This news was like a bolt from the blue for Jiang Yuchu. She had only been away for a few days, so how could Tao Runyan die?

Jiang Yuechu bought a ticket and rushed back overnight. Sister Li came to the station to pick her up.

"Sister Li, what happened? Why did Tao Runyan die?"

Sister Li had been working through the night for several days and her face looked extremely bad. She helped move the suitcases to the trunk and got into the driver's seat before speaking, "It's about what happened yesterday."

Sister Li glanced at Jiang Yuechu and said, "Yuchu, during the few days you were gone, President Tao was looking for you like crazy. No one knew where you went. President Tao almost turned the whole city upside down to look for you."

As she spoke, Sister Li took out her cell phone from her bag and threw it into Jiang Yuchu's arms while waiting for the red light.

"See for yourself."

Jiang Yuchu took the phone and scrolled through a few pages of web pages. She noticed some relevant information about Tao Runyan. Most of it was about the turmoil caused by Tao Runyan looking for her.

Some netizens even speculated that Tao Runyan was related to Song Yitan.

In short, there is anything to say.

Looking down further, Jiang Yuechu noticed a hot search.

It is a hot search about Tao Runyan’s death.

It’s even on the trending searches, and there are photos and stuff, so is his death true?

Jiang Yuechu suppressed her inner emotions and put her phone back in its place. "Let's go over and see what's going on first."

Sister Li didn't say much. She knew that Jiang Yuchu was not in a good mood right now. Besides, she was sick, so it was best to say less.

After driving for nearly an hour, the car stopped at the gate of the Tao family villa.

There were two rows of bodyguards in black suits standing at the door, and many luxury cars were parked at the door, making Sister Li and her friends' car look cheap and weak.

Sister Li glanced at Jiang Yuechu and said, "I guess it's not easy to get in now. Once the news of Mr. Tao's death is released, the door of the Tao family will be broken down by people."

Jiang Yuchu could see it without Sister Li telling her.

It's just that she has something that others don't have.

Jiang Yuechu walked slowly towards the bodyguard, rolled up his sleeves, revealing a valuable jade bracelet on his wrist. The metal bar in the middle of the bracelet was printed with the Tao family's emblem.

The bodyguard originally wanted to stop the person outside, but after seeing the mark, he tactfully made way, "Please."

Sister Li followed behind Jiang Yuechu with her eyes wide open, afraid that someone would hear her, so she lowered her voice to the lowest possible level, "Oh my God, what did you show him to let you in? Many people who wanted to go in before were stopped at the door."

"nothing."

Jiang Yuechu didn't know that the jade bracelet had the Tao family's mark before, and she only discovered it by accident. She had always wanted to return it but never found the chance. This time it came in handy.

There were many items for worship placed in the Tao family's yard. When I entered the living room, Tao's parents were there, and even the side branches were present. An old man in a Taoist robe was sitting on the sofa in the living room.

He has silver hair and a well-trimmed beard hanging on his fingertips. His eyes are closed, as if he is resting.

Tao's mother saw Jiang Yuechu at a glance, and she came forward with red eyes, took her hand and comforted her: "Yuechu, don't be too sad, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Seeing the look on Tao's mother's face, Jiang Yuechu determined that Tao Runyan's death was not fake.

All at once, a variety of emotions flooded my mind.

"Auntie."

After opening his mouth, Jiang Yuechu realized that his voice was choked and unpleasant. He cleared his throat and said, "Can I go see him?"

"It's upstairs. Go ahead."

Under the current circumstances, no one would be able to stop Jiang Yuchu from going upstairs.

The old man sitting on the sofa noticed something strange when someone came in. He slowly opened his eyes and glanced at the young woman going upstairs. When he saw the person going upstairs, he stood up with a hunched back.

"There is a procedure that has not been completed just now. I will go upstairs to check it out."

Mr. Tao nodded respectfully, "Sir, please help yourself."

On the second floor, Jiang Yuechu stood at the door of Tao Runyan's room, hesitating again and again. She raised her hand several times but couldn't make up her mind to open the door. She took a deep breath, put her hand on the doorknob and turned it.

The room was all white, and Tao Runyan, dressed neatly, was lying lifeless on the big bed.

Jiang Yuechu felt the deathly aura coming from the room, which was the aura that only dead people could have.

In an instant, Jiang Yuechu's eyes turned red. She walked slowly to the bedside, stretched out her hand and tentatively touched Tao Runyan's hand. It was cold, and he was already dead.

"Why, how could this happen?"

"When yin and yang collide, it would be abnormal if no one died."

An old voice sounded at the door. Jiang Yuechu looked up and saw that the person was the old man who was sitting in the living room downstairs.

"What do you mean, old man?"

The old man walked into the room with a shaky step, and suddenly a yellow talisman appeared from his fingertips and pasted it on the door.

The room was suddenly covered with a thin layer of mist. Jiang Yuechu looked at the changes and knew that the old man in front of her was more capable than her.

"Old man, do you have something to say to me?"

The old man nodded, looked Jiang Yuechu up and down, his gaze fell on her eyes, and a hint of "so that's it" flashed in his eyes.

"No wonder, that's how it is."

"What does the old man mean?"

As far as Jiang Yuchu could remember, he had never seen this old gentleman before.

The old man sighed and said, "You have never seen me. Your grandmother and I were good friends. After your grandmother passed away, I lived in seclusion in the mountains and never came out again."

"My grandmother?"

Jiang Yuechu looked at the old man in surprise, "Do you know my grandmother?"

"Well, the Black and White Impermanence in the underworld have been searching for the heir of the sash for many years. I tried my best to hide your presence, but I didn't expect that they would still find you."

Ribbon man!

Jiang Yuechu's eyes suddenly lit up, "Old man, do you know the ribbon man?"

"The underworld has its own rules, and the world of the living has its own rules. Although the Black and White Impermanence are the messengers who collect and manage the ghosts, there are some things they cannot show up to intervene in. At this time, the Ribbon Man needs to show up to handle everything for the Black and White Impermanence."

The old man took out a silk ribbon with a gold border from his pocket and said, "This is the symbol of the Ribbon Man. Back then, your grandmother placed the ribbon in her eyes. Whoever is her descendant will inherit that special pair of eyes."

Jiang Yuechu frowned suspiciously, "You mean, they chose me because of my eyes?"

"That's right." The old man looked up at Jiang Yuechu, "In addition to your eyes, you will have a unique aura after being chosen. No one except the heir of the sash can feel it."

"Is the old gentleman also a ribbon holder?" Jiang Yuchu asked.

The old man did not answer her question directly. "There are many people with ribbons in the world of the living. Because there are so many of them, they are also blinded by interests. I can see that you are a good child. I will help you solve this matter, and you will help me become an official ribbon holder."
