"Lu Fei, what did you see?"
In the last room of the hotel.
Jing Jian and the others looked at Lu Fei with curiosity and urgency.
"The hanged ghost was actually killed by that young master of the factory," Lu Fei sighed, giving a brief description of what he had seen in the hanged ghost's memories.
After hearing such a strange and tragic story, everyone gasped in shock.
"What exactly did that beast give her?" Tiesheng Lan clenched her fists in anger.
"I don't think she knew herself, but that thing burrowed into her body and turned her into a monster, neither human nor ghost,"
Lu Fei shook his head.
"So the white-haired ghost on the roof, it was her transformed body?" Jing Jian mused.
"It's possible!" Lu Fei nodded in agreement, "Ah Xiang couldn't bear the torment and hanged herself, but even after her death, the evil thing inside her didn't let her go, and completely turned her into a monster."
"What did she turn into exactly?" Tiesheng Lan recalled the white-haired female ghost on the roof last night.
But the female ghost was positioned high up on the roof, so they could only see her long white hair and a hideous head.
"I think if we meet it again tonight, we will know. It's no longer Ah Xiang, but a monster hatched from her body."
Lu Fei had some suspicions, but he couldn't be entirely sure.
"She is so pitiful." Tie Shenglan looked at the hanging rope again, and her fierce gaze turned to sympathy.
"Turning a person into a monster, they are worse than beasts!" Jing Jian gritted his teeth, "Why would the Jin father and son do such an inhuman thing?"
"For what else? Of course, for the Golden Spinning Silk that can make them a fortune!" Lu Fei sneered.
"They are already rich enough, running a factory and managing dozens of people! They don't need to worry about food and clothing, so what more do they want?" Zhang Molidon couldn't understand.
"Greed, never satisfied."
Lu Fei waved his hand.
"We have a busy night ahead, everyone should rest first and gather your strength to do the job well!"
"Right! Gather our strength and never let the Jin father and son succeed!"
Thinking of the despicable faces of that father and son, everyone held their breath in anger.
But they hadn't rested for long when Zhang Molin's phone started vibrating urgently.
"Mr. Zhu, what's wrong?"
"Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu is gone! He slipped out of the hospital while I was sleeping." Old Zhu's voice was tinged with sobs.
"What?"
Zhang Molin was greatly shocked and woke up the others.
"Mr. Zhu, don't panic, we'll be right over."
The group didn't bother to sleep anymore and immediately rushed to the hospital.
"He must not have given up and has gone to find Young Master Jin..." Old Zhu was extremely anxious.
"Too rash! That father and son are ruthless, he's going to get himself killed..." Before Jing Jian could finish his sentence, everyone glared at him fiercely, and he hurriedly shut up.
"Old man, wait for us at the hospital. We'll go and find people..." Zhang Molid helped Old Zhu to sit down.
"If Little Zhu really went to the Jin family, I don't think we need to look for him," Lu Fei said instead.
"Why?"
Everyone was very puzzled.
That father and son have no humanity. If Little Zhu falls into their hands, what good could come of it?
"Firstly, if we go to ask for him, they definitely won't admit it," Lu Fei explained slowly, "Secondly, no matter how reckless they are, they harm people with evil objects and dare not do it with their own hands. Moreover, killing Little Zhu directly would be of no benefit to them."
What does that mean?
Tie Shenglan was the first to react: "They will send Little Zhu to that dormitory, to feed..."
"Still, Miss Shenglan is smart!" Lu Fei nodded, "So, there's no use in us looking for the father and son of the Jin family now!"
"But just sitting and waiting without doing anything, is that all we can do?" Zhang Molid felt uneasy.
Old Man Zhu also couldn't sit still.
Lu Fei thought for a moment: "We can go to the Jin family and check out the situation, but we must not alert them so as not to startle the snake."
Everyone was ready to take action immediately.
Old Man Zhu also stood up.
"Old man, you'd better not go. Let me be blunt, your presence would only add to the chaos. If anything happens, it won't be of any help in rescuing Xiaozhu; you would only be a burden."
Lu Fei patted his shoulder.
His old face quivered, knowing that Lu Fei was telling the truth.
"Moreover, you'd better not stay at the hospital either, to avoid any trouble from the Jin father and son," Lu Fei waved at Hu Zi.
"Hu Zi, find a place to settle Old Man Zhu and take good care of him."
The group quickly split into two teams.
Lu Fei and the other three quietly arrived outside the Jin family's small villa.
The villa was very quiet, with no sign of disturbance.
They circled around the small villa and finally discovered a shoe not far from the gate.
"This is Xiao Zhu's shoe!"
"Sure enough, they've captured him!"
"Should we go in and save him?"
"No, don't alert them. We'll just keep an eye on them from outside. At night, they will definitely take Xiao Zhu to the factory."
The four quickly stepped back, planning to find a suitable spot for surveillance, when suddenly they felt a chill down their spines.
Startled, they turned around abruptly.
In the chaotic alley stood a group of hoodlums, smoking cigarettes, swinging wooden sticks in their hands, their eyes filled with ill intent.
"I was just worrying about where to find you, and you delivered yourselves right to my doorstep! Haha!"
"You didn't even bother to ask around. Who do you think runs Taiping Town?"
The leader, a burly man with a fierce face, was extremely arrogant.
"A bunch of外来的小东西who don't know their place, daring to offend Mr. Jin!"
"Let me tell you, in Taiping Town, dragons must coil and Hu Zis must crouch! Today, I'll teach you some manners!"
Lu Fei and the others exchanged glances, finding it all quite amusing.
"Get them!"
Feeling insulted, the burly man waved his hand.
"Kill!"
The thugs brandished their sticks ferociously, buzzing like flies as they charged forward.
"Let me handle this!
Tie Shenglan stepped forward, flexing her hands and rubbing them together.
"Wow, a soft-skinned little girl! With such a pretty face and figure, let big brother take good care of you..." The first hooligan to approach lewdly reached out towards Tie Shenglan.
"Take care?"
Tie Shenglan's eyes turned cold, and she grabbed the hooligan's wrist, twisting it back.
There was a loud crack.
"Ow ow ow!" The hooligan cradled his broken wrist and screamed as he stumbled backward.
The other hooligans were startled and stopped in their tracks.
"What's the panic? Just a little girl! Get her!" The leader roared angrily.
The hooligans charged forward again.
There was a series of loud bangs and crashes in the alley.
The thugs lay sprawled on the ground, groaning in agony.
Lu Fei and the other two watched with great interest.
As expected from the daughter of a martial arts family, even her actions when hitting people were so elegant!
The leader of the gang was dumbfounded, his face pale as a sheet.
"What did you say just now?"
Tie Shenglan took a step forward with her long legs, her face as cold as ice, approaching the big man.
"I was wrong, female hero, spare my life..." The big man retreated in fear.
Tie Shenglan raised her hand, ready to deal with this disgusting henchman.
Whoosh!
A fist-sized, eerie black shadow suddenly leaped out from behind the burly man.
"Be careful!"
Lu Fei's face changed, and he immediately rushed forward. He had seen the outline of this black shadow in the memory of the hanged ghost.
Fortunately, Tie Shenglan reacted extremely quickly, stepping back with a few jumps to avoid the strange thing.
Lu Fei stood in front of her, his eyes coldly fixed on the space behind the burly man.
There, an extremely alluring woman appeared.
Her face was hidden in the shadows, but she had a fiery figure and was dressed in exotic attire.
Strangely, her arms were covered in peculiar tattoos, resembling some kind of runes.
