Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

The next morning, Li Hanting personally drove to the gate of Peking University to wait for Shen Jingshu.

It wasn't until last night that he fully realized that his seemingly unassuming younger sister was actually a somewhat famous online livestreamer specializing in metaphysics.

He spent the whole night reviewing Shen Jingshu's past live stream recordings. Even though she wore a mask the whole time, he recognized her at a glance just by her eyebrow and eye shape. Coupled with the extremely accurate report text message last night, it completely confirmed the matter.

After getting into the car, Li Hanting gripped the steering wheel, his tone tinged with concern and doubt: "Jing Shu, are you short of money? Why would you think of live-streaming fortune telling online?"

Fearing his sister might be short of money, he immediately added, "If you need money, I have some here. Feel free to take it and use it; don't be shy."

Shen Jingshu gently shook her head, her eyes gentle: "Big brother, I don't lack money. My second brother gave me a black card a while ago, which is enough for my expenses."

"Second brother is quite thoughtful." Upon hearing this, Li Hanting's lips curled into a slight smile, then he asked, puzzled, "Then why are you doing all this?"

"Brother, we Xuanmen people are meant to accumulate merit as we walk through the world," Shen Jingshu explained patiently. "I do fortune telling online, and the fees I charge are meager. I'm not doing it for money; I'm just using fortune telling to help people overcome calamities and guide them onto the right path, thus accumulating my own merit."

Li Hanting suddenly realized and nodded, saying, "I see, it's the same principle as doing good deeds and accumulating merit."

"Exactly."

"I'm here today because of Shi Lei's case from last night." Li Hanting's expression turned serious. "Our bureau and the anti-narcotics squad are investigating together, and we've confirmed that one of Shi Lei's undercover narcotics officers was indeed murdered, and his body was found at the hideout. The biggest challenge in the case now is finding the batch of contraband that was hidden there, so I'd like to ask you to help me locate it. The deceased is gone, so if it's difficult, you don't have to force yourself."

"Not difficult," Shen Jingshu said calmly. "Where is the body of that narcotics officer?"

"In the morgue at the station." Li Hanting replied, then realized what he meant, his eyes wide with surprise, "You want to... summon spirits? You can really summon the dead and communicate with ghosts?"

As a public official, he should have adhered to science and not believed in ghosts and gods. However, coming from a top-tier wealthy family, he was far more aware of many secrets of the world than ordinary public officials. In addition, due to his high position, he was also aware that the country had always had a special department dedicated to handling supernatural and metaphysical events.

Shen Jingshu turned her head to look at him, a hint of a smile in her eyes: "What, if you're curious, big brother, you can meet him later."

Li Hanting's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, and he remained silent for a moment.

After a moment of silence, he added in a deep voice, "Jing Shu, if this matter blows up, it will most likely draw you into the sights of special departments. If anyone comes to you to verify the situation later, don't be afraid. As long as you act uprightly and do not do anything to harm the country or the people, they won't do anything to you."

Shen Jingshu understood and nodded gently: "I understand. What you're talking about, brother, must be the special agency in the country that controls metaphysics and handles paranormal events, right?"

She had long anticipated that her high-profile live-streaming of fortune-telling and her involvement in major police cases would eventually attract the attention of special official agencies, and that day was not far off.

The car drove smoothly into the city police station compound. Li Hanting led Shen Jingshu straight to the morgue. Along the way, the police officers, seeing Director Li personally leading the group, were full of curiosity but dared not ask any questions and bowed their heads in salute.

The morgue was chillingly cold, filled with the faint scent of disinfectant and an atmosphere of death. Rows of cold morgue cabinets were neatly arranged, creating a solemn and oppressive atmosphere.

Li Hanting gestured to the staff to open one of the morgue cabinets. The body covered with a white sheet lay quietly inside; it was the body of the narcotics officer who had sacrificed his life.

The body was still intact, but there were traces of struggle and torture all over it, which was heartbreaking to see.

Li Hanting stood aside with a solemn expression. This young anti-drug police officer was only in his twenties. He infiltrated the drug den with a heart full of passion and ultimately sacrificed his life. He was truly admirable.

"Big brother, stand behind me. No matter what you see, don't make a sound or do anything rash," Shen Jingshu instructed, then retreated to an open space, her aura suddenly becoming solemn.

She closed her eyes, her hands quickly forming a summoning incantation, and her lips uttered a long and obscure incantation. The cold incantation echoed in the empty morgue, adding a touch of effeminate chill to the already biting cold air.

Li Hanting stood still as instructed, his eyes fixed on the front, feeling both nervous and expectant. Although he knew about metaphysics, he had never witnessed a spirit summoning and manifestation before, and his palms unconsciously clenched slightly.

Moments later, the air in the center of the morgue began to distort, and a wisp of pale white soul slowly coalesced. It was a young man in plain clothes, his features youthful yet resolute—the very soul of the recently deceased narcotics officer. As soon as he took shape, he was somewhat dazed, looking down at his transparent hands, then at the body lying in the morgue, instantly realizing that he had already sacrificed himself.

"You are..." The young police officer came to his senses and looked at Shen Jingshu with a look of confusion in his eyes.

"I've been entrusted by the police to help you fulfill your last wishes and also to find out the location where Shi Lei's gang hid contraband." Shen Jingshu's voice was calm. "Don't worry, everyone who harmed you has been caught. None of them have escaped and will pay the price for you."

Upon hearing the news of the drug lord's capture, the young officer's initial bewilderment vanished, replaced by relief and excitement, his eyes slightly reddening: "Really? They've all been caught?"

"It's absolutely true, your sacrifice was not in vain."

The loyal souls are still alive. The young police officer bowed deeply, his eyes filled with gratitude. Without hesitation, he told them the detailed address and method of hiding the contraband, not wanting to waste a single moment.

His only regret was not being able to personally seize the batch of drugs. Now that he has finally completed his mission, he has no more regrets.

Li Hanting stood to the side, completely stunned, his pupils slightly dilated as he stared incredulously at the transparent spirit before him. Even though he was mentally prepared, witnessing a ghost appear and converse normally with people still brought him immense shock. He covered his mouth tightly to prevent himself from making a sound, and firmly memorized the address the spirit gave him.

After explaining everything, the young police officer bowed deeply to Shen Jingshu and the body in the morgue, his soul gradually becoming transparent: "Thank you, Master. My wish has been fulfilled, and I have no more worries."

He died in the line of duty, possessing integrity and merit, and therefore could directly enter the cycle of reincarnation without having to go to the underworld for trial.

Shen Jingshu raised her hand and released a stream of spiritual energy to send his soul to the underworld for a successful reincarnation.

Only after his soul completely dissipated did Li Hanting slowly come back to his senses. His gaze towards Shen Jingshu had completely changed, filled with shock and respect.

"Jing Shu, this..."

"Big brother, I've noted down the address. Quickly send someone to collect it." Shen Jingshu withdrew her magic spell, her expression returning to normal. "Also, the Special Affairs Bureau you mentioned, I expect someone will be looking for me soon."

Li Hanting composed himself, immediately took out his phone, dialed the anti-drug team, and precisely issued a search order. After hanging up, he still couldn't hide the turmoil in his heart: "I underestimated your abilities. If anyone comes looking for you later, I'll deal with them with you."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Hanting's phone rang again. The caller ID showed an unfamiliar internal number. His eyes darkened as he looked at Shen Jingshu: "It's here."

Just as Shen Jingshu had expected, the National Special Affairs Bureau, which was responsible for managing metaphysical events across the country, had already learned of the news and contacted him immediately.
