Watching their departing figures, Li Jingze felt a sense of unease, but even more so, a firm conviction. He knew he bore a heavy responsibility and had to act as soon as possible.

Li Jingze was very grateful to the person who sent him the message, and whoever it was, he would definitely repay him in the future.

When Wu Leiming's men arrived at the Li family's house, they found it deserted. They searched the house thoroughly but found only some scattered items and unpacked luggage, which infuriated them.

"Damn it! They actually got away!" Wu Leiming slammed his fist on the table.

Enraged, Huo Fei kicked Wu Leiming hard, pointing his finger at his nose and cursing, "Useless! You're a complete waste! You can't even keep such an important thing safe. Do you want everyone to die with you?"

Wu Leiming was indignant, but faced with the furious Huo Fei, he could only lower his head and obediently say, "I don't know why he suddenly became suspicious of me. Could it be that someone... tipped me off?"

Wu Leiming scanned the crowd with a suspicious look; there must be a spy among them.

The other partner, Liu Tongtian, the head of the Liu family, said sternly, "Enough! Isn't this chaotic enough? Don't forget, we did this together. If this gets out, no one can escape. At this point, catching that kid from the Li family and uncovering the evidence is the most important thing."

Zhou Bochao, the head of the Zhou family, kept turning the ring on his thumb and said in a deep voice, "Brother Liu is right. The most urgent task is to capture Li Jingze. We must send more people and expand the search area, but we must not make a fuss about this, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Also, we need to keep watch over the areas around those old guys that Li Jingze is most likely to visit after obtaining the evidence, so he won't have a chance to see them.

Huo Fei's face was ashen, his eyes filled with ruthlessness: "I don't believe he can hide anywhere in the world,"

Zhou Bochao said confidently, "No, don't forget, Li Jinpeng is still in jail. He might be sentenced any day. Li Jingze can't keep hiding if he wants to save him."

Huo Fei nodded slightly, his expression softening: "That's right, he'll show up sooner or later. We'll just wait for him to walk into our trap."

Liu Tongtian frowned: "But we can't just wait passively; we have to find a way to lure him out."

Wu Leiming's eyes lit up: "Perhaps we can spread some false information, such as Li Jinpeng being seriously ill in prison, or that there is an opportunity to reduce his sentence. As long as Li Jingze hears this news, he will definitely take action."

Zhou Bochao pondered for a moment: "This idea is feasible, but it must be made to look convincing so that he can't spot any flaws. At the same time, we must strengthen surveillance of all possible locations, and take action immediately once we discover his whereabouts."

Therefore, Huo Fei and others began to carefully set up a trap, waiting for Li Jingze to take the bait.

Li Jingze was unaware of their plan. He was carefully hiding himself while thinking about how to safely pass on the evidence and rescue his father.

At the Huo family home, Huo Yunhan noticed an unusually tense atmosphere, and his suspicions began to grow. He started to secretly observe the situation at home.

Old Master Huo also sensed something unusual. He connected this to Li Jinpeng's recent treasonous actions, wondering if...

Old Master Huo took a sip of tea and sighed, "The current situation is unsettling."

He looked up at the sky outside the window. A lark flew across the sky. Huo Fei, Huo Fei, you must not disappoint me. We cannot let the Huo family's legacy be ruined in your hands.

Meanwhile, Tuanzi relayed the truth about Li Jingze to Shen Chumo, "Chumo, Li Jingze is currently hiding in that farmhouse."

He had already heard about his father's illness in prison and was preparing to risk his life to get out, but he didn't know that Huo Fei had already set a trap. He was sure to fall into it if he went out. What should he do?

Shen Chumo shrugged, looking indifferent, and said, "That's up to his fate. Anyway, I've already helped him once, so I've done my best."

After hearing this, Tuanzi said anxiously, "Actually, Momo, you can help him one more time."

Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Tuanzi quickly explained, "Li Jingze is a man of great fortune. He has never done anything bad in his life, and as a soldier, he charged to the front lines to defend the country and save thousands of lives."

"If you, Momo, can save his life, then a portion of the merit from every good deed he does in the future will be transferred to you."

Merit! Shen Chumo's eyes lit up. Although she didn't know what it was for, it sounded like a good thing.

Tuanzi continued to explain, "I've heard from other systems that merit can be exchanged for points, and it's especially effective in suppressing ghosts and evil spirits. If you accumulate a certain amount of merit, it can even change your luck, making you more fortunate and turning you into a lucky charm."

Shen Chumo instantly perked up, "Tuanzi, promise me, you'll tell me about such important things earlier in the future, okay?!" Shen Chumo even gritted her teeth a little.

How much merit did she miss out on in her previous lives!

Tuanzi looked completely bewildered: "Mo Mo, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but in the world before, I never met anyone as lucky as Li Jingze who was so unlucky."

Li Jingze: "...&34;

Shen Chumo asked, "Is it only by saving people with such great fortune that one can accumulate merit?"

"No, saving some ordinary people will also bring merit, but it is very rare and negligible. Unless you save hundreds or thousands of people, the merit will be greater."

Shen Chumo sighed, "Tuanzi, you really don't know how to manage money. Haven't you heard that even a mosquito, no matter how small, is still meat?"

Tuanzi realized she might have done something wrong and said dejectedly, "Mo Mo, am I really useless? No wonder my performance is always the worst. Waaah, it's all my fault."

Shen Chumo gently comforted her, "Tuanzi, you are very good, really. I think you are the best system. I am always glad that the system I signed with is you."

"Really?" Tuanzi asked, her voice choked with emotion.

"More real than pearls."

Hearing Shen Chumo say that, Tuanzi wiped away non-existent tears and said, "Thank you, Momo."

Shen Chumo knew that if a cold-hearted person like her encountered a system that was too shrewd, no one could say for sure what would happen.

"Mo Mo, should we go save Li Jingze?"

Shen Chumo maintained her smile, "Of course."

Shen Chumo clasped her hands together, bowed her head and said, "From today onwards, I will be a good person and wholeheartedly do good."
