Chen Nan was just about to speak when the door of the private room was gently pushed open, and several young, beautiful waitresses filed in.
They carried exquisitely arranged plates in their hands and orderly placed the dishes, beverages, and drinks that Chen Nan had previously ordered on the dining table.
Each dish on the table appeared like a meticulously crafted art piece, modest in portion but exuding delicate grace.
Once the waitresses had quietly withdrawn,
Chen Nan then spoke with a solemn expression, "Prison Chief Yang, the situation you’re facing is quite complex indeed."
He paused slightly, then continued, "To fundamentally cure it, we must first adjust the Feng Shui of the prison, striving to balance the magnetic field into a state of Yin and Yang equilibrium."
"Being a unique place, the energy field of the prison significantly affects people."
"We need to change some environmental factors to reverse the current situation where Yin energy overwhelms Yang. That is the true solution to the problem."
Chen Nan picked up a teacup, took a light sip, moistened his throat, and continued, "Furthermore, you need to take some soups with calming effects."
"This soup acts like a solid defense for your sleep, capable of stabilizing your mental state and protecting you from nightmares during sleep."
"Only by addressing both symptoms and root causes concurrently will your nightmares disappear completely."
Hearing Chen Nan’s words, excitement sparkled in Yang Ruoshui’s beautiful eyes as she couldn’t help but ask, "How can we improve the Feng Shui of the prison? What ingredients do we need for the calming soup?"
Chen Nan slightly furrowed his brows and fell into deep thought.
Seeing Chen Nan remain silent, Yang Ruoshui realized she might have been too hasty and quickly added, "Mr. Chen, I do understand some rules of the trade. Please name your price!"
Chen Nan looked astonished; he had been pondering how to improve the Feng Shui layout of the prison and had not considered asking Yang Ruoshui for payment.
Since she had mentioned it, Chen Nan did not hold back anymore and said, "I can give you the recipe for the calming soup free of charge."
"As for improving the Feng Shui layout, I don’t want money!"
"No money?" Yang Ruoshui’s eyes radiated surprise.
She knew that the fees for Feng Shui Masters to improve Feng Shui were usually high, especially for large-scale layouts, ranging from millions to tens of millions.
Chen Nan spoke up, "I would like a list of the prisoners who are scheduled to be released in the next three months from the prison."
Suspicion deepened in Yang Ruoshui’s eyes.
She looked Chen Nan up and down, attempting to decipher his intentions, yet found that the youth in front of her had a profound gaze and a smiling face. 𝚗𝚘v𝚙𝚞b.𝚌𝚘m
Like a puzzle that she could not unravel.
More so.
During their gaze.
She also had a chilling illusion, as if those eyes could peer into the deepest secrets of her heart.
Regaining her composure, Yang Ruoshui forced a smile and said, "Okay, I will organize the list and send it to you when I return."
She did not know why Chen Nan wanted the list of those people, but for her, there was no loss, nor would it violate any rules.
Chen Nan was pleased inside and calmly said, "Let’s talk about the calming soup first."
"Sour Jujube Seed is essential. It nourishes the heart, strengthens the liver, calms the mind, relieves your anxiety, and stabilizes your spirit."
"With Poria, Poria drains dampness and strengthens the spleen, calming the heart. It clears the dampness and turbidity in your body caused by negative energy, refreshing your physical environment."
"Adding Lily, which moistens the lungs and relieves coughs, clears the heart and calms the spirit; it nourishes your heart and lungs, allowing your spirit to bathe in the morning sunlight, no longer shrouded in fear."
"There’s also Polygala, with its functions of calming the mind, benefiting intelligence, and eliminating phlegm. It can help you open up your mind, blocked by nightmares, allowing you to maintain a clear state while sleeping, free from nightmares."
"These herbs, combined in certain proportions and taken twice daily, morning and evening, will improve your sleep quality over time."
Yang Ruoshui nodded seriously, imprinting the herbs in her heart.
Chen Nan then said, "Let’s talk about the prison’s Feng Shui."
"The layout of the prison cells needs a slight adjustment, those dark corners should minimize right angle designs as they gather Yin, they could be changed to arcs, which would allow for a smoother flow of energy."
"In the central area of the prison, a small open-air courtyard could be set up, planting some plants that embody Yang, like cypresses and pines."
"Cypresses and pines are evergreen throughout the seasons, symbolizing resilience, their Yang can neutralize some of the Yin energy."
"In the courtyard, place a small fountain. In Feng Shui, water symbolizes wealth and vitality; flowing water can move energy and disperse gloom."
"Furthermore, the prison’s lighting system also needs improving."
"Add some warm-toned lights, especially in corridors and within cells, as warm light mimics sunlight and can somewhat reduce the cold Yin energy."
"In terms of building materials, if feasible, use stones with properties of Yang, like Taishan rock, on some walls."
"Taishan rock has the capability of stabilizing and warding off evil, resisting negative energy."
"Also, the orientation and color of the prison’s main gate are crucial."
"If the orientation of the main gate is not auspicious, consider placing a screen or Feng Shui ornaments at the doorway to resolve this."
"The color of the gate can be vermilion red, associated with Yang, bringing Yang energy to the entire prison."
"Additionally, hang some wind chimes around the prison, as the sound they make in the wind can disturb negative energy congregations."
Yang Ruoshui listened very earnestly, her eyes shifting from tension to anticipation: "I will arrange for these to be implemented as you have instructed. I will also take the prescribed herbal soup regularly, hoping to break free from these terrible nightmares soon."
Chen Nan smiled, "Prison Chief Yang, don’t worry too much, adjustments to Feng Shui and the medicinal soup will take some time to be effective."
"During this process, try to keep your spirits up and avoid overexertion and anxiety."
"Also."
"If possible, try to stay away from the prison while improving its Feng Shui."
"You should go to places with strong Yang energy."
"In such places, your mind and body can become joyful and relaxed, and you might even temporarily escape the influence of the nightmares."
Yang Ruoshui remembered Chen Nan’s advice closely, then countered, "Mr. Chen, how do you feel about the Feng Shui here in Plum Garden where we are dining?"
Chen Nan didn’t know why Yang Ruoshui asked this, but he still said, "It’s moderate."
"That’s odd!" Yang Ruoshui’s brows furrowed with confusion: "If the Feng Shui here is just moderate, why do I feel joyful and relaxed?"
At this point, she seemed to realize something, unable to help but say: "Also, why do I feel joyful and relaxed even in the prison?"
At that moment.
She began to deeply question Chen Nan’s abilities.
