“Grandpa Song, how about this? I’ll visit you tonight at midnight. At that time, the Yin energy will be at its peak, so I can observe how to break this formation.”
Yun Qin carefully used her evil energy to search her surroundings. After searching through the information in her mind, she had a rough idea of what to do, so she turned around and spoke to the gray-haired old man.
Grandpa Song stroked his beard and smiled kindly. He replied, “Okay, young lady, you��re quite capable. I’ll do as you say.”
Seeing that it was getting late, Yun Qin couldn’t stay any longer. She followed Grandpa Song back to the front hall and saw Xu Guang sitting on an armchair drinking tea. Yun Qin then bade Grandpa Song farewell.
“Ah? Why are you leaving so early?”
Old Master Song was a little surprised. When he saw Yun Qin for the first time, he felt that this young lady was very pleasant and had a good impression of her. Thus, he urged her to stay and said, “Do you have things to do? Your Grandpa Song here wants to keep you and Number Two for tea.”
Yun Qin smiled very obediently. “It’s nothing urgent. I just need to prepare for tonight. Once I resolve your issue here, Grandpa Song, I’ll come to drink tea with you.”
Xu Guang also stood up and pleaded, “Grandpa Song, I also have a few errands that I need to do for my father. I’ll accompany you next time.”
Hearing this, Grandpa Song no longer insisted. He smiled and watched the two of them leave.
The moment he stepped out of the Song family’s old mansion, Xu Guang immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Yun Qin, you’re amazing. Grandpa Song had never been kind to anyone. Why was he so kind today?”
Perhaps it was because he heard her say that she had a plan to break the array formation? After all, she could break Song Yin’s curse without using a life-for-life method that would harm others and himself.
Yun Qin pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, “Maybe he’s in a good mood.”
Xu Guang also laughed, then coughed lightly as he pushed up his glasses, and said, “I haven’t properly thanked you for helping me last time. Let me treat you to a meal?? I know a new restaurant that’s quite delicious…”
Before Xu Guang could finish, Yun Qin’s phone rang. Yun Qin smiled apologetically at him and took out her phone. The Caller ID on the screen was “Yun Jin”.
After answering the call, Yun Jin’s voice rang, “little girl, I have good news for you!”
“Oh? Brother, what is it?” Yun Qin answered while walking.
“Did you know, dad went to his company today and caught that clerk from the finance department that Chen Yuan arranged? He was in the middle of transmitting data! The police arrested him!”
It seemed that Chen Yuan’s arrangement to bribe the finance clerk Xiao Liu with $2 million to frame the Yun Corporation was exposed. It was exactly what Yun Qin expected. Her tone did not change, and she replied calmly, “I see. And then?”
Yun Jin said, “the police traced the $2 million used to bribe the finance clerk to uncle’s bank account! Dad is currently assisting the police in the investigation. Uncle is…”
Xu Guang, who was walking beside Yun Qin, was quietly listening. In the end, he realized that the conversation was getting more and more serious. Why did this conversation seem to be about some unspeakable private event going on in the Yun family? Was this something he should listen to?
“Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough, cough.”
Xu Guang quickly coughed a few times to remind Yun Jin, who was speaking more and more vigorously into his phone on the other end, and took a few steps back.
“Yun Qin, why is there a man beside you?”
When Yun Jin heard the commotion, he immediately stopped talking. His voice also became serious and alert, as if he was protecting his child.
“Ah, this is my friend, Xu Guang.”
Yun Qin couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at Xu Guang who had an “I’m not curious” look on his face, and explained to Yun Jin.
“Friend? You went out with him this afternoon?”
Yun Jin dropped the previous conversation and asked vigilantly.
He heard the name Xu Guang before. This kid was getting close to his younger sister, so he must be up to no good.
“Yeah, with him…” Yun Qin thought for a while and felt it was better not to tell her brother about her ability to catch ghosts. Otherwise, she would have to spend a long time explaining everything to him. Hearing Yun Jin’s suspicious and jealous tone, she whispered into the phone, “It’s Mo Mo’s childhood friend. Nothing is going on.”
Only then did Yun Jin relax. Since there were other people around, it was inappropriate to talk about family matters. So he told Yun Qin to head home soon and hung up reluctantly.
After Yun Qin put away her phone, she turned to look at Xu Guang and said, “I’m sorry, the call was from my brother. Oh right, what were you saying?”
