After receiving the transfer from Lin Bufan, Lu Miao immediately transferred the money to a charity fund account.

The next day, once Gu Ziheng and Gu Shiyu had left, Lu Miao quickly disguised herself and hailed a taxi to the location she had seen yesterday.

As she approached the door, she raised her hand and pressed the doorbell.

A minute later, she heard hurried footsteps approaching from inside the house, followed by the door opening from the inside.

A woman in her thirties, dressed in a mature and capable manner, appeared at the door. She glanced at Lu Miao up and down before speaking, “You’re Master Mountain River?”

The woman had posted the reward request on the forum, and five so-called masters had already visited, but none of them had been successful. She had given up and was planning to cancel the reward when she unexpectedly received a message that someone had accepted it, using the ID “Master

Mountain River.”

“Yes, it’s me,” Lu Miao nodded.

“I’m Tang Fei,” the woman introduced herself, stepping back to make way for her.

Once inside, Lu Miao immediately furrowed her brows.

The large floor-to-ceiling windows were covered by thick blackout curtains, completely blocking out the bright sunshine outside. Despite the sunny weather, the room was cold and dimly lit, with only a yellowed wall lamp illuminating a small area of the living room.

She could vaguely see the luxurious decor of the living room and the general layout of the surroundings.

It was a four-bedroom apartment with a living room, and the bedrooms were arranged in the shape of a four-leaf clover.

As Lu Miao circled the living room, she squinted her eyes when she passed by the bedroom in the southeast corner.

Tang Fei, who was behind her, asked, “Master, is there something wrong with this house?”

Lu Miao turned to look at her. “You’re probably not the owner of this house.”

Upon hearing this. Tang Fei couldn’t help but feel delighted. If the master

could tell that, then she must have real abilities.

Nodding, she was about to speak when the door of the bedroom in the northeast corner suddenly opened, and a figure that Lu Miao was all too familiar with walked out quickly.

“Sister Fei, Xueqing seems to be feeling unwell.”

Lu Miao stared at the face that she had just parted with half an hour ago, feeling somewhat speechless.

Damn it, she just wanted to make some pocket money on the side. Did things have to be this coincidental?

Fortunately, she had been using disguises recently.

As Gu Ziheng noticed her staring at him in silence, he couldn’t help but raise his hand to touch his face, feeling somewhat perplexed. He asked, “Who are you? Is there something wrong with my face?”

Lu Miao coughed twice, covering her mouth, and used voice modulation techniques to change her voice. She replied, “No, I just feel like I’ve seen you before.”

Tang Fei, who was behind them, didn’t pay attention to why Lu Miao suddenly changed her voice. She continued with the introductions and hurriedly led Lu Miao towards the room.

“This is the master I invited. And this is Gu Ziheng, a singer and Xueqing’s good friend.’

The three of them entered the bedroom.

Inside, just like the living room, it was dimly lit.

Lu Miao raised her hand and pressed the switch on the wall near the entrance, instantly brightening the room with light.

On the opposite bed, a pale-faced woman immediately grabbed the blanket and covered her head, screaming, “Turn it off! Turn it off immediately!”

Tang Fei hurriedly moved to turn off the lights, but Lu Miao stopped her, blocking her hand.

Then she walked straight to the side of the bed and lifted the woman’s blanket in one go.

“Get out! Turn off the lights and give me back my blanket!”

The woman glared at her in anger, her eyes filled with dense red blood vessels, looking as if they were about to bleed.

She was wrapped in a tightly fitted black robe.

Her face had a pale, paper-like complexion.

Bruises were scattered on her exposed neck, hands, and ankles.

The ghastly appearance was even more horrifying against the pale skin.

Gu Ziheng couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

MO Xueqing was his only good friend in the entertainment industry. During the two years when his voice was damaged, she had been there to encourage him, accompanying him through the toughest times.

In the past two years, her career had skyrocketed. She had become a triple-threat in film, television, and music. Her movie “The Last Wildflower” alone had grossed 5 billion at the box office, earning her two Best Actress awards. She was considered one of the top-tier female artists in the industry.

Because of her busy schedule, their meetings had become less frequent. He had been unable to reach her on the phone recently, and it wasn’t until he called Tang Fei today that he found out something had happened.

When he arrived in the morning, Tang Fei only mentioned that she couldn’t be exposed to light. The room had been pitch black, and he hadn’t seen anything while accompanying MO Xueqing.

“Tang Fei, what happened to Xueqing?

Tang Fei shook her head and remained silent.

Lu Miao casually tossed the blanket she was holding aside.

Upon seeing this, MO Xueqing suddenly showed a fierce expression, growling at her in a threatening manner like a wild beast.

Her once snow-white and round teeth now appeared sharp and completely unlike the teeth a human should have.

Lu Miao walked forward and approached the bedside. Just as MO Xueqing was about to pounce on her, Lu Miao reached out and slapped a talisman on her forehead.

MO Xueqing, who had been restless since the lights were turned on, instantly calmed down and obediently sat on the bed.

Tang Fei watched in awe and fear, quickly asking, “Master, what’s wrong with Xueqing?

Lu Miao turned around, looking at her with a smile that wasn’t really a smile. She replied, “Shouldn’t I be the one asking you that question?

Tang Fei’s expression wavered as she looked at the calm and obedient MO Xueqing on the bed. She had a hunch that this so-called young master beside her might actually be able to solve the problem.

After some hesitation, she bit her lip and spoke, “Xueqing has a special identity. If this matter is exposed, her career, relationships, and everything else in her life will be completely ruined. So, regardless of the outcome, I hope you can keep it confidential.”

“That’s our most basic professional ethics,” Lu Miao nodded.

Tang Fei took a slight breath and finally made up her mind to speak.

“In these past few years, Xueqing has faced numerous obstacles and stagnation in her career. The entertainment industry is a place of fame and fortune, where stepping on others and being stepped on is the norm. In this industry, not being popular is considered a crime, and Xueqing has suffered a lot because of

that. ”

“Two years ago, she followed someone’s advice and went to T country to seek blessings and consult a local monk. She brought back an amulet and…,” Tang Fei seemed hesitant to continue.

Lu Miao interjected, “A baby corpse.”

Gu Ziheng’s face changed drastically. “She raised a ghost?”

There has always been a rumor circulating in the industry that raising a ghost can change one’s fortune and bring good luck. However, this method is too sinister, and it’s not without consequences. So most people only listen to it as a mere story and dare not actually act upon it.

He never imagined that MO Xueqing would go to such an extent.

Tang Fei nodded reluctantly. “I advised her against it when I found out, but at that time, she had already brought it back, and I had no other choice. Since then, her career did start to rapidly develop.”

“I thought she had completely mastered how to balance and make use of this matter, but it all changed half a year ago..”
