The most melodramatic rebirth in history

Chapter 64 Asking the Bodhisattva to Solve the Case

The main hall of the Sun residence was packed with people, many of whom were discussing the matter, making the whole scene quite noisy.

In the main hall sat a pretty woman rubbing her forehead, looking very casual and not at all bothered that everyone else was standing.

"Yu Yang, what do you mean by this?"

Zhang Yi frowned and looked around at the group of people before gazing intently at the woman who was leaning on her jade-like hand and sitting on the city lord's chair.

These people were all powerful and influential figures in Sunset City. Apart from appearing together at the city lord Sun Yunshan's festival, they rarely gathered together. But now, Sun Yuyang managed to find them one by one!
"Hmph! Zhang Yi, mind your own business today! We'll settle our score another day." The woman on the large chair suddenly snorted coldly, stood up, and pointed at Zhang Yi with her jade-like finger.

The entire scene fell silent instantly; the vast hall was completely still.

"You heartless philanderer! You don't need to be drenched in shit." Sun Yuyang's anger flared up at the thought of the intimate scene she had witnessed that night.

At that time, because her father had just died and she was too heartbroken to lose her temper, she simply dragged her exhausted body away in sorrow.

Afterwards, in order to feign madness, she naturally didn't bother to mention it. But that doesn't mean she didn't know!
"I...!" Seeing the domineering woman staring at him, Zhang Yi was furious and shook his head with a sigh.

Ever since Feng and Ling "cured" Sun Yuyang, they haven't given Zhang Yi a friendly look since they left the house.

At the time, Zhang Yi thought she was just bored in the room, so he didn't pay much attention. He just thanked Leng Ningshuang and Feng Ling excitedly before hurrying after them.

Unexpectedly, he was completely wrong. Sun Yuyang was really angry. At that moment, Zhang Yi had a strong bad feeling. Only now did he realize that Sun Yuyang must have found out some secret!
"Her air of authority is quite impressive!" Feng Ling whispered to Leng Ning Shuang from the crowd below, inwardly full of admiration.

"If it weren't necessary, do you think she would have stood there willingly?" Leng Ning Shuang glanced sideways at the handsome man beside her, secretly wondering, "This indifferent guy just killed quite a few people, how come he can't even detect a trace of blood in the blink of an eye?"

Before leaving Sun Yuyang's boudoir, in order to "invite" these so-called powerful and influential figures, Feng Ling and Leng Ningshuang secretly went there themselves and swept through all the major and minor forces in Sunset City before casually returning to their boudoir.

Otherwise, do you think these arrogant and wealthy guys would be so obedient?

"Ahem! Miss Sun, what is the reason for your urgent summons?" A wealthy man in a fur robe, acting as the representative, coughed and stepped forward from among twenty or thirty well-dressed rich people, clasping his hands in greeting.

"Mr. Jia, I have offended you greatly today. I hope you will forgive me!" Upon hearing Li Hao's words, Sun Yuyang immediately withdrew his finger, turned around and sat down, offering a slight apology to the wealthy man.

This wealthy merchant, Li Hao, was the same person Feng Ling and his companions had met briefly yesterday while guessing riddles. His original name was Li Hao, but he had to change his surname after marrying into the Jia family.

It must be said that Li Hao is a business prodigy. At the age of twenty-seven, he married into the then-impoverished Jia family and worked hard for three years to lift the entire family out of poverty. Now, he has become a very important figure in the entire Sunset City.

Their wealth and power are second only to the Sun family of the City Lord's Mansion, so Sun Yuyang cannot afford to be careless.

“Miss Sun, let’s not dwell on the past. Let’s get straight to the point!” Li Hao and the other dozens of wealthy men nodded and clasped their hands in greeting.

"Alright! Since you all are giving me face, then I will point out the murderer who killed my father in front of you all today!" Sun Yuyang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she said something shocking.

Several figures below the stage trembled simultaneously. Because Sun Yuyang had been staring intently at the guilty Ruan Xinrou after saying those words, she did not notice the actions of the others.

"Hi~!"

"What? It killed the city lord?"

"How is that possible? That's... a tenth-level expert!"

……

Like a bomb dropped into deep water, the crowd erupted in discussion, exchanging glances and finding disbelief in each other's eyes.

"Yu Yang, are you crazy? How can your godfather rest in peace after death?" Zhang Yi trembled and roared at Sun Yu Yang, his heart filled with horror. He told someone to leave immediately.

"Big brother! Yu Yang hasn't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry? Could it be...!?" A man with freckles stepped forward and blocked Ruan Xinrou's path. Then, he looked at Zhang Yi in a cold tone.

"Enough! Qi Cheng, even you suspect that my brother is involved in my godfather's death?" Zhang Yi glared at Qi Cheng, trying to find a trace of old affection in his eyes, but he was disappointed.

