Fu Jinyan, the daughter of the leader of Dark Moon, joined the Emperor Killing Alliance and entered the Fu family as the illegitimate daughter of Fu Jingxiao, the second master of the Fu family. Before that, she had always lived in this poor mountain village.
According to the intelligence gathered by Liuli Pavilion, after Fu Jinyan arrived at the Fu family at the age of twelve, the entire village began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
Many people who had been in contact with Fu Jinyan died mysteriously, either from serious illness or accidents. Even the funeral home staff who helped Fu Jinyan cremate her mother's body were all replaced and disappeared without a trace.
If they want to expose Fu Jinyan's many misdeeds, they need to find out how Fu Jinyan managed to infiltrate the Fu family back then!
"Hmm." Gu Momo frowned slightly. "Fu Jinyan will be here soon, we must finish this quickly!"
The people from Liuli Pavilion acted quickly. By the time Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou arrived at the villa, they had already found the people who knew about Fu Jinyan back then. After giving them benefits, they questioned them separately, treating them as if they were casually asking about the weather.
But to everyone's surprise, their expressions changed as soon as Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou mentioned Fu Jinyan.
"What? Fu Jinyan?" The villagers' faces were filled with horror. "We don't know her! We don't know her!"
"You should ask somewhere else! In this remote and impoverished place, there are only Jiangwazi, Junwazi, and Qinwazi who spends all day cutting pig feed and herding cattle at the village entrance! Where would any Fu Jinyan come from? You should ask somewhere else!"
Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou asked dozens of people in a short period of time, and almost all of them gave the same result.
"It seems the danger the villagers encountered earlier has had a huge impact on them. Even if they know something, they won't say it!" Gu Momo made a quick decision. "Fu Jinyan and the others might arrive at any time. Let's retreat first!"
All of Liuli Pavilion's subordinates made an emergency retreat. Just then, the village suddenly erupted in screams of agony from the night:
"Ah! Snakes! So many snakes!"
"Help! Help! There are so many snakes here!"
Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou were getting ready to leave quickly when they heard the noise and immediately realized something was wrong.
Perhaps because the mysterious person had always managed to turn things around whenever a snake appeared, the two of them subconsciously had a strong premonition—
Perhaps this situation will take a new turn!
The two rushed towards the direction where the villagers screamed, and sure enough, they saw many villagers running out shirtless. Among them, the one with the big belly who was the most frightened had obviously been bitten by a snake, and there were several teeth marks on his neck.
Even in the darkness, you could clearly see that there was rough human skin stuck to his face, but because he had been bitten by a snake, a large piece of the human skin on his face was torn off, and you could see his true face underneath.
A glint flashed in Gu Wanrou's clear, snow-white eyes: "Sister Momo! I remember this person!"
Before the villagers could react, Gu Wanrou's slender body rushed to the big-bellied man with an uncanny speed.
The man with the large belly screamed in terror. He tried to escape in a panic, but Gu Wanrou swiftly grabbed him and pinned him against Gu Momo, saying, "Ha! Still trying to escape? Let's see if you can still get away now!"
"Sister Momo! When I was investigating Fu Jinyan's file, I found that this person was the mortician who did the burial work for Fu Jinyan's so-called mother! But after that, I heard that the mortician suddenly died of an illness, so we couldn't find him at all! But I didn't expect that this person was hiding in this village!"
As she spoke, Gu Wanrou ripped off the entire human skin mask from the big-bellied man's face:
"When you helped Fu Jinyan bury her mother's body, what wicked things did you do? You even faked your death and then lived in the village wearing a human skin mask? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning for doing such heinous things?"
The man with the large belly hurriedly covered his face, deliberately lowering his voice: "No, I didn't! You've mistaken me for someone else!"
By this time, the villagers had already gathered around upon hearing the noise. Since they all knew each other quite often, someone quickly recognized them:
"Oh my god! Master Chen?! Didn't you die more than ten years ago?"
"Yes, I remember too! He died after helping Liu Yan with her burial, how could he be alive again!"
The Liu Yan mentioned by the villagers was Fu Jinyan's nominal mother in the village. She was a famous beauty in the village, known for her fair skin and beautiful appearance. Unfortunately, no one expected that she would suddenly go crazy and die from a sudden illness.
Some villagers, already realizing what was happening, angrily picked up hammers and started smashing them against the pot-bellied man!
"Haven't you realized yet? He was collecting money for someone! That bastard, he was dirt poor when he was a funeral director, he couldn't even find a wife in the village! Look at him now, when he came back in disguise, he's already the local tyrant!"
"He knows best what shady money he took back then, otherwise who would live in this godforsaken place with a human body on their back! How many times has he done wrong things in the village these past few years, taking advantage of his money?!"
The man with the large belly turned pale with fear: "No, I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"
Gu Momo's charming eyes curled into a playful smile: "Whether you've been framed or not, we'll know once you've explained everything. Men, take him away immediately! Everyone else, gather all the documents in his room and move them out!"
"yes!"
The subordinates quickly put the pot-bellied man into the car, and Gu Momo and Gu Wanrou then turned around to leave.
Suddenly, Gu Momo felt a mysterious and intense gaze fall on her back, and she felt a chill run down her spine.
Her deep eyes turned warily, but all she could see was the noisy villagers and the darkness.
"What's wrong, Sister Momo?" Gu Wanrou asked, taking Gu Momo's hand in a comforting manner.
The suppressed emotions in Gu Momo's heart gradually dissipated, and she turned around with a light laugh: "It's nothing, let's get in the car first."
"good."
The group left quickly, while at that moment, inside a mud house not far away...
The pale yellow candlelight flickered in the wind, outlining the man's face with its youthful, heroic features.
He wore a dark black trench coat, his handsome face obscured by the candlelight, revealing only his aggressive yet wickedly playful eyes, which were filled with malice, ferocity, and ruthlessness.
His slender fingers gently toyed with a black and red striped snake, his thin lips curving into a wicked smile.
"Gu Momo, I've helped you a lot along the way, so don't let me down..."
