Dean Chu could hear the Taoist's inner voice. As the saying goes, talented people have extraordinary appearances. He was not a person who could easily get by without making a fuss.

But Dean Chu, as the head of the academy, was worried about someone dying, so after much hesitation, he reached out and peeled the talisman off Sun Xiangfeng's face. The talisman slipped away from his body, and Sun Xiangfeng collapsed to the ground like a shadow puppet with its bones pulled out.

Xia Chi shouted at Dean Chu, "Dean, you two better stay away from him. He's full of karma. Maybe he did something unforgivable and is suffering retribution. Don't get involved with this bad luck."

Dean Chu understood the hidden meaning in the Taoist's words and immediately threw away the talisman paper and took three steps back.

As a surgeon in the hospital, Sun Xiangfeng has always been a prominent figure in the hospital. He was promoted to senior professor in his early forties. He looks respectable with a pair of black-framed glasses and his white coat is always straight. He has charmed countless young nurses.

But what is strange is that this golden bachelor who claimed not to get married suddenly got married a few years ago. He married a nurse in the hospital. Not only was she plain-looking, but she was also a second marriage with a child.

Although they were not a good match and the wedding was hastily done, their colleagues all sent their blessings.

As a result, an accident happened less than half a year after their marriage. It was said that when the couple went to the geological park to climb a mountain, the wife accidentally fell off a cliff and died before the ambulance arrived at the hospital.

Sun Xiangfeng cried heartbreakingly in the ambulance, clinging to his deceased wife's hand tightly and refusing to let go. The emergency nurses were moved by his words and praised the couple's love for each other.

Dean Chu looked at the body bag next to the hearse, and when he thought about what he had just said when he was confessing, he couldn't help but feel confused.

"Director Sun, you just said that you harmed your wife. What do you mean by that?"

Sun Xiangfeng trembled all over, and caught a glimpse of the old lady who was immobilized by the talisman. His eyes rolled around rapidly, and suddenly he beat his chest and stamped his feet and started wailing.

"It's all my fault." He cried sincerely, "If I hadn't insisted on taking her out to exercise, if I hadn't held her hand...how could she...how could she..."

"They acted really like it," Xia Chi said, curling his lips. "We deliberately found a place without cameras, so Kang Yingdi accidentally fell in."

Dean Chu: “…”

Now I know what's going on. No wonder the police kept coming to investigate and told us not to alert the victim. If this guy was truly innocent, he wouldn't have come to steal the body.

Dean Chu: "Kang Yingdi's body is still warm. Where are you taking her?"

Sun Xiangfeng's crying stopped abruptly: "This..."

[Of course, they took it to be cremated to destroy the body. It's a standard procedure. Anyone who kills people knows it.]

[However, cremation requires the signature of an immediate family member...]

Xia Chi looked around and suddenly pointed at the hearse and shouted, "Hey, why is there someone hiding under this car?"

The middle-aged security guard rushed to the hearse in two steps and pulled out the nurse hiding under the car. The man was trembling like a frightened quail, obviously terrified by the scene just now.

The security guard brought the man to the director. The nurse felt guilty and confessed before he was even asked.

"Yes, yes, it's him," he pointed at Sun Xiangfeng, "He asked me to come. He said that as long as I agreed to sign the cremation document, the insurance would pay for it. He would then give me 200,000 yuan and buy me a car."

Dean Chu looked at his youthful face, thinking he was only about seventeen or eighteen years old. "What's your relationship with Director Sun?"

The man was so ashamed that he couldn't open his mouth: "...He is my stepfather..."

“!!!”

Even Dean Chu, who was well-informed, was shocked: "Kang Yingdi is your mother?"

Xia Chi felt the old lady's body trembling.

[As expected of a great ancestor, this truly brings honor to our ancestors.]

It's such a pity for Kang Yingdi. She was neglected since childhood, and her ex-husband was abusive. After finally getting a divorce, she raised her child alone, only to meet a scumbag with a beastly heart. She was even sucked dry by her son until her death. How tragic.

Turning to look at Yaozu, he couldn't help but roar in his heart.

"That's your biological mother. How can you be so selfish? Your stepfather encouraged you to do this. Have you ever doubted the cause of your mother's death?"

[Or, despite my doubts, since the person is dead, I might as well get some benefits??!]

Dean Chu adjusted his glasses. The old doctor, who was used to witnessing life and death, was also nauseated by the stench of human nature. He looked at Dr. Sun with disappointment.

"Since it was an accident, cremation requires a death certificate issued by the public security authorities. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Sun Xiangfeng: "I just couldn't bear to see her stay in such a cold place. I wanted to bury her as soon as possible."

"You're not trying to kill your wife to get insurance money, are you?"

The middle-aged security guard suddenly realized what was happening and asked the young man, "You just mentioned insurance, what kind of insurance?"

Young man: "He said he just bought my mother's personal accident insurance, which can pay out more than one million yuan."

[It wasn't over one million, it was over ten million. He bought five insurance policies from different insurance companies.]

[Otherwise, how could he have paid off his gambling debts? This old gambler has already been deeply in debt.]

Sun Xiangfeng, like a dog with its tail clipped, retorted, "I buy insurance for my family every year. This was an accident, purely coincidental."

