The male supporting character was actually myself.

The "beloved concubine," disheveled and with a ferocious expression, scrambled to a corner, trembling, and pointed at the huge French windows, screaming, "It's right outside the window! There's a... there's a ghostly face watching us!"

After killing Murong Jiangchen and taking his place, Murong Liangchen pursued beauties while secretly acquiring properties everywhere, all in order to keep his mistress hidden away in the future.

Therefore, the houses he bought were all in relatively secluded locations, and this one was even on the top floor.

The 38th floor stood out among the surrounding buildings, so he wasn't worried about being spied on. For the sake of excitement, he didn't draw the curtains. Looking out from the bed in the bedroom, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows were clean and bright, offering nothing but blue sky and white clouds.

"Damn it, you're messing with me!" Murong Liangchen already had a psychological trauma, and having just been kicked at a crucial moment, he was both in pain and furious, so he slapped her across the face. "You worthless brat..."

As he was cursing, the fluffy ball outside the window took out a plastic mannequin arm from the system space and slammed it against the glass with a "bang".

The glass window made a muffled sound, causing the overly sensitive Murong Liangchen to instinctively turn around and look.

A blood-covered arm slammed against the glass repeatedly, leaving behind layers of bloody handprints!

"Ah!!!" The woman let out a heart-wrenching scream, and without caring about her disheveled clothes and trembling body, she ran out as fast as she could;

Murong Liangchen froze for a few seconds, the image of Murong Jiangchen's slender, pale fingers trembling during the dismemberment flashing through his mind, his blood flowing all over the floor like it was dripping from glass...

"Bang!" Another heavy slapping sound jolted Murong Liangchen out of his extreme panic. He swallowed hard, retreated from the bedroom, and his hands trembled so much that he could barely hold his phone. He finally managed to dial the number of Master Wang of Tingfeng Valley.

Chapter Sixteen: It's Haunted!

"Sigh..." Jiang Chen couldn't help but rub his forehead. What else does this protagonist do besides playing games and chasing women?

However, from Murong Liangchen's perspective, his life in the script is indeed that of a winner. Although he grew up without his parents, he was spoiled by his maternal grandmother and never lacked money. In fact, because of his lavish spending, he became the leader of his peers in the small rural town and lived a very comfortable life.

For twenty years, no one has disciplined or restrained them, and they have had enough money to squander.

Upon returning to the city, he discovered that his parents disliked him, so he immediately devised a plan to kill them.

He then easily killed his younger brother and took his place;

He pursued the goddess passionately, married a rich and beautiful woman, and reached the pinnacle of life.

His beautiful and wealthy wife became his tool, diligently managing the family business for him, while he enjoyed wealth and luxury, keeping all sorts of mistresses, changing his tastes every few days.

In a few years, Jiang Yulu and the other women will have children for him, and she will take over the Jiang family business, allowing him to become the richest man without lifting a finger...

Throughout Murong Liangchen's life, he basically lived as he pleased and got whatever he wanted. Even when he wanted to kill his parents and brothers, he acted immediately and carried it out smoothly without any flaws under the protagonist's halo.

"I wonder if your halo will still be useful after you die." Jiang Chen changed the subject, sighed and said self-deprecatingly, "I hope that after committing many evil deeds in your life, you still have a halo to protect you after you die, saying that your merits and demerits cancel each other out and that nothing will happen to you. You might even be able to skip the line and be reincarnated as a rich kid to enjoy life again."

When the scene switched to the original owner's childhood friend Wu Hongbo, the other person was holding a phone with a slight frown.

"Strange, why is Jiang Chen suddenly acting like a different person?" He looked at the reply he received on his phone and felt that this matter was very strange.

Wu Hongbo is the "disabled" classmate that the original owner helped during his middle school years.

The two had known each other since childhood, but their relationship was not close.

When Wu Hongbo was in middle school, he broke his leg and became unable to move around easily. The kind-hearted Murong Jiangchen helped him in every way, from carrying him up and down the stairs to fetching water and meals. The two childhood friends who had been in the same class since kindergarten finally became real childhood friends.

It wasn't until Wu Hongbo underwent several surgeries that his right leg gradually recovered. The two of them were admitted to different universities in the same city, and later they both took over their family businesses. Although they rarely saw each other, they always kept in touch.

It can be said that Wu Hongbo knows more about Murong Jiangchen than his parents do!

He had been busy with a very important project and hadn't had the time or energy to think about this. Judging from the reply he received today, Wu Hongbo carefully recalled when that kid started acting strangely.

Parents suddenly died in a car accident?

