It was almost dawn when Shen Jiezhu returned to the wizard house. The main hall, which was usually dark and quiet at this time, was now bright and bustling.

Did this meeting last so long?

Something is wrong.

Shen Jiezhu hesitated for a moment, slowed down her pace, and walked to the door of the main hall. She looked through the gap and saw that it was a mess inside. The disciples were surrounding a person and talking about something in a flurry.

An Shang was the most senior disciple among the disciples, and they would often gather around him to ask questions. Shen Jiezhu subconsciously thought that person inside was An Shang, but when she turned around, she saw An Shang standing next to her, as if he had just returned from the kitchen, holding some fruit in his hands.

? ?

It's not An Shang? Who is it?

"Master Shen, why are you here? It's so cold outside..."

"I just came back from outside and happened to pass by, so I came to see you."

"Master Shen, the director told me today that he plans to train me to handle the affairs of the Wizarding Pavilion. I..."

"Well, he told me about this, and I think it's okay. I know you may feel that your ability is limited now, and you are a little afraid to take on this responsibility, but it doesn't matter. I will teach you in person from now on. You and Chi Chang Hyun will learn everything together. It's good to have many skills."

An Shang was originally very unsure, but when he heard that Shen Jiezhu would teach him personally, his eyes suddenly lit up and he became much more energetic.

"Really? Is this really possible? I, I'm so excited, I want to learn! I want to learn everything!"

kkk

It was obvious that he really loved metaphysics. Shen Jiezhu smiled and patted his shoulder: "Take your time and work steadily~"

"Um!"

Wondering who the person being surrounded was, Shen Jiezhu walked in. The disciples immediately dispersed and greeted her. Only then did she see clearly that the person being surrounded was Qi Jing.

It's only been one night, and he's already so familiar with everyone?

Shen Jiezhu pursed her lips and said nothing. Suzhen next to her poked her head out, saw her puzzled expression, and happily walked forward to her side to introduce her.

"My benefactor, this is our new disciple today, brought here by the director. His name is Qi Jing. He is amazing. He just brought back the ghost you asked us to find in the amusement park last time!"

When she said these words, Suzhen's eyes were shining. When Shen Jiezhu saw the smile on her face, she knew that she liked her junior fellow apprentice very much.

As for that ghost she was talking about...

He didn't expect that the homework he assigned to other disciples would be completed by his junior fellow disciple, and he also gained the admiration of a group of disciples.

Shen Jiezhu chuckled, her face delicate and beautiful, and her eyes softened as she looked at Qi Jing. She was never stingy with her praise and treated her fellow disciples and fellow apprentices equally.

"Yes, very well done."

Seeing this, Suzhen ran to Qi Jing again and tugged at his sleeve: "Junior brother, this is Master Shen, the president of our Metaphysics Association. She is also an artist. You must have heard of her name. She is very, very good and is our idol!"

Have you heard of her name?

Of course I have.

Not only have I heard of it, but I also grew up with it.

Under the gaze of the surrounding disciples, Qi Jing took a step forward and called out to her, "Senior Sister."

What? What sister?

Suzhen was shocked, and the disciples were also stunned.

Isn't this the new disciple? How come he has become Master Shen's junior apprentice?

Shen Jiezhu hummed and introduced him to everyone again: "This is my junior fellow apprentice Qi Jing, and he is also the new disciple of the Wizard Hall. He will be my assistant from now on. You can go to him if you have any questions."

As soon as the word "junior brother" came out, everyone fell silent.

Envy and jealousy.

No wonder this new guy is so awesome, it turns out he is Master Shen's junior fellow apprentice. Are all their masters so awesome? These are all talented players, they don't even leave any chance for them.

As soon as this junior fellow apprentice arrived, he finished the homework that they had not completed for a long time. Wait, if Qi Jing is Master Shen’s junior fellow apprentice, then doesn’t he mean their uncle?

…

This generation’s score is a bit high!

