The gleaming golden gates opened wide, and a steady stream of high-society figures carrying valuable gifts entered the Xu residence.

Several extended Bentleys took turns picking up and dropping off the guests, heading to the back garden where the family reunion banquet was being held.

Such a grand display was truly unexpected by the guests who came to participate.

"Do you think the heir will be changed?"

"That can't be right. Xu Chuanli is the son of the first wife, how can they promote an illegitimate child?"

"And have you heard? The mother of this illegitimate child is President Tang's ex-wife."

"Which Mr. Tang? It can't be Mr. Tang from Tang Family Wine, can it? Wouldn't it be awkward for Mr. Xu to do business with him?"

"What's so embarrassing? Mr. Tang and his ex-wife's marriage was just a business arrangement; they divorced eight hundred years ago."

Passing guests gossiped and discussed, completely unaware that the person they were talking about was right next to them.

Song Qingge and Jiang Zhou looked over in unison to confirm Tang Shu's mood.

"I'm fine. Let them talk about it if they want."

In their words, they divorced eight hundred years ago, and if Xie Yun hadn't come back to him in his dreams, he would have almost forgotten those painful days.

Fortunately, everything is almost over now.

Song Qingge felt it was necessary to explain to Uncle Tang and retrieve the imprisoned vengeful spirit from the space.

"Once tonight's events are over, I'll break her up, and she'll disappear completely."

Tang Zhishan leaned closer out of curiosity.

The vengeful spirit was lifeless, and had long lost its initial intense resentment.

"This, this, this, is it her?" Tang Zhishan stammered in surprise.

"Yes." With so many people around, Song Qingge quickly put her hand away: "Don't worry, she can't get out."

The original concern was that Xie Qi would inherit the feud between the Xu and Jiang families if he returned to the Xu family.

After all, his biological father and half-brother both wanted the Jiang family dead.

As Xie Qi's biological mother, this relationship will inevitably have some influence and cannot be forcibly broken.

But after tonight, her worries completely disappeared, and everything should be understood.

The extended Bentley dropped them off at the entrance to the back garden and then went back to pick up other guests.

The moment Song Qingge stepped into the back garden, she stopped in her tracks.

His brows furrowed suddenly.

His cold gaze suddenly fixed on a corner on the right.

My gaze swept around the perimeter of the back garden, taking in every visible corner.

Finally, the image freezes directly above the misty back garden.

"What's wrong? Is there some kind of yin energy in this place?"

Jiang Zhou looked in that direction.

He couldn't see anything, but he felt the temperature drop drastically as he got out of the car.

Song Qingge squeezed out an "hmm" sound from her nose, also finding it strange.

This is not because of the "master" behind Xu Mingchang, nor because of the yin energy gathered from the resentment left by Xu Chuanrong.

Logically speaking, after she sealed off Xu Chuanrong's bedroom yesterday, she severed the influence of those lingering resentments on the rest of the Xu family.

Apart from Xu Mingchang's family.

They are the culprits behind Xu Chuanrong's inescapable resentment, and this cause and effect cannot be severed.

Because this is a human life, and a life taken by extremely cruel means.

So where does this yin energy come from?

Jiang Zhou frowned, his phone already in his hand: "Should I have someone investigate? It might be..." someone else's life?

The Xu family's business is very dirty.

Especially after Xu Mingchang and his son took over.

If they dare to harm their own family members, then it's no surprise they would do the same to strangers.

"No." Song Qingge narrowed her eyes, staring intently at the dark aura filled with resentment: "They are not human."

Tang Zhishan rubbed his arms, feeling a chill on the back of his head: "If it's not human, what is it, a ghost?"

Only the dead become ghosts.

What were they like when they were alive?

Countless terrifying thoughts flashed through his mind, but Song Qingge's words stopped him in time.

"Animals." Song Qingge's face darkened.

He clenched his fist.

Her sharp almond-shaped eyes were fixed on the glamorous Xu Mingchang and his son, who were mingling among the guests.

My arms were ice cold and I couldn't stop trembling.

Animals' resentment is usually not as deep as that of humans, nor is it as easy for it to form, because different animals have different spiritualities.

The higher one's spirituality, the closer the concentration of resentment is to that of a human; those with low spirituality have an ethereal and elusive aura that is difficult to detect.

Once the animals' resentment reaches a point where it can be easily detected, it either indicates the sorcerer's high talent, or it means the resentment of the animals gathered here...

That's enough!

She was both, but what angered her more was the latter.

Such intense resentment, along with the new resentment added today, has activated the pent-up grievances of the creatures that had been buried here in the past.

So she didn't notice it before, but it's only showing up now.

Just how many other heinous things has the Xu family done?

Suddenly, her cold fist was enveloped by a large hand, and she exhaled a sharp breath.

She looked up at the man.

The bright moonlight illuminated the shimmering light in the girl's clear eyes.

They gripped each other's hands tighter.

"I will have someone investigate this matter thoroughly, and I will give you an answer soon."

Although the Jiang family has no influence in Mu City, if the Xu family is doing some unscrupulous business, it will not be limited to Mu City; they will definitely sell to other cities.

Finding it is not difficult.

But what he was worried about was if this matter became too large.

Therefore, the Xu family was not the only one involved; there must have been many others behind it.

How shocking the truth must have been back then.

The power structure of the elite social circles is about to be reshuffled again.

Song Qingge had no doubt about Jiang Zhou's promise.

She nodded emphatically: "Okay."

Tang Zhishan couldn't stand by and watch either, and chimed in: "Don't worry, I'll call Old He tonight and ask him to investigate too!"

"No rush." ​​Jiang Zhou's hawk-like eyes narrowed. "Don't let a fourth person know about this for now."

When faced with a conflict of interest, who knows whether the other party is a good person or a bad one?

Tang Zhishan pondered for a while: "I understand, it was my oversight."

Among the younger generation, Xiao Zhou is considered to be exceptionally capable and deep-thinking.

Being thoughtful and calculating is not a bad thing for businessmen; on the contrary, it's a good thing.

For a young person in their early twenties to have such heavy thoughts, they must have experienced many hardships and betrayals that are unimaginable to ordinary people, in order to understand human nature so thoroughly.

The three composed themselves and stepped into the banquet garden.

All eyes immediately turned to them.

Before they came, they heard that Jiang Zhou was going to attend the Xu family's family reunion banquet in person, and most of them didn't quite believe it. They were still very surprised to hear that Jiang Zhou had come to Mu City.

Seeing it with my own eyes now feels like a dream.

Various unfounded speculations gradually spread:

"Do you know why Jiang Zhou came in person? It's because the Jiang family is about to be outdone by the Xu family. You know Miss Liu, right? I heard he and his wife are coming back tonight too; they're Mr. Xu's VIP guests!"

"I saw them having dinner with President Xu at Chengfangzhai that day. Jiang Zhou was there too. In the end, President Xu left first, it seems that things didn't go very well."

"How could that be? Mr. Liu is going to invest in Xu's Group. If things fall apart, wouldn't President Xu clarify things in advance? And Mr. Liu wouldn't let the rumors continue to spread."

"They're here! Mr. Liu and his wife are here!"

All eyes were drawn to the entrance of the garden as Mr. and Mrs. Mitchell stepped out of their extended Bentley.

The couple looked closely, and their eyes lit up.

Raise your hand and wave!

"What did I say? Ms. Liu is greeting General Manager Xu."
