Yi Yi was still in a state of shock, she never thought that her seductive techniques would be discovered so easily.

The reason why she was able to live well was because she wanted to flatter others. Yi Yi did not want to live a life like this anymore.

It was just that Zhong Wentao's words gave her a final strike. If she did not do this, her life would have been even worse than it was now, and this was definitely not a good thing for her.

"Shh."

Lifting his finger to his lips, Zhong Wentao gave a charming smile.

Yi Yi was confused, but she still managed to calm down.

Night was falling, and they did not leave the western restaurant until midnight.

Standing on the dark street, there were only a few street lights that were still lit. In half an hour, all of these street lights would be extinguished and the area would become very dark.

The bright pearl of Begonia, which was normally brightly lit, had completely sunk into darkness. Even the signboard had been taken off, making it seem extremely lonely.

"What on earth do you want from me?"

Yi Yi asked anxiously, wanting to finish reconnecting the tail quickly.

Although the tail was still behind her, it didn't connect well. There was always a feeling of it falling off.

"Shh."

Zheng Yu impatiently let out a voice, as he wanted to take revenge for Yi Yi's prank on him.

There was still a little heat left in his body, but it was not completely gone.

Knowing that she was in the wrong, Yi Yi did not act in a coquettish manner like she did when she had just met him.

Zhong Wentao took the lead as Yi Yi and Zheng Yu followed closely behind him.

In Qin Haitang's home, he found the backup key to the Begonia Pearl and brought three people in through the back door without making a sound.

This backup key originally belonged to Qin Mingzhu, but when Qin Mingzhu went into a rage and smashed all the items, Eva appeared in the living room. Zhong Wentao originally wanted to return the key to Qin Mingzhu, but he did not have the chance to do so.

"This place is …"

Yi Yi obviously knew where this place was. She glanced at Zhong Wentao and furrowed her brows, feeling that she was being dragged into some secret.

Zhong Wentao did not reply. He used a cloth to cover Yi Yi's eyes, making his sense of smell and hearing sharper.

"Take a deep breath. Those places with strange auras, take us there."

As she whispered, Zhong Wentao was guiding Yi Yi.

Yi Yi nodded slightly and followed what Zhong Wentao had taught him.

His body slowly walked in the Begonia Pearl, as if he was walking in a place with a scent.

Zhong Wentao and Zheng Yu were in front and behind her, so they guaranteed that she wouldn't bump into anything that would affect his ability to concentrate.

Slowly, the three arrived at the office where Qin Haitang died. Upon entering, Yi Yi could clearly feel that the strange smell was getting stronger.

Standing at the spot where Qin Haitang died, Yi Yi said seriously: "There's something here, there's something here."

"The smell of blood?"

Zhong Wentao asked softly.

"Right."

Yi Yi answered seriously, she thought about it, then shook her head: It's not only the smell of blood, but also the smell.

"Smells good?"

Zheng Yu didn't feel anything.

"Women all like perfume, what's the big deal?"

Yi Yi rolled her eyes at Zheng Yu in her heart, this was not even the smell of perfume.

The smell of perfume won't stay for long. Moreover, the smell is very strong. If it was an ordinary perfume, then so many people would come in to investigate and move about. The strong smell of blood would have long been concealed.

Zheng Yu was a little embarrassed and continued to speak with unwillingness: "Then tell me, if it's not the smell of perfume, then what is the problem?"

Yi Yi was somewhat silent, as she silently pondered.

Only after a long while did he spit out two words.

"Spice."

It was the smell of spices. Only spices could last so long, and they could even absorb the smell of blood and continue to evaporate the fragrance. However, there was a spice that was once thought of at the scene of murder, so just thinking about it was very strange.

"Any other questions?"

Zhong Wentao asked. This was a rare opportunity, they had to find some clues as soon as possible.

The spice was a good way to go, if not for Yi Yi and the others, they would not have known about it so quickly.

Yi Yi continued to walk around the entire Begonia Pearl, not leaving a single room. Doing all of this was already something that happened a few hours later.

Other than the smell of spices in the office, there was no other smell.

In just a few hours, there was only one clue, and that was to collect the goods. However, there was still a long way to go before he could find the real culprit behind this.

The cleaners outside were already at work. They had to leave as soon as possible, or else they would be noticed.

He locked the back door and put it under the flowerpot on the side, pretending that this thing was already here.

The cloth covering Yi Yi's eyes had long been removed, she only looked at Zhong Wentao anxiously, hoping to catch his tail quickly.

Zhong Wentao did not break his promise and immediately took action, catching the tail in a few minutes.

Yi Yi moved her invisible tail, and then she completely relaxed.

"Don't tell anyone about what happened today, or your tail …"

Yi Yi immediately nodded. She no longer had the figure of the first time she met her.

