After surviving my ordeal, I learned that the school beauty had given birth to twins for me.

Chapter 270 The Puppet Curse Has Been Planted

"Yes, that's true." Qian Wanjin nodded. "I don't know the specifics, but I heard President Zhuo mention it briefly, saying that thanks to Mr. Shen, his daughter would have been in danger."

"President Zhuo also admires Mr. Shen very much."

Karen nodded, her eyes flickering.

Zhuo Nianxi...

That girl was almost his seventh sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, she had a connection with Shen Yu.

Just right.

We can start with her.

"Boss Qian, could you arrange a meeting with Zhuo Hongyuan for me?" Karen said casually. "Just tell him I'm an investor from Europe who wants to discuss a business deal with him."

"Huh?" Qian Wanjin was taken aback. "Master, you want to discuss business with Boss Zhuo?"

"What, it's not allowed?" Karen glanced at him.

"Sure, of course!" Qian Wanjin quickly replied, "I'll go arrange it right away!"

Although he didn't know what Master Karen was up to, Qian Wanjin didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Whatever the master says is what it is.

……

Two days later, at a high-end private club in Beijing.

Zhuo Hongyuan arrived at the appointment with his daughter, Zhuo Nianxi.

Zhuo Hongyuan is in his forties, well-maintained, and has a refined and scholarly demeanor; he is clearly a successful person.

Zhuo Nianxi was in her early twenties, very beautiful, and a typical rich girl.

The Soul-Nourishing Mirror incident a while ago really frightened her, and she had to stay home to recuperate for a long time before she slowly recovered.

She came today because her father said he had an important investor to meet with and asked her to come along.

"Mr. Zhuo, it's an honor to meet you!"

Qian Wanjin greeted him with a smile and a warm attitude.

"Mr. Qian, you're too kind." Zhuo Hongyuan smiled and shook hands with Qian Wanjin.

"This must be your daughter, right? She is indeed a beautiful and talented woman!" Qian Wanjin praised Zhuo Nianxi.

"Mr. Qian, you flatter me." Zhuo Nianxi smiled politely.

"Come, come, let me introduce you." Qian Wanjin stepped aside to make room. "This is Mr. Karen, a major investor from Europe, with considerable financial strength."

Karen came out from inside, a faint smile on her face.

He dressed up specially today, wearing a designer suit and with his hair neatly combed, looking quite like a successful businessman.

"Mr. Zhuo, hello." Karen extended her hand and said in broken Chinese.

"Hello, Mr. Karen." Zhuo Hongyuan also extended his hand and shook hands with Karen.

"This must be your daughter?" Karen looked at Zhuo Nianxi with a smile. "Miss Zhuo, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Karen." Zhuo Nianxi nodded politely.

Karen's gaze lingered on Zhuo Nianxi for a few seconds.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed deep in his eyes.

This is the girl.

He almost, almost succeeded in forging his Soul Nourishing Mirror.

It's all because of Shen Yu.

But it's okay.

This time, he intends to use this girl to completely destroy Shen Yu.

"Come, come, sit down and let's talk," Qian Wanjin said hastily.

The group sat down and began discussing business.

Karen was well-prepared and spoke eloquently, making it sound quite plausible.

Zhuo Hongyuan listened attentively, asking questions every now and then.

Zhuo Nianxi sat beside her, listening quietly without saying much.

While chatting with Zhuo Hongyuan, Karen secretly observed Zhuo Nianxi.

well.

Very healthy, and the soul is intact.

Perfect for using as chess pieces.

We chatted for about an hour, and that was about it.

Zhuo Hongyuan was very interested in this investment project and said he would go back and study it before giving Karen a reply.

Karen wasn't in a hurry and said it was no problem.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Zhuo Hongyuan took his leave with his daughter.

When they were leaving, Karen very "enthusiastically" saw them to the door.

Just as Zhuo Nianxi turned around...

Karen's fingers twitched slightly.

A nearly invisible stream of black energy flew from his fingertips and silently entered Zhuo Nianxi's nape.

Zhuo Nianxi felt a slight chill on the back of her neck, as if something had crawled inside.

She subconsciously touched the back of her neck, but felt nothing.

"What's wrong, Niannian?" Zhuo Hongyuan asked, noticing his daughter's actions.

"It's nothing, Dad." Zhuo Nianxi shook her head. "I just feel a little cold on the back of my neck."

"It's probably from the air conditioning," Zhuo Hongyuan said. "Let's go home."

"Mm." Zhuo Nianxi nodded and followed her father.

Unbeknownst to her, a faint wisp of black light flashed deep within her pupils.

Karen stood at the door, watching their departing figures, a sinister smile curling at the corner of her lips.

It became.

The Puppet Curse has been planted.

This spell is very subtle; ordinary people wouldn't even notice it.

Even someone with some expertise wouldn't be able to tell without careful observation.

He could control Zhuo Nianxi's words and actions at any time by activating the spell.

You can also see what's around her through her eyes.

Next, all we have to do is wait.

As Zhuo Nianxi approached Shen Yu, then...

Give him a big "surprise".

Karen gave a sinister laugh.

Shen Yu, you just wait.

Soon you will find out what happens when you offend me, Karen.

……

When the Zhuo father and daughter returned home, they found nothing.

Zhuo Nianxi did the same thing as usual: eat, watch TV, and sleep.

Everything is normal.

Even she herself didn't sense anything unusual.

The next day, Zhuo Nianxi got up, washed up, and ate breakfast.

While she was eating, she suddenly put down her chopsticks.

"Dad, I want to go out today," Zhuo Nianxi said.

"Where are we going?" Zhuo Hongyuan asked.

"Let's go to Mr. Shen's house," Zhuo Nianxi said.

"The New Year is almost here, and Mr. Shen is my savior. I'd like to buy some gifts and visit him since it's almost New Year's."

"Oh?" Zhuo Hongyuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

"Of course, of course. Mr. Shen is a great benefactor to our family, and we should thank him properly."

"Here's what we'll do: have your driver go with you, and buy some expensive gifts so you don't look stingy."

"No need, Dad." Zhuo Nianxi smiled. "I can go by myself. Besides, I'd like... to have Shen Zixuan come with me."

As she spoke, her face flushed slightly.

Zhuo Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and burst into laughter.

"Oh, I see." Zhuo Hongyuan said with a smile, "Okay, no problem. You can go with Xiao Shen, it'll be more lively."

He had a good impression of Shen Zixuan, and it would be great if his daughter could marry him.

"Mmm." Zhuo Nianxi nodded, her face flushed.

She herself found it strange.

She was grateful to and respected Mr. Shen, and she wouldn't dare to bother him unless there was something important to do.

Why did I suddenly feel like going today?

Moreover, I felt a strong urge to see Mr. Shen.

It was as if a voice in her head was saying, "Go, go to the Shen family, go see Shen Yu."

Zhuo Nianxi shook her head, suppressing the strange thought.

After breakfast, I changed into a nice outfit and went out.