I haven't taught my disciples for a long time. Today everyone is here and the man on the roller coaster has been brought back, so I might as well deal with this matter.

Shen Jiezhu sat at the highest seat in the main hall and waved to Qi Jing. The tacit understanding they had gained as fellow disciples over the years allowed them to understand each other's meaning without using any language.

Qi Jing silently took out the wooden sign from his arms and took the man out.

Oh, this is a live teaching!

The disciples reacted and immediately found their seats. An Shang sat on Shen Jiezhu's right hand side, very close to her so that she could teach at any time.

"An Shang, have you seen this person in the amusement park?"

An Shang said honestly: "I saw him on the roller coaster, but I couldn't bring him back."

"It's okay, you'll learn it after a while. I'll teach you how to make a mahogany sign later. It's very simple. You have great talent, but you've been stagnant and haven't improved much. You just need to work harder in the future."

"Thank you, Master."

What followed was the process of inquiring about the situation. The man had just come out of the peach wood card and was still dizzy.

As a metaphysical museum, the Wizard House has a mysterious and bizarre feel in its architecture and decoration. Especially in the main hall, where runes and patterns are carved on the two rows of tables and chairs, talismans and wizard logos are hung on the walls, and the bell at the door has the function of calming the soul, ringing non-stop because of the man's appearance.

After pausing for a while, he looked around carefully. When he saw two rows of disciples in uniform around him, he was so frightened that he trembled and called out "Jiahui" and almost fainted.

Fortunately, Shen Jiezhu spoke in time, and her soft voice dispelled the depression in the main hall.

"Are you staying there just for this person named Jiahui?"

This voice sounds familiar...

The man turned around and looked over, then froze in place.

In the field of vision, a woman wearing light-colored casual clothes was sitting lazily on a priceless huanghuali wood chair, her hands resting on the armrests. Her cold white skin made her look cold and aloof, yet full of nobility.

Her wrists were very thin, which made the bracelet on her right wrist look loose and as if it was about to fall off.

The man's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked up from his hand to his face. "It's you!"

The one who could touch him.

He had been looking for her for a long, long time, and finally they met again!

"I've been a bit busy with work. I haven't been to the amusement park in a long time. We haven't seen each other for a long time~"

Shen Jiezhu talked to him like an old friend, and the last bit of panic in the man's heart finally disappeared: "Where is this?"

"Wizard House."

Wizard House!!

Although he had been dead for many years, he still had some impression of the Wizard Hall. When the amusement park was being built, people from the Feng Shui Hall and the Wizard Hall seemed to have come specially. The leader of their engineering team respectfully led them around, and finally bowed and sent them away.

He was just a small worker at the time and had never felt such kindness from the captain, so he remembered it very clearly.

"One of the four great halls of metaphysics?"

"right."

"Why am I here and who are you?"

"I'm Shen Jiezhu, we are destined to be together, and I'm here to help you."

"I, I seem to have heard this name somewhere. You are the one from the Metaphysics Association, then... Shen Jiezhu? Right?"

"right."

"I know you. Many little ghosts say you are very powerful. They avoid you when they see you." The man suddenly became excited. "You said you were here to help me. Can you help me find Jiahui?"

Getting to the point, Shen Jiezhu's expression suddenly became much more serious: "Who is Jiahui? Tell me about her situation."

The man began to explain that Jiahui was his wife. Many years ago, he died in that place due to a construction accident. The construction team gave his wife a large sum of pension. At that time, his wife was already pregnant.

Because he was obsessed with wanting to see his unborn child, he kept waiting.

Ghosts cannot get too close to pregnant women, as it will harm the child and the mother's body. He dare not get too close to her, so he can only take a look at her at noon every day when the yang energy is the strongest and the ghost's energy is the weakest, and then leave immediately, never daring to stay for even a second longer.

She thought she could rest assured after seeing her child, but unexpectedly, Jiahui disappeared mysteriously two months before her due date.

