☆, Chapter 61: Unfit to be a Mother
Unfortunately, the boy overlooked a crucial issue. He and his sister were too young. For an adult, a minor cold or a common fever wouldn't be a big deal. But for them, who had endured beatings and mental torture, this physical fragility could be enough to kill them.
"Mom, mom, I beg you, please save our daughter. I'm kneeling down in front of you. Please save our daughter, she's dying!" The boy knelt on the ground, his head bleeding. But he couldn't sway the cold and vicious woman in front of him.
He knew his adoptive mother wished he and his sister would disappear from this world immediately. But even so, given his current situation, the only person he could plead with was the demon before him.
"You want to save your sister, right? Okay, I'll give you money." To the boy's surprise, the adoptive mother actually took out money from her wallet.
"Thank you, I will definitely repay you." The boy was ecstatic, but his adoptive mother's next words made him feel cold.
"You can only go through the window."
This is the sixth floor. At a glance, the cars downstairs are only the size of a palm. If he really jumped, not only would he not be able to find a doctor or buy medicine for his daughter, he would also be dead.
"Why?" the boy asked his adoptive mother silently, his eyes red. He simply couldn't understand why there was such a mother in the world. He returned to his room in a daze, hugged his sister in his arms, and felt like the sky had fallen.
Later, the girl continued to have a high fever and began to talk nonsense. The woman finally felt guilty and took her to the hospital. But after that, the sister never came back. Only her soul returned.
She was abused to death by her own mother and was filled with resentment. Her only thought was revenge.
"That kind of woman doesn't deserve to have my daughter's hands stained with blood." The boy was completely mad, and just as he was trying to stop his sister, he suddenly remembered something. In fact, when he came home from school on the first day and tried to stop his adoptive mother from hurting his sister, he had been beaten to death.
In that case, what else does he need to worry about?
He tortured his adoptive mother in various ways, watching her go from panic to fear and finally to madness. Every day she went crazy over an adopted son who could never be killed.
Later, her husband, who had returned home early after receiving the news of their children's death, discovered her secret. During an argument, she accidentally killed her beloved and then collapsed and committed suicide.
The scene replay ended here, and everyone in the room held their breath and didn't know what to say. It was not until a long time later that the first person to react cursed "Fuck, what a beast!"
"It's such a blessing for this grandson to die like this." Everyone couldn't suppress the anger in their hearts.
The terrifying scenes in the mirror at the beginning disappeared, leaving only a handsome and shy little boy holding a timid little girl's hand.
Yu Jiuyin sighed and walked forward.
"If a ghost has taken a human life, it cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation."
"I know." The boy's eyes were filled with tears. "My sister doesn't have it. Can you..."
Yu Jiuyin nodded, "Okay."
"Thank you." The boy reached out and hugged the girl. "My daughter is very well behaved and has never done anything wrong. All the bad things are my fault."
He closed his eyes and pushed the girl to Yu Jiuyin. Then, he stood in front of Yu Jiuyin and asked, "Can I send Nannan away and then disappear?"
His tone was full of pleading, and at this moment the little girl in Yu Jiuyin's arms also burst into tears.
"Brother, brother"
With just a few shouts, even the five subordinates under Rongqing who thought they were tough guys had red eyes from crying.
Yu Jiuyin didn't say anything. He reached out and touched the little boy's head. The copper coin formation in his hand changed into a small spirit purification formation.
As he pushed the girl in, the resentment in her body quickly disappeared, and at the same time, her body gradually became lighter.
"No, I won't go, brother." She wanted to get out and walked desperately towards the boy.
"Nannan, be obedient and go to paradise. Daddy is there and your brother will be there soon. Just be obedient." This was obviously a lie. His hands were already stained with blood and he had lost the qualification to go to paradise. He said this only because he hoped his sister could go without regrets.
But the little girl was too young after all, and she couldn't understand the boy's white lie. When she heard that her brother would be here soon, she finally calmed down.
The little girl's body gradually faded and finally disappeared.