No, at that time, although Murong Jiangchen was very sad, he kept his composure and did not break down. He also arranged everything in an orderly manner. His low mood but not despondency was in line with his personality...

Wu Hongbo carefully reviewed the message, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. "From the moment I met Jiang Yulu! That's right, he texted me that noon saying we'd meet that evening, and everything seemed normal. I texted him before I left..."

He pulled up the chat history and looked at it carefully, confirming that his memory was correct.

On the day Murong Jiangchen met Jiang Yulu, the two chatted at noon and still felt familiar. However, before their meeting, he stopped replying to her messages. At the time, she thought he was preparing for the negotiations and didn't pay much attention. But when she took the initiative to message him again the next day, his reply was concise and there was nothing wrong with it, but something still felt off.

It's hard to explain this feeling; it's just the feeling of understanding each other that comes from years of knowing each other.

Even through the phone screen, Wu Hongbo could still sense the other person's indifference.

The two met again on the day of Murong Jiangchen and Jiang Yulu's wedding. They used to say that they wanted to be each other's best man, but when she brought it up, Murong Jiangchen refused outright, making up a lame excuse that he was worried she would steal the spotlight from the groom...

Thinking carefully, although his words and actions hadn't changed much from before, Wu Hongbo couldn't understand what had happened, especially his eyes, expression, and the sudden coldness in his demeanor. Murong Jiangchen's transformation was too fast.

"It can't be that..." He thought of how Murong Jiangchen had relinquished power and stepped down after their marriage, and frowned as he muttered to himself, guessing, "Is Jiang Yulu doing something to sow discord and isolate that silly boy?"

His personality has completely changed; now he can't even get involved in anything at the company, damn it! That idiot has probably been brainwashed by PUA and put under house arrest!

Wu Hongbo slammed his hand on the table and the more he thought about it, the more convinced he was that his theory was correct. Otherwise, how could he explain how a perfectly normal person started acting strangely after meeting Jiang Yulu?

“Brother, you’re thinking off-topic.” Jiang Chen was deeply moved by how concerned his childhood friend was about his affairs, and immediately decided to reveal the truth—he would also send a copy of the recorded video to Wu Hongbo in a dream!

Meanwhile, the emperor, played by Murong Liangchen, was enjoying a beautiful musical experience with his "beloved concubine" when, at the crucial moment, as he was about to finish the piece, a sharp, tearing sound came from the four strings. Suddenly, his "beloved concubine," with her eyes glazed over, kicked him and let out a piercing scream, "Ah! There's a ghost!"

Murong Liangchen, who was in high spirits, was kicked and gasped for breath, immediately wilting.

Hearing the other person scream that there was a ghost, he, who had been tormented by evil spirits before and was traumatized, quickly rolled to the side and looked around, "Where? Where is the ghost? What ghost?"

The "beloved concubine," disheveled and with a ferocious expression, scrambled to a corner, trembling, and pointed at the huge French windows, screaming, "It's right outside the window! There's a... there's a ghostly face watching us!"

After killing Murong Jiangchen and taking his place, Murong Liangchen pursued beauties while secretly acquiring properties everywhere, all in order to keep his mistress hidden away in the future.

Chapter Seventeen: Who Did He Kill?

Jiang Chen's perspective was centered on Murong Liangchen. After leaving the bedroom, he naturally couldn't see the little white cat raising its arms and pretending to be a ghost. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Not bad, not bad, it's going very well according to the original plan."

Start by gradually increasing the pressure on him from the outside.

Murong Liangchen, feeling guilty, should be allowed to frighten himself and become paranoid for a while. It's much better to keep him from having a good time than to let him eat and drink his fill and enjoy a life of leisure.

At the very least... judging from his condition just now, he'll be deflated for a while, hahaha~

"Damn it, you dare to kill someone with such a small amount of courage?" The fluffy dumpling was in the middle of her dramatic act when she saw the protagonist, Murong Liangchen, run away in a panic.

It had no choice but to put away its plastic arm and then use cleaning tools to wipe the glass clean and clear, making it impossible to see any trace of blood.

Then, after putting away the pre-placed camera, the little white cat hopped back onto the protagonist's head and meowed, "Host, did you see your adorable and cuddly little kitten's masterpiece? Aren't I amazing?"

Murong Liangchen felt like he was shaking off a chaff. As he retreated from the room and ran towards the elevator, he listened anxiously to the seemingly endless "beep beep" of his phone.

"Ghost! It's haunted!" A disheveled woman with her makeup ruined from crying jumped out and startled him again.

Murong Liangchen kicked him, "I fucking see you as a ghost!"

