Wen Li stood protectively behind Huo Yinghuai, lowered her eyelashes, and gently tugged at the corners of her mouth, speaking slowly and deliberately: "Don't make excuses for your ambition. All tragedies stem from your jealousy and ambition. Don't use Huo Yinghuai as a shield. We're not going to make an agreement!"

Wen Li snorted coldly.

Even though she didn't know much about the Huo family, as far as she knew, if Old Master Huo really wanted Huo Yunsheng to be the heir of the Huo family, he certainly wouldn't give him up just because of a divination.

It must be that Old Master Huo suddenly realized something, which is why he let Huo Yinghuai's father inherit the company.

Wen Li was too lazy to calculate the cause and effect. In short, the murder-for-hire was established. She would investigate later whether Huo Yinghuai's parents' deaths were related to Huo Yunsheng.

Wen Li thought for a moment, then turned her head and said, "Helian Zhao, hurry up and arrest them!"

Perhaps Wen Li's words struck a chord with Huo Yunsheng, because when he was arrested, Huo Yunsheng did not struggle at all.

Just as he brushed past Huo Yinghuai, Huo Yunsheng suddenly said, "Huo Yinghuai, I will haunt you even as a ghost. You will soon be joining me."

As he spoke, Huo Yunsheng suddenly laughed.

Wen Li couldn't stand it anymore and kicked him directly.

Huo Yunsheng staggered from the kick, his gaze turning cold as he looked at Wen Li: "I know you have some mystical abilities. Since you can see that I'm raising a ghost, you must also know that the ghost has drained Huo Yinghuai's luck. You can save him for a while, but can you save him for a lifetime?"

"At that time, Huo Yinghuai will die an accident, just like his parents!"

Huo Yunsheng thought that even if he wasn't afraid, he would at least be surprised, but after looking at him for a long time, Huo Yinghuai's face remained calm and composed, showing no sign of panic.

Huo Yunsheng frowned.

He hated Huo Yinghuai for always being nonchalant no matter what happened.

"Don't worry." Wen Li stood behind Huo Yunsheng, unable to see the expression in his eyes, and said calmly, "I saw through your little tricks on the first day. I said that Huo Yinghuai will not only not die, but will live to be a hundred years old. All the luck you have lost will come back to you, and you will receive your retribution."

A life for a life; the dignity of the law cannot be trampled upon.

Huo Yunsheng was taken away, and Wen Li and Huo Yinghuai also got into the police car.

In the car, Wen Li sat in the back seat and called her anxious father at home.

Wen Li didn't want Wen Tingsong to worry, so she would always tell him her itinerary whenever she went out. Wen Tingsong couldn't help but worry when he saw that Wen Li hadn't returned so late today.

The family was not short of money, and Wen Tingsong did not want his daughter to catch ghosts, but he couldn't resist her insistence.

So every day, I waited anxiously for Wen Li to come home.

After comforting Wen Tingsong on the phone, Wen Li continued, "Dad, I got home too late today. I'm planning to stay at Huo Yinghuai's place. I'll give you an address later, and you can have someone bring my schoolbag over. I'll go straight to school tomorrow."

Having not rested all day, Wen Li wished she could just collapse onto the bed.

But it's clear the problem isn't solved, and I definitely won't be able to sleep tonight.

Wen Tingsong agreed.

Wen Li hung up the phone, yawned, and felt her eyelids were incredibly heavy.

Upon arriving at the police station, Wen Li and Huo Yinghuai sat together to give their statements, a process Wen Li was already quite familiar with.

Huo Yunsheng knew he was doomed, so there was no need to hide anything. He confessed everything he had done.

Because of his resentment, he killed his own brother and aunt. He was jealous that his nephew was more outstanding than him, so he used Siamese ghost-raising techniques to quickly trick a woman into marrying him. When she was pregnant and about to give birth, he cut off her abdomen while she was still alive, and gouged out her eyes, cut off her ears, and chopped off her feet before the child died.

After five or six years of careful nurturing, Huo Yinghuai's luck was declining. Who knew that Huo Yinghuai would be so lucky and meet the highly skilled Wen Li!

Even after confessing everything, Huo Yunsheng still didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

He asked to see Huo Yinghuai again, but Huo refused outright.

Wen Li, however, seemed to remember something and approached Helian Zhao, saying, "Can I ask him a few questions?"

Wen Li was also a semi-public official. Although it did not conform to the procedure, Helian Zhao still nodded and led Wen Li into the interrogation room.

When Huo Yunsheng heard the door open, he thought it was Huo Yinghuai, but when he looked up, he saw Wen Li instead.

He frowned: "Where is Huo Yinghuai?"

Wen Li looked at Huo Yunsheng sitting in the center of the gray wall. His suit was disheveled, and he was full of dejection. The golden light that had been there before had completely disappeared, and even the little ghost behind him had turned transparent. It was certain that it would be destroyed tonight.

This brat has a life on his hands; she can't save him.

"Huo Yinghuai doesn't want to see you." Wen Li withdrew her gaze and asked directly, "You don't know metaphysics, and the Siamese ghost-raising technique is extremely complex. Who is helping you?"

Uncle Huo and Huo Yunsheng, one locks up ghosts and the other raises ghosts. The methods they use are extremely cruel and complicated, which is something that normal Taoist priests could never do or do.

Huo Yunsheng stared into Wen Li's eyes and suddenly laughed out loud: "Money can make the devil turn the millstone. People's hearts are so complicated. They will do anything and agree to anything for money. If I had known there was someone like you, I would have gone to find Master Fang instead of you."

Master Fang?

Wen Li quickly seized on the key words: "Where is this Master Fang from, and how can we contact him?"

Huo Yunsheng: "I don't know."

Wen Li thought Huo Yunsheng didn't want to talk about it, but he quickly explained, "There's no need to hide it from you now. Whether it's the boss or me, it was Master Fang who helped us. But it wasn't us who found him; it was him who found us."

Master Fang appeared and disappeared without a trace; he vanished after finishing his business with them.

Huo Yunsheng did investigate Master Fang, but to no avail.

Wen Li left the interrogation room with a frown on her face.

Huo Yunsheng has been taken away and detained by the police. He will be taken to identify the murder scene and search for the victim's body the next day.

Huo Yinghuai's car broke down on the highway, but fortunately, transportation was convenient, and he hailed a taxi.

Seeing that Wen Li was deep in thought the whole way, Huo Yinghuai asked, "Did he say something to you?"

Wen Li snapped out of her daze and shook her head: "It's nothing."

After speaking, Wen Li observed Huo Yinghuai's expression. Despite such a big incident, Huo Yinghuai's emotions seemed to remain unchanged.

"Are you alright?" Wen Li asked uncertainly.

It's unacceptable for any normal person to believe that their own uncle is the murderer of their parents, and that he even wanted to kill them after killing their parents.

"It's alright, I guessed some of it from the beginning." Huo Yinghuai said calmly, "Now that the truth has come out, my parents can rest in peace."

Wen Li heard Huo Yinghuai say this, but she noticed that his hands were still tightly clenched.

Lowering her eyes, Wen Li's slightly cold hand suddenly covered Huo Yinghuai's large hand.

Huo Yinghuai's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Wen Li with surprise and complicated expression.

However, Wen Li's eyes remained untouched by the dust of the past, and she softly comforted him, "It's all in the past."

Huo Yinghuai gazed at Wen Li, and he saw that there seemed to be thousands of stars twinkling in Wen Li's dark eyes.