The woman in red had long since changed.

returned to the Ciji Hall, while Zhong Wentao went to Qin Mingzhu's place. As for Yi Yi's final departure, it was unknown where she had gone.

Zheng Yu followed Zhong Wentao's instructions, left first and returned, just in time to see Yi Yi get into a black car, and take down the license plate before going back alone.

When Zhong Wentao returned to Qin Haitang's home, it was already 5 in the morning. The servants had already woken up early to prepare breakfast, two were busy in the kitchen, and two were still guarding in Qin Mingzhu's room. They did not sleep the whole night, and would switch shifts with the other two when breakfast was ready.

Seeing that everything was in order, Zhong Wentao nodded his head in satisfaction.

He suddenly had a feeling that Qin Haitang might have known that she was going to die, that's why he found four such suitable servants to accompany Qin Mingzhu in life before she died.

If Qin Haitang knew who it was that wanted to kill her, then her death wouldn't be that surprising, but it was within her expectations.

"Any leads?"

Qin Mingzhu's voice suddenly sounded. She stood behind the railing on the second floor and coldly looked at him.

Behind him were two nervous servants standing, ready for Qin Mingzhu to jump down and quickly pull them back.

Zhong Wentao only shook his head, he did not plan to reveal the matter regarding the spice.

Up till now, Qin Mingzhu was still very calm on the surface, but he understood that if Qin Mingzhu knew who the culprit was, she would definitely kill that person personally.

"Hmph, you're nothing much."

Qin Mingzhu snorted as she slowly walked down from the stairs.

Qin Haitang's death made her weird personality turn even more intense. She sat opposite to Zhong Wentao, looking at him with dissatisfaction and ridicule.

Zhong Wentao moved his legs, the bottom of his pants slightly rolled up, Qin Mingzhu looked over and coincidentally discovered the 'tattoo' on his leg.

"A person like you can get tattoos?"

Qin Mingzhu was even more disdainful.

His body leaned forward, trying to see the design of the tattoo clearly.

Zhong Wentao did not dodge, it was just a rope pattern, he was already prepared to be mocked.

"Impossible."

Qin Mingzhu said softly, her expression extremely ugly, as though she had seen something extraordinary.

"What's impossible?"

Zhong Wentao did not understand and asked.

Qin Mingzhu immediately stood up and ran towards the study on the first floor, and started searching for something.

Zhong Wentao curiously followed. Watching her actions at the door, he felt that she was a little abnormal because of Qin Haitang's death. Could it be that she had never seen rope before?

Qin Mingzhu ignored them and continued to rummage through the study room without stopping. Her expression turned ugly and she was unable to say a few words.

After searching for a long time, he took out an ancient book that was about to drop from the bottom drawer. It seemed to be very old.

Qin Haiming flipped open the book and started looking through its contents.

Zhong Wentao curiously walked over and squatted down to check it out.

This was an ancient book that recorded many techniques. There were some that he had never seen before that were unique. If someone knew that this item was being treated like this, they would definitely feel that it was a waste.

"Look, over here!"

Qin Mingzhu shouted in pleasant surprise, and found what she was looking for.

Zhong Wentao lowered his head, and indeed, he saw the same mark on it as the one on his leg.

Qin Mingzhu's expression was suddenly a little strange as she faintly spoke, "You've been cursed by someone. You'll die the moment this thing disappears."

"What did you say?"

Zhong Wentao immediately frowned, his expression turning ugly, this kind of news was not good news.

"Hehe, you will die."

Qin Mingzhu only laughed in a strange manner, causing her expression to turn even uglier.

Regardless if it was true or not, this book was definitely real. What good would it do if Qin Mingzhu was lying?

As expected, none of the people in the Vastheaven Sect were good stuff!

Thinking about this, he thought of that strange old man. He must have understood something.

Even after five hundred years, it was still the same for the people from the Vastheaven Sect.

Even though the disciples had been changing generation after generation, the blood that flowed in their bodies was still those black colored blood.

"Indeed, many people hate you."

Qin Mingzhu said as she casually threw the book on the floor, and slowly walked over to the dining hall to eat breakfast.

It was as if Zhong Wentao dying was a joyous thing for her, and even his appetite had improved by a lot.

Picking up the book on the floor, he started from the first page and carefully examined it. All of the records were complete, and just this page that was related to him was indiscernible. It was truly laughable.

Closing his eyes, he tried to recall the contents of the book. After confirming that he had memorized them, he placed the book back on the floor and left the study.

However, what he did not see was that after he left, the book was blown away by the wind outside the window and turned into dust, completely disappearing.

In the dining hall, Qin Mingzhu was happily eating breakfast, as if she had already forgotten about Qin Haitang's death.
