Shu Wan looked at Lu Chen gratefully and nodded: "I accept."

She knew that Lu Chen had already done a good job; the accident that happened to her on set wasn't caused by anyone on the crew.

If it were someone else, not only would they not receive any compensation, but they might even feel that she was bad luck.

People are different from each other.

"Take good care of your health. There's a role in my next script that's perfect for you. If you trust me, take your sister to Qingfeng Temple, resolve these issues, and then you can focus on filming."

Lu Chen looked at Shu Wan and said, "Shu Wan is very talented and a good actress."

After this incident, he was genuinely worried that Shu Wan would retire from acting.

He didn't know if Shu Wan would believe him, but he had said everything he needed to say.

"Director Lu, thank you so much. I will take my sister with me. You are my benefactor. I... I can accept a smaller paycheck in the future!"

Shu Wan was convinced that Lu Chen had gone to such lengths; she was even willing to kneel down and kowtow to him.

She was very poor and had no money to repay him. The only thing she could do was to take a little less pay for acting.

This was an embarrassing statement, but she was serious.

Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "I'll remember that. When you become famous, you can ask me for a little less pay. Alright, I should go back now. Wang Lan and Zhang Qiao will take care of you. If you need anything, just tell them. During your hospitalization, the crew will reimburse all your expenses."

Shu Wan nodded with tears in her eyes.

After Lu Chen left, Shu Wan looked at Shu Xin and choked up, saying, "Sister, you're saved."

Shuxin shook her head, crying, "I don't care, I just want my sister to be safe."

She doesn't care if she never gets better, as long as her sister gets better.

Moreover, she doesn't want to get treatment anymore; she simply can't bear to go through something like this again.

"Silly boy, your sister cares. You'll get better and live a happy life."

Shu Wan reached out and wiped away Shu Xin's tears. This time, she had a strong intuition that her sister could really get better.

When Shu Wan first encountered that master, she felt something was strange and couldn't believe it. Later, her intuition proved to be correct.

Shu Xin pressed her face against Shu Wan's palm and stopped speaking.

Shu Wan gently patted Shu Xin's back to comfort her.

Wang Lan and Zhang Qiao, watching this scene from the doorway, were both moved to tears and tacitly refrained from going in to disturb them.

...

When the Special Operations Department learned that Shu Wan had woken up, they also came over.

Seeing that Shu Wan was not unusual, he went back in a flustered state.

Three days later, the people of the Ancient Jade Sect gradually woke up.

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yuan immediately went to check it out.

Strangely, the first person to wake up was filled with fear. He grabbed Wang Guoqiang's hand and excitedly said, "I want to turn myself in!"

He spilled everything he had done, like beans spilling out.

Gu Yuzong's methods of profiting are still astonishing.

There's nothing the Ancient Jade Sect can't do, only things they haven't thought of.

They've done all sorts of forbidden techniques, like borrowing lifespan or altering fate.

Wang Guoqiang wiped the sweat from his face after hearing this; he knew he was doomed.

"Who trapped you in the Nightmare Array?"

Wang Guoqiang hurriedly asked.

Liu Yuan's heart tightened.

"Lock me up, lock me up..."

The man seemed not to hear Wang Guoqiang's words, and just kept praying.

At this point, going to jail is what they crave most.

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him, Wang Guoqiang had the man taken away.

The others woke up one after another, and they also clamored to turn themselves in.

Wang Guoqiang was at his wit's end.

The identities revealed by these people are quite extraordinary.

When Zhenhui woke up, he was pale. Looking at the people around him, he said with a look of despair, "I want to confess, I want to turn myself in..."

Wang Guoqiang really wanted to plug his ears. What was going on? Were all these people crazy?

I thought I was going to make a great contribution, but now it seems like I'm going to be in big trouble.

Wang Guoqiang glanced over and immediately fixed his gaze on Liu Yuan, saying, "Liu Yuan, you take notes, I'll go report."

Zhen Hui is the second elder of the Ancient Jade Sect.

Wang Guoqiang was afraid that the news he would hear would be too much for him to handle.

Liu Yuan is very enthusiastic, so let him come!

The others all looked away.

Liu Yuan knew what this meant, and instead of backing down, he stepped forward.

Zhen Hui smiled strangely and muttered to himself, "Heh, it really isn't the Nightmare Array after all. There have been new changes."

"Elder Zhenhui, this is not your nightmare; you have already awakened."

Someone heard Zhenhui talking to himself and immediately said something.

Looking at Zhen Hui, Liu Yuan roughly understood why the people of the Ancient Jade Sect were all acting so strangely upon waking up; it turned out they were treating reality as a nightmare.

Will Zhen Hui realize this is reality because of this reminder?

Liu Yuan looked at Zhen Hui, who was clearly not awake.

Seeing that Liu Yuan wanted to take notes, the others made excuses and left.

You're kidding, even the bureau chief wouldn't dare listen, how could they?

Soon, only Liu Yuan remained in the room.

Liu Yuan remained calm: "Elder Zhenhui, just say what you want to confess."

Zhen Hui stared at Liu Yuan and slowly opened his mouth to speak.

"The Changhua Sect nourishes the spirit tree with blood for people to eat..."

"Tianmen Mountain is raising a thousand-year-old demon, which it releases from time to time to do evil and harm people, thereby reaping fame and fortune..."

As Zhenhui spoke, he burst into wild laughter.

Liu Yuan felt the hairs on his body stand on end.

The two sects that Zhen Hui mentioned are both major sects in the country, and they are both places where incense is very popular.

They were the cream of the crop in the Xuanmen sect, yet they actually...

No wonder Wang Guoqiang dared not listen, because he was afraid that Zhen Hui would wake up.

After Zhen Hui finished speaking, she stared intently at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuan closed his notebook and said, "Our Special Affairs Department will investigate these matters thoroughly. We will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a bad person go unpunished. Please come with us."

Before this, people from the Ancient Jade Sect were arrested one by one.

Zhenhui's expression seemed to show pain and resentment, but she did not offer any resistance.

"This is really weird. I don't think we can handle it. Liu Yuan, just organize your report and leave it at that."

Seeing Liu Yuan's solemn expression, Wang Guoqiang knew that he must have heard some terrible news.

Liu Yuan is still young, but since becoming the team leader, he has aged at a rate that's like flying.

Sometimes, it's good to be a little more tactful. I hope he can understand my hints.

"Director Wang, do you still remember the responsibilities of our Special Operations Department?"

Liu Yuan looked at Wang Guoqiang. They had no access to the real experts in the Special Affairs Department; they only dealt with superficial matters.

But isn't the purpose of everyone who joins the Special Operations Department to eliminate evil that harms the people?

This evil can be any kind of evil, whether it's a demon, a ghost, or a member of the mystical sect.

Now that he knows, how could he possibly turn a deaf ear?

All he could risk was his own life.

Wang Guoqiang looked at Liu Yuan with complicated emotions, and finally sighed, "You're still young."
