In Yue Dingtang's words, the place that may be related to the Yiguan Dao Sect is mysterious and obscure, almost no one knows about it.

Yue Dingtang only knows the name, while Jiang He knows a little more, but only about what kind of activities the Azure Dragon Society is involved in. Jiang He suspects that Lu Tongcang and the Yiguan Dao Sect disciples have some kind of connection, but these suspicions disappeared with Lu Tongcang's death, and there is no evidence left.

The Yiguan Dao Sect's influence has infiltrated various political and economic contradictions, and has grown stronger by taking advantage of the opportunity to take sides.

Eventually, it became deeply rooted and difficult to eradicate, and it is unknown how many immoral and murderous acts it has committed.

Ling Shu had never thought of doing something extraordinary on his own. He was just an ordinary little citizen.

But if he could seize the opportunity and take down one of their strongholds, it would be a lifetime achievement worth boasting about.

But for now, he needed to find Yang Chunhe.

It was nearing midnight on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar.

Shen Renjie was inexplicably nervous, glancing at his pocket watch from time to time.

This pocket watch was a "spoils of war" that a prisoner had bribed him with. He cherished it and liked to show it off. He would take it out and check the time every now and then, making his colleagues envious.

But now, he took it out not to make others jealous, but to use it as a tool to calm himself down. He subconsciously treated the pocket watch as a comforting device, using the time to alleviate his anxiety.

"It's eleven fifty-five...almost fifty-six..." As Shen Renjie was lost in thought, he suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder.

He nearly jumped out of his skin.

He turned around and saw Ling Shu, and his whole body went weak with relief.

"I've been trying to get your attention. Can you at least acknowledge me?" Ling Shu said innocently.

"I didn't hear you," Shen Renjie replied, his face still pale. "Why did you have to scare me like that?"

Ling Shu shrugged. "I tapped you because you weren't responding. How was I supposed to know you'd react like that?"

Shen Renjie sighed. "I didn't sign up for this. I was supposed to lead the reinforcements, not follow you guys into a trap."

Ling Shu said, "We've made arrangements with the patrol station and Jiang He, and they'll follow us all the way to the outskirts of Azure Dragon Mountain Villa, waiting for the right moment to strike. With inside and outside cooperation, we'll destroy that nest in one fell swoop. Jiang He is a good partner. He'll spare no effort to help us eliminate the remnants of Lu Tongcang's forces. Your task is half done. Next, we'll go deep into enemy territory and find out what's going on."

No matter what Ling Shu said, Shen Renjie just couldn't muster the energy.

"Then I guess I'm just extra baggage. Should I stay here and keep Mr. Yang and his wife company in case the enemy comes back for revenge?"

"We are ready to entrust you with a heavy responsibility. We don't know what's going on at Azure Dragon Villa right now. It's just me and Old Yue. If we get caught up in it, we'll need someone like you to watch our backs." Ling Shu said with a face that seemed to be bestowing a great honor upon him.

Shen Renjie murmured, "But what if I get caught up in it too?"

Ling Shu replied, "Then at least we'll have more time to get out of it."

Shen Renjie was speechless.

Seeing that he was about to cry, Ling Shu couldn't help but laugh.

"Since you're going to a wedding, someone must be carrying a gift. You can use that as an excuse to sneak around and see if you can find anything. We'll take them down one by one."

Taking them down one by one?

As long as they don't end up in his stomach, that would be great!

Shen Renjie wasn't as optimistic as Ling Shu, especially when he heard the sound of his pocket watch ticking at twelve o'clock, his heart skipped a beat.

He instinctively looked up towards the door.

At this moment, they were sitting at the square table in the main hall, and the front door was only a dozen steps away from the small courtyard.

Outside was quiet, with no movement at all.

But it was likely that the Yang couple, who were sleeping in the back hall, were also tossing and turning at this moment.

Shen Renjie instinctively looked towards Ling Shu and the others.

Just then, there was the sound of a car slowly stopping outside.

After a while, there was a knocking on the door.

