After Shen Chun picked up the call, Fu Shi’s voice came from the other end. “Are you done?”

“Almost.” Shen Chun covered her cell phone to prevent the commotion from reaching Fu Shi’s ears. “I’ll go to the crime scene to take a look before going home.”

“Okay.” Fu Shi said coldly, “Don’t worry, 1’11 wait for you in the northern area of the city.”

“You’re in the northern area of the city?” Shen Chun was a little surprised. “When did you come?”

“I just arrived. Luo Yong is already in my car. Just come out later.”

“Okay!” Shen Chun agreed happily. “1’11 look for you immediately.”

After hanging up, Shen Chun turned around and said to Ling Han, “Officer Ling, can 1 trouble you to bring me to the crime scene to take a look? You guys should also end work early. This place is not safe. Ordinary people can’t withstand it at all.”

“This case is too vicious, so the crime scene is sealed off by someone. Even 1 can’t bring you in. However, 1’11 send you the photos and investigation results from the location later.”

“Alright.” Shen Chun nodded. This way, she could see Fu Shi earlier. “Then I’ll have to trouble you, Officer Ling. You guys should leave this place quickly.”

Ling Han smiled bitterly and said, “Thank you for your concern, Miss Shen, but we still want to stay here and investigate the case.”

This was their duty as police officers. Even if they knew what danger they would face, they couldn’t back down.

After Shen Chun thought about it for a moment, she took out a stack of yellow talismans from her bag and left Lan Shan here.

“I’ve already destroyed the Soul Summoning Array. There shouldn’t be any other danger tonight. Lan Shan, stay here and protect them. Report to me if anything happens.” “Yes,” Lan Shan replied.

Ling Han was delighted. “Thank you, Miss Shen.”

“You’re welcome. Then I’ll go look for my husband now.” Shen Chun let the ghost bird transform into an ordinary parrot and brought it out.

When she passed by Mu Chen, she ignored him and looked straight ahead.

Mu Chen’s gaze darkened. He couldn’t explain why, but he felt suffocated for some reason. He asked, “You’re married?”

Shen Chun didn’t even turn around as she said, “It’s none of your business!”

Ling Han and Lan Shan felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so they hurriedly found an excuse to leave, leaving Mu Chen alone in the open space.

He stared at Shen Chun’s back until he could no longer see her, then slowly retracted his gaze. The lotus jade pendant in his hand suddenly lit up, but it quickly extinguished. After Mu Chen put away the jade pendant, he stood up to leave.

This jade pendant wasn’t his, but an old item of Shen Chun’s.

Shen Chun died tragically in that war. Not even her corpse was left, and her soul was destroyed. Only this jade pendant still had a trace of her aura.

Mu Chen was unwilling to accept Shen Chun’s death. All these years, he had relied on this lotus jade pendant to search for Shen Chun’s remnant soul in every corner of the world, in hopes of reviving her.

For so many years, the jade pendant had not responded. Only today did it briefly light up.

It was also that trace of light that brought him to this old city.

However, Shen Chun was nowhere to be seen.

But it didn’t matter. The jade pendant had already begun to respond, so he would continue searching. One day, he would be able to see Shen Chun again.

After Shen Chun walked to the roadside, she realized that there were already a few luxury cars parked there. Before she could approach, the window of one of the cars rolled down.

Luo Yong stuck his head out and waved at her. “Madam, come here quickly.”

After Shen Chun walked over, she opened the car door and sat down beside Fu Shi.

She asked in confusion, “Are you done with work? Why didn’t you return to the villa first?”

Fu Shi nodded and said calmly, “I’m done. I just came to pick you up.”

Luo Yong pursed his lips. Fu Shi’s company was in the south of the city, and they were in the northern area of the city. They had taken a big detour to pick Shen Chun up.

Shen Chun didn’t notice anything amiss. “Then let’s go back quickly. Little Chi should have gone home long ago.”

“There’s a chauffeur to pick him up. Don’t worry,” Fu Shi said as he put down the document in his hand and sized up Shen Chun seriously. Her hair was messy and she was covered in dust. She looked a little woeful.

He frowned and said unhappily, “Why did you end up like this? Isn’t this case unrelated to you?”

“It’s not completely unrelated. After all, the victims were all my classmates. The police can’t find out anything about this case at all. If 1 don’t interfere, no one will uphold justice for them..”
