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

In the past two years, Bai Jing has focused on taking care of her children at home and rarely inquired about company affairs, leaving the entire trading company to Lin Bin. However, he is stubborn and self-willed and mismanages the business, causing the company's cash flow to completely dry up in a short period of time, and the crisis of bankruptcy looms ever closer.

Desperate, Lin Bin hatched a wicked plan. He secretly purchased high-value accidental death insurance for his wife and two children.

Bai Jing was filled with doubt, wondering why only the mother and her two children were insured, while he himself was left out. Lin Bin cleverly explained that he was currently short of money and could only prioritize insuring his family. His words warmed Bai Jing's heart, and she completely dispelled her doubts.

The accidental death benefit from this insurance policy was in the millions, just enough to fill the company's huge financial hole. Lin Bin was single-mindedly plotting to stage an accident that would kill his wife and two children.

The turning point came on his way home from get off work one day. He bumped into Aunt Zhang on the phone in the stairwell and inadvertently learned that she had received her medical report and was diagnosed with a terminal illness, with less than a year to live.

A sinister plan was thus formed. Lin Bin secretly approached Aunt Zhang, offering her a reward of one million yuan to instigate her to eliminate Bai Jing and her two children.

At the time, Aunt Zhang's son was nearly twenty and preparing for his wedding. The bride's family demanded a high dowry and a house in the city for the wedding, putting immense pressure on her. Knowing she didn't have much time left, she thought it would be worth it to exchange her remaining life for a million yuan to help her son settle down. After weighing the options, Aunt Zhang finally agreed to this sordid deal.

Five years ago, on the afternoon of April 30th.

Everything was within Lin Bin's meticulous calculations.

Before leaving, he and Aunt Zhang exchanged a quick glance in the living room; without a word, they had already reached a tacit, unspoken understanding. Lin Bin then pretended to be normal, changed his shoes, and drove to the company.

At that time, Bai Jing had taken cold medicine, and the effects of the medicine took hold. She felt weak and sore all over, and had already fallen into a deep sleep in the bedroom.

As agreed beforehand, Aunt Zhang secretly added a sufficient amount of sleeping pills to the bedtime milk of her two toddlers, who were just over a year old and still unaware of their surroundings. The young children, completely unsuspecting, closed their eyes and fell into a deep sleep shortly after drinking the milk.

After confirming that the mother and her two children were all incapacitated and unable to call for help, Aunt Zhang slowly stood up, her eyes cold and resolute.

She gradually sealed all the doors and windows of the house, completely cutting off all escape routes. Then she went into the kitchen, turned on the gas valve, and rushed into the bedroom, setting the bedding on fire.

The flames erupted instantly, engulfing the bed curtains and furniture, and the scorching fire quickly swept through the entire room.

After doing all this, Aunt Zhang didn't linger for a moment. Before the fire completely blocked the exit, she quickly packed her belongings and fled the community in a panic.

The fire raged fiercely, and thick smoke billowed into the bedroom.

Bai Jing, who was in a deep sleep, was awakened by the scorching heat and choking smoke. She had a splitting headache, weak limbs, and no strength left in her body.

She knew something was terribly wrong, and immediately struggled to crawl to the bedside to protect her two young children, screaming for help while frantically searching for the nanny, Aunt Zhang.

The house was completely empty; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Bai Jing felt utterly hopeless, but still, relying on her maternal instincts, she used her last bit of strength to shield her two children beneath her, trying to use her own body to protect them from the scorching flames.

However, the fire spread too quickly, and the entire house was engulfed in flames.

The raging flames devoured everything, and in the end, the kind mother and her two innocent children perished in the inferno, their bodies burned and mutilated, a truly tragic end.

Meanwhile, Aunt Zhang, who had set the fire and fled, rushed back to her hometown overnight.

After the devastating fire, the property management immediately called the police, and firefighters and officers rushed to the scene. Everyone knew that the nanny was home before the fire, but after the entire incident, Aunt Zhang disappeared without a trace.

All the suspicions naturally pointed to her.

The police quickly launched a manhunt and soon apprehended the man at Aunt Zhang's hometown.

By then, Aunt Zhang had already given up on everything. Knowing that she was terminally ill and didn't have much time left, and thinking of her lifelong wish to earn a million-dollar reward to help her son with his wedding house and dowry, and to start a family, she did not resist at all after being arrested and cooperated with the interrogation throughout the process.

She insisted that the reason for the arson was due to disagreements with the female homeowner, Bai Jing, regarding childcare, which had led to resentment and a desire for revenge. She confessed to all the crimes without reservation.

The trial proceeded exceptionally smoothly, without the slightest setback, perfectly concealing the true mastermind behind the scenes.

After the case was settled and the verdict took effect, Lin Bin, in accordance with the secret agreement, quietly transferred the remaining 500,000 yuan reward to Aunt Zhang's son's account.

With a mere one million, he obtained an insurance payout of eight million, filling the company's huge funding gap and preserving his career and personal wealth.

He further capitalized on this tragedy of family destruction to cultivate a persona of a deeply affectionate widower and a tragic father, which resonated with the entire internet. In the years that followed, he amassed a fortune by playing the victim to gain followers and by making money through live streaming.

The hundreds of thousands of viewers in the live stream felt a chill run down their spines, and the chat exploded.

[My God! It was a hired murder! He planned it all from beginning to end!]

The nanny is just a scapegoat! The truly malicious people always stand in the light, seeking sympathy!

[To kill one's wife and children for money—what kind of heart does this person have? It's terrifying!]

No wonder the nanny died a year after being imprisoned! She was probably silenced by him!

"You're talking nonsense! It's all fabricated out of thin air!" Lin Bin roared, his voice trembling with fear. He was certain that no one else was present during his private transaction with Aunt Zhang, and that he had never left any written or audio evidence. The other party simply couldn't produce any concrete proof.

Shen Jingshu chuckled lightly, her words hitting the nail on the head: "I'm talking nonsense? Then let me ask you, since you're a victim in this case, why would you use an anonymous account to transfer 500,000 yuan to the nanny Zhang's son in multiple installments? The police can easily find out by checking the bank statements that the account received a total of one million yuan in anonymous remittances before and after the arson incident. And the insurance company's records show an eight million yuan claim that's still perfectly preserved. Are you suggesting I fabricated all of that?"

These words completely shattered Lin Bin's last shred of hope. He was extremely panicked inside, but he still stubbornly refused to back down.

"You're nothing but an online fraudster! The police investigated thoroughly back then but couldn't find any clues. Now you're accusing me of killing my loved one based on just a few baseless claims. Do you think you're more powerful than the police officers who handled the case?"

"I'm just revealing the buried truth. Whether you accept it or not is no longer important." Shen Jingshu said calmly, then turned to another strange incident, "Next, let's talk about that Soul-Suppressing Well."

"Your wife and children died unjustly, and their souls have been unable to enter the cycle of reincarnation, lingering around you. When they finally saw your cold-blooded, ruthless, and murderous true nature, they were filled with resentment and haunted you day and night. During that time, you were restless and unable to eat or sleep, and you were even afraid to close your eyes to sleep."

Outsiders only think you're depressed because you've lost your family and are overwhelmed with grief, but who knows the truth? You're clearly afraid that vengeful spirits will come to claim your life, and you live in constant fear. With nowhere else to turn, you've been searching everywhere for sorcerers who know unorthodox methods.
