Chapter 63 I am guilty, please lock me up!
Jiang Honghui initially thought that even if the Special Management Bureau for Supernatural Events had no evidence proving he had harmed anyone, they wouldn't be able to do anything to him as long as he refused to admit it. As for his worship of evil gods, since no one had died, it was just a superstitious act on his part, and the Special Management Bureau could only give him a verbal lecture.
Unexpectedly, after questioning him several times, the people from the Special Management Bureau actually told him that there was indeed no evidence to prove that he was involved in the murder. In that case, he could leave.
As he stood up and prepared to leave the interrogation room, the man kindly reminded him, "The evil god isn't dead, but it's been severely damaged and needs a large amount of vitality and blood to recover quickly. While we don't know what this evil god is, based on our experience handling so many cases involving evil gods, we know that evil gods are extremely vindictive."
Another interrogator nodded in agreement. "In the last case involving the evil god, a follower of the evil god had only one son for three generations. He himself was middle-aged and still had no children. He had worshipped the evil god for a long time, and the evil god had blessed him with great wealth and status. But unexpectedly, the evil god set his sights on the fat son that his wife had just given birth to after great difficulty and risked her life. He didn't want to see the evil god, so he found a Taoist priest to kill him. The evil god was injured and fled. The follower thought he could escape by taking his wife and son abroad. But he didn't expect the evil god to be so vindictive that he chased him abroad and ate his entire family alive."
"Oh, this case. Although I'm not the one handling it, I've heard quite a few details. I heard they started eating from the feet. The people were still alive, watching themselves and their loved ones being eaten bit by bit. The scene was bloody and scary."
Jiang Honghui froze in place. He had been so stubborn before because he believed the evil god was dead.
But if the evil god is not dead but just seriously injured, he will never let go of this traitor who betrayed the evil god.
He sat back in his seat silently, finally willing to cooperate, but before that he put forward a condition: he wanted to meet Gu Yunshuang.
Gu Yunshuang agreed. When he was about to push the door to enter the interrogation room, Qi Yue stopped him and said impatiently, "What's so good about seeing this old man? He's just an ordinary person. He might not know much. There's no need to waste too much time on him. I think we should just throw him back. Then I'll take people to guard him in secret. When the evil god comes to devour him and his family, it will be the time when the evil god is most relaxed. Then I'll take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack and kill the evil god to eliminate the trouble forever. As for the life and death of his family, there's no need to worry about it. He has so many sins on his shoulders, he deserves to die."
Gu Yunshuang was very hesitant: "But his wife and Jiang Mingshuang are innocent, right? Although they are not good people, at least they have never killed anyone."
Qi Yue: "Okay, make sure to save them when the time comes. As for Jiang Honghui, if he dies, he dies. It's his karma."
The sound of their conversation reached inside the door, and Jiang Honghui's whole body stiffened. What frightened him even more was that after the two interrogators looked at each other, they actually started to pack up their things, as if they were about to leave and not continue the interrogation.
Jiang Honghui finally panicked: "Wait, don't you want to know more about the evil god?"
One of the interrogators smiled and said, "We want to know about the evil god so that he can continue to harm innocent people. We want to eliminate him as soon as possible. But now that Qi Yue is personally on guard, it doesn't matter whether we know his information or not."
Jiang Honghui: "How can you be so sure that the evil god will come to me first and not to others?"
"You probably don't know, right? Evil gods are very picky. Not everyone can become their sacrifice. Why are those evil gods so keen on finding believers and helping them fulfill their wishes? Of course, it's not just for the faith power of a few believers, but to fatten up the believers and then slaughter them."
"In fact, in the eyes of the evil gods, the blood sacrifices you provide are just appetizers. The believers who have been nurtured and strengthened by their luck are the real feast. When ordinary people are seriously ill or injured, they would think of slaughtering the old hens they have raised for a long time to replenish their body. How much more so for the evil gods?"
"Aren't you the fattest hen he's raised the longest? Who else should he kill if not you? Oh, we've talked too much. It's past the time to get off work. Hurry up, go, go, don't delay us from getting off work. I won't work overtime!"
