The male supporting character was actually myself.

After discussing for a moment, Jiang Yulu hung up the phone and immediately contacted the person in charge of the case to apply for the installation of evidence collection cameras in the villa. She then contacted Murong Liangchen, who was lying in the hospital, hoping to use sweet words to trick him into leaving the hospital. She thought that as long as he stayed in the "haunted" villa, he might have a chance to get evidence.

Time ticked by, and Jiang Chen kept his eyes on both sides.

Murong Liangchen was still unwilling to be discharged from the hospital, so he couldn't help Jiang Yulu for the time being and could only focus his energy on Wang Baoyi. After the little white cat sent over the bank card information, he quickly figured out the problem.

A single woman in her fifties regularly transfers money to several accounts belonging to non-business owners and unrelated individuals every month.

He then traced and investigated through names and bank account records, identifying several "accomplices" aged between twenty-eight and forty-five. He even made a special trip to the underworld, where he had Qu Wenqing, the steward of the underworld, and the ghost king with whom he had business dealings identify them.

Qu Wenqing used his information channels to find out that these people were all once Celestial Masters, but they were expelled from the sect for being greedy and corrupt, and were therefore disloyal Celestial Masters with a criminal record.

The information given by the Ghost King was even more important. He discerned that the aura of the oldest of the group, the faithless Taoist priest named Zhang Qifan, was extremely similar to that of the masked man who attacked his beloved concubine that day!

"Really? The Ghost King is sure?!" Upon receiving confirmation, Qu Wenqing, who was eager to make a name for himself and eliminate the unscrupulous Taoist priests in the human world, was very excited. He grabbed Jiang Chen's hands and shook them, saying "Good!" three times in a row. "Follow the clues and if you can solve the case of the ghost-devouring master because of this, you will have made a great contribution!"

However, considering that they were all powerful Taoist masters when they made the transaction, it's really not safe for you to be just a ghost.

How about this...

After thinking for a moment, he went to the back hall and brought back a paper lantern. "This is a magical artifact I obtained a few years ago. As long as I hang it up and light it, I can record everything within a ten-meter radius."

Be careful while you're following them. Once they arrive at the transaction location, find a suitable spot outside, hang a lantern, and light it. That way, we'll have the footage to use as evidence.

Wow, the underworld really does have a lot of interesting treasures. This lantern sounds pretty good.

Jiang Chen took it, examined it carefully, and listened patiently to the other person's explanation of how to use it before bidding farewell and leaving in a hurry.

He ran around for a few laps, and by the time he returned to Listening Wind Valley it was already 3:30 in the afternoon.

"Host!" Upon receiving the news, the fluffy little dumpling rushed over and jumped into his arms, saying coquettishly, "That woman Wu Qin is still doing her eyebrows and putting on makeup, so she probably won't be able to leave for a while. Just wait for my good news!"

Jiang Chen stroked his fur and shook his head, saying, "The plan has changed. Qu Wenqing gave me a magic item that can record the other party's transaction process. I have to go there in person to take a look. Send me your location when you get there, and I'll go over and set up the lantern magic item."

"We still need official evidence? That's such a hassle..." The fluffy little thing frowned, somewhat unhappy. Fortunately, if there was any progress tonight, it could crush Wang Baoyi and avenge the original owner. So it nodded in agreement.

Wang Baoyi was very excited at this moment.

It is said that this batch of goods is extremely pure and full of energy. As long as one can fully absorb enough energy, one can successfully transcend tribulation and become the only Celestial Master in the present era to reach the Saint Realm!

Once you reach the realm of a sage, you no longer need to do those despicable things.

Since he no longer needed extra nourishment, there was no need to spend so much money secretly. With less financial need, he needed to plan for the future. He should do more good deeds to help the souls of the dead and accumulate good karma, so that after a hundred years, he could be directly welcomed into a good position at the headquarters of the underworld. As for his junior sister…

He chuckled silently and pursed his lips.

She was born into a family where no one would look down on her. Even though she was somewhat pretty when she was young, she was just a fool with no talent. How could she possibly be with an old woman who had neither talent nor ability a hundred years from now?

He was a dignified Celestial Master at the Saint Realm, and a future high-ranking executive at the Underworld Headquarters!

