Chapter 438: Chapter 437: There’s a Feeling That Something Big Is Going to Happen

Luo Ning saw that Lu Siyi was smart and rational.

She nodded, "You’re right, the problem does indeed lie with your boyfriend."

Lu Siyi furrowed her brows, "Aunt, how did he steal my Luck?"

She was the strong, independent type, spending most of her time and energy on work and disliking domineering men.

Two months ago, she accidentally rear-ended a car and met the owner.

He was the clingy, puppy-dog kind, not overbearing and quite behaved, which suited her perfectly.

After he expressed his feelings for her, she agreed to date him and even let him move into her apartment.

He was adept at cooking and housework, caring for her meticulously and thoughtfully after her work, gradually winning her heart.

She had been prepared, if things continued to go well, to bring him home and marry him next year, seeing as her parents were constantly pressuring her to wed.

But she never expected that his approach had an ulterior motive.

It was a good thing they hadn’t been together long and her feelings for the man were limited; otherwise, it really would have broken her heart.

Now, even though she was upset, it was still within the bounds of logical processing.

Luo Ning raised her hand and pointed to the beautiful red crystal necklace hanging around Lu Siyi’s neck, "He gave you this, didn’t he?"

Lu Siyi realized Luo Ning was indeed formidable, "Yes, after we made our relationship official, he gave it to me."

Since his financial situation was limited, he could only afford to give her a crystal necklace instead of diamonds or jade, but she liked it very much and wore it all the time.

She took off the red crystal necklace and handed it to Luo Ning, "Please have a look, Aunt."

Luo Ning instructed Lu Xun, "Bring a mirror over here and fill a basin with water."

Lu Xun nodded and directed the butler to do so.

Soon, the butler brought the items.

Luo Ning took out her talisman pen from her bag, drew some talismans on the red crystal, then threw the necklace into the basin.

She also drew some similar talismans on the edges of the mirror.

This was the first time the Lu Family had witnessed such a scene, and they all watched intently.

After a moment, Luo Ning shined the mirror onto the basin and said, "Look at the mirror, the contents of the red crystal will soon reveal themselves."

Just as she finished speaking, everyone saw the scene in the mirror change.

The red crystal appeared as if it had been peeled back, revealing its contents completely.

Everyone saw numerous thin red worms wriggling inside it, creating a feeling of repulsion and goosebumps.

Lu Siyi, seeing the contents of the red crystal, particularly remembering she had worn this thing for over a month, felt a surge of nausea.

Luo Ning told Lu Siyi the truth, "That man was using these worms in the red crystal as a medium to steal your Luck."

Lu Siyi looked away from the mirror, "Aunt, is there a way to fix this?"

She really liked her current career and didn’t want to give it up because of stolen Luck.

At the same time, she felt a surge of anger, never expecting to be schemed against by a man.

It seemed his obedient puppy-dog act was just a facade, behind which he was ruthless.

Luo Ning replied, "As long as you destroy this crystal, your Luck won’t leak away anymore."

She added, "If you use a spell to rebound the curse back on him, you can reclaim the Luck he stole from you."

Eldest Sister-in-law Lu anxiously asked, "Xiao Luo, could you use such Magic to rebound it?"

She hadn’t anticipated her daughter would be manipulated by a man, feeling worried and furious.

She also reflected, wondering if their recent pressure on their daughter to marry had caused her to hastily choose a boyfriend.

Luo Ning replied, "Yes, I can."

Eldest Sister-in-law Lu then asked, "Could you help us then?"

Luo Ning smiled, "Since I’ve identified the problem, I will take care of it."

The people of the main branch of the Lu Family were very grateful. "We really appreciate it, Xiao Luo."

Although Luo Ning had said before that stolen Luck wouldn’t lead to death, Lu Siyi was still unlucky, a situation her family did not want to see happen.

Luo Ning smiled again, "No need to be polite."

The Lu Family was a top-tier wealthy household. Her own family background wasn’t impressive, and she was a star, but from the moment she entered the house, the Lu Family people had been polite and respectful, without showing any contempt or displeasure.

The Lu Family had an upright and honest reputation, and she liked the people there.

After putting things away, everyone had a harmonious dinner together.

Then Luo Ning followed Lu Xun to the building where the main branch resided.

The Lu Family Mansion covered a vast area, with each branch having a separate small building. When coming home for a gathering, they usually stayed one night.

Lu Xun also had a building of his own, but since he had not started a family yet, he stayed with the patriarch instead.

Lu Siyi’s Luck had already been stolen substantially. If it continued, she feared the Luck might be utilized by someone else, so Luo Ning was no longer afraid of alerting their adversary.

She helped break the spell, while Lu Xun personally led people from a special department to catch the man.

Only after receiving the news that Lu Xu had successfully captured the perpetrator, did Luo Ning perform the final step.

She burnt all the intermediary bugs inside the Red Crystal and drew a Rebound Curse, causing the Red Crystal to shatter into pieces by her own hand.

After finishing, Luo Ning said to Lu Siyi, "It’s done, your Luck will gradually recover, and it should be back to normal in about a week."

Lu Siyi’s face was full of gratitude, "Thank you, little aunt."

Since Luo Ning was Lu Xun’s girlfriend, the people from the main branch of the Lu Family didn’t offer money as a reward for breaking the curse - that would have been too impersonal.

They planned to ask Lu Xun privately about a suitable way to express their gratitude.

Luo Ning smiled and waved her hand, "It’s just a small deed, no need to be polite."

As it was getting late, Luo Ning didn’t stay much longer and had Lu Xun take her home when he returned.

On the road.

Luo Ning said to Lu Xun, "Gather all the people whose Luck has been stolen at some point to break the curse."

Lu Xun nodded, "I was thinking the same. We need to play the long game, but we can’t delay dealing with these people’s stolen Luck."

"Once the Array is broken, we’ll solve their problems too."

Luo Ning, touching her chin, mused, "What exactly is the force behind all this trying to accomplish? Why do I get the feeling they’re planning something big?"

Not only did they set up so many Luck Absorption Arrays, but they also produced so many people to steal Luck.

And what do they want with so much stolen Luck? That remains the biggest question.

Lu Xun was uncertain of their intentions as well, "That’s why we need to investigate thoroughly."

He always felt that those people continuously making big moves had a significant motive behind them.

Luo Ning reminded, "Keep a close eye on the Gufengshui Family too."

It seemed like the Gufengshui Family was staying out of it, but whether they were in league with that force or had a hand in it was still unclear.

Lu Xun nodded, "Yes, I’ve already had people watching them."

"By the way, I’ve also made some mini drones to track them."

Luo Ning chuckled lightly, "That’s good. Drones don’t have human Qi, making them harder to detect."

She knew how to make drones from her time in a Little World, learning from Lu Xun himself as his drone technology was even better.
