A few minutes later, in the hospital room, Elder Gu walked steadily for two laps, just like nothing had happened.

This made the elderly Mr. Gu, who had been anxiously watching, finally feel relieved. His face was full of gratitude as he turned to his newly adopted daughter, the third one, and gently asked, "Yao Yao, can you tell Grandpa what exactly happened? How did this charm heal your grandma’s injury so quickly?"

How could simply sticking a charm cause his old wife’s injury to heal completely?

As a man inclined toward materialism, Mr. Gu felt as though his worldview had been shattered.

Elder Gu, on the other hand, was much calmer. Aside from the initial shock, she had thought it over and convinced herself.

Before her granddaughter could explain, she spoke first.

"What else could it be? Our precious granddaughter is truly a grandmaster."

This explanation sounded a bit ridiculous. If someone had told her this before, Elder Gu would have slapped them twice. Who thinks being a grandmaster is like picking vegetables, and you can find them anywhere?

But now? Her leg felt completely fine. This was something most grandmasters couldn’t achieve.

Elder Gu was absolutely delighted. After this, whenever something happened, who would still need to go to temples and Daoist halls?

Just coax the precious granddaughter, and everything could be solved!

Elder Gu’s face became serious as she patted Chen Hui’s shoulder and said, "Xiao Hui, you have a pair of wise eyes!"

"You are the blessing of our Gu family. For your third son to marry you is the greatest fortune of his life."

It was well known that the little granddaughter was the one her third son insisted on marrying. Had her stance not been firm enough, her precious grandmaster granddaughter would have been completely disconnected from the Gu family. Elder Gu’s heart would be filled with regret.

"Of course, Yao Yao is the greatest blessing of the family!"

Elder Gu sincerely added, and at that moment, her satisfaction with her little granddaughter was almost overflowing in her eyes.

Chen Hui smiled involuntarily upon seeing this.

She wanted Yao Yao to be loved by the whole family, including Elder Gu and Elder Gu.

"Now, shall we go straight home?" Chen Hui glanced at her mother-in-law, who was walking briskly, and asked.

"Yes, let’s go now. I don’t want to stay in this horrible hospital a moment longer."

Although Elder Gu was from Jiangnan, her temperament was even more impatient than that of people from the North. She had disliked hospitals since she was young, and the smell of disinfectant in the air made her uncomfortable.

She had thought that if her old partner twisted his ankle, he would make her stay in the hospital for seven or eight days, which troubled her.

Who would have thought that the surprise came so quickly? She had already recovered, so who would want to stay here?

Seeing that his wife was indeed fine, Elder Gu was happy to go along with her. Chen Hui went downstairs to complete the discharge process, and soon everything was sorted.

...

On the way home, Elder Gu asked her precious granddaughter all sorts of questions, and Yao Yao answered softly the entire time.

She knew that this old lady was her father’s mother, and both her parents respected her greatly. Since she was adopted, she couldn’t make things difficult for her mother, so she worked hard to behave well.

This was something the old Taoist priest had taught her: a truly well-behaved child doesn’t cause trouble for adults, and that’s how they will be liked by others.

"Grandma, if you want more charms, you can ask Yao Yao. I can draw a lot of different kinds!"

Yao Yao stretched out her small chubby hand and began counting seriously. There were so many types she had learned that for a moment, she couldn’t even finish counting them all.

"Good, good, good. Then I’ll trouble our Yao Yao in the future."

Elder Gu smiled happily when she heard that, feeling that she and her little granddaughter were so in sync.

She had already decided to stay at her third son’s house for these days so she could spend more time with her precious granddaughter.

While thinking this, her phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket. Elder Gu furrowed her brow.

She was puzzled, wondering who would be calling at this time. She took out her phone, and after seeing the call, she answered it.

"Old sister, I shouldn’t be calling you at this time, but I really have no choice. I had to come to you."

Before she could say anything, the voice on the other end was urgent, filled with anxiety.

Elder Gu paused for a moment, then spoke, "What’s going on? Just tell me directly."

The person calling was her old friend from Beijing. They had been close since their youth, and as she aged, there were fewer and fewer people left in her life. Hearing that her friend needed help, Elder Gu’s first instinct was to offer assistance.

Her friend, relieved to hear Elder Gu’s response, quickly continued, "It’s like this, my Dong Dong... he... he was kidnapped today after school by human traffickers."

"I remember your grandson works in the police. Can you please ask him to mobilize some people to help look for him?"

The child had been missing for less than half a day, making it the golden time for rescue.

If they missed this window, their chances of finding him would be slim. Naturally, they needed to mobilize all forces immediately.

The police were the best choice, but they didn’t have the right connections, so they had to reach out to Elder Gu.

Elder Gu hadn’t expected her old friend to encounter such a thing. She quickly comforted her, telling her not to worry.

She also promised, "Don’t worry. I’ll have Jin Nian mobilize the forces and help you."

If she remembered correctly, her old friend’s family had very few descendants, and Dong Dong was their only child.

Now, facing this situation, it felt like it could sever their family’s lineage!

"These human traffickers really deserve to die!"

Elder Gu didn’t hang up the phone, worried that she wouldn’t be able to explain clearly. She immediately told her third daughter-in-law to contact Jin Nian directly, so the two could communicate directly.

"Alright, we’ll mobilize the police immediately and search thoroughly."

Jin Nian, being capable and resourceful, gave the order to issue the search warrant as soon as he received the information.

At that moment, as several adults hurried around, Yao Yao suddenly spoke up.

"Grandma, do you have a photo of the little brother who was kidnapped? Can you show it to me?"

Elder Gu froze at first, but then Chen Hui suddenly realized. She slapped her head and said, "How could I forget about Yao Yao? Mom, give Yao Yao the photo!"

It wasn’t that she hadn’t thought of it, but last time Yao Yao had helped find a spirit, and now they were searching for a living person, so it didn’t immediately occur to her.

But when her daughter spoke, she instantly understood. Since her daughter could handle it, the efficiency and success rate would be far higher than the carpet-style search her third son was doing.

"Here, this is the photo."

Although Elder Gu didn’t understand why her third daughter-in-law had such a reaction, there was no time to think further. She quickly pulled out the chat history where her old friend had sent photos of her grandson.

After finding the photo, she immediately handed it to her granddaughter.

Yao Yao’s large, beautiful eyes scanned the photo of the little boy. After recognizing his face, she withdrew her gaze.

Then, she began to form hand seals and chant words under her breath.

At the same time, deep purple light began to flicker in her eyes. Her vision shifted, and in that moment, she saw no world—only countless intertwined, chaotic lines of fate and the boundless sea of destiny.

Following the end of the fate line, she quickly locked onto a distant direction.

"I found it!"
