"Qin Xuan, take this suit with you."
Tantai Yue ran downstairs holding a set of clothes.
Qin Xuan saw that in her hands was the same suit she had given him last time. He had only worn it once.
This suit cost hundreds of thousands, and since it was from Tantai, he was naturally reluctant to wear it.
"Tantai, it's just a short trip, not a blind date. Why dress so formally?" Qin Xuan said.
Tantai Yue rolled her eyes at him and said irritably,
"Blind date? How did you become so indecent?"
Qin Xuan scratched the back of his head and chuckled,
"Heh heh, Tantai, don't be angry. I was just kidding. There's really no need to bring this suit."
"Why not?" Tantai Yue explained earnestly,
"I know a bit about the stone gambling auction you're attending. It's for people of status. It wouldn't be proper if you don't dress well."
Qin Xuan glanced at his clothes and then smiled,
"Tantai, actually, this jacket of mine is very expensive. It's made by a world-famous tailor. You couldn't buy it even with millions."
Tantai Yue didn't believe his nonsense and said angrily,
"You boast without shame. Millions? You've been wearing this jacket since I met you three years ago, and it's so old, yet you won't throw it away. Did a past lover give it to you?"
"Tantai, you're truly wronging me!" Qin Xuan quickly explained,
"I'm just a scrap collector. What girl would be interested in me?"
"Am I not a person either!" Tantai Yue said with a pout.
This idiot, he can't even speak properly.
Qin Xuan smiled awkwardly,
"Heh heh, it's because I did countless good deeds in my past lives to have the fortune of meeting you in this one."
"Sweet talker." Tantai Yue felt incredibly sweet inside, as if she had eaten honey. She quickly stuffed the suit into Qin Xuan's hand and turned to go upstairs,
"Hurry up and go, I don't want to see you anymore."
"Tantai, wait for me. I'll bring you back a gift!" Qin Xuan chuckled foolishly, then turned and walked out the door.
Outside the villa, leaning against the hood of a deep blue Ferrari was a sexy woman wearing sunglasses and a blue long dress.
Seeing Qin Xuan come out, the woman said with a hint of dissatisfaction,
"Oh, Young Master Qin, you've finally decided to come out. You're the first man who's made me wait for a good fifteen minutes."
Qin Xuan apologized with a smile,
"I'm sorry, I was delayed by something."
Wang Yuyan said with a half-smile,
"Yes, after all, you have to endure several days before we meet again. Taking advantage of this morning time to take care of some business, I understand, I understand."
"It's not what you think..."
Qin Xuan was about to explain, but Wang Yuyan couldn't be bothered to listen. She got into the car and beckoned to Qin Xuan,
"Let's go, Dongyong City isn't far. We'll drive ourselves."
Qin Xuan had no choice but to nod and get into the car. A natural fragrance filled the car, similar to Wang Yuyan's scent.
However, Qin Xuan's brows suddenly furrowed as his gaze fell upon a small doll hanging in the car.
Seeing Qin Xuan looking around the car, Wang Yuyan pouted and said,
"Don't look. It's not as good as the car your grandfather gave you. This car is only a few million. If it weren't my father's birthday present, I would have replaced it long ago."
"Uh... you misunderstood," Qin Xuan said, pointing to the small doll,
"Did you hang this here yourself?"
Wang Yuyan glanced at the small doll and said,
"A young master from Jiangbei gave it to me. I didn't want it at first, but he said if I kept this little doll, he wouldn't bother me anymore. So I took it. Later, I thought it looked quite nice, so I hung it in the car."
Seeing Qin Xuan looking thoughtful, Wang Yuyan couldn't help but ask,
"What's wrong?"
Qin Xuan confirmed he hadn't misidentified it and then said,
"How long have you had this doll hanging here?"
Wang Yuyan blinked and thought for a moment before saying,
"About two months, I think."
Qin Xuan then asked,
"Have you felt anything abnormal in the past two months?"
"Abnormal?" Wang Yuyan looked puzzled, not understanding why he was asking. But she still answered truthfully,
"I don't think so."
"Are you sure?" Qin Xuan pressed again,
"Are your dreams at night also normal?"
Hearing this, a look of shock and panic immediately appeared on Wang Yuyan's face.
Qin Xuan continued,
"I've discovered something bad. Don't hide it from me, I'm trying to help you."
Looking at Qin Xuan's serious expression, a trace of anxiety appeared on Wang Yuyan's pretty cheeks,
"I don't know what's going on these past two months. I always have some... dreams at night." Saying this, Wang Yuyan's face flushed slightly, but she still gritted her teeth and said,
"I often have some erotic dreams, and for some reason, I'm very lucid in my dreams, and it feels very real. I went to the hospital, but they couldn't find anything. The doctor said I was just stressed from work and prescribed some sleeping pills, but they didn't help."
Wang Yuyan also felt a little embarrassed after she finished speaking.
She was actually telling such private matters to someone else. It was so embarrassing.
After listening to Wang Yuyan, Qin Xuan thought for a moment and then asked,
"Is the man in your dreams the one who gave you the doll?"
"How did you know!" Wang Yuyan exclaimed and quickly explained,
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not interested in that dissolute young man. I just don't know why I always dream of him."
Qin Xuan had basically figured it out.
This was likely Gu technique.
And it was the lowest tier of Gu technique, the Nightmare Gu.
The practitioner could freely enter the dreams of the afflicted.
In dreams, they could control the afflicted person, who could not resist, allowing the practitioner to indulge as they pleased.
Wang Yuyan had held back earlier due to embarrassment, not elaborating on how she was tormented by that man in her dreams.
But Qin Xuan didn't need her to say it; he could guess.
Qin Xuan took down the doll hanging in the car. He fumbled through the doll's clothes and found a strand of hair and a fingernail clipping.
"See if this is your hair," Qin Xuan handed the hair to Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan looked at it. It was brown hair. Both its length and color were exactly the same as hers. Wang Yuyan immediately concluded,
"This is mine."
Qin Xuan then handed the fingernail clipping to Wang Yuyan and said,
"This is likely the fingernail clipping of the man in your dreams. This doll is probably a 'Voodoo Doll', and you've contracted a Gu technique called 'Nightmare Gu', which allows him to enter your dreams freely and do as he pleases through this doll."
Wang Yuyan never expected that this was all because of such a broken cloth doll. She had naively thought it was just a decoration, but it turned out to be such an evil thing!
"Throw it away quickly!" Wang Yuyan, full of anger, snatched the doll from Qin Xuan's hand and was about to throw it out the car window.