Security guard: "Why don't I believe what you said? When you married Sister Kang, the hospital was rumored to have a doctor marry a nurse. I felt something was wrong, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Did you marry Sister Kang just to kill your wife and defraud the insurance?"

[You're right, it's for this dish of vinegar dumplings.]

Sun Xiangfeng's face turned pale. "What nonsense are you talking about? She fell because she didn't stand firmly."

"Really?" The security guard sneered, "You were the only one present when Sister Kang had the accident, and you also happened to have bought her a large insurance policy. You must be involved in this matter."

The security guard didn't waste any time talking to him. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number: "Hello, is this 110? I want to call the police..."

Sun Xiangfeng suddenly jumped up and tried to snatch the phone, but he looked like he was paralyzed and was knocked down by the security guard in a few seconds.

[Tsk tsk, the security guard is righteous. Just call the police. The police are investigating him.

[Don't think that without surveillance, there's no evidence. You're underestimating Uncle Hat.]

The police are incredibly thorough. They'll even find out everything about you, not just your insurance, but how many mistresses you've had, how many takeouts you've ordered, how much gambling debt you've owed, and how much you've borrowed from loan sharks.

Is the police database just for show? With that kind of intelligence, you're still trying to commit murder?

[I now believe that the bad guys are a bit brain-dead, trying to cover up their crimes with such a petty trick.]

[It’s just…poor Kang Yingdi…]

If Xia Chi had not used the soul-calming talisman to suppress it, Kang Yingdi, the evil ghost transformed from her resentment, would have killed everyone long ago.

Xia Chi looked at her crazy yet sad expression, and his heart suddenly ached.

[Girls in this world always give their true feelings to the wrong person too easily. ]

[With just a few sweet words, she dared to step into his house alone. With just a few vows, she dared to follow him to the ends of the earth.]

[Even though their strength was as different as a lamb and a tiger, they were able to sleep peacefully in his bed.]

[Just for a sweet "I love you..."]

What would you think when you fell off a cliff?

"Hello."

Xia Chi's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. He turned around and saw Jiang Nan standing behind him with an expression that seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

"Do you need my help?"

Xia Chi: "No need."

"But..." Jiang Nan scratched his forehead: "You look... not good."

Not only is it bad, it is outrageous.

Always riding on the old lady.

"……Too."

Xia Chi jumped to the ground, following Jiang Nan's outstretched hand. The old woman's body continued to twist and turn, as if something inside her was clamoring to burst out, and her eyes were almost bleeding.

Xia Chi couldn't bear it and whispered in her ear.

"I know you feel wronged, but there are a few things I don't know whether I should say or not."

Xia Chi told it anyway, regardless of whether he should or not.

"Look, it's perfectly natural for you to seek revenge, and I won't stop you. But now you're occupying this old lady's body, and if you attack her, it's like she's attacking you. She's been a vegetarian her whole life, and wouldn't even have the heart to step on an ant. She's finally enjoying a peaceful life, and now not only is she going to be sued and jailed, but she's also going to have to pay back all her retirement savings. What the hell did she do to offend me?"

A hint of hesitation flashed across the old lady's scarlet eyes, and her pupils dilated slightly.

Xia Chi sighed softly and gently uncovered the soul-calming talisman with his fingertips.

The air suddenly froze.

The old lady looked at the Taoist priest, obviously not expecting him to do this.

"Go ahead," Xia Chi said to him, "Leave an indelible psychological scar on him. But be careful with your severity. Killing him would be too easy for him. Leave the rest to retribution."

Xia Chi leaned close to her ear stealthily and said, "I'll tell you the truth. This man killed his wife to defraud insurance and even tried to destroy the body. He's a wicked man and will definitely be punished. When the verdict comes out, I'll print a copy and burn it for you. Remember, don't kill anyone, so I can find someone to help you."

He winked mysteriously at the old lady and said, "To be honest, I know a very powerful King of Hell..."

An indescribable sorrow flashed across the old woman's eyes, then turned into gratitude. The bloodshot faded, her withered body swayed, and she collapsed to the ground like an old tree struck by lightning.

“Ahhhhh…”

Dean Chu heard some mumbling, but he couldn't make out what was being said. Suddenly, Sun Xiangfeng in front of him let out an inhuman scream. His entire face twisted into a strange, twisted shape, veins wriggling beneath his skin like earthworms. His mouth bulged to the point of tearing at the corners, and his eyeballs threatened to bulge out.

"This, this, this..." Dean Chu was frightened by his miserable condition and his scalp went numb. He quickly turned to Xia Chi.

"Master, Master, please come and see what's going on."

"Ah?" Xia Chi walked over, carefully observing Dr. Sun who was twitching on the ground, and drew a cautious conclusion.

"It's okay."

Dean Chu: "Is this okay?"

"It's really okay, this guy..." Xia Chi thought for a moment: "He's just pretending."

“Pretending???”

Dean Chu watched helplessly as Sun Xiangfeng's nails scratched bloody marks on the ground.

You call this pretending?

"Yeah, it's 100% fake. He's using this self-torture tactic to escape legal punishment."

Xia Chi was certain: "This grandson is so damn good at pretending."
