The true heiress felt a pang of heartache, and the crazed villains panicked.

Chapter 175 I will still abide by the rules of the game.

The amount of information was overwhelming, and Hu Qin was completely bewildered.

how could be?

In her opinion, there was no better man in the world than her husband.

I hand over my salary and do all the housework.

He is the one who picks up and drops off the children from school every day, and even tutors them in their studies.

She could focus on her work without worry. Even if he came home late at night, he would always wait for her and prepare a late-night snack for her.

While everyone else envied her for having a child, she was the only one who didn't.

Yet, this exceptionally good man, whom she could only dream of, was told by someone that her husband was not only cheating on her, but also trying to kill her.

That's an absolute joke.

Hu Qin raised her chin, exuding the aura of a powerful woman: "I don't care who you are, you'd better let me go back immediately, otherwise, don't blame me for calling the police."

She had cultivated connections within the police force over many years.

Si Xingran raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

He's always the one threatening others; no one has ever been able to threaten him.

Except for his mother.

Thinking about it this way, Si Xingran became even more annoyed.

He took the production crew's phone directly from Lin Sui's pocket. Although it wasn't as convenient as his own phone, he managed to get everything he needed after a few tries.

"Open your dog eyes and look carefully, don't say that our Master Lin is lying to you." He shoved the phone screen into Huqin's face.

Hu Qin frowned and looked at it, then paused in surprise.

Si Xingran retrieved surveillance footage from a maternal and child health hospital, along with a file document.

The document clearly lists her husband Jiang Ping's name as her father, but her mother's name is listed as a stranger.

In the surveillance photo, Jiang Ping's face was particularly clear. He was leading a woman with a slightly protruding belly into the hospital, his face beaming with the smile of someone who had just become a father.

But he already had a daughter.

Huqin murmured in disbelief, "How... how could this be..."

"If you still don't believe me, you're welcome to come to the Three-Pronged Clan for consultation anytime. We have as much irrefutable evidence as you need." Si Xingran put away his phone and smiled with raised eyebrows.

Huqin was stunned, unable to recover from the shock of the facts for a long time.

Lin Sui then continued, "Because you earn more than him, he's been dissatisfied with you for a long time because of his inferiority complex."

“In your eyes, he is a good man, but in his own eyes, he is just a male nanny who serves you and your daughter all day long, a gigolo, and someone who will be ridiculed by others.”

"Furthermore, he has always wanted a son, but you were afraid that getting pregnant would cause you to lose your promotion opportunities, and you also felt that it would be better to focus on raising your daughter, so you refused, which made him even more resentful."

Lin Sui's every word hit the mark, leaving Hu Qin no choice but to believe him.

She gritted her teeth and said, "He's dissatisfied, he's resentful, a divorce would have been fine, why did he have to..."

As soon as she asked the question, she remembered what Lin Sui had said earlier, that he didn't want her to get a share of the property. She was so angry that she cursed, "You dog of a man! The car and the house in the house, every single one of them was earned by my hard work. How dare he not let me get a share?"

"I'll make him leave with nothing today, and then I'll sue him for attempted murder!"

As Hu Qin turned to leave, Lin Sui called out to her, "Wait."

She looked back in confusion.

Lin Sui asked, "What is the name of the woman who lives in apartment 302 of this building? Do you know her date of birth?"

She can deduce some things about her owner through their name, but it's very limited and not as clear as divination based on facial features, since there are too many people in the world with the same name.

But it's different when you add the birth date and time (the "Eight Characters" of birth).

Unfortunately, this family doesn't seem to like interacting with their neighbors, and their relationship with them is very distant.

When Sister Tian talks about it, she only refers to it as "a woman on the third floor," and what she knows is only the image that this family deliberately presents to the outside world.

Hu Qin, in a fit of anger, finally realized that she was in the notoriously haunted building in the neighborhood.

She couldn't help but hug her arms and rub them together, surprised that Lin Sui and his group dared to come to the haunted building.

Then she remembered that Jiang Ping seemed to have told her that someone was coming to record a program. She hesitated for a few seconds, but then thought that Lin Sui might be able to help her uncover the truth about the murder of the young girl, so she told him.

"Her name is Hu Liyun. I don't remember the exact year she was born, but I know her birthday is April 18th."

enough.

Lin Sui raised her hand, calculating as she asked, "In your opinion, what kind of woman is she?"

Judging from Hu Qin's appearance, the person who understands Hu Liyun the most is undoubtedly her.

Even after Hu Liyun was confined to a mental hospital, she would still visit her from time to time.

“Liyun is very timid. Everyone says she cheated on her husband and committed murder, but I didn’t believe it at first,” Hu Qin said without hesitation.

