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

Her career, reputation, and dignity are all ruined, and she will never be able to recover in this lifetime.

She opened her mouth, desperately trying to explain, wanting to scream, "No, these are not my intentions, someone is trying to harm me!" But the power of the truth talisman had not yet dissipated. The power of this talisman could last for a whole day, and she still could not utter a word of explanation. She could only struggle in vain, her face full of despair.

Just as the crowd was filled with righteous indignation and the clamor was about to lift the roof off, the doors of the lecture hall were suddenly pushed open with a loud bang.

A group of uniformed police officers walked in with brisk steps and solemn expressions.

They had already received a report that this place was involved in a major case of rape and wrongful suicide of a teenage girl ten years ago. In fact, they had been guarding the door since Wang Xuemei began to confess her crimes, and they heard everything that was said inside.

Although the situation seemed somewhat strange, the police had to respond to the report in accordance with the law. The evidence was conclusive, and there was no room for hesitation.

Several police officers walked straight up to the podium and stood in front of Wang Xuemei, who was limp all over. The lead officer took out his badge and said in a serious and cold tone, "Wang Xuemei, we received a report that you are suspected of being closely related to a rape case and a female student suicide case from ten years ago. Please come with us to the police station to cooperate with the investigation."

"No! No way! I won't go!"

Wang Xuemei completely panicked, crying and struggling hysterically, her face ashen white. "I didn't do it! It has nothing to do with me! It's been ten years! Why are you arresting me?!"

She looked frantically at the school leaders and the dean of students below the stage, her eyes pleading, hoping they would say a word for her and save her.

The upright and incorruptible principal, after hearing all her crimes, was already trembling with rage. Without saying a word, he stood up angrily and left the lecture hall. The other leaders also turned their heads away, no one was willing to look at her again, and no one was willing to plead for this heinous devil.

With no chance of a turnaround, Wang Xuemei was firmly under police control, handcuffed, and dragged off the podium in a disheveled state, then escorted out of the campus.

This demon, who disguised himself as a teacher and committed evil deeds for ten years, has finally met his due punishment.

Seeing Wang Xuemei being taken away, Shen Jingshu finally felt relieved. She led Xu Zhixia, Song Ran, and Lin Miaomiao out of the lecture hall with the flow of people.

As soon as they stepped out of the venue, Xu Zhixia grabbed Shen Jingshu's hand, her face full of disbelief and her tone brimming with doubt: "Jingshu, you're amazing! But how did you know Wang Xuemei was that kind of person? And where did you find out about what happened ten years ago?"

She was closest to Shen Jingshu, and she couldn't suppress her questions any longer. The other two also looked at Shen Jingshu, their eyes filled with the same confusion.

Shen Jingshu looked at the three of them, smiled gently, and told a white lie: "I dreamed of a girl named Li Xiao. Her ghost came to me for help and told me about her experiences back then. I thought there would be a lot of people at the selection meeting today, and the leaders would be there too, so I wanted to try to scare Wang Xuemei in public. I didn't expect her to have such poor mental fortitude. As soon as she was questioned, she confessed everything."

"Huh? You dreamed about it?" Xu Zhixia frowned, still feeling something was off, like something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

"Okay, okay, don't think about it so much."

Shen Jingshu gently patted her hand, smiling as she smoothed things over, "Let's just wait for the police investigation results; the wicked will always be punished."

Song Ran and Lin Miaomiao exchanged a glance, then followed silently beside the two without asking any further questions.

The four avoided the noisy crowd and headed towards the cafeteria. The sunlight shone on them, and the warmth of being exonerated finally dispelled the gloom that had lingered over Kyoto University for ten years.

The power of the mantra did not dissipate when Wang Xuemei was taken away from the campus. This mantra, which could force out her true feelings, allowed her to completely shed all pretense and resistance in the police station interrogation room.

Faced with the police's detailed questioning, she could not hide anything and confessed all the sins she had committed ten years ago, even the sordid things that had never been exposed.

