Chapter 100 Then I'll send them on their way ahead of time!
"What else did he say?" Liu Wanhua grabbed Jiang Manli's arm and asked anxiously, her nails digging deep into her flesh. "Did he mention the hospital? Did he mention the nurse who delivered your baby?"
"No! Not yet!" Jiang Manli shook her head, crying.
"But he said he'd dig three feet into the ground to find out! If he keeps investigating, he'll eventually find out what happened back then, Mom! What if he finds out that Jiang Xinlan and I were born on the same day in the same hospital? We'd be finished!"
"I don't want to be kicked out of the Jiang family! I don't want to become penniless! I don't want to go to jail, Mom!" She clung to Liu Wanhua's waist, crying her heart out. "I'm used to living the life of a pampered young lady. Without money, I simply can't survive!"
"Stop crying! What's the use of crying!" Liu Wanhua snapped, forcing herself to calm down. She paced back and forth in the room, her fingers clenched tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, leaving several bloody marks.
There's no turning back now. Jiang Zhenbang is already suspicious, and with his investigation so thorough, it won't be long before he uncovers the secrets from back then.
Their only hope was Liu Qingxuan.
Only Liu Qingxuan could have killed Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan. Once they're dead, there's no way to prove anything! Even if Jiang Zhenbang finds out something, without Jiang Xinlan as living evidence, he can't do anything to them!
"Let's go! We're going to Qingxuan Temple to find your uncle right now!" Liu Wanhua grabbed Jiang Manli, her eyes turning fierce and resolute. "At this point, we have no choice but to let him make his move first! If we wait any longer, we're all doomed!"
The mother and daughter didn't dare to delay. Without even changing their clothes or touching up their makeup, they hurriedly grabbed their car keys and drove to Qingxuan Temple on Qixia Mountain.
Inside the main hall of Qingxuan Temple, incense smoke swirled, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Liu Qingxuan, dressed in a moon-white Taoist robe, stood before the altar, holding a peach wood sword in his hand, chanting incantations as he set up the Three Yin Death Formation.
Strange black runes were drawn on the ground, and eight black pottery jars were placed around them. The mouths of the jars were sealed with yellow talismans, and they exuded a nauseating smell of blood and cold.
Hearing hurried footsteps, he slowly turned around and saw Liu Wanhua and Jiang Manli rushing in. He frowned, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure:
"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come here without news of me? What if Jiang Zhenbang's men see you?"
"Qingxuan! We can't worry about anything else! Something's happened!" Liu Wanhua rushed to him, grabbed his arm, her voice trembling with tears.
"Jiang Zhenbang has started to suspect! He's sent people to investigate Jiang Xinlan's background, even the hospital where she was born! If we don't take action soon, we're all finished!"
"What?!" Liu Qingxuan's face instantly darkened, and he slammed the peach wood sword heavily onto the altar, making a dull thud.
"That Jiang Zhenbang, he's quick on the uptake! I thought he'd investigate for at least another half a month!"
"Yes! We never expected him to be so persistent!" Liu Wanhua was so anxious that tears streamed down her face.
"Just because Jiang Xinlan looks like Shen Jiao, he's investigating like a madman! Give him a few more days, and he'll definitely find out about what happened at Beijing First Hospital back then! Then none of us will escape!"
"Qingxuan, you must save my daughter and me!" She knelt down in front of Liu Qingxuan with a thud, crying as she spoke.
"Our lives depend on you! Manli is your own daughter! You can't just stand by and watch her be kicked out of the Jiang family and go to jail!"
"Get up quickly! The ground is cold!" Liu Qingxuan hurriedly helped her up, his eyes so sinister they could drip water.
"Don't worry! I've already prepared! The Three Yin Death Formation is set up. I originally planned to make my move at midnight tonight, but since Jiang Zhenbang is so eager to die, I'll send them on their way ahead of time!"
"I have already set up eight array points around the Xishan Villa. Tonight at 11:45, I will personally lure the evil spirits into the array."
This Three Yin Deadly Curse was made by me using the resentment of ninety-nine people who died violent deaths. Even if Shen Yu has some skill, he absolutely cannot stop it!
"At that time, he and Jiang Xinlan will be devoured by the Yin energy until not even bones are left, and no one will be able to trace it back to us!"
"Really?" Liu Wanhua was overjoyed, grabbing his hand tightly. "Qingxuan, I knew you were the most capable! With you here, we're not afraid of anything!"
She turned to look at Jiang Manli, who was still trembling beside her, pinched her hard, and gave her a wink.
Jiang Manli was stunned for a moment, a hint of reluctance flashing across her face. For so many years, she had always called Liu Qingxuan "uncle," never anything else.
But when she thought of everything she was about to lose, and of the Jiang family's wealth and status, she gritted her teeth, walked up to Liu Qingxuan, lowered her head, and called out clearly in a voice barely audible, "Dad."
That one word, "Dad," struck Liu Qingxuan like an electric current.
He shuddered, abruptly raised his head, and stared at Jiang Manli in disbelief, his eyes instantly filling with tears.
His biggest regret in life was that he couldn't openly acknowledge his daughter; he could only stay by her side as her uncle.
All these years, everything he did and everyone he killed was so that Jiang Manli could become the eldest daughter of the Jiang family in a grand and glorious way and inherit everything from the Jiang family.
"Oh! Oh! My dear daughter!" Liu Qingxuan's voice trembled with emotion as he reached out and hugged Jiang Manli tightly, patting her back, tears streaming down his face.
"Dad finally heard you call me Dad! All these years, Dad's love for you hasn't been in vain!"
He released Jiang Manli, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his gaze became incredibly firm, even carrying a hint of madness:
"Manli, don't worry! Even if it destroys all my cultivation, even if it costs me my life, I will protect you and your mother! Tonight I'll go to the West Mountain villa and kill Shen Yu and Jiang Xinlan with my own hands!"
"Once we deal with them, Jiang Zhenbang will have no evidence and won't be able to do anything to us. Afterwards, I'll find a chance to send Jiang Zhenbang to meet the King of Hell, and everything the Jiang family owns will be yours!"
"Daddy will make you the most glamorous young lady in Beijing! Whatever you want, Daddy will buy it for you! And if anyone dares to bully you, Daddy will kill them!"
"Thank you, Dad!" Jiang Manli squeezed out a few tears, hugged his arm affectionately, and finally felt relieved.
Liu Qingxuan was so pleased with the word "Dad" that he was completely overwhelmed with joy.
He patted his chest, taking full responsibility: "Don't worry! After tonight, no one will be able to threaten us anymore! You all go back and wait for my good news!"
Seeing this, Liu Wanhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that Liu Qingxuan was now completely desperate. With his words, she and her daughter were safe.
