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

In the dim light of the hallway, a slender figure dressed entirely in black stood silently at the doorway. The person wore a black baseball cap, the brim pulled low, obscuring most of their face, and exuded a chilling aura and a deathly malevolent presence.

Zhang Zhen's pupils contracted sharply, his blood froze instantly, and a terrified hoarse sound came from his throat. He didn't even have time to cry for help.

The next instant, a flash of cold light appeared.

The sharp blade pierced his abdomen, and excruciating pain suddenly erupted.

He didn't even have time to resist or beg for mercy before the second and third blows came one after another, each blow decisive and deadly.

Warm blood instantly soaked through his clothes, staining the cold entryway red.

Zhang Zhen's body convulsed violently a few times, the glimmer of hope in his eyes quickly faded, leaving only endless regret and fear. His body crashed heavily to the ground, lifeless.

The girl in black slowly straightened up and gently lifted the baseball cap that was pressing down on her eyebrows.

A fair and delicate face, which should have been gentle and bright, was exposed under the light. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and beautiful, but her eyes were filled with a coldness and death that had not been dispelled for eighteen years. There was no fear in her eyes.

She looked down at the lifeless man on the ground, her expression calm and undisturbed, devoid of elation or resentment, only a profound emptiness that comes from the satisfaction of avenging a great grudge.

She didn't turn and run away, but stood quietly at the door, as if she already knew the ending, or as if she calmly awaited her final judgment.

Within minutes, hurried footsteps and reprimands from downstairs rapidly approached.

Upon receiving the report and identifying the address, the local police officers rushed to the scene. As soon as the elevator dinged and arrived at the floor, the officers jumped out and were immediately confronted with a horrific scene in the entryway—

Blood was everywhere, the man lay dead on the ground, and a girl dressed in black stood alone at the door, waiting calmly, her hands outstretched with a serene expression.

All the evil hidden in the past has finally met its belated end tonight.

The following morning, the police issued an official statement announcing that the shocking serial murder case had been completely solved, the female perpetrator had been arrested on the spot, and the case would be handled in accordance with the law. The announcement deliberately omitted the killer's detailed personal information.

The fans who stayed up late last night watching Shen Jingshu's live stream already knew what was going on after seeing the announcement: Zhang Zhen ultimately couldn't survive past midnight and couldn't escape the blood debt he owed eighteen years ago. No one in the chat showed any sympathy; most just sighed that he deserved it.

Many people left rational comments, saying it was inappropriate to judge the whole incident casually. Those who have never personally experienced devastating harm can never truly understand the despair of victims trapped in nightmares for years, and have no right to lightly choose to forgive or generously forgive on behalf of the victims.

The screen switched back to the live stream, and the system quickly selected the third viewer tonight who was fortunate enough to have their fortune told, with a connection request popping up simultaneously.

Shen Jingshu said calmly, "Next is the third divination of the night. I'll connect with this netizen."

A window popped up in the live stream showing a third person connecting, whose profile picture was an adorable image of a child.

The connection was established, and the girl's figure slowly appeared in the camera's view. She wore thin-rimmed glasses, had fair and smooth skin, and gentle, refined features; just by looking at her, one could sense her kind and gentle nature.

She bowed shyly to the camera and greeted everyone in a soft, pleasant voice: "Hello Master Shen, hello everyone in the live stream, my name is Xiaoxiao. I'm very lucky to have been selected to connect with you. Today I'd like to ask you to help me calculate when I'll be able to conceive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

[This young lady has such a gentle voice, and her delicate features are so pleasing to the eye!]

Judging from her demeanor, she probably hasn't been married long. She seems to come from a harmonious family; perhaps she's trying to conceive?

[Preparing for pregnancy can't be rushed; when the time is right, you'll conceive naturally. The most important thing is to maintain a relaxed mindset!]

[I had been trying to conceive for over half a year without any success, so my husband and I went on a trip to relax. Not long after we got back, I found out I was pregnant! Don't be anxious!]

Since we finally managed to connect with the master, let him take a look; it'll put our minds at ease.

Xiaoxiao looked at the comments and sighed softly, explaining helplessly, "Actually, my husband and I have only been married for a little over a year. I wasn't in a rush, but my in-laws are quite traditional and have been hoping we'd have a child soon. My mother-in-law always says she's healthy now, and as long as I give birth smoothly, I won't have to worry about any of the childcare chores; they'll take full responsibility. Our family is fairly well-off; both my in-laws have stable pensions. They've also promised to cover all expenses from prenatal checkups to the child's birth and upbringing."

The live chat was immediately filled with envious comments.

[My goodness, what amazing in-laws! They're so generous with both money and effort, they're the best in-laws ever!]

[Marrying into such a family is such a blessing! Your husband must love you terribly!]

Following closely behind, several comments filled with grievances stood out.

[I'm so envious! Compared to my family, my in-laws are more eager than anyone else to have a baby. They always complain about feeling unwell, but since the baby was born, they've only visited a handful of times. They don't contribute financially or physically. I'm a full-time stay-at-home mom, and the whole family relies on my husband's salary. The pressure is overwhelming. I really regret having a child so early.]

[Same kind of hypocritical in-laws, always nagging and pushing, but offering no real help. My life is exhausting. Young lady, cherish this blessing.]

[Comment] If it were me, and I had such understanding and supportive in-laws, I would also be willing to focus on getting pregnant. No wonder Xiaoxiao was anxious.

Shen Jingshu asked calmly, "Do you have a photo of your husband?"

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao immediately turned the camera to the wedding photo displayed on the table. In the photo, the couple smiled and nestled closely together, their eyes brimming with undisguised happiness.

Shen Jingshu's gaze fell on the two people's faces, and she examined them carefully for a moment, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Xiaoxiao, are you home alone right now?"

Xiaoxiao nodded, her tone very calm: "That's right, I'm off work today. My husband drove his parents back to the countryside, saying he plans to buy some free-range chickens and eggs to make soup for me to nourish my body and help me conceive."

"Netizens started to feel envious again."

"She really met a good husband."

"Sister, what good deeds did you do in your past life to have such a wonderful in-law family in this life! I'm so envious!"
