Wan Ruo stared firmly and fiercely at Mrs. Zhang, her imposing manner overwhelming. Mrs. Zhang was also shocked, then looked a bit guilty and averted her eyes as she said, "Your, your mother's bracelet and the old lady's silver were, were all robbed!"
Seeing Mrs. Zhang's uneasiness, Wan Ruo naturally didn't believe her. She placed her hand on Mrs. Zhang's shoulder and questioned again, "Really?"
"Really, really. It's really not with me!" Mrs. Zhang said nervously.
Who would believe your nonsense? We'll only know after a try!
At some point, Wan Ruo deliberately took out a small puppet and fiddled with it in front of Mrs. Zhang. There was a strand of hair wrapped around it, Mrs. Zhang's hair. When she patted Mrs. Zhang on the shoulder, she had managed to pluck a strand of hair without being noticed!
She then took out a talisman and pasted it on the puppet. Sighing at Mrs. Zhang, she said, "I originally wanted to give you a chance, but you just don't make good use of it!"
Seeing the puppet in Wan Ruo's hand, Mrs. Zhang got a bit panicked. "You, what are you going to do?..."
"Nothing. Just performing a magic trick for you!" Wan Ruo gently pinched the puppet's belly. Immediately, Mrs. Zhang felt a sharp pain in her stomach. She covered her belly and shouted, "Ouch, ouch! It hurts so much!"
Uncle, who was standing beside them, quickly stepped forward to support Mrs. Zhang. "You, what's wrong with you? You evil witch! What on earth did you do to her?"
"Evil witch? So this is how you've always seen me?"
"Who doesn't know you're a fox girl? You killed your mother when you were born. You're a jinx!" Uncle scolded her bluntly.
Hearing these words, which felt like stabs to her heart, Wan Ruo said, "Good. It makes me feel more at ease to take action now. Otherwise, I might really hesitate!" After saying that, Wan Ruo slapped the puppet twice and tightly grabbed its neck!
"Ah!..." At this moment, Mrs. Zhang seemed to be slapped twice out of thin air and her neck was tightly grabbed. Her face showed great discomfort. She covered her neck tightly with both hands and tried to struggle.
Uncle was extremely frightened by Mrs. Zhang's reaction. He stepped back repeatedly and shouted, "Evil witch, evil witch!"
"Shut up quickly!" Mrs. Zhang, with a flushed face, managed to squeeze out a few words. She was almost out of breath.
Seeing this, Uncle came to his senses. He quickly knelt down and kowtowed for mercy. "Wan Ruo, please spare us! We were wrong. Please spare, spare her. Please, please!"
Only then did Wan Ruo slowly let go of her hand. Only then did Mrs. Zhang start to gasp for air, feeling as if she had almost died.
"This is just a small punishment for you. I'll ask you one last time! Are you going to hand over my mother's jade bracelet or not?" Wan Ruo threatened.
Mrs. Zhang, as if she had been reborn, coughed twice and said weakly and intermittently, "Really, it's not with me. It was really snatched away by the debt collectors! No matter how much you torture me, it's useless!"
"Yes, yes! Your aunt is in this state! She surely won't lie to you!"
Wan Ruo watched as the two of them sang in chorus. "Fine. I'll believe you just this once! If I find out that you've lied to me..." Wan Ruo stared sharply at Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang said nervously, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!"
"Good. Let's put an end to this matter for now! Also, since you've already sold me, from now on, I have nothing to do with you anymore! As you wish, the house is yours. You'd better take good care of yourselves!" After saying that, Wan Ruo removed the hair and the talisman from the puppet, waved her hand in the air, and instantly turned the talisman and hair into ashes. Then she turned around and left.
On her way back to Shananfang, Wan Ruo, who was already in a gloomy mood, unexpectedly saw a few men bullying a weak girl in an alley on the street.
This act of bullying a decent girl in broad daylight was really intolerable!
"Hey! You guys!" Wan Ruo shouted.
The four ferocious men turned their heads when they heard the shout and looked at Wan Ruo. Only then did Wan Ruo see the girl's face clearly through the gap. Qin Manman?
Looking at the fierce looks of the four men, Wan Ruo swallowed nervously and forced a smile awkwardly. She was just about to make a quick getaway!
At this moment, Qin Manman saw Wan Ruo as if she had seen a savior. She shouted loudly, "Sister, save me!"
Sister? This damned girl. When did she get so close to me? Isn't she deliberately dragging me into trouble?
"Stop!"
The shout scared Wan Ruo and made her stop the steps she was about to take to escape. She thought to herself that she really couldn't escape even if she didn't want to get involved. She turned around, took a deep breath, and asked with a forced calm smile, "Are you guys the ones who came to the Qin family to collect the debt?"
Two thin men with scars on their faces stepped forward. They didn't look like good people at first sight.
Looking at the weak girl in front of them, they couldn't help but look her up and down while laughing mockingly. "Yes! So what? Did you come here on your own to pay off the debt?"
The two of them looked at each other and burst into mocking laughter.
At this moment, Wan Ruo suddenly noticed a wooden box in the hand of a man behind the two thin men. Wan Ruo frowned slightly. Isn't that Grandma's wooden box? It seems you guys are the very debt collectors!
Wan Ruo had an idea. While the two men were still laughing heartily, she took advantage of their inattention, leaped twice in succession, and quickly jumped in front of the two men who were holding Qin Manman. She took advantage of their surprise and pasted two talismans on their backs. Then she snatched the wooden box from their hands and quickly jumped back. Her speed was so fast that they didn't even have a chance to react.
After landing, Wan Ruo held the wooden box with one hand and started to cast a spell with the other. "The Heavenly Worthy of the Numinous Treasure, comfort the body. In accordance with the urgent decree of the law!"
Just as the two thin men in front reacted and rushed towards Wan Ruo angrily, instead of being afraid, Wan Ruo tilted her head and made a face.
Just as the two men were about to reach out and grab Wan Ruo, without them noticing, the two strong men who were holding Qin Manman behind them respectively grabbed their shoulders. The thin men turned around and saw that the two men's eyes were dull, but their grip was really strong.
One of the thin men angrily asked, "What, what are you two doing?" Before he could finish his sentence, he was thrown to the ground by the strong man with one hand. With a thud, he fell heavily to the ground. Then the other thin man was also thrown to the ground.
Qin Manman was shivering with cold sweat at the side. What kind of sorcery was this?
Wan Ruo looked at the two thin men who had been badly thrown and couldn't help but shake her head. She calmly opened the wooden box, and her face instantly darkened. "Where's the bracelet in here? I'm asking you. Where's the bracelet?"
The thin man with a scar on his face gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain in his body. He propped himself up and said, "What bracelet? There's no bracelet!"
Wan Ruo walked up to the scarred man with the wooden box, grabbed his collar, and questioned him, "There was a jade bracelet in this box. Quickly tell me. Where on earth is it?"
Looking at the wooden box, the scarred man widened his pupils and said innocently, "I really don't know there was a bracelet in it! I really don't know!"
