Under the leadership of Ma Shijie, four people came to one of the building floors.
Upon reaching the second floor, they knocked on the door, and soon someone came to open it.
"Yes." Ma Shijie entered first, with Gu Lili following closely behind, scanning the living room which was simple and elegant without being luxurious.
Footsteps led to the bedroom, and upon opening the door, surprisingly many people were inside—men and women, old and young, likely the relatives and friends of the concerned party.
Seeing Gu Lili, the crowd quickly made way.
"Miss Gu, this is Mrs. Lin."
Gu Lili nodded her head, yet before she could speak, Deputy Head Lin Xingde extended his hand, "Hello, Miss Gu, thank you for coming to have a look."
"It’s no trouble." She politely shook his hand.
Her gaze fell on Mrs. Lin lying on the bed, seeing her moving restlessly as though afflicted with agitation, muttering under her breath, unclear what she was saying.
Most people could observe this.
But through her eyes, she saw another layer.
A homeless man with a face covered in blood was choking her soul, bizarrely occupying her body.
This homeless man also looked mentally unwell.
She lowered her head, took out a talisman paper from her bag, and recited a few spells; the talisman paper accurately adhered to Mrs. Lin’s forehead, and the previously restless woman instantly calmed down.
A few seconds later, she screamed out loud, writhing even more violently.
Everyone was shocked, and seeing his wife , Lin Xingde asked, "Miss Gu, what’s wrong with her?"
"It’s alright, she’ll be fine soon." As soon as the voice fell, Mrs. Lin suddenly sat upright, startling everyone.
"Mrs. Lin, are you alright?"
Mrs. Lin opened her eyes, looking dazedly around at the people and nodded her head.
Everyone was overjoyed, and Lin Xingde, full of gratitude, said, "Miss Gu, you are truly amazing. May I ask, what was wrong with my wife?"
"She was possessed by a mentally unstable homeless man; I’ve driven him out, no need to worry." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn novel⚑fire.net
"There’s no need for formalities, Deputy Head."
Instantly, the surrounding crowd praised Gu Lili abundantly, and knowing she was saved by Gu Lili, Mrs. Lin gave a grateful smile, "Miss Gu, I really don’t know how to repay your great kindness."
"Madam, you flatter me; to me, it was a minor matter."
Seeing that Mrs. Lin was now safe, the circle of relatives and friends gradually left, leaving only the four of them along with the Lin family of four.
The elderly couple insisted on having them stay for dinner, and unable to refuse, Ma Shijie and Gu Lili agreed.
Their youngest son went out to buy groceries, while the rest sat in the living room to chat and wait.
"I once saw news about Miss Gu; did you grow up with your master?"
"Yes, I am an orphan and don’t know who my biological parents are. It was my master who adopted me and raised me."
"That’s how it is, then Miss Gu you must have had a tough life, truly a child of misfortune," Mrs. Lin said with a gentle smile.
"Fortunately, my master treated me as his own and brought me up."
"Never thought about finding your parents?"
Gu Lili shook her head, "I never thought about it from a young age, now I’m living well. I don’t need my biological parents now, why should I look for them?"
"I have two sons and one daughter, the two brothers are already married with children, but this youngest daughter is still unmarried, probably about your age, how old are you, Miss Gu?"
