Back outside Linchuan Thirteenth High School.

Ning Wangshu first took his younger sister to grab lunch. Taking advantage of the time before class, he went back to the rental apartment with her, grabbed the household registration booklet, and then headed to the police station to get a temporary ID card.

The official ID card wouldn't come through for a while...

After getting the temporary ID card, Ning Wangshu immediately ran to the bank, opened an account, and deposited all one million in cash into the card.

Next, Ning Wangshu went to a Huawei authorized store in a nearby mall and bought two of the latest top-tier P70 phones. He also got a SIM card at a nearby service center using his own ID.

Meanwhile.

At Zhang Yong's construction site, he was directing the workers to confirm the positions and paste the four talismans Ning Wangshu had given him.

"Manager Zhang, they're all pasted..."

When the last talisman was up, the worker who had pasted them spoke to Zhang Yong.

"Hmm."

Zhang Yong nodded slightly.

"Manager Zhang, do you think... just these four pieces of white paper will really work?"

A worker couldn't help asking with some doubt.

Zhang Yong glanced at him and took a deep breath. He himself wasn't entirely sure either.

But at this moment, besides trusting Ning Wangshu, he had no other choice.

So he could only say, "Whether it works or not, this is all we can do. I just hope He Mingyuan's nephew hasn't lied to me..."

After saying this, Zhang Yong let out a long breath.

Just then, a worker beside him suddenly let out a surprised sound.

"Yi, Manager Zhang, look!"

Zhang Yong was startled and quickly looked up.

He saw that the talisman they had just pasted suddenly trembled with a Weng, bursting into a brilliant spiritual light that shot straight into the sky!

From the other three directions, beams of light also shot up simultaneously, converging in midair in an instant, then forming a curtain of light that enveloped the entire construction site!

But soon, the curtain vanished from their sight...

Just as everyone was marveling, a sudden sharp "squeaking" sound came from somewhere unknown.

Then.

To their shocked horror, clusters of black qi surged out from the ground all around. Within each cluster of black qi was a paper figure with a ferocious, hideous face!

There were no less than twenty or thirty of them!

This sight nearly made the workers, including Zhang Yong, piss themselves. Their legs trembled uncontrollably as they stared in terror at those paper figures, wrapped in black qi, shrieking harshly like malevolent ghosts.

They never imagined there would be so many of these paper figure evil spirits in the construction site!

"Paper figures! More paper figures! My god, there are so many..."

One worker couldn't contain his fear, screaming in panic as he fell flat on his ass.

The others weren't much better.

Every one of them was trembling all over, faces pale as death, eyes filled with terror. Their mouths were dry, and they swallowed hard with difficulty, not daring to move, as if afraid those paper figures would pounce on them...

But they were worrying too much.

After the paper figures burst out, they paid no attention to the workers at all. Instead, they roared angrily and lunged straight at the four pasted talismans.

However.

Before those paper figures could get close, the four blank white papers suddenly revealed talismans glowing with faint spiritual light!

The next moment.

Purple thunderbolts suddenly erupted from those talismans, slamming fiercely into the paper figures.

"Squeak--"

In an instant.

The entire construction site was filled with the paper figures' piercing screams. Then flames burst out on their bodies, and in the blink of an eye, they were burned to ashes, scattering with the wind...

Seeing those twenty or thirty paper figure evil spirits killed in an instant by the thunderbolts from the talismans, everyone was stunned.

"This..."

The workers stared wide-eyed in shock, dumbfoundedly looking at those talismans.

"Sigh... That's incredible! Just like that, all those evil spirits were struck dead? Those white papers really are talismans!"

One worker couldn't hold back and shouted in shock.

Zhang Yong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly, "Haha, Brother Ning is truly a real master! Those petty evil spirits are nothing before Brother Ning's talismans!"

"Worth it! That one million was well spent!"

"With these talismans suppressing this place, there's no need to worry about any evil spirits or the like anymore..."

Zhang Yong's face was flushed with excitement.

Then, he let out a long breath, finally feeling relieved.

At the same time, he had also confirmed that the few sheets Ning Wangshu had given him were indeed talismans, not a trick, and that he hadn't been taken for a fool, trading one million for four blank pieces of paper!

In truth, the four talismans Ning Wangshu had given Zhang Yong were no small matter in power.

If it were merely to deal with those paper figure evil spirits, a single one would have sufficed.

However, this place was a Yin Gathering Place. To truly eliminate future trouble, the yin energy here had to be completely purified.

Otherwise, with yin energy converging here, even if those paper figure evil spirits were temporarily destroyed, other evil entities would still be attracted to roost here in the future.

That was why Ning Wangshu had told Zhang Yong it would take three days to completely root out the problem.

Because these four talismans needed about three days to fully purify the yin energy gathered in this place!

In the outskirts of Linchuan, inside a lavishly decorated villa.

A man with a scar across his forehead and a rough, fierce face was lounging on a sofa, with over a dozen underlings standing before him.

At that moment, the man spoke in a deep voice, "A Hui, how is it? Have you gotten in touch with Lei Zi and A Bao?"

Hearing the man's question, one of the underlings quickly stepped forward, shaking his head. "Brother Long, there's still no news from Lei Zi or A Bao. Their phones are off when I call, and I've sent WeChat messages, but they haven't replied."

Jiang Long's eyebrows furrowed. "What the hell are those two guys up to!"

"I promised Young Master Xu I'd have it settled within a week. It's already been five days. If I can't get the Letter of Understanding in time, how am I supposed to explain myself to Young Master Xu?"

Jiang Long's tone carried a hint of displeasure.

A Hui hesitated for a moment, then said, "Brother Long, could it be... that something happened to Lei Zi and A Bao?"

Before Jiang Long could respond, another person nearby couldn't help but say, "They were just going after some wet-behind-the-ears little girl. What could possibly happen to them?"

"That's true!"

A Hui acknowledged, then added, "Yesterday morning, Lei Zi and A Bao told me they'd found where that Little Girl had moved to. They were heading over to find her, and after that, we lost contact with them."

"Brother Long, how about... I take a few more men to find that Little Girl?"

"Regardless of what happened to Lei Zi and A Bao that cut off contact, since you promised Young Master Xu, we'd better hurry and find that Little Girl to help Young Master Xu get the Letter of Understanding."

Hearing this, Jiang Long thought for a moment and gave a slight nod. "Fine. A Hui, take a few men and find that Little Girl. Get the Letter of Understanding for Young Master Xu first, and we'll talk about the rest later."

"Brother Long, don't worry. When Lei Zi and A Bao contacted me yesterday, they mentioned where that Little Girl was staying. I'll just take the men straight there and corner her."

A Hui replied.
