The car driven by the Lorin sisters, having just finished breakfast, arrived downstairs at the State Guesthouse.
"Greetings, Honored Master, Director Xiang!"
Lorin and Fanny greeted Cheng Xiaofan and Xiang Wanli in unison.
Xiang Wanli smiled and said, "Lorin, Fanny, thank you for your hard work."
"It's no trouble at all. You're the ones who have worked hard!" Lorin replied.
Cheng Xiaofan and Xiang Wanli got into the car.
The car turned around and headed towards the Royal Palace.
Montes was already waiting at the entrance of the Royal Palace.
Beside him stood more than a dozen fully armed special police officers.
Montes got into Cheng Xiaofan's car, followed by the police cars, and then drove towards the capital's streets.
"Honored Master," Montes said to Cheng Xiaofan along the way, "I just received news that Ursula's family, in order to revive her, invited relatives and friends early this morning to hold a banquet at home. Everyone says that Ursula's resurrection from the virus is not only a miracle but also a symbol of good fortune! Some people want to share in the joy, and it is said that quite a number of people are attending the banquet."
Cheng Xiaofan asked, "Didn't you already issue an order strictly prohibiting large gatherings?"
Montes said with some helplessness, "The ban is very effective for public officials, but it's hard to achieve the desired effect among the general public! Besides, something like Ursula's situation is too bizarre and easily attracts attention!"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded upon hearing this. He then asked, "Old Meng, have the special police officers in the cars behind us taken my antiviral medicine?"
Montes immediately replied, "Reporting to Honored Master, they have all taken your antiviral medicine. Uh... what does Honored Master mean?"
Cheng Xiaofan said thoughtfully, "Old Meng, I suspect that Ursula's resurrection might be an illusion."
Montes looked shocked and said, "You mean, Ursula hasn't revived at all?"
Cheng Xiaofan said cautiously, "This is just a suspicion of mine. I will have a conclusion once I meet her at Ursula's home."
More than twenty minutes later, the car turned into a small alley and arrived at Ursula's doorstep. It was a luxurious villa. Various cars were parked in front of the villa. Laughter and chatter could be heard from inside the house.
It was clear that Ursula's family had been notified in advance that King Montes and Cheng Xiaofan would be visiting. As soon as Cheng Xiaofan and Montes got out of the car, the patriarch, Paul, led a group of people rushing out from inside the villa.
"Welcome, Honored Master and Your Majesty the King!"
Montes waved his hand and got straight to the point, "I've brought the Honored Master to see Ursula. Where is she? Let us have a look!"
Paul quickly replied, "Reporting to Your Majesty the King, my daughter Ursula has just been revived and is resting in bed due to her weak condition!"
Montes asked, "Is it convenient for us to see her?"
Paul immediately said, "Convenient, very convenient! I just mentioned to Ursula that Honored Master and Your Majesty the King were coming, and she was so happy to hear it. Ursula also said that Honored Master is her idol and that seeing you is her greatest honor!"
Montes said, "Lead us to her!"
After entering the house, Paul led them upstairs. Xiang Wanli followed closely behind Cheng Xiaofan.
In a spacious bedroom on the second floor, Cheng Xiaofan met Ursula. Ursula was lying on the bed, holding a novel and flipping through it. She was a typical blonde, blue-eyed beauty with an exceptionally good figure. Her skin was as fair as congealed fat, her complexion was rosy, and she looked quite healthy. Anyone who saw her would not be able to tell that she had died once from a viral infection.
"Honored Master, you're here?" Ursula exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan and was about to get out of bed, dropping her book.
Cheng Xiaofan quickly reached out and stopped her, saying, "Miss Ursula, please rest well. There's no need for such formalities!" He took the opportunity to grasp her hand. Her hand was ice-cold, unlike that of a living person. There was no trace of life force on her. She was clearly being controlled by an evil spirit. However... Cheng Xiaofan couldn't figure out how she was being controlled at the moment.
"Honored Master, how is my daughter's condition?" Paul asked cautiously, knowing that Cheng Xiaofan was a great physician.
In front of Ursula, Cheng Xiaofan stated frankly, "Your daughter has not revived at all. She is being controlled by an evil spirit! Have her cremated immediately!"
What... This is clearly a living person, and the Honored Master is asking him to have his daughter cremated? Paul panicked and said, "Honored Master, this won't do! My daughter is clearly alive!"
Just then, someone shouted, "Look quickly, Ursula is truly dead!"
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to the bed. Ursula was lying calmly on the bed, just as if she had just died. Her face was blackened, and a foul odor filled the entire room.
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said to Montes beside him, "Let's go down!"
Returning to the main hall, Cheng Xiaofan took out a bottle of detoxification pills and handed it to a special police officer, saying, "Give everyone who came here to attend the banquet one detoxification pill and have them take it on the spot. Ursula's body must be dealt with promptly to prevent the virus from spreading widely!"
"Yes, Honored Master!" the special police officer responded. Several other special police officers joined in to help.
Leaving the villa, Montes asked in confusion, "Honored Master, you said Ursula was controlled by an evil spirit. Why would it do this?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "It's simple. Fallen and Destruction were killed by me. Xuan Sui is obviously not willing to give up and has sent another guardian. This guardian wants to lure me out through Ursula's matter..."
At this point, he suddenly shivered. He quickly turned around to look for Xiang Wanli. But! Cheng Xiaofan couldn't find Xiang Wanli. He immediately took out his phone and started calling Xiang Wanli's number. However, her phone displayed that it was switched off.
Damn it! Under my very nose, an evil spirit has found a loophole. At that moment, a murderous intent flashed in Cheng Xiaofan's eyes.
When Montes noticed Cheng Xiaofan's somber expression, he asked with some trepidation, "Honored Master, what has happened?"
Cheng Xiaofan said coldly, "Xiang Wanli has been kidnapped again!"
"What did you say?" Montes was so shocked that he almost fainted. "Director Xiang has been kidnapped again?"
