Yun Zi'ang went out and headed straight for Qiu An's residence.

When Qiu An opened the door and saw it was him, his face darkened immediately: "Here we go again. I haven't settled the score with you for tricking me into catching zombies last time."

"This time it's not about catching zombies." Yun Ziang squeezed through the door, slamming it shut behind him, his face serious. "It's about catching someone. Zhou Kai, the one from Qicheng Real Estate. Keep an eye on him for me, see who he meets with, where he goes, and what he does."

Qiu An leaned back on the sofa and crossed her legs: "I'm not going."

Why?

"Brother Qiu, Grandpa Qiu, Ancestor Qiu." Yun Ziang squatted down in front of him, clasping his hands together. "Just take a look for me, just one look. That six-fingered monster, I always feel like he's right next to us."

"Please, please help me investigate Zhou Kai. He must know something."

Qiu An glanced at him sideways: "Do I have to investigate every little cat and dog now?"

"Am I really that free?"

"I had no other choice, you're the most capable person I know!" Yun Zi'ang said confidently. "You can turn invisible, right? You can also change your appearance. You could easily blend in as a waiter or a deliveryman, wouldn't you?"

Qiu An looked at Yun Zi'ang with a helpless expression.

The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and then Qiu An suddenly sighed: "Do you know that I must have owed the Yun family something in my past life?"

That night, Qiu An went to the private club that Zhou Kai frequented.

Disguised as a waiter, he mingled among a group of waiters serving drinks, head down, walking at a leisurely pace, carrying a tray through the corridor and into the room Zhou Kai had booked.

Zhou Kai sat on the sofa by the window, surrounded by two or three people who were talking in hushed tones. Several documents were spread out on the table, and the ashtray was piled high with cigarette butts.

When Qiu An pushed open the door, Zhou Kai was folding up a document and stuffing it into his briefcase.

Qiu An carried the wine over and bent down to place the glasses on the table one by one.

When he was two steps away from Zhou Kai, the jade Guanyin pendant around Zhou Kai's neck suddenly lit up.

The light was extremely brief, like a spark streaking across the darkness.

Ordinary people couldn't see it, but in Qiu An's eyes, the light was like a bolt of lightning striking in front of him.

He instinctively stepped back, nearly tipping the tray in his hands.

The golden light on the jade Guanyin appeared and then disappeared. Zhou Kai seemed to have sensed something and turned his head to glance in his direction.

Qiu An lowered his head, using the action of adjusting the cups on the table to cover his face, took two steps back, and turned to leave the private room.

He stood in the corridor, closed his eyes briefly, and felt a burning sensation in his eyes as if he had been pricked by a needle the moment he got close.

Qiu An left the club, quickly walked to the street corner, and took out his phone to call Yun Zi'ang. As soon as the call connected, he said, "I can't get close. He has something on him."

"What is it?" Yun Ziang's voice tightened.

"Jade Guanyin." Qiu An rubbed his stinging eyes. "It seems you'll have to figure it out yourself."

"Okay," Yun Ziang replied.

The Yun family was also busy. After receiving the information from Fu Zongxu, Yun Mingyi did not delay for a moment.

He and Yun Mingyuan held a meeting overnight and finalized a plan.

The next morning, Yun Mingyuan, along with his lawyers and finance team, formally submitted evidence of Qicheng Real Estate's tax evasion and illegal land acquisition to the tax and land departments.

The Fu family also exerted pressure, and several banks simultaneously withdrew their loans.

Qicheng Real Estate's cash flow dried up within 48 hours, all five of Zhou Kai's projects under construction were halted, and three partners publicly announced the termination of their contracts.

Zhou Kai was taken away from his office.

He was on the phone when the door was pushed open, and two uniformed men walked in, showed their badges, and said, "Mr. Zhou Kai, you are suspected of tax evasion, illegal land acquisition, and manipulation of bidding. Please come with us."

Zhou Kai hung up the phone, slowly stood up, his face expressionless, as if he had expected it.

Zhou Kun only learned of Zhou Kai's arrest the day after it happened.

He sat in his empty villa, the television in front of him broadcasting news about Qicheng Real Estate.

He pushed his wheelchair to the window, looked at the gray sky outside, and suddenly laughed, but his eyes were full of malice.

He dialed that number.

"Zhuang Huai-ren," Zhou Kun's voice was somber, "the Yun family is still causing trouble. Is what you gave me even useful?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Zhuang Huai-ren said, "The Yun family is fine now because someone is sabotaging them."

"Has the Yun family recently gained an extra person?"

Zhou Kun frowned. "There's an extra child. A four-year-old girl, Yun Zhengbang got her from somewhere. What can a child do?"

"There must be others." Zhuang Huai-ren's voice was flat, so flat that no emotion could be detected. "Zhou Kun, you gave me a lot of money, and I did do a lot of things. But this time, it's different. The Yun family has met a benefactor."

Zhou Kun was silent for a few seconds, then said, "I don't care what method you use. Help me this one last time."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

So long that Zhou Kun thought Zhuang Huai Ren was dead.

Then Zhuang Huai-ren said, "Okay. One last time."

Late at night, in the Yun family villa, Xiao Jin was half asleep.

In her dream, she stood in a white fog and saw a familiar figure in the distance—a gray Taoist robe, a messy beard, and a bamboo cane in his hand.

