“Perfect!” Jiang Lixuan’s pupils shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously reached out to grab the blood-red insect.
However, it was too fast, and Jiang Lixuan only managed to grab a handful of air. Feng Congqian reacted quickly and pulled Nan Yuanman behind him, protecting her with his body.
At the critical moment, Nan Yuanman's small satchel moved, and the small coffin flew behind Feng Congqian. He opened the coffin lid and swallowed the blood-red worm that had been launched at him.
After swallowing the blood-red worm, the small coffin emitted a human-like burp, and another crack in the coffin lid was repaired.
"Little Red!" Seeing the little coffin slowly flying back, Nan Yuanman quickly grabbed it and carefully checked it over. Only after confirming that it was alright did she breathe a sigh of relief: "That scared me to death."
Feng Congqian turned around, his face dark, and kicked Jiang Lixuan, who was also still in shock and had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Caught off guard, Jiang Lixuan was kicked to the ground. Before he could even react, Feng Congqian strode forward, grabbed him by the collar, and lifted him up, his face dark and menacing: "Speak! Who sent you to harm Yuanman?!"
Jiang Lixuan's face turned pale with pain. He subconsciously looked at Nan Yuanman and hurriedly explained, "I didn't! Yuanman, I don't know what happened! I absolutely didn't mean to harm you! You have to believe me!"
"Ha! Do you even believe that yourself? I saw it clearly just now, those red worms came out of the thermos you brought!" Feng Congqian sneered.
If Jiang Lixuan came to find Yuanman, and his first action wasn't to apologize but to hand her the thermos...
Feng Congqian dared not even imagine what would happen if things were perfect now.
The Jiang family is truly ruthless and vicious!
"I..." Jiang Lixuan wanted to explain, but the image of Jiang Tianzong telling him to bring rock sugar stewed pears flashed through his mind. The color in his lips disappeared completely, and his throat felt like it was blocked by a big rock, so he couldn't say a word.
"It seems you've remembered something." Feng Congqian took in Jiang Lixuan's expression, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and released his grip on Jiang Lixuan's collar.
Jiang Lixuan slumped to the ground like a piece of rotten flesh, muttering incredulously, "But... how could this be? How could he dare to harm Yuanman?"
He was a perfectly healthy maternal grandfather!
However, when Jiang Lixuan recalled the reason why Jiang Tianzong brought Nan Yuanman back to the Jiang family, he felt that there was nothing he couldn't do.
Jiang Lixuan looked up at Nan Yuanman in a daze. Nan Yuanman was holding a small coffin and looking at him warily.
He was stung by the wariness on Nan Yuanman's face. He opened his mouth, his voice dry, and said, "It's... Jiang Tianzong."
“Yuanman, you must be careful of Jiang Tianzong. He secretly knows a master, and it was that master who gave him the idea to bring you back to the Jiang family.”
"Based on some information he previously revealed, I only know that the master is very powerful, but I don't know what his intentions are towards you. In short... you should be careful."
As Jiang Lixuan spoke, he lowered his head deeply, not daring to look at Nan Yuanman at all: "And what happened before... about your mother... I'm sorry, I was stupid and trusted outsiders too easily."
"I'm really... I'm sorry, I... I regret it."
He regretted not listening to Bai Wenying's explanation properly at the time, and regretted not treating Nan Yuanman well when he went to pick her up.
Having said that, he was too ashamed to stay in front of Nan Yuanman any longer. He picked up the empty thermos, staggered, and turned to leave.
He was going to find Jiang Tianzong and ask him why he was so cruel to Nan Yuanman. Wasn't she his own granddaughter?
Does he want to ruin the entire Jiang family to be happy?
Nan Yuanman's mind was completely elsewhere; she wasn't paying attention to Jiang Lixuan's later words of regret. She looked up at Feng Congqian, her round face unusually serious: "Uncle Feng, could you send someone to the Jiang family to look for that so-called master? I suspect that master is a big bad guy!"
“Okay.” Feng Congqian made a phone call to Feng Xingchi, who quickly led his men to the Jiang family villa and ransacked it before the head of the Jiang family returned.
Butler Li was immediately subdued by the bodyguards, giving Jiang Tianzong and his group no chance to warn them.
After searching the Jiang family villa, Feng Xingchi couldn't find the master his sister had mentioned. He grabbed a servant at random and asked, "Besides this place, where else does the Jiang family own property?"
Qiu Shi stammered nervously, "I...I don't know, but I...I..."
She glanced cautiously in the direction of Butler Li and lowered her voice, saying, "Before the Lunar New Year, I heard the master say that he was taking the young master and the others back to the Jiang family's old house to pay respects to their ancestors. Perhaps someone is still living there..."
Feng Xingchi raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected that the Jiang family, this small but wealthy family, would still have their old house.
"Let's go, first find out where the Jiang family's old residence is, and take more people with us." Feng Xingchi waved his hand and left with his bodyguards.
The servants of the Jiang family naturally saw today's live broadcast as well. They remained completely silent about Qiu Shi's leak, and after Feng Xingchi left, they all went to Butler Li to resign.
Qiu Shi was one of them. She wanted to stay in the Jiang family because of her savior, Nan Yuanman. Little did she know that the Jiang family was a den of demons and treated Nan Yuanman very badly.
Now that Nanmanyuan has left, she naturally has to leave too.
Butler Li looked several years older, sighed heavily, and didn't make things difficult for them. After settling their wages, he let them go.
Qiu Shi couldn't bear it and couldn't help but say before leaving, "Butler Li, the Jiang family is not a good place. You are getting old now, you should retire and rest as soon as possible."
Butler Li treats all the servants very well, although he is a bit strict, he always tries to get them their annual benefits.
"Let me think about it," Butler Li said with a smile after a moment of silence.
In less than half a day, the once bustling Jiang family home became unusually quiet. All the servants resigned, leaving only the housekeeper, Li, to stay at home.
At the same time, a muffled thud came from a secluded room in the Jiang family's old house.
The elderly man, sitting cross-legged in front of the incense table, his upper body bare and his figure thin, slowly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on the broken jar in front of him.
The clay dolls made of clay inside the jar were already broken into pieces.
"Failed again... It seems that Jiang Tianzong, that fool, can't be trusted." The old man looked thoughtfully at the shattered clay doll, then slowly stood up, the totems on his body shifting strangely with his movements.
He knelt before the jar, reaching out to pick up the shattered clay doll. As if sensing something, his rough fingers flew into a rapid calculation, his face growing increasingly grim: "Heaven above, Wind below, Heaven Wind Encounter..."
That good-for-nothing Jiang Tianzong, not only did he fail, but he also exposed him!
This place is no longer safe to stay.
The old man decisively packed up the important items in the room, opened the window, jumped out, and quickly ran into the dense forest behind the mountain, disappearing from sight.
No sooner had he left than Feng Xingchi led his men to the Jiang family's old residence.
Meanwhile, Jiang Tianzong, who was slowly waking up in the hospital, received a message from his men who had stayed at the old house: "What did you say?! The Feng family has gone to the old house?!"
Could it be... that Jiang Lixuan successfully got Nan Yuanman to drink the liquid?!
