Chapter 375 Stirring Up Trouble Again
Chapter 375 Stirring Up Trouble Again
Lou Yue stayed in this wetland park for a very, very long time.
She didn't head back to the hotel until nearly midnight.
However, she left the hotel after less than half an hour.
This time, he was almost completely covered up, leaving only his eyes visible.
He was also pulling a small suitcase and hacked into the hotel's security cameras before leaving.
Then, perhaps feeling that wasn't enough, they deliberately chose blind spots in the surveillance footage after hacking into the monitoring system.
Without driving or taking a taxi, I walked alone along the most inconspicuous side streets of Beijing, walking and walking without stopping.
After walking for two whole hours, we finally arrived at our destination.
These two hours were not just about walking; I was also chanting incantations as I walked.
This spell was taught to her by Mo Yundu, who said it was the highest level of taboo in the Mo family, and could prevent people from discovering her whereabouts by those who knew witchcraft.
Lou Yue recited it carefully the whole way, without the slightest deviation.
The place we arrived at looked very secluded, but it was actually very, very close to the Duan family's old residence.
Upon arrival, Lou Yue rested for a short half hour before opening the suitcase she had brought.
Then he took out a piece of clothing that looked somewhat old.
Ever since Duan Yao's clothes were taken and mistaken for Duan Yu's, the resentment in her heart has never dissipated.
She dared not go to the Duan family's old house a second time; she was certain that the Duan family's old house was under martial law after that incident.
If she goes there now, she will definitely be captured without resistance.
That will only make Duan Yao hate her even more.
Rather than that, it would be better to take another path, assuming that Duan Yao is currently unaware that she is Lou Yue.
Thinking of this, she took the very old-fashioned garment in front of her and dripped ten drops of blood onto it, using the same method she had used to cut her finger last time.
This time, after dripping the blood, she didn't wait for the blood to seep into the clothes. Instead, she took out a lighter and burned the very old-looking garment.
Then it uttered a series of incomprehensible incantations, "Popo meme meme hoo..."
From the moment the fire was at its brightest until it went out.
This time is different from the last time.
Last time I was incredibly nervous the whole time, but this time I didn't feel anything at all; I was calm and at ease.
There's a sense of calm that comes from enduring the trials of time.
I just leaned back on the sofa and closed my eyes to rest.
In Haicheng, Mo Yundu, like Lou Yue, also stayed up all night.
A candle, half-burnt, sat in front of him.
The wind at the Mo family's residence in Haicheng is very strong, especially now that night has fallen, the feeling is even more pronounced.
The wind blows, and it gives you goosebumps.
But the candle, still burning, was not extinguished by the strong wind; instead, it shone even brighter.
He Fang stood to the side, looking down at his phone.
Upon receiving the message, he leaned down beside Mo Yundu, whose arm had been severed, and said, "Master, Lou Yue, that is, Han Xinyue, has made her move."
Mo Yundu grunted in response, but did not react further.
He already knew, otherwise he wouldn't have helped Lou Yue.
The reason this candle is lit is to help her successfully complete tonight's task.
Lou Yue cannot afford to lose again, and neither can Mo Yundu.
Their goals are essentially the same: if they can't have it, they'll destroy it permanently.
We're allies, why can't we lend a hand?
Helping her is also helping yourself.
Lou Yue had been resting with her eyes closed for a full half hour, and she didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, showing no signs of waking up.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but just before the sky turned white and the rooster was about to crow, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Just then, the door to the room she was in was suddenly knocked on, and then pushed open with a "bang".
The figure she longed to see finally appeared before her.
It's not Duan Yao, not Duan Yu from last time, and certainly not Song Beiyou.
Instead, it was her adoptive mother, Old Madam Duan, who raised her and ensured she lived a dignified life.
At this moment, Madam Duan stared blankly, looking lifeless and like a wooden statue.
It was as if he had possessed her body and bewitched her soul; he walked straight toward Lou Yue.
After all, she was her former adoptive mother, so there was still some pressure from her status. Upon seeing this, Lou Yue suddenly stood up.
The word "godmother" that was about to come out of his mouth suddenly stopped, and he changed it to "old lady".
Madam Duan naturally did not respond, remaining dazed as if her soul had been sealed by witchcraft.
Lou Yue clearly ignored Old Madam Duan's current appearance and opened her lips to ask, "Old Madam, do you know who I am?"
Actually, there's no need to ask; Lou Yue knows perfectly well what's going on in her heart.
Madam Duan had long suspected it, and not only her, but also Song Beiyou's side.
"Madam, if you hadn't kicked me out of the Duan family, I would have called you godmother."
If things go well in the future, I can even teach you to call me "Mom"!
It's a pity that all the good things and plans were disrupted, and we were unable to become a family.
"Don't you think it's such a waste?"
As she said this, she reached out and pulled the puppet-like Old Madam Duan aside, making her sit down.
Then, she took out the prepared rope, and, choking back tears, tied it around Old Madam Duan's neck and tied it to a pillar by the wall.
The moment the binding was finished, the sky outside was completely bright, and several rays of light shone through the window, illuminating the entire room clearly.
Actually, the sunlight doesn't come through the open window, but through the glass.
All the windows in this room are sealed shut with transparent, bulletproof glass, and the fresh air is maintained entirely by internal air circulation.
The glass is extremely soundproof, meaning that once the door is closed, no sound can be heard from inside the room.
Apart from that, the room was simply decorated, with only a sofa, a coffee table, and a pillar that looked like it was installed later.
There weren't any big lights, just a small gas lamp, so it was probably pitch black at night.
Now that sunlight is shining in, we can see a little more clearly inside.
The old lady Duan was pale and expressionless, while Lou Yue looked ferocious, her eyes filled with hatred.
Lou Yue tied the rope slowly and leisurely, without any rush or impatience.
She wasn't worried about missing anything because she wasn't going to work at the Han Group, so she continued tying him up until she was satisfied.
Before we knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the morning.
Seven o'clock is the time for Madam Duan to have breakfast at the Duan family's old residence.
Occasionally, when I run into Duan Yu taking his 8 a.m. class, I'll eat with him.
Duan Yudi is on summer vacation. Today, he is going to the gym, so he is already sitting at the dining table waiting for his grandmother to come down for breakfast.
Ten minutes had passed, but his grandmother still hadn't come down.
