"Slap! Slap! Slap!" Just as Brother Kun had barely jumped up, Ge Dongxu suddenly reached out and grabbed his neck, and with the book in his hand, started beating his head.

"Do you want to try saying that again?" The smile on Ge Dongxu's face had disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

Feeling the cold and hard grip on his neck and the pain in his head, and seeing the cold look on Ge Dongxu's face, Brother Kun shuddered and suddenly realized that the young man in front of him was not someone to be trifled with. To avoid further trouble, it was best to be more obedient.

"I won't say it again, I won't say it again!" Brother Kun quickly said when he saw Ge Dongxu raise the book again to hit his head.

"If you had done this earlier, you wouldn't have been hit. You really do deserve a beating." Ge Dongxu finally let go and sat back down, pouting.

Brother Kun gritted his teeth in hatred but dared not argue back.

"By the way, you said earlier that this wouldn't be over, right? You also said I should kowtow to you and become your little brother, right?" After sitting down, Ge Dongxu spoke again.

Brother Kun and Yue Ting looked at each other and then said in unison, "No, no, it was just a joke earlier. It's just a piece of clothing, let's just forget about it."

A wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him. It's better to fool this little brat for now!

"Unfortunately, you already let the cat out of the bag. Do you really think I would believe you now? But if I don't believe you and let you go, what will I do if you come back for revenge later?" Ge Dongxu stroked his chin, looking troubled, but his bright and sharp eyes were sizing them up.

Seeing Ge Dongxu's eyes sizing them up and his troubled expression, Brother Kun and Yue Ting wished they could slap themselves.

Isn't this self-imposed trouble? If they had just said they would forget about it and leave earlier, it would have been fine. But they had to be stubborn and talk back, and now this little brat wouldn't let them go, and who knows what he might do.

"It looks like I'll have to use a bit of force!" After thinking for a while, Ge Dongxu stroked his chin and stood up with a troubled look. He took out two yellow papers from a drawer, mixed some cinnabar, and then took a brush, dipped it in the cinnabar, and handed it to Brother Kun, saying, "Come on, Brother Kun, please write down your birth date and name."

"Birth date?" Brother Kun looked at Ge Dongxu with confusion.

"Yes, the year, month, day, and hour of your birth. After you write this and your name, you can go," Ge Dongxu said.

"Really?" Brother Kun asked with surprise, thinking he would have to endure more torture from Ge Dongxu, at least a beating, but it turned out to be so simple.

"Of course, it's real." Ge Dongxu nodded, a cold smile flashing in his eyes.

Brother Kun, without any suspicion, took the brush and wrote his birth date and name on the yellow paper in a messy scrawl. After finishing, without waiting for Ge Dongxu's instructions, he dipped the brush in cinnabar and handed it to Yue Ting.

Yue Ting hesitated slightly when she took the brush but eventually wrote down her birth date obediently.

After all, it was just a birth date and name. She didn't think a country boy like Ge Dongxu could do anything with it.

"Can we go now?" After finishing, Yue Ting put down the brush and watched as Ge Dongxu used scissors to cut the two yellow papers into the shape of people. She felt an inexplicable chill and asked in a trembling voice.

After speaking, she realized her voice was trembling and thought she was being overly sensitive. These days, things like talismans, curses, and paper figures were just tricks from TV and movies, and a young person like her shouldn't believe in such nonsense. She must have been bewitched!

"Wait!" Ge Dongxu said with a smile, and with the scissors, he lightly snipped a small lock of hair from Yue Ting and Brother Kun's heads, then waved his hand and said, "You can go now."

Seeing this, Yue Ting and Brother Kun immediately left, but they didn't realize that Ge Dongxu's lips curled into a cold smile, and he attached the hair to the paper figures, as if they were veins.

Then, Ge Dongxu gently flicked the "knee pit" of the paper figures.

"Ah!"

"Thud!"

Just as they reached the door and were about to pull the handle, both of them suddenly felt a pain in their knee pits, lost their balance, and fell to their knees.

At first, they didn't feel anything strange, just a sudden pain in their knee pits, like a needle prick. But when they realized their companion had also fallen to their knees, they shuddered and blurted out, "Did you also feel a sudden pain in your knee pit?"

The words came out almost simultaneously, and their faces turned pale, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, their eyes filled with fear.

"You little brat, how dare you play tricks on us!" After the fear, Brother Kun turned around and glared at Ge Dongxu, who was sitting in a chair with his legs crossed, holding the two paper figures with the red, messy birth dates and names written on them.

Before, they hadn't noticed anything strange, but now the red, messy writing looked particularly glaring and even had a sinister feel to it.

"There's no choice. Our family is just an ordinary one. If we don't guard against you, you'll call the police as soon as you leave our house, and we'll be at your mercy. Also, your attitude should be more polite. It was you who started the trouble, so don't blame me for dealing with you now." Ge Dongxu said with a helpless look, and as he spoke, he lightly pinched the arm of the paper figure in his hand.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts!" Brother Kun immediately cried out in pain.

Seeing Brother Kun's pained expression, although Ge Dongxu was angry at his earlier arrogance and for pushing his father, he was still a kind-hearted young man and let go.

"What, what do you want?" This time, Brother Kun, who had witnessed and experienced the strange events firsthand, was truly afraid. He looked at Ge Dongxu as if he were a demon, his face pale and stammering. Yue Ting, standing beside him, was also pale, and even her heavy makeup couldn't hide it.

"You can rest assured. I'm just guarding against the future and don't want to do anything to you. As long as you don't cause trouble for my family later, I won't do anything to you. But if you do, don't blame me for being unfriendly." Ge Dongxu said with a sincere look.

Seeing Ge Dongxu's sincere expression, Yue Ting and Brother Kun both shed tears.

For a piece of clothing and a bit of youthful arrogance, they now had their lives in Ge Dongxu's hands. Why had they been so obedient earlier? Why hadn't they written down fake information?