He couldn't find her.

Each place has its own underworld messenger. Ghosts cannot go too far from the place where they died, or they will be killed by underworld messengers from other places. So he could only search in Seoul. After so many years, there was no news at all.

He could only wait, wait stubbornly.

Everland was a place he had promised his wife that he would accompany her in the future. In order not to miss any news about his wife, he had been looking for her everywhere at night for many years. Once Everland opened in the daytime, he would come back to see the tourists below, looking forward to his wife's appearance.

Until now.

After listening to his story, the disciples fell into deep thought.

It is difficult for a living person to wait for someone for more than ten years, but he, a ghost, has been waiting at the highest point of the roller coaster just to see his wife and children.

It would be a lie to say that they were not moved, but as metaphysicians, the most important thing they should do now is to help her find someone.

But how to find it?

The disciples were sure they didn't have that ability. With their current level, to find someone they needed the other person's underwear. But more than ten years had passed and they couldn't even find Jiahui, let alone her clothes.

Now we can only place our hopes on Master Shen.

Many eyes fell on Shen Jiezhu through the soft light. She took back her hand and gently turned the bracelet. Her nails were translucent and a healthy nude pink. When placed together with the silver bracelet, they looked like a warm jade.

She pulled her eyelids down, leaving a faint silhouette under her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, as if she was thinking about something.

Everyone held their breath and waited quietly for her reply.

"An Shang, do you want to try it?"

An Shang was suddenly cueed and was stunned for a moment, shaking his head at him: "Master Shen, this interval is too long..."

The subtext is, it's not going to work.

Shen Jiezhu nodded to show her understanding, and then she turned to ask Qi Jing: "Xiao Jing, do you want to try it?"

Qi Jing frowned slightly: "Senior Sister, he is a little bit resistant to me."

If there is resistance in the underlying words, the effect of soul-searching will be greatly reduced.

Well, she still understood.

Shen Jiezhu sighed and stood up from her chair: "Then I'll do it."

She walked up to the man, stretched out her hand, and asked him softly: "Can you let me see the Jiahui in your memory? Only in this way can I find her."

"Okay, thank you..."

The man extended his hand to her, Shen Jiezhu held his wrist and closed her eyes.

…

!!!

How could it be her?

Isn’t this woman the mother that the little boy asked me to save?

Not long ago, the soul of a little boy came to her for help. With the help of a portrait artist, she got a portrait of the little boy, and then saw her mother based on the portrait.

Exactly the same as this woman named Jiahui.

She was originally thinking about how to find this woman, but she didn't expect that she was actually Jiahui?

The little boy is only eight or nine years old now, and is definitely not the child of this man more than ten years ago, so... is Jiahui married again?

No...

It must not be that simple.

If they were married, they should have lived a good life. Why did the little boy get hurt so badly? Even to the point where his soul was leaving his body? And he came to me for help?

Could it be... that she was being abused?

Or was the marriage forced?

After realizing this problem, Shen Jiezhu opened her eyes instantly and instinctively took a step back. Although the step was not large, the disciples saw it clearly.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.

"Do you remember her birthday? When she was born."

"I remember."

The man nodded repeatedly, then told Jiahui's birthday. After listening, Shen Jiezhu winked at Qi Jing, who immediately understood, and the man recalled the peach wood card.

"Senior sister, what happened? Is Jiahui still alive now?"

Shen Jiezhu looked serious and looked at An Shang: "An Shang, I remember you said two days ago that the police wanted to cooperate with me to solve the case? Is that right?"

"right."

"Give them a call and ask them to come over."

Is it related to the police?

When An Shang heard this, he knew that something was wrong. He couldn't help but think of the "Hanjiang Wallet Murder Case" that shocked the whole country a few months ago. Could it be that this case also involved a life-threatening case?

He did not dare to hesitate and hurried out to make a phone call and informed the manager of the parking lot.

