The town's only high school doesn't have its own exam center; students have to go to the city for the college entrance exam. The school will arrange accommodation in a small hotel for them.

On the day of the college entrance examination, the second exam in the afternoon had just ended, and Li Fangqi headed towards her small hotel. Because many classmates had been complaining about her investment returns and giving her the cold shoulder lately, she had become somewhat isolated and mostly acted alone.

She had barely reached the alley near the small hotel when she was knocked unconscious by someone who jumped out from behind the corner.

When the teacher in charge of their group took roll call at dinner time, he noticed that Li Fangqi was missing. He quickly led a few boys to search for her separately, but when they found her, they discovered that she had become mentally unstable.

As an adult, the teacher noticed that her clothes were tattered and guessed what had happened, so he immediately called the police.

A few days later, Liu Quan was approached by the police.

Because it was premeditated, Liu Quan was very careful from the time he scouted the location to the time he carried out the task, making sure that he was not discovered. He even cleaned up the mess afterwards.

So when the police came to Liu Quan, he was a little confused and pretended not to know why they were looking for him. But given his limited abilities, he was easily frightened and confessed everything after only a few questions from the police.

But he really didn't know why Li Fangqi had gone mad. He just knocked Li Fangqi unconscious, and then... when he left, Li Fangqi was still unconscious and hadn't woken up at all.

Through extensive investigation and medical examination, the police determined that Li Fangqi was already on the verge of collapse due to excessive debt pressure and heavy academic burden in her senior year of high school. Liu Quan's blow to her brain nerves, coupled with the subsequent discovery of her assault upon waking, caused her to suffer from mental breakdown due to the repeated shocks.

Subsequent investigations revealed that Li Fangqi, being a minor, had no ability to take out the loan. She had secretly taken out the loan in her father's name, and this huge loan fell on the Li family.

The Li family had already invested all their money, and now with the addition of loans and high-interest loans, they simply couldn't afford to treat Li Fangqi's illness, and no one was willing to take care of her basic needs.

Because she was bullied by Liu Quan, the Li family simply handed Li Fangqi over to the Liu family, leaving Liu Quan's wife and Liu Huai to take care of her.

The Liu family still harbored resentment towards the Li family because of their unsuccessful investment. However, Liu Quan was now in jail, leaving only Liu Huai as the only man in the Liu family. The Li family, on the other hand, had several young men besides Li's father. The Liu family couldn't beat the Li family, so they could only let Li Fangqi stay in the Liu family.

However, the two women from the Liu family did not believe they had an obligation to take care of Li Fangqi. They never allowed Li Fangqi to enter the house or eat.

She would wander around the streets all day, sometimes grabbing food.

She was even beaten by Liu's mother and her husband for stealing food. She was acting crazy, spouting nonsense about being reborn and knowing many things about the future, but who would believe her?!

The police found her several times after someone reported her missing and took her back to the Li family's house. But each time, the Li family would take her back to the Liu family's house after the police left, and the Liu family would then dump her at the door again...

Not long after, she died from poisoning after accidentally ingesting rat poison that was placed by the roadside for exterminating rats.

The Li family then caused another disturbance with the Liu family, and the two families became sworn enemies.

In fact, Li Fangqi's investment could have yielded considerable returns in the future, but unfortunately, the Li family was forced to scatter and flee due to being pursued by loan sharks, and their whereabouts are unknown.

After Liu Quan was arrested, the two women from the Liu family lived a much more peaceful and quiet life than when he was alive. Although neither of them were good at making money, they would occasionally do odd jobs at the software base, which was enough to make ends meet.

They persevered until their investments yielded returns, and their lives gradually improved.

Unfortunately, this period of happiness was short-lived. Liu Quan was released from prison three years later. Because his mother had asked for a divorce while he was in jail, Liu Quan held a grudge against her. After his release, Liu Quan treated his mother worse than before, and all the money she had saved was squandered by him through gambling or affairs.

Unable to bear the couple any longer, Liu Huai left Zhegu District to work in a distant big city, and has been out of contact with them ever since.

Liu Quan and his wife were constantly in a state of chaos. Liu Quan would often beat his mother. One day, Liu's mother could no longer bear it and fought back, accidentally killing Liu Quan. She wanted to go to a distant city to find Liu Huai, but was arrested at the train station.

Those who killed Ling Nian have finally received their retribution. Ling Nian's greatest wish was for Zhegu Village to escape poverty and become prosperous, so that the lives of the women there could be improved. This wish was realized thanks to the establishment and development of the Zhegu District Software Base.

Chu Nian lived in this world for more than two years. Shortly after Liu Ma was arrested, her soul was taken away from this world.

She now has some doubts. Is this force that is pulling her away from her the same as the force that brought her into these books? Is it not from a judge or a little devil in the underworld, but from someone else, or even from the underworld itself?

As Chu Nian passed through the underworld, she heard voices approaching from afar. It seemed to be Cui Yu and Hei Wuchang whispering and plotting something. She used her immobilization spell again to keep herself in that study.

Before she could even stand still, she saw the Black Impermanence give her a thumbs up, looking at Cui Yu with admiration, and praise, "As expected, Judge, you are truly wise."

As soon as the Black Impermanence finished speaking, he saw Chu Nian land not far behind Cui Yu. Chu Nian screamed in terror and involuntarily retreated, but because her legs could not move, her body leaned backward.

His stiff legs kicked Cui Yu, who was completely unprepared, causing Cui Yu to lose his balance and stumble forward.

The two of them stacked themselves on top of each other again, but this time they were facing each other instead of back to back.

Chu Nian: ...These celestial officials in the underworld, are they... just like this?

"Little Black, how dare you ambush this judge!" Cui Yu shouted sharply, leaping up and standing firm with his hands behind his back, glaring angrily at Little Black.

Xiao Hei fell to the ground. To be honest, he wasn't seriously injured, but Cui Yu had given him quite a beating. However, he didn't dare to blame Cui Yu. He struggled to his feet, pointing behind Cui Yu, and said, "Judge... Judge..."

Seeing that his appearance was strange, Cui Yu turned his head and met Chu Nian's bright eyes. He was so frightened that he also let out a howl and his body instinctively stepped back. As a result, he bumped into Xiao Hei and tripped, and the two immortal officials fell backward again.

Chu Nian felt she was getting a little tired of seeing people stacked on top of each other.

She craned her neck to look at the entrance of the bookstore and said calmly, "Who was that dark figure who just flashed out?"

"Mind your own business..." Cui Yu said as he got up, but when he saw Chu Nian's glaring eyes, which were filled with a chilling aura, his heart clenched. He originally wanted to say, "Is it any of your business?" but somehow he said, "It's the Underworld... His Highness the Underworld King."
