Chapter 46
◎One day in the future, we will meet again◎
Seeing its owner whom it had not seen for a long time, the black dog licked her face while whimpering.
Even though it looks different and smells different, it knows its owner is here.
It wandered around here for thirteen years and finally waited for its owner to come and pick it up.
【Woo woo woo, good dog. 】
【It has been guarding this area all this time?】
You are such a fool!
[Great, great! They finally found each other.]
【This is the first critical hit I received at the beginning of the year. 】
I couldn't contain myself at all watching this scene; the emotions of these little animals are so pure.
[I am a believer who is willing to be a vegetarian for ten years. I hope all cats and dogs can find a loving owner.]
【Baby Shunyi, baby Xiaonan, it's all over! 】
"Xie Yan" hugged the black dog and cried heart-wrenchingly.
Everyone in the live broadcast room seemed to be infected, and the barrage was filled with "woo" sounds.
"It's getting late, let's go home." Qianyang reminded.
"Xie Yan" returned to her home with the black dog.
It raised its injured paw to wipe its tears, and curled up in "Xie Yan's" arms like a puppy, sobbing with its body rising and falling.
Qian Yang took a look and said, "Today's live broadcast ends here. Come find me tomorrow morning."
"good……"
To give her some time alone, Qian Yang cut off the connection between them.
[Host, host, if Shunyi is found, will Xiaonan be able to reincarnate? ]
[Wow, can you please let it stay with its owner for a few more days?]
[I can't stand seeing this kind of thing. I cried.]
Qian Yang said, "Once her heart knot is untied, she will naturally enter reincarnation. Xie Yan and Shun Yi will also enter a new life."
【Don’t let baby Shunyi wander around anymore! 】
[Will Sister Xie Yan adopt it? ]
[Sister Xie Yan's most important task is to take care of her health. She probably doesn't have the energy to take care of Shun Yi right now.]
[I can! I can adopt Shunyi and pick him up over there.]
[I can do it too!]
Qian Yang did not comment on this and ended today's live broadcast.
Although Qianyang’s live broadcast has ended, discussions on other platforms about the matter have not subsided.
"Ah ...
"After seventeen years, a man and a dog finally meet."
"She calls herself mother, and Shunyi is like a child to her! Those damned beasts of the Shi family, go to hell!"
"It's so touching. It's hard to imagine such a magical thing happening in the world. I always thought metaphysics was just a psychological effect, but I never thought that relying solely on metaphysics could uncover the truth of what happened 17 years ago and allow us to enter Shi Xiaonan's life."
"Master Qianyang is amazing. I've basically been a spectator of everything she's experienced since she started live streaming. She truly applies the power of metaphysics to everyone and does her best to help many people in need. It's brought tears to my eyes countless times."
"Perhaps you know that after so many live broadcasts, Master Qianyang only collected the two durian tips from the first broadcast?"
“May good things happen to them.”
…
"(Smiling) So, the matter between Shi Xiaonan and Shunyi has been resolved. What about the 'Replay' crew and those Shi family bastards?"
"The crew of 'Reenactment' has been forced to pay compensation. If Sister Xie Yan doesn't pursue the matter, I hope they won't remove 'Reenactment' from the shelves. It's truly a rare and good film. Let them pay more so Sister Xie Yan can recover."
"In the three years since Shi Xiaonan's death, three people have been rumored to have died at her hands. However, as things stand, none of these deaths were related to her. Aren't the authorities planning to reopen murder cases from over a decade ago? Furthermore, if the contents of Shi Xiaonan's diary are true, the Shi family's actions have violated the law. Please impose severe punishment on them."
"[The sentence about Shi Xiaonan being forced into a desperate situation, killing her pet, and not allowing her to work or create, depriving her of her ability to live freely, is in any way different from intentional homicide? Even if they have already immigrated, please make sure they receive the punishment they deserve!"
As public opinion grew louder, the local police issued a statement in the evening in response, announcing that they would reopen the case of Shi Xiaonan's suicide and the three murders rumored to be caused by "evil spirits." They would definitely clear Shi Xiaonan's name and punish the offenders.
That night, Qianyang fell asleep early.
After all, she is different from ordinary people, and she does not feel deeply about these things. If she is so easily affected by other things, it will hinder her path of cultivation.