"If you have a clear conscience, you have nothing to fear! Whether you did it or not, you know it in your heart." Qi Cheng glanced at Zhang Yi sideways, convinced that it was him who did it.

"It wasn't him...!" The pretty woman trembled, closed her eyes, sighed with tears in her eyes, then suddenly opened her eyes, raised her voice, and angrily pointed at Ruan Xinrou, shouting, "It was this bitch who did it!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled again. Qi Cheng's eyes turned red, and he was about to step forward to kill Ruan Xinrou, but he was stopped by Old Fu, who had been secretly observing from behind Zhang Yi.

"Sun Yuyang, you're a madman! You're spouting nonsense, making baseless accusations, slandering me!" Ruan Xinrou was agitated, her voice hoarse from her sharp shouts. But the other party seemed to have no time to pay her any attention!

Sun Yuyang just wanted public witnessing. She believed that with public attention, the obstacles to investigating the matter would be greatly reduced. She was not foolish enough to think that she could convict Ruan Xinrou just by talking.

"Miss Yu Yang, this matter is of utmost importance. Are you sure you're not just making things up?" Li Hao asked with a serious expression, and the others also cast solemn glances at him.

Wife killing husband is a heinous crime that has always been despised in the Ghost Spirit Continent. At best, it will result in disgrace and ruin, and at worst, it will result in being beaten to death!
"Everything requires evidence. Now that I've brought it up, I will naturally give everyone an answer!" Sun Yuyang calmed down at this moment, and the hatred in her eyes disappeared completely.

"Could it be that something went wrong?" Ruan Xinrou's heart skipped a beat. The more she looked at Sun Yuyang, the stranger he seemed. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind as she considered how to react to the situation.

"Please look, everyone, this is what Yu Yang found in her father's tightly clenched right hand on his body!" As she spoke, a red light burst forth from the air in front of Sun Yu Yang, revealing a beautifully crafted ring carved from blood jade!
"Oh no!" Zhang Yi thought to himself that something was wrong, while Ruan Xinrou stared at the blood-red, alluring ring and her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Hiss...! 'Bloodthirsty Love Unconditional'!?" Everyone gasped in shock. They recognized the ring as the engagement ring of Sun Yunshan and Ruan Xinrou.

In this way, the murderer is self-evident, and everyone who thought of it couldn't help but shudder and feel a chill run down their spines.

"Ruan Xinrou, you sharp-tongued woman, what explanation do you have?" Li Hao and the others questioned in deep voices, their gazes icy cold. There was no need to be polite to such a vicious woman.

“Sun Yuyang, don’t try to use my love token with your father as an excuse! It was given to my husband after he died, when I went to visit him alone because I was afraid he would be lonely!”

Ruan Xinrou, quick-witted as ever, called him "husband" so convincingly that the onlookers were skeptical. "Pah! Stop your hypocrisy! You dare call me 'husband'? Only my mother is worthy to address my father like that!" Sun Yuyang shouted angrily, her emotions running high.

"Oh no! Yu Yang, you've been tricked." Feng Ling's heart sank, and he secretly sent a telepathic message to Sun Yu Yang. Since the three of them were of one mind, Leng Ning Shuang naturally heard the message as well.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Sun Yuyang was taken aback, then her expression changed drastically. She cursed herself for being so talkative, realizing she had dug her own grave.

"I think Yu Yang is right! That woman is really despicable!" Just as Leng Ning Shuang was wondering, sure enough, the unexpected happened.

“Yu Yang! I know you hate me, your stepmother. From the moment you entered the door, you have treated me coldly;
I know I can't compare to your mother! But I've really tried my best to change, so why do you still... hold a prejudice against me?

Ruan Xinrou lay weakly on the ground, tears streaming down her face, crying pitifully, a truly pitiful sight.

"Phew!" Many people secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and were somewhat impressed by the acting skills of the woman who was crying so heartbrokenly.

"Miss Sun, what do you say?" Li Hao and the others were completely baffled, so they could only look at Sun Yuyang again, hoping she could give them an answer.

"Shameless! Is all you can do is cry and try to gain sympathy?" Looking at the beautiful woman's tear-streaked face, the pretty woman was burning with anger.

Yes…! I do dislike her, but I'm not so heartless as to… frame her using my father's death! But how am I supposed to answer everyone's questions?

I started this whole thing myself, so I can't just leave everyone without giving them an answer! Otherwise, I'd be letting Ruan Xinrou, who's twisting the truth, get away with it.

She couldn't tell the truth, but she couldn't lie as much as someone else did, which put her in a terrible dilemma!
"Pfft...!" Sun Yuyang grew angrier the more she thought about it, and her chest suddenly contracted and clenched in pain. A mouthful of blood, a surge of anger rising within her, spurted out. Immediately afterward, her mind went completely black. Sun Yuyang instinctively covered her forehead, and she fell backward, dizzy.

