Ma Hehua was like a venomous snake; the fierceness in her eyes seemed capable of devouring everything.

She instantly changed her target, locking onto Pan Xiaomo, who was trying to escape.

She moved with lightning speed, suddenly reaching out with one hand and precisely grabbing Pan Xiaomo's hair.

The hair in her hand was like a lifeline; she yanked it hard, and Pan Xiaomo lost her balance.

Ma Hehua took the opportunity to push Pan Xiaomo to the ground, and her fists rained down like raindrops, each one carrying great force, hitting Pan Xiaomo's body with a dull thud.

Feifei watched from the side, her lips twitching slightly in pain, her heart filled with shock.

Watching Ma Hehua's almost frenzied behavior, she clicked her tongue in amazement: "This woman is too ruthless, so vicious."

Feifei subconsciously touched her newly done breasts, and couldn't help but worry that this beating might force her to have them corrected again.

Looking at Ma Hehua's face again, I felt a pang of jealousy. It was obvious that she had undergone surgery, especially her nose and mouth.

Feifei's nose, which she had worked on, seemed crooked and looked particularly grotesque at that moment, causing Feifei to feel a sense of despair. She didn't dare to lift her head at all.

"Ah... Sister Feifei, help me! Help me, Brother Guan, quick, pull this crazy woman away."

Pan Xiaomo's cries echoed in the air, her voice filled with fear and despair.

The man who had been slapped by Ma Hehua and was kneeling to the side, covering his face, was unable to get up for a long time.

The slap seemed to carry the power of lightning. The man's body was still convulsing uncontrollably, as if his soul had been ripped out. His eyes were filled with confusion and terror. The scene was like a nightmare, chaotic and cruel.

"Stop it right now."

A clear, cool, and magnetic voice pierced through the chaotic noise like a sharp arrow, making the air seem to freeze.

All eyes turned to the source of the sound, and a tall, upright man came into view.

Ma Hehua merely glanced up slightly, her eyes filled with disdain, but her hands did not stop moving at all, still raining down on Pan Xiaomo, each blow carrying her lingering anger.

Pan Xiaomo's cries were already hoarse, and she seemed so helpless under this violence.

"Madam, could you please do me a favor?"

The man walked slowly toward Ma Hehua, each step steady and powerful, his words polite, attempting to quell the sudden storm.

How much is your pride worth?

Ma Hehua didn't even raise her head, uttering these provocative words while maintaining the same force in her hands.

The man was visibly taken aback, seemingly not expecting such a response. He instinctively blurted out, "500,000."

"make a deal."

Ma Hehua stopped immediately, as if she had heard the most beautiful sound in the world.

A smile instantly bloomed on her face, a smile that stood out starkly against her otherwise fierce and sinister expression.

Then, she came to Ma Linghua like a cheerful little bird and asked in a low voice, "Mom, what do you think?" Her expression was like that of a child waiting for praise.

This sudden turn of events left everyone present speechless, their jaws practically dropping to the floor.

Fang Hang stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief, and he couldn't come to his senses for a long time.

He then subconsciously looked up at Li Xin, only to see Li Xin nod slightly, his face full of agreement, as if it were all perfectly reasonable.

Fang Hang suddenly felt a lump in his throat, utterly speechless.

"500,000 is fine. We can go to the Forbidden City tonight, catch a few evil spirits, and send them to her house. We still have to be patient when necessary."

Although Ma Linghua's voice was soft, it clearly reached the ears of the people present.

The people around him were speechless, looking at Pan Xiaomo with pitiful expressions, thinking he should just accept his bad luck!

These people might be mentally ill. Listen to what they're saying? Going to the Forbidden City to catch ghosts?

They only believe in science.

Feifei's carefully prepared banquet has now been completely ruined.

The once lively atmosphere had vanished, and the guests who had come to the banquet looked at each other in bewilderment, and then left in dissatisfaction and confusion.

Pan Xiaomo collapsed to the ground, her face bruised and swollen. Her once beautiful red dress was now tattered and torn, like a piece of rag that had been carelessly discarded. She looked utterly pathetic.

"Come on! Cash or WeChat transfer? Alipay is also fine."

Ma Hehua was already impatient, her eyes gleaming with greed as she eagerly rubbed her hands together.

The man frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes, but he still took out his phone, skillfully opened Alipay, and scanned Ma Hehua's face with a swift and decisive motion.

Throughout the entire process, the three members of the Ma family keenly caught the fleeting malice in his eyes—an anger and resentment born of being schemed against, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.

This hint of malice cast a mysterious and dangerous shadow over the already complex situation, as if an even greater storm was brewing in the dark.

"Give me a hand, Xiao Xin."

Ma Hehua shouted in a flurry of activity; she had come in a hurry and her stomach had been growling for a while.

Ignoring the strange looks from those around her, she quickly pulled a plastic bag from the bag she was carrying.

The plastic bag was crumpled, but in her eyes it was like a treasure.

Like a hungry predator who has spotted its prey, she began scavenging for food at the banquet, stuffing anything edible into plastic bags.

The movements were very efficient, and in no time, the plastic bag was filled to the brim.

People around her looked at her with cracked faces and disgusted expressions, but Ma Hehua didn't care at all.

Fang Hang was amazed again. No wonder Li Xin was so stingy; it seemed to be hereditary.

The man's face turned green when he saw that Ma Hehua had packed several large bags. "Pah! Is this some kind of reincarnation of a starving ghost?"

"Mother, arrange a ghost for that boy later, a philandering ghost, please."

Ma Hehua wore a twisted smile.

Li Zhongguo acted as if he were invisible the whole time, and now he had the food his daughter had packed, along with some abalone and shark fin, in his hands. He felt like he had made a profit.

It's not that his family can't afford to eat, it's just that they love to eat for free. There's nothing they can do about it; freebies are really tempting!

Sure enough, following his wife was a promising career path.

"Mother, when will we go catch it?"

Ma Hehua is quick to avenge any wrongs she has, and now she can't help but want to find evil spirits and vengeful ghosts.

"What's the rush? The devils at midnight are the most formidable. Let's eat these delicacies first, then we'll go catch them."

Ma Linghua spoke calmly.

"Grandma, I want to go too."

Li Xin felt a surge of excitement; he wanted to broaden his horizons.

"Women should handle things elsewhere, men. It's getting late, let's hurry back to our dorms!"

Hmph! We won't keep him for dinner. He's nothing, a worthless piece of trash. Does he deserve to witness the Ma family's secret techniques? Even his father didn't get that treatment!