If he were to announce this, wouldn't countless pretty young girls be scrambling to get into his bed? After working hard for decades in the mortal world, striving to be pure of heart and free from desires, and focusing on cultivation so that he can avoid reincarnation and become a carefree immortal, he would definitely need to find a good Daoist partner worthy of him.

As for the future of junior sister Wu Qin...

He hadn't mistreated her all these years; she had only helped him make connections and run a few shady servants. The money he provided for her was enough for her to enjoy her old age in comfort.

I wrote a blank check to appease her, so she wouldn't mess things up at a crucial moment.

They got what they needed and treated her fairly. As for what will happen a hundred years from now, why would they care about an old, love-struck fool like her? They certainly wouldn't help her completely eliminate her negative traits, giving her the chance to continue to entangle them.

I've been annoyed enough for the past few decades...

"We only have a few days left, so we must stay calm!" Wang Baoyi packed his luggage and sat down to meditate in the courtyard. When Wu Qin drove the car to the gate, he hurriedly got up, grabbed his luggage, and got into the car.

The fluffy dumpling lay on the back seat, listening to the two people's "excited" vision of the future, while activating location sharing with its host.

Driving along the highway, as night was about to fall, Wu Qin drove off the highway and headed towards a small, undeveloped county town. There were only a few main streets, and people having dinner near dusk created a vibrant scene of daily life.

"They've arrived and are waiting for us at the usual spot." Wu Qin carefully observed whether they were being followed or noticed, and only drove the car into an old residential area after confirming it was safe.

With practiced ease, Wang Baoyi carried his luggage into the building and went up to the third floor. Before opening the door, he cautiously looked left and right to make sure there were no cameras or anything that could capture his image before hurriedly going inside and locking the door.

The little white cat quickly sent its location to its host.

"So well hidden... it can't be anything good." Jiang Chen's figure materialized in the corridor. After confirming the location, he flashed into an empty room next door, hung a lantern on the wall, and used his Yin energy to light it.

The green flames looked a bit eerie.

The fluffy little thing peeked out and then retreated, meowing softly, "Host, I'm afraid this thing might not work and we won't be able to get any evidence. Just to be on the safe side, I'll go and film a video!"

"Master Wang is here!" Several people who had been waiting inside the room wore fawning smiles, pointed to the bed and chuckled, "This time the goods are especially pure, you can see for yourself if you don't believe me!"

Wang Baoyi's face showed a hint of displeasure as he coldly said, "When you were making this dual cultivation puppet, you caused quite a commotion and got caught, didn't you?"

"Don't even mention it. This quality is so good that we spent a lot of money to find a particularly suitable time to refine it to make it even purer. We also investigated the situation at the time. They said that the person named Xian was just a little maid of the Ghost King. We thought it was a bit risky, but not too risky."

Just to be on the safe side, we specifically chose a small, unknown sect to perform the espionage mission, thinking that if something really went wrong, at least our side would definitely succeed.

Who knew that the little ghost girl wasn't a maid at all, but the Ghost King's beloved concubine? By the time we found out, it was too late. The boss acted without saying a word! After that, we quickly killed that guy surnamed Wang, and we made our safe escape.

I thought it would be the same as before, you would just give a heads-up and it would be fine whether those few who went to the underworld died or not, since they wouldn't be coming back anyway. Who knew that they would somehow come back and even complain to the City God.

Master Wang, we really did have a mistake in our intelligence.

But they haven't found anything in either the Yin or Yang realms yet.

"I guarantee you won't be angry anymore after you see the goods. We're only taking this risk so we can supply you with better products!"

"Hopefully, the goods are worth it for cleaning up your mess!" Wang Baoyi sighed, walked to the bedside, and lifted the white sheet covering it. His eyes lit up immediately. "Where did you find such a perfect container? Indeed, the risk was worth it!"

There was a girl who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old lying on the bed. She had delicate features and was clearly a little beauty.

At this moment, her eyes were tightly closed, her lips were black, and her face was pale and bloodless. If it weren't for her even breathing, she would have looked like a corpse that had already died.

Hearing her senior brother's praise, Wu Qin finally smiled and said softly, "You did a great job. I'll transfer the bonus to you later. My senior brother's point is that both the Yin and Yang realms are investigating closely, so you should all stay put for a while to avoid being discovered. We'll continue after things calm down."

Several corrupt Taoist priests were overjoyed upon hearing this, as it meant they wouldn't have to work for the time being and could enjoy a life of luxury with huge bonuses!

