Chapter 241 True Face

"Mr. Yang, you really have a bad memory."

Xiao Yu stood up, exuding a ghostly aura. Yang Hui felt the surrounding air grow even colder and couldn't help but shiver.

"I... I don't know who you are or what you need. Just tell me. I have money, lots of money. You can have as much money as you want. I'll burn money, houses, and women for you, anything is fine."

Yang Hui's voice trembled slightly.

"Heh, you're so generous now, is it because paper money and paper houses aren't worth much? Back then, you plagiarized my script which was only worth tens of thousands of yuan without paying a cent, and now you're so generous?"

“You are—” Yang Hui squinted at Xiao Yu.

"Hehe, I am the screenwriter of 'Ghost Fate'. Back then, if you hadn't plagiarized my script and broken my bones, would I have been driven to my death by you? Now, I've come to take my life, hehe."

Yang Hui shuddered, "You're that...that...!"

"Xiao Yu".

"Mr. Xiao, I'm so sorry, I thought we had already paid here, so I thought you were here to cause trouble."

Xiao Yu was furious. "I've already paid, why should I ask for more money? Do you have any transfer records? Was the money transferred to my account? Did you check? You're still shirking responsibility!"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu became very angry again. With a wave of her hand, an invisible force slammed Yang Hui hard against the wall.

Yang Hui wiped the blood from her forehead and begged for mercy through tears, "Please let me go, I beg you, I'll do anything if you let me go."

"Uh, then I'll make you die. How about you become my ghost wife after you die?" Xiao Yu said with a sinister smile.

Yang Hui was trembling all over, crying, "I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

Xiao Yu slapped her twice more, "You can't even do this, and you expect me to let you go! I'll cling to you forever, I'll follow you wherever you go, and I'll even sleep in the same bed with you every night—"

Yang Hui was on the verge of collapse. "Tell me your conditions, and I'll do them all. But you have to leave me and not stay with me."

Xiao Yu grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up. "It seems we can't reach an agreement on the terms."

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaoluo and Qingqiu witnessed everything that happened. Yu Xiaoluo played with the blood moon pendant in her hand, saying, "Uh, this treasure is pretty good, quite beautiful."

"Keep it if you like."

"This doesn't seem right. Stealing other people's things isn't a good thing."

"Then—should we send it back?"

"Sigh, although I'm a little reluctant, I still have to return what belongs to others."

As she spoke, Yu Xiaoluo took out a piece of jade from her body. This piece of jade was also of excellent quality, and its material was no worse than that of the mutton fat white jade. It was just pure in color and had no blood streaks.

With a flick of her finger, strands of blood began to float out from the blood jade, then drifted towards another piece of jade in the direction Yu Xiaoluo was pointing.

Before long, the blood jade turned into a very ordinary piece of pure jade, while the pure jade in Yu Xiaoluo's hand turned into blood jade.

She chuckled and tossed the necklace to Xiao Hei. "Xiao Hei, give it back. We can't take a single needle or thread from someone else, okay? We're not that kind of person, right?"

Xiao Hei nodded in agreement, but inwardly he thought, "You didn't take a single needle or thread from them, but you took their souls."

It carried the necklace in its mouth and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Before long, he appeared in Yang Hui's room.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to strangle Yang Hui, a black cat suddenly appeared, carrying a necklace in its mouth. Xiao Yu shuddered at the sight of the necklace and instinctively let go of her hand, causing Yang Hui to fall to the ground with a thud.

Because he was injured by the Blood Moon Necklace every time he tried to harm Yang Hui, he dared not approach her again after being injured several times. He only dared to touch her after the necklace was gone.

Now the necklace is back. What does this mean?

Xiao Hei flicked the necklace, and it landed perfectly around Yang Hui's neck. Xiao Yu took a few steps back, afraid of touching the necklace, since being hurt by a necklace was not a pleasant experience.

Yang Hui was overjoyed to find the necklace back on her neck without looking closely.

She knew how powerful the necklace was, and she knew what its return meant to her.

She giggled as she struggled to her feet, then looked at Xiao Yu with a ferocious grin. Although her whole body ached, blood streamed from her forehead, and there were deep marks on her neck, it didn't stop her from being very happy.

"You poor wretch, you're out of options now, aren't you? Let's see what you can do to me now." Yang Hui walked towards Xiao Yu step by step, while Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with fear.

"Let me tell you, none of the films our company makes are bought with money. They're all submitted by you idiots. I'll have the editor tell you that you've passed the first review, but you need the full manuscript for the final review. Once we get the full manuscript, we'll say, 'This is too different from what we want, it didn't pass the final review.'"

"Hahaha, what can you do to me? Not only that, we also withhold money from the director, actors, and crew. We withhold money for all sorts of reasons. If anyone doesn't want to work anymore, we just replace them. Hehe, poor guys from 'Ghost Fate' have such bad luck. They've all been killed by you. They're really unlucky. But it did save me a lot of money. I should thank you, screenwriter Xiao."

After saying that, she giggled again.

Xiao Yu was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.

But the thought that he might not have the chance to harm this woman again made him grit his teeth and slap her across the face.

The slap landed squarely on Yang Hui's face, making a crisp sound.

This not only surprised Yang Hui, but also Xiao Yu herself.

"Impossible! Didn't she put the jade pendant back on? How come?" He slapped her again, sending Yang Hui flying.

Yang Hui covered her face and muttered to herself, "Impossible, impossible, how could this be? I'm wearing the Blood Moon Jade Pendant."

She quickly pulled out the jade pendant from her neck, her face turning deathly pale. Yes, it was still the same jade pendant, but where were the red blood streaks? They were gone!

According to my ancestors, the reason why Blood Moon Jade can ward off evil spirits and bring good fortune is because of the blood inside, which is pure blood of the highest yang quality. When combined with mutton fat jade, it has a very powerful effect in warding off evil spirits.

Now, those blood streaks are gone! Gone!

Yang Hui looked around and, sure enough, it was still unusually quiet. If the jade was effective, she would have already escaped the confined space and wouldn't be unable to hear any sound.

She collapsed to the ground, muttering weakly, "How could this happen, how could this happen—it's over, everything is over—"
