Chapter 54 I can't afford to lose face



The mistress's face turned pale for a moment after being stabbed.

He cried out in pain at the same time.

"Ah—" The mistress tried to pull her hand away forcefully, but she couldn't get it out. She screamed, "Let go of me! What do you want to do?"

Jiang Li obtained the blood token, glanced at Xiao San with disdain, and then forcefully tossed Xiao San aside like a rag.

The mistress cried out in pain again.

"Ayan." Jiang Li completely ignored her and turned to look at Lu Shiyan. "Let's call the police."

Lu Shiyan immediately took out his phone.

"Didn't you say that if I called her over, you wouldn't call the police?" The man's eyes turned bloodshot, and he immediately lunged at Lu Shiyan. "You broke your promise! You went back on your word!"

Lu Shiyan scoffed, kicked the man three meters away, and said in a voice as cold as if it were filled with ice, "Who told you we weren't going to call the police? We just said that if you let her come over, we wouldn't call the police for the time being, and we kept our promise and didn't call the police."

Amidst the man's fearful and angry expression, Lu Shiyan dialed the police.

The police station first confirmed Lu Shiyan's identity, so they took the matter very seriously and dispatched the nearest police force to the scene as quickly as possible.

The mistress took a while to react after hearing the man's words.

"You tricked me into coming here on purpose? Why?" Disbelief flashed in the mistress's eyes, and she even forgot the pain in her body. "You clearly said that I was the person you loved the most, but you knew that coming here wouldn't bring any good things, so why did you still make me come?"

"How ridiculously foolish." Jiang Li shook her head as she looked at the mistress, her expression cold. "He loves you the most? What does he love about you? Your gentleness and tenderness? Your youth and beauty? There are plenty of gentle and lovely people in this world, and countless young and beautiful ones. Who do you think you are?"

"You! Shut up!" The mistress glared at Jiang Li with a sinister look. "It's not like that! I'm different from others, I'm different!"

"So what if she gave him a son? What's the difference?" Jiang Li's gaze then fell on the first wife beside her. "Didn't she also give him a son? And what happened to her? What became of her?"

The mistress's face turned pale and then red, but she still stubbornly insisted, "We're different, we're different..."

"Do you think that just because you have something on him, he won't do anything to you?" Jiang Li seemed to see through the mistress's thoughts, and said each word clearly and forcefully, "No, if you have something on him, he will only want to kill you even more. After all... the dead can't talk, and the dead can't threaten people."

"I...I don't know what you're talking about?" The mistress's eyes flickered, and her expression was unfocused.

"Don't you know?" Jiang Li's lips curved upwards even more. "Okay, then I'll tell you. You conspired with him to kill Lele. After killing Lele, you could shift the blame for not taking good care of Lele onto his wife. This way, the man could use the excuse to separate from his wife and then manipulate her into giving up the family property and leaving with nothing. In this way, you could not only successfully take over her position but also get everything that originally belonged to her."

The mistress was terrified by what she was being said, but she still stubbornly retorted, "This is just your word. Where's the evidence? If you don't have any evidence, I can sue you for defamation!"

"Isn't the evidence right on you?" Jiang Li was speechless. "You used your own blood as a catalyst for the evil spell you gave Lele. I have to say, you're really fearless. Don't you know that if the evil spell is broken, you will also suffer the backlash?"

Jiang Li checked the time again.

There are fifteen minutes left until midnight.

She took the blood sample and went to Lele's room.

Several talismans flew out of her hand at the same time, arranging themselves into an array in front of her. The blood guide spun in the air along with the talismans. Soon, the talismans and the blood guide merged together, turning into a halo of light, which Jiang Li pushed into Lele's body.

At the same time...

A piercing scream came from outside.

Lele's expression turned painful, and finally he coughed up a mouthful of blood before his expression improved slightly.

Jiang Li glanced at the blood carefully, then threw another talisman at Lele.

Lele vomited blood several more times.

The blood, which was originally black, gradually changed to a normal color.

Seeing this, Jiang Li stopped.

I went up to her and touched Lele's forehead again.

Yes, there are no problems anymore.

Jiang Li turned and walked out, glancing at his wife who stood at the door, too afraid to come in.

"Master...Master..." The first wife looked at Jiang Li nervously, her voice trembling slightly, "Lele...Lele...is he...is he alright?"

She couldn't believe that her son, whose condition had been so serious before, was completely cured in such a short time.

"There's nothing seriously wrong now." Jiang Li patted his wife's shoulder. "But after all that trouble, she's still quite weak. With some rest, she'll be back to her old self in less than a month."

The wife was so moved that she couldn't help but cry, "Master, thank you so much..."

"No need to thank me." Jiang Li waved her hand. "You provide the money and I provide the labor. It's a simple monetary transaction between us, so just give me the money."

Original wife: "..."

Ten million is a lot, but to her, it is far less important than her son's life.

So how can simply giving her money express her feelings?

However, she transferred the money to Jiang Li decisively, while cautiously asking, "Master, where is your shop located? Or should I send you a banner?"

"No way." Jiang Li immediately waved her hand, her expression serious. "I can't afford to lose face like that."

Original wife: "..."

"The police are here." Jiang Li heard the police sirens outside. "Take your time to sort out your thoughts and think about how to tell the police what to do next."

"Okay, I understand."

Although she had never thought about this issue before, now that she had almost been ruined by that despicable couple, she would definitely not be merciful.

Although she hasn't been involved in business matters in recent years, but...

She used to be a decisive and ruthless businesswoman.

Therefore, after seeing reality clearly, there are some things that must be given up.

She also has a son, and she has to fight for him.

Jiang Li went outside and burned the things that Lu Shiyan had dug out from under the tree.

Soon, the dark clouds in the sky dissipated.

This trick was still at a beginner level for Jiang Li, and the way to break it was very simple.

The only difficulty is...

The blood sample was taken from that mistress.

Only her blood can quickly break the evil spell, which is why Jiang Li sent her over.

Otherwise, the difficulty of handling this matter would double.

Seeing that the police were about to arrive, Jiang Li checked her watch again. "It's 11:55. I've finished what I had to do. Now it's your own business."

Without looking at the man and his mistress's ashen faces, Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan left together.

As for all the troubles their family has...

All I can say is...

The effect of a cause is inevitable.
