Suicide

Almost as soon as the words fell, Zhouzhou swiftly plucked out a talisman from her bag and hurled it.

Yet, she was a moment too late. The girl in red vanished the instant she heard Zhouzhou's voice, rendering her talisman useless.

Huo Ji'an puzzled, "What's wrong, chubby girl?"

Yu Ze glanced behind but saw nothing, looking at her with confusion.

Zhouzhou's expression grew serious, unable to rest assured. She hurriedly said, "Uncle Yu, Little Skinny Pole, don't move. I'll come find you. Don't hang up."

Unsure of her intentions, Huo Ji'an nodded in bewilderment.

Without delay, Zhouzhou looked up at Qin Ren. "Brother, could you take me to Little Skinny Pole's house?"

"Okay." Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Qin Ren didn't inquire further and immediately carried her out.

Jinbao, who had been about to go foraging outside, saw them and abruptly halted, his nose twitching. With a leap, he landed on Zhouzhou's shoulder and let out a soft "meow" while peering at her phone.
