My Wife Is A Ghost Exorciser

Chapter 323 The Anchor Took Bribes

The two women were talking happily when sounds of scuffling came from behind, Song Yan and Madam Tao turned to look at Fu Yu Shen who was dragging the reluctant-looking Tao Guotin.

Tao Guotin must have sensed their gaze because he raised his head and looked at his mother before pulling his lips into a smile and awkwardly said, " M..Mom…hi?"

Madam Tao glanced at her son from head to toe, she knew that her son was unharmed but only after making sure with her eyes did she calmly retract her gaze and then huffed before turning around to go back into the house.  She didn't even say a word to Tao Guotin telling him that he wasn't going to be forgiven that easily.

Tao Guotin looked at his mother before turning to look at Fu Yu Sheng, who drew the family rod from the rear seat of the car and then turned to look at me with a soft smile. " Come on tomb raider, it's time for you to receive your prize."

Tao Guotin: "….." he didn't want this prize can he refuse?

The expression on Fu Yu Sheng's face told him that there was no way he would be able to refuse this 'awesome' prize. With the help of Fu Yu Shen, Tao Guotin was dragged into the Tao house where Fu Yu Sheng very respectfully handed the family rod to Old madam Tao.

Since old master Fu wasn't here then the family punishment could only be handed down by Old madam Tao who was the elder of the family.

Old madam Tao clenched the rod in her hands and then looked at her grandson who was standing in front of her and shouted, " Unfilial brat! Get down on your knees!"

Tao Guotin did get on his knees but not because he wanted to but because he was scared off by his grandmother. This was the first time the old lady has raised her voice to him like this before this, she would only tell him not to do this and that in a soft voice.

But what Tao Guotin didn't know was that madam Tao was the only sister of Old master Fu. No matter how delicately she was raised, her upbringing was that of an ironclad lady, from learning how to deal with the schemes of the backyard to learning how to take care of business, she learned everything. How could she be that easily dealt with? The only reason old madam Tao never bothered to raise her voice on Tao Guotin was that she was guilty. Guilty of not stopping her son from going to the battlefield,  if only she had tried harder than she would have been able to save her son and her grandson wouldn't have to grow up without a father but who would have known that Tao Guotin would take advantage of her love for him like this!

Even Fu Yu Shen was startled along with Song Yan only Fu Yu Sheng who saw his grandaunt pave the way for the Tao industries together with his grand-uncle was unfazed. He calmly stared at Tao Guotin who was being dealt with before taking the tea and cakes offered by Madam Tao.

Song Yan too was only startled for a few minutes before she took the cake and handed it to Fu Chen as she told him, " Chen Chen make sure not to make mistakes like uncle Guotin or you will be cleaned up by your great grandfather like this."

Great grandfather would rather break the family rod than hit him, thought Fu Chen inwardly but he still obediently nodded at his mother's words and said, " I will make sure that I wouldn't do mistakes like that, mommy."

Tao Guotin was handled by old madam Tao for a very long time by the time his punishment finished, Tao Guotin didn't even have the energy to get up from the floor. With his limbs sprawled he simply lay silently on the ground questioning his life.

Fu Yu Sheng casually glanced at the 'dead' Tao Guotin before he turned to look at Old madam Tao and softly said, " The anchor who dared Guotin was caught this morning, I carefully looked into the matter and found out that the anchor was actually hired by someone to deliberately lure Guotin to the old tomb. For this job, he was paid at least a sum of fifteen million yuan and that was why he took it."

The second Fu Yu Sheng said those words, the entire Tao family sucked in a breath, even Tao Guotin sat up straight and looked at Fu Yu Sheng with a startled expression. That rival of his actually took bribes for sending him to the tomb?

Fu Yu Shen was surprised as well, he thought that the matter was simple after all everyone involved in the matter was young teens but now that he heard that the anchor actually put forth such a bet for unscrupulous reasons, he couldn't help but tremble. The young teens of this time were really scary, they were actually taking bribes to kill someone.

Only Song Yan wasn't surprised, from the beginning she had an inkling that something was wrong with the dare that was handed over to Tao Guotin group, after all, there were so many tombs in the city but the anchor chose the one in the Qili village and by some freak of coincidence it turned out to be the most dangerous one? Such coincidence was only possible when human factors were involved.

Old madam Tao already had a suspicion, even though her family was almost gone the business was still there and many internal forces wanted to take over it. It wasn't a surprise that her grandson was targeted once again, the surprise was actually Tao Guotin falling into the trap set for him so easily!

Fu Yu Sheng glanced at the shocked expression of his cousin and shook his head, sure enough, this big bear cousin of his was still as naive as he was back then. From the start to finish he never even thought that something was wrong with the anchor.
