Charles used the Supernatural Needle Art he learned from Master Hall on Elder Thompson.
The so-called Supernatural Needle Art is said to be able to cure any illness.
There were a total of thirteen silver needles, each of which traveled along the meridian and pricked precisely at the right spot.
Initially, when Charles heard about this, he thought it was exaggerated.
It was already the 21st century, and he didn't believe in such superstitious beliefs about demons and ghosts.
If this were to spread, it would definitely be laughed at.
However, witnessing Elder Hall's use of the Ghost Gate Needle opened his eyes and made him realize his own ignorance.
Just moments ago, the three needles Charles used followed Elder Thompson's meridians.
When these meridians are attacked by black energy and left uncleared for a long time, the body becomes weak, and eventually, the person may not even know how he died.
Elder Thompson couldn't quite understand, so he asked Charles, "Charles, can you explain in detail what's wrong with that piece of land?"
Now that he thought about it, accidents did happen frequently since he acquired that land.
On the day of the terrain survey, an employee fell and became partially paralyzed.
Three days before the construction was scheduled to begin, they discovered someone had died suddenly on the construction site in the middle of the night.
Initially, the Thompson family paid some compensation to the victims' families to avoid delays in construction.
They swept the incidents under the rug.
The Thompson family even spent money to suppress the news. After all, these were all unsavory matters.
Therefore, Elder Thompson hesitated for a long time before finally revealing the truth.
"..."
Charles was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he finally spoke up, "So, you think this kind of thing is honorable? After such incidents happened, you were still concerned about starting construction; that's ignorant."
"Are you suggesting that the land has something impure?"
The older generation quite believed in these things.
Elder Thompson immediately guessed the problem and hurriedly asked, "Then, how do you think?"
"Tell me the location of the land, and I'll go to check it out for your Thompson family when I'm free."
"Don't wait for free time, let's do it now!"
Elder Thompson was always impatient.
Combined with the fact that the construction on that land hadn't started even now, the Thompson family might not be able to bear it if it continued.
"Now? But your health..."
"Isn't there still Evelyn? I'll make Evelyn accompany you instead of me, isn't that okay?"
For some reason, Charles felt like this old man was intentionally or unintentionally trying to bring him closer to his granddaughter.
Before he could reply, Elder Thompson actually got out of bed and opened the door himself.
This action startled the people waiting anxiously outside the door!
"Wow... Truly the young divine doctor that even Dr. Green can't stop praising!"
Dr. Richardson became shameless, and he started buttering up Charles.
Even Leo, who was ready to witness a spectacle, nearly popped his eyeballs out.
He pushed up his glasses, thinking that he was hallucinating.
The useless person who used to even fabricate academic papers actually possessed such exceptional medical skills?
"Grandpa!"
Evelyn suddenly threw herself into her grandfather's arms.
She was truly afraid that she might never see her lively grandfather again.
Although Elder Thompson's complexion was still somewhat pale, any discerning person could see that his condition was not serious.
Hank and the other family members were also stunned, realizing that Evelyn might have encountered an extraordinary figure!
Their previous arrogance and disdain vanished, replaced by ingratiating smiles.
Elder Thompson gently patted his granddaughter's back and whispered, "Don't worry, I'm not going to die."
"But it's all thanks to Charles this time that I was able to survive."
Evelyn turned to look at Charles, her tears turning into a smile.
She was about to express her gratitude when her grandfather suddenly spoke again, "Evelyn, I need you to do something for me."
"Grandpa, please say it!"
"I want you to go to the construction site with Charles."
"Ah? The construction site?"
Evelyn was surprised, wondering why her grandfather suddenly mentioned the construction site.
But Hank, David, and Reid's faces turned pale!
...
After leaving the Thompson family mansion,
Evelyn couldn't help but blink her beautiful eyes and ask, "Charles, how many secrets are you still keeping from me?"
"Secrets? Not many left."
Charles' answer was perfunctory, but Evelyn didn't mind at all.
Instead, her gaze seemed affectionate.
"Oh, by the way, why is my grandpa so eager for us to go to the construction site?"
The present Evelyn was no longer the icy and aloof person she used to be.
In front of Charles, she was a gentle and obedient girl.
"Your Thompson family probably bought a problematic piece of land. You'll find out the details once we get there."
The construction site for the tourist city project was quite far from the center of Starbain City, taking over two hours to drive there.
Charles parked the car, and Evelyn took the lead in guiding the way.
Although she wasn't in charge of this project, she had visited the site before after winning the bid.
If there hadn't been so many accidents in between, it was for sure that once the project was completed, the Thompson family would make a fortune.
"For safety, let's put on our helmets first."
Evelyn, being familiar with the route, headed towards the office.
Just as she was about to put on her safety helmet, a petite figure entered.
At first glance, the person appeared to be around 5.2 feet tall but had an excellent figure and exquisite features.
The young girl entered and immediately threw herself into Evelyn's arms, rubbing against her affectionately.
Charles couldn't help but stare.
"Evelyn, why do you have time to come to the construction site to find me today?"
The young girl's name was Sunny Thompson, Evelyn's younger sister, her biological sister with a four-and-a-half-year age difference.
Due to their situation in the Thompson family, the relationship between the two sisters was very close.
Sunny had recently graduated and came to the construction site voluntarily to gain experience as an assistant.
In contrast, Evelyn's face turned red, and she quickly pushed her sister away nervously, "Sunny, there's someone else here!"
"Huh? This gentleman looks familiar, doesn't he?"
Sunny's personality was more mischievous than Evelyn's.
Tilting her head, she suddenly realized, "I remember now, isn't he the one secretly hidden in your notebook... hmm... hmm..."
Evelyn covered Sunny's mouth immediately and anxiously said, "If you dare say it, I'll throw away all the high heels in your shoe cabinet!"
Sunny immediately became anxious and pulled away Evelyn's hand, saying, "You're so cruel!"
"If you dare throw away my high heels, I'll throw away your stockings!"
After saying that, she suddenly turned to Charles and asked with a half-smile, "Hey handsome, are you interested in buying Evelyn's stockings?"
"Don't worry, they're all premium goods that have been worn close to the body. I can give you a discount and sell them all to you, how about that?"
"..."
Although Charles didn't say anything, his imagination had already run wild.
Moreover, he glanced downward and noticed that Evelyn was wearing a sexy pair of black stockings today.
Evelyn's face turned even redder, and she quickly changed the subject, "Let me take him to investigate the site first. Don't follow us!"
"Investigate? Evelyn, do you have permission? I can't just let you do whatever you want."
"Grandpa told us to come."
Sunny asked excitedly, "Is Grandpa awake?!"
But soon she shook her head helplessly, "Even if it's grandpa, it won't work. Because this piece of land doesn't belong to the Thompson family anymore."
At this time, the office door was pushed open.
A young man with an oily face sneered and replied, "That's right. This piece of land is already under the control of our Wilson family."
