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

This tragedy shocked the entire city at the time. After residents of the community filmed the scene and uploaded it online, the topic of #nanny maliciously set fire# quickly went viral and sparked endless discussions across the internet.

Just because of a few words about childcare, the nanny brutally murdered her employer and his family of three, burning them to death. This incident has caused widespread panic among netizens, and many families are even starting to reconsider hiring nannies.

Looking at the camera, Lin Bin felt wronged and indignant, and loudly defended himself: "As everyone can see, the whole thing was the nanny's revenge out of resentment, and it has nothing to do with me at all!"

"None of your business?" Shen Jingshu's tone was icy, hitting the nail on the head.

Lin Bin's eyes reddened, and he put on a heartbroken expression: "I am the biggest victim of this disaster! My once happy family, gentle wife, and obedient children all left me overnight. Now I am all alone, tasting all the bitterness of the world."

Many netizens in the live stream echoed this sentiment.

Indeed, Mr. Lin has visibly aged over the years, living in constant grief over the loss of his wife and son.

A perfectly good home can be gone just like that; no one could bear that. How can you say he's a beneficiary?

Shen Jingshu chuckled lightly, her tone dripping with sarcasm: "On the surface, you are indeed the pitiful person in everyone's eyes. But the truth is never as simple as it appears to outsiders. First, let's talk about Aunt Zhang, the arsonist. Just because of a few arguments, she ruthlessly burned three people to death. Is that reasonable? Furthermore, she only spent a year in prison before suddenly falling seriously ill and dying. How many people have actually investigated this matter?"

These words instantly awakened everyone in the live stream, and the tone of the comments completely changed.

[Yes! Back then, all I knew was that the nanny had been sentenced to a long prison term and later died in prison. The news quickly died down, and I didn't think much of it!]

Looking back now, everything seems off; many details were obscured by public opinion at the time.

After the verdict was announced, public attention gradually faded. Although there were sporadic reports of the nanny's death, they did not cause any stir.

As the initial shock subsided, the doubts were also buried, and everyone assumed it was just a vicious murder case triggered by a verbal argument.

But Lin Bin used this fire to completely shed his past and transformed into a pitiful husband and father who garnered sympathy from the entire internet.

Outsiders only saw him immersed in grief every day, but no one delved into the fact that behind this disaster, he was the one who secretly seized everything.

Lin Bin's composure gradually crumbled, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "Life is unpredictable. Her death in prison was simply a twist of fate. Master, it's far-fetched to try and link these two events together."

"Far-fetched?" Shen Jingshu's gaze was like a knife as she stared intently at the person on the other side of the screen. "Then let me tell you about that Soul-Suppressing Well you specially built. You claimed it was to pray for your wife and children and help them reincarnate, but in reality, you used evil magic to suppress their souls at the bottom of the well, preventing them from ever being reborn and causing them to suffer every day. On one hand, you used your deceased wife and children to gain sympathy and profit from the internet, while on the other hand, you used insidious methods to trap their souls. Lin Bin, just how ruthless are you?"

The live stream chat exploded instantly, filled with expressions of shock.

[My God, there's actually such a hidden story? I can't believe it!]

[I found this strange before. Since ancient times, people have believed that burial is the foundation of peace. Why would someone not bury their loved ones but instead build a well to suppress their spirit?]

[Back then, some people questioned whether the well was used for blessings or for performing evil magic, but those sounds were quickly suppressed and never heard again!]

On the other end of the screen, Lin Bin was in turmoil, overwhelmed with regret. He secretly rebuked himself for his impulsive act of grabbing the lucky bag, which had backfired spectacularly.

Five years have passed since the arson attack. In the years since, he has built a large following by portraying himself as a "devoted husband" and working as an online streamer. He has made a fortune by exploiting the tragedies of the past to gain sympathy. However, in the last two years, as the controversy has died down, his popularity has gradually declined.

Seeing that Shen Jingshu's live stream was attracting a lot of traffic, he initially thought that she was just an internet celebrity who used metaphysics as a gimmick to attract attention and had no real skills. So he thought of taking the opportunity to connect with her and ride the wave of popularity to return to the public eye.

If he had known earlier that Shen Jingshu possessed genuine skills and could reveal all secrets with a single word, he would never have willingly offered himself up.

In a panic, Lin Bin feigned anger and shouted, "I don't understand what nonsense you're spouting! You're maliciously framing me without cause; I can sue you for defamation!"

"Sue me?" Shen Jingshu smiled calmly, her tone frank and fearless. "Let's put aside the defamation issue for now and talk about your real purpose for coming today. Aren't you just here to piggyback on my livestream's popularity?"

She paused, her gaze sharp as a blade, "Since you're so eager to gain attention, then I'll grant your wish and personally send you to the top of the trending topics."

The situation was completely out of control, and all winds were blowing against us.

Lin Bin's face turned pale, and he panicked. He hurriedly reached out to close the connection and leave the live broadcast room, wanting to immediately end this deadly standoff.

Just as his fingertip was about to touch the mouse, Shen Jingshu flicked her fingertip, and an invisible spiritual force fell from afar.

The next second, Lin Bin's body suddenly stiffened, his limbs as if they were firmly locked by invisible chains, unable to move at all.

His pupils contracted sharply, and an overwhelming sense of fear surged within him.

"Don't rush, Mr. Lin."

Shen Jingshu's tone was calm, yet carried an overwhelming sense of pressure as she spoke: "Didn't you crave attention? Since you've run into me today, I'm always happy to oblige. Since you're so eager for clicks, I'll go all the way and make you a sensation."

The hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream were completely excited, and the chat was flooded with comments.

[Holy crap! He's frozen in place?! This is truly mystical!]

That's incredible! They can't escape now!

[Seeking the truth! What exactly happened in the arson case five years ago? We urge a master to reveal the whole story!]

Amidst the clamor of voices across the screen, Shen Jingshu remained calm and slowly began to speak, revealing the truth that had been completely buried back then.

"The whole story begins five years ago."

Back then, Lin Bin and his wife Bai Jing ran a small trading company together. Later, Bai Jing became pregnant with twins, but her pregnancy symptoms were severe and put a great strain on her body. As a result, she had no choice but to stay at home and focus on resting and recuperating.

From pregnancy to childbirth, it took nearly two years.

Taking care of twins is already difficult enough, and Bai Jing simply couldn't manage it all by herself. In addition, the Lin family's elderly parents were in poor health and unable to help take care of the children, so the couple hired a nanny, Aunt Zhang, to come and help with housework and childcare.

Normally, Bai Jing is gentle and kind, and she has always gotten along well with Aunt Zhang.

However, Aunt Zhang is older and has a conservative mindset. Her traditional parenting methods often clash with Bai Jing's scientific and meticulous approach to raising children, and the two occasionally have minor disagreements over their parenting philosophies.

But Aunt Zhang knew exactly what she was doing.

She knew she was just an employee, doing things for money. Even if she had different thoughts, she would only mutter a few words at most, and in the end she would follow the arrangements of the mistress Bai Jing and obediently take care of the children and manage the household affairs as required by the employer.