The boy stood before Yu Jiuyin with his eyes closed, awaiting his own judgment. If a vicious ghost committed evil, the Ghost Dao Heavenly Master could shatter its soul.
However, to his surprise, what was placed before him was a soul-calming talisman.
"You don't kill me"
"No, there are other cases that require your assistance. For example, your previous identity. You need to explain in detail the matter between you and your previous adoptive father, Wang Zhenjun."
"That's right, I'm afraid you will have to go with us." Rongqing agreed with Yu Jiuyin.
The boy stared at the two of them for a while, then bowed and said seriously, "Thank you." Then he voluntarily sealed himself in the soul-calming talisman, tacitly acknowledging that he and Wang Zhenjun had a relationship.
Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. They had finally found the key clue.
"Let's go." The case was solved, and Rongqing walked back with Yu Jiuyin. Unexpectedly, as soon as they went downstairs, they saw the deputy guarding Rongqing's car and other subordinates who had been persuaded by him and had opinions about Rongqing.
Rongqing doesn't care about "what to do".
"Team leader, I hope you can change your mind." With the support of many colleagues, the deputy became confident.
Rong Qing looked at him for a moment, "Zhao Chang, I won't change my decision. As for you..." Rong Qing paused, "If you share Zhao Chang's opinion, you can follow him now. I told you on the first day I took you there, I don't want idiots in my group who just follow the crowd and can't tell right from wrong."
"Team leader, aren't you unable to distinguish right from wrong? You clearly know how Brother Chang's father died," one of the subordinates couldn't help but argue.
"So just because his father died, he can slander others at will."
"How can you slander Brother Chang? He saw it with his own eyes. There is also a fake team leader. How could you be deceived by him?" The other people had been brainwashed by Zhao Chang and relied on their courage to refute Rongqing.
"We're still on the scene, so let's keep our mouths shut for now. We'll discuss this with the team later." The five subordinates who had come into the room to assist Yu Jiuyin glanced at Rongqing with some concern. Yu Jiuyin's treatment of the siblings earlier had left them deeply unconvinced that he was the kind of person Zhao Chang claimed he was. Therefore, the five couldn't help but intervene.
Seeing this, Zhao Chang couldn't help but sneer, "How long has it taken for you to be blinded? But it's normal. He was already seducing people when he was a teenager, especially men. Now..."
Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by a hand clasping his neck. Then, a huge force threw him out, slamming him hard against a nearby car door.
There was a loud bang, and the pain in his back made him groan. As for the others, they were all shocked and silent, not daring to say a word.
Without a doubt, it was Rong Qing who had made the move. Speaking of which, the reason Rong Qing was able to intimidate these people, besides his aura, was most importantly his strength. Even though Rong Qing never intervened in the group's trivial matters, only approaching them when there was a case or something they needed to investigate, these people still held him in awe.
However, this reverence gradually changed under the influence of selfishness and habit. Especially for a monkey king like Zhao Chang, who had been looking after Rongqing's internal affairs for a few years, he really thought he was a piece of cake.
Now, after recovering from his shock, he pointed at Rong Qing and cursed, "Why are you doing this to me? I'm going to report this to the higher-ups when I get back. Rong Qing, you're just a figurehead team leader. If Luo Qiu hadn't insisted on bringing you into the team, you would have been thrown out of the lab long ago. You're not even considered a human being, you young master of the Rong family?"
As he finished speaking, a terrifying feeling suddenly overwhelmed him. Zhao Chang shuddered, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. His heart felt as if a large hand was gripping it, ready to burst in the next second.
Then, he suddenly felt severe pain all over his body, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees in front of Rongqing.
"Go on, tell me what you think of Rongrong. I'm listening." Yu Jiuyin bent down and looked Zhao Chang in the eye. The smile on his lips was lazy, but it made people feel uneasy. In his hand, he had a doll, and a silver needle was casually inserted into the doll's heart.
"I haven't seen you for a few years. Your brain is getting worse and worse. If you can't remember, I'll help you recall. Zhao Chang, do you still remember how your father died?"
