As soon as the phone call ended, Nan Yuanman couldn't sit still any longer. She jumped out of Feng Yuli's arms and ran out in a hurry, cursing under her breath: "Bastard, scoundrel, shameless!"
They actually used her mother's grave and the villagers of Batang Village to threaten her! Shameless! Utterly shameless!
Feng Yuli quickly grabbed the little dumpling by the collar: "Yuanman, wait a minute."
"Big brother, I can't wait!" Nan Yuanman twisted her hands into a pretzel in her anxiety. "I'm afraid if we're late, Mom's grave will be dug up! And what about the uncles and aunts in Batang Village..."
"Big brother, please let me go!"
Feng Yuli was somewhat amused and exasperated: "Big brother didn't mean to stop you from leaving, it's just that you can't go to S City alone."
"She just deliberately used your aunt's grave and the lives of innocent people in Batang Village to threaten you, making you care and go alone. Once you go, you'll fall into her trap."
Feng Yuli said, "You need to find help."
"Isn't Bureau 908 specifically responsible for handling these kinds of issues? Have them send someone to go with you."
To avoid encountering a trap and being unable to escape alone.
Feng Yuli earnestly taught her: "Yuanman, you must learn to ask adults for help and make use of all available resources."
The Feng family was unmatched in power and status in the capital, but they were ultimately just ordinary people, and their help to Nan Yuanman in these mysterious events was always limited.
Bureau 908 is a good helper.
Even if Manyuan doesn't intend to join Bureau 908, they still need to maintain a good relationship with Bureau 908.
Nan Yuanman suddenly understood: "I get it, I'll send a message to Sister Xue Liu right now!"
Feng Yuli: "We can make the matter sound more serious, so that it can attract the attention of Bureau 908."
Nan Yuanman nodded emphatically, opened Zhong Xueliu's chat window, pressed voice, and blurted out a bombshell: "Sister Xueliu, something terrible has happened! A wicked ghost in S City is going to massacre the entire village!"

Meanwhile, in a hospital ward in City S.
Ge Peiyao lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, showing no reaction to Jiang Hengzhi and Jiang Lixuan who came in through the door.
For her, what has happened these past few days feels like a dream.
Just a month later, the Jiang family fell apart. Her former lover cheated on her with her adopted daughter and even had a daughter behind her back.
Unaware of the truth, she acted like a fool, taking meticulous care of the illegitimate daughter for many years, and even wanted the life of her real, biological granddaughter for her sake.
He even drove his own biological daughter to her death because of his adopted daughter who climbed into his bed.
Ge Peiyao hated Jiang Tianzong, but she hated herself even more.
She hated herself for being so blinded by greed, for not investigating the truth when Bai Wenying clashed with Jiang Yueyao, and for hastily convicting Bai Wenying.
Filled with anger and hatred, Ge Peiyao chose to vent her anger on Jiang Tianzong. She was even prepared to be entangled with Jiang Tianzong for the rest of her life.
But... how did he die?
How did Jiang Tianzong die?
With the culprit dead, Ge Peiyao didn't know who to hate for a moment.
She wanted to find Nan Yuanman and mend their relationship, but she simply didn't have the face to do so.
Her daughter died, her husband died, and her granddaughter hated her.
Ge Peiyao's eyes were vacant, her heart felt as if it had sunk into water, making it hard for her to breathe. She couldn't help but think, what if... what if she hadn't adopted Jiang Yueyao in the first place.
If she had treated Bai Wenying well when she first found her, wouldn't so many things have been avoided?
Ge Peiyao had always thought of herself as someone who never regretted her moves, but now, she truly felt regret.
She clutched her chest, gasping for breath, tears streaming down her face. She wanted to cry, to scream, but her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, and she couldn't make a sound.
"Tsk tsk tsk, what hypocritical tears." A shrill child's voice suddenly rang out, startling Ge Peiyao. Through her teary eyes, she turned her head and saw Jiang Hengzhi sitting on the cot, looking at her with amusement, and Jiang Lixuan standing expressionlessly beside him.
At first, she thought she had misheard, and asked him in a hoarse voice, "Hengzhi, was it you who was speaking just now?"
Jiang Hengzhi chuckled, ignoring her question, and moved closer to the bedside, looking down at her intently.
Ge Peiyao felt extremely uncomfortable under his gaze, which was as if he were inspecting goods. She frowned and said, "What are you doing? Why are you looking at Mom like that—!"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Hengzhi grabbed her chin and twisted her face from side to side: "This face should be able to fool that little bitch."
The high-pitched child's voice made Ge Peiyao's eyes widen instantly, and a look of horror appeared on her face: "You're not Hengzhi! Who are you?!"
Jiang Hengzhi still ignored her, placed his hand on her face, and muttered to himself, "I originally thought the Jiang family were all useless, but now it seems that's not entirely true. Your face should be of great help to me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a red mist surged from his palm and quickly covered Ge Peiyao's face.
The sickening chewing sounds, accompanied by Ge Peiyao's screams, echoed in the ward.
Standing behind Jiang Hengzhi, Jiang Lixuan's originally expressionless face showed a struggle and pain. His eyes flickered as he stared intently at Ge Peiyao, who was struggling and writhing on the hospital bed, and let out a low, inhuman growl.
The next second, Jiang Lixuan slammed into Jiang Hengzhi's back, knocking him to the other side. He clung tightly to Jiang Hengzhi's waist, his face flushed, veins bulging on his forehead, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Quick, go!"
Ge Peiyao covered her face, fell off the hospital bed, and stumbled and crawled as she ran outside.
"hateful!"
Jiang Hengzhi's face was terribly gloomy. He slapped Jiang Lixuan hard on the back, and Jiang Lixuan spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground.
Jiang Hengzhi didn't chase after them. He raised his hand, looked at the cloud of blood mist in his palm, and examined it carefully: "It's alright, half is enough."
"It's you."
'Jiang Hengzhi' dragged Jiang Lixuan toward the bathroom: 'You ruined my good time. As for the other half, you can use your face to make up for it.'
At the same time, Ge Peiyao's running out also caught the attention of the nurse on duty. Seeing the large pools of blood on her hospital gown, she screamed and rushed over: "Madam, are you alright?"
Ge Peiyao trembled all over in pain. She slowly removed her hands from her face, revealing a face that was now just a patch of skin: "The...the ward..."
She only managed to say those few words before she fainted from the pain.
The unsuspecting nurse was startled by her face and, seeing that she was unconscious, quickly ran to call the doctor.
The quiet hospital ward suddenly became noisy.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Jiang Hengzhi led Jiang Lixuan away from the hospital and drove to Batang Village.
At the same time, Nan Yuanman and the team members from Bureau 908 who were sent to help her also boarded a plane to City S.
