... Mr. Fang asked me to call Doctor Xiao when he returned!" Zhang Xingying looked troubled after hearing Dr. Cui's words."Mr. Fang is just being polite! You can't take it literally! Alright, you don’...The girl is still unconscious, but the wounds on her body no longer bleed. Even so, upon seeing the fresh red scars on her daughter’s body, Xiao Jingru couldn’t help but quietly shed tears somewhere inside. Apart from the soft weeping of Xiao Jingru in the villa living room, there was no other sound.
Suddenly, voices outside the villa could be heard. Jin Xianglin stood up from the sofa with a swift ‘whoosh’ upon hearing the voices. Upon hearing the sounds too, Xiao Jingru turned back to look at the entrance of the villa but did not stand up due to holding her daughter.
Xiao Jian also heard the voices and his face showed signs of panic; he wanted to get up as well, but was pushed down onto the sofa by a black-clad man who held him by the shoulder.
Jin Xianglin stepped out of the villa entrance. Outside were Xiao Yu and two masters slowly approaching. Jin Xianglin asked anxiously at the door: "Masters—Doctor Xiao, how is it Have you caught her"
"Hehe, General Manager Jin, here she is! She’s the one who cast the curse!" Master Zhang pointed to the red-clothed woman in their arms and said with a light laugh.
"Hahaha... well done~ Masters—Doctor Xiao, come inside please!" Upon hearing that this red-clothed woman was the shaman casting the curse, Jin Xianglin burst into laughter. Although he was laughing, Xiao Yu could feel the sharpness in Jin Xianglin’s laughter.
Jin Xianglin escorted Xiao Yu and company into the living room, then threw that shaman onto the ground there. After seeing her lying on the floor, Jin Xianglin said to a black-clad man: "Ah Hua, find some rope and tie her up! I want to see why she’s harming my daughter!" Upon finishing his words, Jin Xianglin glared fiercely at Xiao Jian.
When Xiao Yu and company entered the villa with this red-clothed woman in hand, Jin Xianglin had been staring straight at Xiao Jian. Seeing Xiao Jian's current state now, if Jin Xianglin still couldn’t figure it out, he would have long since been devoured by his competitors.
The black-clad man fetched a rope to tie up the red-clothed woman, but she showed no signs of waking up at all.
"Doctor Xiao, can you wake her up"
Looking at Xiao Yu, Jin Xianglin thought that even though he guessed and was almost certain it was this woman and Xiao Jian who harmed his daughter, since Xiao Jian was still Jingru’s nephew, without any concrete evidence, he couldn’t just act on suspicion.
The moment Xiao Jian heard Jin Xianglin's words, beads of sweat instantly covered his forehead. The hands placed on his legs were trembling uncontrollably; even his legs began to shake involuntarily.
At this moment, Xiao Jingru also noticed Xiao Jian and her eyes showed suspicion. However, she couldn't believe that her nephew would harm her daughter in such a vicious way. Thinking about the worms on her daughter's body made Xiao Jingru’s heart ache as if being pierced by a knife.
The two masters calmly sat on the sofa, watching everything without any expression. They did not want to intervene in other people's family affairs. However, when their gaze landed on Xiao Yuguo, they both flashed sharp looks; this young man had greatly challenged their decades of knowledge and understanding.
Xiao Yuguo walked next to the female sorceress and grabbed her left hand for a pulse diagnosis. As he was taking the pulse, he seemed puzzled and frowned.
After completing the pulse check on the woman's left hand, Xiao Yuguo moved to her right hand, took another pulse reading, and after more than a minute released her hand with a frown, walking back to sit on the sofa.
"Doctor Xiao, how is it Can this woman wake up"
Jin Xianglin noticed Xiao Yuguo's worried expression and thought that the woman must be beyond help. He asked anxiously; he needed her awake if he wanted to identify Xiao Jian as the perpetrator.
Xiao Jian, upon seeing Xiao Yuguo’s appearance, also assumed the woman wouldn't wake up. He let out a long sigh of relief, knowing his aunt would protect him with no sufficient evidence against him, especially since he was the only heir left in the Xiao family.
"Hmm Oh... Yes, she just fainted; pour her some water and she'll be fine!" Only now did Xiao Yuguo respond.
The two masters and Jin Xianglin thought that if a splash of water could revive her, why was he so worried They had presumed the woman was beyond help.
Xiao Jian’s previously relaxed mood instantly tensed up after hearing Xiao Yuguo's words; his gaze towards Jin Xianglin and Xiao Jingru was evasive.
