Suzhou Garden haunted chaos

  In Suzhou City, there was a locally famous rich merchant named Ning Xitong. His family was also a well-known family that had been passed down for many generations, not only being the top wealthy family in the local area but also having some business abroad.

  His family has a centuries-old garden outside Suzhou City, with a history of hundreds of years. The environment is quiet and elegant, with pavilions, towers, rocks, and waterside pavilions, making it one of the gardens in Suzhou with relatively high historical value.

  However, since half a year ago, after they handled the unknown ancient tomb behind the hill in their garden, the garden has become restless. Every night, the whole garden becomes gloomy, and every evening, there are bursts of women's low-pitched crying sounds.

  Although it was calm again during the day and no one in the garden was hurt, this situation was still terrifying for people who were originally quite superstitious. So soon, the nannies, gardeners, drivers, and florists invited by the Ning family all requested to resign, and even Ning Xitong's family members did not want to live here anymore.

  In desperation, Ning Xi Tong moved to another villa of his own. However, leaving the garden empty was not a solution either, so he spent money inviting masters from nearby temples and Taoist temples to perform rituals to appease the restless spirits of unknown generations, but to no avail.

  That day, while browsing some news online, he suddenly found a post in a chat room from someone claiming to be a "paranormal adventurer" who said he could help people with paranormal events for free, including transportation and accommodation costs. However, if the matter was successful, the reward he would ask for would also be very expensive.

  Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, Ning Xi Tong hastily sent three consecutive emails to the other party without much consideration and left his contact information as requested. He then anxiously waited for the other party to get in touch with him.

  Now Huang Tianxuan is reading these three emails, smiling in his heart and thinking that doing so is really useful. He didn't expect to get the information he wanted so quickly, and when the time comes, not only can he subdue a ghost, but also take the opportunity to collect all the ghosts in the hospitals around Suzhou.

  He took out a closed phone, then opened it and dialed the other party's number. This was an encrypted phone that he had prepared at the time of design, and it was an unregistered anonymous phone. It is usually turned off and only used when receiving a commissioned task to contact the parties involved.

  "Ding ding ding——" A sudden and urgent phone call rang out, Ning Xi Tong was currently hosting an important meeting, but in fact his heart had already reached a very anxious state. After seeing the post of that "Paranormal Adventurer" on the website that day, he didn't think twice before sending three consecutive emails to the other party, showing how anxious he was. But now three days have passed and the other party hasn't shown any intention of contacting him, making him regret that he must have been deceived by someone, it must be someone's prank.

  However, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart, so every day no matter what he was doing, as long as the phone rang, he would definitely answer it.

  "Hello, is this Mr. Ning?" A strange yet calm voice came from the other end of the phone, and it sounded quite young.

  "Yes, yes, yes," Ning Xi Tong hastily replied, so that the surrounding subordinates would not know which big boss's phone call it was, and their heads became tense like that.

  "I have received your email, it's just that I've only just returned from abroad, so I didn't have a chance to reply in time, please forgive me."

  "You're welcome."

  "Judging from what you said, it can be basically confirmed that there are some unclean things in your old house. I can help you deal with this. However, I may not arrive in Suzhou until three days later. Let's contact each other then."

  "Alright, I'm counting on you then. Don't worry, I'll definitely repay you handsomely."

  "Hehe, you'd better wait patiently for two days first."

  Huang Tianxuan returned the line and did not wait for three days to go to Suzhou, but immediately flew to Suzhou. Of course, he didn't fly there himself, but took a plane, because he can't fly freely yet and must wait until he reaches the level of Shengmo Daoshi before he can fly in the sky on his own.

  After arriving in Suzhou, he did not contact the Ning surname rich merchant first, but bought a city map of Suzhou, and first put the whole Suzhou landscape in his mind, and also found the ancient garden owned by the Ning family - Cai Chen Yuan. It makes him wonder why it's named like this, seems similar to some historical figure.

  Suzhou is indeed a beautiful city, no wonder people say "above there is heaven, below are Suzhou and Hangzhou". The ancient city of Suzhou is situated in the midst of a network of waterways, with streets built along rivers and canals; buildings constructed alongside the water, with front courtyards and back gardens, forming a unique landscape of "small bridges, flowing water, and households". The classical gardens of Suzhou, which combine architecture, hills, water features, carvings, and paintings, are a treasure trove of human civilization. The Humble Administrator's Garden and the Lingering Garden are among China's four most famous gardens, and together with the Net Master Garden, the Mountain Villa with Embracing Beauty, the Canglang Pavilion, the Lion Grove Garden, the Art Museum, the Couple's Retreat Garden, and the Retreat & Reflection Garden, were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in December 1997 and November 2000. The ancient towns of Tongli, Zhouzhuang, and Luzhi are currently applying to be included in the list of world cultural heritage sites.

  In the past, Suzhou was not only a famous tourist destination in history but also one of the few wealthy towns in Jiangnan. It has always been a place where scholars and writers lingered. In modern times, on the premise that the ancient city is well protected, Suzhou has built many modern industrial parks and gradually formed a new modern urban area.

  There are more than 20 large and small hospitals in Suzhou City, among which more than 10 have a long history and are the places that Huang Tianxuan must go to. He didn't waste time either, after getting off the plane, he found a place to stay in the city and immediately went to Suzhou Municipal Hospital.

  He didn't return to the hotel until it was almost dawn, exhausted and dispirited. The service girls at the front desk thought he was another guest who had gone out for a night of revelry and hadn't returned, so they looked at him with slight disdain.