Now that the truth had been revealed, Qianyang went to Honglian Square as usual the next morning. Sang Chen was worried about her being alone, so he followed her.
The old men and women received the news in advance and were waiting in the square early.
At half past eight, the two returned home after breakfast.
At nine o'clock, Qianyang started today's live broadcast as usual.
Qianyang opened the Qingning Live APP and was immediately attracted by the bright red opening screen.
[Congratulations to anchor Qianyang for exceeding 15 million fans on the site! ! ! ]
Qianyang raised a brow and entered the homepage.
The theme is decorated with red ribbons, lanterns and firecrackers, making it look like Chinese New Year.
Qianyang flipped through the private message dialog box of administrator 9958 and said in a voice message: "I don't like red."
Administrator 9958: [What color do you like? ]
Qianyang: "Blue."
Administrator 9958: [Received!]
A few minutes later, the splash screen ad changed from festive bright red to smoky blue.
Qianyang nodded with satisfaction and entered his live broadcast room.
【Here it comes! 】
[Congratulations to the anchor for reaching 15 million fans on the site! ]
[It's growing so fast. A few days ago, it was only 5 or 6 million, but in the past few days, it has increased to 10 million followers.]
[How terrifying! The livestream had 25 million views. The platform was worried it couldn't handle it, so they diverted viewers elsewhere. Otherwise, it would definitely be more than 25 million.]
…
[This is so strange. When I logged in half an hour ago, the opening screen and homepage were bright red. How come they suddenly turned smoky blue?]
What's the aesthetic of the Qingning platform? It's not festive at all.
[That's right! Such a happy event, but it was turned into a deadly mess!]
"Dead?" Qian Yang was slightly stunned. "Don't you think it looks good?"
【？ 】
【What's the meaning? 】
Qian Yang said: "Just now, I told the administrator that I don't like red, I like cyan."
【???】
[Anchor, you are this (thumbs up)]
[What the heck? So you said you liked cyan, and the platform immediately changed the site to a cyan color scheme?]
[Good licking...]
[Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter! If it were me, I'd lick it too! Qingning, this rubbish platform, is all thanks to our anchor!]
[There is a kind of new player who encounters a master as soon as he arrives and rises all the way. ]
If I were the boss of Green Lemon, I would change all the app icons to Qianyang.
Administrator 9958: [Master Qianyang, if you like, icons are also possible...]
Qianyang's face darkened, "I don't like it."
Administrator 9958: [(Sighs with regret) Okay QAQ.]
【Hahaha, I can see your regret.】
[It’s so cool, so cool to lead the platform. The anchor can do whatever he wants. ]
Qian Yang said unwillingly: "Isn't this color beautiful?"
[It looks great! ]
[Baby, what are you talking about? This color is so pretty!]
[That's right, who said it's not pretty? It's simply too pretty.]
[It looks good, much better than red. ]
[Hey, who says only the platform is licking the air? The audience is also quite licking the air. Disclaimer: I never said it was bad from the beginning!]
[Is it possible I'm seeing things? This color is the coolest!]
Qianyang nodded and said, "I think it looks good too."
Xie Yan is not online yet, Qianyang is interacting with the audience in the live broadcast room and waiting for her.
[It seems those people in the Shi family have changed their names.]
【Have you found it? 】
Local sources have uncovered evidence that Shi Xiaonan's sister published a novel under a new pen name several years after her death. The writing style and word choice are very similar to the works Shi Xiaonan's sister had ghostwritten.
[Not embarrassed? I remember her book was a huge hit right after it came out because her style was very similar to Shi Xiaonan's later works. She was even nicknamed "Xiao Xiaonan" by the local media.]
[What the hell? Is this Shi Xiaonan's sister?]
After Shi Xiaonan's death, her family discovered several manuscripts under the pretext of sorting through her belongings, and subsequently published them all. However, they no longer had any way to exploit Shi Xiaonan's influence, so if they wanted to make money, they could only change their name.
[Is your real name Xu?]
【Surname Xu?】
Qian Yang frowned inadvertently and said, "Is the director of 'Reenactment' called Xu Zezhi?"
【???】
[What the hell?! ! !]
No way…
【ah? ? ? 】
【Maybe just a coincidence?】
[This makes sense now. Why did the director treat Sister Xie Yan like that?]