It's Master.

Xiao Jin ran over happily, but before she got there, her master suddenly turned around and tapped her on the head with his bamboo cane.

"Still sleeping?" The master's voice was hoarse and loud, carrying a hint of disappointed disdain. "They've come to bully us, and you're still sleeping?"

Xiao Jin rubbed her head, which had been hit, and looked aggrieved: "Master, who bullied Xiao Jin?"

"See for yourself." The master reached out and slapped her on the forehead.

Xiao Jin suddenly opened her eyes.

She first saw the ceiling, then the bedside lamp; everything seemed normal.

But when she looked up a little, a ghostly face was hovering less than half a foot above her head.

The creature had a blue face and fangs, deep-set eyes, and was exhaling black smoke. It was lowering its head and getting close to her face, as if it were smelling something.

Xiao Jin stared at the ghost face for two seconds.

She didn't yell or flinch, but just blinked and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

The ghost seemed stunned by her reaction, paused for a moment, then suddenly swooped down, opened its mouth, and bit Xiao Jin's forehead.

But as soon as its mouth touched Xiao Jin's skin, it suddenly stopped.

It was as if it had bumped into an invisible wall; its entire ghostly face contorted for a moment, then revealed an extremely terrified expression, and it turned to run away.

Xiao Jin stretched out her arm and grabbed its ankle.

She grabbed the ghost's ankle and pulled it back. The ghost, like a cat whose tail had been pulled, let out a sharp howl.

Xiao Jin pulled it in front of her, opened her mouth, aimed at its kicking foot, and bit down.

The ghost's screams stopped abruptly.

The ghost deflated like a punctured balloon, turning into a wisp of black smoke, which Xiao Jin swallowed with a gulp.

She licked her lips, as if savoring something, then muttered, "It's Xiao Jin's turn to bite you."

She sat up, rubbed her eyes, and looked around. "Why is there another smell?"

Xiao Jin got out of bed and walked outside barefoot, when she noticed a ghostly figure drifting past in the distance.

Xiao Jin followed behind, turning left and right, and finally stopped in front of Yun Ziang's room.

The ghostly figure slipped through the crack in the door.

Xiao Jin turned the doorknob and pushed the door open to go inside.

Yun Ziang was sleeping soundly on his back, the blanket rolled up in his arms.

The ghostly figure was hovering above his head, leaning down and pressing hard on his forehead.

Xiao Jin walked over, stood on tiptoe, reached out and grabbed the ghost by the back of its neck, pulled it down, and bit it.

Before the ghost could even scream, it turned into a wisp of black smoke and was sucked in. Xiao Jin licked her lips and looked around again.

Sure enough, another shadow drifted past the window, heading towards Yun Mingyuan's room.

Xiao Jin chased after them, crossed the corridor, and turned into Yun Mingyuan and Jiang Shulan's bedroom.

The ghostly figure was crouching at the foot of the bed, its black aura coiling around Yun Mingyuan like spider silk.

Without saying a word, Xiao Jin pounced on it and bit it in the mouth.

The ghost struggled in her mouth for a couple of moments, then dispersed.

Next, she found a fourth one behind the table in the living room, pounced on it, pinned it to the ground, and ate it clean.

Xiao Jin patted her tummy and let out a small burp.

A wisp of extremely thin black smoke rose from the hiccup. She quickly covered her mouth, looked around, and pretended nothing had happened.

But the commotion has already become quite big.

First, Yun Ziang was awakened by a strange noise, and rubbed his eyes as he came out to see what was going on.

Then Yun Mingyuan and Jiang Shulan also turned on the lights.

Yun Zhengbang came out of the room leaning on his cane, while Yun Mingyue stood at the top of the stairs wearing a coat.

"What's wrong? What happened?" Yun Mingyuan asked.

The living room lights suddenly switched on.

Everyone stood in the living room, still sleepy-eyed and looking bewildered.

Xiao Jin stood in the center of the living room, barefoot, her hair a mess.

She looked up and saw her family gathered around her. The expression on her little face slowly changed from satisfaction that said "I'm full" to shock.

She looked at them one by one—Yun Mingyuan, Jiang Shulan, Yun Ziang, Yun Mingyue, Yun Ziqian, and finally Yun Mingyi, who had just been woken up from his room and was standing at the top of the stairs with a cane.

She saw that each of them was shrouded in a layer of hazy, dark energy.

The dark aura pressed down from the top of their heads to the soles of their feet, covering the "light" on everyone's body.

Xiao Jin opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

"Little Miss?" Yun Zi'ang squatted down and looked at her closely. "What's wrong? Why are you standing in the living room all night instead of sleeping?"

Xiao Jin took a step back, her face pale.

She looked at Yun Ziang, then at her family members behind her, her voice trembling slightly: "You...you are all covered in black."

"What's black?" Yun Mingyuan frowned.

Xiao Jin raised her little hand, rubbed her eyes, then realized what was happening and started counting on her fingers, "One, two...five!"

"Xiao Jin ate five."

It's the Five Ghosts Moving Funeral Curse that destroys entire families!

Master is right, someone really did bully her!

"That bad guy attacked again!" Xiao Jin stomped her foot angrily. "This time, Xiao Jin is determined to catch him!"