Yu Jiuyin said as he thrust another silver needle in with his backhand. Zhao Chang howled and rolled on the ground in pain.
"You're going too far. How can a Heavenly Master cast a curse?" Someone recognized what Yu Jiuyin was holding in his hand.
"Why can't I use it?" Yu Jiuyin sneered and looked around. "The Special Case Investigation Team can recruit a bunch of heartless bastards to protect citizens. What's the point of me, a Heavenly Master, using the magic of exorcism?"
"Don't slander me." Yu Jiuyin's words scolded everyone present and he immediately became the target of public criticism.
But Yu Jiuyin showed no fear at all. He stabbed the paper puppet with a silver needle in his hand and raised the pitch slightly.
"Stop smearing me, I'm slandering you. You're just bullying Rongrong because she's so gentle. And what about you guys going through life and death together for five or six years? That's a fucking joke. I won't ask anything else, I'll just ask you, you went through life and death together, why did all of you losers come back fine from the case six months ago, but only Rongrong's leg was broken?"
""
"And the Rong family. Rongrong was out on a case and didn't have time to look after the Rong family. How dare you say he didn't ask you to look after them? I've checked. During Rong Kan's first few years in City B, someone was watching him. Later, because the people watching him stopped coming, he indulged himself and killed the wife of the man next door, which eventually led to the serial murders. How dare you say you didn't incite this?"
There was a deathly silence, because everything Yu Jiuyin said was true. However, Yu Jiuyin had no intention of letting them go, and his next words were even more full of irony.
"You knew Rong Kan had problems, but you accepted the order without giving him a good look. Rong Rong's life and death were uncertain abroad, and when the incident broke out, all public opinion was implying that he, the heir, was negligent, and some even insinuated that Rong Rong was bullying others by taking advantage of his power. Aren't these things caused by you?"
"A bunch of giant babies who don't even know how to be grateful, they only follow behind Rongrong and accept his protection. What qualifications do you have to blame him? As for handling internal affairs, isn't that your job? Why should you let him stand in front of you and bleed, and then come back to clean up your mess? Do you think the whole world is your real father?"
Yu Jiuyin rarely gets angry.
When Zhao Chang first met him and started scolding him, Yu Jiuyin had played along and playedfully passed it off. He had also not refuted them when they had been trying to sow discord at the door. Even just now, when they had pointed their fingers at him and scolded him, he hadn't shown any sign of anger. But now, he had suddenly become furious, simply because he had scolded Rongqing.
Many people lowered their heads with red faces, and Zhao Chang was even more embarrassed after being scolded. But he hated Yu Jiuyin so much that he had to speak out even if it offended Rongqing.
"The whole world is not my biological father, but you killed my father"
"Yes, so you are not afraid that I will kill you." Yu Jiuyin pouted as he inserted the last silver needle into the puppet's heart. This time, Zhao Chang couldn't even scream and fainted directly.
As for the others, they didn't even dare to breathe.
Yu Jiuyin glanced at them one by one, his cold gaze making people feel numb. He turned around and pushed Rong Qing's wheelchair, muttering, "Don't beg for mercy from these idiots when you go home." Then he called his secretary, who had been standing there in a daze after seeing him get angry, to drive back to Rong's house.
"What special case investigation team, what Rong family, I would say just ignore them, come with me to the haunted house, I will support you." Yu Jiuyin was obviously younger than Rong Qing, so he said whatever he wanted when he was anxious.
Although his tone was still cold, he felt warm holding Rongqing's hand.
Jiuyin is a person who always pokes people's hearts and softens them at the most critical moment. Rongqing shook his head helplessly, held Yu Jiuyin's hand and pulled him down, "Do you think I am a bell?"
"Ah" Yu Jiuyin didn't understand.
Rong Qing sighed again, took out his phone and made a call. A short while later, Zhao Chang was taken away. As for where he was taken, it went without saying that it wasn't a good place.