Only then did everyone realize that Wang Xuemei's malice went far beyond framing Li Xiao.

She was extremely vain to begin with. After marrying a male teacher from the same school, she was able to maintain a semblance of obedience at first, but as time went on, she became increasingly dissatisfied with her bland husband.

Every year when new students enroll, seeing those sunny, handsome, and energetic young male students, she can't resist the urge to prey on the students on campus.

She specifically targets two types of people: either seducing boys from wealthy families who are willing to cater to her, or coercing students from poor families who have no background or support. Over the years, she has abused and harassed quite a few male students, and her various acts are outrageous.

Wang Xuemei's confession regarding Li Xiao's wrongful conviction ten years ago further enraged the investigators.

She provided detailed information about the identities of several wealthy young men who had assaulted Li Xiao. Even more surprisingly, these men had a peculiar fetish: they filmed the entire process of humiliating Li Xiao and stored the video on a USB drive, which they never deleted for ten years.

Meanwhile, the police also found text message records from Wang Xuemei instructing them to commit the crime on the old phone of one of the rich kids. The evidence was irrefutable and there was no way to deny it.

Police acted immediately and, based on Wang Xuemei's confession, arrested all the wealthy second-generation individuals who had been on the run and in hiding for many years. The USB drive containing key evidence and the text messages exchanged between them became irrefutable proof of their crimes.

Thus, the case of the Peking University female student's wrongful suicide, which had been buried for ten years and caused Li Xiao to die with resentment, was finally solved and the truth was revealed to the world.

After the case was solved, the police station immediately released the investigation results, and Peking University also followed suit by issuing an announcement, officially dismissing Wang Xuemei from her teaching position, revoking all her honorary titles, and offering a belated apology to all teachers and students of the university, as well as to Li Xiao, who died unjustly.

After ten years of injustice, the truth has finally been revealed; all those who committed evil have been brought to justice.

On the night the dust settled, the campus was quiet. In the washroom of the girls' dormitory, only the ghosts of Shen Jingshu and Li Xiao stood facing each other.

Li Xiao's figure was much clearer than before. The heavy resentment that had surrounded him had long since dissipated as the truth was revealed and the villains were punished, leaving only a heart full of relief and gratitude.

She bowed deeply to Shen Jingshu, bowing three times respectfully, her voice soft yet full of sincerity: "Thank you, Master. If it weren't for you, I don't know how much longer I would have lingered in this campus with this injustice for the past ten years, never to see the day when my name is cleared."

"Your obsession stemmed from being innocent and wronged. Now that the wicked have been punished and justice has been served, and your wish has been fulfilled, you should no longer linger in the mortal realm. I will now send you to the underworld to re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and be reborn into a good family." Shen Jingshu spoke calmly, looking at the soul that had finally been freed before her.

Li Xiao nodded with tears in her eyes, without the slightest hesitation: "Alright, thank you for your trouble, Master."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jingshu said no more. She formed a hand seal, parted her lips slightly, and slowly uttered a deep and profound incantation.

A golden glow slowly flowed around her, and a dark, deep abyss of reincarnation appeared out of thin air on the floor of the washroom, exuding a chilling aura that was not frightening.

Two tall figures slowly emerged from the black hole. They were none other than Ox-Head and Horse-Face, unlike ordinary underworld officials. They exuded the majestic aura of the righteous gods of the underworld.

They looked up at Shen Jingshu, and upon catching the faint golden light and mystical aura surrounding her, their expressions immediately turned respectful. They bowed in unison, saying, "Master, you summoned us here. What are your instructions?"

Shen Jingshu nodded slightly, stepped aside to let Li Xiao stand beside her, and said gently, "Officers, this soul has been wronged for ten years. Today, her grievances have been redressed, her obsessions have been extinguished, and she has not committed any evil. Please take her to the underworld and judge her reincarnation according to the rules so that she can be reincarnated as soon as possible."
