Xiao Jin patted his back, soothing him like a child: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, with Xiao Jin here, bad things won't dare to come near."

"You still dare to talk back!" Yun Ziang raised his head, his eyes red and accusing. "You actually conspired with that fox Qiu An to deceive me, and even took my memories—"

Before she could finish speaking, her mouth was covered tightly by a soft, warm little hand.

Xiao Jin stood on tiptoe and blinked at him frantically, her eyelashes fluttering, indicating that there were other people around and he shouldn't say anything.

Yun Zi'ang choked abruptly, only then realizing—Yun Ziqian was still standing there!

His brother had no idea that Qiu An was a fox demon, let alone anything about a death calamity.

He quickly shut his mouth and nodded vigorously at Xiao Jin to show that he understood.

Xiao Jin then let go of his hand, turned her back to Yun Ziqian and smiled, "It's nothing, it's nothing. My grand-nephew Zi'ang just tripped and fell, he was frightened."

Yun Ziqian raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping between the two of them, clearly realizing that they were hiding something from him.

But he didn't press further, only saying casually, "Let's talk about it back in the ward. What kind of image is it to be squatting in the corridor in the middle of the night?"

Yun Ziang quickly got up from the ground and followed closely behind Xiao Jin, like a frightened wolf, not daring to leave her side for even a moment.

The three of them returned to the ward, and had only been sitting for two minutes when Yun Ziqian's phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID, got up, and walked to the door. "Hello, this is Yun Ziqian... Okay, go ahead..."

The ward door closed, and the room instantly fell silent.

Yun Zi'ang immediately moved closer to Xiao Jin, his voice low and urgent, "Little Miss, what do we do now? Is my death really imminent? Am I really going to die?"

"Do you have a solution?"

"Don't panic." Xiao Jin sat on the edge of the bed, swinging her short legs, and said to him earnestly, "Qiu An has already transformed into your appearance and gone to Shanghai to participate in the competition, just to lure out that bad guy who wants to harm you."

"If you stay put and make a good substitute straw doll for me, all the disasters will pass."

"Qiu An went in my place?" Yun Zi'ang was taken aback, his heart suddenly warming. He muttered, "That fox, he's sharp-tongued, but he's actually quite loyal when it counts...good brother!"

He had just finished his reflection when suddenly his mind went blank, and the phone call from Liu Kaile that morning flashed into his head.

"Wait!" Yun Zi'ang's expression changed drastically. "Oh no, oh no!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Jin tilted her head to look at him.

"Liu Kaile called me this morning, saying he saw me in Shanghai and wanted to ask me out to dinner." Yun Ziang slapped his thigh, pacing anxiously. "I even cursed him for seeing a ghost, but now that I think about it, it wasn't a ghost, it was Qiu An!"

"I even had Liu Kaile detain that fake Yun Ziang! Oh no, oh no, will he expose Qiu An?"

Xiao Jin frowned slightly: "Really? An An said that no one can see through his illusions."

"Oh my god! I'm afraid Liu Kaile has detained him!" Yun Ziang grabbed his phone, his fingers flying across the screen. "No, no, I have to find a reason to fool him right away. I can't let him ruin everything."

His mind raced, and after pondering for a long time, he finally came up with an explanation.

I told him that I was just teasing him this morning, playing a joke on him.

Her fingers flew across the keyboard as she quickly sent Liu Kaile a message: "I was just teasing you this morning, why are you taking it so seriously? I was just joking, trying to prank you."

Less than half a minute after the message was sent, Liu Kaile's reply popped up.

[Brother Ang, it really isn't!]

The thing I saw last night wasn't you; it must have been something dirty!

[I also encountered something unclean this morning. My family already consulted a fortune teller who said I'm being haunted by something unclean, something I picked up yesterday!]

Yun Zi'ang was completely confused and quickly typed a message asking, "What dirty stuff? Stop talking nonsense."

[A fox spirit! The master says I've offended a fox spirit!]

Upon seeing the words "fox spirit," Yun Ziang's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

"It's all over! It's all over!" His face turned pale, and he turned to look at Xiao Jin. "Qiu An has given himself away! The master Liu Kaile consulted has figured out there's a fox demon!"

"Huh?" Xiao Jin was also stunned. "How could this be...?"

Just as she was about to ask Yun Ziang for more details, the smartwatch on her wrist suddenly buzzed. The screen lit up; it was a video call from Qiu An.

"It's An'an!" Xiao Jin quickly answered the call.

Qiu An's face appeared on the screen. He was standing in the hotel corridor, his brows slightly furrowed, against a quiet background.

"Xiao Jin, the plan might have to change." He cut to the chase, his voice low. "I'm being watched now."

"What's wrong, An'an?" Xiao Jin asked quickly.

Qiu An pursed her lips and recounted the whole story: "Last night, I disguised myself as Yun Ziang and went to a bar with people from the club, where I ran into Liu Kaile."

"He was surrounded by a kind of eerie aura, like he was possessed by a spirit or something. I told him to go home early and not stay outside, but he wouldn't listen, so I got him drunk and threw him back into the Lanting Hotel."

