Chapter 590: Chapter 590: Arrangements

Master Wen ignored Su Qing’s remark. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Li Fenghuo for a long moment. He was the one who had personally placed the Gu Worm in this man.

Truth be told, he wasn’t surprised that Su Qing could rouse Li Fenghuo. After all, Su Qing’s power was greater than his. But why couldn’t he sense the Child Gu’s aura on Li Fenghuo anymore?

With the Mother Gu inside him, even if he couldn’t currently use it to control the Child Gu, he should still have been able to sense the Child Gu’s aura on its host.

But now, the Child Gu’s aura was completely gone from this man!

"You! You removed the Child Gu from him?" Master Wen stared at Su Qing in disbelief. "How did you do that?"

"You don’t need to worry about that. Now, tell me, do you have any talismans that can erase memories?" Su Qing didn’t know much about talismans. She wasn’t clear on the specific functions of the ones used by Feng Shui Masters, but she just needed something to make these people forget she had a superpower. ’Otherwise, I’ll have no choice but to turn them all into idiots.’

"First, you tell me how you got rid of the Child Gu inside him," Master Wen demanded, glaring at Su Qing and grinding his teeth.

’No wonder that damn girl didn’t take my threats seriously. She had a way to deal with it all along. But if that’s the case, what leverage do I have left against her?’

Master Wen was so full of hate he could grind his teeth to dust, but there was nothing he could do. He never could have imagined that his trip to Beijing would end with his demise.

Not only had he failed to get his revenge, but now he was about to lose his life.

"You’re not going to talk?" Su Qing asked coolly.

"You tell me how you did it first. Once you’ve told me, I’ll answer your question," Master Wen said stubbornly.

Su Qing gave a faint smile. "Since you won’t tell me willingly, don’t blame me for what comes next."

"Wh-what are you going to do?"

Su Qing said nothing more. She simply pried open Master Wen’s mouth and poured some gray liquid down his throat. This was a Feng Shui Master, after all, much stronger than an ordinary person. Su Qing wasn’t taking any chances, so she used a large dose. ’I refuse to believe even this much gray liquid won’t have an effect on him.’

"You—what did you give me?" Master Wen struggled in vain. He felt the liquid slide down into his stomach and began to cough violently, trying to spit it out, but with little success. He practically gnashed his teeth, his eyes blazing with fire as he glared at Su Qing.

But gradually, he felt his consciousness begin to fade.

"You... what did you..." Master Wen trailed off as his eyes began to glaze over.

Li Fenghuo watched from the sidelines, fascinated. He didn’t say a word, just observed quietly, growing even more impressed with his niece’s abilities. A wave of immense pride washed over him. ’Aiyo, this is my very own niece!’

The gray liquid’s effect was absurdly potent. Even a powerful Feng Shui Master like Master Wen couldn’t resist its overwhelming power. Soon enough, Su Qing had the answers she wanted.

As it turned out, Master Wen did have talismans for erasing memories. However, their effect wasn’t very long-lasting. They could only erase the memories of the current day and were only effective for three months at most. After three months, the person who had been placed under the talisman’s spell would gradually recover their memories.

Still, that was more than enough for Su Qing. Three months was plenty of time for her to shut these people up for good. ’These scumbags have harmed countless people; their deaths would be no great loss.’

Of course, aside from the memory-erasing talismans, Master Wen was carrying quite a few others. There were protective ones like peace charms and health talismans, as well as harmful ones like Misfortune Talismans.

Su Qing immediately destroyed the talismans that gave off a bad aura. She kept the peace charms and other similar ones, casually stuffing two into Li Fenghuo’s pockets. She planned to give one of the others to each of her relatives.

To be fair, while Master Wen was no good man, his skill at creating talismans was formidable—far superior to that of his disciples. Their effects would obviously be much better as well.

Soon, Su Qing had knocked out Brother Liu and his men one by one and used the talismans to erase their memories. For good measure, she also fed each of them a pill. These pills would ensure they would gradually weaken and die within a month or two. Su Qing didn’t spare the men in the other courtyard with Li Wan, either.

"Uncle, I’m taking Master Wen with me. His abilities are too unusual; ordinary people can’t handle him," Su Qing said to Li Fenghuo.

"I understand." Li Fenghuo nodded. ’If a person like Master Wen were actually arrested by the Public Security Bureau, it would just give him an opportunity to escape. Ordinary people couldn’t possibly stop him.’ So, Li Fenghuo knew that leaving him to Su Qing was the best choice. He said to her, "You take Master Wen and go. Leave this scene to me. And don’t get rid of these vines. I have a use for them."

When Su Qing had dropped Jin Zhicheng at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau in the middle of the night, the officer on duty had seen the vines she hadn’t had time to fully retract. Ever since then, the Beijing Public Security Bureau knew a person who could control vines was secretly helping them. They just didn’t know who it was. So, Li Fenghuo’s plan this time was to pin the whole incident on that mysterious individual.

It wasn’t like the Public Security Bureau could find out who the mysterious person was anyway.

"Alright. You can arrange the details, Uncle," Su Qing agreed with a nod.

"Oh, right," Li Fenghuo added. "After you’ve dealt with this man, go find your mother right away. And remember, your story is that you also fainted inexplicably in that courtyard."

Su Qing couldn’t avoid being questioned about this. For one thing, she had skipped her afternoon classes, so she needed an explanation for her whereabouts.

Su Qing nodded. "Understood."

Li Fenghuo’s sudden disappearance during work hours quickly drew attention. His position was important, making his safety a top priority. No trace of him could be found at any of his usual haunts. Someone reported seeing him leave with his subordinate, Xiao Liu, but when questioned, Xiao Liu denied it and claimed to have no idea where Li Fenghuo had gone.

As a result, Xiao Liu was quickly detained, and the matter was reported to the municipal Public Security Bureau, who were asked to assist in the search for Li Fenghuo.

Zou Ming was naturally put in charge of the case. But before he could even dispatch his team, he received a call from Li Fenghuo. By the time Zou Ming and his men rushed to the two-courtyard compound, they found the ground littered with unconscious people and the body of Su Mei. In another courtyard, they found an unconscious Li Wan and Su Qing, along with several other people passed out in the yard.

What surprised Zou Ming was that these people were bound with... vines?
