Li Mazi’s eyes turned red when he saw that. I pressed him down again, making him stay still. 

“If we don’t 

go

 out there, she will be killed!” Li Mazi hiss

ed.

At this

 moment, Feng Yuanzheng heard someone

’s 

voice in the park. He immediately loosened his gri

p and looked 

around to find the source of the sound. 

Then

, the entire park suddenly rattled with noise, followed by many birds flying in the sky

. They were 

attempting to 

do a suicidal

 attack. 

“See? Zhang Yan isn’t stupid. Do you think she would let someone kill her so easily?” 

I was also worried

, b

ut my intuition told me that Zhang Yan would have a backup! I patted Li Mazi’s face and stopped recording. 

After p

utting my phone away, I continued to watch. 

In just 

the

 blink of an eye, Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu were under attack. The birds scratched them. They were bleeding hard, and their clothes were ragged. 

At first, I wanted to give them a lesson. 

However

, they were still human

.

 I couldn’t just stand here and watch them 

get

 killed. 

They were almost tortured to death. I jingled the 

Illusory

 Mind Bell

, and t

he birds fell 

to the ground

. 

After b

eing rescued, Feng Yuanzheng and Li Qiushu turned to me and then to Zhang Yan

. 

They were scared. “You know everything?” 

“If you don’t want people to know your dark deeds, 

you shouldn't do bad things in the first place

!” I didn’t even give them a second look

 and 

directly 

called

the police

. When the police arrived, I gave them the footage video of the other two attempting to murder 

Zhang Yan

. The police arrested them for 

attempted

 murder. Awaiting them was the punishment by law. 

“What will you do to Feiyan?” Zhang Yan asked

 in a begging voice. A

fter the police 

took

 the other two away

, she adjusted her mood. 

She seemed to be a good woman. Although Feng Yuanzheng had betrayed her, she still cried when the police took him away. 

E

ven though Zhao Feiyan was just a 

spirit

 and she wouldn’t be useful anymore 

now that

 Zhang Yan had 

dealt with 

her husband, she was still worried about 

her

. 

“

If she 

doesn

’t bother

 me

,

 I won’t do anything to her! Everything has a cause 

and an effect

. Your 

karmic

 relationship with Zhao Feiyan 

is

no more

.

You have nothing to do with her now.” 

Zhang Yan nodded. Then, she told me the story between her and Zhao Feiyan. 

Zhang Yan was a smart girl with good senses since she was 

small

.

After graduating, she married Feng Yuanzheng and cooperated with Li Qiushu to build their career. She had a happy life. Afterward, she inadvertently figured out that her husband 

was having

 an affair with her bestie. Zhang Yan was 

heart-broken

, but she didn’t want to 

destroy

 her home. She had to swallow her sorrow. There was a time she 

went

 to her hometown 

and visited

 Zhao Feiyan’s tomb

. She 

shared her sorrow with Zhao Feiyan. 

Zhao Feiyan’s tomb was outside Zhang Yan’s home village. No one would go and talk to Zhao Feiyan at her tomb. However, Zhang Yan had just experienced the same horrible situation 

as

 Zhao Feiyan

. S

he often visited her tomb and talked to her. After a while, Zhao Feiyan’s 

spirit

showed

 herself to her and they 

became 

friends! Zhang Yan begged Zhao Feiyan to help her. 

S

till, Zhao Feiyan was a 

spirit. I

n the end, she had gotten rid of Zhang Yan’s control, which led to the consequences we 

saw. 

“What will you do 

in

the

 future?” I sighed with emotion

. I pitied 

this woman. 

Zhang Yan fiddled with a lock of her hair

 and sighed

. “What should I do now? I will divorce him and start 

a

 new life.” 

“

That’s

 good then!” 

“Haha.” She smiled

. She 

waved at u

s, then left

. 

On the way to the hospital, Li Mazi and I didn’t talk. I was thinking about how and what had caused Li Qiushu to be in this situation. 

With her financial condition and beauty, she shouldn’t have been worried about finding a good husband. Why 

did

 she want

to steal her best 

friend

’s husband? 

Li Mazi seemed to read my mind. “

It’s

 not strange these days. 

G

irls alwa

ys 

appear to 

have the best

 friendship, but they 

are always competing against one another.

 You 

bought a new

 shirt today

; 

tomorrow I 

will

 buy a better pair of shoes. You got a nice bag today

; 

tomorrow I’ll get an expensive cosmetic kit… And, if they keep 

acting like that,

 it’s not strange that they would steal each other’s husband one day.” 

Li Mazi sighed. I also sighed. Sometimes, Li Mazi understood the situation better than me.

Anyway, after understanding the situation, he was done with it. 

As for 

me, the story lingered in my mind.

I wondered, what made the 

two friends act like this

? If 

this

 wasn’t solved, Zhang Yan’s tragedy would 

repeat

 over and over again. 

I 

went

 to the hospital and told 

Senior Shu

 everything. The old man also sighed emotionally. But when I asked him how or when we could solve this phenomenon, 

Senior Shu

 puffed his cigarette deeply. “Kid, don’t burden your mind with it. It’s human nature!”

My heart 

was

in pain

, but I 

had nothing to say

. 

At night, 

Senior Shu

 was discharged from the hospital. 

“Should we go home?” I asked. 

Senior Shu

 thought, then advised, “I don

’t 

think Zhao Feiyan 

will

 stay idle. We should 

deal with

 her before 

we leave

.” 

I agreed with 

Senior Shu

’s point of view. 

We stayed

 for several days. Since we had nothing to do, the three of us 

traveled

 around Suzhou. It was a good trip. 

Zhang Yan 

didn’t

contact

 us after that day. It seemed Zhao Feiyan didn’t 

go

 to her. One week later, I discussed the situation with 

Senior Shu

. We decided to leave Suzhou tomorrow morning.

But u

nexpectedly, something happened to Li Mazi that night! 

As we had been cautious against Zhao Feiyan, 

Senior Shu

 and I had arranged things to protect Li Mazi. Except for the talismans on the windows and the door, 

Senior Shu

 had deliberately let his 

life-bound rat

 stay in Li Mazi’s room. 

We went to bed early that night. I even dreamed about Yin Xinyue. While I was 

having a good

 time with my wife in my dream, I heard 

Senior Shu

 scream. Instinctively, I got up. After 

p

utting on more clothes, I dashed to his room. 

I 

saw that he was

 alright. He squinted his drowsy eyes

 and asked

, “What happened?” 

I was bewildered

 and ran 

to Li Mazi’s room. Li Mazi was naked on his bed

, but he

 looked so bony! 

Next to him, the 

life-bound rat

 was convulsing. The rat’s head and body had been separated. Blood was sprayed on the ground

. A 

thick scent permeat

ed

 the room. 

Senior Shu

 paled instantly

 and spat 

blood. I hurried to support him. 

Senior Shu

 pushed me aside

 and screamed 

crazily, “Jiulin! Take revenge for my 

life-bound rat

!” 

He pointed at the window. I noticed that the window was open and the talismans there weren’t glowing anymore. 

It seemed Zhao Feiyan 

had

 help. Otherwise, she 

wouldn’t have been able to

 kill the 

life-bound rat

! I gritted my teeth and jumped through the window.

In midair, I 

smelled something sour. 

“Damn it!” I carefully analyzed it, only to realize that it was the sour smell

 of

 cats. I 

never expected that

 Zhao Feiyan 

w

ould invite a cat spirit. I couldn’t help but curse under my breath. I read the spell to beckon a local spirit to chase after that cat.
