On the other side.
Compared to being constantly bothered by a few annoying people in S City, Nan Yuanman's days in Beijing were quite peaceful and enjoyable.
Feeling compensating, Meng Qingwan took her out shopping and having fun every day. If it weren't for Feng Congqian waiting at home, they could have stayed out for three or four days without coming back.
Feng Congqian was initially worried that Nan Yuanman wouldn't be used to life in the capital. Seeing how well she integrated, he felt a little relieved. However, when he saw Nan Yuanman being close to Meng Qingwan, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
The Feng family members were also busy with various things and couldn't accompany Nan Yuanman often. With Meng Qingwan around, Nan Yuanman wouldn't feel lonely.
This enormous manor also benefited Nan Yuanman. At night, when everyone was asleep, she would find a secluded spot and let Old Master Nan out to absorb the essence of the moon.
Xiaocao and Zhuangzhuang also have a place to play and laugh, but... it's not very nice for the servants who get up to use the toilet at night.
After playing wildly for half a month, Nan Yuanman transformed from a short, stocky little boy into a solid ball of flesh.
Feng Langqing also finished his work and rushed back to the capital. As soon as he arrived at the manor, he shouted, "Yuanman! Third Brother is back!"
Nan Yuanman hadn't seen Feng Langqing for a long time, and she ran out happily: "Third Brother!"
The brother and sister hugged each other excitedly. Feng Langqing picked her up and weighed her up and down: "Oh my, you've gotten quite a bit heavier!"
Nan Yuanman hugged his neck and giggled.
Feng Congqian, dressed in a gray casual outfit, glanced at him indifferently and said, "Be careful not to drop her."
"Don't worry, you won't fall. By the way, Dad," Feng Langqing hugged Nan Yuanman and looked at Feng Congqian, "When are we going to have a family reunion banquet?"
He had already started planning when he saw the family reunion banquet held by the Jiang family in S City. He wanted everyone to know that he had a lovely younger sister!
No one in the capital can bully her!
Feng Congqian also looked at Nan Yuanman. He really wanted to hold a family reunion banquet, but he was afraid that Nan Yuanman would have a psychological trauma from it. He hesitated and asked, "Yuanman, what do you think?"
“Sure!” Nan Yuanman nodded her little head.
The Feng family isn't the Jiang family; they wouldn't do something so shameful. This family reunion banquet will definitely be different from the Jiang family's.
Although she hasn't started calling him "Dad" yet, her relationship with Feng Congqian is pretty much like that of a normal father and daughter.
Feng Congqian's eyes lit up, suppressing his excitement: "I'll check the auspicious dates in the next couple of days and start preparing!"
"What are you talking about?" Meng Qingwan's clear voice came from behind Feng Langqing, and he turned around and called out to her.
Meng Qingwan greeted him, rubbed her hands together, and happily snatched Nan Yuanman from his arms, rubbing her face against his and saying, "Oh, Yuanman, I missed you so much!"
Nan Yuanman chuckled, stared at her curiously for a while, and asked, "Aunt Qingwan, did you go to the hospital?"
“Nothing can be hidden from you, little fairy.” Meng Qingwan tapped her nose and said with a strange expression, “Meng Linlin’s eyes are ruined and she’s gone mad. She insists that a ghost is haunting her.”
She went to the hospital this time because her "good" father called her frantically, scolding her for not keeping a close eye on Nan Yuanman, allowing Nan Yuanman to push Meng Linlin down, causing Meng Linlin to go blind. He demanded that she come up with a solution immediately, or he would personally go to Feng Congqian's house to demand it.
Meng Qingwan then took her bodyguards to the hospital and staged a dramatic scene of trapping and beating Meng Ruixiang, leaving him speechless and utterly humiliated.
However, she visited Meng Linlin before leaving the hospital. Meng Linlin was indeed blind in both eyes. It was said that she had sleepwalked in the middle of the night and stuck the chopsticks from the bedside table into her eyes.
If the nurses hadn't discovered her in time during rounds, she would have bled to death long ago.
Not only that, after being revived, she started making a huge scene in the ward, shouting and yelling that there were ghosts in the hospital! She said that ghosts were haunting her! She wouldn't allow anyone to get close to her, and when Chen Siyun tried to calm her down, she scratched her face.
