Chapter 472: Ancient Ritual

He raised his hand and pinched Lin Yilan's face, but that doting smile was extremely dazzling to Xi Lulu.

Huo Juncheng always felt that someone was staring at him with murderous eyes. That feeling made him very uncomfortable. He looked around cautiously, but found nothing.

"But the truth is! I deserve all your kindness!"

Huo Juncheng reached out and rubbed the lovely Lin Yilan, admitting with a doting look, "If I don't love you, no matter how much you do, it will be in vain. I won't be responsible for someone I don't like, so you, little head, should think of something normal. I love you, pamper you, and spoil you because you are my love for you. Nothing else is mixed in."

"Whatever I say, it's right."

"Okay, you're right."

Xi Lulu and Wang Yimo completed the formalities for entering the theater and declared themselves Master Xu's first female apprentice. Xu Ziwen seemed quite fond of this, his only female apprentice, and hadn't been to the milk tea shop for several days.

Lin Yilan could also understand Xu Ziwen's eagerness to love his disciple, so she let him go.

The milk tea shop has always been managed by Xu Ziwen. Now that he is gone, she can only put all the responsibilities on Gao Long.

His injury hasn't healed yet, and he can't go on the mission with them. This is the only way to avoid wasting resources.

Gao Long was not a good kid at all. After staying in the milk tea shop for two days, he invited a bunch of little girls from the neighborhood to come to their milk tea shop to sit when they had nothing to do. Lin Yilan was speechless, but she couldn't say much.

"This man is really fickle! How does he do it? Change one every day?"

Huo Juncheng placed a cup of coffee in front of her. The warm sunlight shone in from the window, illuminating the two of them: "It's just that you haven't met the one you like." When the word "like" was mentioned, Jenny's face suddenly appeared in Huo Juncheng's mind.

It’s been so long... I wonder if Jenny is still alive?

How is she?

"Meeting someone you like is just a temporary novelty. Won't you break up with them in a couple of days and continue looking for something new?" When Lin Yilan went down the mountain, she was lectured by her fellow apprentices one after another. She knew men's hearts very well!

Huo Juncheng took a sip of coffee and analyzed with her what it was like for a man to meet the girl he loved.

Lin Yilan just treated it as brainwashing, and let it go in one ear and out the other, and simply pretended he didn't exist.

How many of the love stories in TV dramas are real in the real world? Moreover, people’s hearts are hidden, so who knows what others are like?

Huo Juncheng left home on the pretext of a company meeting. Before leaving, he told Lin Yilan not to wander around while he was away! "Did you hear me? I'll be worried. And I'll be back soon. I'll go back and finalize a contract and then come back."

"I'm pretty bored too, how about we go together?"

Huo Juncheng was a little jealous: "Are you going to see Yan Xing? You are already someone else's wife, watch your every move! I don't want to be judged by outsiders as having a green grassland on my head."

Lin Yilan played dumb: "What? Mr. Huo, you want to dye your hair green? How can you have such an idea? No, no, if your grandma sees you like this, she'll definitely have a heart attack. Just listen to me, it's fine now. But don't waste your suppressed adolescence on this."

"Okay, listen to my wife's instructions."

Huo Juncheng found a well-tailored suit for himself in front of the floor-length mirror, tidied up his appearance, and took Long Cheng out.

Gao Hu was left alone, his face full of questions: "Boss Huo, what about me?"

"You? Stay home and watch over your idol. Make sure she's okay."

"Okay!" Gao Hu answered loudly, without thinking too much about it.

In fact, the reason Long Cheng was chosen by Huo Juncheng was because Long Cheng was tight-lipped! Unlike Gao Long and Gao Hu, who were so open-mouthed, if they knew something, they would tell Lin Yilan immediately! They wouldn't give him any chance at all!

After Long Cheng followed Huo Juncheng into the car, he glanced at Huo Juncheng and asked, "Mr. Huo, where are we going?"

"Any news about Jenny?" Huo Juncheng sat upright in the back seat, his dark, deep eyes meeting Long Cheng's through the rearview mirror...

Long Cheng shook his head honestly: "No..."

"Keep looking! Notify me immediately if you have any news."

"yes."

Huo Juncheng asked Long Cheng to drive around the city center for two laps to make up an hour before returning, hoping to conceal his purpose.

He looked through the phone numbers in his phone and saw the two rows of English contacts next to each other... He kept hesitating whether to notify them.

After thinking about it again and again, the call was hung up just as it was about to be dialed abroad.

…

An emergency notice on TV dominated all the major TV stations in Haicheng, and a piece of news also popped up on mobile phones at this time!

An ancient tomb on the outskirts of Haicheng was robbed, and the bodies of two young boys and girls, each filled with mercury, were discovered. Two freshly minted male corpses, dressed in modern clothing, were kneeling before the boys and girls, their eyes wide open and in a prostration. Even more bizarre was the fact that no fingerprints were found at the scene, and the only fingerprints found on the two male corpses were each other's.

The police forensic doctor gave a conclusion that was hard to believe: they killed each other...

"What's wrong with these people nowadays? Are their lives too good? They even go to ancient tombs to commit suicide?" Gao Hu was playing with his mobile phone in his room. He couldn't help but sigh when he saw the news... His decibel level was inevitably a little higher, which attracted Lin Yilan's arrival.

Lin Yilan came down from upstairs and whispered, "Don't you think this is more like a ritual?"

"ceremony?"

"Yes, an ancient ritual!" Lin Yilan was certain, and then she pulled out the puzzle she'd found on Huo Juncheng's desk! August 26th... It was exactly the same as the number 826 in the picture! Why would someone die on this day? Someone must have prepared for this day.

She now wanted to go to the scene and see if there was any totem of a mysterious organization on the body to confirm whether it was the same as she guessed.

Immediately afterwards, a call came directly from the Municipal Bureau to Lin Yilan's cell phone: "Ms. Lin Yilan, I remember that you have been studying martial arts in the mountains for more than ten years, right? Could you please come and help us verify whether the footprints here were left by Qinggong?"

"Um?"

Seeing Lin Yilan's doubts, he explained his reason for coming clearly: "Our city bureau has encountered another difficult case. We also found a boxing diagram on the cliff. The victims died in the gap between the cliff and the cliff. Ten in total... If it was just one, it might be an accident, but with ten, we must take this case seriously!"

After hearing this unprecedented amount of information, Lin Yilan got up and rushed over without thinking.
