Chapter 151 There's Someone Else Behind the Scenes
"Clang, clang..."
With the sound of chains on the ground, two figures appeared in Xiao Jiu Jiu's room.
The two figures, one in black and one in white, both wearing tall hats, slowly floated over.
Xie Bi'an spoke first: "Xiao Jiu, what's the matter that you called us over?"
"Uncle Xie, Uncle Fan, I'm in trouble."
She pointed to the soul that stood stiffly beside Qin Yuyang's body, looking completely dumbfounded.
The spirit was caught by the coal ball.
Xiao Jiujiu said, "This is my father's soul. His lifespan hasn't ended yet, but we can't put it back in no matter what we do."
“His yang soul has been forcibly stripped away,” Fan Wujiu immediately recognized the problem.
Qin Yuyang's soul kept floating upwards, and if it weren't for the coal ball holding it back, it would have escaped long ago.
"How dare you! You actually capture a living soul!"
Xie Bi'an took out the Soul-Binding Lock and tied Qin Yuyang up, his expression solemn: "Don't worry, Xiao Jiu, I've tied your father up with the Soul-Binding Lock, no one can take him away."
"But what about later? I can't keep tying my dad up forever; his body will slowly deteriorate." Little Jiu Jiu pouted, looking quite pitiful.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu exchanged a glance, then Xie Bi'an left.
Only their ethereal voices remained in the air: "I'll take that person away, don't worry, Xiao Jiu."
"Thank you, Uncle Fan and Uncle Xie!" Xiao Jiujiu waved her hand, looked at the coal ball beside her, and sighed.
She crouched down and whispered to Coal Ball, "Coal Ball, am I still too weak? Otherwise, how come I couldn't find Grandpa or save Dad?"
You've already done a great job.
Coal Ball looked at Little Nine and patted her with its paw: "Don't worry, your dad will be fine."
"Mm." Xiao Jiujiu nodded emphatically, reached out and grabbed the chain of the Soul-Binding Lock, and tugged at it.
[Xiao Jiu, no!]
Seeing this, Coal Ball shouted urgently, only to find that Little Nine was completely unharmed. Curious, he asked, "Little Nine, don't you feel your soul is unstable?"
"No, I don't feel anything."
Xiao Jiujiu picked up the Soul-Binding Lock and shook it, then put it down again: "With this, I can rest assured that Daddy won't run away."
The Soul-Binding Lock is indeed useful, after all, it's specifically designed to bind spirits. The fact that they're willing to use a magical artifact to help you shows they're being very kind to you.
"I know the Soul-Binding Lock is Uncle Xie's magic weapon. How is a magic weapon made? Can I have a magic weapon too?" Little Jiu Jiu's eyes were full of curiosity.
The coal ball patted her hand with its claw: "You yourself are a giant magical artifact; you must protect yourself."
Xiao Jiu Jiu had no idea that her identity was something many people in the Xuanmen sects coveted.
It's like Tang Sanzang's flesh!
"Um……"
Not long after, a soft moan came from the bed.
Coal Ball stood up: "Your father has woken up."
"Really?" Xiao Jiu Jiu got up, holding the coal ball, and immediately saw Qin Yu Yang lying on the bed.
The soul-binding lock beside them had disappeared, and the soul was gone too.
"Hey, where's Dad?" Little Jiu Jiu asked, somewhat confused.
The voice just fell.
Xie Bi'an and Fan Wujiu appeared at the same time, and the sound of bells rang out from their bodies.
"Xiao Jiu, the matter has been resolved." Xie Bi'an's voice came, his face serious.
Fan Wujiu, standing beside him, was holding an iron chain.
At the end of the chain was bound a person—Zhang Fugui's soul!
Fan Wujiu pulled out a booklet from the side: "This man is named Zhang Fugui, a third-rate feng shui master who is being instructed by someone to target you."
They want to bankrupt your family and seize your assets.
He died from the backlash during his struggle against Liu Juanbai; we must bring him back to face trial.
"Was it Yang Hao who was acting on someone's orders?"
Xiao Jiu Jiu already had the answer in her heart, so she could only press for more information.
Xie Bi'an glanced at her and said in a flat voice, "This is not within the scope of our investigation."
“We only look at the dead,” Fan Wujiu added from the side. “That person wasn’t hiding well; you can find out for yourselves.”
As for Zhang Fugui, he will receive the punishment he deserves.
Xiao Jiu Jiu was somewhat disappointed.
Xie Bi'an, who was standing to the side, added, "Your father's soul has returned to its place, and his bodily functions are normal. He will wake up soon, so we won't stay any longer."
"Alright alright……"
Xiao Jiu Jiu composed herself, flashed a big smile, and waved sweetly at the two of them: "Uncle Xie, Uncle Fan, thank you, bye-bye~"
The sounds of bells and chains rang out simultaneously.
The two of them acquired a prize this time!
As soon as the two left, Xiao Jiujiu immediately checked Qin Yuyang's heartbeat and then examined his pupils.
Coal Ball chimed in from the side, "Indeed, his soul has returned to its place, and he should wake up soon."
