Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Shen Jingshu's eyes were slightly cold as she spoke calmly, "It's the hair of the entire Li family, young and old."

"The whole family?" Li Wenqian was shocked, and his face turned ashen.

"That's right." Shen Jingshu nodded, exposing Li Siya's most vicious selfishness in one sentence: "She has collected every single hair of the Li family's direct descendants—elders, peers, and juniors—and buried it in the main array eye."

Li Hanting's fingertips felt cold, his heart filled with both chill and rage, his voice suppressing a raging fire:

"She's incredibly ruthless! Stealing the Li family's fortune and secretly draining ours wasn't enough; she...she wants to completely wipe out the Li family!"

Years of planning, each step insidious and malicious.

On the surface, she is a kind and harmless aunt, a close relative; behind the scenes, she sets up evil formations, buries malevolent objects, collects the hair of the whole family, locks up lives, cuts off the family's fortune, and destroys the bloodline!

Shen Jingshu gazed at the clump of cold, dark hair and stated the final truth in a detached tone:

"She only steals luck; in the end, she can only profit by relying on others and depend on the Li family for survival."

"But if we use this extremely Yin clan-annihilation formation to completely exhaust the entire Li family, sever the Li family's bloodline, and destroy the Li family's foundation."

"With the destruction of the Li family and the extinction of all direct descendants, she, as the only remaining adopted daughter of the Li family, can rightfully and completely swallow up all of the Li family's industries, power, connections and foundation, and take over the Li family's century-old foundation for herself."

Every word was chilling to the bone.

It turns out that years of gentle facade and sibling affection were all a carefully crafted deception.

From the very beginning, Li Siya wanted more than just the advantage of good fortune—

What she wanted was for the entire Li family to be wiped out, to be doomed forever, so that they could benefit her Su family.

The fine strands of hair inside the cloth bag were tightly tangled together with black thread, and even just sitting there in the sunlight, they exuded an inescapable chill.

Li Wenqian stared at the pile of hair, his chest heaving violently. The composure and restraint he had cultivated over the years in a high position collapsed completely at this moment, and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.

She followed him around since she was a child, calling him "brother" in a soft, sweet voice. Over the decades, he has always taken care of her whenever he could. Whenever the Su family was in trouble, the Li family never stood idly by.

He never imagined that his beloved younger sister harbored a wicked intention to destroy the entire clan.

"I was so blind..." Li Wenqian's voice was hoarse and dry, his eyes filled with endless coldness and regret. "I thought of our sibling bond time and time again, and was considerate and tolerant in every way, but she secretly laid this trap to wipe out our entire family."

Li Hanting gripped the shovel tightly, his knuckles turning white, and the air around him was frighteningly oppressive. The rusty scissors, nails, and bloodstained strips of cloth that he had just dug out were neatly piled up to one side, each a deadly object.

"We can't keep her any longer." The young man's voice was cold and hard as ice. "If Jing Shu hadn't seen through the feng shui pattern today, in two years, when this formation is fully formed, none of us would have been able to escape disaster."

The loyal butler stood aside, looking at the harmful object before him, and sighed deeply: "The wickedness of the human heart is more terrifying than evil spirits. It's fortunate that Miss Shen came to the Li family, otherwise none of us would have been kept in the dark."

Shen Jingshu stepped forward slowly, bent down and gathered the black cloth bag together, a faint golden light condensing at her fingertips as she touched it. The black thread wrapped around the hair inside the bag instantly hissed and broke inch by inch, the Yin Qi black mist that had accumulated over the years and attached itself to the hair hissing and dissipating in the sunlight.

"The underground evil spirits are just the foundation." She raised her eyes to look at the direction of the villa's roof, her gaze sharp. "Li Siya has already activated a forbidden technique from beyond the borders. Although she is not here, a violent and malevolent evil spirit is rushing towards this house. Just now, we cleared the underground array eye, which is equivalent to cutting off most of her power. But she is fighting to the death and will definitely unleash her last evil methods."

Before he finished speaking, the light around the entire Li family villa suddenly went out.

On a sweltering summer day, a chilling wind suddenly swept through the courtyard, instantly extinguishing the life in the flowers and leaves, causing them to droop and wilt. A faint, pungent, and slightly fishy smell filled the air, making one's chest feel heavy.

Outside the distant gate, a faint black mist hovered in mid-air, and one could vaguely see Li Siya's ferocious and twisted outline, staring intently at the four people in the courtyard through the iron fence.

She didn't come in—the main array eye underground had been dug out, the foundation of the array had been destroyed, and the evil energy she summoned by expending her own vital energy had lost its foothold, so she could no longer step into the Li family mansion.

But the hatred in her eyes was almost tangible.

Even from a great distance, Li Siya's sharp, venomous voice drifted into the courtyard on the cold wind:

"Shen Jingshu! You ruined my scheme that I've been planning for years!"

"Li Wenqian, Li Hanting! You'd rather trust an outsider who joined halfway than a family member you grew up with? So what if you dug up the array today! What I can't have, no one else can have peacefully!"

Li Hanting stepped forward, gently shielding Shen Jingshu behind him, and coldly retorted, "Relatives wouldn't secretly plant spies and collect every hair of the family to try and wipe out the entire Li family. Li Siya, you are blinded by greed and practice evil magic; you are no longer worthy of talking about family ties."

Outside the courtyard, the black fog churned violently, and Li Siya laughed maniacally, her laughter shrill and piercing.

"Whether you deserve it or not is none of your business! Shen Jingshu, so what if you possess merit and righteousness? The evil spirits I summoned from overseas are arriving soon. Even if they can't destroy the Li family mansion, I'll drag you down into the karmic hell with me!"

Shen Jingshu calmly walked out from behind Li Hanting, her expression completely calm. She had already quietly prepared several yellow talismans in her hands, and the vast golden light of merit emanating from her body faintly peeked through her clothes, enveloping the entire courtyard like a golden barrier.

"You have already embarked on a dead end by wasting your lifespan, feeding evil spirits with your body, and driving evil spirits to harm people."

"I had only intended to break the formation and eliminate the evil spirits, leaving you a way to repent on your own. But you stubbornly refused to see the truth and insisted on adding more bloodshed to your karma."

She raised her hand, and the talisman floated automatically in front of her without any wind.

"Then don't blame me; I'll act according to the rules of the Xuanmen."

The housekeeper hurriedly carried out a wooden box from inside the house, as Shen Jingshu had instructed in advance. Inside, glutinous rice, cinnabar, peach wood nails, and incense sticks were neatly arranged, along with other ritual implements.

Li Wenqian took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Jing Shu, you can do whatever you want. The entire Li family trusts you completely. Afterwards, I will contact the Special Affairs Bureau and submit all the evidence, including the fact that she practiced Yin magic to harm people."

Just then, the black fog in the distance surged, and a chilling roar that sent shivers down one's spine grew louder as it approached.

The evil spirit that Li Siya hired from Thailand at great expense has already followed her scent and is heading towards the Li family.

The final showdown between good and evil is just around the corner.
