"Thank you, how exactly do I do it?"

When Liang Yueling heard Xiao Yanbao say there was another way, she immediately became excited and for a moment forgot to lower her voice. Then, a heavy object slammed hard against the door.

"Shut the hell up, I'm winning money right now!"

Gao Ping's voice trembled slightly as he shouted, indicating that he had won a lot of money. It was just a mystery where Gao Ping, who had lost all his money before, had gotten the gambling funds this time.

Gao Ping's voice sounded like a curse. Upon hearing this, Liang Yueling forcefully covered her lips with her hands, which were bound with tape, and her body trembled with fear.

Xiao Yanbao ignored all of this and slowly took out the fifth wooden stick and placed it in front of Liang Yueling's feet. Her sweet, childlike voice gradually calmed the frightened Liang Yueling down.

"The ninth line of the fifth hexagram originally represents the supreme ruler, who is strong, upright, and righteous, but is veiled by a black veil. It seems that your husband is unable to save himself and can only wait for someone to remove the veil and dispel the obscuration. That person should be you."

Xiao Yanbao didn't give Liang Yueling a chance to speak. After only a one-second pause, she spoke again:

"The sixth line of the hexagram has hit a wall and there is no way out. Turning back is the only wise thing to do. This is the true meaning of the hexagram 'Water Mountain Difficulty'."

Upon hearing that Xiao Yanbao meant for her to turn around, Liang Yueling immediately spoke anxiously:

"Didn't you say there was still a way? You don't want money, do you? You have to give me some advice. I can't turn back. My husband loves me so much, and I love my husband so much. I can't leave him."

Because Xiao Yanbao made her turn around, Liang Yueling didn't even realize that she kept switching between "you" and "you" when she spoke, and even her tone of voice had lost its previous respect.

Seeing Liang Yueling's attitude begin to change, Xiao Yanbao's willow-leaf eyebrows furrowed slightly. He reached out and threw the last wooden stick to the ground, then squatted down in front of Liang Yueling, hugging his knees. Looking at Liang Yueling's ferocious expression, he slowly spoke:

"Auntie, I don't want money. I haven't finished what I was saying yet."

“You can’t go back, but you can try to correct the mistakes your husband made. If you can correct even a little, things will take a turn for the better. At that time, with the help of some magic, there is hope that your husband can return to the way he was before.”

Although Liang Yueling didn't quite understand what kind of magic Xiao Yanbao was talking about, she understood that if she wanted Gao Ping to return to his previous gentle and refined manner and to make the family warm again, she had to correct the mistakes Gao Ping had made.

But how can I correct Gao Ping?

If I open my mouth, I'll definitely get punched and kicked. Maybe I should try calling Gao Ping's parents and my own parents over. Maybe that will make Gao Ping give up on kidnapping Xiao Yanbao.

The idea was rejected by Liang Yueling as soon as it came to mind. Gao Ping's parents had already severed ties with him. Not to mention whether the two of them would try to persuade Gao Ping, if one of them exposed the kidnapping of Xiao Yanbao, not only would he not be able to regain his previous happiness, but it would also lead to Gao Ping, his daughter, and even himself going to jail, and the whole family would be completely destroyed.

"I don't dare, he'll hit me."

As Liang Yueling spoke, tears streamed down her face. Just then, the door was slammed open from the outside by Gao Ping.

"That little brat said I was unlucky, but look how much I've won."

Gao Ping arrived at the room where Xiao Yanbao was tied up, laughing loudly. However, upon entering, he saw Xiao Yanbao squatting in front of Liang Yueling, with the tape on his body already removed.

"Who helped you open it? Was it you, you bitch?"

Gao Ping's eyes widened, his face filled with rage, as if he wanted to devour Liang Yueling. As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked Liang Yueling in the head.

"Bang!"

Liang Yueling's head slammed violently against the wall behind her. Already terrified by Gao Ping's sudden intrusion, the impact to her head caused her to faint instantly.

"Pah, what a damn bad luck!"

Instead of checking on Liang Yueling, Gao Ping spat at her, who was slumped against the wall, and squatted down next to Xiao Yanbao while cursing.

"Look at my bank balance. You little brat, you said I was having bad luck. But I don't think this is bad luck at all. This is good fortune. I'm on a roll."

Xiao Yanbao glanced at Gao Ping's phone and saw that the balance in Gao Ping's mobile wallet had reached more than four million.

Xiao Yanbao stared at the unusual red glow on Gao Ping's face and the red bumps that had appeared on the philtrum under his nose, and sighed as she spoke.

"Sigh, Uncle, this money isn't yours, you'd better not take it."

However, Gao Ping just laughed and stood up to withdraw the money. He soon received a text message from the bank confirming the deposit.

"What's in my hands is mine. What? You're not saying this money is going to disappear anytime soon, are you?"

Little Yanbao touched her belly with one hand and pointed to the sealed window with the other, saying:

"Like a sealed-off gate, impenetrable to rain, a severed head cannot be found among the fallen silver coins. Uncle, this is money to buy your life!"

At this moment, Gao Ping no longer cared about what Xiao Yanbao said. In his heart, life and death were of no concern. He only wanted money. He was comfortable as long as he had money. Even if he were to die in the next second, he would not care at all.

"You're obviously a rich girl, how would you know what poverty is like?"

After saying this, Gao Ping seemed to be thinking about something. He picked up his phone and walked towards the door, saying at the same time:

"I won quite a bit today, so I won't tie you up for now. I'll bring you KFC later. You'd better think of your family's phone number quickly, or I'll eat the KFC myself."

Just as Gao Ping was about to leave, Li Wanning gently landed beside Xiao Yanbao. Looking at the ghostly energy churning above Gao Ping's head like smoke, she calmly said:

"If he goes out, he'll probably turn into a ghost."

"And it's a vengeful ghost."

Li Wanning added that Xiao Yanbao had also figured it out. She didn't want Gao Ping to turn into a ghost in a place she couldn't see, so she shouted loudly.

"If you go out, you will lose money, and you might even lose everything. You'd better not go anywhere tonight."

"You're cursing me again? I don't believe you for a second. You should worry about yourself instead of me. If you still haven't remembered your family's phone number by the time I get back, you're the one who's in trouble."

At this moment, Gao Ping was only thinking about using his current luck to go back to the underground casino where he had been losing money and win back all the money he had lost. He didn't care about what Xiao Yanbao said at all.

Just as I stepped into the living room, I suddenly heard Liang Yueling's anxious voice coming from the room.

"Honey, she has a smartwatch on her wrist. Take it away quickly, there might be a GPS tracker in it."