Qin Yuyang regained consciousness in less than two minutes.
He felt he should be lying in bed right now, but his whole body was sore and weak, as if he had been hit with a hammer.
Not only that, he felt his eyelids were too heavy to lift.
Xiao Jiu Jiu rested her chin on her hand and her elbow on Qin Yu Yang's pillow, watching his eyelids twitch and sway, unable to stay open.
She slapped Qin Yuyang's head: "Get back to where you are, Dad, wake up!"
"Ok?"
When Qin Yuyang opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Jiujiu's enlarged face.
Seeing that Qin Yuyang was awake, Xiao Jiujiu stretched out two chubby fingers and gestured in front of Qin Yuyang: "Daddy, what number is this?"
Qin Yuyang: "?"
His mind was still blank; he hadn't reacted at all and didn't have time to speak before he saw Xiao Jiu Jiu's expression as if the sky had fallen.
"My God, Dad has gone mad!" Little Jiu Jiu got up, ran to the door, and opened it: "Aunt Ye...?"
She was originally going to call out to Ye Xuan.
When they opened the door, they saw Ye Xuan stumble in from the side of the door.
“Ah, haha…”
Ye Xuan stood up and smiled awkwardly, "Well, I just accidentally bumped into the door when I squatted down to tie my shoelaces..."
"Do you believe what you're saying, Aunt Ye?" Xiao Jiu Jiu looked at her slippers, then at her: "Are you as silly as Dad?"
Upon hearing Qin Yuyang's name, Ye Xuan asked somewhat nervously, "What's wrong with Old Qin?"
She rushed inside and saw Qin Yuyang sitting there with a blank expression.
Ye Xuan sat on the edge of his bed, placed her hands on his shoulders and gently shook him: "Old Qin, what's wrong?"
"what?"
Qin Yuyang realized what was happening and asked, "Why are you making that face? And Xiao Jiu, what's with that expression on your face?"
Little Jiu Jiu fiddled with her fingers, then said shyly, "It's...that...Dad, what number is this?"
She slowly extended two fingers.
"Two? Wow, what else could it be?" Qin Yuyang looked at her, puzzled.
Xiao Jiujiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank goodness, Dad didn't really go stupid. There's still hope for my life in a wealthy family!"
Qin Yuyang: "What exactly happened?"
"It's that one..." Xiao Jiu Jiu whispered in Qin Yu Yang's ear.
Ye Xuan: "What are you two talking about?"
"That's it!"
Xiao Jiujiu frowned as she looked at Qin Yuyang: "It's good that you're alright, otherwise I would have had to keep calling people down!"
Qin Yuyang was still shaken: "So that's how it is. I'm so grateful to you, Xiao Jiu. But I'm fine now."
I just feel so tired, and my arms hurt a lot too.
As he spoke, Qin Yuyang raised his hand.
It wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't looked, but once I did, I noticed there were marks on my arm from the straps.
"My God, Qin, have you been kidnapped?" Ye Xuan rushed over to Qin Yuyang, looking very nervous.
Ye Xuan immediately started touching Qin Yuyang's body with both hands: "No, I need to check if there are any other injuries."
"What happened, Lao Qin? What are those tear stains on your arm? Does it hurt?"
She spoke rapidly, her hands moving all over her body, her voice trembling with tears.
Qin Yuyang coughed twice: "Xiao Jiu is still here, don't do this."
"What's wrong with me! I'm just worried about you!"
Ye Xuan checked and breathed a sigh of relief when she found nothing wrong.
Suddenly, her expression changed as she looked at Xiao Jiu Jiu: "Xiao Jiu, did you kidnap your father?"
Qin Yuyang and Xiao Jiujiu exchanged a glance.
Xiao Jiu Jiu nodded: "Yes, Dad had a relapse just now. I didn't want you to worry, that's why I did that."
"A relapse? What illness could Old Qin possibly have?" Ye Xuan asked, puzzled.
She and Qin Yuyang have been together for five years, and nothing has ever happened between them.
Qin Yuyang patted her back reassuringly: "I'm fine, it's just an old problem. This isn't binding, it's just to fix my limbs so I don't hit Xiao Jiu myself."
"Why can't you ask me for help? Xiao Jiu is just a child..."
“She can.” Qin Yuyang looked at her.
Ye Xuan paused for a moment, then nodded: "Indeed, Xiao Jiujiu is possible, it's something I didn't consider."
Xiao Jiujiu comforted her, "Aunt Ye, everything's alright now. Look, Dad is perfectly fine."
"Yeah, it's Xiao Jiu... Go easy on him next time, look what you've done to your dad..." Ye Xuan said a couple of sentences and then stopped.
Qin Yuyang winked at Xiao Jiujiu, who didn't refute him.
"Then I'll go first, bye."
Xiao Jiu Jiu and the coal ball left safely.
Qin Yuyang stopped Ye Xuan, who still wanted to ask more questions.
"Old Qin, what's wrong with you? What are you hiding from me?" Ye Xuan looked at Qin Yuyang with a puzzled expression.