They had long been unable to make a living in the Celestial Master circle, and having only learned this skill since childhood, they were lazy and knew nothing about farming. If it weren't for Celestial Master Wang pointing out a way to make money, they probably wouldn't even be able to afford to eat.

As for what happens after they die, they don't worry about it. Anyway, following Master Wang, he won't mistreat his brothers. All the sins they committed are just a matter of performing a few more rituals.

After Wu Qin transferred the money to them, the group left happily. She said gently, "Senior brother, you should hurry up and start cultivating. I'll protect you in the living room."

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Junior Sister." Wang Baoyi readily agreed without ceremony. After she left the room and closed the door, he couldn't wait to start undressing and pounce on the bed to engage in dual cultivation with the girl who was barely alive and whose entire body was filled with the most intense Yin energy. He used the pure Yang and the most Yin energy to harmonize and aid his cultivation.

"Meow~ This is too scary!" The fluffy ball watched as the girl on the bed was still breathing, but her whole body gradually became thinner and shriveled at an incredible speed. In less than two minutes, she became a black and withered corpse, without even her last breath!

Upon hearing its alarmed report, Jiang Chen immediately sensed something was terribly wrong. He blew out the candle, took down the lantern, and disappeared into the empty room.

"This is simply... utterly outrageous!" Qu Wenqing was so angry after watching the images in the lantern artifact that he couldn't even find the words. He slammed his hand on the table in a fit of rage. "I'll send the evidence to the Underworld Headquarters right now and hand it over to the Inspector!"

Seeing Murong Jiangchen's guilty and regretful expression for not noticing the abnormality immediately, he sighed helplessly and said, "You don't need to blame yourself. That girl has already..."

Sigh, you heard what Wang Baoyi and the others said. These girls, who are called dual cultivation puppets, are specially selected to be born in yin years, yin months, yin days, and yin hours. Then they are used as containers to be forcibly stuffed with a large amount of yin energy, so that they gradually become tools.

This evil magic is a weakened version of the ghostly technique. From the moment she was chosen and first guided yin energy into her body, she was already beyond saving.

Wang Baoyi is now highly skilled and can absorb so much Yin energy from the entire human body in just over a minute, and then harmonize Yin and Yang within his own body, making his cultivation twice as effective with half the effort.

So, I don't know if he has any talent, but he must have done a lot of heinous and immoral things! The evidence you brought back this time is very important; it has solved a major case that the Underworld Headquarters takes very seriously!

Just wait for my good news. This time, we'll definitely wipe them all out. The Underworld Headquarters will certainly uphold justice and severely punish the evildoers. You'll have avenged those innocent victims.

Jiang Chen nodded, her heavy mood easing slightly.

Judging from their conversation, Wang Baoyi and his accomplices have committed such harmful acts more than once or twice. It is unknown how many innocent girls have become victims of his pursuit of power.

As for those poor girls, they were targeted by a group of thugs simply because of their unusual birth dates, some even sold off like Yu Xian by their own families. When will this world truly be fair and just...?

Qu Wenqing hadn't returned or sent any news, probably because he was very busy, but Bai Ling sent a message the next day at noon—Wang Baoyi and Wu Qin had gone missing.

At first, no one paid any attention. After all, Master Wang was exceptionally strong and had left the valley with his junior sister, Master Wu. Not to mention the human world, there were very few people in the underworld who could harm them. How could they possibly encounter any danger?

When the Valley Master couldn't contact the two, some people even shipped them as a couple and speculated that this pair of senior and junior disciples, both over fifty years old, had been entangled in love and hate for decades. They wondered if Master Wang had finally come to his senses and the two had gone on a date.

But as the time of being out of contact grew longer, the powerful Taoist masters in the valley all had a bad feeling.

No one knows what happened to the two of them, especially Bai Ling, who is the lowest-ranking junior Taoist priest who just entered the valley. She only heard rumors that Taoist priest Wu's car deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras. For the time being, it was impossible to find out where they went after they got off the highway. Almost the entire Listening Wind Valley was mobilized to search for them in the last place that could be found on the surveillance cameras.

The valley owner even went to the local City God Temple to inquire, but the result was probably not satisfactory, and the entire Listening Wind Valley was soon shrouded in a faint cloud of sorrow.

“Wang Baoyi is the face and cash cow of Tingfeng Valley. If something happens to him, it will damage the real interests and reputation of Tingfeng Valley. Of course, the Valley Master will be anxious.”

