Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?

"Yes, who is she? How do you know her?" Taozi walked up from the side and said enthusiastically.

Shen Siyuan tapped Taozi's head with the envelope in his hand.

Then he handed it over to Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Haven't you seen her too?"

"Have I seen her?"

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out to take the letter, feeling very puzzled.

"Yes, that day in the backyard."

Shen Siyuan mentioned casually, then turned around and went to the backyard.

Xiao Yue was sitting in the small courtyard hallway, flipping through a book in her hand.

"Xiao Yue."

"What's up?"

Xiao Yue closed the book and turned to look at Shen Siyuan.

This little girl was always silent, with a very low presence.

"Do you know where Dou Dou and Duoduo went?" Shen Siyuan asked.

"They should still be in the neighborhood, they said they were going to explore the rainforest."

Ever since Shen Siyuan went out for cultivation and stayed with them in the forest for a period, Dou Dou and Duoduo fell in love with adventure.

The magical nature always gave them endless surprises.

"Go find them, I have something to arrange for you all to do." Shen Siyuan said.

Xiao Yue stood up and asked, "What thing, is it troublesome?"

"It's not too troublesome."

"Then let me go alone, let Dou Dou and Duoduo continue playing." Xiao Yue said.

Shen Siyuan was stunned for a moment by her words, then reached out and patted her head saying, "Xiao Yue is such a gentle sister."

Hearing this, Xiao Yue immediately looked away and said shyly, "No way, Dou Dou is actually afraid of me."

"Haha, that's because she's too naughty and needs someone to discipline her. You are a qualified sister." Shen Siyuan said.

"Brother, just tell me what the matter is." Xiao Yue felt a little embarrassed to continue talking on this topic.

Upon hearing that, Shen Siyuan's heart moved, he pinched the dharma seal with his fingers, and released Lan Xinyi from the Ten Thousand Soul Banner.

Lan Xinyi, who was playing with Xu Shilong of similar age in the Creation World, was suddenly summoned out and froze for a moment.

"Banner Master brother." Lan Xinyi saw Shen Siyuan and immediately showed a happy smile.

Earlier she called Shen Siyuan Banner Master, now she added a more intimate term, brother, obviously learning it from others in the Creation World.

Shen Siyuan nodded to her and then asked, "Do you know how to find your mother?"

"Isn't she at home?" Lan Xinyi said, looking towards building 26.

"She's not there now."

"Then she must have gone back to her hometown, or went to Grandma's house." Lan Xinyi said.

"Do you know the way?"

Lan Xinyi first nodded, then shook her head.

"I don't remember clearly, but I can fly now, I can fly in the sky to look."

"That's good, Xiao Yue, go with her to find her mother, when you find her don't reveal your presence, just follow her..."

Shen Siyuan advised Xiao Yue then waved to let them leave.

They rode the Yin Wind, circled in the sky above the garden for a while, then sped off in one direction.

Just then, Tang Tang suddenly rushed out from inside the house.

She stared wide-eyed in amazement, pointing at the sky in disbelief at Shen Siyuan, "Oh~ Oh..."

She was so excited she forgot how to speak?

Shen Siyuan reached out to pat her little head, saying with some amusement, "Alright, don't be so excited, this shouldn't be your first time seeing this, right?"

"Dou Dou swoosh~, Duoduo swoosh~"

Tang Tang said, making a gesture of a giant bird spreading wings, then squatted slightly and jumped upward, landing back on the ground.

Then she pouted, tears welling up, looking like she was about to cry.

Shen Siyuan laughed a bit as he picked her up.

"You're human, how could you fly."

Tang Tang clutched her little bottom and said pitifully, "It hurt."

"If you know it hurts, don't do silly things next time."

Shen Siyuan held her with one arm, the little one clinging to his arm like a koala.

At this time, Ruan Hongzhuang came over with the letter in hand.

-----------------

Professor Meng withdrew eighty thousand yuan from the bank, feeling immensely emotional.

Ten years ago, if he had eighty thousand, he wouldn't have done what he did.

Over the years, he tried all sorts of ways to earn extra money out of fear because of what happened back then.

Without money, he felt extremely uneasy.

He brought the money home, and stayed by the phone without daring to leave even for a moment.

From noon until night, Professor Meng appeared extremely anxious.

However, Officer Ye, who was watching outside, seemed very calm, not only buying a pack of takoyaki nearby but also drinking a bottle of beverage.

The only inconvenience was using the bathroom, but he managed with the beverage bottle.

Monitoring alone has this disadvantage, you can't leave for a moment or get distracted, or the target might escape surveillance, rendering all efforts in vain.

Until sunset when only the last trace of twilight remained, Professor Meng's phone finally rang again.

Professor Meng hurriedly picked up the phone, nearly dropping it due to excitement, his heart pounding.

"Hello, I have withdrawn the money, eighty thousand, all for you, I'll give it to you now, please release Little Shi, let her go..." Professor Meng almost begged.

"Did you call the police?" Bai Yulan asked calmly over the phone.

"No, no, I definitely didn't..." Professor Meng hurriedly replied.

"It doesn't matter if you did. Honestly, I don't care." Bai Yulan said in a flat voice.

Professor Meng grew more panicked, when someone fears nothing, they are capable of anything.

"No, I assure you, as long as you don't harm Little Shi, I will do whatever you demand." Professor Meng pleaded.

"Tomorrow morning at ten, bring the money to Half Moon Bridge in Changhe Park."

After finishing her words, Bai Yulan was about to hang up, but Professor Meng quickly said, "Wait, let me hear Little Shi's voice, you need to assure me she's okay."

"Are you bargaining with me?"

"No, no, I just... just..." Professor Meng didn't know how to phrase it without angering Bai Yulan.

But just then, Little Shi's voice came through the handset.

"Grandpa, Grandma got me KFC, and..."

Little Shi's words were cut off as the call abruptly ended.

"Little Shi... Little Shi..."

Professor Meng called a few times frantically, and only after confirming repeatedly that it had really ended, did he reluctantly put down the phone.

However, from the brief call just now, Little Shi hadn't been harmed; otherwise, her tone wouldn't have been so cheerful.

Thinking of Bai Yulan, Professor Meng's expression turned extremely complicated, having been neighbors for years, he knew well Bai Yulan was a kind woman. Back then, without any choice, he never would have kidnapped Lan Xinyi, causing her immense harm.

Precisely because of this kindness, Professor Meng felt somewhat lucky and chose not to call the police immediately.