An hour later, the police arrived at the wizarding house, which was brightly lit.

Overnight, all the gossip about the artists yesterday disappeared, and the top ten hot lists were all the latest social news.

[In the mountainous area of ​​northern Gangwon Province, Oryong Village has abducted more than 200 women and children in the past 15 years! ]

【Wulong Village abducted and held women, girls and children captive.】

【People who have been missing for many years have been found in Wulong Village, and new clues have emerged in many unsolved cases. 】

[Who is behind Wulong Village? What is behind the mountains? ]

[Why are all the people in Wulong Village unwilling to leave the village? ]

[Police found a large number of bodies in the woods behind Wulong Village. ]

[The Metaphysics Association and the police have reached a cooperation agreement and formally established a Metaphysics Mystery Investigation Team. All unsolved cases in the country have been sent to the General Association’s office. ]

[Shen Jiezhu is investigating another major case. Is this "Wulong Village Kidnapping Case" her fault again? 】

…

Just as the news said, in recent years, the files of unsolved cases across the country have been sent to the office of the Metaphysics Association by special escort. Shen Jiezhu was held back by these things, and it was not until the third day that she had some free time.

After recording a new episode of "Battle of Psychics" in Feimi Country, she went to have dinner with some of her friends at the invitation of Victoria.

Shen Jiezhu was not clear about the identities of her friends, but from their introductions, she felt that they were all very powerful women, working in various industries and controlling a large amount of resources in those industries.

We are all metaphysics enthusiasts, and most of the topics discussed are related to metaphysics. After the meal, we felt like we had met too late.

It was an amazing feeling. Everyone else had posted a group photo on Instagram, so she followed suit and retweeted it. Her fans rushed over and started counting the people in the photo.

There are models, magazine editors, freelance photographers, financial practitioners, etc.

Shen Jiezhu knew all of this. The only thing that exceeded her expectations was that, besides Victoria, the woman who chatted with her the happiest at the scene was actually one of the shareholders of the Jiang family's overseas headquarters.

…

As soon as the news came out, many people were talking about it behind her back, saying that she had contacted the shareholders privately and that Jiang Hengtai's position as the heir-in-waiting would be in jeopardy.

So that night when she returned to Seoul, she was called back to the Jiang family.

This time we still had dinner together as a family, but the atmosphere was much better than last time.

Shen Jiezhu has already found out that all the money of the original owner was secretly transferred by Jiang Zhengzhong, including the time when she spent money lavishly while studying abroad, which was all transferred from the card Jiang Zhengzhong gave her.

Not only that, all the assets and necklaces in her family were also from Jiang Zhengzhong. In a branch of the Jiang family, she alone owned 15% of the shares, and she didn't need to participate in the work, just wait for the dividends.

This branch has developed the best in recent years and it is hard to get a share, not even Jiang Hengtai has one.

After investigating these things, Shen Jiezhu finally became convinced that her father truly loved his daughter.

She once used the excuse of hugging him to look through his memory when he was most relaxed, and found that it was full of beautiful memories. Although the time they spent together as father and daughter was short, it was still very touching.

Shen Jiezhu let down her guard towards Jiang Zhengzhong and became much more lively during the meal. She talked to him about some interesting things that happened to her during her trip to the United States and shared many happy moments.

"Dad, seriously, when you have time, we must find time to go to that island. The scenery is so beautiful. When Victoria took me there, I was stunned."

Jiang Zhengzhong's smile was kind and gentle, and when he looked at her, his eyes were always filled with the doting and tenderness of an old father: "Hahaha, OK, after Dad finishes the work at hand, I will accompany you to play there. If you like it, I will buy a house there and go there for vacation in the future."

Capitalists like to buy houses in various places.

Shen Jiezhu doesn't think it's necessary.

"Forget about the house. I don't go on vacation often. It's fun to go to different places~"

"That's right. If you're only going there once, then there's really no need. By the way, Zhuzhu, Daddy bought you a new car. I think the parking lot at the Wizarding Museum is quite big, so it should be able to fit in."

