Back outside Linchuan Thirteenth High School.
Ning Wangshu first had his younger sister go get some lunch, and taking advantage of the time before class started, he went back with her to the rented apartment, grabbed the household register, and then went to the police station to replace her lost ID with a temporary ID card.
The official ID card would take a while to come out...
After getting the temporary ID card, Ning Wangshu immediately ran to the bank, opened a bank card, and conveniently deposited all of that one million in cash into the card.
Next, Ning Wangshu went to the Huawei authorized store in a nearby shopping mall, bought two of the latest top-tier P70 phones, and conveniently used his own ID card to register a new phone number at a nearby service hall...
Meanwhile.
At Zhang Yong's construction site, he was directing the workers to determine the correct positions and paste the four talismans Ning Wangshu had given him.
"Manager Zhang, they're all pasted..."
When the final talisman was also pasted in place, the worker who had been pasting the talismans couldn't help saying to Zhang Yong.
"Mm."
Zhang Yong nodded slightly.
"Manager Zhang, do you think... just these four pieces of blank paper are really useful?"
One worker couldn't help saying with a hint of suspicion.
Zhang Yong glanced at him and took a deep breath. In truth, even he himself was somewhat unconvinced.
Yet at this moment, apart from trusting Ning Wangshu, he had no other options.
So, he could only say, "Useful or not, this is all we can do. I just hope that nephew of He Mingyuan wasn't lying to me..."
Having spoken, Zhang Yong let out a long sigh.
At that moment, a worker on the side suddenly let out a startled cry.
"Oh, Manager Zhang, look over there!"
Zhang Yong was startled and hurriedly raised his head.
He saw that the talisman just pasted suddenly vibrated with a "hum" and abruptly burst forth with a brilliant flash of spiritual light that shot straight up into the sky!
The other three directions simultaneously shot out a beam of spiritual light as well, instantly intersecting mid-air before transforming into a light-barrier-like sheen that enveloped the entire construction site!
Yet very soon, that light barrier vanished from their sight...
Just as everyone was startled, a burst of shrill, squeaking screeches suddenly came from somewhere unknown.
Immediately following.
Before their horrified gazes, cluster after cluster of black Qi abruptly surged from the ground all around, and within every single cluster of black Qi there was actually a paper figure with a malevolent, exceptionally fierce expression!
The quantity was actually no fewer than twenty or thirty of them!
This scene nearly scared those workers, including Zhang Yong, out of their wits. Their legs couldn't stop trembling as they gazed with terrified expressions at those paper figures wrapped in black Qi, screeching shrilly like Malevolent Ghosts.
Never had they imagined that there would be so many of these paper figure Evil Spirits right here in the construction site!
"Paper figures! Paper figures again! Good heavens, there are way too many of them..."
One of the workers failed to control the terror in his heart, screamed in panic, and collapsed directly onto the ground.
The others were not much better off.
Every single one of them was trembling all over, their faces pale white, their eyes filled with terror. They felt their throats go parched and dry, swallowing hard while struggling to breathe, unable to even move an inch as they seemed terrified that those paper figures would lunge toward them...
However, their worries were unfounded.
After those paper figures rushed out, they didn't pay any attention to them at all. Instead, they roared furiously and lunged straight at the four pasted talismans.
However.
Before those paper figures could even get close, those four pieces of paper that had originally appeared completely blank suddenly revealed strings of talismans radiating a faint spiritual light!
The next moment.
Streaks of purple thunder suddenly burst forth from those talismans, instantly and fiercely striking those paper figures.
"Screech--"
In an instant.
The vast construction site was filled with the piercing screeches of those paper figures, and then raging flames ignited across their bodies, burning them to ashes in a flash that scattered away with the wind...
Seeing that fully twenty to thirty paper figure Evil Spirits were struck dead in a split second by the thunder bursting forth from those few talismans, everyone was struck dumb.
"This..."
The workers opened their eyes wide in shock, staring blankly at those few talismans.
"Hiss... This is way too powerful! They actually dealt with so many Evil Spirits and killed them all with just a single move? Those few pieces of white paper really are talismans!!"
Some worker could no longer hold back and cried out in shock.
Zhang Yong's eyes shone brightly as he said excitedly, "Ha-ha, Brother Ning is truly a genuine expert! Such minor Evil Spirits are simply no match for Brother Ning's talismans!"
"It was worth it! Spending that one million was totally worth it!"
"With these talismans suppressing this place, there's no need to worry about any Evil Spirits or the like ever again..."
Zhang Yong's face was flushed with excitement.
Immediately afterward, he let out a long sigh, finally feeling at ease.
At the same time, he finally confirmed that the few pieces of paper Ning Wangshu gave him really were talismans. He hadn't been hoodwinked, nor had he played the fool by trading one million for four pieces of blank paper!
In fact, the four talismans Ning Wangshu gave Zhang Yong possessed quite considerable power.
If the goal was merely to deal with those paper figure Evil Spirits, a single one would actually have been sufficient.
However, this location was a Yin Gathering Place, so if he wanted to truly eliminate the future trouble, he had to completely purify the Yin Qi of this place.
Otherwise, with Yin Qi gathering here, even if those paper figure Evil Spirits were temporarily destroyed, other Evil Spirits would still be attracted to roost here in the future.
This was precisely why Ning Wangshu told Zhang Yong it would take three days to completely eradicate the problem.
For these four talismans required about three days' time to completely purify the Yin Qi that had gathered in this place!
In the outskirts of Linchuan, within a lavishly decorated villa.
A man with a knife scar across his forehead and a rough, fierce expression was currently leaning back on a sofa, with over a dozen underlings standing before him.
At this moment, the man said in a deep voice, "A Hui, how is it? Have you managed to get in touch with Lei Zi and A Bao?"
Hearing the man's inquiry, one of the underlings hurriedly stepped forward and shook his head, saying, "Brother Long, there's still no news from Lei Zi and A Bao. Calling their phones prompts a powered-off message, and I've sent WeChat messages without seeing a single reply from them."
Jiang Long's brow immediately furrowed. "What on earth are those two fellows up to!"
"I already promised Young Master Xu that I'd help him resolve this within a week. Five days have already passed by. If I still can't get the Letter of Understanding, how am I supposed to answer to Young Master Xu?"
Jiang Long's tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
A Hui hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother Long, could it be... that something happened to Lei Zi and A Bao?"
Before Jiang Long could speak, another person on the side couldn't help saying, "They only went to find a wet-behind-the-ears, yellow-haired brat. What could possibly happen?"
"That's true too!"
A Hui acknowledged, then added, "Yesterday morning, Lei Zi and A Bao still told me they had found out where the little girl had moved to, and that they were heading over to find her right then. After that, they couldn't be reached."
"Brother Long, how about... I take a few men and go look for that little girl myself?"
"Regardless of what kind of situation Lei Zi and A Bao ran into that made them unreachable, since you promised Young Master Xu, we still need to quickly find that little girl and help Young Master Xu get the Letter of Understanding."
Hearing this, Jiang Long thought for a moment and nodded slightly. "Fine! A Hui, you take a few men to find that little girl and help Young Master Xu get the Letter of Understanding into his hands first."
"Don't you worry, Brother Long. When Lei Zi and A Bao contacted me yesterday, they mentioned where that little girl lives. I'll just take some men directly over there to corner her."
A Hui replied.