"The reason I asked you about the Ouija board during the day was also because of him."

"I originally wanted to go check on him at noon today, but he brought a fortune teller to the hotel to perform a ritual. That half-baked Taoist priest couldn't figure out the female ghost haunting him, but instead he set his sights on me, insisting that I was a fox demon and that he was chasing after me to exorcise me."

Xiao Jin scratched her head, surprised that there were so many twists and turns in the process.

"What should we do then?"

"Although that person is only a half-baked expert, the Bagua mirror he has is real. Dragging this out will be disadvantageous for me." Qiu An's tone was calm. "I'm afraid the competition plan can't proceed as originally planned."

"No, no!" Yun Ziang immediately moved closer to the camera, anxiously saying, "If we don't follow the plan, I'm doomed! Qiu An, you can't let me down!"

Qiu An glanced at him but ignored him.

Xiao Jin's eyes suddenly lit up. Remembering what her master had said before, she quickly said, "An'an, tell him your name, and then he will give you three noodles."

My master said that if I encounter any trouble, I should tell people my name.

Qiu An was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding.

Yun Zi'ang hesitated for a couple of seconds before translating, "What you mean, young lady... if you give your name, the Taoist priest will give you some face and won't pester you?"

"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I mean!" Xiao Jin nodded vigorously.

Yun Zi'ang raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "Young lady, is your name that powerful in this industry?"

Xiao Jin hesitated for two seconds, then said, "Master said this will make me famous."

Qiu An interrupted the two and said, "I have another way. That Taoist priest is now convinced that 'Yun Zi'ang' is a fox demon. As long as the real Yun Zi'ang shows up and dispels his doubts, this matter can be resolved."

"I'll take the blame and play in the match the day after tomorrow, so as not to delay luring the enemy out of their hole."

Xiao Jin blinked, tilted her head, thought for a couple of seconds, and then her eyes lit up: "That seems like a good idea! That way the bad guys won't find out!"

Yun Zi'ang: "..."

He pointed to his nose, looking completely bewildered: "Huh? You want me to go to Shanghai?"

He looked miserable. "I don't dare."

He is afraid of death.

Upon hearing this, Qiu An said quietly, "You keep calling me 'brother' all the time, but now that I'm in trouble, you're not going to care?"

Yun Ziang clicked his tongue, feeling somewhat embarrassed as he touched his nose. "I didn't say I wouldn't care."

"But you two have to protect me."

"I would never let anything happen to you," Qiu An said in a somewhat domineering tone, but it reassured Yun Zi'ang.

He reluctantly agreed, "Then it's settled. I can book my flight to Shanghai tomorrow."

"Come quickly." Qiu An only replied with two words before hanging up the phone.

Yun Ziang sighed and looked at the plane tickets.

When Yun Ziqian returned and heard that Yun Ziang was taking Xiao Jin to Shanghai, he couldn't help but frown. "What are you taking Xiao Jin for?"

Yun Zi'ang hesitated and couldn't get a clear answer. It was Xiao Jin who spoke up, saying she wanted to watch the race. Yun Ziqian didn't press further, only instructing Yun Zi'ang to take good care of Xiao Jin.

-

The next morning at nine o'clock, the two children landed in Shanghai.

As soon as he landed, Yun Ziang called Qiu An.

"Hey, where are you?"

"We've arrived."

Qiu An said, "Let's not meet for now."

"I'll send you a picture of that master; be careful."

"Oh, by the way, why don't you go check on Liu Kaile first? He's not doing too well right now."

"Okay," Yun Ziang agreed and hung up the phone.

Xiao Jin followed Yun Ziang, holding a glass of iced cola and drinking it with relish.

"Let's go, little auntie, let's go see that fortune teller who's been chasing Qiu An." Yun Zi'ang reached out and took Xiao Jin's arm.

Xiao Jin looked up at Yun Ziang and laughed, "Grand-nephew, this is so delicious! Xiao Jin wants more!"

Yun Ziang reached out and patted Xiao Jin's head, but firmly refused, "No, you've already had two drinks, you can't drink anymore."

Xiao Jin pouted unhappily, shook Yun Ziang's arm, and said coquettishly, "Xiao Jin will only drink a little bit."

"No." Yun Ziang ignored Xiao Jin's bright eyes and called Liu Kaile.

"Hmph!" Xiao Jin stomped her foot angrily and muttered under her breath, "Ziqian's grand-nephew is still the best."

Ziqian's grandnephew looks cold and tough, but in reality, he softens quickly if you just beg him.

Yun Ziang made two calls, but Liu Kaile didn't answer either.

Recalling what Qiu An had said, Yun Ziang had a bad feeling, and he turned around and made another call.

When the call connected, Yun Ziang's tone unconsciously carried a hint of anxiety:

"Yan Tao, can you get in touch with Liu Kaile?"

Yan Tao replied, "Brother Ang, Liu Kaile is in trouble. He's in a coma and in the hospital, and he hasn't woken up yet!"

He is currently at Nanshan Hospital.
