Chapter 015: Borrowing a Knife to Kill Someone

[It turned out to be my best friend’s dad? This is really unexpected! 】

[But it makes sense when you think about it. Compared to her best friend, her father is more experienced. Besides, people who do business like this are very superstitious, so it’s not surprising that they would cast spells.]

[What kind of person is this best friend’s father? He asks for help with tears in one second, and then he gives him a life-borrowing charm the next second?! ]

Zeng Li was stunned for a full twenty seconds before she spoke: "You mean... her father planned all this? But my uncle has always been very good to me. We have known each other for more than 20 years. He often treats me to meals and gives me red envelopes..."

Zeng Li wanted to defend him, but Bai Mian interrupted her: "These are just small favors. A businessman values ​​his own interests the most. Your best friend's father only has this one daughter. In this matter, the only thing he cares about is his only daughter. In order to protect his daughter, he is willing to pay any price, even if it means killing someone."

"Murder? How dare he do that!" Zeng Li licked her lips. "We live in a society ruled by law now. Even if he is the boss, he has to abide by the law!"

"So," Bai Mian propped his chin up with his hand, "he wants to kill someone with someone else's knife."

Zeng Li frowned: "He used the Phoenix Man to kill me? We don't have any deep hatred, why did he want to kill me?"

"On the contrary," Bai Mian raised his voice, "I used your knife to kill the Phoenix Man."

"How could I kill someone?" Zeng Li wondered.

Bai Mian: "You won't kill anyone, but if the Phoenix Man succeeds in his attempt to kill you, he will be sentenced to death, and in this way, her father's goal will be achieved."

Zeng Li imagined this possibility, and fear instantly appeared on her face: "If I die, and Fenghuangnan is sentenced to death, his family will no longer have any worries. It was originally an emotional conflict in their family, but I was the only one hurt, and his daughter was unharmed..."

"That's right," Bai Mian began to analyze further, "Your best friend's father has been in business all the way until now, and he has seen countless people. He is already a seasoned man. When you advised your best friend to break up, he had foreseen the reaction of the Phoenix Man after being dumped. In order to completely get rid of this Phoenix Man, he made a series of plans."

"He knew that Phoenix Man would definitely find this house, so he immediately arranged for his daughter to travel to Jiangnan to free up the house, and then suggested that his daughter invite you to live there. At the same time, he anonymously sent the recording to Phoenix Man, causing him to transfer all his hatred to you."

Zeng Li heard this and started to vomit, "How could someone be so sinister? When I was trying to persuade my best friend to break up, her father was recording the conversation at the door. I feel like vomiting when I think of this scene. It's so disgusting, so disgusting!"

Bai Mian waited quietly for Zeng Li to calm down before continuing, "Fenghuang Man is a stubborn person who will not stop until he achieves his goal. In order to find your best friend, he has harassed many employees in the company and even stalked your best friend's father. This behavior has seriously affected their family's normal life."

"Her father knew that even if he called the police and they arrested him, he would be released again after a while. For a person like this, there is only one way to get rid of him completely -"

"Let him disappear from this world."

Although they already knew the truth of the matter, when Bai Mian said this again, everyone present shuddered.

Zeng Li finally accepted the fact and began to think along the lines provided by Bai Mian: "Yes, the life-borrowing talisman under the doormat was also placed by him. Although he had already planned everything and made so many arrangements, he was still afraid that his plan would fail. In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, he used metaphysical means and asked someone to write this talisman and hid it in front of my door so that I could step on it every day when I went in and out."

"This house belongs to my best friend. The facial recognition system at the door of the unit must have also recorded her father's face. It would be easy for him to come in."

Bai Mian smiled and continued, "In the end, he made things worse. It was precisely because of this talisman that you left the capital and came to Qingshui Town to find me."

Zeng Li held the talisman tightly in her palm: "So, I have to thank this talisman. It was thanks to it that I was able to discover this conspiracy!"

Bai Mian: "It's not your destiny. If you were still recovering at home today, your life would have ended today. It's because you left that house that you were able to spend today safely."

"What does this mean?" Zeng Li didn't understand.

"The house you live in is being set on fire," Bai Mian looked down at the time, "If you call the building manager now, you can put a stop to the fire in time."

Zeng Li was so scared that she quickly called the administrator. The situation was just as Bai Mian said. The administrator reported the fire and assisted the firefighters in putting out the fire. They also caught the Phoenix Man who set the fire not far away and sent him to the police station.

After investigation, the police found arson tools on the Phoenix man and determined that he had committed arson. He has now been detained and is awaiting trial by the court.

After receiving a call from the manager reporting that everyone was safe, Zeng Li and everyone in the house breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they discovered the fire early and the fire did not cause any casualties.

After hanging up the phone, Zeng Li looked at the life-borrowing talisman written in black on the yellow paper.

"Master, the Phoenix Man has been captured, and the matter is over. Will this curse continue to follow me in the future?"

Bai Mian took the talisman from Zeng Li's hand and gently tore it in half:

"Don't worry, this talisman has no effect from the beginning. Her father wanted to find someone from the Taoist sect to draw the talisman, but the master he found was a liar and had no real skills. The fake master just saw the pattern of the life-borrowing talisman in an ancient book, and then used chicken blood to draw a talisman according to the pattern. It looks full of evil spirits, but it's actually a bluff."

"Mysterious methods like this are only useful when used by people with real cultivation. The talismans written by ordinary people are nothing more than a piece of waste paper."

Zeng Li breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I feel relieved, thank you Master, thank you Master!"

"The Phoenix Man was caught, but the best friend's father actually got away with it. How despicable!" Gao Jinyi said angrily, "We should call the police and catch him as well!"

"What reason do you have to call the police?" Bai Mian asked back, "His conspiracy did not violate the law. Even if Zeng Li was really killed by the Phoenix Man, he can say that he was just kind enough to lend the house to Zeng Li and didn't expect that she was killed by mistake."

This question stumped Gao Jin. Gao Jin hesitated and could not answer. Weng Xuhua sighed: "Alas, this is indeed a cunning plan. It makes it almost impossible for people to fight back through legitimate means. People are treacherous. In life, safety is the most important thing. Especially for young people like you who go out, you must protect yourself. It is always right to be more vigilant in everything."

Everyone felt sorry for Zeng Li, and seemed to have tacitly accepted that she had no choice but to swallow this loss. Zeng Li suddenly bit her lip, slapped the table and said:

"Who said I can't do anything to him? I have some information about him!"
