"Fine, fine, I'll listen to you." Director Yu was furious and stepped aside, ignoring him. He was a well-known figure, after all. What was Lü Cheng? He just knew the dean and had a few stinking bucks.
Just then, Lü Yinan, who had been quiet, suddenly raised her head, screamed, and snapped the ropes binding her.
The security guard picked up a tranquilizer gun and was about to fire, but Ye Xingchen slapped him, sending him flying several meters away.
"This thing is for dealing with criminals, not patients," Ye Xingchen said coldly.
As soon as Sun Island spoke, Lü Yinan broke free. She screamed, grabbed Ye Xingchen's neck, and bit him.
With Ye Xingchen protected by her true energy, when she bit down, not only did she not leave any injury on Ye Xingchen, but she herself ended up with her mouth full of blood.
Ye Xingchen grabbed her arm with his backhand and, with a slight effort, threw her onto the hospital bed.
"I'll kill you!" Lü Yinan screamed. She sat up abruptly, ready to fight Ye Xingchen to the death, but Ye Xingchen flicked his fingers in the air, his true energy penetrating through several of her major acupoints and knocking her down onto the bed.
With her acupoints sealed, Lü Yinan no longer had the strength to get up. She lay on the bed, breathing heavily.
But her bloodshot eyes never left Ye Xingchen; she wished she could devour him whole.
Director Yu was dumbfounded. Sedatives and anesthetics hadn't been able to calm Lü Yinan down, but Ye Xingchen's simple gesture of pointing a finger into the air had quieted her down. What was going on? Did this young man really have some special abilities?
"I know you want to kill me." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly. He leaned closer to Lü Yinan, his gaze deep: "But what are you? Someone who has been refined into a soul possession, only able to possess a person and do whatever you want."
"You're not even a ghost, do you really think you can kill me?"
As soon as Ye Xingchen finished speaking, he pointed his hand into the air and pointed at Lü Yinan's forehead.
"Ah..." Lu Yinan suddenly opened her mouth wide, and black blood gushed out of her mouth. She rolled onto the bed with a thud and crawled forward, with black energy rising from her body.
"Dad, Dad, save me!" Lu Yinan crawled toward Lu Cheng, her voice filled with despair.
"Nan Nan!" Lu Cheng cried out, pushing aside the bodyguards and rushing forward.
"Stop your boss," Ye Xingchen ordered in a deep voice.
The bodyguards were taken aback and quickly stopped Lü Cheng.
Ye Xingchen walked forward slowly, and with a wave of his hand, Chixiao appeared in his palm.
With the power of his right hand, he channeled his inner energy, and with a hum, the Crimson Sky suddenly shone with a yellow light, enveloping Lü Yinan within it.
"Come out now!" Ye Xingchen shouted, pointing forward with his right hand. The sword light of the Crimson Sky completely enveloped Lü Yinan.
Accompanied by a ghostly howl, a black mist resembling a human figure rose from Lü Yinan's body.
In that instant, the indoor temperature plummeted by more than ten degrees, and a bone-chilling cold surged from people's hearts.
This black cloud was shaped like a human, with two bright green eyes. It glared at Ye Xingchen hatefully, then turned and tried to escape.
"Did I say you could leave?" Ye Xingchen raised an eyebrow, took a step forward, and the Crimson Sky Sword burst forth with light.
"ah……"
The black mist let out a miserable scream, which made everyone's eardrums ache. The next second, Chi Xiao swept across the black mist's waist, and the black mist instantly vanished.
Lü Yinan collapsed to the ground and fainted.
"Nannan." Only now did Lü Cheng rush over and pick up Lü Yinan.
Ye Xingchen took out the golden needles and quickly inserted them a few times, and Lü Yinan slowly woke up.
"Nannan, how are you?" Lu Cheng asked with concern.
Lu Yinan's eyes were somewhat vacant, but her pupils slowly focused and returned to normal.
But when she saw Lü Cheng, she turned her head away and ignored him.
"It's alright now," Ye Xingchen said. "My hair is clean after washing."
"Who on earth would do such a terrible thing to my daughter?" Lu Cheng asked angrily.
"President Lü, please speak further. Yi Jin, why don't you stay with her for a while?" Ye Xingchen said.
"Okay, sure." Li Yijin nodded obediently.
"Mr. Ye, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask." After leaving the room, Lü Cheng said gratefully, "Is there anything you need to tell me?"
"Mr. Lü, although the curse has been lifted, there are some things I'd like to clarify in person." Ye Xingchen pondered for a moment and then said, "Your daughter seems a bit off."
"Something's not right?" Lu Cheng was slightly taken aback. "What aspect is Mr. Ye referring to?"
"From the perspective of her black magic, this is a soul curse, which means that in Southeast Asia, some people keep ghosts. When necessary, the ghosts can be driven by the keepers to possess the body of the person under the curse."
Ye Xingchen said, "However, there is one difference between soul curse and insect curse. The ghost that is raised is just a ball of energy, and even a little bit of sunlight can kill it. Unless the person being cursed agrees, the spiritual power of soul curse cannot control the person being cursed at all."
"Mr. Ye, are you saying that my daughter willingly accepted the demotion?" Lu Cheng was taken aback. "Why would she do that?"
"So I would like to ask Mr. Lü, is your relationship with your daughter harmonious?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“She…” Lu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then sighed, “She now sees me as an enemy.”
"Treating them as enemies?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback.
“I divorced her mother, and her mother passed away recently. She holds a grudge against me for all of this,” Lü Cheng said. “So my daughter and I are now practically enemies.”
"Why did her mother die?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“His unexpected death has nothing to do with me,” Lü Cheng said.
"Then what was the reason for your divorce?" Ye Xingchen asked again.
“She originally intended to leave with her first love, and I gave her her freedom. But after the divorce, her so-called first love disappeared with another woman,” Lu Cheng said. “Because she couldn’t accept such a blow, she became confused and disoriented.”
“Nannan wants us to get back together, but for me, that’s a huge humiliation. And her mother acts all high and mighty. How can I, as a man, tolerate that?” Lu Cheng clenched his fists tightly.
"I understand." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly. "The reason has been found, President Lü. Don't worry, I will handle this for you."
"Thank you, Mr. Ye. What exactly happened to her?" Lu Cheng clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Xingchen.
"The situation is a bit complicated to explain. The curse has been cast, but she's currently surrounded by too much yin energy," Ye Xingchen said. "This is because she often stays in places with heavy yin energy. Where is she living now?"
“She lived in the courtyard where her maternal grandparents lived. After my divorce from her mother, she continued to live there and never came back. After her mother passed away, I tried to persuade her to come back, but she wouldn’t.” Lu Cheng was taken aback: “Is that place haunted by yin energy?”
