Yu Ning cleared the room of unnecessary people and had Lin Jun turn off all the surveillance cameras.

“Sister-in-law, why do you even have a cat? My brother hates cats—and this cat is so ugly! Just throw it away. I’ll buy you a pedigree one.”

Lin Jun tried to poke the cat’s head, only to get bitten on the finger, causing him to withdraw his hand with a grimace.

“I see you’re not too scared, still having time to say unnecessary things.”

Yu Ning, holding the cat, asked Lin Jun to take her to his room.

The Lin brothers had very different tastes.

The eldest Lin’s floor had a massive gym, reflecting his disciplined lifestyle.

The fifth Lin’s floor had an entire wall covered with his personal photos, clearly showing his narcissism.

“You’re starting to lose hair. Wear high-waisted pants for your next photo shoot.” Yu Ning casually stuck a charm on a spot where hair was thinning as she passed the huge photo.

Lin Jun: .

Lin Jun’s bedroom was smaller than his brother’s and filled with many art pieces, each expensive but collectively resembling a junkyard.

“You brothers have very different tastes.”

The eldest had a tough, minimalist style, while the fifth seemed to have a mismatched, cluttered look.

“My brother is just an old fogey, not as youthful and vibrant as I am—ow! That ugly cat bit me again!”

Lin Jun pointed at the black cat in protest.

“Sister-in-law! It keeps biting me. Aren’t you going to do something?” Lin Jun was extremely aggrieved.

“It’s time to get down to business.”

“???”

Why didn’t she do business when the mischievous cat was biting him? This was clearly playing favorites!

Ignoring Lin Jun’s complaints, Yu Ning took out a compass and wandered around the room, stopping in front of a cabinet.

On the expensive European-style cabinet sat an S-sized cartoon doll.

“A fan gave me that. If you want it, I’ll buy you a similar one, but I can’t give you this one.” Lin Jun thought she fancied the doll.

Finally receiving a gift from a fan, he naturally displayed it in the most prominent place.

“This doll is suspicious.” Yu Ning placed the compass in front of the doll, which began to spin rapidly.

“What kind of principle is that!” Lin Jun was startled.

Yu Ning took the doll down, unzipped it, and used chopsticks to pull out a humanoid yellow paper from the stuffing.

A talisman was drawn on the front, with birth date and eight characters written on the back.

“Holy crap! Who cursed me?”

“This isn’t a curse talisman; it’s a love talisman.”

“Huh?” Lin Jun’s eyes turned into little beans.

“These talismans are common, costing only a few dozen yuan. They have a symbol drawn on the front and the beloved’s birth details on the back. It’s claimed that by secretly placing the talisman near them, they’ll fall in love with you.”

“Is it that exaggerated?”

“No reputable Taoist would draw these. They’re fake talismans sold to deceive girls. There are even online tutorials teaching how to draw them. This one was drawn by that deceased girl herself.”

If a talisman costing just a few dozen yuan could buy love, things would be chaotic. It’s all a scam.

“Sister-in-law, did your cat fart? Why does it smell so bad?” Lin Jun’s nostrils flared as he caught a strange odor.

The black cat, with a more sensitive nose than humans, also appeared disoriented by the stench.

“It’s this talisman. You wouldn’t want to know what it’s drawn with.”

Lin Jun silently stepped back. Indeed, he didn’t want to know.

“This talisman was drawn by the deceased before she died. Although it’s fake, it carries a lot of lingering obsession. I suspect she used menstrual blood to draw it, hoping deeply to be with the person she loved.”

“!!!” What blood? Lin Jun pinched his nose and stepped back again.

“So, am I being secretly admired?”

“Uh…”

Yu Ning looked at the birth details on the talisman. There was something she didn’t know whether to say or not.

The black cat glanced at the talisman. Those details didn’t belong to his silly brother.

Yu Ning calculated with the birth details. The man with these details should have continuous good luck and questionable character.

Obviously, not someone like the kind-hearted, low-tier celebrity Lin Wushao.

“I understand now! Here’s the truth!

I have a fan who is madly in love with me. She found a tutorial online and drew this talisman to win me over.

But unfortunately, she had an accident and died. Even after death, her spirit wants to be with me. Is that it?”

Lin Jun connected the dots and came to this conclusion.

Yu Ning and the black cat were both silent. The smart one had figured it out.

A fan had found a love talisman tutorial online, hoping to use it to win over her favorite star.

By coincidence, the doll ended up with Lin Wushao. After giving him the doll, she had an accident and died.

Her spirit lingered around Lin Wushao because the fake love talisman had her blood. She believed Lin Jun had prevented her from being with her beloved, so she pursued Lin Jun for revenge.

The truth was too cruel for Lin Wushao, so cruel that Yu Ning didn’t know how to explain it to him.

Still immersed in “my fan loves me, even in death,” Lin Jun thought for a moment and made a decision.

“Although I don’t like her methods, she was still a devoted fan. Sister-in-law, please send her away. I’ll cover any costs.”

“Her lingering obsession and unresolved resentment mean she needs to see the person she loved to dispel her obsession and be freed. Otherwise, her obsession will deepen, and she’ll become a harmful spirit.”

“Then I’ll go down the mountain now and let her see me, so she can move on and not harm anyone else.”

The black cat meowed at him angrily, foolish brother, wake up!

She didn’t like him at all!

If he went down the mountain, it would be his death, possibly dragging Yu Ning down too.

“Don’t worry, it’s a small problem. I can handle it.” Yu Ning reassured the anxious black cat with a couple of pats.

The immediate task was to find the person whose birth details were on the talisman and resolve the deceased’s obsession. As she had died recently and hadn’t caused any harm, there was still time.

Yu Ning looked at the birth details on the humanoid yellow paper and calculated.

“A twenty-one-year-old male, with a dark and unscrupulous personality, enjoys torturing small animals—have you worked with anyone like that recently?”

“No, everyone I’ve worked with in the crew has been nice. They all treated me well. How could there be someone so vile?”

Yu Ning remained silent. The world seen by a rich young master was different from that of ordinary people.

Indeed, he could sit beside the director and call him brother. Who wouldn’t give Young Master Lin some face?

“Do you have any group photos with the crew?” She decided to change her approach.

Lin Jun pulled out his phone and showed her group photos from his recent extras work.

Yu Ning flipped through two before stopping at the third.

“Who’s the guy hugging you in this photo?”

“You don’t recognize Han Yu? He’s a superstar, second only to me. Anything he does goes viral.”

“I never read entertainment news, nor do I follow stars.”

“Han Yu is a great guy. He helped me a lot on set. I even saw him feeding stray cats in the rain—wait, sister-in-law, are you saying the twisted, dark person who tortures animals is him?”

“Yes, it’s him.”

No matter how well someone pretends, their face can’t lie.

The one the deceased truly liked was Han Yu.