"Yu Yang!" Two shocked and angry voices rushed forward and caught Sun Yu Yang on either side of her arm before she fell to the ground.

"Miss Sun...!"

Li Hao and the others were in an uproar, feeling a sense of unease. It seemed that they themselves might have driven someone to their death!
"Alas, what a fierce woman! She truly shares the same temperament as the old city lord!" Looking at the thick, purplish-red blood, the crowd sighed softly, their faces turning pale with shock.

If Sun Yuyang's vomiting blood was an act, it's impossible for her to be so heartbroken!
"It would be best if she were dead!" Taking advantage of the moment when everyone's attention was diverted, Ruan Xinrou, who was lying on the ground "painfully" forcing herself to shed tears, revealed a hint of resentment in her red-rimmed eyes.

"The blood stasis had been accumulating in his heart for a long time, but now that it has been expelled, there is no serious problem!" After Feng Ling arrived, he took out a pill and gave it to Sun Yuyang.

In fact, he and Leng Ningshuang deliberately delayed Zhang Yi and Qi Cheng by a step, since the opportunity was reserved for the two of them.

"Junior Brother Feng, you can also diagnose pulses?" Leng Ningshuang raised an eyebrow, looking at Feng Ling who had put down Sun Yuyang's wrist, quite surprised.

"I know a little!" Feng Ling replied with a smile, then stood up and gestured for Leng Ning Shuang to step back with him, as the effects of the medicine had already taken hold and Sun Yu Yang would soon wake up.

"Mmm...~!" With a soft groan, Sun Yuyang's body trembled, and she slowly opened her blurry eyes. After seeing the situation clearly, she let out another angry shout.

"Get out! Let me go!" Sun Yuyang was furious and flung away the handsome man who was supporting her right arm.

"Yu Yang...!" Zhang Yi hesitated, then staggered back a few steps, but was fortunately helped up by Old Fu who caught up with him.

"Yu Yang, are you alright?" Qi Cheng asked gently, still supporting Sun Yu Yang alone, but secretly he increased the pressure on her.

"Brother Qi Cheng, I'm fine!" Sun Yuyang shook her head softly. Then, a glint of light appeared in her eyes. She broke free from Qi Cheng's hands, strode forward, and shouted loudly to everyone present, "I want to ask... Bodhisattva to solve the case!"

The sound echoed throughout the hall for a long time, leaving everyone stunned and completely silent!
After a long while, everyone finally came to their senses, and many people asked in puzzled and strange tones, "Miss Sun, which deity are you inviting?"

Sun Yuyang's eyes darted around, and she raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "Yuqing Sect, Ling Weiyun... the old lady!!"

"Pfft...!!"

An elderly man with white hair, far away, suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea, startling the two people opposite him.

"Brother Ling, what's wrong with you today? You choked on your tea? Luckily we dodged in time...!"

"Haha, perhaps Big Brother has realized that he's about to lose this game!"

Elder Liu Yidao and Sect Master Feng Tianjue of Yuqing Sect looked at the spirited old man opposite them with smiles in their eyes and couldn't help but tease him.

"Hmph! You two think you can beat me? Not so easy!" The old man snorted coldly, downed his tea in one gulp, and as he placed his piece again, his sharp eyes found a "brilliant stroke".

Since their last drunken outburst, the group has consciously switched from fine wine to tea.

"Sigh! Well, we lost again!" Feng Tianjue and Liu Yidao hung their heads, looking utterly dejected. The two shamelessly teamed up to challenge Ling Weiyun's clone to a game of chess, hoping to bully him, but instead, they were once again bullied.

If word gets out, where will they put their faces?!
……

"Yu Yang, are you really going to invite the honorary elder of my sect?" Looking at Sun Yu Yang's determined gaze, Qi Cheng frowned slightly. He naturally knew about the grudge between his master Luo Bin and Ling Wei Yun.

"I believe that he is the only person who can verify the cause of my father's death right now," Sun Yuyang replied in a deep voice, clinging to her last hope.

“That Ling Weiyun is not only an honorary elder, but also the guardian envoy of our sect! Miss Sun, I'm afraid it will be difficult to invite him!” Leng Ningshuang said calmly, and her words made Sun Yuyang feel as if she had been doused with a bucket of cold water.

“Alas! What if we jointly petition the Jade Purity Sect Master?” The powerful figures led by Li Hao uttered a startling statement, leaving the others stunned.

Upon hearing this, Leng Ning Shuang was startled, and finally, her eyes flickered as she sighed softly, "Of course!"

Life is not about persevering because of hope; it's about seeing hope because we persevere.

The world is full of chaos and troubles; may the sages offer you a pure land for your souls.
