Chapter 6 — Reading Fortune Telling Under the Bridge, I Was Arrested by My Ex-Boyfriend and Taken to the Police Station
In the following days, Luc Thoi Xuyen and I handled all kinds of strange cases. There are headless nurses who sing in the hospital at midnight, there are fox spirits hidden in ancient paintings that specialize in seducing men, there are souls trapped in internet shops because they died from addiction to online games... All kinds of things, extremely strange. I am no longer afraid of my abilities, on the contrary, I am becoming more and more skilled and confident. Luc Thoi Xuyen is also always by my side, using his "evil-destroying ability" to protect me every step of the way. Our feelings, through each time we fought side by side, also became deeper and deeper. Until one day, Mr. Tan called me into his office. He gave me a file that had been covered in dust for a long time. On the cover of the document, write two words:
“Jiang.”
10. I opened the file suspiciously. Inside is recorded all the information about several generations of our Giang family. Starting from my great-grandfather, in every generation there will be a person who possesses the "yin and yang eye". And all of them... not one of them lived beyond the age of thirty, they all died unexpectedly. The reason is because our Giang family is haunted by an extremely cruel curse.
“Is this… real?” I asked tremblingly.
“It's true.” Old Qin sighed, "Our Special Department has been paying attention to your family for a long time. This curse is called the 'Seven Generations Absolute Spell', and was cast by an evil Taoist hundreds of years ago. He has a deep blood feud with the Jiang family's ancestors."
“This curse will cause every generation of people with yin and yang eyes of the Giang family to be betrayed by evil spirits before the age of thirty, forever unable to be reborn.”
My whole body felt cold, like falling into an ice cellar. This year I am twenty-five years old.
“So… is there any way to solve it?”
“Yes.” Old Tan's eyes were serious, "We must find the descendants of that evil Taoist and get his blood to be able to lift the curse."
“Where is he?”
"We searched for a long time, only to know that his descendants have changed their names and are now living in this city. Furthermore, he is... a policeman."
There was a "beep" sound in my head. Police? A crazy thought suddenly arose in my head. I rushed out of Mr. Tan's office, like a crazy person running to find Luc Thoi Xuyen. He is practicing shooting at the shooting range. Seeing me rushing towards him with a pale face, he immediately dropped the gun and ran to my side.
“Tri Tri, what's wrong with you?”
I grabbed his hand tightly and looked deeply into his eyes.
"Luc Thoi Xuyen, tell me the truth about your identity. Is... is there something you're hiding from me?"
Luc Thoi Xuyen's body stiffened. He was silent for a long time, so long that I thought he wouldn't answer. Finally, he struggled to open his mouth:
"I... am not the biological child of the Luc family. I was adopted."
My heart sank little by little.
“So… your original family name, is it… Trieu?”
I remember clearly, the murderer - Trieu Minh - also has the last name Trieu. That evil Taoist's name is also Trieu. Luc Thoi Xuyen's face instantly turned pale.
“How do you know?”
I smiled - a smile that was more unsightly than crying. It turns out, around for a while, the person I love... is actually the descendant of my enemy. Between us, there is a sea of blood and hatred between us. I pulled my hand away from him, taking steps back.
"Luc Thoi Xuyen, let's break up."
“Why?” He rushed forward, grabbed my shoulder tightly, his eyes were red, "Tri Tri, what happened? You said come with me!”
“There is no reason!” I shouted desperately, “I don't want to see you anymore! Go away!"
I used all my strength to push him away, turned around and ran away. I can't tell you the truth. I can't let you save me at the cost of your life. I'd rather face that curse alone than drag you in. This is the karma of my Giang family, it must be ended by me. I ran straight home and locked myself in my room. I took the old magic book that the Taoist priest left behind and frantically searched for a way to solve the curse. Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I have to try. Three days later, Luc Thoi Xuyen came to me. He broke the lock on my door, his whole body was completely emaciated, his beard was full, his eyes were full of blood. He threw a DNA test paper in front of me.
“Look clearly. I and that evil Taoist... do not have any blood relationship!”
I was stunned and took the report. It clearly states: the gene sequences of Luc Thoi Xuyen and that evil Taoist named Trieu, match at 0%.
“This… how is this possible?”
"My last name is Trieu, but I'm not his descendant!" Luc Thoi Xuyen said, “Old Qin has already investigated clearly a long time ago! That guy's real descendant... is someone else!”
\deer?"
“Tran Vu.”
I was completely dumbfounded. It's that harmless-looking police officer Tran Vu again?!
"It was he who took the initiative to find Mr. Tan." Luc Thoi Xuyen said, “While arranging his ancestors' relics, he discovered the family's secret. He didn't want his ancestors' sins to continue, so he agreed to use his blood to help me break the spell."
My tears finally couldn't hold back any longer and fell down. It turns out... it was all just a misunderstanding on my part.
"Sorry... Luc Thoi Xuyen... sorry..." I rushed into his arms, bursting into tears.
“You idiot.” He hugged me tightly, his voice hoarse, "How could I leave you alone?"
With the help of Mr. Tan and Tran Vu, the curse on me was finally lifted. When a drop of Tran Vu's blood dripped between my eyebrows, the black talisman symbol that had haunted the Giang family for hundreds of years immediately turned into green smoke, completely disappearing. I felt light all over, as if a thousand-pound burden had been lifted. I looked at Tran Vu and sincerely thanked him. He shyly scratched his head:
“No need to be polite, just consider me atonement for my ancestors. Also... I don't want Team Luc to be single for the rest of their lives."
We all laughed. After the rain, the sky is bright again. The feelings between me and Luc Thoi Xuyen, after that life and death event, became even stronger and unbreakable. Half a year later, we held the wedding. On the wedding day, all of our colleagues from the Special Affairs Department attended, and Mr. Tan acted as our wedding witness. I wore a pure white wedding dress and looked at the tall, handsome man wearing a police uniform standing in front of me. You are the light in my life, dispelling all darkness.
"Miss Giang Tri, do you agree to marry Mr. Luc Thoi Xuyen, whether rich or poor, whether healthy or sick, we will never leave each other?"
I smiled and replied loudly:
“I agree!”
Luc Thoi Xuyen also looked at me, his eyes filled with affection and tenderness.
“Mr. Luc Thoi Xuyen, do you agree—”
He didn't let Mr. Tan finish his question, so he quickly said:
“I agree!”
The whole auditorium laughed happily. When he put the ring on my finger, I seemed to see countless golden points of light circling around us. I know, it's a blessing from another world. There is Luu Le Le. There were children who were super blessed in the old amusement park. There are even dead ancestors of the Giang family. All of them… are blessing us. After the wedding, Luc Thoi Xuyen hugged me and said softly in my ear:
“Dear wife… tonight…”
I blushed, raised my hand and lightly hit him:
“What are you thinking! There's a verdict tonight!”
He paused for a second, then burst out laughing helplessly:
“Okay, my occult advisor.”
I stood on tiptoe and placed a kiss on his lips.
"But... let's deal with the main issue first, then deal with the case later."
His eyes lit up, he immediately picked me up and strode to take me into our wedding room. Outside the window, the night sky is bright with moonlight and few stars. My yin and yang eyes, now no longer see scary ghosts... But a sky full of stars, and a brilliant future — just for me and him. (Run out of)
