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

The thugs who participated in the kidnapping and bullying back then knew the seriousness of the matter after a death occurred. Instead of obeying the Jiang family's instructions to destroy the video, they secretly backed it up and kept it. For many years, they have used this as leverage to repeatedly blackmail Jiang Miaomiao and demand huge sums of money.

Back then, Jiang Miaomiao's father personally stepped in, spending a lot of money to smooth things over at every level, forcibly suppressing the storm, blocking public opinion, and completely burying the matter.

But that scoundrel was cunning and greedy by nature, and had left a final backup.

Several years later, as a series of scandals involving the Jiang family were exposed, this previously hidden and deadly video was finally made public, instantly igniting outrage across the internet.

Public opinion spiraled out of control, and the Jiang family became the target of public criticism overnight.

The police responded quickly, immediately went to the scene to open a case and investigate, and took the still-shaken Jiang Miaomiao away for arrest.

With the complete clues and hidden evidence submitted by Shen Jingshu, coupled with the irrefutable video evidence, the trial progressed rapidly.

All the crimes were substantiated, and those who were bribed, abused their power, or helped cover up the murder were all implicated and thoroughly investigated and held accountable.

There is no arguing, no escape.

Jiang Miaomiao was eventually convicted and imprisoned. What awaits her is the fairest and most severe trial under the law, and a long prison sentence to come.

The massive Jiang Group faced utter destruction.

Beneath the foundations of large corporations lie countless shady gray-market supply chains and illegal operations. In the past, these operations were able to operate smoothly thanks to the cover-up of power and connections, with no one daring to investigate or expose them.

Now that the scandal has fully unfolded and public opinion is overwhelming, the edifice has collapsed instantly.

Jiang's stock price plummeted, hitting the daily limit down for several consecutive days, causing panic and disintegration within the group's board of directors.

Fearing being implicated and held accountable, major partners have rushed to terminate contracts, withdraw their investments, and abscond, leading to banks pressing for loans, project stagnation, and a collapse in reputation.

The once powerful and influential Jiang family is now teetering on the brink of collapse and bankruptcy.

Watching Jiang Miaomiao, who was high and mighty and committed evil with imprisonment, and seeing the Jiang family, which had been all-powerful and protected evildoers, completely collapse and decline, the overwhelming resentment that had lingered in Xiao Yi's soul for years finally dissipated little by little.

All resentment, all grievances, all deep-seated hatred—all will be put to rest.

Once the Jiang family is destroyed and Jiang Miaomiao is imprisoned, all the karmic consequences will be settled, and there will be no more regrets or entanglements in the world.

Shen Jingshu raised her hand to form a seal, and a dark and solemn ghost gate slowly opened in the void. A cool breeze blew, but there was no trace of ferocity, only the peace of yin and yang returning to oneness.

Today, Xiao Yi's grievances have been redressed, her resentment has dissipated, her mind is clear, and her soul is clean. She is now qualified to be reborn in the underworld.

The moment the gates of hell opened, the underworld immediately sensed it.

Upon hearing that Shen Jingshu was personally opening the gates of hell to send someone away, all the underworld officials rushed to come and guide them. Everyone knew that this mortal sorcerer was highly respected and respected in the underworld, and to be able to inherit her karma and do her bidding was an immense opportunity.

The various underlings fought over the task, but in the end, Black and White Impermanence, relying on their status and seniority, won the mission of guiding the spirits.

Two classic black and white figures appeared as if riding the wind, their aura solemn yet their attitude respectful.

Luo Yurou stood quietly beside Shen Jingshu, her fear and trepidation from their initial encounter with the Black and White Impermanence long gone. Having served her master for so long, she knew all too well that her master's reputation and influence were such that even in the underworld, no one dared to disrespect or belittle her.

The Black and White Impermanence stepped forward to greet him, their attitude humble.

"Thank you both for your trouble." Shen Jingshu nodded slightly.

"Mr. Shen, you're too kind. It's just my duty."

After the two responded, their gazes fell on Xiao Yi, whose soul was now stable and devoid of any remaining malevolence. They gently raised their hands and said, "Your earthly ties are severed, your sins have been settled. Come with us back to the underworld. Once the judge has recorded your deeds, you can be reincarnated."

Xiao Yi gazed deeply at the mortal realm one last time, her eyes now devoid of resentment and bitterness, only filled with relief and ease. She bowed deeply to Shen Jing Shu, then turned gracefully and followed the Black and White Impermanence into the Gate of Hell, slowly disappearing into the dark passage between Yin and Yang.

After seeing Xiao Yi off, Shen Jingshu anonymously transferred a generous sum of money to Xiao Yi's parents as compensation.

This money was entirely taken from the illegal proceeds after the Jiang family's collapse and liquidation. It was a way to recover a little bit of belated compensation for Xiao Yi, who died unjustly, and to comfort the two elderly people in their later years.

Xu Zhixia, Song Ran, and Lin Miaomiao witnessed the entire process from the initial injustice to the exoneration of the innocent. Seeing the villain fall from grace, the wealthy family collapse, and the wronged soul find peace, they felt extremely gratified and satisfied.

Meanwhile, online discussions remain heated and the topic remains highly popular.

Jiang Miaomiao's bullying and murder, the Jiang family's abuse of power and money, tax evasion, and cover-up of crimes have dominated the trending topics across the internet, sparking outrage and heated discussions among countless netizens.

Some lamented the tragic death of a young girl in the prime of her life, with no justice served for years; others angrily denounced the powerful and lawless families who abused their power; still others marveled at the cyclical nature of karma and the inevitable retribution, noting that even if evildoers remain at large for years, they will ultimately not escape the long arm of the law and the cycle of cause and effect.

Xiao Yi was exonerated and passed away peacefully, bringing the Jiang family case to a complete end and gradually calming the uproar online.

The day after everything had returned to calm, Shen Jingshu's phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed it was Chen Hai, whom I hadn't contacted in a long time.

This is the second time Chen Hai has proactively called for help since the last time he arrested a heretic.

When the call connected, Chen Hai's voice, as always calm yet tense, came through the phone. He immediately launched into a shocking case spanning multiple locations.

Recently, a series of disappearances of young girls have been reported across the country.

All the victims shared highly similar characteristics; they were all young girls with outstanding looks and beautiful figures.

What's even more horrifying and cruel is that when all the missing girls were found, they all died in the same way—their skin had been peeled off while they were still alive, a truly gruesome sight.

The killer's methods were ruthless, clean, and efficient, leaving no trace of a typical murder case. The perpetrator's movements were mysterious and difficult to trace, and no fingerprints, bloodstains, or any other human clues were left at the scene.

Police in various regions conducted a thorough investigation, exhausting all investigative methods, but they could not find even a trace of the murderer, and the case was completely deadlocked.

The logic of solving ordinary criminal cases completely fails in the face of this bizarre murder case.

Police stations in many places were at a loss and could only report the case up the chain of command. Ultimately, the case was transferred directly to the Special Affairs Administration.

After careful analysis, senior investigators in the bureau unanimously concluded that:

This is definitely not the work of an ordinary criminal; it is most likely the work of a high-level evil spirit, deliberately committing the crime.
