Gu Siheng and she glanced at each other, and they both thought of the same thing telepathically.
Jiang Shang frowned her delicate eyebrows, "Granny Qu and Lin Jingru are both very suspicious."
Although Jiang Shang and Gu Siheng were not clear about what Granny Qu was up to, they still sent people to keep an eye on her. As for Lin Jingru, Jiang Shang would visit her in person at the photo studio tomorrow.
The next morning, when Jiang Shang came downstairs from the spiral staircase, there were only about seven or eight people in the huge living room having breakfast, including Gu Ningxi.
Most of the Gu family members were not able to gather for breakfast, only for dinner.
Jiang Shang greeted everyone and then went to wash up and tidy herself up.
When she came out, a servant presented her with a piece of information.
"Miss Jiang, this is the information that Young Master Gu Siheng collected."
Jiang Shang took it and walked past Gu Ningxi. Gu Ningxi, who was already stealing glances at her, immediately noticed the words on the information.
News of the eat-up-the-widow?
Associating this woman's recent glorious deeds, Gu Ningxi quickly realized what this woman was up to, and her eyes darkened.
She dared to touch such a big piece of news.
Did she really have some skills, or was she just showing off in front of experts and actually being helped by someone behind her back?
Jiang Shang did not notice her expression. After getting the information, she left the old house and went straight to the photo studio where Lin Jingru was shooting.
Lin Jingru was shooting the MV of a male singer under Miss Music today, playing the female lead.
When Jiang Shang arrived at the scene, the staff were busy setting up the venue.
"Where is Lin Jingru?"
Gu Siheng had already greeted them in advance, and the advertising director recognized her at a glance. "Mrs. Gu, Miss Lin said that she wanted to add a photo shoot with her boyfriend after the MV was recorded. She should be in the lounge with her boyfriend now."
Jiang Shang gave a grunt and then walked towards the lounge.
Near the lounge door, the door was ajar, and one could see inside.
Jiang Shang's steps suddenly stopped at the door, and she was attracted by the woman's strange behavior.
The lounge was not lit, and there was no one else besides her. Lin Jingru was facing the mirror, gracefully combing her hair, and her tall figure was eye-catching.
The woman murmured softly, "When will you come?"
In front of the mirror was the black and white portrait of Qu Yan.
There was no terrifying black air on the woman's body, and she was not in a state of being possessed by a ghost.
If the Lin Jingru in front of her was herself, then... she was deliberately summoning Qu Yan's soul!
After realizing this, Jiang Shang's face changed instantly. Without thinking about the reason, she suddenly kicked open the door.
"What are you doing?!"
Lin Jingru was startled by her, and the wooden comb in her hand fell to the ground.
"It's because you're holding on to her that Qu Yan's soul has not returned to the underworld, right?"
"What on earth do you want to do? You know very well that you'll be in danger if you summon her."
Jiang Shang pressed towards her step by step, wanting to destroy the scene and stop her self-destructive behavior.
Lin Jingru's eyes suddenly became fierce. She didn't care where she came from and picked up the bowl at hand and began to beat it.
"What do you mean by me summoning her? She and I are both poor people. We're clearly benefiting each other."
"Even if I have to sacrifice my life, I'll make Qu Yan make Tang Xuan pay the price. No one can stop me!"
The frequency of Lin Jingru's beating of the bowl became faster and faster. The rhythmic sound not only summoned Qu Yan, who was hiding, but also attracted the hangers-on from all directions.
Jiang Shang's pupils shrank, and she rushed forward to grab her porcelain bowl. At this moment, Qu Yan's ghost entered Lin Jingru's body again.
"Snort... the smell of humans..."
"So fresh food..."
The hangers-on bared their teeth and wanted to get close to Jiang Shang, but they were all deterred by the righteousness on her body. They wanted to gather together and eat her.
Seeing the black air that filled Lin Jingru's body, Jiang Shang's pupils shrank. When she took out the yellow talisman in her pocket and wanted to force Qu Yan back, there was grievance and pleading on Qu Yan's terrifying face.
"Can you kill me later? Wait until I've dealt with that bastard Tang Xuan. After I've seen my granny one last time, I'll let you handle me..."
People all have a lifespan in the yang world and in the yin world. Assuming that a person's total lifespan is 120 years, the lifespan in the yang world and the yin world is split evenly. If a person who was supposed to die at the age of 60 died suddenly at the age of 30, the remaining 30 years of his lifespan in the yang world would not have been used up. He could only wander in the world. He needed someone to guide him to the underworld before he could be reincarnated.
Qu Yan could accompany Granny Qu in the world for several decades without being reincarnated. If Jiang Shang used the talisman paper to repel her, she would be destroyed. Even if Jiang Shang helped her to be exorcised, she would not be able to stay in the world anymore.
Hearing this, there was a flash of pity in Jiang Shang's eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she stuffed the talisman paper back into her pocket.
"I can agree to your request, but you can't hurt Lin Jingru."
Qu Yan wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and agreed readily.
She had reached an agreement with Lin Jingru, and she had never thought of hurting her.
The talisman paper in Jiang Shang's hand had originally deterred the hangers-on around her. Once the talisman paper was put away, the little ghosts that were densely packed from all directions began to stir again.
Suddenly, the sunlight outside the window disappeared, and the temperature around them dropped by two degrees. Jiang Shang had a bad feeling.
The little ghosts that Lin Jingru had summoned were about to occupy this building.
Jiang Shang was panicked in her heart, but she still remained calm on the surface. She rummaged through the stack of talisman papers in her pocket and wanted to pull Qu Yan away from here, but she was blocked by the biggest hanger-on.
He stood behind Jiang Shang and said greasy words in a low voice, "Little girl, you're reading a book, and Uncle is looking at you..."
Jiang Shang pasted the talisman papers on the foreheads of the hangers-on, but she was still surrounded by enemies.
Just as Jiang Shang was a little desperate and wondering when she could solve the problem, the door of the lounge was suddenly opened, and a figure that was shrouded in purple light walked in.
"Shangshang?"
The moment Gu Siheng appeared, the purple light that surrounded his body burned many little ghosts. Even the big hanger-on could not get close to him. He could only look at him with hatred.
All the little ghosts panicked and retreated. They scattered in all directions and did not dare to get close to the lounge anymore.
After getting out of danger without any danger, Jiang Shang endured the panicked heart and asked about Qu Yan's purpose.
"What did Tang Xuan do? Why do you want to do this?"
Qu Yan, a dead person who was not afraid of death, had tricked Lin Jingru into doing such a thing. If she could do it once, she could do it a second time. She had to nip the second time in the bud.
Gu Siheng stood behind her, deterring the hangers-on around who were still not willing to give up.
Qu Yan sneered, and there was boundless hatred on her ferocious face.
"He has done all kinds of evil deeds to me. Even if he killed me, he still did not let go of my granny!"
"Even Lin Jingru's good friend was fascinated by this bastard and lost her life!"
Jiang Shang was full of surprise. She never thought that Tang Xuan had done so many evil deeds.
How could a bastard have so much ability?
Just as they were talking, there was suddenly a chaotic sound from outside, filling the whole building.
"Not good! Someone has hanged himself!"
"It's... it's Granny Qu from the news!"
