Chapter 212 A Lucky Bag Containing Ashes
Zhou Qi couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaim, "Oh my god, Lao Lü, what is this thing? It's terrifying!"
No one responded to her; they all looked down at their phones.
When Lü Yan called for help, Yun Duo transformed into the shape of a little boy and swung to the roof of the car, bouncing around.
As the Audi veered out of control and crashed into the flowerbed, the little boy slipped into the back seat and covered her eyes with his hands.
After the car accident, the little boy turned back into a cloud, his color gradually fading until he disappeared into the sky.
Lu Yan shakily turned off his phone, not daring to look at it again.
Zhou Qi and Lu Xiao are women, and they are older. If their husbands hadn't been holding them, they probably would have fainted long ago.
"What are you doing?"
The sudden sound startled everyone, and Lü Yan almost dropped his phone.
Turning his head, he saw Li Xiaolin walking downstairs with a puzzled look on her face. Lu Hanmo quickly ran over to help her, saying, "Wife, slow down."
He winked at Cheng Ai, signaling her not to talk nonsense. She immediately understood, handed him a small piece of cake, and smiled without saying a word.
Li Xiaolin caught it blankly, then glanced at her husband with displeasure, and asked in a low voice through gritted teeth, "Xiao Ai is here and you didn't call me earlier, did you do this on purpose?"
"Wife, I'm innocent!" Lu Hanmo touched his nose, looking extremely innocent. "It was Xiao Ai'ai who told me not to wake you up!"
Li Xiaolin looked skeptical. "Really?"
Lu Hanmo nodded repeatedly, almost as if he were raising three fingers to swear an oath.
Cheng Ai ate two pieces of pastry, took a sip of the tea that Lü Yanxin had poured, and slowly said, "My agent asked me to go to the company for a brief training session this afternoon. Let's get down to business!"
After saying that, she straightened her clothes and went upstairs first.
Noticing a group of people following behind, Cheng Ai raised her hand to stop them, "Brother Lü, Sister Xiaolin, and I will go inside. Uncle Lü, go to sleep. The rest of you, disperse."
Upon hearing this, everyone became anxious, especially Lu Xiao and Li Aoshou. They didn't care about the child; they only hoped that their daughter would be safe.
Lu Yan said she was not in the mood to rest, and Zhou Qi insisted on accompanying her daughter-in-law, but Cheng Ai's attitude was very firm and did not allow her to refuse.
It took a lot of persuasion from Lü Hanmo to finally get the four elders to listen.
Upon entering the bedroom, Cheng Ai casually closed the door, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes darting around.
I didn't have time to check it carefully last time, but now that I look at it, there is indeed a big problem.
The amulet pasted in the corner of the room had long since lost its effectiveness. Although the blue protective cover covering the bed was still there, there seemed to be a crack at the top. If I hadn't come today, it would have broken by midnight.
She summoned a manifestation talisman and tossed it into the air. The talisman spontaneously combusted without wind, but it had no effect.
Cheng Ai gently stroked her chin, her delicate brows furrowed, which made the Lü couple tremble with fear.
If it's not a ghost, then it must be an evil entity filled with resentment.
She searched high and low, with the homeowner present, so there was absolutely no question of her privacy being violated.
"Little Ai Ai, what are you looking for? Let me help you?" Lu Hanmo asked tentatively.
"No need!" Cheng Ai tossed him two defensive talismans without pausing or looking up. "Your task is to protect Sister Xiaolin."
Lu Hanmo caught it steadily and carefully clutched the talisman. Li Xiaolin placed her hands on her lower abdomen, her delicate oval face scrunched up.
Recently, her whole family has been treating her as the center of attention, and she feels really embarrassed.
But for the sake of her baby and to put her elders at ease, she had no other choice.
Cheng Ai, panting heavily, finally found a pink bag in the gap under the bed near the bedside table.
The next second, Li Xiaolin exclaimed in surprise, "Oh! Isn't this the lucky bag Yunyan gave me a while ago? I accidentally lost it last week; it must have fallen off the bed!"
Cheng Ai rubbed her thumb together thoughtfully. "Did Liao Yunyan give it to you?"
“Yes!” Li Xiaolin tried to take it back, but the other person dodged her.
Lu Hanmo was taken aback, and pulled his wife back warily, looking puzzled. "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
“The lucky bag is normal, it’s the contents that are the problem.” Cheng Ai casually picked up a glass, opened the pink bag, and poured out some powder that looked like incense ash. “If I’m not mistaken, this should be ashes.”
"What?!" Li Xiaolin's face changed drastically, and it took her a long time to stammer out, "Yunyan said that the lucky bag was obtained from a temple and has the power to ward off evil spirits. Could it be that the monks there accidentally took the wrong one?"
“How could a sacred Buddhist site possibly hide ashes?” Lu Hanmo helped her sit on the edge of the bed, his face as cold as ice. “Xiao Ai’ai, are you saying that Yunyan framed Xiaolin? But my husband and I have always treated her very well; she had no motive to do such a thing!”
Cheng Ai turned the pink bag over, revealing a string of numbers.
When Li Xiaolin saw it, she was so frightened that her spine went cold and her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Lu Hanmo clenched his fists, his face full of anger. Liao Yunyan had written his wife's birthday in the lucky bag containing her ashes; anyone with eyes could see what was going on.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to control his emotions. "What can I do to save my daughter's life?"
Cheng Ai placed the glass on the coffee table, quickly formed hand seals, and focused her gaze with sharp intensity.
Strands of blue light spilled from the fingertips, covering the entire rim of the glass. In a short while, the ashes slowly condensed into the index finger of a young woman.
At the same time, the protective shield around the bed shattered instantly. Lu Hanmo subconsciously raised the defensive talisman, and the two talisman papers spontaneously combusted, completely losing their effectiveness.
The index finger bends and jumps, frantically hitting the glass arm, but no matter how much it struggles, it cannot escape.
In the end, it can only scatter back into ash, lifelessly settling at the bottom of the cup.
Cheng Ai sneered, poured the ashes back into the pink bag, took out a soul-suppressing talisman from her crossbody bag and stuck it on the bag, then bit her finger and smeared the blood all over Li Xiaolin's bracelet before smiling faintly, "It's done."
Lu Hanmo belatedly realized what was happening and, along with his wife, repeatedly expressed their gratitude.
He wanted to ask about Liao Yunyan, but Cheng Ai remained silent and didn't say a word.
The moment the three of them stepped out of the bedroom, Lu Xiao, Zhou Qi, and Li Aoshou immediately surrounded them, staring at them expectantly.
Upon learning that Li Xiaolin was safe, smiles appeared on everyone's faces.
During lunch, the servants heated up the food and brought it to the table. Cheng Ai specifically told them not to disturb Lü Yan.
When Lü Hanmo asked about the cost of performing the mystical arts this time, she smiled faintly and said it was free.
It's just finishing up; she's not so heartless as to demand exorbitant prices every time.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, a private car drove up to the gate of the Lü family's house. It was a car sent by Ye Jingke to pick them up.
Cheng Ai popped the last cherry from the fruit plate into her mouth before slowly getting up. "Wake Uncle Lü up and tell him to give me back the jade hairpin!"
Zhou Qi hurriedly went upstairs and knocked on the door. When the other person came out in a daze, she stared wide-eyed in horror, "Old, Old Lü, where did the scar on your right cheek go?"
