I knew where I could start 

looking for clues.

 I directly drove to the public cemetery. I wanted to find that gray-haired old man. 

He had burned paper money outside the villa

, and

 I 

suspected

 that Jiang Teng or Jiang Guanguan had caused the death of one of his family 

members

.

Perhaps h

e had done that to vent out his grief? My intuition told me that he would come to the cemetery again to worship the dead. 

I had been waiting at the gate of the public cemetery until nightfall. Finally, the old man came with a basket of fruits. 

When he walked past me, I grabbed his hand. He reacted 

quickly, just

 as though he was afraid of

 me

. He threw his basket 

at

 me and ran away. Luckily for me, he wasn’t fast enough

. He was also limping

 a lot. 

I didn’t chase after him. “Uncle, did Jiang Teng cause the death of one of your family 

members

?” 

The old man halted. He turned and shot me a fierce glanc

e. He shouted

, but his voice 

choked

 with his sobs. “You stand on the same side 

as

 that filthy animal!” 

I rushed to him. 

I looked him

 in the eye

 and 

explained

, 

“Uncle, I have nothing 

to do 

with Jiang Teng. He invited me here to 

investigate a

 paranormal phenomenon in his house. However, I

’ve

 found many things 

that didn’t look right

 while working with him. That’s why I

’ve

 come to you.” 

The old man looked at me. At first, he didn’t fully trust me. In the end, he waved his hand and said, “Come with me.” 

After a short walk, he stopped in front of a grave. Stroking the portrait on the tombstone, he sobbed again. “This is my daughter, Tiantian.” 

Under the moonlight, I looked at the portrait. It was an eighteen years old girl with a bright and sweet smile. 

“My little daughter killed herself last month.” 

Before I 

asked

, he started to tell me the story while weeping. It seemed he had borne this pressure for quite a long time. 

“My wife 

passed away 

early. I lived with my sweet daughter. She was my treasure. It was a lot of trouble to bring her up. This kid of mine always had good senses. I never needed to care about her schooling. Last year, she was admitted to a big university. I still remembered 

the moment

 she got the letter

. S

he told me, 

‘

Dad, the hard days are gone. I’ll take care of you!

’

” 

However, no one had expected that an eighteen

-

year

-

old girl at the brightest time of her life

 would 

encounter

her worst nightmare.

Tiantian had a 

part-time

 job at a hotel. Unexpectedly, Jiang Guanguan 

went

 there for dinner and laid his eyes on her. At first, Jiang Guanguan used his wealth to entice Tiantian.

However, Tiantian ignored him

 and left. 

As he had lost his face in front of his friends, Jiang Guanguan was angry. He pulled Tiantian to him and poured her a glass of wine with drugs in it… 

When Tiantian woke up, she found herself 

on

 the bed with Jiang Guanguan next to her. 

He was naked. 

She knew what had happened to her. 

As she was

 scared, she screamed at the top of her lungs. Jiang Guanguan was awoken. He threatened her not to cause trouble

if she didn’t want to lose her reputation and dignity completely! 

Tiantian told her father about the incident

. They 

went to the police station to report it.

However, Jiang Teng stepped in and overturned everything

. He said 

that Tiantian wanted Jiang Guanguan’s money. That

 was 

why she slept with him. 

At that time, the case 

created a big commotion

. Many netizens helped Tiantian accuse the heartless rich boy. However, Jiang Teng 

was too strong; 

he could even buy the police and the judge to 

create

 fake evidence. In the end, Jiang Guanguan was acquitted. No matter how hard Tiantian tried to protest and beg the police, it didn’t work. 

In the end, Tiantian couldn’t bear such humiliation. She cut her wrist to commit suicide. When she was found, 

there were dozens of deep

 cuts on her wrist. At first glance, people knew she didn’t want to live anymore… 

After listening to the whole story, I felt disgust

ed

. Then, I felt embarrassed 

that

 I had

 lived

under

 the same roof 

as

 Jiang Teng! 

I shouldn’t have saved him

.

 I should have let the Kang Long Jian smash his head! 

I had accompanied the old man in the cemetery for a long time, listening to his

 story

of

 Tiantian. I didn’t feel impatient. 

However,

 the more I listened to his story, the sorrier I felt for the girl. 

I didn’t want to beat around the bush, so I asked directly, “Uncle, are you the one 

controlling

 the Kang Long Jian?” 

The old man heard me and was sh

ocked

. He looked at me skeptically. I didn’t mind his reaction. “Uncle, 

what

 about the other two? What horrible things 

have they

 done?” 

“One raped a minor, and the other caused a car crash while racing. He killed a family of three. They were all released as they were acquitted. The judge said that they had intermittent mental illnesses.

”

The old man simply admitted everything

, b

ut the stories angered me. I didn’t know what to say now. 

After a long time, I finally calmed down. “Sir, why did you let me go at the critical moment?” 

“Didn’t you run away yourself?” 

T

he old man sounded 

confused

. 

Sure enough,

 Di Renjie had shown mercy to me. 

I sighed emotionally. 

However

, there was one thing important I hadn’t done yet. “Sir, could you help me with one thing?” 

“Help you?” He looked at me incredulously. 

I told him about the leader who had threatened me. 

The old man kept silent for a while. In the end, he suggested with red eyes, “How about killing him, too?” 

I was surprise

d and smiled

. “You just need to make the 

whip

 cooperate with me to play a 

show

 in front of that leader. We want to make him believe that I ha

ve

 subdued the spirit.” 

“Of course, afterward, you can’t use 

it

 again. To repay your favor, I won’t report your crimes because those

 people 

deserved to die

.

 Actually, 

i

t wouldn’t be enough even if they had died a hundred times!” I looked at him

. M

y eyes

 were

 sincere. 

The old man rubbed Tiantian’s tombstone. “Jiang Guanguan 

is

 dead and Jiang Teng got his lesson. All right, I

’ve taken 

revenge for my daughter

.

” 

Three days later, I called the leader to go to Jiang Teng’s villa. The Kang Long 

Jian cooperated

 with me for a nice play. 

After everything was done, the leader gave me 

the

 original copy of a document. I opened it and found the evidence of my crimes. I hurriedly burned it… 

After the leader 

was

 gone, I secretly left the place and went to Tanghuai Park with Tiantian’s father.

Kang Long Jian belonged to Di Renjie. Of course, we had to return it to its rightful owner. The two of us buried the 

whip

 in a hidden corner of the ancestral hall. 

Although I wasn’t against Tiantian’s father’s deeds, the 

whip

 was an otherworldly item

. S

ooner or later, 

another

 otherworldly merchant would come for it. 

I didn’t want to 

destroy

 it, but I wasn’t sure if the others 

would do the same

. That

 was

 why the best solution was to hide it and let it sleep. After burying the 

whip

, I bid farewell to Jiang Teng and took a huge sum from him! 

On the way home, I looked at the blue sky 

and

 white cotton-like clouds

. I felt 

even more pressure. It was hard to imagine how Jiang Guanguan would have continued his corrupted life if Tiantian’s father hadn’t used Kang Long Jian to deal with him. No one would know how many young girls would 

have been

 destroyed in his hands. 

The days of officials covering up each other’s crimes hadn’t passed. The transactions 

of

 power and money were well covered under 

a

 black veil. 

Cover-ups

 happened everywhere. 

This

 was the ‘beautiful era’ we were living in. 

On the other side of joy

ous

 singing, dancing, and feasting 

were

hundreds

 of millions of poor people crowding at the bottom of society. Day by day, they squeezed and cried, but they couldn’t make a sound…