"I really saw it! A blood-covered human head was floating outside, slowly pressing against the glass and staring at me! I couldn't see what it looked like, it was just a black mass..."

She caught a glimpse of it briefly because it was backlit, and even now, recalling it sends chills down her spine.

The bloody handprints behind were even more impactful, leaving the woman somewhat dazed with fright. Seeing the other person's cold expression, as if they had done something wrong, she instantly realized—although she worked as a mistress, she had never committed murder or arson, so it was impossible for her to be haunted by such a terrifying ghost.

There's only one answer: Murong Jiangchen did something heinous, which is why evil spirits came knocking on his door!

After the initial panic subsided, the woman quickly regained her composure, determined not to provoke him. To be targeted by a ghost with a face and hands covered in blood, Murong Jiangchen was very likely…

She glanced at him cautiously and found that his attention was entirely on his phone and he didn't seem to notice her. She then stole another glance and saw that the elevator was still slowly climbing. The woman made up her mind, hastily wrapped her body in her gauze skirt, and ran towards the stairwell.

"Damn it, answer the phone already!" Murong Liangchen didn't have time to pay attention to the woman as he listened to the increasingly distant footsteps in the stairwell. Now that the evil spirit had attacked again, it was more important to find a way to save his own life.

As for her... if we can get rid of her with some money, we'll spend a little; if she can't control her mouth and talks nonsense everywhere, we'll have to consider flushing her down the drain too.

I don't know if she's telling the truth when she says she couldn't see his face clearly!

Thinking of this, Murong Liangchen suddenly became alert and immediately gave chase. What if she saw Murong Jiangchen's appearance but lied to her? Wouldn't that be...?

Feeling guilty about killing someone, his biggest fear now is that people will find out about the existence of "another version of himself".

Last time, the efficient Master Wang only managed to get things done by paying a large sum of hush money, and now there's another unlucky woman involved.

"Hey?"

The call finally connected, and Murong Liangchen, disregarding that they were still in the stairwell, lowered his voice and said, "Master Wang, that evil spirit is back! This time it's even fiercer, covered in blood, and came straight to our door. What should we do?"

Wang Baoyi was sitting upright in his luxurious villa's cultivation room when he heard the other person's trembling voice. He frowned and denied it, saying, "Absolutely impossible! I suppressed and banished that little evil spirit to the underworld long ago, never to be reincarnated. How could he possibly come back? You're just hallucinating because you're traumatized. I suggest you see a psychologist..."

"No! I wasn't the only one who saw it this time!" Murong Liangchen interrupted his slow, bureaucratic speech in a fit of anger, her voice trembling as she said, "My friend saw it too, she saw it first! A head was floating outside the window on the 38th floor, and it was slowly getting closer to look inside!"

She was so scared she kept screaming that there was a ghost, and that's when I saw it—I saw a severed arm banging on the window…

With just a simple description, the scenes of dismemberment flashed before his eyes. Murong Liangchen swallowed hard and said urgently, "Master, come to Dujiang quickly! Money is no problem as long as we can get rid of this guy!"

Wang Baoyi immediately perked up when he heard the word "money".

Murong Jiangchen recently married the only daughter of the richest family, which is incredibly wealthy! He had seen Murong Jiangchen's face and knew he was destined for a life of riches and honor. Plus, Murong Jiangchen had been very generous last time, so he felt it wouldn't be a waste to go there again.

What's more, there were other people who also saw the vengeful ghost, something they had never encountered before in their professional careers.

Based on past experience, the evil spirit that looks exactly like Murong Jiangchen must have been killed by him to be haunting him. However, this is a personal grudge and as long as the evil spirit is not provoked, it will not implicate others.

I clearly suppressed and banished the evil spirit, and I used the highest level sealing spell so that it should not have escaped. How could it have reappeared?

Has the situation changed in the underworld?

Or perhaps Murong Jiangchen committed other acts of murder?

Many thoughts flashed through Wang Baoyi's mind in an instant, and he readily agreed, "Okay, I'll report to the valley now and prepare to set off. I'll arrive in Dujiang City no later than tonight. I'll send you the transportation information, as usual, and you can send someone to pick me up at the airport or station."

After hanging up the phone, Murong Liangchen finally felt a little relieved.

Master Wang is quite powerful. Last time, when Murong Jiangchen turned into a fierce demon, he almost strangled himself to death. Master Wang struck him on the ground with his sword, and he couldn't get up. The whole thing took less than five minutes before he was banished and never appeared again.

Unfortunately, the effect didn't last long, otherwise why would they have come back?

They're even fiercer than before!