Jiang Honghui: “…”
Jiang Honghui refused to leave, "How can you do this! Aren't you public officials and servants of the people? It is your duty to protect the lives and property of the people. You can't just ignore me!"
The two interrogators, one on each side, grabbed his arms and dragged him out of the Special Management Bureau. "Ah, right, right, we are public servants, so we can't wrongly accuse any good person. Since you're innocent and have no connection to the evil god, there's no need to detain you. You should be released soon. There's nothing wrong with that."
When he was about to be dragged to the gate, Jiang Honghui suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and the hairs on his body stood up. The closer he got to the gate, the more he felt the fear that something was staring at him.
He finally got scared and shouted, "Wait, I'll tell you! I'm guilty. Please continue to detain and interrogate me. I'll tell you everything. And I'm not the most favored follower of the evil god. That master is the one! He should be the most valuable old hen to the evil god. Let's wait for him and use him as bait. We will definitely lure the evil god out!"
The two interrogators stopped in their tracks, and in tacit agreement, they turned him around and dragged him to the interrogation room. They threatened with a smile, "If you want to talk, tell us everything honestly. If you delay our time any longer, we'll throw you out."
Jiang Honghui didn't dare to hide it anymore and immediately told everything about the master.
This expert was none other than Jiang Mingshuang's biological father, Zhao Qiu.
What no one expected was that Jiang Honghui started worshiping the evil god after Gu Yunshuang was kidnapped and disappeared.
Under the interrogator's skillful questioning and the threat of being thrown out as bait to catch the evil god, Jiang Honghui had to confess many things.
In order to compete with him for the position of heir, his cousin plotted against him and had him tricked into going to a casino. He had him drink drugged wine by mistake and took photos to show to Mr. Jiang.
The Jiang family had fallen on hard times during the generation of Mr. Jiang's father. He became addicted to gambling and drugs, squandering the family fortune and attempting to sell his wife, children, and daughters to buy drugs. He ultimately died of a drug overdose.
The Jiang family's current fortune was built by Mr. Jiang through his own hard work. That's why he particularly hates gambling and drugs.
If anyone in the Jiang family dared to touch any of these things, he would ruthlessly expel them from the Jiang family. Jiang Honghui's father was beaten and kicked out of the Jiang family by Old Master Jiang because he was addicted to gambling. Later, even when he died of illness outside, no one was allowed to see him. He was extremely ruthless.
No matter how strong Jiang Honghui was, no matter how much he had been favored by the old man, with such a biological father in front of him, and after the old man saw these photos, it was like gold dropped into the toilet, either it was shit or shit. Especially since his medical report found drug content.
Mr. Jiang was so angry that he suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. The first thing he did when he woke up was to change his will.
Jiang Honghui was also ambitious and had bribed the lawyers close to Mr. Jiang. Therefore, the second will was replaced.
Mr. Jiang’s death was not an accident, it was done by his cousin.
After the cousin knew that Mr. Jiang had changed his will, he was afraid that Mr. Jiang would be disgusted with him after knowing the truth, so he took action.
Jiang Honghui just watched from the dark, doing nothing, and watched helplessly as Mr. Jiang, who once loved him very much, died.
He insisted that his cousin's death was an accident.
As for why he was so cold towards his own son, it was because when he was in charge of the Jiang family and thought he could sleep soundly, he suddenly discovered that his one-year-old son seemed to be very afraid of him.
He and Xu Qingya were married for love. They were also very much looking forward to having a child to continue their bloodline, so they had thought a lot about the child's name before they got pregnant, and "Jiang Mingshuang" was indeed their favorite name.
It's just that this child didn't come at the right time. Xu Qingya was already preparing to retire from the entertainment industry and stay home to prepare for pregnancy. Suddenly, she received an invitation from a major international director to play a crucial supporting role in a new drama. The role would have just as much screen time as the lead actress, and her characterization would be even more remarkable. Furthermore, the director's new drama was aiming for international awards.
Xu Qingya was very excited. After becoming a domestic film queen, she also wanted to break into the international arena. This time was a good opportunity.
