“I’ve asked around about her.”
“That witch with the last name Zhang is said to be already 100 years old this year. She’s in good health, free from illnesses and disasters.”
“She’s famous in the nearby villages around here. Everyone calls her Mrs. Zhang. Whenever there’s a wedding or funeral, or if someone wants to build a house or start some construction, they invite her to handle it.”
Obviously.
Wang Lin had already found out about the witch during his recent visit.
He asked, “Master Xu, that Mrs. Zhang seems to be from Guoqiao Village next door. Do you want me to contact the local police station and village committee to check her details?”
Xu Yang didn’t speak.
As if in deep thought, he fell silent for a few seconds before looking at Bai Wei and asking, “Miss Bai, do you know this Mrs. Zhang?”
Bai Wei was a bit startled.
Then she quickly reacted and said:
“Guoqiao Village is not small, there are eight or nine villages in total… This Mrs. Zhang should have nothing to do with the Zhang brothers, right?”
“Besides, 1 also visited their village at that time. If their village had someone like Mrs. Zhang, we would definitely know.”
“Just because they don’t live in the same village doesn’t mean they have no connection, right?”
Xu Yang shook his head: “In rural areas, there are many people who are related by marriage or blood in different villages… Wang Lin, contact Guoqiao Village and ask about Mrs. Zhang’s situation…”
“Alright!”
Wang Lin took out his mobile phone and went to the side to make a call.
Meanwhile, Xu Yang turned to Bai Wei and said, “Miss Bai… Why don’t we go take a look at Hong Jianlin’s house?”
“Okay.”
Bai Wei nodded her head.
The two of them arrived at the entrance of Hong Jianlin’s house.
Xu Yang saw an electronic gate for the first time. There was a doorbell with a video phone outside the gate. He pressed it a few times, but no one came to open the door.
At the same time.
Inside the villa.
Hong Jianlin and his second brother had already woken up.
The two sat sullenly on the sofa in the living room, heads bowed and smoking in silence.
Off to the side.
There were bouts of sobbing from time to time.
Hong Laoer suddenly looked up and roared, “Stop wailing, dammit! You all just know how to wail all day long. I’m not dead yet!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Do I not even have the right to cry?”
His wife got up abruptly and wailed, “You fall ill at the drop of a hat and attack whoever is close by, biting and hitting people. We’re constantly on edge, unable to sleep peacefully at night… How are we supposed to live like this?”
Her words seemed to strike a nerve in Mrs. Zhang.
Her tears came rushing out like a waterfall.
Hadn’t she been living like this too all these days?
Once, even in the middle of the night, her husband was afflicted with a sudden illness, nearly scaring her to death in the process.
“Stop wailing, all of you! I’ve already contacted Mrs. Zhang. In a few days, she will conduct a ritual for us, and everything will naturally be alright!”
Hong Jianlin spoke up.
“Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, always about Mrs. Zhang!”
“If it weren’t for that old witch, would our family be like this?”
His wife retorted, “It’s been several months already, haven’t we given quite a bit of money to Mrs. Zhang? We’ve also rebuilt your father’s grave. Did anything ever work?”
“NMLGB!”
Hong Jianlin’s wife got up and slapped her, an authoritative display.
“I told you all to take care of the old man, and you all find fault with everything and only know how to bicker!”
“When I suggested hiring a caretaker, you were all afraid of being laughed at by the neighbors!”
“We all agreed to invite Mrs. Zhang over back then. What’s the point of complaining now?”
Mrs. Zhang sobbed, covering her face. Hong Laoer’s wife, however, argued back fiercely, “Big Brother, what you’re saying doesn’t make sense. Taking care of the elderly isn’t just a woman’s responsibility. You spend your days drinking and fooling around outside. Why do we have to put up with all the dirty work?” “Besides, we’re all women, and there’s so much inconvenience in looking after an old man…”
Hong Laoer snapped, “Shut your mouth!”
For a while, the two families were tangled up in a heated argument that lasted for half an hour before finally subsiding.
After a long silence.
The eldest brother asked, “Where is Lao San?”
Second Brother: “He’s at the factory… I just called him, and he said his wife went back to her mother’s house, and he’s going to pick her up.”
“To hell with that, have him come back immediately!”
At this moment.
The doorbell rang.
When they saw the security monitor image, the second wife shouted, “It was her, she knocked out my husband!”
The first wife:” They must be from the police station… What should we do? Should we open the door?”
“Don’t open it!”
Outside the door.
Xu Yang had practically broken the doorbell, and the door still didn’t open. He asked, “Miss Bai, how do you normally deal with situations like this?”
Bai Wei said, “Our team is severely short-staffed, we don’t have time to argue with them.”
“I see!”
Xu Yang nodded and directly activated the Land Flight Skill, quickly stepping on the gate and leaping over it.
Bai Wei was taken aback, saying, “Master Xu, what 1 meant was that we usually don’t interfere in their affairs if they don’t want us to, as long as there’s no loss of life…”
Xu Yang:”…”
I’m already in, and now you tell me this?
I thought you wanted me to enforce the law by force!
He said, “Since we’re already here, let’s ask… Miss Bai, you’re a martial arts expert, this gate can’t stop you, right?”
Bai Wei had no choice but to follow him over the wall.
Upon entering the gate, the front door of the small western-style building was locked from the inside.
Xu Yang knocked on the door a few times, but not only did they not open it, they started cursing inside, spewing things like “trespassing into private residence”, “report”, and “complaint”.
Xu Yang lifted his foot, gathered his power, and kicked out forcefully!
Crash!
The sturdy door came crashing down.
“What are you doing? What are you doing?”
Hong Jianlin’s wife’s voice was sharp and shrill, exclaiming, “You actually dared to kick down the door… You actually dared to kick…”
Slap!
Xu Yang’s figure flashed, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Hong Jianlin’s wife. He lifted his hand and slapped her across the face.
The slap was crisp and clear, heavy and forceful, sending her spinning and crashing to the ground, unconscious.
Crap!
He used too much force!
A thought flashed through Xu Yang’s mind.
On the surface, however, he maintained an icy demeanor, his gaze sweeping over the remaining three people as he coldly said, “Hong Jianlin, Hong Laoer, I already know what you’ve done… Are you still not going to confess?”
The Hong brothers were obviously frightened by Xu Yang’s violent actions.
But they also knew the seriousness of the crime they had committed and why they couldn’t admit it easily.
Even Hong Laoer took out his phone, intending to call the police.
Xu Yang stretched out his hand and pointed, a wisp of flame shot out, and with a bang, the phone burst into flames. Fie sneered and said, “I knew you wouldn’t confess easily… Bai Wei, close the door, pull the curtains, I’m going to perform a ritual and summon Mr. Hong to confront them!”
As soon as he said this, Hong Laoer’s wife, who was already on the verge of a breakdown, collapsed to the ground, wailing, “I’ll tell… I’ll tell…”
“Big brother, my husband.”
“You might as well confess… Good begets good, evil begets evil…. Instead of living in constant fear, it’s better to be lenient if you confess!”
