I smiled wryly, "Perhaps, that person didn't intend to hide anything from the start, it's just that we haven't been able to find her identity."

Zhao Yuezhu wrung her fingers and whispered, "When you were at the funeral home, didn't you calculate her every step accurately? Are you also a calculator?"

"I'm not!" I shook my head. "I've only learned how to set traps. Traps can't stump me, but when it comes to calculations, I'm not as good as a calculator."

Zhao Yuezhu fell silent, like a child who wanted to ask for help but didn't dare to open her mouth. She sat motionless in the car with tears in her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

I turned to look at Zhao Yuezhu and said, "Little girl, do you know about the Jianghu (martial world)?"

"Yes!" Zhao Yuezhu nodded.

I shook my head. "You don't know. Everyone knows about the Jianghu, but no one can really explain it."

"The Jianghu is a place full of legends and helplessness."

"I'm not telling you this to make you strong. No one in this world has the right to ask another person to face everything with strength. Because they don't know the pain of the person involved."

"What I want to tell you is that your father left you the hope of living. Before we are defeated, you have no right to die. Unless all three of us are killed in battle, you are qualified to face the danger yourself. Do you understand?"

Zhao Yuezhu whispered, "Li Po, can I exchange that hope back?"

"No! A Shushi (Taoist exorcist) doesn't take on the business of two clients at the same time." I replied expressionlessly, but my heart was trembling slightly.

Zhao Yuezhu, Zhao Ci, how similar was their situation to when my father and I parted ways?

My father left me the hope of survival and went to face the evil ghost that had been sealed for many years alone.

Now I've become a Shushi, but I can't find the enemies from back then, let alone my father's whereabouts.

Calculator!

Calculators can understand everything under the heavens!

Why can't I try?

Once this thought arose in my heart, it could never be erased.

When we arrived at the Qian Family Village described in the story, the old house where Qian Hong had lived was nothing but a pile of broken walls and tiles left in the grass. However, standing at the entrance of the courtyard, we could see the tables and chairs placed in the house.

The house was gone, but the furnishings inside remained unchanged. Was this the bureau (strategical arrangement) that Old Man Qian had left behind?

I walked around the Qian family's house a few times and discovered that all the residents of these families had moved away, leaving not even a single piece of furniture in the houses.

I asked Feng Ruoxing to inquire about renting the house. When Feng Ruoxing came back, he brought me a message: "The villagers say that the Qian family's house is haunted."

"Old Man Qian comes back every night and lives in the dilapidated house as if he were still alive, with everything unchanged."

"When he's not around, a woman in green comes over, looking for Old Man Qian like a madwoman. If she can't find him, she cries in the house."

"The villagers don't dare to live nearby anymore, so there's no one in the surrounding houses. If we want to live there, we can just give them some money."

Feng Ruoxing said without me asking, "I've also inquired about Er Shunzi. There is indeed such a person in the village. However, he's already dead."

"The villagers say that Er Shunzi died next to Old Man Qian's coffin, with his eyes wide open. The coroner said that he was scared to death."

"The villagers all say that Er Shunzi went to steal something from Old Man Qian's coffin, but Old Man Qian grabbed his hand and scared him to death on the spot."

"That's all the information I've gathered."

I waited for Feng Ruoxing to finish speaking before asking, "Didn't the villagers say what Old Man Qian did when he was alive?"

"They did!" Feng Ruoxing said, "They said that Old Man Qian was in business when he was young. After he got old, he took his grandson to the village to retire."

"As for where Qian Hong's parents went, no one knows. Because no one has ever seen the Qian family have a son, and Old Man Qian himself doesn't say."

"I see!" I nodded slightly. "Let's settle down first and see what happens tonight."

While I was still packing my things, Feng Ruoxing suddenly said, "Li Po, have you seen Zhao Yuezhu? Where is she?"

My head buzzed instantly. I had forgotten about Zhao Yuezhu!

That girl must have gone to find Old Man Qian on her own!

I'm the kind of person who doesn't make promises to people unless I'm sure of myself.

My original intention was to explain the difficulty of this mission to Zhao Yuezhu, but I didn't expect Zhao Yuezhu to pretend to be well-behaved in front of me, but in reality, she had her own ideas.

That girl is still causing me trouble...

I was about to turn around to look for someone when I suddenly thought of something even more serious: "Qin Xin! Qin Xin, are you there?"

I called out a few times, but no one responded. My heart sank again: Zhao Yuezhu had abducted Qin Xin!

Isn't this just adding to my troubles?

Zhao Yuezhu is the target that the client designated us to protect, and Qin Xin is the only trump card we have to restrain our opponents.

If they both disappear together, it will be a complete loss if something happens!

I subconsciously looked at the Qian family's courtyard. The old Qian family house was close at hand. Everything from the courtyard to the house could be seen at a glance, but I couldn't see Zhao Yuezhu.

That girl had an accident right under my nose.
