“Think you can bury this forever with a few million spent on a measly Spirit Stabilizing Talisman?” Chen Yu scoffed.
“Unfortunately, the so-called cultivator who created it was a fool. Its power can’t suppress the restless souls eternally.”
With a pointed glance at Father Zheng, Chen Yu strode towards the living room’s interior.
Li Changjun didn’t hesitate, signaling his men to follow suit.
They arrived at an unassuming door on the left side of the room. With a wave of Chen Yu’s hand, it creaked open on its own, revealing a long staircase leading downward.
At the bottom awaited a luxuriously decorated basement. Expensive,
hand-woven carpets covered the floor, and various entertainment facilities were scattered around.
“Soundproofed with professional materials,” Chen Yu explained as he approached a wall. “Even firecrackers down here wouldn’t be heard upstairs.”
A tycoon eyed Chen Yu with a growing sense of unease and gloominess. “Dr.
Chen. Our families have always kept to ourselves. Why stir up trouble?”
!!..
Ignoring the man, Chen Yu continued, “While the idiot who drew that talisman lacked finesse, he was crafty in his methods of concealing evidence. He was worried someone might detect the lingering blood and resentment here.” “That’s why he specifically instructed you to coat the basement with a generous amount of quicklime. It effectively neutralizes blood odor and possesses exorcism properties.”
Gao Jinshui’s eyes welled up with a horrifying realization. The thirst for vengeance burned in his chest.
His daughter didn’t go missing; these monsters had taken her life!
These monster’s parents, aware of the truth, chose to conceal it for the sake of their children!
Terrified that the victim’s vengeful spirit might return to haunt them, they hired a Taoist priest to suppress it!
“Chen Yu! Stop this!” Father Zheng gritted his teeth.
“These are baseless accusations! Our children are upstanding individuals, incapable of murder. And as parents, aiding them in a cover-up is unthinkable.
Dr. Chen, we understand your abilities, but surely there are limits.”
A woman adorned in gold and silver jewelry stepped forward, her gaze unwavering.
“Everyone fears something,” she declared. “Just as the law holds power, doesn’t the potential for a tarnished reputation frighten you, Dr. Chen? What about your loved ones?”
She aimed to exploit his vulnerabilities.
Extraordinary abilities aside, no one was immune to pressure, especially when it came to family and friends.
“No,” Chen Yu countered with a smile. “Certain threats cease to exist when all of you and your children enter prison.”
With a powerful stomp, he shattered the plush carpet beneath his feet, revealing the concrete floor.
Cracks snaked across the surface before large chunks of concrete scattered outward.
He spread his fingers wide, and the earth beneath him began to bulge, as if an unseen force were pushing upwards.
The display of power left the wealthy group speechless.
Zheng Wei and the other privileged heirs trembled with fear, especially Chu
Tiantian, whose face resembled that of a corpse.
“Chu Tiantian,” Li Changjun boomed, his voice stern. “Confessing now could result in a lighter sentence. Resisting will lead to the full force of the law!”
Tears streamed down Chu Tiantian’s face as she stammered, “I…”
“Chu Tiantian!” Zheng Wei roared, his loyalty unwavering. “We did nothing wrong! Don’t listen to him!”
He then turned to his mother, his voice laced with desperation, “Mom!”
“I… I’ll confess!”
Suddenly, a chilling realization dawned on Chu Tiantian.
Her pupils dilated, and a wave of icy terror washed over her.
From the ground, a large metal barrel, resembling a gasoline container, rose unnaturally.
Aside from Li Changjun and his well-informed officers, everyone stared in utter shock.
This metal container, buried meters underground, had inexplicably surfaced. Its emergence likely heralded the inevitable, the privileged children’s doom. “Chen Yu!” Father Zheng and the female tycoon shrieked in unison. “You… what sorcery did you use?”
“Socery? Hah,” Chen Yu scoffed.
“Wen Xinghui and his Master Liu were the ones who dabbled in socery.”
“Wen Xinghui?” Li Changjun furrowed his brow. “Why’s he involved?”
“Without him,” Chen Yu explained, “how would these wealthy individuals know about using lime to exorcise evil spirits and mask the stench of blood?”
“They also wouldn’t have known how to acquire a Spirit Suppressing Talisman, either.”
“All thanks to Wen Xinghui, they covered up their crimes.”
“The assassin who tried to take me out yesterday? Hired by Wen Xinghui as well.”
Chen Yu slammed his palm onto the metal container with a resounding smack.
A grinding screech filled the air as the bucket cracked open, revealing the concrete casing within and a horrifying sight—a female corpse, her body marred by wounds.
“Wealth and privilege have hardened your hearts,” Chen Yu declared, his voice dripping with icy contempt as he scanned the faces of the terrified group. “Your children mirror you, treating human life with such disdain.”
Two months prior…
Zheng Wei, accompanied by a few friends, strutted into a car showroom to pick up his new car.
His eyes fell upon Gao Wei and Chu Tiantian, new recruits at the company.
Zheng Wei, envisioning himself as a mighty dragon flanked by two alluring phoenixes, set his sights on Gao Wei.
Chu Tiantian, consumed by vanity, eagerly embraced his advances.
However, Gao Wei held no desire to be a gilded cage bird for the wealthy. She repeatedly rejected Zheng Wei’s attempts.
Each rebuff only fueled Zheng Wei’s desire. He manipulated Chu Tiantian into luring Gao Wei to the lakeside villa, intending to force himself upon her.
His friends, summoned for the occasion, joined in the harassment.
During the struggle, Gao Wei scratched Zheng Wei’s face, igniting a furious rage within him.
Over the next few days, Zheng Wei and his pack of accomplices subjected Gao Wei to various forms of torture.
He not only inflicted physical harm, leaving her body bruised and battered, but also callously manipulated Chu Tiantian to torment their victim further. Tragically, Gao Wei succumbed to her injuries.
Devoid of remorse, these wealthy youths concocted a plan inspired by a movie.
They encased Gao Wei’s body in an iron bucket, filled it with cement, and buried it in the basement, attempting to conceal their heinous crime.
But their efforts were met with an unnerving twist.
Three days after the burial, the villa started exhibiting signs of haunting.
Terror finally gripped Zheng Wei and his companions, compelling them to confess the truth to their parents.
Astonishingly, their parents, instead of seeking justice, opted for a cover-up. Desperate for a solution, one of the parents contacted Wen Xinghui, aware of his involvement in occult practices.
Wen Xinghui, sensing an opportunity, readily agreed to help, summoning a dubious figure known as Master Liu to “cleanse” the villa.
Of course, this service came at a hefty price, allowing Wen Xinghui to exploit their fear and line his own pockets.
Suddenly flush with cash, he no longer needed to sell off his dwindling assets to revive his failing projects.
However, a dark cloud loomed on the horizon. The prospect of Chen Yu soon claiming possession of his family’s multi-million yuan villa gnawed at Wen Xinghui.
Fueled by desperation, he resorted to hiring an assassin to eliminate Chen Yu..
