That Works Out Perfectly

"Hmm, that's possible." Grace Wan nodded. "Then, I'll go find Sophie Sun and let her know. Maybe we won't even need to do anything ourselves!"

"Got it! I'll tail her."

Grace Wan pulled out a rune talisman from her pocket and handed it to Leon Wan. "Infuse it with spiritual power, and it'll glow, showing her direction."

Leon Wan took it and followed on horseback from a distance.

Grace Wan took a deep breath, her lips curling into a cold smile.

Chloe Zhu had actually discovered her biggest secret.

She had to get rid of this thorn in her side, no matter what!

But Chloe's cultivation was advancing at a terrifying pace! Killing her wouldn't be easy.

Fortunately, after her protective talisman was activated, she actually benefited from the disaster and gained an incredible power from the rune.

Today, when Chloe went out, she pretended to grab her hand and secretly placed a tracking rune on her.

Then she could follow Chloe from afar.

No matter where she went, Grace Wan could always find her... As long as she tracked Chloe's movements, there would be plenty of chances to get rid of her...

Heaven is truly helping her!

The very first time she tracked her, she discovered Chloe had gone to the Sun Family's coal mine.

...

Sun Residence.

Sophie Sun hurried to find her father, Charles Sun.

"Dad, we've got trouble!"

"What's wrong?" Charles Sun asked.

Grace Wan came to tell me that Chloe went to our coal mine in North Mountain!

"Oh? She actually found her way there?" Charles Sun narrowed his eyes. "Did she follow us last night?"

"For sure! I knew she wasn't just being nice, letting us move everything out! She's definitely up to something bigger!"

Did Chloe go inside?

"Grace Wan said she was hiding outside, watching for ages. She didn't go in at all!"

"Hiding and watching for ages..." Charles Sun mused. "If I'm not mistaken, she'll definitely try to find a way in and investigate."

"So what should we do? Her cultivation... The guards there won't be able to stop her at all."

"Don't worry," Charles Sun said. "The mine inside is already emptied out."

"Emptied? Nothing left?" Sophie Sun was stunned.

Charles Sun nodded. "I was planning to wrap up that business anyway. If she dares to go inside... well, that's perfect."

Sophie Sun understood her father's meaning, and a snake-like smile appeared on her face. "I'll go find Grace Wan again and make sure she keeps track of Chloe's movements."

Charles Sun nodded.

...

After nightfall, Chloe returned to the coal mine.

She thought that by nighttime, everyone at the mine would have left.

To her surprise, there were still plenty of people guarding the place.

Inside, laborers were pushing cart after cart of coal, loading them up through the night.

With so many guards around, how could she sneak in?

Just as Chloe was fretting, she saw one of the laborers say, "Boss, I need to go take a leak."

"Again? You're just a lazy donkey!" The one called 'Boss'—probably the foreman—snapped fiercely.

"No, really, my stomach's been upset all day! I have diarrhea!" As he spoke, he let out a loud fart.

The foreman pinched his nose in disgust. "Go, go, go!"

So the worker headed off into the nearby woods, probably to relieve himself.

Chloe noticed that the man was covered in coal dust except for his white eyes, and he was small and skinny. Her eyes lit up.
