Time passed second by second, and the sun had risen high in the sky. Yang Qijia was sent back by Zhang Zhe's men, who also gave him money, saying that they would come back to find him again.
Finally, Zhang Zhe approached Fang Shuang with a pained expression, almost gritting his teeth as he said, "Why the hell didn't you tell me it was double the price!"
Fang Shuang pretended not to know and asked innocently, "What do you mean by double the price?"
Zhang Zhe was even more stunned: "Don't you know? That guy surnamed Yang must have deliberately cheated me out of my money."
Zhang Zhe suddenly felt his IQ had been shattered. Just as he was about to go find that guy surnamed Yang to get his money back, he saw Fang Shuang running away laughing.
Zhang Zhe exclaimed in exasperation, "Fang Shuang!"
That's money! Bright red RMB! He felt a pang of heartache, and the thought that it was doubled made him want Fang Shuang to pay him back.
Finally, Fang Shuang returned to her residence. Old Scar and the others had been waiting at home for a long time because they had returned early.
But when Fang Shuang got back, she didn't say anything to them. She just sat on the sofa, looked up at the ceiling, and sighed deeply.
Old Scar walked in and sat down next to him: "What's wrong? Why are you sighing?"
Fang Shuang sighed again before saying, "The trail has gone cold, and I'm heartbroken."
Old Scar was puzzled: "Didn't Yang Qijia tell you everything he needed to say? Wasn't anything useful?"
Fang Shuang opened her mouth: "It's not that it's useless. According to Yang Qijia, the person who cooperated with him a few years ago should be the mastermind behind this puppet. But Yang Qijia doesn't remember who that person is or what special features they have. So all we know is that that person has a powerful family background or a lot of power. Otherwise, it's not something an ordinary person could do to give a stranger psychological suggestion and the boost of drugs without knowing them at all."
Old Scar said again, "Alright, don't worry. It's already good enough to know these clues. With a general investigation, we should be able to define the scope of the investigation."
Fang Shuang shook her head.
Suddenly, Fang Shuang felt a sharp pain in her chest, her expression gradually became ferocious, and cold sweat appeared on her forehead.
Old Scar looked on, completely bewildered, and stepped forward, asking, "Wait, what's wrong with you?"
But after he finished speaking, he realized what was happening and quickly took out the yellow talisman from his pocket.
He knew that Fang Shuang's obsession had turned into a demon in his heart, and even the slightest action or trivial matter could trigger this demon.
Old Scar frowned, looking at Fang Shuang's gradually paling face, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
She just frowned deeply, looked at him for a long time, and then said, "Let me help you get rid of this inner demon."
Fang Shuang suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him in astonishment: "No, I don't want to!"
Old Scar sighed helplessly, "Is this something you can just give up on like that? Think about it, how many times has this happened since this incident? Have you ever thought that if you keep going like this, you'll be driven mad by this inner demon one day?"
Fang Shuang pressed her eyelids down and said resolutely, "No, even if I go crazy, I will not get rid of this inner demon. It's something I owe her."
Old Scar suddenly seemed confused: "No? What do you owe her?"
Fang Shuang couldn't give a clear answer.
Yes, what does he owe her? If you asked him to put it specifically, he really doesn't know. But he just feels that he owes her for the rest of his life, and if it weren't for him, she might be doing well now.
Thinking of this, Fang Shuang felt even more heartbroken. He really wanted to be more carefree, but he couldn't. Whenever Yanling was involved, he would become unreasonable. Although he could control himself sometimes, he still felt that he couldn't control his thoughts when it came to her.
Finally, Old Scar had no choice but to turn around, use blood as a medium, add ink to draw talismans, and then stuff a stack of yellow talismans into his hand.
Seeing him reach out and take it, Old Scar said, "Whenever your inner demons attack your heart, burn this yellow talisman and mix it with water to drink."
Fang Shuang was taken aback for a moment, but finally said, "Thank you."
After that, everything returned to normal. The White Lotus Sect, puppets, hypnosis, Zhang Yulong—Fang Shuang didn't know if these individual events were connected, but he just felt that no matter the process, the ending was definitely related to Zhang Yulong.
Fang Shuang also fell into deep thought. According to what Lao Ba said, perhaps by conducting a general investigation, they would have a specific scope for their investigation.