However, not long after filming began, she fainted on the set and was diagnosed with pregnancy.
The baby is almost four months old. The upcoming scenes all involve intense fighting scenes, and the director is very strict about not allowing them to use a body double. Given Qingya's physical condition, she simply couldn't act.
Xu Qingya considered having an abortion, but the doctor told her her health was too poor for an abortion and recommended giving birth to the baby, saying it would be more harmful to her body. She wouldn't be able to recover without nursing for several months, and she wouldn't be able to film. The crew also couldn't afford to give her several months to recover.
In the end, she had no choice but to terminate her contract with the crew and go home to take care of her pregnancy.
At first she could comfort herself that at least this was the child she and her husband had been looking forward to, but it just came at the wrong time.
But when she was tortured by morning sickness, her body became out of shape day by day. Even if she walked on the street without any disguise, no one could recognize her as the famous movie queen Xu Qingya. After ten months of pregnancy, the fetus was still not moving and was reluctant to be born. When it was almost eleven months, it was finally time to give birth. The fetus was too big and the difficult delivery almost took her life. She had to have a caesarean section. After giving birth, her body took a long time to recover its original slimness. There was a very ugly scar on her belly, and her face even became more and more haggard and old.
Her old rival, whom she once looked down upon and was far behind, became an international star because she took over her role and even won the Best Supporting Actress Award.
All her expectations and love for her child turned into hatred.
She felt that the arrival of this child had ruined everything for her. She didn't even want to look at him, didn't want to ask a single question, and didn't allow the nanny to appear in front of her with the child.
Although Jiang Honghui knew that the child was not to be blamed, he understood the hatred and unwillingness in Xu Qingya's heart, so he did not try to persuade her. He just took the child with him whenever he had time, thinking that since the child could not get maternal love, he would compensate the child with more paternal love.
The child was also very smart. Just over a year old, he could walk and talk, even calling out to people in a sweet voice. He never cried or made a fuss. He was very close to him and very dependent on him. His clear, bright eyes seemed to see right through people's hearts. Everyone who saw him praised him for raising the child well.
Jiang Honghui felt honored after hearing these compliments and liked to keep his children with him even more.
It was not until the child suddenly became distant from him that he realized something was wrong. He thought the child was being bullied in a place where he couldn't see, so he went to check the surveillance footage. When he did, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that because the old man loved this great-grandson very much, he often brought the child to the hospital when the old man was hospitalized. The old man was very indifferent to him, but he still allowed him in for the sake of this most beloved great-grandson.
On the day his grandfather passed away, he knew his cousin would take action, so he went to the hospital with his child, as usual, under the pretext of going to accompany his grandfather. As he watched through the crack in the door coldly as his cousin tried to piss off his grandfather in the ward, his son stood behind him, watching him quietly, and also saw what was happening in the ward through the gap between his feet.
In the office, he called his cousin's enemy and told him his cousin's location. When he watched coldly through the surveillance video as his cousin was hit and killed by his enemy's car, he thought his son who was sleeping in the lounge was standing behind him quietly, watching him.
From then on, he could no longer look directly into his son's pure and clear eyes. Every time he looked into those eyes, he seemed to see his own sinful self in the clear reflection.
He was so scared that he ran away, leaving his son back to the nanny, and then ignored him.
It was not until a year later that they suddenly received a ransom call from the kidnappers and learned that the nanny had conspired with his friends to kidnap his son.
And because of their negligence, they didn't notice that their son was abused by the nanny for nearly a year.
At that time, the Jiang family was facing a great difficulty. Xu Qingya had finally recovered and regained her original youthful beauty, and was about to make a comeback in the entertainment industry.
At this time, they absolutely could not afford any scandal, especially a scandal involving their son's abuse and kidnapping by the nanny due to their long-term neglect of him.
They had been preparing for their respective careers for so long, they would definitely allow it to fail at this point.
Perhaps it was because they had been ignoring their son for a long time that their feelings for him became almost null. In such a situation, the first thing they thought of was not to call the police, not to spread the news, and not to confirm that it was their son who was kidnapped.
