" No, No, Haito…my poor Haito!" Wu Jin couldn't withstand the crushing blow. He covered his face and started crying, Song Yan didn't say anything anymore, if Wu Genji was half as human as her brother, she would have given Wu Jin false hope at least but she has seen the selfishness of that woman, she cared only about herself and no one else, if she wasn't scared of attracting unwanted attention to herself, Song Yan was sure that Wu Genji would have let the demon feast on the Wu family by now.
Song Yan didn't say anything and in the study room except for Wu Jin's cry no other sounds echoed, she did not know how long Wu Jin grieved for his nephew but when he raised his head, Wu Jin's eyes had this maniacal glint in them that almost scared her.
" Who?" He asked raising his head and looking straight at her. " Who is the one behind this?"
"As I said, you wouldn't believe me even if I tell you," she was speaking the truth, no matter how strong and rational Wu Jin was, he would not be able to accept losing two family members at once.
" That's not for you to decide!" Wu Jin was so agitated that he wanted to shake the answer out of Song Yan, at this moment he was no longer the proud and calm rational chief of the police department, he was a grief-stricken uncle who lost his little nephew.
Song Yan frowned, seeing that Wu Jin was getting agitated she hurriedly turned her head and took out a silencing talisman from her ring and threw it at the door, only then did she turn her head and look at Wu Jin with a calm expression as she said, " That village where your sister stayed while she was recuperating, did you ever visit and see what was happening there?"
Wu Jin could not understand why Song Yan was suddenly bringing Wu Genji up all of a sudden. But then the very faint and completely absurd thought from earlier once again rose in his head.
If he wasn't wrong then when they all went to look for Wu Genji when she was lost in that mountain, many villagers claimed that she went inside the tomb that was suddenly discovered there and after that one by one many villagers vanished, to the point where the villagers asked their family to take Wu Genji away, saying that something was wrong with her.
Remembering that time correctly, Wu Jin realised that neither of the villagers was found, they all vanished into thin air just like the children!
Back then he was like his elder brothers, he didn't believe in supernatural stuff either and thus when the villagers told him that there was something weird about Wu Genji he turned a deaf ear to their complaints after all she was his sister and there was no such thing as demon or ghosts, but now that he has faced something strange and saw the supernatural with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be slightly alarmed.
Wu Genji harmed over fifty villagers and then she came back to the city where she kept on harming the children one after another, it was impossible for her to leave traces behind, even though these traces cannot be traced back to her they were left behind in her wake.
" I bet when she returned something similar started happening to your family's servants and their children as well, am I right?" She has noticed it before, the servants in the Wu family were bare minimum, in fact the ones who were working there also seemed to be the ones who leave after finishing their jobs, unlike the Fu family where the servants stayed alert all around the clock, they would change shifts but a few servants would always be present no matter what hour of the day or night it was but the same could not be said for the Wu family.
Except for the housekeeping lady, the butler and the chefs, she hasn't seen anyone when she was looking around the house earlier, it was clear as a day why a family like Wu wouldn't have many servants.
Wu Jin was startled awake by what Song Yan said because there was indeed a case like this. When Wu Genji returned home, one by one the young maids started vanishing, first, it was them and then slowly it moved on to the young workers, even maids who were expecting a child went missing. But every time something like that happened, something rather expensive would be missing from their house, and that was why they all thought that the servants ran away after stealing from them.
His father reduced the number of workers in their house but after a while the number of young people volunteering to work in their house reduced, later on, they found out that there was a rumour going around the agency from where they hired the workers. The workers who quit working in their house for no reason all of a sudden, they all said that they have seen a monster roaming in the Wu house.
His elder brother Wu Qinfan was furious upon finding out about these rumours he threatened the agency to shut those workers down or else they will have to face him, the agency did shut down the rumours after a short while but no new worker ever agreed to work in their house ever again.
