Ancestors, I told you to seduce the villains, not to turn evil.

"Meng Mingxuan?"

Xu Manman was somewhat surprised.

Why did Meng Mingxuan suddenly come to Guangping County, and leave the hospital after they left?

A cold glint flashed in Fei Huainan's eyes. Only after confirming that Meng Mingxuan had left did he take Xu Manman to the Armed Forces Department.

Xu Manman looked puzzled: "Aren't we going back to Grandpa Zheng's place?"

Fei Huainan explained, "I need to go to the Armed Forces Department first; there's something I need to take care of."

Xu Manman didn't say anything more after hearing this, assuming that Fei Huainan was dealing with work-related matters.

Once they arrived at the Armed Forces Department, the environment became safe. Fei Huainan had a private office, so he let Xu Manman play in the office while he went out.

Xu Manman didn't know what Fei Huainan had gone to do, so she waited alone in the office for three hours until six o'clock in the evening.

Fei Huainan had just returned, followed by Grandpa Zheng, Grandma Bao, and Zhou Lei.

Xu Manman looked shocked.

"Grandpa Zheng, what brings you here?"

"The Armed Forces Department doesn't have a medical clinic, so everyone is prone to injuries during training. Grandpa Zheng is a good doctor, so he will be in charge of the Armed Forces Department's medical clinic from now on."

Zhao Guoan made the arrangements very quickly; the dormitory was already prepared, and the elderly couple and Zhou Lei could move in immediately.

Xu Manman's eyes lit up. In the entire county, the safest place was undoubtedly the Armed Forces Department.

Xu Manman helped move things and tidy up, and the house was cleaned up in an hour.

There was no shortage of food; all the food from home had been brought over, and even firewood had been brought over.

Midway through, Fei Huainan was called away.

The Flying Eagles arrived and secretly took Lao Ba away.

On the surface, the arrest of the spies was a joint operation between the Armed Forces Department and Liu Boyu's side.

In fact, it has always been Fei Huainan who has been in charge.

The reason Lao Ba was taken away by the armed forces was not because they wanted to interrogate him, but because the Flying Eagle Team had already set off.

Old Eight must be taken over by the Flying Eagles.

Old Ba's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets.

He couldn't believe that he had fallen into the hands of the Flying Eagles. The person who captured him was neither the armed forces nor the Flying Eagles, but Fei Huainan.

His people must have been misled.

Lao Ba could almost imagine the disaster this misinformation would bring to their organization.

Old Eight was filled with resentment; he hadn't even had a chance to deliver this important message before he was taken away.

Eighth Brother, the secret has been taken away.

Only Zhao Guoan and a few others knew about it.

The Flying Eagles looked at Fei Huainan without saying a word for a long time.

Zhao Guoan knew that Fei Huainan used to be a member of the Flying Eagles team, and thinking that they had something to say, he left with his men.

After they left, the Eagles team members spoke, their voices choked with emotion.

"Captain, are you alright?"

They all knew that Fei Huainan had regained his identity, but with the captain still nowhere to be seen, everyone remained on tenterhooks.

Now that they've seen their captain in person, everyone is asking him all sorts of questions.

Fei Huainan's eyes softened: "I'm fine, you don't need to worry."

"Old Eight is important. We need to interrogate him thoroughly when we get back. We must get him to talk and find out their plans."

The thought that Lao Ba had almost successfully assassinated his master and mistress made Fei Huainan's coldness even sharper.

The Flying Eagles team members arrived in a hurry, only managing to exchange a few words before leaving hastily.

Unlike when they arrived, after meeting the captain, they felt relieved.

Xu Manman made sure that Grandpa Zheng and Grandma Bao were alright before turning back to find Fei Huainan.

Finding that he wasn't there, she waited in the house for a while before Fei Huainan returned.

When she saw Fei Huainan return, the corners of her mouth actually turned up slightly, and she seemed to be in a good mood.

That's quite rare.

That evening, the driver took them both back to the village.

Fei Huainan turned on the stove as soon as he entered the house, and Xu Manman finally felt warmer.

into the night.

Zhang Hong returned to his dormitory.

He waited all day for Xu Manman to come over, but she never showed up.

Zhang Hong looked suspicious. The talisman given by his master couldn't possibly be wrong; Xu Manman should still feel dizzy and have blurred vision.

Why haven't you gone to the hospital yet!

Zhang Hong looked completely puzzled.

Back home, Xu Manman and Fei Huainan sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), where the warmth dispelled the chill of the room.

A kang table was placed on the kang, and on the table was the yellow talisman.

With the daytime issues resolved, I finally have a chance to study the talisman paper.

Xu Manman knew nothing about these things, and neither did Fei Huainan, but he felt that the talisman in front of him was very familiar.

Between the electric light and flint.

Fei Huainan suddenly remembered something. He told Xu Manman to stay inside and ran out into the yard.

The courtyard was pitch black, and nothing could be seen. Fei Huainan hadn't taken a flashlight with him when he went out.

Soon, a faint clanging sound came from inside the courtyard, and before long, Fei Huainan carried in a wooden box.

Xu Manman looked on with curiosity.

"what is this?"

"The bride price." Fei Huainan placed the items on the table, then took out an old, worn key from a corner of the room.

Fei Huainan wiped the key clean.

The rust on it is from being stored with ironware for a long time.

The key itself is made of red copper, and it becomes very smooth after being wiped clean.

It was a very old key, one that Xu Manman had only ever seen on television.

The key was inserted into the latch, and the brass lock opened instantly.

The box was opened, and the unique brilliance of the jewelry shone brightly in the candlelight.

They were all pearls, jade, and large gemstones; Xu Manman couldn't help but look at them again and again.

That jade pendant is really nothing compared to these gemstones.

These are all prohibited items that cannot be taken out of the country.

Fei Huainan explained.

“These are things left by my grandmother. Although my grandfather liked gambling, he loved my grandmother very much. He couldn’t bear to touch any of the things my grandmother left behind.”

Grandpa Fei became addicted to gambling and lost all his money, land, and family fortune before he stopped gambling.

Then they started living in poverty.

When his family was truly poor, his father was already a teenager. At that time, Fei Huainan had not yet arrived, and he had not witnessed just how wealthy they had been in the past.

However, looking at the contents of the box, it's clear that his family used to be quite wealthy.

Fei Huainan took out the jewelry wrapped in red silk cloth, searched through the box, and finally found a hidden compartment.

The hidden compartment opened, revealing an old-fashioned book.

Xu Manman looked at the jewelry for a while and found that its quality was similar to that of the ones in her space.

Without giving it much thought, she turned her attention to the books in Fei Huainan's hands.

Then Fei Huainan opened the book, which was full of various talismans.

He compared the yellow talismans one by one, finally stopping at a picture of a black magic spell.

The illustrations in the book were exactly the same as the one in Fei Huainan's hand.

There are also annotations next to it.

This technique can cause the victim to hallucinate and lose consciousness, making them completely at the mercy of the sorcerer.

Xu Manman never expected the other party to use such a vicious method. Looking at the talisman, she felt that it was covered with evil energy and looked extremely terrifying.

Fei Huainan was also startled. He only breathed a sigh of relief after reading the entire article.

"If you wear this talisman for a short time, it won't cause any major problems. But if you wear it for more than seven days, you will be affected."
