Chapter 101 Why did they eventually become murderers?
The Lin family, this fake couple, knew that Lin Sui was good at divination.
But they thought that so many years had passed that it was impossible to find conclusive evidence.
As long as there is no evidence, people will always believe what they say.
But they never imagined that such old surveillance footage could be unearthed.
It even had sound attached, making them feel dizzy.
The live stream chat was overwhelmingly filled with insults, calling them heartless and vicious, and Chairman Lin's face turned ashen.
He couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Lin Siyao for giving them such a terrible idea as a public family reunion.
As a result, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired and he lost the rice instead.
He quickly gave Madam Lin a wink.
“Sui Sui, your parents had their reasons back then. A fortune teller said that you had to be sent to another family to have a chance of survival.”
Madam Lin covered her mouth with her handkerchief and cried bitterly, "Mom knows you've suffered so much all these years. It's my fault for only coming to find you now. I promise I'll make it up to you. Please come home with me."
Lin Sui was amazed.
When a person is utterly shameless, he is invincible.
In a short period of time, these two men improved their lying skills to an even higher level.
"Oh... so it was the fortune teller who said that." Lu Xiang's charming voice trailed off.
She walked briskly forward with her hands behind her back, tilted her head and smiled: "Did the fortune teller tell you that if you dare to keep bothering us, you... won't live past today?"
"What do you mean?"
Chairman Lin had barely uttered his question when he felt a flash of cold light before his eyes.
A sharp, razor-sharp blade, which had been used to cut down ghosts, was held against his neck. With just a light press, a deep gash of blood appeared.
A sharp pain shot through him, and Chairman Lin's face turned pale instantly.
He stared wide-eyed in horror at Yu Cinian, who was holding a horizontal sword.
The young man, who could kill with his beauty, smiled gently and said, "That's exactly what I mean."
The "Corpse Demon" blade trembled slightly upon seeing blood, emitting a barely audible hum.
It seemed excited, as if it was urgently urging, "Give it a little more!"
Yu Cinian sensed its emotions, and his light-colored pupils smiled even more deeply: "Look, it really likes your blood. Mr. Lin, don't you feel honored?"
Chairman Lin was completely stiff and dared not move.
He had heard some rumors about the Yu family, and that the current head of the family, Old Master Yu, doted on this grandson.
Given the momentum Yu Cinian displayed while slaying ghosts on live stream, he had no doubt that Yu Cinian truly meant what he said and did, and would not have any reservations.
Large beads of cold sweat slid down his forehead. Chairman Lin forced himself to remain calm and smiled kindly, "Young Master Yu, what happened before was indeed wrong of my husband and me, but we really have no ill intentions now. We just want to take Sui Sui back and do our best to make it up to her."
You talk too much nonsense, it's so annoying.
Yu Cinian narrowed his eyes, a dark glint flashing beneath his smiling gaze.
He moved his arm, trying to cut off Lin's arm, but a cold, white hand gently pressed it down.
Lin Sui glanced at the ever-present camera lens, then turned to Chairman Lin: "You said you wanted to compensate me, shouldn't you take some concrete action?"
"Of course, of course."
Mrs. Lin answered, thinking that Lin Sui was finally going to fall for the trap. She hurriedly took out a bank card: "This is specially prepared for you by your father and me. There is one million in it. You can buy whatever you want."
They really came prepared; they even knew she was short of money.
Lin Sui was thinking when he heard Si Xingran scoff, "One million? Are you trying to fob me off like a beggar?"
"...I'm a beggar, can you please give me a handout?"
What a coincidence, my nickname is Beggar! [hug][licking screen]
Mrs. Lin was a little unhappy.
Even if Lin Sui is good at face reading and fortune telling, he still manages to be poor, yet he still dares to complain about a million.
She had some doubts: could Grandpa Yu really be interested in such a poor and shabby granddaughter-in-law?
These days, money and power are the ultimate things. If it weren't for Lin Sui's high popularity and the apparent arranged marriage between her and Yu Cinian, she wouldn't have made this trip at all.
"How much does Sui Sui want? Mom is willing to give it to her." Madam Lin suppressed her dissatisfaction and continued to act lovingly.
Lin Sui opened her lips and uttered two words: "All of them."
"What?" Madam Lin was taken aback, thinking she had misheard.
Lin Sui: "I want everything from the Lin family."
"Are you crazy?" Mrs. Lin exclaimed in surprise.
How dare she want everything from the Lin family?
Her marriage to Lin Hongliang was arranged; otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on not divorcing him even after he hadn't touched her since giving birth.
