All I could see inside the delivery box was a bloody chicken head and a photo of Mr. Jiang, whose face was stained crimson with chicken blood.
Mr. Jiang was also a little frightened when he saw this, but he still comforted Huang Qing beside him and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a chicken head. Let me see who is so annoying as to send us such a thing to scare us."
When Yue Jiu Nian saw the chicken head, she remained calm. She had already guessed what was inside the box when she received it. With her arms crossed, she said indifferently, "This is clearly a threatening letter. Dad, have you offended someone?"
Mr. Jiang had already reached for the photo. On the back of the photo was written Mr. Jiang's birth date and a scary sentence: Watch out for your chicken head!
Upon seeing this message, Mr. Jiang immediately became furious. He grabbed the photo, slammed it down, and angrily exclaimed, "Damn it! Who sent me this?! And they even called me a chicken! I'm calling the police!"
Everyone present knew that Mr. Jiang's zodiac sign was the Rooster, so they understood why he was so angry.
Huang Qing helped the angry Mr. Jiang to sit on the sofa and said, "Hey, Mr. Jiang, don't be so angry. I think this was probably done by someone who knows you very well. Let's call the police and let them find out who did it."
"Yes, how dare they send such threatening letters? If they're caught, they could be sentenced."
Jiang Yi, who had just returned, also said.
Everyone was trying to calm the angry Mr. Jiang, but Yue Jiunian remained silent. For some reason, Yue Jiunian had a feeling that the matter concerning the Jiang family this time was not so simple.
Jiang Yi quickly called the police and waited for them to come to collect evidence and take statements. After everything was settled, everyone prepared to eat, but the atmosphere at the dinner table was not good. Everyone was looking down and thinking about things with worry.
Mr. Jiang lost his appetite as he ate. He put down his bowl and said with a dark face, "I'm not eating anymore, I have no appetite."
He started walking towards the stairwell, seemingly heading back to his room. Huang Qing saw this and wanted to chase after him, saying, "Hey, you haven't even eaten a few bites of food yet! Be careful, or you'll get an upset stomach later."
Watching the couple go upstairs, Yue Jiu Nian said to her younger cousin who was freeloading, "Xiao Zhan, go back after you finish eating. Don't come over to play again unless it's absolutely necessary."
Liu Zhan also saw the threatening letter that morning, and he asked, puzzled, "Why?"
Yue Jiu Nian said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that we received a threatening letter today, and there might be some trouble in the future. It might not be good for you to stay here."
"What's wrong with this?" Jiang Hai, who was standing to the side, was confused when he heard Yue Jiu's words. He said, "We've already called the police, so let the police handle this. You don't need to worry so much."
Liu Zhan also said, "Yeah, sis, do you think I'm scared? I'm not scared at all!"
Jiang Yi also said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. I guess it was done by some of the company's competitors. My dad just invested in a project a few days ago, and there were many people vying for it. I guess it was someone who didn't get the project and is taking revenge."
Yue Jiu gave a soft "hmm" to indicate that she understood.
In the afternoon, Yue Jiu thought about it for a long time, and finally went to Mr. Jiang's study. She saw Mr. Jiang looking at documents with the door open, so she knocked on the door and said, "Dad, are you busy?"
Mr. Jiang initially looked rather unhappy, but upon seeing Yue Jiu Nian, he smiled and said, "Hmm? It's Nian Nian. What's up? Are you planning to go back to J City?"
Yue Jiu nodded and said, "Emmm, I was originally planning to go back, but I still wanted to come and remind Dad."
"A reminder? A reminder about what?"
Looking at Jiang's father's old face, Yue Jiu Nian said, "Actually, it's nothing. It's just about what happened this morning. I think you should go to the temple and get a peace charm or something."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jiang asked with some surprise, "Go to the temple to get a peace charm? What do you mean?"
Yue Jiunian said uncertainly, "Um, I don't know why, but I just feel that you should need it."
"You mentioned the amulet, could it be related to that chicken head and those other things?" Mr. Jiang frowned and said, "Niannian, did you figure something out?"
Yue Jiunian hesitated for a moment, but finally said, "In any case, I still think it would be better for you to ask for a talisman."
As the father and daughter were talking, Huang Qing arrived. She had also heard Yue Jiu Nian's words and quickly said, "Niannian, do you know something? Is there really some evil spirit haunting your father?"
Yue Jiu said, "Actually, I'm just guessing, so I can't be sure if it's true or not."
"But, Niannian, if those things really exist, you can just stay home and protect Dad. Why go outside to ask for a talisman? You could just draw one for Dad, wouldn't that be enough?"
Huang Qing looked at Yue Jiu Nian and said, his expression a mixture of worry and relief.
Yue Jiu Nian knew she was worried about Jiang's father, and at the same time, she was glad that she, the 'master,' was at home. However, Yue Jiu Nian still spoke up speechlessly, saying, "I can't draw talismans, and I can't catch ghosts, so you should go find a temple outside."
She finished speaking and left, while inwardly cursing: Damn it, why would a monster like me catch ghosts and draw talismans? I'm not crazy!
