Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Then As They Wish Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Then As They Wish After leaving the community, Lu Xun and his companion parted ways with Han Lie.
Nearby, in the garden of another community, an elderly woman with a kindly face sat in the shade of a tree, enjoying the cool breeze.
Those passing by didn’t notice her fingers constantly moving.
When she discovered that the ritually infused porcelain dolls could not be destroyed, her expression darkened imnsely.
She felt a thread of inexplicable unease, having clashed with people from the special departnt for over a year and had co to understand them quite well.
The fact that they could lock the magic within her porcelain dolls and forcibly sever her connection with them was sothing those people couldn’t possibly achieve.
Could it be that the special departnt had enlisted a Magician to deal with her this ti? It seed she would have to be even more cautious from now on.
She decided not to make any moves for the ti being and planned to leave the Imperial Capital after finishing her business with the Liu Family.
Then, her phone rang.
Her grimacing face softened a fraction after she listened to what Old Mrs. Xiang had to say.
Now, she needed to find a new place to stay and was also afraid that people from the special departnt might still be nearby monitoring her, so she arranged to et with Old Mrs. Xiang the day after tomorrow.
Elsewhere, after exiting the community, Lu Xun and Luo Ning found a blind spot in the surveillance and checked their surroundings for any hidden onlookers before removing their masks.
Lu Xun asked Luo Ning, “Now that the task has successfully been handed over to us, do we strike proactively, or wait?”
Luo Ning raised her hand and made so calculations, “Wait. If all goes well, it should be resolved within three days.”
Lu Xun nodded, “Alright, I’ll follow your arrangent.”
Luo Ning looked at him with a smirk, “Mr. Lu, you’re the minister.”
Lu Xun chuckled, “That’s why from now on, you’re the biggest authority in our departnt; even the minister listens to you.”
Luo Ning gave him a look, “I’ve suddenly realized you have quite a potential to be a foolish ruler.”
Lu Xun’s lips curled upward, “I’m honored!”
Luo Ning realized this guy was becoming shaless. Just then, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was Xiang Bin calling, she picked up.
“Master Luo, our house has been searched, and my Grandma placed sothing in my mother’s and my rooms.”
Luo Ning replied, “I’ll co over now.”
“Good, we’ll wait for you.” Xiang Bin let out a sigh of relief.
After hanging up, Luo Ning smiled at Lu Xun, “That was quick news. Shall we go and have a look together?”
Since Luo Ning and Lu Xun were handling this task together, it was better for both of them to check on what was next.
Lu Xun agreed, “Sure!”
Then the two took a taxi to the Liu Family’s house.
Once inside the villa, Luo Ning introduced Lu Xun to Liu Hongxue and her son, saying he was a friend who had co to help.
Even though the Liu Family mother and son didn’t follow the entertainnt circle closely, they recognized Lu, the most popular actor.
However, they were also aware of Luo Ning’s profession, so while surprised at how well she got along with Lu, they did not ask further questions.
Luo Ning inquired, “Where’s the item?”
Xiang Bin replied, “In the bedroom and study. We didn’t know what it was, so we didn’t dare touch it and waited for you to check it out.”
Luo Ning nodded, “You did the right thing. Let’s go take a look.”
“Alright!”
Xiang Bin first took Luo Ning to his mother’s bedroom, and opening the wardrobe, he pulled open a drawer, moved the items above, revealing two blood-red stones lying inside.
The mont Luo Ning entered, she sensed the Yin Sha Qi, and her brows furrowed at the sight of the red stones.
“They intended for you and your mother to have an accident and die soon.”
Xiang Bin already suspected it was nothing benign, but he still shuddered at Luo Ning’s words.
His Grandma had a cruel heart, not stopping until she saw them dead, which left him feeling bitterly cold.
He asked, “Master Luo, what are these?”
Luo Ning replied, “Soone deliberately placed these in a grave with heavy Yin Qi and nurtured them for at least a year.”
“The Yin Sha Qi on them is very strong, if you and your mother keep sleeping in that bedroom for seven consecutive days, an accident will occur.”
She said aningfully, “For example, if you both were to drive or ride out together after seven days, there is a high likelihood of a severe car accident leading to death.”
Such an accident would not be suspected to be related to the Xiang Family.
It seed the person behind this was in a rush and wanted to deal swiftly with Liu Hongxue and her son.
Hearing this, Liu Hongxue and her son’s faces changed, “How vicious!”
Fortunately, they followed Luo Ning’s advice to install monitoring throughout the house and kept vigilant watch.
Otherwise, if they had not discovered these cursed items, they could have been killed.
“Master Luo, what should we do now? Will you dispose of these things?” Liu Hongxue shivered with fear as she asked.
Luo Ning moved closer to sense the stones, then stood up, “Soone has tampered with the stones, and moving them would likely be detected.”
“This ti let’s lure the person out instead, so let’s not startle the snake.”
“Does that an we keep the stones in the drawer?” Liu Hongxue felt uneasy even looking at them.
Seeing her worry, Luo Ning reassured her, “I will draw a talisman and stick it on the drawer. It will not only block the Yin Qi from leaking out but also purify the room’s contaminated air, so you don’t need to worry.”
Seeing Liu Hongxue hesitate, Luo Ning added, “Otherwise, even if we deal with these things now, they’ll find other chances to plant more—second, third tis.”
Convinced by this reasoning, Liu Hongxue and her son also agreed that it made sense.
Better to draw out the perpetrator and deal with them, rather than live in constant fear of harm.
“Alright, we’ll follow Master Luo’s plan.” The two nodded their agreent.
Next, Luo Ning drew three talismans to seal the aura of the stones in both bedrooms and the study without alerting the adversary.
Luo Ning then asked, “Besides finding items, have you noticed anything else unusual?”
Xiang Bin thought carefully and said, “In the surveillance footage, my Grandma was searching through our bedrooms with soone, as if looking for sothing.”
“In the company, my secretary-assistant also entered my office looking for sothing.”
He had felt insecure, so not only did he have surveillance installed at ho, but also secretly in his office.
This exposed a spy, and the position of secretary-assistant was important, surely bought out by Xiang Jun.
This was fine; after dealing with Xiang Jun, he planned to do a thorough sweep of the company.
Luo Ning imdiately knew what they were seeking. The Evil Magician didn’t want to let her go—good.
“Go to your company today and let your opponent see and take the talisman I’ve previously given you.”
“I’ll draw a new one for your protection.”
Her eyes glead coldly as she continued, “Xiang Jun’s backer wants to deal with ; let’s grant their wish.”
Xiang Bin was originally going to ask if this might put Luo Ning in danger, but seeing her determined tone, he knew she must have a way to handle it.
“Alright, I’ll do it right away.”
He was tired of living in constant fear; it was better to risk it and take proactive steps following Luo Ning’s lead.
