He tricked his amnesiac partner into becoming crippled.

Chapter 190 After Raising Ghosts, I Choose to Lie Down (Part 23)

The man in front of me looked refined and cultured, dressed in a gray suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the air of a business elite.

He held out his hand, a business card between his fingertips, and smiled gently.

"Miss, would you be interested in getting to know me..."

Wen Yan brushed past him, saying, "Not interested." The gilded business card fell to the ground, and the man's face instantly darkened. He took a few quick steps and tried to grab Wen Yan's arm, but Wen Yan dodged and looked at him coldly.

“My name is Li Yuan. I am here to find the Black Glazed Glass for my father. Now that you have obtained the treasure, Miss, you may hand it over to me with this name card…”

"roll."

Her speech was neither polite nor fluent, and it sounded very fake. Wen Yan wasn't interested in listening to her; she was more interested in gathering fragments of her boyfriend's life.

Wen Yan wanted to leave, but Li Yuan refused, blocking her way from the left and right. The scepter, which was originally meant to serve as a facade, became the best tool to block her way.

“Since you have two black glass beads, if you are worried, you can keep one for yourself and I will keep the other for you. In the end, they will all end up in my hands anyway.”

Li Yuan hastily stopped people, even fearing that Wen Yan wouldn't believe him, so he found a lot of supporting materials, including but not limited to business cards, encyclopedia entries, checks, and other items that could prove his identity.

Wen Yan is unbelievable.

How can he fit so many things into the small lining of his suit jacket?

She looked at the property certificate for Lonely Manor in Li Yuan's hand and fell silent, a rare occurrence for her.

This guy even brought his property ownership certificate?

"How about it?"

Li Yuan's gaze was intense, and he looked closely with impatience. He stared intently at Wen Yan, not missing a single change in her expression.

"You're saying I have two Black Glasses?"

Wen Yan's eyes darkened. She hadn't missed the loophole in Li Yuan's words. The person who hired Wen Yun said he would take back the treasure, but he didn't say there were two.

Moreover, she doesn't have two eyes; the other one is clearly Jiang Yu's eyeball.

and many more!

Wen Yan's pupils contracted sharply as he pulled out Jiang Yu's eyeball. It was jet black and clear, as if it had been washed with water, just like another cracked piece of black glass.

If it weren't for the bloodstains on her fingertips, she would have thought she had picked up the wrong thing.

"Yes, that's it."

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, and he reached out to snatch it, but Wen Yan dodged him with a wave of her hand. Under his eager gaze, she put her eyeballs into her pocket, raised her eyes, and said with a slight lift of her lips, "Who said I was going to give them to you?"

"you!"

Li Yuan's face turned bright red, and he couldn't utter a single coherent sentence while pointing at Wen Yan.

This woman is shameless and hateful!

"Unless you tell me how you know I have black glass on me."

But then again.

Wen Yan watched as his expression changed magically, then returned to its gentle and refined state: "It's naturally a feeling."

He deliberately left the story unfinished, only saying half of it.

Wen Yan tapped the ground with a stick, waiting for the next part to follow.

Seeing that she seemed impatient, Li Yuan suddenly straightened his expression and said, "Black glass is a treasure of my Li family, and all direct descendants of my family can sense it."

He was afraid Wen Yan would change her mind, so he explained in detail, fearing that Wen Yan might think it wasn't worth exchanging black glass for these things.

Wen Yan nodded to indicate that she understood, said thank you, and then turned to leave again.

"Wait!" Li Yuanke was stunned, pointing to her pocket: "You're not giving it to me?"

Wen Yan stated bluntly: "No."

Li Yuan exclaimed in disbelief, "But you said you'd give it to me!"

"Young man, the world is a dangerous place. This is the first lesson I'm teaching you: don't trust others too easily. Besides, I didn't promise you anything."

Li Yuan recalled what had just happened; it seemed she hadn't said she would give it to him.

They froze on the spot.

Wen Yan touched the tip of her nose, sighed dramatically, and then took a step.

"You are mean!"

Li Yuan was furious. He pinched the talisman between two fingers, used some magic power, and the thin talisman flew straight towards Wen Yan like a dart.

Wen Yan didn't try to avoid it at all.

Li Yuan was delighted; if he couldn't get it through legal means, he would steal it.

His joyful expression hadn't faded yet, frozen on his face, when he saw the talisman that was flying towards Wen Yan suddenly stop in mid-air and then fall to the ground.

Wen Yan blinked, stood there as if nothing had happened, and gave him a cool glance, her eyes practically screaming "weakling."

Li Yuan was both ashamed and furious. He was so angry at this woman that he forgot all about his father's instructions and shouted at the people who had just escaped to the vicinity:

"She possesses black glass; if you take it, you will receive the protection of the Li family ancestors, and ghosts will not dare to approach!"

Among those who fled here, there were quite a few who knew Li Yuan. Hearing this, they became envious. Only a fool wouldn't seize a life-saving opportunity.

One person took action, and the others followed suit.

They didn't know Li Yuan, but they still wanted to gamble on the treasure, for both money and their lives.

There were at least eight or nine people gathered there. Li Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. He had just scanned the group and found that several of them were quite capable.

Two hands can't fight against... uh, eighteen hands?

Li Yuan wanted to say an idiom, but forgot it at the crucial moment. Without much thought, he simply took a few steps back to make room for the performance.

No matter how powerful she is, she can't overcome overwhelming numbers.

However, Li Yuan forgot that Wen Yan was not alone.

Xiao Bao had been watching the commotion for a long time. When he saw Wen Yan surrounded, he got anxious, grabbed the little dumpling and threw it out. The dumpling was imbued with Xiao Bao's ghostly energy and had tremendous power, sending a group of people flying.

Before Wen Yan could even strike each person with a stick, they were all sent flying.

She was holding a stick, ready to whack the persistent group, when she heard Xiao Bao's childish voice: "Sister, get out of the way!"

Turning her head to look, she saw Xiao Bao's head being launched like a firecracker. Wen Yan took a few steps back to make room for Xiao Bao to play.

Seeing how happy he was, I suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

He was really bored and it's so nice to be able to have fun like this without any worries.

Xiao Bao's cackling laughter sent chills down the spines of the fallen people, who dared not breathe, fearing that a sudden decapitation might send them flying.

The scene was chaotic for a while.

Wu Baoyi, who was hiding, led the viewers in the live broadcast room to watch with great interest.

[Holy crap, this kid is awesome!]

[Although, it's a bit scary; the flying heads and stuff are still too futuristic.]

[Ahhh! Doesn't anyone think the little boy who obediently protects his older sister is handsome?]

[Are you serious, upstairs? He's a ghost! A ghost! Do you even know what a ghost is? Please (with hands clasped in prayer emoji)]

[Actually, keeping a ghost as a pet is pretty cool (sparkling eyes)]

[It's hopeless, hopeless...]

The comments scrolled by like snowflakes, and when she looked up again, Wen Yan was already gone. Wu Baoyi was so busy reading the comments that she completely forgot about chasing after him.

She sighed and resigned herself to carefully following the advice of netizens.

Wen Yan then took Xiao Bao and 233 and took a shortcut out of the villa, heading straight for the Rose Garden.
