CHAPTER 41: CHAPTER 41: FULFILLMENT

Ji Hua quieted down, falling straight backward with a thud.

Halfway through their run, Mu Keying and Ji Changxing heard the noise and turned back again to see Ji Hua lying on the ground. They exchanged glances, simultaneously recalling what Xia Mian had said when they visited her three days ago.

Within three days, Ji Hua will still be in mortal danger!

"Go find her!" Ji Changxing said without a second thought, and sprinted back upstairs.

Mu Keying, pale-faced, went upstairs and looked at Ji Ling, who was standing by Ji Hua’s side. Her gaze was somewhat scrutinizing, "How did you get hold of this thing?"

Ji Ling patted her hands indifferently, "A friend gave it to me, do you need to control this too?"

Mu Keying didn’t continue to entangle with Ji Ling. The urgent matter was to quickly resolve Ji Hua’s possession.

Mu Keying and Ji Changxing changed their clothes, gathered courage, and helped Ji Hua, whose forehead was topped with a talisman, into the car.

Ji Hua now was covered in blood, lying stiffly in the back seat.

"Old Ji, is it appropriate for us to go now?" Mu Keying was sitting in the passenger seat, her face still ghostly white.

It’s already midnight, knocking on the Song Family’s door at such a late hour, wouldn’t they think we were crazy?

"Saving lives is the priority." Ji Changxing said gravely, starting the car straight for the Song Family.

However, when they arrived in haste at the Song Family, they were informed that Xia Mian was not there.

Xia Mian is not there!!!!

Ji Changxing was dumbfounded, suddenly feeling a moment of utter loss!

"Where is she now?" Ji Changxing almost knelt in front of Song Juan.

Seeing Ji Changxing in such a posture, Song Juan’s mood was extremely complicated.

In just over a month, she had witnessed all sorts of people seeking her daughter.

What exactly happened to her daughter? Was the dream she spoke of really just a dream?

"Ms. Song, saving a life is a favor greater than building a Seventh Level pagoda, please tell us Miss Xia’s whereabouts. Once my son’s life is saved, we will surely offer a generous reward!" Mu Keying pleaded urgently.

Song Juan, being a mother, naturally understood Mu Keying’s feelings at this moment.

"If you’re really looking for her, go to the Lu Family!" Song Juan pressed her lips together, "She’ll be visiting the Lu Family these days."

Feeling sympathetic, she revealed Xia Mian’s whereabouts.

Lu Family?

Mu Keying and Ji Changxing exchanged glances, bid farewell to Song Juan, and without a moment’s pause, turned and rushed straight to the Lu Family.

Ji Hua lying in the back seat of the car, eyes wide open, staring straight at the car ceiling like a cold, numb puppet.

When Ji Changxing drove to the Lu Family, the Lu Family was already enveloped in quiet.

Before Ji Changxing and Mu Keying could approach the Lu Family villa, someone blocked their way.

"Who are you?" Sun Wen stopped Ji Changxing and Mu Keying, looking vigilant.

"We are looking for Miss Xia." Ji Changxing didn’t have time to bother with Sun Wen, speaking bluntly, "Please inform her."

Sun Wen suspiciously swept his eyes over them, thinking how quickly word had spread, someone was already seeking out Xia Mian tonight just after she moved into the Lu Family!

"Miss Xia isn’t here!" Sun Wen’s expression was one of aloofness.

Miss Xia residing in Lu Family was only known to the Lu Family, not to be revealed to outsiders.

Otherwise, wouldn’t Miss Xia’s reputation be ruined?

"Please allow some leniency, we just came from the Song Family..." Mu Keying pleaded urgently, in a desperate hurry.

Their eerie son was still lying in the car; if they returned without success tonight, it would be hard to say whether Ji Hua would live or die.

Sun Wen frowned, knowing that if they came from the Song Family, it meant Miss Xia’s mother was aware.

Sun Wen hesitated to decide whether to inform them, when suddenly Ji Changxing’s car made a loud noise.

Sun Wen and Guo Kuang immediately looked towards the car, where moonlight revealed a bloody hand resting on the window, blood flowing down the glass, and a blood-covered face suddenly appeared at the window, eyes scarlet, resembling an evil ghost from hell.

Ji Changxing and Mu Keying were so frightened their legs went limp, collapsing to the ground.

Ji Hua’s forehead talisman was gone...

"What do we do, Old Ji!" Mu Keying cried desperately.

Ji Changxing was pale, "Run!"

Ji Hua was already incoherent, not recognizing anyone, waiting to tear them apart if they didn’t flee?

Sun Wen and Guo Kuang also finally realized the severity, Sun Wen immediately called Lu Zechuan.

Guo Kuang held a defensive baton as he vigilantly kept his eyes on the vehicle.

As Ji Hua continually hammered the window, it finally couldn’t withstand, shattering to the ground.

Ji Hua climbed out through the window, his crawling posture eerie and awkward.

Ji Hua approached step by step, while Sun Wen, Guo Kuang, and the Ji couple slowly retreated.

The atmosphere was tense and strange at this moment.

Ji Hua crawled out of the car, hands on the ground, lifting his head, revealing his teeth like a dog toward the crowd.

Mu Keying was so frightened she clung to Ji Changxing, too weak to take another step.

"Hua Zi! Come to your senses!" Mu Keying wanted to cry.

That day, when they returned from the hospital, Ji Hua showed no signs. They hadn’t taken Xia Mian’s words to heart.

Had they known his ailment would act up so quickly, she would have insisted on seeking help from Xia Mian three days ago!

Ji Hua seemed to ignore it, darting toward Sun Wen and Guo Kuang like a hunting leopard.

Sun Wen and Guo Kuang were trained, not allowing Ji Hua near.

Yet in Ji Hua’s delirious state, his strength was surprisingly great, seizing the defensive baton Sun Wen swung, pulling him close as if feeling no pain!

Meanwhile, he opened his mouth set to bite Sun Wen’s neck!

Guo Kuang reacted swiftly, kicking toward Ji Hua’s back.

Ji Hua, kicked in the back, spat a mouthful of blood, becoming even more frenzied.

Mu Keying and Ji Changxing were frantically anxious, concerned that their son might be beaten to death by these burly Lu Family bodyguards!

Just as Mu Keying and Ji Changxing were panicking, the villa door opened, and Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian stepped out.

Xia Mian only briefly sized up the situation before understanding Ji Hua had acted up.

"Everyone step back!" Xia Mian commanded deeply, already moving forward.

Ji Hua’s current state was far from normal; fighting Ji Hua would never cause him to fall, even if beaten to death.

Moreover, given Ji Hua’s identity, dying at the Lu Family’s doorstep was inappropriate.

Following Xia Mian’s order, Sun Wen and Guo Kuang immediately withdrew to the side.

Xia Mian moved swiftly, arriving at Ji Hua in the blink of an eye, and upon reaching him, she quickly bit her middle finger, using blood to draw a talisman on Ji Hua, leaving a Purification Talisman.

Ji Hua, filled with malevolence and unusually violent, rolled his eyes and collapsed to the ground.

Mu Keying and Ji Changxing promptly rushed over, "Miss Xia, our Hua Zi, is he dead?"

Xia Mian glanced down at the prone Ji Hua, "He won’t die."

Turning her gaze, Xia Mian looked at Mu Keying and Ji Changxing, "Do you believe now?"
