Chapter 168: 168 Sweeping Evil (Fourth Watch)
Mo Qianjue took the docunts, "Alright, you may leave now."
The man in the suit respectfully backed away and left.
Mo Qianjue casually extinguished his cigar, his jet-black phoenix eyes revealing no emotion. He flipped through the docunts slowly and steadily, his expression remaining as calm as ever, until a hint of disappointnt eventually erged on his tranquil face.
The information was almost identical to what he had seen initially, with the descriptions of Chu Jin essentially being words like ’useless’ and ’waste’.
Mo Qianjue flipped through the last page with a lack of interest.
His profound pupils suddenly shrank.
The corners of his lips curved into a bewitching smile.
He was looking forward to seeing what would happen tomorrow at the Zhao family’s place.

On the other side, Mo Zhixuan had just walked not far with Chu Jin when they were approached by a middle-aged man.
Upon seeing Chu Jin, the man’s face completely changed, and in a flurry, he rushed over to Chu Jin. Before Chu Jin could react, the man knelt down in front of her with a ’thud’.
"Master Chu! You are Master Chu... I’ve finally found you. Please, you must save my child."
Mo Zhixuan’s expression changed and he instinctively shielded Chu Jin behind him, his voice very cold as he spoke, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man was just an ordinary person who had never encountered such a powerful presence before. The man seed too frightened to speak, his complexion turning deathly pale.
Chu Jin slightly lifted her eyes, "You’re scaring him."
With that said, she helped the middle-aged man up, "Uncle, what happened? Take your ti and don’t worry. If there’s anything I can help with, I’ll certainly assist you."
Mo Zhixuan discreetly pulled Chu Jin closer to his side.
Talking is talking, why stand so close!
The middle-aged man first cautiously glanced at Mo Zhixuan, and then turned towards Chu Jin, his voice hoarse as he said, "I heard people say that Master Chu has a golden tongue and a divine ability in fortune-telling. I only have this one daughter, please, you must save her!"
"Master Chu, my daughter, she’s been possessed, and she has been unconscious for seven days and nights, constantly uttering nonsense. Master, please
save my daughter. If sothing happens to her, I won’t be able to live either..."
Speaking up to this point, the middle-aged man was almost crying. He had tried all possible thods over the past few days and employed nurous folk redies, yet none could wake his daughter.
His family had always been sparse in numbers, and it almost ended with his generation, but fortunately, heaven bestowed a blessing, and at the age of 45, his wife finally beca pregnant.
At 46, his wife gave birth to a daughter.
In a blink of seven years, as his daughter grew more sensible and sweet, his career also stabilized. But then, this disaster struck.
His daughter was his life, his everything.
He couldn’t afford to let anything happen to her!
Listneing to the middle-aged man’s narration, Chu Jin’s brow slightly furrowed, then she asked, "Have you taken her to the hospital?"
The middle-aged man wiped his tears, "Yes, we did, but the doctors said there was no problem, her physical indicators were all normal."
Over the past few days, he had visited all the major hospitals in Capital City, receiving the sa diagnosis at each one.
When he had lost all hope, an elderly person ntioned that the child might be possessed and suggested inviting a great immortal to take a look.
However, not only did these immortals fail to improve his child’s condition, but they actually seed to worsen it.
It was then that he suddenly rembered, a few days before, overhearing a colleague talking about a Living Immortal who was supposedly very accurate with predictions, located at the crossroads. He found this place from a photograph provided by the colleague.
Although the girl in front of him was quite young.
Nevertheless, he had to try.
His daughter was now the sole pillar of support for both him and his wife, and if sothing happened to her, they wouldn’t be able to go on living.
Listening to the middle-aged man’s plea, Chu Jin’s expression turned somber as she said, "Uncle, don’t be sad. Take
to your house to have a look."
Hearing Chu Jin say this, a glimr of hope appeared in the eyes of the middle-aged man, "Okay, thank you, Master Chu. Please follow , my ho isn’t far from here."
Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Alright, please lead the way then."
After speaking, she turned her head toward Mo Zhixuan and said, "I’ll go with this uncle to take a look. If you’re busy, you can go back first. Don’t worry about , goodbye."
Upon finishing, Chu Jin turned and followed the middle-aged man.
