Oh my god, this is a bolt from the blue! A true heiress of metaphysics!

After a long time, Jiang Kaiyun showed no change, but Shi Xiaxia was sweating profusely.

Qiao Zihao turned around and looked at her: "Xiaxia, are you done?"

Shi Xiaxia awkwardly withdrew her hand and whispered, "Director Jiang's soul is trapped. I need to use a talisman to help him."

Shen Yuanshuang immediately became sarcastic: "You're even using talismans? Does that mean you need to set up an altar and perform a shamanic dance?"

"What are you pretending for if you don't have the ability?! Even if you want to impress the director, you should..."

Qiao Zihao glared at Shen Yuanshuang: "You disturbed Director Jiang!"

Qiao Zihao comes from a wealthy family, and Shen Yuanshuang knows that even if she is working for the Shen family, she cannot offend him.

But unwilling to miss the spectacle of Shi Xiaxia "shooting herself in the foot," she found a place to sit down.

Qiao Zihao then asked Shi Xiaxia, "What kind of talisman paper do you need? I'll go buy some right now."

“Ordinary yellow paper and cinnabar will do,” Shi Xiaxia said, glancing at Shen Yuanshuang.

With a face that looks like she'll die young, Shen Yuanshuang won't be around for long even without her intervention.

"Okay! I'll go right now!" Qiao Zihao agreed and left.

After Qiao Zihao left, Shen Yuanshuang scoffed, "That's enough with the pretense! Don't make things difficult to handle after you buy the goods."

Neither Shi Xiaxia nor Zhao Guan responded.

Shen Yuanshuang continued, "I know you want to perform well in front of Director Zhao, but you should also know your own limitations. You..."

Shi Xiaxia glanced at her sideways: "Is your mouth rented? Are you so afraid of wasting it?"

Shen Yuanshuang froze instantly. She glared fiercely at Shi Xiaxia before falling silent.

......

Half an hour later, Qiao Zihao returned to the ward with his belongings.

Shi Xiaxia took out yellow paper, dipped her finger in cinnabar, and began to draw talismans.

After the last stroke was completed, a gentle breath was blown, and a golden light flashed across the talisman.

This scene made Qiao Zihao's eyes widen.

Even Shen Yuanshuang, who had been watching the spectacle with amusement, changed her expression at this moment.

She seemed to have underestimated Shi Xiaxia.

Shi Xiaxia raised her hand and stuck the talisman on Jiang Kaiyun's forehead.

After silently reciting the incantation, he called out Jiang Kaiyun's name.

Jiang Kaiyun finally showed a slight reaction, but her soul was slow to return.

Shi Xiaxia suddenly exclaimed, "Director Jiang, 'The President's Fierce Love' has extremely high ratings, and Qiao Zihao has become a movie star because of it!"

"Fucking fart!"

Jiang Kaiyun immediately burst into a tirade: "Qiao Zihao is good for nothing except his face! He couldn't even be a movie star if he were a pig!"

Qiao Zihao: "..."

He was a little angry, but Jiang Kaiyun complimented him on his looks...

But I'm still so angry!

Qiao Zihao looked at Shi Xiaxia with a resentful gaze.

I shouldn't have brought her this time! She made me the butt of their jokes!

At this moment, Zhao Guan stepped forward, looked Jiang Kaiyun up and down, and asked with concern, "Old Jiang, are you alright?"

Jiang Kaiyun was slightly taken aback before saying, "I'm out?"

"Oh dear, I've finally escaped!"

Jiang Kaiyun breathed a sigh of relief and began to pour out her grievances: "That really scared me!"

"What happened?!"

Qiao Zihao put aside his anger and looked at him with the curiosity of a child: "What exactly happened?"

"Forehead......"

Jiang Kaiyun felt somewhat embarrassed when she thought about what she had said about Qiao Zihao.

He glanced around, then said as if nothing had happened, "I don't remember very clearly, but a woman asked me to go to the river."

Shen Yuanshuang smiled and set a trap for Shi Xiaxia: "Director Jiang, it was Shi Xiaxia who saved you, she must know what happened."

Shi Xiaxia ignored Shen Yuanshuang: "Did Director Jiang go to the water's edge before the accident?"

"Yes." Jiang Kaiyun nodded: "They went fishing."

"The water ghost wants to drag you down as its scapegoat."

Shi Xiaxia pointed to the Buddha amulet around Jiang Kaiyun's neck: "It was the Buddha amulet that protected you from disaster, otherwise you would have died directly."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kaiyun immediately took out the Buddha amulet and examined it, discovering that it already had cracks, and couldn't help but gasp.

Shen Yuanshuang rolled her eyes dismissively, thinking it was just a coincidence.

She wanted to see just how many tricks Shi Xiaxia had up her sleeve!

Then he continued, "Shi Xiaxia, you're so amazing, you must be able to subdue the water ghost, right?"

Qiao Zihao immediately looked at Shen Yuanshuang: "Did you go to Dunhuang for tourism? There are so many murals there!"

"You!" Shen Yuanshuang was furious.

"It's Xiaxia who understands, not you! Why are you giving me these nonsensical instructions?"

Qiao Zihao spoke without any politeness, showing no respect for Shen Yuanshuang.

Shi Xiaxia then said, "It definitely needs to be dealt with, otherwise the water ghost will come back again."

"what?"

Jiang Kaiyun's mouth dropped open in surprise: "What should we do then?"

Just as Shen Yuanshuang opened her mouth to say something, Shi Xiaxia, not wanting to listen, directly stuffed a small orange into Shen Yuanshuang's mouth.

Shen Yuanshuang: "!!!"

She took a few steps back and started picking at the orange, but couldn't spit it out at all.

Qiao Zihao thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask my older brother; he should know some masters."

Shi Xiaxia shook her head: "No need, I can catch this water ghost."

Jiang Kaiyun felt it wasn't safe and didn't believe Shi Xiaxia could really catch the water ghost.

But seeing that she had already walked out, and also curious about what was going on, he agreed.

"Ugh...ugh..." Shen Yuanshuang cried out anxiously, then smashed the orange with her bare hands before she could speak.

Afterwards, the group went together to the riverbank where Jiang Kaiyun was fishing.

......

As the group got out of the car and walked towards the river, they saw a man in his forties carrying fishing gear.

He muttered something unlucky under his breath and shook his head as he left.

"Big brother!"

Qiao Zihao greeted the middle-aged man warmly and asked, "Why are you sighing like that? What happened?"

The middle-aged man sized them up and, seeing that they hadn't brought any fishing gear, kindly advised, "Are you here to have fun? You should leave now! This place isn't clean!"

Qiao Zihao immediately offered him some good cigarettes and asked with a smile, "What exactly happened? Tell me, brother!"

"I caught several fish in a row, but they were all dead and had their mouths facing the air. Isn't that because they're unclean?"

The middle-aged man took the cigarette and took a deep drag.

Then, pointing to the water's edge, he said, "There are guide fish by the water! And more than one! I dare not come here again!"

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and was about to leave.

Shi Xiaxia remembered that they hadn't brought any tools when they came, so she said, "Big brother, can you sell me your fishing rod?"

The middle-aged man was startled.

He said it was so serious, how could she still dare to buy a fishing rod and go fishing?!

"Guiding fish! Little girl, do you know what guiding fish means?"
