Chapter 204 Evil Spell Backlash! Madam Jia Zhang kneels and begs for mercy, Lin Fan angrily subdues
The story of Xu Damao being bitten by a dog while stealing a chicken spread like wildfire throughout the neighboring yard.
For a moment, everyone quieted down.
They never dared to harbor any ill intentions towards Lin Fan's courtyard again.
The entire courtyard house finally returned to true peace.
Lin Fan was happy to have some free time.
Aside from signing in every day, he would lie in a rocking chair, leisurely sipping tea, reading newspapers, and teasing Cerberus.
He felt that this was the retirement life he had always dreamed of.
However, this hard-won peace did not last long.
The day after Xu Damao was bitten by the dog, Lin Fan suddenly sensed an unusual aura emanating from the neighboring yard.
The atmosphere was cold and gloomy, like a persistent dark cloud, completely out of place with the vibrant life in his courtyard.
Like a maggot clinging to a bone, it tried to infiltrate the courtyard and absorb the vitality and spirit he had painstakingly created.
Lin Fan's slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, his pupils deep and unfathomable.
He knew that this aura was definitely not benevolent.
He closed his eyes and carefully sensed it.
A chilling aura emanated from Jia Zhangshi's room.
Lin Fan felt slightly annoyed.
What kind of trick is this Jia Zhangshi up to now?
He had no intention of paying attention to it.
He can tolerate it as long as it doesn't affect him.
However, this aura did not dissipate; instead, it grew stronger and more eerie.
It relentlessly erodes the vitality of the courtyard, as if trying to drag this lush land into a swamp.
The leisurely air on Lin Fan's face vanished, replaced by a cold and stern expression.
This time, he could no longer tolerate it.
He abruptly stood up from the rocking chair and walked straight to the door.
His gaze swept across the neighboring courtyard, his tone calm, yet each word as firm as a mountain, brooking no argument: "Jia Zhangshi, you come out here!"
Lin Fan's voice was not loud.
But like a thunderbolt, it suddenly shattered the silence of the neighboring courtyard.
Everyone in the courtyard trembled violently at the shout.
They all looked towards Lin Fan's courtyard, their faces filled with fear.
The chilling atmosphere in Jia Zhangshi's room instantly dissipated.
Jia Zhangshi shuddered suddenly, almost dropping her work.
She ran out of the house in a panic.
When she saw Lin Fan standing at the door, his expression cold and his eyes showing a hint of impatience, Jia Zhangshi's face turned pale instantly, her legs went weak, and she almost couldn't stand up.
She knew that Mr. Lin was angry.
"Mr. Lin... what are your instructions?" Jia Zhangshi asked, her voice trembling.
Lin Fan looked at her coldly, his tone calm, yet every word carried an undeniable authority: "What are you up to in your room?"
When Lin Fan asked Jia Zhangshi a question, she was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder were shattered.
She knew that Mr. Lin must have noticed something.
She shook her head frantically, her voice trembling, "No...nothing! I didn't do anything!"
Lin Fan scoffed, "Nothing much? Do you think I'm blind or deaf?"
"I'll say it again, what the hell is going on in your house?"
Jia Zhangshi was completely panicked.
She knew that this time she was completely finished.
Her legs went weak, and she collapsed to her knees with a thud, wailing, "Mr. Lin, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I... I just wanted to get a good luck charm for Bang Geng, I didn't expect it to cause such a commotion!"
Lin Fan sneered, "A talisman? Do you think I'm stupid?"
"That cold, eerie atmosphere in your room isn't some kind of amulet at all!"
"I'll ask you one more time, what the hell is going on in your house?"
When Lin Fan pressed Jia Zhangshi for answers, she was so frightened that she almost lost her mind.
She knew that Mr. Lin would not let this go.
She confessed again, sobbing, "Mr. Lin, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I... I just believed what a wandering Taoist priest said. He said that as long as I wrote Bang Geng's birth date and time on a piece of yellow paper and soaked it in black dog's blood for forty-nine days, I could get Bang Geng a peace talisman to protect him for life!"
"I...I really didn't know it would cause such a commotion!"
As Lin Fan listened to Jia Zhangshi's foolish behavior, a deep sense of disgust welled up in his heart.
He despised those ignorant and self-important fellows the most.
He scoffed, "Black dog blood? How did you even come up with that?"
"Do you realize you're raising evil spirits? You're harming yourself and others!"
Lin Fan's tone was calm, yet it contained a powerful sense of pressure.
Jia Zhangshi was stunned by him; her face turned pale, and her legs trembled even more violently.
She knew that Mr. Lin was not lying to her.
She has truly harmed herself and others this time.
Lin Fan's icy gaze swept over Jia Zhangshi: "I'll say it again, clean up all those things in the house right now!"
"Otherwise, I'll throw your whole family out to feed the dogs!"
Jia Zhangshi was terrified by Lin Fan's threat.
She had witnessed Xu Damao's miserable state firsthand and knew that Mr. Lin was not joking.
She nodded vigorously, "Yes, Mr. Lin! I'll go clean it right away!"
Lin Fan withdrew his imposing aura.
Jia Zhangshi collapsed to the ground, her chest heaving violently, her clothes soaked with cold sweat.
She scrambled into the house and frantically began cleaning up the "evil spirits."
Lin Fan coldly glanced at the crowd in the neighboring courtyard: "You lot, you better behave yourselves from now on!"
"If you dare to do anything underhanded in my house again, I'll throw you all out to feed the dogs!"
The people in the neighboring courtyard were terrified when Lin Fan shouted at them, their faces turning pale.
They knew that Mr. Lin was a man of his word.
They quickly nodded and bowed, indicating that they would never dare to do it again.
Lin Fan watched their retreating figures, his eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of impatience appearing on his face.
He felt that these people were a constant source of trouble.
He sighed softly and lay back down in the rocking chair.
He knew that the inherent flaws in these people would not easily disappear.
But he was too lazy to pay them any attention.
He believed that as long as he was strong enough, he could keep all the troubles out.
He closed his eyes and continued to enjoy this rare moment of peace.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring courtyard, Jia Zhangshi was filled with fear and regret.
She never imagined that simply wanting to ask Bang Geng for a good luck charm would cause such a big problem.
She secretly vowed that she would never dare to do such crooked things again.
