Destiny has a certain resistance to the energy of Yin Sha.
Because Gu Mengyang’s destiny had suddenly drained away, his own resistance to the energy of Yin Sha weakened, and the jade had to bear more pressure from the Yin Sha. What could have lasted six or seven days, the amulet naturally couldn’t last that long anymore.
Gu Mengyang, listening to Gu Zhiqi’s words, finally understood that it was this piece of jade that had saved his life.
He breathed out deeply before looking at Gu Zhiqi and asking, "So, what should we do now? Can the Yin Sha energy be dispersed simply by taking away these pieces of yellow paper?"
After a silent glance at Gu Mengyang, Gu Mengyang understood the look in her eyes. It practically spelled out "naïve" in big, bright letters.
He reached up and touched his nose.
Gu Zhiqi spoke with a languid tone, "Summoning the evil spirits is easy, but sending them away is difficult. We need Drawing Talismans and Arranging Formations just to attract the Sha; sending it away would only be more complex."
Sending it away would be too troublesome, and after all, sending them away would only mean they would continue to harm others—it would be better to eliminate them directly.
"Then what should we do?"
"Start by finding the person who placed the Talisman Paper." Gu Zhiqi said, stuffing a stack of Talisman Papers into her pocket, then pulled out her cell phone.
Chubby Chiu had already pulled up the surveillance video and sent it to her phone.
Only the surveillance from the place where the prime suspect appeared was sent, not from within the office, but from the corridor outside it.
"The surveillance footage was deleted at one point, but I’ve restored it. This person is the prime suspect, I have a premonition that it’s her!" Chubby Chiu boasted confidently.
Gu Zhiqi ignored it and started watching the surveillance video.
Gu Mengyang had just walked up beside Gu Zhiqi and, seeing the surveillance footage on her phone, he paused two seconds before asking, "Where did you get this surveillance footage?"
Wasn’t this from his company’s system?
"Someone gave it to me," Gu Zhiqi replied nonchalantly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Mengyang subconsciously connected this ’someone’ to Gu Yuluo.
After all, hacking into his company’s surveillance system was something Gu Yuluo loved to do.
So, without further query, he still stood next to Gu Zhiqi, watching the surveillance footage together.
When they saw a figure at the elevator entrance, a figure that seemed vaguely familiar, Gu Mengyang’s eyes darkened, "It’s her?"
"You know her?" Gu Zhiqi glanced at Gu Mengyang.
Gu Mengyang nodded, "Her name is Meng Xiao, she’s an old timer at the company, with good acting skills and business capabilities, she’s been top tier for three consecutive years, and is one of the company’s key cultivation targets." He stopped speaking at that point and turned to look at Gu Zhiqi, "Does this matter involve her?"
"Not certain yet." Gu Zhiqi shook her head and continued watching.
In the video, Meng Xiao walked quickly and appeared somewhat agitated, heading all the way to the door of the office.
Since Gu Mengyang wasn’t at the company, the office door was locked. Meng Xiao looked around for a while outside the door and then took a key from her pocket and opened the door.
"Did you give her that key?"
Gu Mengyang "... Do you think that’s possible?"
Gu Zhiqi shrugged; she had no idea.
"Li Xiao is in charge of the keys." Having said that, Gu Mengyang narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression becoming somewhat chilly.
Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows on hearing this.
As the two conversed, Meng Xiao had already been inside the office for quite a while on the video.
The footage only showed the outside corridor, not the inside of the office, so it was unclear what exactly had transpired there.
Gu Zhiqi’s gaze, however, never strayed from her phone, as though she could see inside the office just as well.
About five minutes later, Meng Xiao came out of the office.
