Wen Li stared at the middle-aged man in front of her for a long time without saying a word.
When the man saw Wen Li, he raised an eyebrow slightly and suddenly asked, "Are you a Taoist priest?"
Wen Li looked completely bewildered: "I don't know what you're talking about."
She was just an ordinary Taoist priest.
Seeing that Wen Li didn't seem to be lying, the man paused for a moment, then said in a light tone, "That's a real pity. If the Celestial Masters Association knew about your abilities, they would definitely fight to let you in."
“But, it’s a real pity.” The middle-aged man smiled, his wrinkles all bunched up, making him look somewhat frightening. He leaned close to Wen Li and said in a cold tone, “Because you’re about to die.”
Wen Li's eyes narrowed slightly as she sensed the foul stench emanating from the man's mouth, and she shifted slightly to the side.
"Dad, why are you wasting your breath talking to her? Just kill her already!"
At this moment, Wen Sirou produced a dark, gloomy gun from somewhere and handed it to the man, saying, "Don't let things get complicated."
Xu Yisheng looked at Wen Sirou and slowly nodded: "We can't keep him."
After saying that, he reached for the gun in Wen Sirou's hand.
Wen Sirou's smile grew wider and wider.
Having been reborn, she naturally knew that Wen Li was different from others, so she searched her body in advance and found that Wen Li did not have any magical artifacts or talismans, so she could not summon evil spirits.
Wen Li is now bound, like a fish on a chopping board, left to be bullied and humiliated at will.
Wen Sirou felt a sense of relief upon thinking about this.
Xu Yisheng felt guilty towards his daughter, so whatever Wen Sirou said was the truth.
But just as he took the gun, sirens blared outside, piercing the empty, silent room.
Wen Sirou was startled, and her panic was clearly visible on her face: "What happened?"
Zhang Zhujin quickly glanced out the window and found that the road they had come from was full of police cars, and the area around the house was completely blocked!
"The police are here!" Zhang Zhujin's voice trembled as she looked at Xu Yisheng, at a loss for what to do.
Xu Yisheng's face suddenly turned ugly.
They dared to kidnap openly because they knew no one could find out their identities. They even set up a formation when they came, making it impossible for ordinary people to get here.
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Xu Yisheng excitedly chambered a bullet, pressing the cold muzzle against Wen Li's head: "Your dad actually dared to call the police!"
Wen Li didn't even blink when a gun was pointed at her head.
This scene deeply stung Wen Sirou, who was standing nearby.
"Dad, even if we can't escape, we'll drag Wen Li down with us!"
In her past life, she was bitten to death by a vengeful ghost. Now that she has a chance to be reborn, even if she is going to die again, she will take someone down with her!
"No!" Xu Yisheng wasn't as impulsive as Wen Sirou. He said, "There's still a chance to live."
After saying that, Xu Yisheng pulled Wen Li up, his rough, wet hands gripping her neck, the gun barrel pointed at her temple.
"Sirou, Dad has set up a magic array nearby. As long as we get in the car, these policemen won't be able to do anything to us."
Wen Sirou then realized what was happening.
His father, like Wen Li, knew Taoist magic. Wouldn't it be easy for him to kill Wen Li and escape?
"Okay, I'll listen to Dad!"
Xu Yisheng's eyes were full of tenderness.
He spent his entire life on the run, living in hiding, and he only had this one daughter.
If it weren't for the circumstances, they wouldn't have left their own daughter with someone else to raise. If she had been raised well, that would have been fine. But now that she's their own daughter, they're treating her like a door-sweeping dog and kicking her out!
Xu Yisheng's eyes were filled with malice.
He gripped Wen Li's neck, staring at her, and thought that he would definitely kill her when he ran away.
It's just a pity that Wen Li can no longer serve as nourishment for his formation.
As Xu Yisheng thought about it, he tightened his grip on Wen Li's neck.
He pushed Wen Li forward, his voice cold: "Go open the door."
Wen Li's neck was red from being choked. Upon hearing this, she slowly moved to the doorway and used her foot to pry open the slightly ajar door.
The Wen family and a group of police officers stood at the front.
When I saw Wen Li being taken hostage and walked forward, my heart jumped into my throat.
Wen Tingsong saw Wen Sirou behind Xu Yisheng and said, "Wen Sirou, you can have as much money as you want, just let Wen Li go!"
Upon hearing Wen Tingsong's voice, Wen Sirou instinctively looked over.
The father, who should have been whispering sweet nothings to her and looking at her with tenderness all the time, was now pouring that affection onto another girl.
Wen Sirou's face flushed red, and she turned her head away as if she was about to say something.
Xu Yisheng looked at Wen Tingsong and sneered, "Those who don't want Wen Li to die, get out of my way, or I'll kill him right now!"
Wen Tingsong looked at the policeman, who nodded to him and then made a gesture to quickly move away.
Soon, all the people and vehicles had moved to both sides.
Wen Sirou and Zhang Zhujin followed behind.
The two got into a taxi first, while Xu Yisheng stood at the back door, his cold and sharp eyes scanning the police officers around him.
"We have moved aside as you requested, please release my daughter."
When Wen Tingsong saw Xu Yisheng, he felt that the other person was somewhat familiar, and he also felt that he had seen Zhang Zhujin somewhere before.
But I can't remember it right now.
However, Xu Yisheng's malicious expression was too overt, giving him a bad feeling.
"laugh--"
Xu Yisheng suddenly laughed: "Wen Tingsong, don't you recognize who I am?"
Wen Tingsong pursed his lips and remained silent.
"It's normal not to remember, after all, I was just a handyman in your house back then."
Wen Tingsong suddenly opened his eyes wide, his gaze shifting back and forth between Zhang Zhujin and Xu Yisheng in the driver's seat, as images flashed before his eyes.
Xu Yisheng's laugh was unpleasant: "You remember now? It was your wife who kindly took us in and helped us settle down. But one shouldn't be too kind-hearted."
"What do you mean?"
Xu Yisheng: "Haven't you always suspected in your heart whether the child was switched at birth or maliciously exchanged?"
Wen Tingsong's heart skipped a beat, and a thought began to emerge in his mind. He stared at Xu Yisheng in disbelief, and after figuring it out, his eyes slowly turned into hatred.
But the more this happened, the happier Xu Yisheng became.
He has a thrill in having people completely manipulated.
Xu Yisheng laughed loudly: "You're right. Madam Miao kindly took us in, but we repaid kindness with enmity. Madam Miao and my wife gave birth on the same day. At that time, I happened to be practicing some mystical arts and bewitched a nurse in the neonatal ward, replacing Sirou with her. It's just a pity..."
After a pause, Xu Yisheng suddenly looked regretful: "Originally, I wanted my wife to throw the child into the water to drown her, but unfortunately, she was too kind-hearted and spared her life, which gave Wen Li the opportunity to find her and obtain such a great opportunity!"
