I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Li Yuan returned to the office and greeted Jamie, who was tidying up the room:

"Hey Jamie, you stay here and pack up. I'm taking Grace on a business trip."

"No problem, you guys go ahead. Remember to call me if you need anything."

Jamie casually arranged the chairs and mentioned it to Li Yuan with a smile:

"I wonder where Edward went having fun. I've been calling him but he hasn't answered."

Li Yuan smiled and didn't care too much, because Edward had been yelling about turning off the phone yesterday.

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow at Jamie and said:

"He probably silenced his phone and went to spend some time alone with Lina."

With that, Li Yuan waved goodbye to Jamie.

He got into his car with Grace in tow.

Eric Bowen drove himself there and started his car to lead the way.

Li Yuan followed behind.

They traveled together to Questaved, a suburb northwest of Los Angeles.

It was a newly developed neighborhood.

Inside is a beautiful detached villa complex, which is very attractive.

However, the house price was surprisingly cheap.

Even a fool would know there's something fishy going on there.

However, some people who are greedy for cheap deals don't understand the reasoning behind it.

Or perhaps they understand, but choose not to care.

Knowing the plot, Li Yuan was very clear about what was going on there.

The area around Questavid was once a large cemetery.

However, its prime location near Los Angeles attracted the attention of profit-driven developers.

After buying the place, the developers simply moved the tombstones.

Instead of moving the remains buried in the ground, they directly rebuilt the community on top of them.

This caused the dead buried below to gradually develop resentment, forming a special spirit world.

Gradually, the pent-up resentment that had gathered here began to erupt, frequently disturbing the residents of the community.

And the location of Bowen's house happened to be the epicenter of the resentment.

Before moving in, the Bowen family had just experienced some bad luck.

It was when his aura was at its weakest that he was targeted by those evil spirits.

Therefore, when you're down on your luck, try to avoid going to unclean places, as you're more likely to get dirty.

The evil spirits trapped here hope to find a person with a pure heart.

Using the other's life force, they escaped from this spirit world and went to heaven.

Maddie, the youngest daughter and the one with the purest and most innocent heart.

This became the primary target of these evil spirits.

So when the Bowens weren't home yesterday, the demons took the opportunity to drag Maddie into the spirit world.

Thinking about the Bowen family's dire financial situation, Li Yuan, who was driving, sighed softly.

He muttered to himself:

"This commission itself isn't difficult, it's just that getting the commission fee is a bit troublesome."

As he spoke, Li Yuan glanced at Grace beside him.

He joked with a smile:

"Grace, if I go to the developers and ask for the money, do you think they'll pay me?"

Seeing Grace's blank expression, Li Yuan smiled and nodded:

"Yes, he will definitely give it to me."

As they spoke, Bowen gradually slowed down the car.

The car led Li Yuan to a detached villa.

After getting out of the car, Bo Wen hurried to Li Yuan's car and said anxiously:

"Mr. Li Yuan, this is my home."

Li Yuan pushed open the car door and got out, glancing at the large willow tree swaying in front of the door even without wind.

He sighed inwardly, thinking, "How many vengeful spirits and evil spirits gather here?"

Li Yuan nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Mr. Bowen, let's go inside and take a look."

As Li Yuan stepped into Bowen's house...

Meanwhile, far away in the San Bernardino Mountains, Edward, accompanied by his maid Lena, was searching for his car.

Initially, it was possible to track vehicles based on tire tracks.

But gradually, the tire tracks became more and more messy.

Edward was ultimately unable to determine which track was left by his own car.

Edward and Lena were only wearing their swimsuits.

Barefoot, they carefully made their way through the dark woods.

Edward's destination at this time was a nearby town.

He planned to go over and ask around to see if he could find any clues about those bastards.

Feeling the cold in my body and the stinging sensation in my feet,

Lina subconsciously rubbed her arm with her hand:

"Edward, how much longer until we reach town?"

She muttered to herself, somewhat annoyed:

"I think I cut my foot."

"I just saw a light in the tree ahead; we should be there soon."

Edward paused, then stopped in front of Lina.

He squatted down and said:

"Lina, come on up, I'll carry you for a little while longer."

Edward had already been carrying Lina for quite a while.

Lina, worried that Edward would get tired, insisted on walking for a while longer.

But the stinging pain under her feet forced her to stop and wearily climbed onto Edward's back.

Lena rested her head on Edward's shoulder and whispered:

"I'm sorry, Edward, it's all my fault."

"If I hadn't brought you here, none of this would have happened."

Edward smiled and shook his head, gently comforting him:

"How can you blame yourself? Who could have predicted that we would run into those bastards here?"

Lena held Edward's neck in silence for a long time.

His face was full of struggle, and he looked like he wanted to say something but couldn't.

"I originally..."

Just as Lina began to speak, Edward suddenly pointed ahead.

He exclaimed in delight:

"Look, Lina! The town is just ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Lina quickly swallowed her words and looked in the direction Edward was pointing.

Sure enough, there were some lights there, and it turned out to be a small town.

Lina breathed a sigh of relief and patted Edward on the shoulder, saying:

"Great, Edward, shall we go to the police station to report this?"

Edward, who was instinctively somewhat resistant, eventually nodded.

He said somewhat dejectedly:

"That works too. I can call Li Yuan at the same time."

If you can't find your lost car, you'll have to ask him for help.

As they spoke, Edward carried Lina out of the woods.

And directly opposite the woods was a tavern that was open for business.

There were several pickup trucks parked outside, so business seemed pretty good.

When Lina saw people looking over at the tavern entrance, she quickly patted Edward on the shoulder.

He said somewhat shyly:

"Edward, put me down."

Edward was about to refuse, but then he noticed the gazes of the three men at the tavern entrance looking over.

He immediately remembered Lina's clothes and quickly put his girlfriend down.

He reached out and hid Lina behind his back, facing the three men holding bottles of liquor at the door.

He asked with a kind expression:

"Excuse me, where is the police station in this town?"

When the three saw that Lena was hidden behind Edward, they immediately showed expressions of regret.

"Oh, you want to go to the police station?"

One of the men took a sip of beer and paused thoughtfully.

Then, smiling, he pointed to the right and said:

"Over there, you'll see it after walking a little further."

Another man asked curiously:

"Hey buddy, what are you guys doing dressed like that, and why are you calling the police station?"

Recalling the way the three of them had looked at Lina just now,

Edward instinctively felt a sense of unease, and chuckled as he casually told a lie:

"I brought my girlfriend to my aunt's house, but it was dark and I couldn't find the exact location. I only remember it being near the police station."

Before the other person could speak, Edward quickly waved goodbye.

"Thank you so much for your help. We'll head back now."

He then put his arm around Lina and quickly walked in the direction the man pointed.

The man opened his mouth, watched the two leave, and muttered to himself:

"That kid is lying."
