Caught the troublemaking thing! The entire Gu family was startled by this news, with lights turning on in various rooms. Half an hour later, everyone gathered in the room. "Is this the thing that wanted to harm my mom?" Gu Yu looked at the creature trapped in the formation. The entity was suspended with its limbs spread out, body forming a large X shape, with a symbol nail pierced directly into its chest, scattering its ghostly energy. It couldn't even muster the usual fierce ghost aura. "Mm, it tried to harm mom before. Didn't expect it to be so bold as to come again, so I caught it," YaoYao nodded. She had originally planned to eat the ghost, but after taking a bite, she noticed something was off. The ghost bore marks left by Taoist practitioners and was a ghost slave. This immediately piqued her interest. "If you're willing to tell me who sent you, I can keep you from being dispersed," YaoYao said seriously, propping her little head. In the Taoist world, privately capturing ghosts was forbidden, especially vengeful ghosts with blood debts. If discovered, such practitioners would be punished. YaoYao had initially thought it was a simple ghostly revenge, but now it involved the Taoist practitioners. If she didn't investigate thoroughly, Chen Hui's danger couldn't be resolved. Taoist practitioners' methods could be unpredictable. She liked her new mother Chen Hui and didn't want anything to happen to her! YaoYao's words were like a bomb, leaving everyone's minds buzzing. "Little darling, could you be mistaken? Who would go to such lengths just to deal with me, a housewife who rarely leaves home?" Chen Hui's face was still pale. However, compared to earlier, her emotions were much more stable. Hearing her daughter say the ghost was controlled to target her, her eyes showed disbelief. "Mom, I'm not mistaken," YaoYao pointed to the soul-locking mark on the ghost's forehead. "This kind of soul-binding mark is written about in books." Seeing her conviction, the Gu family fell silent. Even the usually boisterous Gu Yu realized the seriousness and shut his mouth. Knowing someone who could control a vengeful ghost was targeting them was far more dangerous than the ghost itself. "YaoYao, can you help find out who did this?" Gu Xuesong asked, still somewhat awkward about calling himself her father. Since his wife liked her, and YaoYao had done great favors for the Gu family, adopting her was completely fine. Moreover, getting such a talented daughter for free was like their ancestors blessing them. At this moment, despite being only three and a half, YaoYao was the pillar of strength in the room. "Normal methods won't work," YaoYao slowly shook her head. She had driven a heart-piercing nail into the ghost's chest, with symbols constantly burning its soul, and the soul-breaking formation consuming it. Vaguely, YaoYao saw two figures conversing in a luxurious room. Just as she was about to see their faces clearly, the people seemed to sense something, and one sharply shouted, "Who's spying!" Immediately, the scene in her eyes began to crack like an earthquake. YaoYao instantly withdrew from the soul-searching state. Opening her eyes, she saw the ghost suddenly erupting with golden light. The next moment, right before everyone's eyes, it explosively shattered into countless fragments. YaoYao was quick, grabbing some fragmented soul pieces and sealing them in a small gourd. Shaking it, it barely filled half the gourd. "What a loss," she pouted, her little face full of regret. Originally, she could have eaten it whole, but the Taoist practitioner controlling the ghost had detected her soul-searching and directly triggered the slave mark. Once such a mark was implanted, life and death were no longer controllable. Many ghosts would rather be completely obliterated than be enslaved. "Did you find anything?" Gu Xuesong looked over. Because of the binding formation, the ghost's self-destruction didn't cause much disturbance. Everyone present remained relatively calm. "A little bit," YaoYao thought about how to explain to her father. "Um... he lives in a big villa too, a tall, thin man. He seems to know dad cares a lot about mom, so he targeted her." "And he stole mom's hair and birth eight characters. I don't know anything else." Though she didn't see a face, she described the body, conversation, and other details precisely. Hair? Gu Xuesong's face darkened. This was an intimate personal item. Only someone with close access or who could enter their room could obtain it. They hadn't caught the culprit, but there was already an insider in their home! "Li Manager, investigate. Find out who has entered the mistress's room recently. Interrogate everyone thoroughly," Gu Xuesong coldly instructed the elderly manager. He roughly guessed the opponent was likely a business rival. Unable to compete with him in the business world, they resorted to such despicable methods. Don't let him find out, or he wouldn't let them die easily. Clearly, reaching into his home had crossed his bottom line. [--------------------------------------------] Enjoyed the chapter?