She read Qin Yuyang's medical examination reports every year.
Young and strong, without any illness.
Qin Yuyang: "I'm not hiding anything from you, and nothing's wrong with me."
No one would believe it if I told them that my soul almost left my body and was taken away.
"You better be like that." Ye Xuan glared at Qin Yuyang, then rushed over and hugged her: "Thank goodness you're alright."
Holding Ye Xuan in his arms, Qin Yuyang thought for a moment and said, "I'm just too tired from work, that's all."
"That's good."
Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, pushed Qin Yuyang away, and stood up, saying, "Are you hungry? I'll prepare something for you to eat. The housekeeper said you didn't eat much tonight."
"Okay, I want to eat noodles." Qin Yuyang smiled at Ye Xuan.
He did have a lot of doubts about Ye Xuan when he was suspicious, but Ye Xuan's subsequent actions proved otherwise.
She knew nothing about what her family was doing; she had indeed been a quiet full-time housewife all these years.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan said, "Okay, I'll go cook you some noodles."
"I'll go down with you."
As soon as Qin Yuyang got up, he fell back down, saying, "My head is spinning!"
"Are you alright, Lao Qin?" Ye Xuan quickly went over and sat down next to Qin Yuyang to ask.
Qin Yuyang took a deep breath before opening his eyes: "I'm fine, but my body is still a little weak."
"Then I'll help you."
She helped Qin Yuyang up and took the elevator down to the next floor.
After helping Qin Yuyang to the sofa, Ye Xuan turned and went to the kitchen.
Soon, the sound of the gas being turned on and the low hum of the range hood came from the kitchen.
Ye Xuan frowned, walked over and closed the door.
Ye Xuan rummaged through the kitchen cabinets, but couldn't find any noodles, so she pressed the bell above the kitchen.
The butler's voice came through: "Hello, how can I help you?"
"Butler? This is Ye Xuan. Could you please get me some noodles?" Ye Xuan asked.
It's late now, and they only came temporarily, so it's normal that there are no noodles here.
The butler glanced at the time, resignedly stood up, and said, "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
"If it's too much trouble, then forget it." Ye Xuan thought for a moment and prepared to turn off the bell.
Just then, the butler's voice came: "It's alright, I'll take care of it. Can you wait half an hour? I'll have someone wash the fruit for you first."
"Okay, remember to bring some scallions."
Ye Xuan turned off the bell, but still cracked two eggs.
Not long after, she brought out two soft-boiled eggs from the kitchen: "Eat the eggs first, there are no noodles in the kitchen."
"it is good."
Half an hour later, the housekeeper brought over the noodles.
Ye Xuan looked at Qin Yuyang: "Do you still want noodles?"
The two of them had already eaten some watermelon.
Qin Yuyang nodded: "I'm a little hungry."
"it is good."
Ye Xuan was about to go to the kitchen with the noodles when Qin Yuyang said, "Don't close the door."
"Row."
Soon, the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen.
Even smelling the food outside made Qin Yuyang feel less hungry.
Before long, Ye Xuan returned carrying a large bowl filled with steaming noodles, topped with chopped scallions.
It looks pretty good and smells delicious.
"Have some, this is scallion noodles I prepared, with some chili on top," Ye Xuan said, placing the bowl on the table.
The maid brought out two bowls and served noodles to the two of them.
Qin Yuyang picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. The delicious flavor relieved his hunger, and he exclaimed, "Delicious!"
"Okay, I'll eat with you."
The two of them started eating, completely forgetting about the two kids upstairs.
inside the room.
Xiao Jiu Jiu took out her phone and, disregarding the late hour, immediately called Yu Zhi Nian.
Yu Zhinian answered immediately: "Xiao Jiu, what do you want?"
"Brother Yu, let me tell you..."
Xiao Jiujiu recounted how Zhang Fugui had caused trouble, and then mentioned the Black and White Impermanence: "In short, Zhang Fugui's soul has already been taken away by Uncle Xie and the others, so he's definitely doomed."
"But we still haven't found his body. I guess it's in the capital. I've sent people to look for it."
Yu Zhinian did not return to the capital because he had to stay with Liu Jian.
Xiao Jiu Jiu sighed: "It's nothing, I just wanted to let you know that I'm all set for now. My dad is probably going back to the capital tomorrow."
"Let's wait a few days. We'll talk about it in the capital after we find Zhang Fugui's body. We don't have any concrete evidence to arrest the people behind him."
This is what troubles Yu Zhinian the most.
Even if the two people have only had contact, they cannot be arrested directly.
“There will always be flaws.” Xiao Jiujiu said coldly.
Yang Hao won't be able to cause trouble for much longer anyway.
Zhang Fugui wasn't the real mastermind; she had sensed it long ago—there were other people behind the scenes.
Otherwise, how could someone like Zhang Fugui gain a foothold in the capital?
Yu Zhinian: "Okay, I need to get back to work now."
"Goodbye, Brother Yu."
After Xiao Jiujiu hung up the phone.
I fell asleep the moment I closed my eyes while lying in bed...
