"I don't blame you. You explained everything to me clearly back then. It's my obsession that's been too strong." Xu Yanling lowered her head and said, "After hearing what you said just now, I remember everything. My death has nothing to do with you."

Yan Muhuai asked, "Then how did you die?"

If Xu Yanling had not died in vain, her ghost would not have attached itself to the painting and remained trapped inside, unable to escape.

Chen Sangluo and the others accidentally entered the haunted house. She recognized the wrong person, which aroused the regret and unwillingness deep in her heart, so she ran out to harm others.

"Yes, Yanling, your case is still filed in the police station and is regarded as an unsolved case at the time. The murderer has not been found. Do you still remember what the murderer looks like?" Chen Xiao was still kneeling on the ground, looking up and asking Xu Yanling.

Xu Yanling looked up at Chen Xiao and said, "The murderer is my father. You would never imagine that a father would be so cruel to his own daughter. Of course, we can't find the murderer."

"What? It's your father!" Chen Xiao's voice unconsciously rose. "That beast! After you died, he repeatedly used your story to blackmail me into giving him money. I felt sorry for them, so I gave him money every time. I'm really throwing money at the dogs!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanling immediately bowed and apologized to Chen Xiao, "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, I have caused you trouble."

"Sister, stand up straight. He was the one who wronged you first, and this is what he deserves." Before Chen Xiao could say anything, Mrs. Chen spoke first.

If Xu Yanling was not a ghost, Mrs. Chen would have gone forward to help her up herself, but she didn't dare to do so now, so she just sat stiffly in the chair and spoke.

"Are my parents still blackmailing you, Brother Chen?" Xu Yanling stood up, smiled at Mrs. Chen first, and then asked Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao shook his head. "Five years ago, there was no news. I didn't think they respected you very much. Plus, they hadn't made any effort to live in those years, so I didn't send anyone to look for them."

At first, he gave them money out of sympathy, but as time went on, that little bit of guilt was worn away. He hadn't heard from them in the past few years, but instead of being worried, he felt relieved and even prayed in his heart that they would never look for him again.

Yan Muhuai glanced at Xu Yanling's face and said to Chen Xiao, "Don't be afraid, Mayor Chen. They won't come looking for you again."

"How do you know?" Chen Xiao looked at Yan Muhuai suspiciously.

"After looking at her face, I found out that her parents died in an accident." Yan Muhuai said lightly.

Yan Ce's eyes widened. "Can ghosts read faces?"

He has been following his brother for the past two days and has really broadened his horizons. He has seen things now that he could never have seen in his dreams in the past sixteen years.

"That's good, this way I don't have to do anything." Xu Yanling said heartlessly.

What she meant was that if her parents were still alive, she would personally deal with them in order to prevent them from harassing Chen Xiao.

Thirty-five sighed in Yan Muhuai's mind, "Human nature is truly horrible. They were once a family, the closest relationship in the world, yet they have come to the point of killing each other!"

"You're a stupid system, so don't try to imitate others and express your feelings about human nature, as if you understand it." Yan Muhuai said sarcastically.

Thirty-five said respectfully, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Xu Yanling apologized to Madam Chen and her son, and finally said to Yan Muhuai, "Thank you too for helping me regain my memory and stopping me from harming others."

"We each get what we need, don't be polite." He helped Xu Yanling resolve her worries, and the system gave him merit points. He did this voluntarily, and she didn't owe him anything.

Xu Yanling shook her head. "I know my heart knot has been untied and it's time for me to reincarnate, but being a human is really meaningless, and I don't want to start over again. In the small building, I found that you can absorb the power of ghosts. Seeing that you are so weak, I will help you!"

"No need!" Yan Muhuai stood up and wanted to stop Xu Yanling from doing something stupid, but he was still a step too slow.

Xu Yanling's ghost melted instantly after hitting him.

"Ahhh! Why did she commit suicide? Will we get no merit points?" Thirty-five screamed in despair.

Yan Muhuai didn't expect Xu Yanling to be so decisive. Although he would feel a little better after absorbing her ghost power, it would not increase his lifespan!

The next moment, the system prompt sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for helping Chen Sangluo escape the evil spirit's entanglement. Reward: 100 merit points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for helping the evil ghost Xu Yanling resolve her emotional issues. Three hundred merit points as a reward!"

"Warning! The host brutally killed the evil ghost Xu Yanling, and one hundred merit points will be deducted!"

After hearing the prompt, he spoke as if he had survived thirty-five disasters, "Not bad, not bad, only a hundred points were deducted. The host can live through tomorrow. But what do you mean by brutally killing evil spirits? Can this broken program even speak human language?"

Thirty-five had already complained about it, and Yan Muhuai was too lazy to say anything more.

Although the other people in the room heard what Xu Yanling said and saw her suddenly disappear, they didn't know what exactly happened and no one dared to ask.

The painting on the bedside table also turned into a burst of light and disappeared into the air.

Mrs. Chen came back to her senses and took out the bank card she had previously given to Yan Muhuai. "Thank you, Mr. Yan. This is a small gift from me."

"No need, Madam Chen..." Yan Muhuai, who had just been deducted 100 merit points, was very cautious. He was afraid that if he accepted benefits from Madam Chen, he would be punished by the system again.

Seeing that he refused to accept it, Mrs. Chen misunderstood his meaning and quickly explained, "Don't worry, Mr. Yan, this money is my personal contribution. It has nothing to do with Old Chen. Although he is a scumbag in terms of love, he will never do anything out of line at work."

Chen Xiao: “?”

He was in a complicated mood. He didn't know whether to be happy or sad after receiving such an evaluation from Mrs. Chen.