They're from the same village and have known each other since childhood.

Hu Liyun lost both her parents at a young age and was raised by her grandparents, which led to her being bullied and developing a timid and fearful personality.

Back then, she was practically the only one who would help her and play with her.

Later, she was admitted to a good university and went north to study. However, Hu Liyun had to give up her studies and go south to work because her grandfather was seriously ill and needed money urgently.

Two people from opposite ends of the country gradually drifted apart and lost contact.

It wasn't until a few years ago, when she moved to Jinxiu Garden to make it easier for her daughter to attend school, that they reconnected.

It was at this time that she learned that Hu Li had met her husband in her first year in Yunnan.

At that time, her husband was already an outstanding graduate of a prestigious university. He met her while she was working as a waitress at a restaurant.

Although Hu Qin had doubts—after all, Hu Liyun was not particularly good-looking and came from a poor family, while Hu Liyun was a graduate of a prestigious university and her parents were business people, so the two were really not a good match.

But their child was already in junior high school at the time, so no matter how surprised she was, she didn't ask any more questions and just assumed that Hu Liyun's suffering had finally come to an end.

Even so, Hu Liyun still seems timid and introverted, and over the years, she still only has one friend she can talk to.

“But I’m usually busy with work, so I don’t have much time to talk to her.” Hu Qin sighed. “To be honest, I think she already had a serious tendency toward depression before the murder happened.”

“She would always start crying suddenly while she was talking to me, crying and saying sorry to her son.”

“I was really worried, so I introduced her to a psychologist. Once, when I was out running errands, I saw her chatting happily with the psychologist.”

"I thought she would get better, but I didn't expect..."

Hu Qin sighed again, feeling dejected: "I no longer believe she would kill someone, but the police have proven that the murder weapon was covered in her fingerprints, so I have no choice but to believe it."

Lin Sui's calculations have also yielded results.

Her expression was slightly serious.

At this moment, Tan Huizhen, who was eavesdropping on the second floor of the stairs, whispered to Li Jianping: "I feel that the truth has come out. Her husband must have thought that she was having an affair with the psychologist, and he made a big fuss with her and forbade her to go again."

"As a result, her illness worsened, and she eventually lost control and killed her husband and son."

Anyway, she didn't believe it. If a mother wasn't sick, would she really have the heart to kill her own son?

Lin Sui looked up helplessly: "Why don't you just come down and listen?"

Tan Huizhen was taken aback, then gave an awkward smile.

Lin Sui ignored her and asked Hu Qin, "What are her husband's and son's names? Have you seen them?"

"I've met her once or twice," Hu Qin nodded. "Her husband's name is Zou Qiang, and her son's name is Zou Yiming."

"If she stays at my house a little late, her husband will come to pick her up. He seems to be a very polite person."

"As for her son, he is not talkative, just like her. I have only heard him say two sentences, which was calling me 'Auntie' twice."

That was all Hu Qin knew. Lin Sui stopped asking and said, "Alright, I'll see you out."

"No need, I..." Hu Qin wanted to say that she wasn't afraid of the dark, but when she turned her head and saw the tightly closed iron gate, she was so shocked that she was speechless.

The door was clearly locked with a chain, so how did she get in?

Lin Sui didn't explain, and casually swung his hand across the chain.

"Clatter!" The chain fell to the ground.

Lu Xiang laughed as soon as she saw it: "Wow, Sui Sui, you Taoists, besides catching ghosts and exorcising demons, you can also pick locks and steal things?"

She always thought that those spells could only deal with ghosts and monsters, and were useless against things in a physical sense.

Lin Sui: "Generally not."

Lu Xiang: "Then what about you?"

Lin Sui: "I'm in Class Two."

Lu Xiang: "..." What an old joke.

But she likes it~

After seeing Huqin out, Lin Sui locked the chain again.

When I turned around again, I was met with two stunned faces.

Tan Huizhen looked at Lin Sui with complicated emotions, then at the lock behind her.

Lin Sui suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said sincerely, "Don't worry, I will still abide by the rules of the game."

Tan Huizhen: "..."

[Hahaha, why is Suibao always so unpredictable and adorable!]

Ms. Tan: This game is unplayable now [doge emoji]

[A staff member: What's the point of me going through all that trouble to come up with a password? Does that count as me trying? [smile]]

After resolving the erhu issue, Lin Sui planned to check the Yin-gathering formation in the master bedroom to confirm her suspicions.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stepped onto the stairs, she felt a surge of resentment rising up.

Someone has broken the Yin Gathering Formation!

"Li Ye, hurry upstairs," Lin Sui said hastily.

Li Ye understood and immediately picked her up and ran uphill.

Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.

