"How about I just fetch you from there . Give me half an hour, alright?"

"Fetch me? With what?" I asked .

"Pang Guang"s Land Rover," he responded with a laugh .

"You"re really inheriting everything, huh? Taking over the magpie"s nest?"

"Can"t deny that . Thankfully, he"s not married yet . His girlfriend packed up and left yesterday . If he had been married, things would have been more tricky . "

"Wait, girlfriend? Do you have her contact number?" I asked urgently .

"Wow, you"re taking someone else"s leftovers?" Dahai asked and I could hear the judgment in his tone .

"No, idiot . I sold a doll to that lady . "

"Selling fake goods to your own people, huh?" he commented with a laugh .

"Don"t laugh . I think their deaths have something to do with this stuff . "

"Hey, hey, you don"t have to claim credits . I"ll pull you up either way . "

"That"s not the case . Remember the pocket watch?"

"What about it?"

"It"s evil . "

"Didn"t I tell you to get rid of it as soon as possible?"

"Pang Guang brought his girlfriend over after you left that day . She was looking for something to help her seek revenge so I gave her the doll . Your cousin then took a liking to the watch and even said that it is good stuff . He paid me 1,300 for it . "

"Didn"t I treat you to a meal the day after that? Why didn"t you tell me then?"

"How am I supposed to tell you that I accepted your relative"s money?" I asked bitterly .

"Lu Qiao . . . all Pangs are dead now except for those from the fifth son"s family . Regardless of s.e.x, they all died brutally in different accidents . Car crashes, fire, and so on . Xiaomei was with Pang Guang when he got crushed by a lorry . They were even holding hands when it happened! Pang Guang"s parents bawled their eyes out . His father died from a heart attack shortly after and his mom then jumped off from the hospital building . "

I exclaimed, "How do you sleep at night?"

"I slept very well, mind you . All the inheritance belongs to me now . "

"Come pick me up, quick . "

"Alright, alright, I"m up . d.a.m.n! I finally could get a good night"s rest and you have to ruin my plans . I"m a billionaire but you"re demanding me to be your chauffeur now?" he joked before giving a loud yawn .

A message came in a few minutes later . Dahai sent me Xiaomei"s number .

I immediately called the number .

"h.e.l.lo," a familiar voice greeted sleepily .

I forgot that it"s actually four in the morning .

"Hi! You"re Xiaomei?" I asked .

"Yeah, who are you?" she asked, confused .

"You came over to my stall with Brother Guang last week . Do you remember?"

"Oh, Master! Your stuff works . "

"It did? I"m actually calling you about that . "

"The police isn"t looking for you, are they? I did not say anything . "

I didn"t understand what she was talking about . "What police?" 

"Well, isn"t that what you wanted to talk to me about?"

"Tell me about the police first . "

"I didn"t tell them anything . Please do the same if they look for you . I have nothing against my colleague . I just wanted Pang Guang to notice me more . We were planning to get married but ever since we started living together, he became violent . That was the real reason why I got the doll from you . I used his photo and his hair . I really did not expect it to be so effective . I hammered it a few times only, but alas, he died the very next day . I simply wanted to teach him a small lesson . I"ve already burned the doll and I did not reveal anything to the police . I"ve been looking for you as well . I just wanna know if there will be any side effects to something this effective?"

"Wait, the police interrogated you?"

"Pang Guang died before my eyes so I had to give a statement . I was pretty nervous during the process but the police did not ask about any other matters, so I definitely did not reveal any unnecessary details . I"ve already flushed his ashes yesterday . His relative, Dahai, went over to his place and I pa.s.sed the key to him . Are there really no side effects to this? I"m so afraid now," she explained worriedly .

"Yes, don"t worry about it . Do you remember the pocket watch that Pang Guang bought from me?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"Is it with you?"

"He brought it home and kept it in the safe . I wasn"t allowed to touch it . He did mention repeatedly that it"s a treasure . Do you want it back?"

"No, no, forget it . Thanks," I replied .

"How did you get my number, Master?"

"Just got it from someone . Don"t worry about it . Delete my number . I won"t reveal anything either . We"ll just pretend not to know each other . That"s all, thanks . "

"You"re really a master, Master . I swear that I didn"t mean for this to happen . I"ve been having nightmares for the past few nights . It"s not because of the side effect, is it?"

"Maybe his spirit is still around since he died unjustly . This number is tied to my AliPay account . Drop 1,800 in and I"ll dispel his spirit for you . "

I"m charging her just to see if she"s speaking the truth .

"Alright, Master," she finished before hanging up .

I looked down at my own dolls .

Do they really work? No way . . .

If something"s at work, it has to be that watch .

It must be special, somehow .

My phone lit up . "1,800 has been deposited into your account . Please check . "

After a short while, I sent her a text: I"ve done the expulsion but there"s still a little bit of stubborn spirit . You might still dream of him and other small things, but don"t worry, he can no longer hurt you . "

I received a thank you message a few minutes later .

A call came through from Dahai .

He"s waiting by the entrance of the market .
