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

Lin Bin immediately straightened his expression and spoke sincerely, as if carrying a strong sense of destiny and earnestness: "Being able to snag the master's lucky bag means that I have a connection with the master."

As soon as he finished speaking, he promptly gifted a sports car, and dazzling special effects instantly filled the live stream screen.

After paying the divination fee, he looked sincerely at the camera and slowly said, "Master Shen, I would like to ask you to tell my wife and children, and find out if they are doing well in the afterlife."

Shen Jingshu's gaze locked onto him calmly, her tone carrying a hint of meaning as she slowly asked, "Are you sure you want to include the mother and her two children?"

"I'm sure." Lin Bin nodded emphatically, his tone filled with deep sorrow. "I'm all alone, I have nothing to lose. The people I care about most and feel most indebted to in this life are my wife and two children. I only ask the master to help me see if they are at peace in the afterlife."

"Sure." Shen Jingshu nodded slightly. "Let me see photos of your wife and children."

As if he had been prepared, Lin Bin immediately picked up a family photo and held it up to the camera.

In the photo, his wife, Bai Jing, is wearing a white dress, her face gentle and graceful, quietly nestled beside him. In front of them are their two adorable young children, a boy and a girl, both well-behaved and lively.

The scene is warm and harmonious, a picture of peaceful and happy family life that everyone envies.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments, filled with sighs and sympathy.

Oh my god, what a pity that such a happy family is gone!

He has a son and a daughter, and a gentle wife. If it weren't for that accident, how happy he would be now.

Mr. Lin is truly devoted; he has still been thinking of his wife and children all these years.

Shen Jingshu glanced at the photo only once before speaking calmly, "That's enough."

Lin Bin immediately pressed on, his eyes filled with feigned worry: "Master, how are my wife and children doing now? Are they alright?"

Shen Jingshu raised her eyes, her cold gaze piercing through the screen, her words cutting through his facade: "Don't you know best how they're doing?"

A single sentence instantly froze the atmosphere.

Lin Bin's expression stiffened slightly, and he feigned confusion: "Master, what do you mean by that? I don't understand."

Shen Jingshu spoke calmly and clearly, exposing his true colors in public: "Lin Bin, thirty-five years old, owns a trading company. Your wife, Bai Jing, and two young children perished in a fire at home five years ago."

"That's right, the master is absolutely right."

Lin Bin verbally agreed, but inwardly he was filled with disdain and contempt.

This information is readily available online and is old news that everyone knows. He simply didn't believe that Shen Jingshu truly possessed extraordinary abilities; he just assumed she had researched his background beforehand and was pretending to be profound to fool netizens.

However, the hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream immediately sensed that something was wrong.

The comments scrolled rapidly, the screen filled with surprise and uncertainty.

Something's not right! There's definitely a deeper meaning behind the master's words!

Judging from this tone, the fire five years ago was definitely not an accident?

Could there be some hidden story behind the deaths of Mr. Lin's wife and children that we are unaware of?

[This is chilling to think about! No wonder the master was so cold just now!]

"You ask how your wife and children are doing underground?" Shen Jingshu sneered, her tone icy. "I can only say that they've had the worst luck in their lives to have a husband and father like you. You're ruthless, a beast in human form, unworthy of being a father or a husband!"

Lin Bin's expression changed drastically, filled with shock and anger. He feigned grievance and protested, "Master Shen, what makes you say that? I have never offended you, so why are you deliberately slandering me like this?"

The live stream chat instantly exploded, with the screen filled with confused comments.

Something's not right! The master's attitude is unusually stern today; he's never been like this before.

What exactly happened? Is there more to the story?

"I slander you?" Shen Jingshu's gaze was piercing as she stared directly at the person on the other side of the screen. "You ask them if they're doing well? Weren't your wife and children's ashes suppressed at the bottom of a well by your own hands, never to step into reincarnation again!"

These words caused an uproar in the room.

[Is it said that the object was suppressed at the bottom of a well?]

【I remember now! The fire incident caused quite a stir back then, and Lin Bin did indeed build a well to appease the souls of the deceased and help his family members pass on to the next life!】

[Could it be that the legendary Soul-Suppressing Well wasn't for blessings at all, but rather used to trap souls? I'll go find relevant photos and reports from back then!]

Lin Bin's heart was already in turmoil, and panic surged into his mind in an instant, but he suppressed his fear and still put on a blank and innocent look.

"Master, I really don't understand what you're saying." His tone was tinged with sorrow. "After my wife and children passed away, I was devastated. I specially invited a high monk to perform a ritual and build the Well for the Rebirth of Souls, hoping that they could have a peaceful reincarnation and a smooth next life. What you're saying really doesn't make sense to me."

"Don't understand?" Shen Jingshu scoffed, her tone resolute. "Since that's the case, then I'll explain everything clearly in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream. Let's start from 2 PM on April 30th, five years ago."

Five years ago, on the afternoon of April 30th at 2 PM, your wife caught a cold. You went out to buy her cold medicine yourself. Having been sick and not resting well for several days, your wife felt drowsy and weak after taking the medicine and soon fell into a deep sleep.

At that time, you had two young children at home, as well as your nanny, Aunt Zhang. Seeing that your wife and children were resting and the children were playing in the living room, and everything seemed peaceful, you changed your shoes and went out to the company.

Just an hour after you arrived at the company, at 3:15 p.m., the property management of your residential complex called to inform you that a fire had broken out in your home.

You immediately rushed back in a panic. The company and your residence were quite a distance apart, and by the time you arrived at the community around 4 p.m., the entire building had already been engulfed in flames.

The area around the house was filled with firefighters and onlookers. The front door was scorched by flames and damaged by external impacts. You frantically tried to rush into the burning building, but were held back by property management staff and neighbors.

Ultimately, your wife and two children perished in the fire, their bodies burned beyond recognition, and were carried out one by one by firefighters.

Afterwards, the fire department began investigating the cause of the fire, and your account to the public remained consistent: when you left home, your wife, children, and nanny Aunt Zhang were all at home. But strangely, Aunt Zhang was never found inside the fire scene.

In an instant, all suspicions pointed to the nanny who had vanished into thin air.

After the police intervened in the investigation, they followed the clues and found that Aunt Zhang had previously argued with your wife over trivial matters of taking care of the child, and was even scolded in public, which caused her to harbor resentment.

The case was ultimately determined to be arson committed by the nanny out of spite, resulting in a tragedy. Aunt Zhang was quickly arrested and brought to justice, and was formally detained in a detention center for intentionally causing death by arson.
