Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Shiyu's face flushed red instantly, and she almost threw her older brother out of her arms.

"Could it be that my older brother is—"

Seeing her hesitant expression, Wu Zhao suppressed a laugh: "Yes, that's exactly what you think. If he weren't in good health, he'd probably be dead by now."

"That idiot brother!" Wu Shiyu couldn't help but curse. "He should be alright now, right?"

Wu Zhao grunted in response.

She thought something had happened to Wu Liufeng, but it seemed he was just being haunted by nightmares.

But isn't it a bit too illogical that no one around him noticed his strange appearance?

"Xiao Yu?!" Wu Shiyu also realized something was wrong, and she exclaimed softly. "Ancestor, is there something wrong with Xiao Yu?"

Even if there were problems now, they'd probably already disappeared. Wu Zhao thought to himself.

Soon, Wu Xingyun ran in from outside, looking somewhat panicked: "Grandma, a skeleton has suddenly appeared at our doorstep!"

"And he tried to run out but suddenly died at the door, turned into bones! And the security guards came too, but no one called the police, so why did they arrive so quickly..."

He looked at Wu Zhao and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, why don't you go and take a look?"

Wu Zhao chuckled: "What a coincidence! The person who's coming isn't... Gu Jiaxi?"

“Uh, it’s him.” Wu Xingyun nodded.

really interesting.

Wu Zhao glanced at the unconscious Wu Liufeng and the troubled-looking Wu Shiyu.

“You stay here and guard him,” Wu Zhao said, pulling a spirit from his ring. “This is my contracted spirit servant, Shen Qingqing. She’s not very powerful, but she’s good at escaping.”

As soon as she came out, Shen Qingqing heard Wu Zhao's impolite words and immediately felt a little guilty.

"I... am somewhat useful." She muttered, feeling the intense pressure from the surrounding environment, her pale face darkening. "Master, where is this... how can there be such a terrifying aura!"

"Never mind where they are, just keep an eye on them. If anything unclean appears, deal with it if you can, otherwise take them and run away."

This Wu family doesn't seem safe at all.

"Let's go to the ancestral hall." After she finished speaking, she pulled Wu Xingyun and walked outside.

As they walked, he said, "Go help your uncle up, and let Phoenix take you to the ancestral hall."

What kind of demons and monsters dare to cause trouble in the Wu family? They must have a death wish!

Wu Zhao thought to herself, then took out her phone and called Gu Chen.

The call was quickly answered, and Gu Chen's voice came through the phone: "What's wrong, Zhao Zhao?"

“Come to the Wu family, I need your help.” Wu Zhao said, already seeing the police car parked at the gate and Gu Jiaxi standing there.

Gu Chen didn't ask why, but quickly agreed, "Okay, wait for me."

When Wu Xingyun saw Gu Jiaxi approaching, he immediately said, "Those bones have nothing to do with our Wu family. He suddenly became like that on his own."

Gu Jiaxi didn't look at him, but said to Wu Zhao, "Miss Wu, we meet again."

"Hmm." Wu Zhao looked him over. "You responded to the police pretty quickly. Someone contacted you before you came, right?"

“Yes.” Gu Jiaxi did not hide anything. “We received a report that the Wu family was murdering people and using a very evil witchcraft to try to awaken a god from a thousand years ago.”

They came with some skepticism, but they never expected to see Xiao Yu turned into a pile of bones at the gate of the Wu family before the car had even come to a complete stop.

The bones are still scattered outside the Wu family's gate, waiting for them to collect them.

Huh? Wu Zhao frowned slightly.

“It’s the Nie family,” Gu Jiaxi added. “We’ve investigated the source of that emergency call; it came from a villa belonging to the Nie family.”

He tentatively asked, "Miss Wu, is there some kind of conflict with the Nie family? The Nie family and the Wu family are related by marriage. Is there... some misunderstanding?"

"Because this happened so suddenly, and the Wu family holds such a special position in the capital, the higher-ups have instructed us not to close the case casually. We hope the Wu family can provide a reasonable explanation for this matter."

Wu Xingyun rolled his eyes: "What's there to explain? We don't know why he suddenly turned into bones at my doorstep. Besides, what resurrection god witch? Good heavens, if she could just randomly resurrect someone, wouldn't the world be in chaos!"

He didn't mince words, showing no remorse whatsoever for the death in his family.

“…Xingyun.” Wu Zhao pressed down on Wu Xingyun. “Don’t say anything more. Leave this to me. Do as I just said.”

Wu Xingyun glared at Gu Jiaxi before turning around and jogging away.

Wu Zhao reassured him before saying, "I have indeed had some dealings with Nie Wu from the Nie family."

"To be precise, I injured her once. The premise is that she hurt the Wu family first. Speaking of which, the injured person is still lying in bed and can't get up."

Thinking of Wu Liufeng's face, which looked like he was about to die at any moment, Wu Zhao said bluntly, "If Captain Gu doesn't believe me, he can go in and take a look. I didn't expect someone to make false accusations first and then turn the tables on you."

Wu Zhao, who could lie without batting an eye, continued to mutter, "I reasonably suspect that Nie Wu manipulated all of this and then framed the Wu family."

She smiled meaningfully: "After all, she's eagerly waiting to resurrect her lover."

"Captain Gu, why don't we ask her where she's kept her lover's body? Why hasn't she been cremated and buried yet, even after all this time?"

Gu Jiaxi paused, "There's such a thing?"

He turned to his team members behind him and whispered something to them, then looked at Wu Zhao and said, "We will investigate the clue provided by Miss Wu, but before we confirm it... I hope you will not leave the Wu family."

Seeing a hint of seriousness in his expression, Wu Zhao pondered, "Is the Security Bureau planning to seal off the Wu family?"

"I'm sorry, this is the order from above." Gu Jiaxi nodded. "From now on, the Wu family will only accept investment and not give it out."

"Fine." Wu Zhao shrugged.

If she wants to leave, I doubt anyone can stop her.

The police force deployed a large number of officers to blockade the Wu family's residence, but they were unable to stop Gu Chen's car.

Seeing Gu Chen step out of the car, Gu Jiaxi's expression became somewhat tense.

"Uncle."

Gu Chen simply nodded and walked past him.

Qingyao, who was following behind him, shook his head at Gu Jiaxi, signaling him not to say anything more.

"Zhao Zhao, I'm here." Gu Chen walked up to Wu Zhao and carefully examined her.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was unharmed.

"What? You think I called you over because I was injured?"

Wu Zhao asked, somewhat amused.

She simply wanted to break the seal left in the ancestral hall, so she needed Gu Chen to give her some luck.

"It's good that you're alright." Gu Chen's lips curled up slightly.

He reached out and intertwined his fingers with hers, and a gentle purple aura flowed into her body.

Sensing the surge of spiritual energy emanating from his body, Wu Zhao looked at him with a hint of joy in her eyes.

His forehead was still slightly damp, showing that he had walked very quickly.

Wu Zhao was somewhat moved.

She stopped and, under Gu Chen's somewhat surprised gaze, said softly, "Gu Chen, thank you."

Thank you for your unconditional indulgence.

Gu Chen held her hand tightly, feeling the warmth of her palm.

“I am willing, Zhaozhao.”