Shen Jiezhu immediately raised her hands in surrender: "Oh, Dad, I already have enough cars. I've been so busy lately and don't have time to drive. The studio has its own car."

After saying that, she added another sentence.

"Let's give this car to my brother. After all, he works every day and has many people under him, so he has many places to use the car."

When saying this, Shen Jiezhu was looking at Jiang Hengtai.

She watched carefully and did not miss the coldness that flashed across Jiang Hengtai's eyes. Is he finally unable to hold back after pretending to be a good brother on the surface?

In the few hours since she returned home, she has wanted to have physical contact with him more than once, just to see clearly the relationship between the original owner and him.

There must have been a reason why the original owner blocked her memories of family before she died. Based on her experience as a metaphysician, the most likely scenario is that before she died, she suffered a major blow from her family, which made her so decisively forget everything.

Now she has tried everyone related to the original owner.

Although her uncle and An Sheng would interfere with her relationship with Kwon Ji-yong, their feelings for her were genuine and they had no bad intentions. They tried their best to teach her how to manage the company and even worked without eating or sleeping to teach her.

There's nothing wrong with Dad either. He cares for and loves the original owner just as much as my uncles do.

She also found out about the so-called stepmother. She was her father's ex-girlfriend before he got married. She loved vanity and her dissatisfaction with her was always expressed openly. She never did anything behind her back.

After checking all the people, the only one who might have a problem is Jiang Hengtai.

Unfortunately, she tried all kinds of methods but failed to achieve her goal.

Jiang Hengtai has been avoiding her intentionally or unintentionally and has not been in close contact with her. Even if he did, he would be very careful with his words and would never mention what happened before.

Even if it was mentioned occasionally, Shen Jiezhu was allowed to explore his memory, but all she saw was a blank.

He really never took off the amulet.

It would be a miracle if this wasn't a problem.

After confirming this situation, Shen Jiezhu accidentally remembered what Quan Zhilong had said before. He had seen with his own eyes some men in black hanging around downstairs of his original house.

She suddenly had a bold idea. Those men in black must be related to Jiang Hengtai. Maybe he sent them to monitor her.

In order to confirm this idea, she just deliberately said that he was in charge of many people and needed many cars.

Sure enough, she blew it out.

"It's just for work, one car is enough. Dad, you should give this car to Zhuzhu. I can't use it even if you give it to me. You know, I don't usually drive."

Jiang Hengtai refused.

Shen Jiezhu didn't force it, and nodded with a smile, "Is that so... If you really don't want it, then give it to me. I want it. I'm not picky, I'm very good, don't you think so, brother?"

…

The more she was certain that Jiang Hengtai might have done something to irritate the original owner, the more Shen Jiezhu didn't want to stay in the same place with him, but in order to take care of her father's feelings, she reluctantly stayed for a while longer.

Her phone was on silent during dinner, so she missed a lot of messages. Once she turned on the sound, she started replying to messages frantically.

Quan Zhilong was waiting at the door as usual. When Shen Jiezhu saw him, she ran over excitedly and said, "Oppa, didn't I tell you not to come over? I don't have a fixed time for meals. How long have you been waiting? Your hands are cold."

Shen Jiezhu held his hand with heartache.

"There's a big temperature difference between day and night. You don't know to wait in the car. Are you stupid? Really, cover yourself up quickly. Fortunately, my hands are hot and can warm you up."

Quan Zhilong smiled and took her hand, and started to act coquettishly as if he had suffered a great injustice.

"It's okay, it will get hot in a while. You've been flying around these days, and I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you. I'm almost a boyfriend who misses his wife. Can't you have mercy on me and let me look at you for a while longer?"

"kkk Don't be so exaggerated, let me hug you, then you won't turn into a stone!" Shen Jiezhu hugged him and rubbed him affectionately. After smelling the familiar scent, she relaxed completely.

