Jiang Ning had been trending multiple times recently, but she rarely responded publicly.
Looking at her fans in the comment section, who were crying out and clamoring for attention, Jiang Ning thought for a moment and picked a comment urging her to update Douyin (TikTok) more often. She replied:
"If you’re a student: Have you finished your homework? Have you completed your practice papers? If you’re a working adult: Have you finished today’s work? Have you received your salary? Hehe."
Then, unconcerned about the impact of these questions on her followers, she closed Douyin efficiently and opened the surveillance footage.
In the backyard of the villa, Chen Ergou circled the area several times, murmuring to himself.
Hao Manman and Wang Qingli watched anxiously and intently until Chen Ergou stopped. They rushed forward to ask eagerly, "Master, how is it?"
Chen Ergou frowned, "This fierce ghost is about to form its evil aura, making it somewhat difficult to exorcise."
"What should we do!" Liu Zuolin exclaimed.
Huang Xianfu was calmer. The master said it was difficult, not impossible, which meant there was a chance to handle the situation.
Recalling the tormenting days of nightmarish visions every time he closed his eyes, Huang Xianfu said excitedly, "Master, ask for anything you need! We will provide whatever we can!"
"Right! Even if it costs ten million, we are willing!" added Wang Qingli. But this was not charity; the three were not fools. After offering the sweetener, Wang Qingli half-jokingly, half-threateningly added, "The condition is, you must kill this fierce ghost!"
They really didn’t want to continue in this state of sleeplessness, haunted by nightmares day and night, struggling to sleep but stubbornly resisting the urge out of fear!
The money was trivial; if this continued, they feared it wouldn’t be long before they’d be sleep-deprived enough to meet Yama Raja!
Chen Ergou was inwardly delighted, "Don’t worry. The only reason I say it’s difficult is that my disciple isn’t here, and I didn’t bring enough magic artifacts... Wait..."
Hearing Chen Ergou once again deceiving Hao Manman and the others, Jiang Ning switched off her phone and said to Qi Xingzhou, "Let’s go, get out of the car."
Qi Xingzhou sat next to Jiang Ning, and as soon as she moved, he immediately reacted.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Ning casually slung her bag over her shoulder and locked the car.
Since Wang Qingli didn’t want the situation to become public knowledge, they only brought two bodyguards, which now inadvertently reduced many troubles for Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou.
When Jiang Ning had driven over earlier, she had sized up the two bodyguards. Although they were large and muscular, it didn’t seem like it would be any problem for her and Qi Xingzhou to take them down two-on-two.
However, Jiang Ning and Qi Xingzhou’s primary mission concerned Hao Manman and her group of five. They were now in the backyard of the villa, and the spot where Jiang Ning had parked the car was conveniently in a secluded corner outside the villa, on the opposite side of the building.
Instead of taking the long route through the main gate, climbing over the wall would be faster.
At this moment, one couldn’t help but appreciate the convenience of having a smart companion. Jiang Ning only needed to glance at the wall, and Qi Xingzhou immediately understood her intention.
Without waiting for Jiang Ning to speak, Qi Xingzhou knelt down, locked his hands together, and gestured for her to step up on him.
The walls of the old-style houses were not built very high.
Stepping on Qi Xingzhou, Jiang Ning quickly climbed over the wall.
Jiang Ning sat atop the wall, surveyed the interior of the villa, then crouched down and reached out to pull Qi Xingzhou up, allowing them both to smoothly climb over and enter.
