Jiang Tan's face suddenly changed. The faster the compass turned, the more powerful the energy of this thing was.

Following the compass, Jiang Tan searched little by little until he reached the bookshelf. The compass was spinning as if it was about to fly.

She looked at the bookshelf. In addition to some books, there was also a teddy bear that looked quite old. She reached out her hand and wanted to pick up the bear. As soon as she placed her hand on it, she felt a strong wave.

"Where did this bear come from?" Jiang Tan secretly made a hand gesture, stretched out his index finger, and seemed to lightly tap the bear's head. The moment his finger touched the bear, it was as if he was cut by a sharp blade. A long wound immediately appeared on his finger, and blood flowed out along his fingertips.

Gu Junchuan's face changed, and he quickly walked to Jiang Tan, took her hand, took out a navy blue handkerchief from his arms, gently wiped the blood on it, then opened the bedside table, took out a small medicine box, carefully disinfected it with alcohol, and wrapped it with gauze.

When he finished his work, Jiang Tan stretched out his index finger in disbelief. It was wrapped with layer upon layer of gauze and was as fat as a white radish.

"Gu Junchuan, you're exaggerating this a bit."

Gu Junchuan cleaned up the table and put the medicine box back to its original place, then looked at his "results"

"Not exaggerated, just right." He was very satisfied with his "masterpiece".

After saying this, he turned to look at the bear, frowned, and reached out to grab the bear, but was stopped by Jiang Tan.

He glanced at the hand holding his wrist in confusion, then looked at Jiang Tan with a questioning look.

"This thing has too much yin energy. Your body cannot come into contact with this kind of thing now." Jiang Tan didn't even look at Gu Junchuan. He pushed him away and took out a yellow braided hemp rope from his bag. The handle of the rope was made of wood with a dragon head engraved on it.

Jiang Tan pinched her fingers together, and the rope in her hand flew out of her hand as if it had life, and wrapped around the teddy bear.

Gu Junchuan didn’t know if it was a visual error, but he seemed to see the bear swaying from side to side.

After a while, Jiang Tan saw that there was no response, so he reached out, took the teddy bear off the bookshelf, and casually put it in his cloth bag.

"I'll take this bear first, just like the pen. I'll return it to you when I'm done." Jiang Tan had a headache. How come Gu Junchuan had so many "things" around him? You know, these "things" couldn't be obtained casually. Who was so cruel to him that he would go to such great lengths, torturing him slowly like "cutting meat with a blunt knife"!

"Is this bear also a gift from your father?" Jiang Tan thought of the pen, but unlike the pen, there should be something inside this bear, while the pen had been left with "dirty" things for too long and was contaminated with some "smell".

Gu Junchuan frowned and shook his head, "This teddy bear was specially customized for me when my mother was still alive." On the back of the bear is the abbreviation of his English name, and even the clothes on the bear are a one-to-one scale reduction of the clothes he wore on his birthday that year.

Jiang Tan did not expect this answer. "Excuse me, how old were you when your mother passed away?"

"Seven years old." The memories before the age of seven seemed to be separated by a layer of glass. They seemed clear, yet blurry. So blurry that he wondered if they happened in his previous life.

"Did anyone touch the bear after that?" Jiang Tan looked at Gu Junchuan who seemed to have entered his own world, and his heart moved slightly. It is not easy for a child from a rich family to survive.

Jiang Tan's voice was like a ray of sunshine, shining into his dark and hazy memories. He looked at her woodenly:

"It has been here since I was seven years old. I don't know if anyone has touched it."

Jiang Tan did not continue to ask, knowing that it was useless to ask. After all, the child's room was not locked on weekdays except when the maid cleaned it every day. Anyone living in this house could be the murderer.

There was nothing else in the room except the bear. Jiang Tan wanted to go to another room to take a look. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a beautiful woman with a charming demeanor walking up the stairs.

Looking at the visitor's attire, Jiang Tan guessed that this should be Gu Junchuan's "stepmother".

"Xiaochuan, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming back? Aunt Xiang can ask someone to prepare some of your favorite food." The beautiful woman glanced at Jiang Tan lightly, looked at Gu Junchuan with a smile, and said with a loving face.

"Do I need to make an appointment with you before I go back to my home?" Gu Junchuan looked at the woman in front of him with a sarcastic smile.

Hearing him say this, Nan Xiang didn't seem angry at all, as if she was used to his way of speaking. The smile on her face remained unchanged, and she said softly:

"Child, you live outside by yourself and no one is watching over your three meals a day. You have been in poor health since childhood. Aunt Xiang wanted to take advantage of your return to nourish you. Some things need to be stewed for several hours."

Hearing her words, Gu Junchuan snorted coldly. Isn’t this woman tired of wearing the mask for so many years?

"Thank you for your concern for me. I just brought a friend back to get something and will be leaving soon."

Nan Xiang seemed to have just seen Jiang Tan. She looked at her with her slender and charming eyes and said with a smile, "This is the first time I see Xiaochuan bringing a girl home. I wonder where you come from."

Jiang Tan was embarrassed and was about to speak when a figure suddenly blocked his view.

"You don't need to know who she is. We've already picked up all the things. We're leaving first." After saying that, he took Jiang Tan's hand and walked down the stairs...

Nan Xiang's smile remained unchanged. Her eyes drifted towards the half-open bedroom door. When she saw the missing teddy bear on the bookshelf, her eyes flickered, and then she looked at the two people downstairs...

Jiang Tan felt like there was a thorn in his back, and there was a burning sensation on his back. Was he being made a "target"? The interpersonal relationships in this family were really complicated.

"Young Master, I cooked your favorite drunken pork ribs. Please stay for dinner tonight."

As the two of them reached the stairs, a thin woman in her fifties wearing an apron walked out of the dining room. When she saw Gu Junchuan, there was unconcealable joy in her eyes.

"Aunt Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?" Gu Junchuan rarely showed a sincere smile. He let go of Jiang Tan's hand, walked towards the woman, and hugged her gently.

The woman whom Gu Junchuan called Aunt Fang hugged Gu Junchuan with slightly trembling hands, patted his back gently, and said with a choked voice:

"Don't you have a good meal when you live outside? Have you lost weight again?"