In her heart, she quietly breathed a sigh of relief, finally having escaped from that man. Heaven knows his aura was too strong, being with him she always felt an oppressive sensation, making it sowhat difficult to... breathe.
Who knew, just as her heart had not fully settled, a cool sensation ca from her wrist, causing her heart to be suspended once again.
A shadow cast overhead, the man beside her blocking most of the sunlight, like a moving block of ice,
bringing a hint of coolness to the blazing sumr.
"I’ll accompany you," a deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.
She suddenly felt a headache coming on.
Chu Jin raised her hand and rubbed her temples, "I can go alone, aren’t you busy?"
"Not busy," the man said succinctly.
The CEO of the Mo Group saying he’s not busy, who would believe that?
"Why do you want to follow ?" Chu Jin suddenly felt irritable.
The man’s expression remained indifferent, feeling the lingering warmth in his palm, he automatically filtered out the anger in Chu Jin’s words, his attractive Adam’s apple moving up and down twice, "Because you are my fiancée."
Not follow her, and let a flower-like girl trail behind a strange old man?
Chu Jin: "..."
Ah, this person can’t be serious!
Chu Jin’s heart suddenly beca chaotic.
Fortunately, the district where the middle-aged man lived was not far from here, a ten-minute walk brought them to their destination.
It was an old residential area with good greenery, the path leading to the building was lined with large trees; many elderlies with white hair sat beneath them on small stools, cooling off and chatting.
The environnt was very peaceful.
The middle-aged man’s ho was on the 7th floor, and since it was an old district, there were no elevators.
"I’m sorry, Master Chu, for the trouble of having you climb the stairs," the middle-aged man said to Chu Jin with a guilty smile, but the sorrow in his eyes could not be dispelled.
Chu Jin smiled, "It’s okay, good for exercising."
With that, she broke free from Mo Zhixuan’s hand and began climbing the stairs.
Mo Zhixuan frowned slightly, seemingly dissatisfied with the surrounding environnt, but he still followed behind her.
With each floor they ascended, Chu Jin noticed almost every household placed a brand new broom in front of their doors.
There was a folk belief that placing a broom at the doorway could ward off evil spirits.
Broom=Sweeping Evil.
Arriving on the seventh floor, the middle-aged man took out a key from his pocket and opened the door, "Master Chu, please co in; this is my ho."
Chu Jin noticed that there was also a broom placed outside the middle-aged man’s door.
Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan entered the apartnt one after the other; it was a modestly-sized two-bedroom flat, arranged warmly. It was evident that the lady of the house must be a gentle and kind-hearted person.
Upon hearing the noise, a weary middle-aged woman with red eyes ca out of the inner room. She paused slightly when she saw Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man imdiately went forward to introduce them, "Lan, this is Master Chu Jin that I asked for help. This gentleman is..."
When it ca to Mo Zhixuan, the middle-aged man’s face showed a hint of difficulty; judging by the man’s impressive appearance, he was definitely not a simple character, and he seed to have an unusual relationship with Master Chu Jin, but it was not his place to speculate and risk misspeaking.
Mo Zhixuan put his arm around Chu Jin’s shoulder and introduced himself to the couple, "Hello, I am her fiancé, last na Mo."
The middle-aged woman imdiately greeted Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan, "Hello Master Chu, Mr. Mo."
Then she grasped Chu Jin’s hand, her voice tight with emotion, "Master Chu, you must save my daughter."
Mo Zhixuan’s eyes subtly fell on their clasped hands, his gaze becoming sowhat profound.
"Lan, don’t be like this, let Master Chu go in and see Lili first."
"Yes, yes, I’m just too excited," the middle-aged woman wiped away her tears, "Master Chu, please follow
this way."
As they spoke, the group stepped into a children’s room.
Like any little girl’s room, the decorations were all pink, with pink Hello Kitty curtains, and Hello Kitty patterns on the wardrobe doors.
The small children’s room, now cramped due to the people entering, felt even more crowded.
The middle-aged woman pointed to the girl lying in bed, introducing her, "Master Chu, this is my daughter, Lili."
The girl on the bed looked to be about seven or eight years old, with her eyes tightly closed, her face deathly pale, and dark circles under her eyes.