Actually, Xiao Yuguo frowned for another reason. The female sorceress merely had her vital energy drained by a spirit and then fainted from the shock of being hit, but her pulse pattern was highly unusual. A woman’s constitution is typically yin, yet hers was predominantly yang with traces of yin, which was peculiar. Additionally, she seemed to have fewer internal organs than a typical woman.
Sitting on the sofa, Xiao Yuguo closely observed the appearance of the female sorceress. Although very beautiful, her skin and features were clearly not Chinese but Southeast Asian.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu thought of something. The more he thought about it, the more convinced he became, especially regarding her pulse. Through the connection between these two factors, Xiao Yu immediately understood what was going on.
By the time Xiao Yu figured it out, he wasn't sure how to feel about the woman lying on the ground. He looked at the shaman with curiosity; this was the first time in his many years, including Zhong Kui's memories, that he had encountered someone like her.
A black-clad person carried a basin of water from the kitchen and poured it onto the face of the仰麵躺在地上的女降頭師。
"Eh" "…" "…", the female shaman slowly exhaled, gradually opening her eyes to gaze blankly at the ceiling.
Xiao Jian, sitting on the sofa, saw that the female shaman had regained consciousness and lowered his head, burying himself in the sofa and not daring to look up.
Suddenly, the female shaman thought of something and tried to sit up but couldn't. It was then she noticed the ropes binding her.
It must be said that the black-clad person's knot-tying skills were impressive; a single rope had bound her like an Egyptian mummy, lying stiffly on the ground.
The shaman found herself unable to move no matter how she tried. She let out a hoarse and shrill cry, writhing in an attempt to break free from the ropes.
Seeing that she couldn't escape the ropes, the female shaman stopped struggling and began looking around the room. When her eyes met Xiao Yu and the two masters, they narrowed slightly, showing a glint of malice deep within.
Suddenly, she spotted Xiao Jian sitting in the corner of the sofa; surprise flashed across her face as she emitted a hoarse yet sharp cry: "Husband~ Save me! Quickly save me!"
"Puh! Cough cough…～…" Hearing what the female shaman said, Xiao Yu spewed out all the tea in his mouth and began to violently cough.
"Doctor Xiao, are you okay" Jin Xianglin saw that Xiao Yu had choked on the tea water and asked with concern.
"Cough cough…～…" Xiao Yu lowered his head, coughing while waving a hand to indicate he was fine.
Jin Xianglin and the two masters looked at Xiao Yu with suspicion. What had happened What could possibly make the usually steady Xiao Yu act this way
Seeing that Xiao Yu was fine, Jin Xianglin turned his head without any expression on his face, squinting as a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes. When he originally heard the female spirit medium lying on the ground call Xiao Jian her husband, Jin Xianglin knew something wasn’t right and it had to be them two who did it.
Xiao Jingru didn’t expect that Xiao Jian would do it either. He was her only nephew, and she treated him well. She even planned to leave the Wanpeng Company in his hands when she grew old. Therefore, she found it hard to understand why he had done this.
"Xiao Jian, why Why did you hurt your cousin" Xiao Jingru became more puzzled as she put her daughter on the sofa and pointed at Xiao Jian with a resentful look.
"Auntie, it’s not me. I don’t know her! This must have been set up to frame me. Oh~" Xiao Jian looked panicked and avoided looking at Xiao Jingru.
“What… Mr. Xiao, you’ve forgotten You said you would love me for a lifetime! How can you say that you don’t know me” The female spirit medium lying on the ground suddenly became agitated as she thrashed about and shouted in a hoarse voice.
"Who are you, why do you want to harm me I don’t know you!" Upon hearing what the female spirit medium said, Xiao Jian immediately jumped up from the sofa and pointed at her shouting.
“Husband, don't abandon me! Don't you remember our passionate days together” The woman on the ground gave a flirtatious smile as she looked at Xiao Jian.
"Mm…~" Hearing the female spirit medium’s words, Xiao Yu’s previously amused expression instantly twisted. He clamped his mouth shut and ran out of the villa.
After coming outside, Xiao Yu didn’t go back inside but stood there under the moonlight, contemplating how to deal with the ghost in the villa.
A short while later, Grandmaster Li walked out from the house. Seeing that Xiao Yu was standing motionless under the moonlight, he slowly approached him!
"Brother Xiao, you know the Five Animal Exercises and also understand exorcism methods. Did you inherit Wang Family’s legacy" Grandmaster Li asked softly behind Xiao Yu.
He had seen that things inside were almost settled, so he came out as well. He was somewhat puzzled about this and needed to confirm it with Xiao Yu.dare say anything; all they could do was stay silent.Xiao Yu naturally noticed this but remained silent without saying a word.Seeing his son and brother-in-law's demeanor, Ye Fei frowned slightly.