Ahhhhhh!
The official account of the "Replay" crew gave a reward to the anchor Qianyang 20 fruit companies.

【？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ ？ 】
[The crew of "Reenactment"? ! ! ! ]
[How much is it???]
[One fruit company costs fifty thousand, twenty companies cost one million, five twenty companies cost...five million?! !]
Crazy?! !
[Qingning made a net profit of 2.5 million? I admit I'm jealous.]
[Is the crew of "Reenactment" beating me? 】
[The official account of the "Replay" crew applied for access to the connection]
Qianyang hesitated for a moment and agreed to the other party's application.
A middle-aged woman wearing a white baseball cap appeared in the camera.
"Hello, Master Qianyang, and hello to everyone in the livestream." The woman greeted them. "I'm Xu Zezhi, the director of 'Reenactment.'"
"At the same time, I am also Shi Xiaoyu, the younger sister of 'Bu Weinan' and Shi Xiaonan."
[Oh shit…]
[Werewolf self-destructs? ! ! ]
[Huh??? Why are there still people asking for trouble?]
[Shit! Killing your sister wasn't enough, you're also trying to capitalize on her fame!]
[You must have deliberately let Sister Xie Yan be possessed, right?]
"What a shame! You've come here with such fanfare. Do you think there's no way to punish you legally?"
[Disgusting! Damn you!]
Qian Yang glanced at the barrage and reminded: "Have you forgotten what I said? Don't curse."
Having said that, Qianyang didn't expect that Xu Zezhi would come to him on her own initiative.
"Hello." Qian Yang responded indifferently.
Xu Zezhi's expression did not change despite the curses and insults in the barrage.
Xu Zezhi smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you all so suddenly. Actually, I wanted to use this platform to say a few words to everyone."
Nowadays, no place on the Internet has a traffic volume comparable to Qianyang’s live broadcast room. It can be said that 90% of the people on the Internet are paying attention to the developments in her live broadcast room.
"What do you want to say?" Qian Yang asked.
Xu Zezhi nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Regarding the fact that Xie Yan was possessed by Shi Xiaonan's ghost, I did know about it and did it on purpose. I apologize."
[Oh my god…]
[Just saying it so eloquently? How fantastical.]
[Do you think that even if you confess, you can't be put in jail without substantial evidence?]
[People like you will get your comeuppance sooner or later! ]
"Early on, I learned about Ms. Xie Yan's experience, so when I was planning to shoot this film, I decided to choose her to play the role of Shi Xiaonan. Everything I did afterwards was to allow Shi Xiaonan's spirit to possess her and star in the film. Later, I learned that her condition had not improved, and I asked several masters I trusted to exorcise her evil spirit. But unfortunately, she was so immersed in the role that even those masters were helpless."
"I hope that after this incident, she can return to her normal life."
"I will compensate Ms. Xie Yan with half of my personal profits from the movie 'Reenactment'."
[Half of my personal income? That's a lot of money!]
"Replay" has already grossed nearly 10 billion yuan at the box office. She'll likely pocket at least several hundred million yuan. Will she give half of that as compensation to Sister Xie Yan?
"So what's wrong? If it weren't for the anchor, Sister Xie Yan might have lost her life! These are just some personal belongings, so I deserve whatever compensation I get."
[It's time to pay! What are you keeping the remaining half for? Pay me back everything!]
Xu Zezhi said, "The remaining half, including part of my own assets, will be donated to children's welfare institutions across the country."
"I hope to make up for the mistakes I made in this life."
"Afterwards, I will release a series of follow-up posts through the official account of 'Replay'."
[…My own assets?]
[Serves you right! You've been eating my sister's blood for so many years.]
【You have some conscience.】
…
[SRDS, can everyone calm down a little and not be blinded by anger?]
[Think about it calmly. It's not just one or two days since Shi's parents have favored sons over daughters. In the past, the two sisters had to share a lion's head. The elder sister later had a hard time, so how could the younger sister's situation be any better?]
My older sister was seventeen when she came out and wrote her first novel. How old was my younger sister then? Only twelve or thirteen, not even in high school yet.
[Ah...was she that young back then? Oh my god, you can only imagine what her parents would do to her!]