When the two arrived at the master bedroom bathroom, they only saw a wisp of a soul being collected into a gourd by Xu Haize.

What's going on? Has the ghost been captured?

[Aaaaaah! Can anyone tell me what happened? Is our fairy sister going to lose? No way!]

[I regret to inform you, as you are watching with screen mirroring enabled, that this is true. Master Xu really did break the formation, asked the vengeful ghost why it was harming people, and then simply subdued it!]

Did this guy surnamed Xu take some kind of super tonic? How did he suddenly become so powerful?

[I've never seen this gourd before; it must be a very powerful pay-to-win item.]

[Am I the only one who cares? Why are there these formations everywhere? And what Lin Sui said to that Mr. Bi about becoming a demon... I have a feeling there's a huge scheme going on behind all this.]

"Master Xu, you are so amazing and incredible! You took care of this ghost so easily!" An Yiming praised him incessantly, his eyes gleaming.

Money, a full forty million!

Just the two of them, him and Fang Lu, could each receive a whopping thirteen million!

Given Fang Lu's current obedience to him, wouldn't it be easy for him to get everything under the guise of marriage?

Xu Haize ignored him, but looked at Lin Sui with a cold expression and nodded slightly: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you flatter me."

Lin Sui looked at him calmly, her dark eyes seemingly able to see right into his heart.

Xu Haize's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned.

He thought for a moment and explained, "After the last episode ended, my master, who was traveling, rushed back and scolded me. He even made sure I watched the first two episodes."

"After taking a closer look, I finally discovered what Fellow Daoist Lin was doing."

"Therefore, I specifically studied the Yin Gathering Formation and successfully found a way to break it."

“Someone is raising ghosts, which is something that no one in the Taoist sect can tolerate. Even though my cultivation is not as good as yours, I still want to do my part.”

Lin Sui paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Xu has finally grown up. Congratulations!"

Si Xingran laughed jokingly: "To be enlightened after being scolded by your master, you must have been guided by a famous teacher. It would be such a waste if you didn't teach and nurture people."

Xu Haize: "..."

Before he could change his expression, Lin Sui asked again, "May I ask who your master is?"

Xu Haize: "A wandering Taoist priest without any sect or school."

Lin Sui said "Oh," and then asked, "Then how does Fellow Daoist Xu intend to deal with this evil spirit?"

"This vengeful spirit has committed numerous evils, causing the deaths of dozens of innocent people. It deserves to be annihilated and never be reincarnated."

Xu Haize paused for a moment, then said, "It's just that I'm not as powerful as Fellow Daoist Lin, so I can't eliminate him in one fell swoop. I can only put him in the gourd first, and then take him back so that my master can refine him in the Ghost Refining Furnace."

"That's too much trouble?" Yu Cinian smiled good-naturedly, "Wouldn't it be more convenient to just hand it over to our squad leader?"

"No way!" An Yiming was the first to disagree. "What if you defeat the demons and then take all the credit for yourselves?"

Lu Xiang scoffed: "Do you think those cameras and viewers in the live stream are just for show?"

Oh my god, so touching! Sister Lu actually cares about the lives of us viewers! [gif. crying and biting her handkerchief]

Xu Haize glanced at Lin Sui and said coldly, "It's not that I don't want to give it to him, but the vengeful spirit is not suppressed by any formation right now. I'm worried that if I release him, he will run away, which could cause a great disaster."

"I know Fellow Daoist Lin is powerful, but I'm just afraid of the worst-case scenario."

Lin Sui: "You're right. Then I wish you all the best in finding the key and leaving this place soon. Only then can we say you've truly succeeded."

After saying that, she turned and left, returning to her side bedroom.

“No…that’s not right!” Tang Xi sat close to her on the bed and said firmly, each word distinct.

Li Ye nodded solemnly in agreement.

Lu Xiang glanced sideways at Yu Cinian: "Who said he was brain-dead?"

Yu Ci Nian remained silent, watching Lin Sui in quiet contemplation.

Lin Sui: “…”

Yu Cinian's eyes curved into a smile, her gaze gentle and tender: "Yes, it's my fault. I trusted the squad leader too much. It's not the squad leader's fault for misjudging me."

Lin Sui: "..." Stop talking, she wants to be alone.

Although she had vaguely sensed something was wrong with this person since the last episode.

He was too quick to conclude that there were no ghosts on the island.

At first, Lin Sui did think it was because he was unaware of his own incompetence.

It wasn't until the appearance of the big-headed infant spirit that she truly began to have doubts.

According to outsiders, once clues appear, they should be curious about what exactly happened on the island.

His first reaction was to immediately eliminate the infant spirit.

Lin Sui couldn't help but suspect that he participated in the show not for the prize money, nor for fame, but rather...

she was.
