Chapter 732: The Cat Toys With the Mouse Three Times
Mo Ying understood what Chen Xuan meant and immediately agreed, following his orders.
When Chen Xuan returned to New Moon Company, Yang Leshan eagerly asked, "How did it go last night? Did the Guo father and son get scared half to death?"
Chen Xuan nodded with a smile, "Definitely scared them quite a bit. Today they're thinking about inviting a Mage to perform a ritual to exorcise spirits tonight, hahaha."
Hahaha...
Yang Leshan laughed out loud, "It's just too funny. They actually believe in ghosts."
Lin Wanxi chuckled softly, "This is what the old saying goes, 'Having a ghost in your heart makes you fear ghosts.'
"The father and son committed a guilty deed by secretly killing Liu An to silence him. Mo Ying disguising as Liu An to frighten them must have terrified them. Under such extreme fear, they've completely lost their rational thinking."
"Inviting a Mage for exorcism is just their way of doing something for peace of mind, preferring to believe it's true rather than not."
Chen Xuan nodded, "Exactly, Wanxi's analysis is very accurate. That's exactly what the father and son are thinking."
"So what's your plan next? Keep toying with them?" Lin Wanxi looked at him, "And how do you plan to wrap it up and end this thing?"
Chen Xuan chuckled, "Ever heard the saying, 'A cat plays with a mouse three times'?"
"I'll mess with them once more tonight, and tomorrow I'll step in personally to expose their crimes."
"The Guo family will effectively be done for."
Lin Wanxi smiled slightly, "Good, end this farce quickly so we can get on with our own development."
"But be careful not to mess it up and make it hard to finish."
"Don't worry, that's not going to happen," Chen Xuan said confidently.
That afternoon, a Mage was invited to the Guo family, meeting Guo Wei and Guo Yang, the father and son.
The father and son were very polite, bowing respectfully to the Mage.
"Mage, please perform a ritual to expel the spirit and secure peace for my Guo family," Guo Wei pleaded earnestly.
"Rest assured, Patriarch Guo, leave it to me. We will set the altar and begin the ritual tonight."
The Mage appeared calm, not taking this matter to heart at all.
In his view, there were no spirits, just fear from their guilty conscience.
The so-called exorcism ritual was just for show.
He'd take the money and leave afterward; this kind of side job was too easy.
The Guo family treated the Mage well with good food and drink, waiting for nightfall.
Finally, it got dark.
The Mage brought eight disciples, positioning them according to the eight trigrams formation, letting them sit cross-legged in sequence.
In front, there was a square table covered with a yellow cloth.
Candles were lit on both ends, with an incense burner placed in the center.
After burning incense, the Mage wore a Taoist robe, held a Peach Wood Sword, and carried a copper bell in his left hand.
Chanting incantations, he shook the copper bell.
The Guo father and son watched devoutly but couldn't understand what the Mage was chanting.
Then, the Mage affixed a talisman to the Peach Wood Sword and approached the candles to ignite it.
Waving it while continuing to chant.
Mo Ying had arrived earlier, hiding in the shadows to observe, "What a fraud! Let me add some spice!"
He shot two black pins, extinguishing the candles instantly.
Everyone was startled, not knowing why the candles went out suddenly.
The Mage was also taken aback; it shouldn't have happened, there was no wind.
How did the candles go out?
A sudden ominous feeling came over him.
Taking advantage, Mo Ying shot another black pin, hitting the Mage.
Coated with hallucinogenic substances.
"Ah, a ghost! An avenging spirit is here!"
The Mage instantly went berserk, knocking over the table and running out wildly.
The sitting disciples also got up and fled in a hurry.
"Ah, this..."
The Guo father and son were left dumbfounded and even more terrified.
This must be Liu An, returning as a vengeful spirit seeking retribution!
Without a word, the father and son hurriedly hid inside the room, sticking talismans prepared in advance on the door and windows.
Regardless of their effectiveness, it was all they could do now.
Mo Ying only appeared briefly to intimidate them but didn't take any extreme actions.
Further deepening the father and son's fear.
He reported the situation to Chen Xuan over the phone.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, understanding the situation.
Tomorrow was his time to take action.
Early the next morning, Chen Xuan first found Zheng Bin and briefed him.
Zheng Bin didn't dare delay, "Alright, Mr. Chen, I'll head to the Guo family right away."
With that, Zheng Bin went to the Guo family.
After two consecutive nights of 'hauntings,' the Guo father and son were exhausted, not having slept well, with their spirits severely lacking.
"Patriarch Zheng, what brings you here today?" Guo Wei asked, forcing himself to appear energetic as he received Zheng Bin.
