The old woman gritted her teeth, unwilling to accept defeat at the hands of an ordinary person.
She glanced at the bell that Ming Zhuo had slashed and dropped to the ground; her trump card was still inside...
The old woman bit her tongue, smeared a little blood onto her face, and muttered incantations.
Worried that she would release poisonous snakes to bite people again, Gu Xu stepped forward to block Ming Zhuo.
The sound of shoes stepping on the bells instantly silenced anything stirring inside.
The old woman stared at him in disbelief, her voice filled with resentment and bitterness. "You! Who are you?"
Gu Xu: "Me? Just an ordinary businessman."
He didn't quite understand why the other person resented him so much, since he hadn't done anything wrong.
But then he thought again, hating himself was fine too. He didn't mind attracting hatred, which would make Mingzhuo relatively safer.
Seeing the old woman's expression of near-death anger, Mingzhuo couldn't help but laugh out loud.
There was something wrong with the bells in the yard. They rang when I entered, but when Gu Xu entered, they didn't move at all.
The creature inside was clearly terrified of Gu Xu, just like the silver-ringed snake, and dared not warn him at all costs.
He broke the bell formation himself, but he didn't underestimate what was inside, since there were wisps of yin energy emanating from it, so he deliberately left a flaw.
The old woman thought she had a killer move up her sleeve, but Gu Xu broke it with just one kick.
However, that thing couldn't be kept. Mingzhuo produced several talismans to ward off evil spirits and suppress malevolent forces. Flames suddenly ignited, enveloping the bell and the snake, leaving only fine ashes on the ground.
The old woman knew that all was lost, so she closed her eyes.
"Yes, this is it!" The door was suddenly kicked open, and Zhong Yufei walked in with several police officers.
Earlier, Gu Xu and Ming Zhuo entered the yard, but he found that he couldn't break open the gate no matter what he did. Worried that something might have happened to them, he quickly called the police.
When the police heard that a minor girl had fallen into a den of iniquity, they rushed to the scene, only to be stunned when they entered the courtyard.
There were six or seven young men lying in the courtyard, and an old woman covered in blood.
The only two people standing seemed to be the victims described by the person who called the police...
This victim doesn't seem like a victim; he seems more like a criminal suspect.
Zhong Yufei also looked at Gu Xu with admiration. She hadn't expected that Mr. Gu, who looked so refined and elegant, was such a good fighter.
Gu Xu: "..."
How should I explain this? It was all Mingzhuo's doing; I didn't do anything myself.
"Is this old man alright?" He was covered in blood and looked quite pitiful. A policeman walked over.
“She’s the culprit. She just released a poisonous snake to bite me.” Mingzhuo quickly reminded her, “She’s fine, she won’t die. You can poke her with a stick if you don’t believe me.”
Several police officers: "..."
Little girl, aren't you going a bit too far?
The old woman was furious and was about to say something when Mingzhuo quietly walked over and kicked her unconscious.
As a top student from Yunwu University, Zhong Yufei wasn't the type to talk nonsense in the eyes of the police. The lead officer coughed lightly and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Mingzhuo blinked. "I saw a lot of flowers planted in this yard, so I wanted to come in and take a look. These people were very welcoming at first, but after I told them a story, they turned on me and tried to hit me."
There were sticks and even fruit knives scattered around the youths lying on the ground.
"What story did you tell?" the policeman asked.
Mingzhuo looked bewildered: "I said, there's a saying in Japan that cherry blossoms are beautiful because there are bones buried under the trees."
The few young people who had already woken up: "..."
Nonsense! This is completely fabricated; this person is blatantly lying!
The police officers took it seriously: "Did they start attacking you because you said that?"
Could there be corpses buried beneath the flowerbed? A chill ran down everyone's spine as they looked at the brightly blooming flowers.
“That’s not true! We are all law-abiding citizens. It was these two people who suddenly barged in and caused trouble, which is why we resisted!” someone said urgently.
Although they were scoundrels, they knew that there was a fundamental difference between killing and using puppetry.
Those girls can easily absolve themselves of responsibility by claiming that the other party was love-struck, but the situation changes when someone dies.
Gu Xu suddenly said, "Whether it is or not, we'll find out by digging up the flower bed and taking a look."
Several young people from the community did not believe that the houses here were old houses, that the owners had gone abroad, and that the houses had been in disrepair for many years and were almost collapsing.
They rented the house at a low price, renovated it, and managed to find a place to stay in the city.
They lived there for many years. A couple of years ago, Gao Hongguang found Granny Miao in a dilapidated alley and brought her back. Gradually, the courtyard was filled with flowers.
Grandma Miao was an elderly woman with mobility issues. The group of them had cleaned up the soil in the flower bed. How could she not know if there were any remains underneath?
Besides, who would bury a corpse in their yard and then live peacefully with it?
The three police officers who arrived were skeptical as they dug in the soil with shovels, but after digging a dozen times, they almost fainted from fright.
They actually dug out a piece of rotting human tissue.
At the same time, the stench of decay filled the courtyard, and in an instant, the beautiful little courtyard, once adorned with flowers, became eerie and gloomy, like a living hell.
After Gao Hongguang slowly woke up, he remained silent. Ming Zhuo patted him lightly on the shoulder, and he suddenly realized that he could move and speak again.
"I advise you to confess your crimes to the police." Mingzhuo left these words behind, then went over and knocked the old woman, who was just about to wake up, unconscious again.
