"It's about one of my... partners. Their house has been showing strange watermarks recently," Zhuang Kangyu said, almost unable to suppress his laughter. "And every morning, the family wakes up with bruises all over, like they've been beaten."

Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. "Okay, send me the address, I'll come over and take a look."

Zhuang Kangyu immediately gave him the address and didn't hang up the phone, continuing to chat. "Master Jiang, I suspect their house has water ghosts! I've always felt something was off about that property. I heard there were deaths there before!"

"Drowned?" Jiang Yiqing asked.

If it involved drowning, it was definitely possible.

"Ah... not drowning, I think." Zhuang Kangyu scratched his head. "But someone definitely died there. When he bought the place, it was half off!"

Zhuang Kangyu was rambling, and Jiang Yiqing had initially intended to figure out the situation based on his words. But now, it seemed like it would be better to check the place out in person.

Zhuang Kangyu suddenly had an idea and said, "Master Jiang, can I go with you? I'm free these days, and I've got nothing better to do."

"You're not scared?" Jiang Yiqing couldn't shake the feeling that Zhuang Kangyu was almost gleeful about the situation.

Zhuang Kangyu chuckled, "What's there to be scared of with Master Jiang around? I'll just follow you and watch the fun."

Jiang Yiqing shrugged. He didn't mind either way, if Zhuang Kangyu wanted to come, let him.

Zhuang Kangyu eagerly agreed and immediately started changing his shoes, preparing to leave.

Mrs. Zhuang emerged from the bedroom, noticing her husband's rush. She furrowed her brows. "Where are you off to in such a hurry?"

"Ha, there's a water ghost incident at Xu Kaida's place. I'm going to have a look at the fun!" Zhuang Kangyu said, excited. He even called to his wife, "Come with me!"

Mrs. Zhuang replied with a flat, "I'm not going. You go ahead."

She was honestly fed up. Zhuang Kangyu and Xu Kaida had been at odds for years. Both had started from scratch, building similar-sized empires, and loved poking at each other.

The last time Zhuang Kangyu had been in danger, Xu Kaida was one of the first suspects, though they didn't really believe it due to his character. Still, Zhuang Kangyu couldn't shake the grudge from the time Xu Kaida mocked him for being so foolish.

It made sense that now, despite the so-called "water ghost" situation, Zhuang Kangyu couldn't resist going over to enjoy the spectacle.

Mrs. Zhuang shook her head. "You're in your fifties and still acting like this!"

Meanwhile, Xu Kaida wasn't too thrilled either. After pleading with Zhuang Kangyu to help contact Jiang Yiqing, he'd spent hours speaking kindly to him. It was a humiliating experience he'd never forget.

"Are you really going to act like this?" Mrs. Xu, who had been well-groomed but now bore dark circles under her eyes and a swollen, bruised cheek that made her look like she'd been beaten, asked.

Xu Kaida didn't look much better, his eye bags nearly as big as his eyes, his face also badly beaten.

"How can I not be upset? I'll never live this down with Zhuang Kangyu laughing at me!" Xu Kaida gritted his teeth.

Mrs. Xu scoffed. "Would you rather be mocked by him or be beaten every night? Make a choice."

Xu Kaida was momentarily speechless, then sighed. Though the mocking was hard to bear, it was better than being in constant fear at home.

Still, he held onto his pride. "Hmph! Who knows if Zhuang Kangyu's recommendation is even reliable?"

Mrs. Xu shot him a stern look. "If Master Jiang gets here and you keep talking like this, don't blame me for embarrassing you."

Xu Kaida was left speechless. "I was just saying, not like I'm an idiot."

After waiting for a while, Jiang Yiqing finally arrived. As soon as Xu Kaida greeted him with a smile, his eyes went wide when he saw Zhuang Kangyu walking alongside Jiang Yiqing.

"You? What are you doing here?" Xu Kaida exclaimed, clearly shocked and angry.

As luck would have it, Jiang Yiqing had run into Zhuang Kangyu on his way in, and the two had arrived together.

Xu Kaida was stunned, both surprised and furious. He instinctively tried to cover his face.

But it was too late—Zhuang Kangyu had already seen everything and burst out laughing, pointing at Xu Kaida. "Hahaha, Xu Kaida... you look like a pig's head! Hahaha, too funny! Wait, I have to take a photo!"

"Zhuang Kangyu, don't go too far!" Xu Kaida roared, reaching out to snatch Zhuang Kangyu's phone.

It was a rare sight—two men in their fifties fighting over a phone. Jiang Yiqing didn't interfere much, just offering a few words of advice before stepping aside to watch the drama unfold.

Mrs. Xu, standing nearby, felt utterly humiliated. If anyone even mentioned the words "your husband" right now, she'd probably shout, "Your husband!" in utter frustration.

It was just too embarrassing!

Fortunately, the two men eventually realized how ridiculous they looked. After exchanging a fierce glare, they stopped bickering.

Zhuang Kangyu glanced at Xu Kaida's estate with his hands behind his back and gave a cold snort. "I told you before—cheap things never come with quality."

In truth, back when Xu Kaida bought this manor for half the usual price, Zhuang Kangyu had been jealous as hell. The place was beautiful, and it had looked like an amazing deal. Now that it turned out to be haunted, he was feeling a lot more satisfied.

Xu Kaida's expression darkened. He used to show off this place to everyone. Who would've guessed it would end up being haunted?

Mrs. Xu was beyond done with all of this. She gave up on expecting anything sensible from her husband and awkwardly turned to Jiang Yiqing. "Master Jiang, please ignore them."

Jiang Yiqing calmly looked away from the scene like a true master, aloof and unbothered. He nodded, "Madam Xu, would you mind showing me around?"

"Of course not," she replied, relieved.

After walking around the estate, Jiang Yiqing finally said, "I'm not sensing any yin energy. It doesn't feel like a haunting."

Hearing that, Xu Kaida frowned. He immediately started doubting Zhuang Kangyu's so-called "recommendation." If it's not haunted, then what the hell is it? My swollen face is right here—what more proof do you want?!

Jiang Yiqing ignored his muttering and turned his gaze to a pond nearby. He walked over, hands behind his back, and looked down at the koi swimming lazily beneath the surface. A small smile tugged at his lips. "Your koi are well cared for."
