Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 274 Never Lost in a Battle of Money and Power

Shen Jiaojiao seemed somewhat uneasy, as if she hadn't expected to see Wu Zhao in this place.

Shen Jiaojiao looked at the blocked door and Gu Chen behind Wu Zhao.

"Sister, long time no see."

Wu Zhao discovered that Shen Jiaojiao did not come alone; there was a familiar figure beside her.

It's Shen Chuan.

Shen Chuan was somewhat surprised to see Wu Zhao.

"Zhaozhao, where have you gone? We've been trying to contact you ever since we moved from Haicheng to the capital, but we just can't find you."

"Your parents are very worried about you. It's really worrying that you've run away from home."

Shen Chuan frowned and kept looking at Wu Zhao, criticizing her with strong disapproval.

"Big brother, my sister didn't mean it. Don't say that about her. She's doing quite well with Mr. Gu now."

Shen Jiaojiao tugged at Shen Chuan's arm and whispered her explanation, her eyes darting around uncertainly.

Her words deepened Shen Chuan's displeasure, and his gaze toward Wu Zhao became impatient.

"What kind of thing is it for a young girl to stay at another man's house instead of going home? She has no status or identity; it's a disgrace to the Shen family if word gets out."

"Mr. Shen is probably mistaken about something."

Wu Zhao spoke indifferently, seemingly unmoved.

The original owner of this body was sent away by Wu Zhao the night she was kicked out of the Shen family. The one standing in front of Shen Chuan now is not the pitiful Shen Zhao who begged for her family's love.

“I have absolutely no connection with your Shen family. Where I live and who I live with is none of your Shen family’s business.”

“I’ll say it again, my surname is Wu, not Shen.”

She grabbed Gu Chen, who was standing behind her, and held his wrist.

"I chose this person, and I'm happy to live in his house. Is there a problem?"

"Some people probably want to stay, but they can't find a place to live."

Wu Xingyun, who was standing behind them and couldn't squeeze in, couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard Shen Jiaojiao and Wu Zhao's conversation.

This Shen Jiaojiao is acting like she's sick; she probably has something wrong with her brain.

Ms. Lily was surprised that they knew the people in the room and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Mr. Gu, you..."

Are you here to register or to ask them to move out?

She hesitated, then tiptoed to look inside the room.

The headmistress was an elderly woman who was already quite exhausted when she spoke with Shen Jiaojiao.

He was sitting in a chair, a little out of breath.

"Director, are you alright?"

When Ms. Lily heard the principal breathing heavily, she immediately became anxious.

She let go of Xiao Xuan's hand and tried to squeeze inside.

Gu Chen put his arm around Wu Zhao's waist and pulled her aside.

"You've really gone too far! The principal said the kindergarten won't move easily. Do you think you can force the principal to move by some means you somehow obtained the government's permission?!"

Teacher Lily scolded him angrily, then ran to the principal and took out the medicine from the drawer.

"Principal, take a deep breath and don't rush."

Teacher Lily breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that the headmaster had taken the medicine.

The kindergarten director is old and suffers from asthma. Shen Jiaojiao came several times, and each time she made the director so angry that she had an attack.

Therefore, Teacher Baihe had a very bad impression of Shen Jiaojiao, almost to the point of hatred.

He looked at Shen Jiaojiao with a gaze that seemed to want to devour her, making no attempt to hide it.

Shen Chuan frowned and shielded Shen Jiaojiao behind him.

"You can't make things up without evidence. The government's approvals all follow the proper procedures."

He was holding a brown paper bag, which appeared to contain government documents.

“You can make black seem white; the principal will never agree to move.”

"You'd better leave right now, or I'll call the police!"

Wu Zhao nudged Gu Chen beside him.

"I'm quite interested in Mr. Shen's approval document. Why don't I take a look at it first?"

Gu Chen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his tone still somewhat puzzled.

"I'm just curious. Now that the approval has been issued, it shouldn't be a problem for me to take a look, right?"

No!

Shen Jiaojiao gripped Shen Chuan's arm tightly, worried that Gu Chen might notice something amiss with the approval document.

Shen Chuan was having a real headache.

He certainly couldn't show the approval document to Gu Chen.

They have come to negotiate many times, but the kindergarten director refuses to budge.

Now that Gu Chen has joined the fray, things have become even more complicated.

"Brother, if we can't get them to agree today, we won't be able to explain it to Elder Feng."

Shen Jiaojiao reminded him from behind.

"The old man said that if neither you nor I can resolve this in the end... then we should contact him."

Wu Zhao naturally heard it.

Indeed, this was written by Feng Boxue.

But what does the Witch Saint Cult want this land for?

Wu Zhao twirled the ring on his wrist.

On the surface, this land doesn't seem special, and the kindergarten is located in the suburbs.

It's actually quite close to the Gu family's villa, but far from the center of the capital.

The Witch Saint Cult has acquired this land and plans to build a high-end clubhouse. Is it really just about doing business?

"Principal, you heard it too, we had no choice."

Shen Chuan emphasized, his expression still somewhat unnatural.

"The principal must have heard of Mr. Feng's name. You don't want to disturb him, do you? Besides, we've already promised that the new location for the kindergarten has been chosen."

“As long as you, the principal, nod your head, construction can begin immediately.”

The headmaster coughed heavily twice.

"No, it's impossible!"

After decisively rejecting Shen Chuan, Principal Xi's breathing was still a little heavy.

Teacher Lily nervously patted her back.

"The kindergarten will absolutely not move!"

"If Feng Boxue wants this land, he should come to see me in person!"

Principal Xi's voice wasn't loud, but it sounded firm and authoritative.

Wu Zhao blinked and suddenly felt a tremendous golden light of merit emanating from Director Xi.

There were even traces of purple within the golden light.

The light was so dazzling that it was almost blinding, causing Wu Zhao to instinctively look away.

What terrifying merit...

The entire room was almost completely covered by the spreading golden light.

Suddenly, some blurry images flashed before Wu Zhao's eyes, and she was jolted.

Gu Chen raised his hand and touched her arm.

"What's wrong Zhao Zhao?"

It seems I now understand why the Witch Saint Cult wants this land...

If Wu Zhao hadn't noticed that the headmaster was covered in golden light, he probably wouldn't have been able to figure it out for a while.

This kindergarten director probably has something to cover up his good deeds.

What the Witch Saint Cult wants is not this land, but the headmaster!

With so much merit and fortune, the Witch Saint Cult could rebuild Feng Boxue's nearly broken body once it obtained it.

With his erudite background, Feng would find it very convenient to do anything in the capital.

Having figured this out, Wu Zhao naturally couldn't let them succeed.

"Gu Chen, I really like this school."

“Xiao Xuan likes it very much, and it’s also very close to home.”

Wu Zhao turned his head to look at Gu Chen and winked at him.

"What you like, I will naturally help you keep it."

Gu Chen spoke calmly.

“It’s just a piece of land. If Feng Boxue can buy it, I’ll pay double the price.”

Shen Jiaojiao's face immediately turned extremely ugly, and she took a deep breath.

"Mr. Gu, if you are interested, you can participate in our project..."

Gu Chen interrupted her, seemingly unwilling to communicate with her.

"Participation? What I want is something I can't share with others."

As he spoke, he looked at the headmaster again.

"You must be the principal? If you don't mind, I can buy this land."