Meng Qingwan suddenly remembered that before Meng Linlin came, Nan Yuanman had said that a young man had tripped her. She couldn't help but look at Nan Yuanman and asked in a low voice, "Yuanman, could it be that... there really is someone... by her side?"
Nan Yuanman nodded: "Yes."
Meng Qingwan felt a sudden chill run down her spine and couldn't help but hug Nan Yuanman tightly.
Nan Yuanman patted her arm reassuringly: "Don't worry, you don't have anyone with you."
"There was indeed a male ghost following behind that older sister named Meng Linlin. There was a strong causal connection between the male ghost and her, and it is estimated that his death was related to her."
Nan Yuanman said, "The male ghost had his eyes gouged out, and his body had many cuts from blades. His legs and hands were twisted. He must have suffered a lot of torment in his life to have such great resentment to support him as a ghost to take revenge."
"He'll leave after he gets his revenge! He won't harm anyone else."
Meng Qingwan couldn't help but ask, "Then aren't you going to help, Xiao Yuanman? For people in your line of work, isn't it your responsibility to slay demons and monsters?"
"No, I don't know how others do it, but Grandpa said that our family has three rules for not saving people: we don't save those who are not destined to help us, we don't save those who are immoral, and we don't save those who are extremely wicked."
“Meng Linlin is not my friend and has committed a great evil, so I will not save her.”
Feng Langqing glanced at Meng Qingwan: "Mom, you don't mean to ask Yuanman to help her, do you?"
Meng Qingwan rolled her eyes in annoyance: "Am I the kind of person who repays evil with kindness?" She wished Meng Linlin, Chen Siyun, and her heartless father would be dead right now, okay? Save them? Save my ass!
"Then let's leave her be and think about how to arrange the family reunion banquet and who to invite." Feng Langqing rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Let alone the others, shouldn't we at least call Zining, Yanxiu, and Jingcheng back?" Meng Qingwan put the Meng family aside, her eyebrows furrowed, somewhat displeased: "Yuanman has been back for half a month, and I haven't seen those three older brothers come back to see him."
"Feng Zining is abroad on business, and Yanxiu is probably still enjoying his romance with his bunch of girls. As for Jingcheng, I messaged him but he didn't reply. I wonder where he's off to." Feng Langqing pouted and took out his phone to call Feng Jingcheng when Feng Zining called first.
"Third Brother." As soon as he answered the phone, Feng Zining's slightly tired and anxious voice came through: "Do you know where Jingcheng went? I called him but he didn't answer, and he didn't reply to my messages either."
"He hasn't replied to your messages either?" Feng Langqing frowned, a bad feeling rising in his heart: "He hasn't replied to my messages either. Don't worry, I'll have my second brother look for him."
As he spoke, he looked up at Feng Congqian, who immediately sent a message to Feng Xingchi.
Feng Zining took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "He used to ask me for money every ten days, but now half a month has passed. After I finished my work, I found out that he hasn't contacted me or my assistant for the past two weeks. Third Brother, Jingcheng may have gotten into trouble!"
He had barely finished speaking when Feng Xingchi's message arrived. The last place Feng Jingcheng was found to be in was Shangjing Hospital, after which he vanished without a trace, as if he had evaporated into thin air.
The others present sensed something was wrong. Meng Qingwan immediately contacted people to search, and Feng Langqing called his friends for help. Feng Congqian methodically arranged for people to search.
The initially relaxed atmosphere gradually turned serious. Nan Yuanman looked around, then raised her little hand and asked, "Um... do you have his personal clothing or birth date and time? Maybe I can help you find him!"
Feng Zining was stunned when he heard the childish voice, while Feng Langqing's eyes lit up and he immediately told Nan Yuanman Feng Jingcheng's birth date and time.
Nan Yuanman quickly calculated Feng Jingcheng's birth date and time. His round face instantly turned serious. He turned around, grabbed his small satchel, and ran out, shouting as he ran: "The divination shows that he is in the southeast direction. The southeast direction is the proper position of Kan water, which is the location of the ghost gate. Water entering the earth, yin and yang intertwined, is an omen of being haunted by evil spirits!"
"Third brother, his condition is not good! Come with me quickly to save him! He'll die if we're even half a day late!"