Knock, knock, knock.

Shen Renjie saw that Ling Shu and the others didn't move, so he reluctantly got up and nervously went to open the door.

There was a man in a suit standing outside, and his age was indiscernible because his face was extremely pale, making his suit look like it was made of paper.

The man's eyes were fixed on Shen Renjie, as if he was assessing his identity.

"The auspicious time has arrived. Please get in the car and head to the wedding banquet."

Shen Renjie felt a sudden shock, his scalp exploding!

He saw clearly that the man didn't even open his mouth to speak, and there was no one around.

The voice seemed to come from nowhere, faint and distant, then suddenly close.

He couldn't help but take two steps back, his back pressed by a hand, and he jumped up in fright.

"My parents are bedridden, I am Chunhe's brother, this is my servant, and my friend. There are three of us, can we go together?" It was Ling Shu.

Shen Renjie's feet slipped, almost turning around to hide behind Ling Shu.

The other person stared at Ling Shu, the headlights shining behind him, his expression a blurry shadow, only leaving behind two sinister and cold eyes.

Like the eyes of a dead person, thought Ling Shu.

"Okay."

They heard the voice again, and it was definitely not the man before them who spoke. Shen Renjie looked around nervously.

No one was there, inside or outside the car, only the man.

Could there really be ghosts in this world?

Was he now sitting in a ghost car, on his way to a wedding in a graveyard?

His legs began to tremble uncontrollably, but his arms were held tightly by Ling Shu, leaving him with no control as he was dragged into the car.

Yue Dingtang sat in the passenger seat, while Ling Shu and Shen Renjie sat in the back.

Shen Renjie was scared, but couldn't help but keep an eye on the driver through the rearview mirror.

He even began to suspect that the entire car was made of paper.

There are always folk tales about people being blinded by ghosts and dying without knowing it, becoming ghost substitutes.

But they were deceived by ghosts, while he had willingly walked into this situation - it was like the old saying, "the god of longevity hangs himself because he's tired of living too long!"

But now it was too late to be afraid.

Shen Renjie gritted his teeth and held onto the gift box in his hands.

The car quickly left the city limits, and the streetlights disappeared, leaving only the wilderness around them.

There were many complex small roads and forks in the outskirts of Shanghai, even locals like Shen Renjie couldn't recognize them all.

In the darkness, he was completely lost.

However, Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang seemed unfazed, especially Yue Dingtang.

Shen Renjie stole a few glances at him and was impressed by his calm demeanor sitting next to the ghost driver.

But suddenly, the car stopped.

Shen Renjie's heart skipped a beat.

The other side suddenly lit up, and he realized that two more cars had appeared in front of them.

Two people got out of the cars, dressed similarly to the ghost driver, and stood on either side of the car door.

"What, what are they going to do?" Shen Renjie trembled with fear.

"Let's get out of the car," Ling Shu said. "Let's go."

Shen Renjie exclaimed, "Wait a minute! Are we going to take separate cars? Won't that just scatter us?"

Ling Shu shrugged, "If you don't want to, he won't drive."

Shen Renjie looked at the driver and saw a face as still as death, not moving a muscle.

He had no choice but to get out of the car and follow another person with a deadpan expression into a different car.

The person in the front seat handed him a handkerchief.

Shen Renjie was confused, "What's this for?"

The deadpan face replied, "To cover your eyes."

The voice didn't seem to come from the mouth, as if someone was controlling the puppet from miles away, making the voice sound even more terrifying.

Shen Renjie protested, "No way, this is ridiculous! I'm not going!"

He tried to open the car door, but it was locked.

Looking outside, he realized that the two cars carrying Yue Dingtang and Ling Shu had disappeared without a trace!

"Let me go! I want to get off! I'm not going!"

Shen Renjie summoned his courage and reached out to grab the kidnapper's face.

But before his hand could make contact, he suddenly felt a sharp tingling sensation in his fingertips.

This sensation quickly spread throughout his body, causing him to tremble and collapse, completely unconscious.