However, this time no one can save him. To be able to take the two away so silently, without even a chance to call for help, the Underworld Headquarters' actions this time must be swift and decisive. You need to be careful while you stay in the valley recently. The Underworld Headquarters will likely start by investigating Wang Baoyi and then filter through the entire Celestial Master community. I might be a bit busy and won't be able to visit you often.”

After replying to the message, Jiang Chen petted the cat and watched Jiang Yulu act cute and charming while dealing with Murong Liangchen, mainly to get him discharged from the hospital and go home as soon as possible.

The people Jiang's father sent to the town to investigate were very efficient. They quickly found the original owner's maternal grandmother's old neighbor and Murong Liangchen's elementary and middle school classmates, obtained a definite statement, and immediately applied to the relevant departments to intervene and collect evidence.

A person whose name cannot be found in the resident information, yet everyone in most of the town knows him.

Mentioning Murong Liangchen's name, many people would immediately curse him! Relying on his family's wealth and his grandmother's doting on him, he never cared about his upbringing and always used money to settle any problems, which made Murong Liangchen a street bully that everyone hated.

Many of his peers tearfully accused him of school violence. Those who had been persecuted by Murong Liangchen came forward to testify that he was completely different from his twin brother Murong Jiangchen, who often appeared on television news. The two had almost identical faces, but one was an angel and the other a devil.

After interviewing teachers, classmates, neighbors, the doctors and nurses who delivered the babies, and other women in the same delivery room, the evidence was determined to be valid and sufficient to prove that the Murong family did indeed give birth to twin boys, one of whom lived with his parents and was cared for by a nanny, while the other lived with his maternal grandmother in the town.

Although the two look very similar, their personalities and temperaments are worlds apart.

The senior executives of the Murong Group testified that Murong Jiangchen was a rare business genius who had the courage and vision to take charge of the group; while Jiang Yulu used documents provided by the evidence collectors to test Murong Liangchen, but Murong Liangchen couldn't even see the simplest loophole in the contract, let alone the company's planning and development direction.

The imposters couldn't even recite their own proposed corporate culture.

Whenever Jiang Yulu mentioned company secrets in casual conversation, he would use various excuses such as being sick and needing to rest, or having a headache to avoid discussing it further.

"The authorities have already collected evidence and reached a conclusion that he is an imposter. The lab's analysis report on the two people's blood samples is ready to use. Now, we still lack the most crucial evidence—how to prove that he is the murderer!" Jiang Yulu finished dealing with Murong Liangchen and sat outside the ward, deep in thought.

The authorities have already installed surveillance cameras at the villa for evidence collection. How can they get him to confess on his own?

Murong Liangchen, who had already fallen into the trap, was completely unaware of the danger. Lying on the hospital bed, he was still feeling quite pleased with himself. His celestial wife was indeed obedient and loved him so much that he couldn't extricate himself.

So, after hearing that I was sick, she rushed back from abroad overnight, didn't even sleep, and came to the hospital to take care of me. She was so worried that she became haggard, asking the doctor all sorts of questions, afraid that something might happen to her.

That way I can rest assured that there won't be any problems if she manages the company and raises the children in the future.

No way! Murong Liangchen rolled over, suddenly thinking about the uncertainty of the future. He frowned and considered that he had to prepare a will in advance. He absolutely could not let his son call another man "Dad"!

How can we prevent Jiang Yulu from remarrying with all her assets?

He didn't want to go through all the hard work of seizing his fortune only to have other men sleep with his wife, spend his money, and beat his children! He had to come up with a good plan to make Jiang Yulu a widow for the rest of her life and raise the children well so they would be filial to him.

In the underworld, as long as you have money, you can support countless female ghost sisters, but there's one catch—they can't have children. Although in the future, wealth can grant you eternal life and longevity, managing such a large business without children would definitely be exhausting.

If Jiang Yulu can meet her demands, then when she dies in her seventies or eighties in the underworld, out of consideration for their past as husband and wife, she might consider giving her some food. Continuing to be his wife is absolutely out of the question; with so many beautiful female ghosts, who would want to look at an old woman every day?

But how can he make Jiang Yulu continue to obey him even after his death?

Murong Liangchen decided to ask Master Duan if she had the chance, maybe there was something like a love potion in the underworld that would make her obedient after she ate it...
