Chapter 117 Returning to the Capital
"..." Ye Ran was still in shock.
Lu Yi continued his analysis: "Look, hasn't the Xu family started having problems ever since that time they fell into the water?"
Furthermore, Yun Hao said that it was on that very day that He Wen collapsed to the ground, vomiting blood, in front of everyone.
All of this is probably some kind of evil magic.
The person who made these things must be He Wen...
This doll, placed in the Xu family, was probably meant to absorb something from you, but because of the jade pendant, you were given a second life.
Because of this, He Wen's puppets can no longer control you, and over the years they have absorbed a lot from you. Now that you are stronger, they are beginning to suffer the backlash..."
"Really?" Ye Ran still couldn't believe it. Could there really be such an evil magic in this world?
However, considering that I was able to be reborn and that there was the matter of Master Wu, then these things really do seem to be possible...
Lu Yi sighed heavily, "This is just my rough guess..."
However, it is indeed highly likely...
Ye Ran nodded. "Xu Xiaocao's behavior was also strange just now, ever since she brought this doll to me last night."
Things have been really strange since I arrived today..."
"It seems she was also affected by something..." Lu Yi's gaze turned to the doll.
"How about... we take it apart and take a look..." Ye Ran asked tentatively.
“Okay!” Lu Yi agreed immediately.
Looking at it, the two felt somewhat uncomfortable. Seeing that no one was around, they went directly into the space.
This is their territory; they feel more at ease here.
Lu Yi took out a small knife from his pocket and, under Ye Ran's tense gaze, slashed open the cloth doll...
In the instant the slit was cut open, in a hospital in Beijing, the electrocardiogram machine in a special care ward emitted a piercing alarm...
Meanwhile, at the police station, Xu Qingyan suddenly screamed a few times and fainted...
After cutting open the doll, Lu Yi gently poked inside with a knife and discovered a small note hidden inside.
Lu Yi took it out and unfolded it to look at it. There was a string of symbols and numbers written on it in some kind of ink...
Ye Ran was stunned when she saw it. "This...this is my birthday..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi frowned immediately. "It seems that, just as we suspected, this thing is meant to be used against you..."
Now that you're no longer under your control, this thing is useless..."
Ye Ran felt a chill run down her spine. "What kind of person would do something like this?!"
"Shall we burn it right away?"
Lu Yi nodded, took out a match, and lit the cloth doll.
In the firelight, the doll was quickly ignited, and Lu Yi casually tossed the note into the flames as well.
Only when they saw that both items had been burned to ashes did the two of them feel a little relieved.
Ye Ran touched the goosebumps on her body, "You said..."
"Will this kind of thing never appear again?"
Lu Yi reassured her by pulling her into his arms, "Don't be afraid!"
This kind of thing won't happen again. He Yun is just barely clinging to life now, so we don't need to worry about him anymore.
Besides, now that you have your own spatial ability and the protection of the jade pendant, if anyone else dares to do such a thing, they'll most likely end up like He Yun!
Ye Ran finally felt relieved, but Lu Yi said to her in a deep voice, "Ranran, you and Brother Hou should separate right away!"
Ye Ran looked up. "What's wrong?"
Lu Yi stroked her hair. "Yesterday, I discussed it with my grandfather, and we decided that I should go back to Beijing first to test the waters."
"I'm worried something might happen to you when I leave, so please stay home and prepare your documents. I'll take them with you to Beijing."
Ye Ran listened to his words and felt that this was indeed a very important matter, so she agreed.
After they left the space, they went straight to Hou Zhiqiang's house. The group made some desserts together one last time, and then Ye Ran shared her thoughts.
"Big brother, big sister, I'm sorry. I've had some things to take care of lately, so I probably won't be able to come over anytime soon..."
Ji Yin asked with some concern, "What's wrong? Do you need our help?"
Ye Ran shook her head, "No need, it's nothing serious."
"Well... I'm preparing for the college entrance exam..."
Hou Zhiqiang and his wife immediately understood and agreed without forcing the issue.
Ye Ran was deeply moved. Since her rebirth, she had been very lucky, but her greatest fortune was meeting so many kind people.
She took out the "secret recipe" that she had prepared with Lu Yi beforehand. "Big brother, sister, this is my secret recipe. It contains some Chinese herbs, so it's very good for your health."
But because the recipe needs to be kept secret, everything has been ground into powder. From now on, just use a ratio of one spoonful of powder to one pound of ingredients, and you don't need to add anything else.
"That's great, then Qiangzi and I will save ourselves some trouble." Ji Yin smiled as she accepted the package Ye Ran handed her.
Then, Ye Ran spent a lot of time teaching them how to make many kinds of desserts before leaving with Lu Yi.
Back near Willow Leaf Village, the two entered the space again in a secluded spot; they still had things to look at...
After entering the space, Ye Ran took out the letter that Xu Xiaocao had intercepted years ago.
Upon opening it, I found it was still sent by that woman named Chunxiang.
The letter still expressed his admiration for Xu Qiang, followed by greetings to Xu Qingyan. Only the last sentence made both of them pause in surprise…
The last sentence reads, "Did your son like the doll I brought him last time?"
That doll was sewn by me stitch by stitch. I can't watch my son grow up, but it's like an embodiment of myself...
I hope... it can stay by his bedside forever, so I can keep looking at him a few more times...
"Brother Qiang, you must make sure your son puts it by his bedside!"
Upon seeing this, both of them thought of a possibility, "This Chunxiang..."
There must be some connection between them and He Wen!
"Hmm... I'll go to Beijing this time to find this woman!" Lu Yi looked at the address the letter came from and memorized it.
Three days later, Lu Yi stood outside a small Western-style building, looking at the house number in front of him, and a somewhat cold smile appeared on his face...