Looking at the discussion on the barrage, Xu Zezhi smiled slightly and said, "Compared to my sister's situation, I'm living a good life."
This was the first time she called Shi Xiaonan "sister" in public.
Qian Yang probably guessed what she was going to do, so he didn't say anything to interrupt her.
Although she almost harmed Xie Yan, Qian Yang didn't feel any aversion to her intuitively.
"I've been secretly following what's been happening these past two days. Shi Xiaonan's diary, the first draft of 'Letter,' and even the puppy she picked up—everything is true."
"After she turned eighteen, she was no longer allowed to work outside the home or publish her own works. Apart from her parents' contribution, she lost almost all her financial resources. However, the monthly living allowance her parents gave her was not enough to support herself, and she insisted on living alone. From the age of nineteen to thirty-one, she barely had a full meal and locked herself in her room all day."
"She came to me secretly and showed me her puppy, hoping I could lend her money to treat the puppy's illness."
After so many years, Xu Zezhi's face remained unchanged when talking about these things.
Xu Zezhi continued, "I stole some money from home to give to her. Unfortunately, it was discovered three days later."
"The next thing you know, they killed her puppy."
Qianyang asked, "How old were you then?"
"Twenty-five years old." Xu Zezhi said.
Twelve years have passed since she published her first book under the name Shi Xiaonan. She still used the word "steal" to lend Shi Xiaonan the money for her puppy's medical treatment. One can imagine her situation at the time.
"…Have you ever been to college?"
Xu Zezhi laughed and said, "I didn't go to high school."
【Grass……】
【Ahhhhhhh my mouth is so sloppy. 】
[You won't never go to school again after your parents find out, right?]
[Oh my god... What disgusting parents! I should have thought that my sister is just a front and she's already having such a hard time. How can my sister's situation be any better when she's a real cash cow?]
Didn't Shi Xiaonan write in her diary that her younger sister had excellent grades? Why didn't she let others study...?
Damn these parents!
Xu Zezhi said: "It's nothing. At least I'm still alive and well."
"I just feel like there are some things that everyone already knows."
"Shi Xiaonan committed suicide because of me. At the time, someone was already investigating all the works under her name. A closer look would have revealed that the timeline was off. None of the funds had entered her account. I couldn't have concealed the fact that I was writing for her."
"She didn't die willingly. She was threatened by her parents that if the matter became public, it would cause immeasurable harm to my future. This became the fuse that forced her to die."
Oh my god!
How could there be such a vicious person in the world? This is truly driving Shi Xiaonan to his death!
[Help... These are disgusting parents.]
[Did the two sisters of the Shi family grow up in such a cannibalistic family?]
[How did you get through these years? ]
[A living cash cow, do you think they would give up squeezing out her value because of their eldest daughter's death? ]
Xu Zezhi had no intention of telling them about her experiences over the years. She appeared here today not to defend herself, nor to complain to everyone, but just to confirm Shi Xiaonan's true experiences over the years.
In response to the concerned comments on the barrage, Xu Zezhi simply said: "My presence here means that those things have become a thing of the past."
"Regarding the three people rumored to have died at the hands of a ghost, they all hired killers because they knew I was behind 'Shi Xiaonan.' My father and brother were the ones behind it. I've compiled all the relevant evidence and handed it over to the local police. They were taken to the police station last night. They've committed numerous crimes over the years. I've consulted with a lawyer, and they're likely facing the death penalty for multiple crimes."
Well done!!!
[Sister, you're too fast! ]
Xu Zezhi said, "Things after death will naturally be handled by those who die after them. However, the time span of these cases is too long, so I'm afraid it will take some time to reach a conclusion. I will inform everyone of any subsequent progress. Thank you for your attention."
"However..." Xu Zezhi smiled slightly, "During this period, they probably won't have a very good time."
As for the reason, Xu Zezhi did not say it.
Since she had a way to let Shi Xiaonan's vengeful spirit possess other people, it would be easy for her to use mystical magic to torture one or two people.
"Where is your mother?" Qianyang asked.
Xu Zezhi seems to have never mentioned any trace of her mother.
Xu Zezhi said, "I don't know. She's been missing for two years. Maybe... she's dead?"
