"Oh, you're here to ask me for news!"
Wen Xi said in a good mood, "We haven't caught him yet. Zhai Wujiang is the Western Ghost Emperor after all, with outstanding strength. He has been planning for a hundred years. How could he surrender so quickly? But don't worry, if the Five Ghost Emperors expose him as a traitor, the remaining Ghost Emperors will definitely join forces to catch him. He is now trapped. Unless he has other extraordinary means, it is only a matter of time before he is captured."
"Qin Sheng is now staying at home, seemingly at peace, but I'm worried..."
"Just keep an eye on Qin Sheng and the others. The underworld will naturally handle Zhai Wujiang's affairs. Everyone should do their job and take care of the people or ghosts in their respective areas."
"If that's the case, then it couldn't be better. We've already done our best to suppress the matter of Knok Manor. We're still trying to find a way to remove the marks on those wealthy people. And then there's... the matter of Patriarch Xiao!"
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is Xiao Changyi here with you?"
Ling Feng said, "Well, Xiao Shaoyan and you are somewhat acquainted. He is not in a good mental state now. Do you want to go see him?"
"Alright, there's still some entanglement between Xiao Changyi and Zou Zheng. If they don't see each other again, they might be gone forever."
Wen Xi thought for a moment and made a decision.
Ling Feng brought her to a room. When they opened the door, they saw Xiao Changyi who was tied up, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
Xiao Shaoyan had been sitting next to him. The handsome boy who used to be like a cartoon now had an unshaven beard and looked quite disheveled.
"His health is already depleted, and he won't live much longer. Xiao Shaoyan, please accept my condolences!"
Wen Xi glanced at Xiao Changyi. His soul was gradually separating from his body. With just one glance, he knew that he would not live long.
Xiao Shaoyan raised his head suddenly, his eyes filled with gloomy anger. When he saw that the person coming was Wen Xi, he was stunned for a moment, and the anger in his eyes dissipated and turned into mist.
"Wen Xi, why are you here?"
His voice was so hoarse.
"Ling Feng told me you were here, so I came to see you."
Wen Xi said, "For a case like this where you're haunted by a ghost, only the Special Management Bureau can help you."
Xiao Shaoyan's eyes dimmed considerably, and he said weakly, "The Special Management Bureau can't do anything. What they said is no different from what you said. His physical condition is irreversible. His organs are failing, his mind is blurry, and he even has trouble talking to me."
"But I have always held onto hope. I hope he can tell me who hurt him like this. If possible, I will definitely help him get revenge!"
There was hatred in Xiao Shaoyan's eyes.
"Xiao Shaoyan, I can help you dispel the five evil spirits from his body, but once the evil spirits escape, your father will only have one breath left. I can only help you buy half an hour!"
Wen Xi sighed softly, "In half an hour, his body will be completely unable to support it. You should think about it carefully."
Xiao Shaoyan's breathing slowed down, and he looked at Xiao Changyi hesitantly, only to find that Xiao Changyi had opened his eyes and was looking at him at some point, with a look of impending relief in his eyes. He even curved his lips into a smile and nodded at him with difficulty.
Xiao Shaoyan's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Wen Xi, please help me!"
"Um!"
Wen Xi walked forward and pointed his finger between Xiao Changyi's eyebrows.
A golden light disappeared into his forehead. Xiao Changyi widened his eyes and screamed in pain.
The five evil spirits were chased by the golden light and quickly fled from Xiao Changyi's body, but were suppressed in the corner by Wen Xi.
“Cough cough cough…”
Xiao Changyi coughed violently and vomited a large mouthful of black blood.
"dad!"
Xiao Shaoyan's face turned pale and he shouted in panic.
"It's okay, Shao Yan. I'm fine now."
Xiao Changyi regained his voice, raised his head and put on a forced smile, patting his shoulder to comfort him.
"dad!"
Xiao Shaoyan shouted excitedly and hugged him.
"This Miss Wen said, I only have half an hour left, please let me take a good look at you."
Xiao Changyi looked at him lovingly, "When you grow up, when dad is gone, you must shoulder the Xiao family's business, understand?"
Tears streamed from Xiao Shaoyan's eyes, and he asked excitedly, "Dad, who on earth made you like this?"
Xiao Changyi's eyes darkened, and he shook his head and said, "No one hurt me. We accidentally entered the underground tomb and were trapped by a trap, which led to the encounter of a fierce ghost. When I saw you unconscious, I thought of leading the fierce ghost away, but I didn't expect something like this to happen later."
"Really? Then Zou Zheng said that it was Patriarch Xiao who took his jade seal. How does that contradict what you said?"
Wen Xi stared at him, feeling that what Xiao Changyi said was a little unbelievable.
"Zou Zheng? Jade seal?"
Xiao Changyi frowned, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Wen Xi called out, "Zou Zheng, come out."
A wisp of black smoke emerged from the ancient bronze coin. Zou Zheng waved his long sleeves and stood tall in the room. He looked at Xiao Changyi sharply and ruthlessly with his upturned eyes, narrowed his eyes, and looked unfriendly.
"It was you who stole my imperial seal!"
"Me? I don't have any!"
Xiao Changyi suddenly had a splitting headache. "I was haunted by a ghost at that time. I really don't remember anything. I don't remember taking your jade seal."
"Huh, that's really funny. It was clearly you I saw!"
Zou Zheng snorted coldly, and his five fingers formed into claws. With a force, he pulled Xiao Changyi up from the hospital bed and flew into the air!
"Zou Zheng, let my dad go. If he says no, then it's definitely not true. There's no reason for him to lie to you!"
Xiao Shaoyan's eyes turned cold and he clenched his fists. At this moment, he wished he could generate spiritual power or ghost energy to fight against him!
And in a place he couldn't see, changes also occurred around Xiao Shaoyan!
"Zou Zheng, put him down. His body can't withstand any more torture."
After Wen Xi gave the order, Zou Zheng curled his lips and let the person go back.
"There is indeed no trace of the jade seal on him, but I am sure that he was the one who took my jade seal away. He might have hidden it somewhere."
Zou Zheng was also certain that the man and the ghost each had their own opinions.
"Nock Manor never saw your jade seal. Forget it... Xiao Changyi's body can't hold on any longer. When a man is about to die, his words are true. I believe he really didn't take your jade seal. Even if you saw it with your own eyes, perhaps... there might be some hidden secret."
Wen Xi looked at Xiao Changyi deeply and spoke for him, but Xiao Changyi avoided her gaze and stood up with difficulty.
"I have something to say to my son. Please give us some space."
Xiao Changyi said politely.
"good!"
Wen Xi retracted his gaze, shrugged, hooked his finger, pulled the five evil spirits, and told Zou Zheng to leave the ward.
