Gu Yu's flight was the next day, and the filming location was still Yunnan.
This was not only because it was the original source of inspiration, but also the birthplace of the script.
Even though Li Wenbin was very reluctant to admit it, it was indeed thanks to that earthbound spirit.
With the Master as a safety net, and Li Wenbin wanting to produce good results, he naturally had to discuss it with her.
When Gu Yu first heard this reason, he was speechless.
One must know that this was his first film, and it was actually a collaboration between a human and a ghost.
If this were to be spread, normal people would think he was crazy. It was truly outrageous.
"Seventh Brother, you all wear these peace talismans normally, so you won't be affected!"
"And this is the spirit channeling talisman Uncle Li wanted. If he wants to communicate with them, he can just stick it on."
"Normally, don't stick it on. You might encounter unclean things!"
Before leaving, Yao Yao knew the special nature of the film crew, so she thoughtfully made many things.
Looking at the small sealed box in front of him, filled with neatly folded, beautiful lucky charms.
Gu Yu's eyes felt a little warm: "Alright, Seventh Brother will deliver your words."
"Hurry back. It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold."
This worry was clearly superfluous. With her sister's physique, such a small amount of wind and snow couldn't even move her hair.
But expressions of concern never needed too many details; the important thing was the sincerity.
Yao Yao watched her Seventh Brother enter the station until he was out of sight, then she followed her Third Brother home.
On the way back, Gu Jin Nian handed over a tablet.
On the screen was the information of the Fated Person from yesterday's live stream, who was set up and almost lost everything.
"The matter you asked Third Brother to investigate has a result. It's all on here. Take a look."
"Wow, that was fast, thank you, Third Brother."
Yao Yao was currently eating a pomegranate-flavored lollipop. Hearing this answer, she couldn't help but be startled.
Then, a sweet smile appeared on her face.
She certainly hadn't forgotten the Fated Person's predicament. Relying solely on their local police department, efficiency would definitely be insufficient.
Yao Yao didn't want to alert the enemy, so she naturally wanted to get the news as early as possible.
And Third Brother's "Skynet" was extremely effective at tracking online traces.
So, she shamelessly went to him for help.
"We're siblings; no need for thanks." Gu Jin Nian smiled and shook his head.
At first, he thought it was a big trouble. After all, even his own sister was so constrained.
But he found that using Skynet to investigate suspects, not to mention doing it for his own sister, he also had the right to do so.
So, after he simply gave the notification, the results came out today.
Yao Yao carefully scanned the investigation information and found that, as she had guessed, the other party was clearly a habitual offender, and their online traces were also meticulous.
But in this world, once a crime is committed, there will always be traces. Even the most meticulous person will have blind spots.
Yao Yao's gaze fell on a corner of the data.
That part recorded the real IP address of the network, and the registration number that the registrant tried hard to hide.
These things were fragmented, and outsiders simply couldn't make sense of them. But Yao Yao didn't need to think about "logic" because her calculations were directly linked to the "Way of Heaven."
To use her Seventh Brother's words, the real trouble lay in the original "index."
And the evidence collected by Third Brother happened to fill this gap, revealing the truth in an instant.
"...The Fated Person's luck is probably cursed by a broom star; he was really targeted too miserably."
After learning the result, Yao Yao held back a few times, but ultimately couldn't help but sigh.
Because the result of the deduction showed that the culprit who almost ruined his life's savings was the Fated Person's wife's elder brother, in other words, his wife's "biological younger brother."
The Fated Person's wife's family was truly a prime example of favoring sons over daughters...
Besides her, there were two older sisters and one younger sister. Their names were also neatly arranged: Zhao Di (attracting younger brothers), Pan Di (hoping for younger brothers), and Nian Di (missing younger brothers). She herself was "Ying Di" (welcoming younger brother).
Originally, the Fated Person's wife was treated like "livestock" and sold to the Fated Person for a betrothal gift.
It was fortunate that the Fated Person truly liked her. At first, he hadn't made his fortune, and to marry into that family, he had almost lost everything he owned.
Because of this marriage, the Fated Person could be said to have seen through the true nature of his wife's family.
Therefore, after he made his fortune, he tried to avoid contact with them as much as possible, and so did the Fated Person's wife.
But in this world, there are no secrets that can be kept indefinitely. The Fated Person's life got better and better.
However, his mother-in-law's family, due to spoiling the son-in-law they had so painstakingly obtained, ended up raising him into a good-for-nothing who couldn't lift a hand or carry a burden, indulging in gambling, prostitution, and everything else.
Once a person gets involved with "gambling and drugs," not only are they ruined themselves, but their family also suffers.
The Fated Person's mother-in-law's savings were all taken by her elder brother to fill his debts.
And even so, it was far from enough. He owed a mountain of debt.
The Fated Person's mother-in-law naturally came to the Fated Person's house for help, but the Fated Person and his wife were very firm.
They wouldn't give money, and if she made too much trouble, they would even go traveling to avoid her.
This made the Fated Person's mother-in-law very angry. She cursed the Fated Person's family as ungrateful wretches, saying they wouldn't even save their own biological brother/maternal uncle, and were simply inhuman.
But no matter how much she cursed, if she couldn't get money to fill the hole, her son would have his legs broken by loan sharks.
The Fated Person's mother-in-law truly cherished her son and couldn't bear for him to be crippled.
Since she couldn't borrow money through normal channels, she undoubtedly resorted to crooked means.
No one knew where she learned it, but she actually resorted to an online scam.
As the saying goes, "a mother knows her daughter best." The Fated Person's wife was utterly manipulated. Not only did she lure people into the trap, but she also used the victims' psychology to extort them repeatedly.
This was like a bottomless pit. And since it involved online transfers, one transfer after another...
By the time the Fated Person's wife discovered the anomaly, the amount of money lost had already made her vision go black.
Because of this, she didn't even dare to tell her husband, fearing he would divorce her if he knew.
"Hesitating now is foolish!" Yao Yao couldn't help but shake her head.
The more the latter hesitated and procrastinated, the deeper she would fall into the trap and be unable to escape.
If Yao Yao hadn't told the Fated Person to call the police, she might truly have been kept in the dark.
And by the end, she would have lost everything, and she would still be the last to know.
Perhaps there was a way out, after all. Yao Yao asked her Third Brother for help, gaining a time advantage.
At this point in time, the Fated Person's mother-in-law's family had not yet had time to transfer most of the extorted wealth. As long as they were arrested, the losses could be stopped.
So, Yao Yao unhesitatingly told the Fated Person to call the police.
The targets of the arrest were his mother-in-law's family.
Such a colossal sum was enough to put them in prison for life. This was the fate evil people deserved.
After all, if they were allowed to have their way, then Yao Yao would be unhappy.