After all, how could Rongqing bear to see Yu Jiuyin angry about Rongqing? As for Zhao Chang's claim that Yu Jiuyin killed his father, Rongqing saw it as either a fabricated accusation or some serious reason Yu Jiuyin hadn't spoken about. Or perhaps, Yu Jiuyin was simply trying to save face for Zhao Chang's family.
Just like that, halfway through the case, the two of them quit and went home.
In the car, Rong Qing had no intention of asking about Yu Jiuyin's past. And Yu Jiuyin remained silent.
There was silence for a long while, and finally it was Yu Jiuyin who broke the silence. He tilted his head and looked at Rong Qing and suddenly said, "It was indeed me who killed Zhao Chang's father."
"Yeah." Rong Qing covered Yu Jiuyin with a blanket and signaled him to sleep for a while on the way.
“You don’t even ask me why.”
"What do you want me to ask?" Rong Qing sighed, "Jiuyin, don't take the blame if it's not your fault. Whether Zhao Chang can survive, and whether Zhao Chang's father can save his face, none of this has anything to do with you."
In fact, Rongqing could roughly guess what the so-called past events were without Yu Jiuyin telling her.
Zhao Chang's father, in fact, was originally a member of the Special Case Investigation Team. About ten years ago, a bizarre case involving a zither string murder occurred, and Zhao Chang's father was the person in charge of the case. The case was later solved, with rumors swirling that it was a ghostly attack. However, Zhao Chang's father died in the line of duty.
But when Rongqing looked through the case files at that time, he found that the descriptions were very vague. There was only one sentence in the forensic report that said that after Zhao Chang's father died in the line of duty, he was immediately sent for cremation, and there was not even time to say goodbye to the body.
Rong Qing was no fool, so he could naturally guess the reason. Generally speaking, anything sent directly for cremation wouldn't be considered auspicious. So the truth was simple: Zhao Chang's father was likely the murderous ghost himself, robbing the company and being caught by Yu Jiuyin.
Rongqing could imagine what Yu Jiuyin was like as a child, probably the kind of playful and soft-hearted person who would take any small animal home. When encountering such a thing, she would intervene if she could.
As for why he accepted the charges brought against him by Zhao Chang, Rong Qing lowered his head and looked at Yu Jiuyin lying on his legs.
Yu Jiuyin blinked and muttered, "Zhao Chang was too young at that time." How could he tell him that your father was attacked by the ghost and turned into a murderer?
Rong Qing understood what he hadn't said, and frowned even deeper, "But you seem to have forgotten that Zhao Chang is seven years older than you." He is too young, and what about you?
"Yu Jiuyin was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to answer. After a while, Yu Jiuyin tugged at Rongqing's sleeve and asked, "Rongrong, are you angry?"
"Yeah." Angry that you don't care about yourself. Rongqing's expression was very serious, but when it fell into Yu Jiuyin's eyes, it warmed his heart.
"Then I'll comfort you, so don't be angry." Yu Jiuyin pulled down Rongqing's collar, raised his head and kissed Rongqing on the side of his face, then lay back down, put his arms around Rongqing's waist, rubbed against him, and muttered nonchalantly, "Oh, how come your skin is more tender than a little girl's."
"" Rong Qing was completely helpless, "I heard all the Jiuyin."
"What did you hear? I feel dizzy and can't open my eyes. Rongrong, please hug me."
Rongqing really couldn't do anything about him. Yu Jiuyin's words might sound unreasonable at first, but it was also true that he couldn't bear it anymore. In the end, Rongqing only held out for two seconds before finally hugging him tightly and covering him with the blanket. Yu Jiuyin's face, pressed against Rongqing's chest, a beautiful curve at the corner of his lips.
The driver and secretary in front looked at each other and kept silent throughout the whole process. They all felt as if they were being fed dog food.
Just like that, the little episode about the past between the two of them quickly passed. After dinner, Yu Jiuyin summoned the boy out, intending to ask him about the Wang family.
But to his surprise, this question revealed a huge secret. Who would have thought that the so-called victim was actually the real perpetrator?
The jade token in Liang Liang's hand was not something that the Wang family dug out from the ground, but a disaster that Wang Zhenjun figured out himself.
