Chapter 372 -371: There’s More Than Meets the Eye

Luo Ning was the lead actress, while Lou Ranran was the second female lead. It wasn’t as if they could leave as soon as they said they would.

The two discussed with Director Mo and asked for about a week’s leave. During that week, they squeezed in the time to finish filming their parts ahead of schedule.

Luo Ning’s performance was very good, and she hardly ever needed a retake.

Lou Ranran was truly acting for the first time, but she was quite talented. She learned quickly and her performance improved more and more, with retakes becoming less frequent.

Director Mo was very satisfied with both of them, which is why he approved their vacations.

During the filming, Luo Zeshen introduced several more similarly affected rich second or third generations to Luo Ning, asking her to help them with breaking Curse Techniques.

Luo Ning took time out of her busy schedule to deal with it, and because she resolved these Curse Techniques, she earned a considerable amount of money.

She had someone purchase a batch of very precious medicinal plant seedlings and planted them on the mountain.

That day, after breaking a curse for a wealthy heir from out of town, Luo Ning went to dinner with Lu Xun.

By the time she arrived, Lu Xun had already been waiting for a while.

She walked over and lazily leaned on Lu Xun, “I was about to head out when someone came looking for me, so I was delayed for a bit.”

She had messaged Lu Xun earlier, saying she would be late.

Lu Xun raised his hand to press against her forehead, “How many cases of the same Curse Technique have you taken on now?”

“I calculated, and in about a week’s time, including rich heirs from the Capital City and other places, I’ve taken on about nine cases like this.”

Luo Ning continued, “How is the progress on your investigation?”

Lu Xun replied, “I’ve found out that there’s an organization behind these people, specifically targeting rich heirs without much power or backing.”

“There are both male and female victims, and these people aren’t professional Evil Magicians. They just learned the Love Spell to gather wealth and resources.”

He added, “I’ve already found their den, and there’s a good opportunity next week. We should be able to take them down in one swoop.”

“This time we have the Luo Family incident to thank for the reminder; otherwise, the people from the special department wouldn’t have noticed the existence of such an organization.”

It also showed that these people had only recently started and were still testing the waters.

Luo Ning asked, “Besides money, are they collecting other resources?”

Lu Xun said, “Indeed. I have found that several people took the money they tricked others out of and bought a lot of valuable aged medicinal herbs, antiques, and high-quality, expensive materials such as talisman paper and vermillion.”

Luo Ning frowned, “It seems that these people aren’t just after money. The organization behind them is not simple.”

“Let’s see if you can capture some useful clues after taking them down in one fell swoop. I think there are others behind them.”

Lu Xun chuckled softly, “That’s what I think too. The leader of that organization isn’t the real mastermind.”

After sitting for a while, Luo Ning said, “I suddenly feel like having skewers. Let’s change our plans and go for skewers instead today.”

For some reason, she felt that if they didn’t go for skewers today, they might miss out on something.

Lu Xun pampered Luo Ning and naturally wouldn’t object.

Since this restaurant was owned by his friend, they hadn’t ordered yet, so they just gave up the private room.

They then drove to the skewer shop near Imperial University, the one Luo Ning often visited.

The sun had already set, but it wasn’t completely dark yet.

Both wore duckbill hats and masks, subdued their presence, and minimized their visibility before getting out of the car and walking to the shop.

The parking lot was about a fifteen-minute walk to the skewer shop, and they had to pass through an alley.

It was the same alley where Luo Ning was almost splashed with sulfuric acid the last time.

After entering, Luo Ning laughed, “The last time I was here, Xi Shu and I were almost splashed with sulfuric acid, which also led to a fateful encounter between her and Huo Rui.”

Lu Xun said with a smile, “Yes, Huo Ye told me that his brother and Xi Shu have confirmed their relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend.”

Luo Ning smiled and said, “Xi Shu is such a catch; his brother is lucky.”

Although Xi Shu was in a relationship with Huo Rui, her focus was still on work. Recently, she had been accompanying Luo Ning on the set, and nothing much had changed.

If someone else had found a real wealthy and powerful boyfriend, they’d certainly be over the moon.

So, both in her past and present life, Xi Shu was doing well.

As Lu Xun was about to speak, he noticed that Luo Ning’s expression changed.

Then he saw her quickly walk to a telephone pole and stare intently at the ground.

He approached and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Luo Ning wrinkled her brow, “Do you feel anything different?”

On hearing this, Lu Xun concentrated and sensed carefully, his expression also changing.

“I feel my Life Force and Luck are slowly being drained, although the process is very gradual. It’s definitely happening.”

Although Lu Xun wasn’t very skilled in Feng Shui Mystical Technique, he still had this basic sensing ability.

He asked, “Has someone tampered with this telephone pole?”

Luo Ning nodded, “Someone has set up an Array here to drain Life Force and Luck from anyone passing by.”

“Although the amount drained from each person isn’t much and the current impact is minimal, the person who set up the Array can collect Life Force and Luck from many people.”

“And right now, it’s not obvious, but as time goes by, people who often pass by here will begin to have their Luck and Life Force affected. Those who lose more will start to be unlucky.”

Lu Xun hadn’t expected someone to have set up an Array here. What was their purpose?

This type of evil Array was strictly prohibited by the authorities and the special department; such instances hadn’t appeared for many years.

“This is near Imperial University. The students walk through this alley the most every day. Their Luck could not be too low, with some even having a very high level.”

He sneered, “The one who set up the Array has done their calculations well.”

Luo Ning said, “You should report it. I feel that there’s something complex behind this.”

Wherever there was such a coincidence, these issues had suddenly started popping up one after another.

Lu Xun nodded, took out his phone, made a few calls, and asked the special department’s people to come later, when there were fewer people in the alley, to investigate thoroughly.

Luo Ning asked, “Should we break this Array?”

Lu Xun replied, “Not yet. Let’s wait for the special department to collect evidence first.”

“And I wonder if there are other Arrays like this elsewhere.” His concern grew.

Luo Ning suggested, “I guess this isn’t the only one; it would be best to check near businesses with a lot of traffic and schools.”

People working at big companies generally have good abilities and Luck, and the students admitted to high-ranking universities are the same.

Naturally, these people would be the best targets, and it wouldn’t be easy to detect in the short term.

Just like at this place, by the time the special department noticed that many students from Imperial University were suffering bad luck, it would already be too late.

Lu Xun nodded affirmatively, “I will send special department personnel out to search, and also ask for assistance from Fengshui Xuanhui.”

He and Luo Ning were on the same page again.
