Ye Huohuo looked at the photo in her hand. The girl in the picture was not as cheerful and lively as girls her age, and there was a hint of melancholy in her brows.
It gave people a feeling of pity at first glance. Such a girl, if she didn't intervene tonight, would lose her life, but if she did, it would affect the yin energy within her body…
Seeing that Ye Huohuo was still hesitating, Li Feng knelt before her again. “Master Ye, please state any requirements you have. Although I’m not wealthy, I’ll find a way to come up with any amount of money to save my daughter. I beg you. Xiao Qing has had bad luck, encountering such a father.
I originally thought I would endure it and give her a complete family, but I didn't expect her father to beat her too when he was drunk. It’s all my fault, my fault for being too weak. Xiao Qing once said that the two of us, mother and daughter, would leave home and find a place where no one knew us. But I always felt that her father would change one day. It’s my fault.
Xiao Qing must hate me, hate this family, hate her father because of this, which is why she’s in a deep sleep! Please tell her that as long as she’s willing to wake up, I’ll divorce her father immediately and move far away, so that her father can never find us!”
Li Feng became more agitated as she spoke. Ye Huohuo couldn’t pull her up. She kowtowed, and her forehead broke open.
Ye Huohuo sighed inwardly. This was another human tragedy. This poor woman didn’t know what happened to her daughter. She didn’t know that the scumbag her daughter encountered was even more despicable than her father.
Looking at Li Feng, she thought of Lu Qing before, and a wry smile appeared.
The person manipulating things from behind must be a master of psychological manipulation, knowing that she would inevitably intervene when faced with such a situation. Knowing it was a trap and that there was danger ahead, she would still meddle.
Ye Huohuo sighed deeply. “Sister Li, please get up. I’ll take care of this matter!”
Li Feng looked up, her eyes full of surprise. “Master Ye, you’re really willing to save Xiao Qing?”
Ye Huohuo chuckled lightly. “Don’t worry, give me your home address, and I’ll come to your place later to take a look.”
“I, I’ll wait for you here, I’ll take you there!” Li Feng was clearly afraid that Ye Huohuo would just brush her off.
Ye Huohuo raised her hand and placed it on her head, pressing her thumb on her brow. The fingertips slowly increased the pressure. “Li Feng, listen, you haven’t had a good rest for a long time, you must be very tired. Sleep for a while, and when you wake up, go home and wait for me. I’ll do something for Xiao Qing, and then I’ll come to your place to find you. Be good!”
Her voice sounded like celestial music from a distant mountain valley to Li Feng’s ears, carrying an undeniable authority and a warmth like a spring breeze.
Unconsciously, her eyelids grew heavier, and she fell asleep while half-crouching.
Ye Huohuo caught Li Feng’s falling body and laid her down on the long bench.
She gently rolled up Li Feng’s sleeve and saw that new injuries were layered on top of old ones, with some scars that looked at least several years old.
She sighed and shook her head. “Why bother? Domestic violence is either zero times or countless times. If you indulge him once, you will live in the shadow of domestic violence your entire life.
If you had taken your daughter away from that man earlier, Lu Qing might not have met that scumbag, and many tragedies might have been avoided!”
Just then, her phone rang. It was Li Mohan.
As soon as she answered, he said, “You are not allowed to go!”
Ye Huohuo was startled. How did Li Mohan know everything?
Ye Huohuo carefully scanned the entire rooftop. Only then did she discover that there were several hidden cameras on the rooftop railings, almost all facing her direction.
No wonder. As soon as she made any move, Li Mohan would know. It turned out she had been under his surveillance all along.
Even a clay figurine has a temper. Ye Huohuo said angrily into the phone, “Mr. Li, I don’t think I’m your prisoner, so why use so many cameras to stare at me?”
Li Mohan paused. “Those cameras have been there for a long time; they were originally for monitoring the rooftop. It’s not that I’m specifically monitoring you, but you’re not allowed to run around. Just stay on the rooftop and sunbathe.”
Ye Huohuo really wanted to rush over and see Li Mohan’s expression. He could lie so righteously.
If there had been cameras there before, the recordings would have been checked to see who brought those five fortune-bringing ghosts up.
As expected of someone whose business could be so large, his ability to quibble was indeed not fake.
“You stay on the rooftop and sunbathe properly. Your second senior brother said…” Li Mohan noticed Ye Huohuo was angry from the surveillance and tried to persuade her gently.
“He just likes to exaggerate. I’ve already taken my medicine. Besides, where isn’t there a place to sunbathe? However, opportunities to accumulate merit are not always available.
Do you still remember the girl who was unwilling to return to her soul last time?” Ye Huohuo asked.
“Mm!”
“Her name is Lu Qing, and this woman is her mother. I calculated before that Lu Qing had only seven days left to live, but I was wrong. If she cannot return to her soul before midnight tonight, she will truly die.
Her mother was the one Lu Qing entrusted in a dream to find me yesterday. The fact that mother and daughter could find me means there is a connection between us. To refuse to save a life would harm my merit and make me even more unlucky.
Master told me to descend the mountain precisely to accumulate merit. Otherwise, even if I borrow your luck, I won’t live long.” Ye Huohuo’s tone was firm.
“I just had someone check the surveillance. This woman actually entered through a small door at the back of the building used for transporting garbage. Many employees in the company don’t even know about that door. She bypassed the security checks.
Furthermore, looking at her route, she was heading directly for the rooftop. How did she know you were on the rooftop? The timing and opportunity were perfect. There’s definitely something wrong here. I suspect someone is deliberately using this mother and daughter’s situation to lure you into a trap!” Li Mohan’s voice was very serious.
Ye Huohuo was increasingly impressed by Li Mohan’s analytical skills. As long as there was a hint of something, he could sketch out a broad outline.
She had only talked to Li Feng for a while before identifying these issues, but Li Mohan had already guessed most of it just by looking at her route.
Ye Huohuo’s expression became solemn. “I know. Since we met, there has always been a hidden hand controlling everything. This person’s strength is immeasurable; they could even make me miscalculate Lu Qing’s final deadline for death. Moreover, their grasp of human nature is incredibly precise.
They calculated that I would not ignore such a situation with this mother and daughter, and I also know that they must have set a trap for me.” kuAiδugg
Ye Huohuo paused. “But I still want to go.”
Li Mohan was silent for a long time.
Just as Ye Huohuo was losing patience, he said, “If you really want to go, bring A Cheng with you. Let him accompany you.”
Ye Huohuo thought about it and felt that she did need help this time, so she nodded in agreement.
“Bringing A Cheng is fine, but I want to bring someone else too!”
“Who?”
Ye Huohuo smiled brilliantly at the camera, but there was a clear calculation in that smile.
