Chapter 484: Dr. Paolo


    I suddenly remembered that Ru Xue kept rummaging through her bag when she left. Now, Irealizedthat she was searching for her mobile phone. Perhaps,the mysterious person haddeliberatelyleft his phone behind, and the call history might have beenmade on purpose. He wanted to create a dispute between us!


    Ru Xuewas gone, so we had to put everything aside to find her. Thisgave the ghostplenty of timeto kill Li Mazi.


    There was still one thing that made me wonder. Ever since Li Mazi had joined this Circle, he was my assistant. Hedidnt haveany grudges againstanyone. If we had offended someone inadvertently, the other party shouldhave targetedme. Why did they exert their efforts to kill Li Mazi?


    At thismoment, Li Mazi was worried andfelt very guilty. He lingeredat the hotel entrance, unsure as towhat to do.


    Ru Xue had left for quite a long time. The camera showed that shegot intoa taxi, but wedidntknow where shewent.


    LittleBrother Zhang, do you think Ru Xuewillencounter danger? Li Mazi squatted and lookeddispirited. Ru Xues a pregnant woman. Shewouldntbea threat to anybody. She wouldnt be in danger,right?


    I frowned as Ididnt know how to answer. The other party had tried their best to split us apart. How could theyleaveRu Xuealone?There was nodoubt that Ru Xuewaskidnapped.


    It was like the time Li Mazi and his son were kidnapped.Besideswaiting for the other partys call, we couldnt do anything.


    Moreover, I believed that if theywere able to takeRu Xues phone right under ournoses, they would have to be more than one person. They could bewatchingevery move of ours!


    I believed that they would call us soon. I asked Li Mazi to wait for me outsideasI went to the hotel toilet to call Chuyi. From what I knew,he had returned to HongKong asa rich man had asked him to solve a problem. I hadnt heard from himsince then anddidnt know where he was now. If possible, I hoped he coulde to rescue us.


    I realized that our enemy wasnt the female ghost but the living people hiding in the dark. Theywerelikelypeople from the Longquan Vi!


    After the line connected, Chuyiwentstraightto the matter. Whats the problem?


    This habit of his would neverchange. I sighed andquickly briefed him about the situation. Could youe to Italy to help us?


    With his nature, he would normally agree immediately. However, this time, he kept silent for a while then slowly spoke up. I cane to help you.


    I was bewilderedand recognizedthat his voicewasfeeble. Itsounded like he waswounded. What happened? Are you all right?


    Yeah. Zen MasterBaimeiand I got a case. But were in trouble. It seemsthatthe Longquan Vi is behind this. I chere to help you.


    Take care and be more careful. No need to worry about me here. I know what to do, I said, then hung up the call.


    Chuyi was always frankwithme. If he said he couldnt help us, itmeant he wasin great trouble. Moreover, Zen MasterBaimeiand Chuyis situationsoundedeven more perilous than mine. I was now worried about them.


    I thought about the situation and clenched myteeth. Then, I called Senior Shu. Unexpectedly, that despicable old man wasalso busy. His hideout was exposed, and he was now on the run.Despite being a millionaire, he didnt even have a decent ce to stay in.


    Senior Shuwasnt a righteous person, and he liked to foolhisjuniors. But every time we sought his aide, hewould help us. He didnt need to pretend torefuse to help. I told him to take care, then hung up the call with a discouraged face.


    I now recognized that after so many cases, I had never been parted from the help ofChuyi, Zen MasterBaimei,Senior Shu,ormy grandfather.Sincethey couldnt help me now, Iwas useless!


    With this thought, I suddenlyrealized something. Allof us were in trouble at the same time.Thishad never happened before.


    I hoped that everything was just a coincidence.


    I worriedly went back to the door to wait there with Li Mazi.


    Soon, Ru Xues phone rang. Li Mazi resolutely stood upand snatchedthe phone from me. He epted the cand shoutedcrazily,What do you want? Illdo whatever you want! Dont hurt my Ru Xue!


    The people on the other end of the line kept quiet for a long moment beforethey spokeup. The mans voice was cold.You want me to release her?Thats easy.Juste to the Ghost Castle.Comealone!


    I couldnt helpbut shoutat the phone. Who are you? Why do you want to harmus?


    The other party sneered. Zhang Jiulin, if you dontwant to see the girldie, you shouldnte!Otherwise, theywill bothhave to die! Of course, Li Mazi can choose not toe. Haha!


    Then, hehung up. Li Mazinced at me and askedme to wait in the hotel. He made a turn to the meandering path. I grabbed himand scoffed,Youbastard, you dont want to live anymore? You want to go there to die?


    Li Mazi halted for a moment. He gave me a wry smileand keptwalking away. I was bewildered but didnt stop him.


    His wife and child were kidnapped. It was understandablethat he wanted to go there.


    In the worst case, he would die together with his beloved. I couldnt stop him, so I had to follow himfrom adistance.


    Lu Dongbin had wounded the ghost, so the thickyer of fog outside the Ghost Castle was much thinner. Under the pale moonlight, we could see the rows of seats facing the door.We couldnt see anything beyondthat.


    Take care of Li Meng and Ru Xue for me, saidLi Mazi. Hedidntlook back and enteredthe church.


    It was hisway of tellingme to stop following him.There was noneed to imagineit. Awaitingus inside was the female ghost and even our enemy. If I went with him, I would bekilled too.


    Anyway, I was certain that the enemy wasnt afraid of me.Such being the case, whydidn''t theywant me to enter the church?


    I couldnt figure it out. However,atthis moment, I wasnt the one whowas in control ofthe situation. If Li Mazi couldnt return, my only hope was that the enemy would keep their words and release Ru Xue.


    I would bring her and Yin Xinyue back to Chinaandhide themsomewhere. Then, I would tryall means to find these people and take revenge for Li Mazi! I would destroy everything that belonged to them, including their families! I swore I would never leave anyone alive!


    Just in case, Iheaded backto the hotel. I needed toask Yin Xinyue to leave first. Ifsomething happened to her, Iwouldnt even be able totake care of Li Mazis funeral!


    On the way back, I saw twopeoplewalkingtoward me. They wereMarcoand Dr.Paolo. Dr.Paolohad a wooden scepter in his hand. When hesawme, he exhaledand asked, Whats going on in there?


    WhenMarcosaw me and Li Mazi worriedlyleavethe hotel, he realized that we were in trouble. He hurried to bring his father here. From the surveince camera, they knew we had departed to the Ghost Castle. Thatwaswhy they hurried toe and help us.


    After listeningto him, I was so touched that I couldnt even utter a word. I could only give a deep bowandtoldthem about the mysterious person.


    Dr.Paolughed.He pointedat the haunted churchandsaid boldly, In this old castle,no one has the right to speakexcept forme!


    Then, he carried his scepterand tookthe lead. He enteredthe church.Marcofollowed his fatherand gaveme an OK gesture tofort me. I gave him a thumbs-up, feeling a little better.


    SincePaoloand his son, two experts in the field,were here to deal with thosepeople,there was no need for me to be afraid.


    Paolowalked into the church resolutely. I followed after him. Soon, I saw Ru Xue tiedto thebench and Li Mazi on the ground. Three people wearing ck clothesstoodby them. Although theyworeckveilsthat concealedtheir faces, they couldnt hide theirAsianfacial features.


    I looked around. The female ghost was nowhere to be seen. I guessed that since Li Mazi was in their hands,thesepeople didnt need to use the ghost.


    Theyhad seen us as soon as we stepped intothechurch. However, they didnt stop usnor did theysay anything. Right from the start, their eyes were fixed on the scepter in Dr.Paolos hand!
