution from the Su family.

  Of course, Su Liguo did not blame them. Instead, he kindly asked them to take good care of the patients.

  The Su family had managed to weather this crisis. The next step was to settle accounts.

  He exhaled a puff of smoke.

  Su Liguo took a sip of wine, his expression gradually turning cold, like a lion searching for its prey, his eyes exuding a murderous intent.

  After suffering such a great loss, Su Liguo would absolutely not let it go!

  This move was clearly intended to destroy the entire Su family.

  No matter who the enemy was, he would go to any lengths to pay them back double or even tenfold!

  Su Liguo forcefully crushed out his cigarette and made a phone call to give instructions.

  Then, he prepared to rest.

  Days of hard work and tension had left him utterly exhausted. The Su family and the company still needed him to take charge, and he must quickly adjust himself to the best state possible.

  As he passed by the stairwell, he inadvertently heard some noise coming from downstairs.

  "Hehe..."

  It seemed to be a woman's laughter, faint and unclear.

  "Who?"

  Su Liguo felt a bit strange.

  He didn't like having too many outsiders in his home, and by night, aside from the butler, Old Zhang, only two nannies stayed in the house.

  But the nannies and Old Zhang all lived in the workers' quarters at the back of the first floor, and all his family members were in the hospital. So where did this woman come from?

  Downstairs, only the wall lights were on.

  The large villa appeared dim and deep.

  Su Liguo called out, but there was no response. He descended a few steps down the stairs, feeling suspicious.

  "Hehe."

  The woman's mocking laughter floated indistinctly in the darkness, making even Su Liguo feel uneasy.

  He realized the laughter was coming from the second floor.

  He followed the sound.

  It was Su Mingxuan's room.

  "Haha..."

  The laughter came from the pitch-black room.

  His son was not at home, so why was there a woman's voice in his room?

  A bad feeling rose in Su Liguo's heart. He grasped the doorknob and was about to push the door open to check.

  "Dad!"

  A shout came from the end of the corridor.

  Su Liguo turned his head and saw Su Mingxuan running up the stairs in a hurry.

  "Why are you back? Weren't you supposed to be at the hospital taking care of your sister?" Su Liguo said with a stern face.

  "My sister said I was too noisy, and she chased me back here," Su Mingxuan said with a hurt expression, "I thought you had already gone to bed, so I didn't call. Dad, what are you doing at my door?"

  "What are you so nervous about, do you have someone hiding in your room?" Su Liguo snorted coldly.

  Su Mingxuan looked confused, "Huh?"

  "Stop pretending, I already heard it!" Su Liguo's gaze was stern, "You are still young, and I can understand if you play around outside. But I warn you, do not bring any of those unsavory characters into our home!"

  "Dad, you misunderstood! It might be the sound from the computer; I forgot to turn it off when I left earlier," Su Mingxuan hurriedly opened the door and turned on the light.

  "Take a look."

  Su Liguo glanced into the room.

  The laptop on the desk was emitting a faint light, and there was no one else in the room.

  "You always act so rashly, how can I entrust the heavy responsibilities of the Su family to you in the future?"

  Su Liguo scolded, then walked away with his hands behind his back.

  The tall and imposing figure of his father disappeared around the corner of the stairs, and Su Mingxuan's face instantly turned gloomy.

  From a young age, his father had always been particularly critical of him, and no matter what he did, he could never please him.

  In the eyes of others, he was the eldest son of the prestigious and wealthy Su family.

  But at home, he was just a son who didn't receive his father's favor.

  He closed the door and locked it from the inside.

  Under the dim light, a pair of slender, pale hands reached out from behind and embraced Su Mingxuan.

  Gently caressing.

  Su Mingxuan closed his eyes, lost in the moment.

  "Alright, for revenge..."