Quan Zhilong hugged her and saw her white earlobe. He raised his hand and touched it. He asked her softly, "Why don't you wear your couple earrings? I want to see you wearing earrings."

"I posted the photos, too. I posted the photos of both ears."

"How can a photo be compared to the real person?" Kwon Ji-yong gently kissed her earlobe. The coolness on his lips collided with the heat of her ear. Shen Jiezhu sensitively shrank her neck and jumped to the side.

"Oppa!"

Quan Zhilong took out a small box from his pocket and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I prepared a backup. This one is very low-key and simple in style. I'm sure you will like it."

Sister Shen leaned over to look at the earrings. They were small silver earrings, not as sparkling as the previous pair of diamonds, but very simple and elegant in style, similar to a small screw.

Shen Jiezhu liked this pair of earrings very much and looked at them very carefully.

Kwon Ji-yong looked at her movements and smiled very proudly, just like when he was a child and gave candies to a girl he liked, and felt happy and proud after confirming that she liked it too.

"Here, I'll put it on for you."

Shen Jiezhu obediently raised her head, and Quan Zhilong's movements were unusually gentle. After careful attempts, he finally put on the earrings.

"Okay~"

He let out a long sigh and looked down at Shen Jiezhu in front of him. His slightly drooped eyelids made him look lazy and gentle. The simple sweater he wore inexplicably added a lot of youthfulness to him.

When his hair moves with the wind, he is the young man standing in his youth with a permanent smile on his face.

Shen Jiezhu touched her ear with her fingertips and looked up at him.

"Oppa, how is it, so good-looking... mmm!"

Being suddenly attacked, Shen Jiezhu was stunned for a second.

"It looks good! It looks really good kkk~ I like it very much."

"Oppa, you are launching a surprise attack!"

Shen Jiezhu rushed forward fiercely, intending to teach him a lesson with her "sandbag"-sized fist, but he easily grabbed her wrist, pulled hard, and closed the distance between them.

"I didn't attack suddenly, I just... eh? Mr. Jiang?"

dad!!

Shen Jiezhu immediately looked back, and was suddenly kissed on the cheek again: "This is what we call a surprise attack~"

"You scared me to death, Oppa!"

Shen Jiezhu punched him fiercely, and it looked like she used a lot of strength, but in fact it was soft and didn't hurt at all.

Quan Zhilong laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared, and he held her hand tightly. At this moment, a phone call came in. It was from his junior fellow apprentice.

Junior brother has been dealing with some unsolved cases with Chi Chang Hyun, An Sang and others recently. It seems that he has encountered some problems, otherwise he would not have called so late.

"Get in the car and say, let's go."

Kwon Ji-yong knew that she had to deal with the affairs of the Metaphysics Association, so he took her hand, put her in the passenger seat, fastened her seat belt, and then returned to the driver's seat.

At this time, Shen Jiezhu had already answered the phone.

"Xiao Jing, what's wrong?"

"Sister, when I was handling an unsolved case, someone came to ask for mercy. You may have to come and handle it in person."

Sister Shen frowned and refused decisively.

"We don't have any favors to ask for. If you did something wrong, it's wrong. What's the point of looking for me? I won't see you."

Before Qi Jing could say anything, someone on the other end of the phone spoke first. It was a man's voice, and he sounded anxious.

"President Shen! I was originally Jiang Hengtai's man. I heard that you lost your memory. I know what he did to you. I have evidence against him. I want to use this evidence to save my life. Please help me!"

…

"If you want to ask for help, you should act like one. If you want me to help you, you should give me a condition to let me go to see you. What if I go and you tell me all lies? What should I do?"

"I...I was the one who tied up your green scarf. I tied it into a half-knot."

!!!

The green scarf is the one the original owner hanged himself with...

Shen Jiezhu's expression finally changed: "Address."

"Sister, we are at Yiry Mater."

"Half an hour."

"good."