So they came up with a bad idea and went to the orphanage to find a chubby two-year-old child to pretend to be their son.
So that's when the couple went to the orphanage to look for the child.
But how could there be such a coincidence in the world that when they need it, there will be a chubby two-year-old child waiting for them to adopt?
After searching in vain, Zhao Qiu took the initiative to come to the door.
Zhao Qiu gave his son to them on the condition that they treat his son as their own son and replace everything that belonged to their own son.
Jiang Honghui realized something was wrong and after asking about it, he learned about the evil god. Jiang Mingshuang was actually the vessel that Zhao Qiu had prepared for the evil god.
If he were to replace Jiang Honghui's biological son and be raised for twenty years with the Jiang family's luck, he would become the evil god's favorite vessel and be able to summon the evil god more easily.
Since the evil god used the body of his own son, he had a causal relationship with him. The evil god would protect him to a greater extent, and it is said that he could even make him immortal and greatly increase his strength.
As the evil god's adoptive father, Jiang Honghui will naturally receive generous rewards.
Jiang Honghui was very tempted, so he followed Zhao Qiu to worship the evil god and became a follower of the evil god.
The evil god indeed granted his every wish. All opponents who stood in his way would suffer various accidents and could no longer stop him. The Jiang family's business also flourished under his management.
Human ambitions tend to expand. Jiang Honghui gradually grew dissatisfied, wanting a son of the evil god himself. He had researched metaphysics over the years, learning that the so-called "nourishment" of a person's upbringing was lost after a body was taken over. Blood ties, however, were the causal connection that ensured the body's continued existence.
So he came up with an idea and used his own son to replace Jiang Mingshuang as the vessel of the evil god.
So three years ago, after years of neglecting his own son, he finally asked someone to check on his son's condition.
Since Mr. and Mrs. Gu did not withdraw the case, the information left at the police station was easily found.
After finding the person, Jiang Honghui began to think about how to make his biological son return and replace his adopted son as the vessel of the evil god.
But he only had a vague understanding of the evil god's affairs, and something went wrong, angering the evil god who cursed him.
He panicked and went to Zhao Qiu for help. Zhao Qiu used some unknown method to transfer the evil god's curse to Gu Yunshuang's adoptive father, Gu Ba.
The price Zhao Qiu paid for helping him was to have Jiang Mingshuang completely replace his own son's fate. Because his own son's fate was too good, if this fate added to it, the evil god would be even more satisfied with this vessel.
Jiang Honghui didn't dare to act recklessly anymore and could only follow Zhao Qiu's instructions.
The reason why they wanted to smear and suppress Gu Yunshuang was indeed because they were afraid that someone would discover the truth about why they abandoned Gu Yunshuang through her appearance.
Later, Jiang Mingshuang's identity was exposed, and Jiang Honghui once again thought of recognizing Gu Yunshuang and making him the vessel of the evil god.
As for Xu Qingya, she knew nothing about the evil god. She just followed Jiang Honghui's orders. She also simply hated her biological children and liked adopted children. In her opinion, her biological children were there to bring her bad luck, while her adopted children were there to bring her good luck.
In the next room, Gu Yunshuang listened to Jiang Honghui's words in silence without any reaction.
Qi Yue quietly held his hand and interlocked their fingers.
Gu Yunshuang turned and looked at him.
Qi Yue's eyes were filled with heartache: "Don't be sad, not all parents in the world are worthy of being parents. Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu are the best parents in the world."
Gu Yunshuang smiled slowly. "I'm not sad at all. On the contrary, I'm very fortunate that they didn't want me. That's why I was able to meet such wonderful parents, grandma, you, and Grandpa Qi. If I had stayed in that home with such terrible parents, I don't know how miserable my life would have been."
Qi Yue thought of his real birth date, and it was said that he was Xue Tinghe's true love.
If Gu Yunshuang hadn't been abandoned by her biological parents and had grown up in the Jiang family, instead of meeting him, she would have met Xue Tinghe earlier, coupled with that fateful marriage...
Qi Yue's face slowly turned green.