"Dead?" Qian Yang looked at her suspiciously, and couldn't help but make a gesture with his hands. He seemed to have sensed something, and his brows furrowed deeper and deeper, looking at Xu Zezhi with a questioning look.
Xu Zezhi is lying.
Xu Zezhi made eye contact with her for a few seconds and said, "Perhaps, she is paying the price for what she did in the first half of her life."
Qianyang looked at her silently. Shi's mother was indeed still alive and was indeed suffering from something extremely painful.
Qian Yang was silent for a few seconds, then said, "There will be retribution."
Xu Zezhi shrugged and said, "Who knows?"
Shi's mother's limbs were not intact and she was locked up in a dark place.
Her father and brother were not in much better condition. Their health had long been depleted. Every night they could see hallucinations of Shi's mother and Shi Xiaonan, and were tortured to the point where their life was worse than death.
Perhaps they will be scared to death before the death penalty is sentenced.
Over the past thirty years, Xu Zezhi's hatred for them has reached an overwhelming level.
"So what are you going to do next?" Qian Yang asked.
Xu Zezhi said, "I don't know. I'll live one day at a time."
Every day she lives longer is a day of torture that Shi's mother will endure.
"Master Qianyang, thank you. I didn't expect the truth about Shi Xiaonan's murder to be revealed so soon. I thought it would take at least ten years for the truth to be gradually revealed to the public."
Qian Yang said, "You're welcome."
"That's all I want to say. Sorry for disturbing you," said Xu Zezhi.
Qian Yang asked, "Aren't you planning to meet Xie Yan?"
Xu Zezhi smiled and said, "Maybe later. For now... forget it."
After saying everything she wanted to say, Xu Zezhi simply ended the connection and exited the live broadcast room.
[Alas, she also first appeared in the public eye two years ago, right?]
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have scolded her. My sister is already in that state. How can her situation be any better?"
[No matter what, it was wrong of her to involve Sister Xie Yan. Even if she is willing to compensate, what does it matter?]
[Ahhh, let those beasts die quickly. Sister Xie Yan and Xu Zezhi can just live their own lives.]
Why doesn't she meet her sister?
[She is closely related to her sister's experience before her death. She probably feels ashamed to meet her sister.]
The news of Xu Zezhi appearing in the live broadcast room was quickly spread by the audience.
Netizens all applauded the final fate of the Shi family of three.
Later, someone asked in the live broadcast room about the whereabouts of Shi's mother, but Qianyang did not say it.
What Xu Zezhi wants to do is none of her business, not to mention that she has already warned her that she will suffer retribution. As for what she will do in the future, Qianyang has no control over it.
Near noon, Xie Yan finally entered the live broadcast room.
Qianyang immediately invited her to join the connection.
After a while, Xie Yan's face appeared on the screen.
"Master Qianyang." Xie Yan nodded at her, "Shi Xiaonan has left."
Qianyang glanced at her, and Shi Xiaonan's shadow had disappeared from her.
"Where is the black dog?" Qianyang asked.
Xie Yan moved the camera downwards. The black dog lay quietly beside her, its body rising and falling, tears welling up in the corners of its eyes, and tear marks were clearly visible on its fur.
Xie Yan gently stroked its fur and explained, "Shi Xiaonan wanted to spend her final time with Shunyi. I just woke up from my body half an hour ago, and she was gone."
"Shunyi has been crying all the time. It hasn't eaten anything since last night."
Now that everything is over, the only thing left to deal with is the black dog in front of him.
Qian Yang looked at its condition and said, "If it continues like this, it will suffocate and die."
【Ahhh, wuwuwu, dear dog, no! 】
[The master is just looking for a new life, you also have to learn to accept your new life! ]
【Be good and live well. 】
[Woo woo woo baby, this dog has been waiting for so long, why is he separated from his owner just after they were reunited?]
[I really can't stand it anymore. Go eat something and don't starve yourself.]
【Maybe I can even meet my master's reincarnation again. 】
Xie Yan, tears in her eyes, said, "Master, what should I do? I can't let Shunyi get into trouble. After all this effort..."
Qianyang asked her to zoom in closer, looking at the heartbroken black dog, whose body was covered with scars of all sizes, and who knew how many times he had been injured and suffered.
"Would you like to follow me?" Qian Yang asked.
"Maybe, one day in the future, I can let you see her again."