Both she and Lin Hongliang understood long ago that the most important thing is to be happy and enjoy the present moment.
So none of them care whether their daughter is their biological child or not, as long as she is healthy and doesn't cause them any trouble.
As for money, they never thought about leaving it to their descendants; they only wanted to squander it all.
Lin Sui's demand for everything is no different from taking their lives.
Lin Sui knew that, of course; that's why she said it on purpose.
She gave Chairman Shanglin a sarcastic look that seemed to suggest he was delusional, her eyes dark and unfathomable: "If you can't produce it, then stop bothering me. Otherwise, don't blame me for exposing all your secrets."
[...Chairman Lin, keep it up! I support you in your daily pursuit... I want to hear [tears welling up as she bites her handkerchief].]
Where is humanity? Where is morality? Where is the truth Lin Sui spoke of? Don't force me to kneel down and beg you!
It wasn't that Lin Sui was being considerate of their blood ties that prevented him from publicly exposing their shameful deeds.
Based on her understanding of the couple, if that were the case, they would only give up and cling to her even more.
It would be better to treat this as a sword hanging over their heads, making them more cautious and less likely to act recklessly.
Sure enough, the couple's expressions changed completely, turning extremely ugly, but they dared not say anything more.
Fearing that Lin Suizhen would expose the incident, Chairman Lin simply had the cameraman turn off the live stream.
Yu Cinian suddenly felt bored, and slowly put away his sword, disinfecting it as he went.
With the threat finally gone, Chairman Lin staggered and almost lost his footing.
The wound inflicted by the sword was slow to heal. He clutched his bleeding neck, looked at Lin Sui, and then at Yu Cinian.
Regardless of whether their childhood betrothal was real or not, given their relationship, Lin Sui would definitely be able to climb up to the Yu family.
Since Lin Sui is his daughter, how could he possibly be willing to give up this piece of fat meat?
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and answered it immediately.
In the short time it took to say just a couple of sentences, he suddenly gave Lin Sui a meaningful look.
Lu Xiang keenly noticed his change, her brows furrowed, and she warily stood in front of Lin Sui.
Chairman Lin did nothing but hand his phone to Lin Sui: "Someone is looking for you."
Lu Xiang reached out to take it, but he dodged it: "Only Lin Sui can take it."
Lu Xiang paused, then narrowed her eyes dangerously.
Li Ye, his fierce expression hardening, coldly asked, "Are you sure?"
Chairman Lin felt a pang of unease.
The shadow cast by Yu Cinian had not yet dissipated, giving him a strange feeling that this man might pull out a gun at any moment and blow his head off.
But having been in the business world for many years, he quickly nodded with ease: "Confirmed."
Everyone instinctively felt that this phone call was unusual, but Lin Sui didn't seem to care much.
She took the phone and walked to the side. The male voice on the other end of the line was gentle and smiling; unsurprisingly, it was Chen Jue.
"Ms. Lin, would you be interested in knowing why your friends eventually became serial killers?"
"If you're interested, you're welcome to come to this place at 8 PM tonight. I'll be waiting for you."
Chen Jue hung up the phone after speaking, but this stirred up a huge wave in Lin Sui's usually calm heart.
My eardrums throbbed with a tremendous noise, causing my heart to scream in pain.
But when emotions rise to a certain threshold, they transform into extreme calmness.
Lin Sui quickly turned off the heart rate bracelet that might light up a red light, and returned to the villains as usual.
Then, she calmly handed the phone back to Chairman Lin: "Go back and tell your father-in-law that my grandfather has been dead for many years. If he wants to be my grandfather, he might as well die first."
Chairman Lin: "...???"
"You brat... ah!"
Madam Lin was already in a bad mood because she had been threatened, and when she heard Lin Sui curse her father, she was so angry that she wanted to curse.
But a sharp-edged stone came flying at her, hitting her squarely on the forehead and leaving a deep gash from which blood gushed out.
At the same time, a pair of dry, warm hands covered Lin Sui's eyes.
Lin Sui heard Si Xingran whistle in her ear: "Not bad, little potato, well done."
Immediately, she felt her hem being gently hooked by a long-lost, familiar force.
Lin Sui imagined Tang Xi's small face tense, but her almond eyes sparkling, which strangely soothed the unease brought by the phone call.
Madam Lin, clutching her bleeding forehead, was helped away.
Because of that phone call, everyone boarded the bus back home with different thoughts on their minds.
Wu Xiaojun's home was within the Fifth Ring Road. She didn't get into the car, but instead called out to Lin Sui and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, Master Lin."
