But some marks cannot be washed away.
She parted the grass in front of her, and there were ashes of talisman paper left on the ground. This was where that person had performed the ritual.
Li Wenhe gradually realized that the person had not only sent a strange doll, but had also come to his house to scout it out!
A chill ran through him instantly.
"See? They've come knocking on our door. Next time we take action, we might not have to be so roundabout."
Ming Zhuo clicked his tongue and stood up. "The traces here have been cleaned up. Let's go check the package."
The person who performed the ritual outside the villa that night must have suffered a backlash, at least spitting out blood, but there wasn't a trace of blood on the ground, which shows that the other party was very cautious.
However, no matter how careful you are, there will always be a loophole.
The outer packaging of the express delivery got wet in the rain, but it also sealed off the lingering smell on the cardboard box.
Mingzhuo checked it out, and then, following the aura, lit the guiding talisman.
The talisman burned to ashes, gradually forming the shape of a road.
Mingzhuo: "Let's go, take the driver, we're going to storm their door and teach them a lesson!"
But as soon as she stepped out of the Li family villa, she saw the pink Rolls-Royce Phantom parked on the side of the road.
Ah Hu stood respectfully by the car. "Third Miss, where are you going? Ah Hu will take you there."
Mingzhuo sighed inwardly, realizing that he couldn't get rid of him this time.
That day, she asked Ah Hu to take her to the hospital, then ran to Dongxu City and ended up staying in the hospital, making Ah Hu feel extremely guilty these past two days.
He felt he had not fulfilled his responsibility to protect the third young lady.
Today, Mingzhuo tentatively suggested going to a classmate's house to play, and her family all agreed. Ruan Mingying even reflected on whether she was keeping too close a liking for her, making her feel restricted and pressured.
Ah Hu was very upset. If the Third Miss wanted to go out, he could have been her driver! He could have dropped her off whenever she wanted, been available whenever she called, and disappeared automatically when necessary, ensuring that he wouldn't spoil her fun.
But it's too worrying not to let him come along. What if someone bullies the Third Miss?
Mingzhuo thought for a moment and said, "Alright, then I'll trouble you to take us to Fontaine Road."
Ah Hu immediately perked up. He drove fast and steadily, and when they arrived at their destination, he didn't hesitate and said, "Third Miss, I'll find a place to sit nearby. If you've had your fill of sightseeing, just give me a call and I'll come pick you up right away!"
Mingzhuo nodded, then watched the pink Rolls-Royce Phantom disappear at the end of the road.
Li Wenhe looked up and glanced at the street scene in front of him. "Right here?"
The historic and cultural district of Fontainebleau is one of the city's most famous tourist attractions.
Located near an ancient transportation hub, this area boasted a thriving river transport system and flourished throughout history. Many of the ancient buildings here are remarkably well-preserved, and the bluestone paths beneath your feet can even be traced back several hundred years.
Even on a Monday night, the streets were packed with tourists.
If it weren't for Mingzhuo's guiding talisman, he would never have imagined that someone was secretly hiding here to frame him.
“That guy is here now, but this shouldn’t be his hideout,” Mingzhuo said. “But it doesn’t matter, we’re here to beat him up, not to steal his place.”
——
In a secluded alley deep within the neighborhood, there sits an inconspicuous courtyard.
While Fontaine Street is bustling and noisy, this place is peaceful and serene, as if undisturbed by the world.
The elderly man in the Tang suit glanced at the young man in front of him and said with dissatisfaction, "Didn't you say it was foolproof? How come someone still managed to escape? How am I supposed to explain this to my clients?"
The young man lowered his head and hid in the shadows. "Master, the opponent is protected by a powerful figure. I am no match for him."
The old man in the Tang suit became even more dissatisfied, thinking that he couldn't even do such a small thing right.
"Your aptitude is too poor. No wonder you haven't made any progress after so many years of cultivation in the Xuanmen. You can't even handle an ordinary person, and you've wasted one of my evil spirits. I might as well do it myself."
Of all the disciples he took in, this one was mediocre and not worth much.
Thinking of his young apprentice who had recently died, he became even more unhappy.
Although his youngest apprentice is an ordinary person, he is exceptionally talented and will surely become his right-hand man in the future.
Unfortunately, the young apprentice offended some powerful figure. Not only did he die, but he also caused the other party to injure him, dissipating decades of his cultivation.
The elderly man in the Tang suit became increasingly resentful, feeling that his luck had been bad lately and that there hadn't been a single happy event.
The young man lowered his head even further. "Then, Master, are you planning to do it yourself?"
The old man in the Tang suit snorted coldly, "You good-for-nothing who's good for nothing but causing trouble! If you can't do it, of course I have to do it myself. I can't ruin my own reputation."
"Just wait, whoever stands in my way, I will make them wish they were dead!" The old man's voice carried a hint of ruthlessness.
The young man nodded blankly, then suddenly tilted his head and listened intently to the sounds outside.
Suddenly, footsteps echoed through the quiet alley.
He said somewhat fearfully, "Master, is it because I forgot something last time that the other party has come knocking on our door?"
The old man in the Tang suit calculated with his fingers and sneered, "Very well, then let these people never return today!"
As long as he doesn't run into that expert again, he can deal with most people however he wants.
How many people in the Xuanmen sect have perished at his hands over the years?
——
Li Wenhe stood at the entrance of the alley, looking at the quiet alley, and felt that something was wrong.
"Are we just going to walk straight there?"
Is there an ambush inside?
