Chapter 40: Sixteen or Seventeen Lives?



Netizens were extremely dissatisfied and criticized the production team for their inhumane behavior.

[Don't you want to look at what you're saying? What Jiang Si did is no less impressive than telling jokes or singing. Saving a life is worth hundreds or thousands of acts of kindness, let alone just one.]

I'm truly amazed by this sixth person's outcome.

Why don't you just ignore what you're saying in the rest of the matches?

Does Xiang Zhiyi really have the nerve to accept this award? Isn't it a hot potato?

[The person who dragged the whole thing down got an award. Fine, this is the show's way of doing things. They'll have to bear the consequences.]

Even Xiang Zhiyi's fans felt it was a bit unfair for her to receive this award, but the award was given by the program team, so what did it have to do with their little fairy Zhiyi?!

[Some people can take this opportunity to criticize; it was given to them by the production team, so if you want to criticize them, go criticize the production team.]

[Xiang Zhiyi is just a minor celebrity. The production team used her as a scapegoat to protect their own reputation. How low!]

Don't curse my sister, curse the dog-eating production team instead.

[No, what do you want Xiang Zhiyi to do? Push the award away? Offend the production team? Just say you want to force her to leave the entertainment industry.]

Jiang Si was quite dedicated; she even added props to make her perfect lips look like sausage lips, and then she grinned wickedly, revealing a row of white teeth.

The live photo broadcast trended on the hot list.

#Celebrity Go Go Go Jiang Si Makes a Funny Face#

Several more posts followed her.

#Jiang Si bravely saves a teenage girl#

#Jiang Si's Divine Smile#

...

She was involved in five or six trending topics in a row.

Her post attracted a lot of people to join in the team-building activities below.

Is that what you call a funny face? That's clearly my husband's face!

Honey, you don't have to be so honest.

[Ahhh, I'm begging you to play Guanyin!]

Although your acting was a bit exaggerated, it felt like you were playing Guanyin naturally.

[Waaaa, my husband is so handsome!]

[Honey, I've prepared a dowry worth hundreds of millions. When are you going to marry me?]

Jiang Si frowned. She understood what it meant to call someone a wife, but why would someone call someone a husband?

She asked Qi Yan, "I'm clearly a woman, so why do they call me husband?"

Qi Yan was also a minor contributor, receiving quite a bit of food. Licking his popsicle, he glanced at Jiang Si's face again and said, "Maybe you look like a man?"

As a mouse, he didn't really understand human aesthetics. Aren't we all just two eyes, a nose, and a mouth? What's the difference?

Jiang Si rolled her eyes, feeling that there was really nothing to talk about with a mouse.

She picked one of the replies: "I admit I'm beautiful, but women can't be husbands, please be aware."

This arrogant yet serious demeanor made the fans burst into laughter.

My husband is so cute!

[Husband, no, wife, look at me, have you prepared the betrothal gifts?]

Husband, I will marry no one but you in this life.

...

Jiang Si was speechless; these people must be possessed.

I wonder if any of them are the same people who criticized her back then.

That sucks.

However, she didn't have time to care about that now; her small room was filled with more than a dozen wronged souls.

It was Jiang Si who retrieved it; otherwise, with their intense hatred, they might have stormed into the police station and been utterly destroyed by those righteous spirits.

They are pitiful too. For so many years, they have been thinking about revenge every day, and they have been weakened by the golden Buddha statue on Liu Daneng's body.

If it happens again, we're finished.

The wronged souls wept blood; it was their good fortune that they didn't become vengeful ghosts.

If they become vengeful ghosts and cause innocent people to die unjustly, they will not have a good time in the underworld.

Another thing is that Jiang Si discovered that these people had been cursed and could only stay by Liu Daneng's side.

Whether in life or in death, I must stay by the side of such a beast.

"Do you remember when I found you, you were absorbing resentment?" Jiang Si sneered, "So this was also the work of your mastermind."

Perhaps the fact that the case hasn't been uncovered for so many years is due to a scheme orchestrated by someone behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, Qi Yan lost all his memories during the time he was controlled, otherwise Jiang Si would have really wanted to smash that person's head in.

Liu Daneng was detained at the Public Security Bureau.

Under the powerful offensive, Liu Daneng struggled for a short while before revealing the location where the body was buried.

A total of sixteen bodies were found, the earliest dating back 20 years and the most recent one dating back six months.

They were between 20 and 30 years old and had all suffered inhumane abuse before their deaths. Most of them died from infections caused by the abuse, which meant they were essentially left to die.

The detective in charge of the case clenched his fists as he looked at the three rows of bodies laid out.

Such a beast deserves to die eighteen times over.

Liu Daneng's case, because it was broadcast live, had already attracted widespread attention from all sectors of society, and the police were under great pressure.

Responding to public concerns is their duty.

The next day, the police issued a statement saying that sixteen bodies had been found at the scene of the crime, and the case is still under further investigation.

The announcement immediately went viral, followed by a bright red "Explosive" label.

Netizens initially thought it was just a typical case of trafficking in women and children, but they never imagined it would lead to such a serious murder case.

Sixteen lives lost! Why wasn't this person killed on the spot?!

Living even a second longer is a disrespect to the victim!

What's the point of investigating this kind of person? Just let them die!

[I'm serious, I want the death penalty done right now!]

[It's said that the earliest one was killed almost 20 years ago. 20 years! Her family doesn't even know if she's still alive. They might still think she's alive somewhere on Earth, but when they return, she's just a skeleton. Such scum deserves to be torn to pieces!]

[The death penalty was too lenient on him. Prison conditions these days are incredibly good; even executions would be considered a violation of human rights. Why should our great nation of China abolish corporal punishment? He died easily, but what about those who died tragically at his hands?]

...

Jiang Si naturally saw the uproar online.

She looked at her brow and counted the wronged souls lurking here. There were clearly seventeen, so why was the report only showing sixteen corpses?

Could someone have sneaked in?

Impossible, these were all taken back on the spot next to Liu Daneng.

Qi Yan said, "I guess he buried the first one he killed somewhere else."

These wronged souls are already in a daze, sustained only by a surge of hatred. They probably don't even remember how they died, let alone where they were buried.

Liu Daneng is currently under interrogation.

He confessed to killing sixteen people.

At this point, he suddenly gave a strange laugh, feeling a strange sense of satisfaction.

That was the first person he tortured and killed. To this day, he still remembers the fear in her eyes and her pleas for him. Such a proud and aloof person even lived a lowly life for him just to survive. When she died, the light slowly fading from her eyes was the most beautiful color he had ever seen in his life. There was no threat, only submission to him.

But that woman can never be found again.

If he can't find her, it means she will always belong to him.

He forced a smile, a surge of excitement rising within him.