Ever since she overheard Lin Siyao muttering to herself in the faculty dormitory that Qin Ziheng was the first person to spread rumors, a strong sense of hatred welled up in her heart for no reason.
Driven by hatred, she was determined to kill Qin Ziheng.
If Lin Sui and the others hadn't been watching Qin Ziheng all day, she might have actually done it and become a murderer.
Lin Sui's actions, seemingly protecting Qin Ziheng, were actually saving her.
Si Xingran also realized what was going on: "No wonder you deliberately changed the subject back then, insisting that I find out who posted the rumor."
Wu Xiaojun smiled apologetically.
"You initially just wanted to find out the whole truth and didn't intend to kill anyone, right?" Lin Sui suddenly asked.
Wu Xiaojun nodded, also finding it strange: "The urge to kill is overwhelming and cannot be stopped."
Lin Sui understood.
If she wasn't mistaken, the person in this case was killed by a ghost, but in order to cover up the fact that there was a ghost, the blame was forcibly placed on Wu Xiaojun, who clearly knew that Class 2 of Senior Three was cursed by a vengeful ghost.
The answer lies in that forum post that had thousands of replies.
The ID name that was immediately identified as a curse from a vengeful spirit was "Wushan Bujianjun" (meaning "I will not see you at Wushan").
Watching the bus drive away, Wu Xiaojun turned back for another look at the Peiya Middle School that her father had loved all his life, yet which had ultimately destroyed his school.
I couldn't help but recall the last words my father uttered with tears in his eyes before he died.
"The most important thing for a teacher is not teaching knowledge, but nurturing people."
"Unfortunately, I didn't manage to do it..."
Back at the meeting point, Lin Sui was forced to squeeze onto the van that came to pick up Yu Cinian.
Then, without prior arrangement, everyone stared at her.
Si Xingran, sitting in the back seat, even clung to the back of her chair, as if she wanted to stare a hole through the back of her head.
Lin Sui knew that the grandfather she made up on the spot hadn't fooled them, and she was glad that she had mastered the skill.
Even under the pressure from the five villains, she could calmly close her eyes and fall asleep whenever she wanted.
However, she underestimated the villains' persistence.
The group that arrived in the city center did not part ways as Lin Sui had imagined.
The van drove into the villa area where she lived and finally stopped in the courtyard of the residence her senior had arranged for her.
Lin Sui asked helplessly, "Don't you guys have anything else to do?"
"Is it illegal to take a break after finally finishing recording the show?" Si Xingran got out of the car, stretched, and went to the gate first, tilting his head to signal Lin Sui to open the door.
Lin Sui resignedly pressed his fingerprint on the combination lock.
Hearing the door open, the nanny, Wang Ma, came out from the living room to greet her: "Miss, you're finally back! Almost all the things you bought have arrived, and we're just waiting for you to come back and unpack them."
Seeing that Si Xingran and the others were following behind Lin Sui, she slapped her thigh and laughed, "Oh my, aren't these the handsome men and beautiful women who are recording the show with our young lady? Come in and sit down, come in and sit down."
He then led them into the living room.
“Auntie, you don’t need to bother, we’ll find a place ourselves…” Lu Xiang smiled politely, then suddenly fell silent.
Not only her, but everyone else fell silent.
Looking at the messy living room, where the floor, coffee table, TV cabinet, and sofa were piled with all sorts of cardboard boxes and packaging, Lu Xiang felt unusually lost: "Where... should I sit?"
"Your side job is Cainiao Station?" Si Xingran asked Lin Sui with the expression of an old man looking at his phone on the subway.
Lin Sui scratched his face and coughed awkwardly, "I just like to buy a few things."
"A little bit?" Yu Cinian looked at the packages crowding the living room and smiled politely. "I think the squad leader meant a hundred million points."
Li Ye bent down and picked up a plastic-packaged package. After glancing at it, he handed it to Si Xingran: "Your dung beetle bed sheet."
Si Xingran's face darkened.
The entire afternoon, everyone did nothing but help Lin Sui unpack her packages.
A blanket worth one million RMB, a face mask printed with a silly smile, a ceramic mug shaped like poop...
A bunch of bizarre items almost caused everyone's CPUs to burn out.
Si Xingran muttered complaints as he dismantled the box, while Li Ye punched each box with a loud clang.
Lu Xiang and Tang Xi inexplicably started competing to see who could unpack more packages.
Every time Yu Cinian dismantled a bottle, he would carefully spray it with disinfectant, and he used up five bottles in one afternoon.
By dinnertime, everyone was in a daze, completely disoriented.
So when Lin Sui brought them the spiked juice, not a single person suspected anything...
