She forced herself to continue chanting the spell, her voice trembling and almost inaudible.

The man in the raincoat was getting closer and closer, and she could clearly see his distorted expression, which seemed to be pain and anger.

Just as the man was about to rush to her, the flames suddenly shot up high with a bang, and the red envelope turned into ashes in an instant.

The man in the raincoat let out a shrill scream, suddenly covered his heart with his hands, staggered back a few steps, turned around and disappeared into the night.

Tao Xiaoxiao stood there, her legs weak and she could hardly stand.

She forced herself to calm down and ran home without looking back as Jiang Muyao instructed.

Along the way, she always felt that there were footsteps behind her, but she kept Jiang Muyao's words in her heart and never looked back.

The next morning, Tao Xiaoxiao came to the hotel where Jiang Muyao was staying with dark circles under her eyes.

She spoke to Jiang Muyao in a trembling voice: "Yesterday, as soon as the fire was lit, a strong wind started to blow, and suddenly a man in a raincoat rushed towards me from across the street..."

"I thought his face was blue-gray... He was staring at the red envelope..."

Jiang Muyao took her hand and felt her pulse, pressing her index finger on the pulsating vein: "The other party has been attacked back."

She lifted Tao Xiaoxiao's collar and saw that the red mark on her neck had faded to light pink.

"Go to the market now and buy a live crucian carp. Release the fish into the moat at noon..."

"Is there any particular reason for this?" Tao Xiaoxiao asked in confusion.

"To borrow a life, one must cross the water. To remove the curse, one must also cross the water."

Jiang Muyao took out a piece of talisman paper folded into a triangle and put it into her hand.

"When releasing the fish, press the talisman paper between its gills. If the fish sinks and then floats up again, the matter is settled."

Tao Xiaoxiao nodded, turned and left the hotel.

At noon, the wind in the moat was very strong.

Tao Xiaoxiao squatted by the river, holding the lively crucian carp in her hands. She stuffed the talisman paper into the fish's gills as Jiang Muyao requested.

He whispered: "Everyone go back to your own place, I will not turn back...Everyone go back to your own place, I will not turn back..."

The moment the crucian carp entered the water, the cinnabar patterns on the talisman paper melted away.

The fish's body trembled violently and sank to the bottom of the water.

Tao Xiaoxiao held her breath, staring intently at the water surface, muttering to herself, "Float up... float up..."

Finally, five seconds later, Yu suddenly floated up on his belly, and was swept away by the current...

She let out a long breath and sat down on the ground.

At this moment, the phone suddenly rang. It was a local news:

[Man dies suddenly in rental apartment in the early morning, suspected of having a heart attack...]

Tao Xiaoxiao could barely hold the phone. She had an inexplicable feeling that this man was the man in the raincoat from yesterday...

She quickly sent a message to Jiang Muyao: "The fish has surfaced, and there's a piece of news... Is it him?"

Jiang Muyao quickly replied: "It's him. You can take off the amulet now. The red mark on your neck has disappeared."

On the other side, Pei Haoyu sat on the bed in the hotel, crunching an apple. He spoke curiously:

"Sister-in-law, is that trick for buying crucian carp real? I'll write it down in my notebook later."

Jiang Muyao said calmly, "Someone has to personally settle the cause and effect."

"When a living person is in debt with a yin debt, he will not feel at ease until he sees the creditor disappear with his own eyes."

--

Pei Haoyu adjusted the angle of the phone stand and carefully checked the lighting to ensure that Jiang Muyao's face appeared soft and clear in front of the camera.

He servilely brought a plate of cut fruit, placed the fruit tea in her hands, and said with a grin, "Sister-in-law, shall we start the show?"

Jiang Muyao was helpless. She had just watched him busying around, so she nodded.

As soon as she turned on the live broadcast button, tens of thousands of people immediately flocked to the live broadcast room, and comments and gifts were quickly posted:

(Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie, how is Mr. Li's search for his daughter going? Is Mr. Li's daughter safe?)

(Believe it or not? I couldn't sleep yesterday because I was so worried about Mr. Li's daughter.)

(Sister, me too...)

Jiang Muyao's expression remained unchanged, and her tone was calm: "Don't worry, Mr. Li's daughter is safe. The police should issue a notice soon, and the subsequent video will be edited and posted online.

We haven't returned to City A yet. We're at the hotel today, doing a live broadcast to tell fortunes."

(Fortune telling, fortune telling! I’ve been waiting for a long time!)

(Jiang Jie, please send out the lucky bags quickly, I want to be the first to grab them!)

(Please help me win the lucky bag. I've been so unlucky lately. I'd like Sister Jiang to do some fortune-telling.)

Jiang Muyao was about to distribute lucky bags when the live broadcast room was suddenly flooded with a series of spaceship special effects.

(Power Bank) * Spaceship 100. It instantly took the top spot on the list.

(It’s this rich man again!)

(The power bank boss is back to dominate the charts!)

(The boss doesn't talk, just gives gifts, so willful!)

Jiang Muyao glanced at the ID, and without even a flicker of her smile, she turned off the gift effects.

At the same time, at Pei Group in City A, Pei Linyuan was sitting in his office chair, staring at his mobile phone screen without blinking.

His fingers tapped unconsciously on the armrest of the sofa, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Everything is done, why don't you come back..." He muttered in a low voice, with a hint of dissatisfaction and longing in his tone that he was not aware of.

He found himself paying more and more attention to Jiang Muyao, and even clicked in as soon as she started broadcasting. This abnormal behavior made him feel a little awkward, but he couldn't help but stare at the woman on the screen.

When did it start? When he realized she wasn't 'Jiang Muyao'? Or when he discovered her abilities? Or when she saved his family time and time again?
