Chapter 96 The mastermind behind it all is actually him?
"She secretly poisoned Yin Peipei's mind, making her jealous and hate you, with the aim of getting Yin Peipei to find a different bullying target."
Lin Sui looked at Fang Jiayi with a calm expression: "So there's no need for Yin Peipei to threaten you at all; she'd be happy to help you lure you out."
[When faced with bullying, instead of seeking help, some people try to drag others down with them. What kind of bizarre thought process is this?]
[If you call her ruthless, she lacks the courage to resist Yin Peipei; if you call her cowardly, she dares to find a scapegoat for herself. She's truly selfish to the extreme.]
The victim becomes the perpetrator—a tragic, lamentable, and hateful situation.
Su Hangyu's face turned even paler.
She looked at Si Xingran, whose eyes were cold yet smiling, and then at Lin Sui, and suddenly wondered who was more terrifying, them or Fang Jiayi.
At this moment, all she felt was regret.
She shouldn't have listened to her mother and participated in this deadly program in order to raise money for her younger brother's wedding.
She shouldn't always harbor wishful thinking that after so many years, no one remembers her anymore.
It's even more wrong of them to be wary of Lin Sui and hostile towards her while underestimating her fortune-telling skills.
"Is what she said true?" Fang Jiayi's bloodshot eyes became even more venomous as she glared fiercely at Su Hangyu.
Su Hangyu's body trembled violently.
She clenched her teeth and could only continue kowtowing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm guilty, I accept the punishment, you can punish me however you want, I just beg you, please spare my life."
"Spare your life?" Fang Jiayi found it laughable. "I begged like that before, and who spared my life then?"
"Not only did you betray me and trample on my kindness, but you also brought Yin Peipei here. You deserve to die!"
As Fang Jiayi spoke, her ghostly aura surged, as if her entire soul was twisting.
"Ah!" Su Hangyu was so frightened that she scrambled to her feet and tried to run away, but the surging ghostly energy grabbed her neck and lifted her into the air.
Her legs thrashed about desperately, her face turning blue and purple, unable to hide her pain: "Help...me..."
Duan Xuchi could no longer stand idly by and immediately wanted to rush over to try and save her.
Lin Siyao quickly grabbed him: "Brother Xuchi, that's a vengeful ghost, you can't fight it, save the other one first."
Duan Xuchi paused and looked at the man who was trying to sneak away.
He could indeed help him escape, but he couldn't bear to let Su Hangyu be killed.
Duan Xuchi strode toward Xu Haize with a grim face, grabbed him and said, "Get up and save him. I'll give you ten million if you do."
Upon hearing that it was ten million, Xu Haize's eyes lit up.
He endured the pain in his chest and rushed forward again.
Before they could even get close, they were blasted away by the ghostly energy and could not get up at all.
【Ah this. 】
[...So this is the powerful male Taoist master some people talk about? My apologies for not recognizing him.]
Looking at Xu Haize, who had fainted, Lin Sui was speechless.
This guy is really stubborn and won't admit defeat until he sees the coffin; he's blindly confident, incompetent, and loves to play games.
"Want to escape? But it seems impossible."
Yu Cinian's voice came from the side. Lin Sui turned his head and saw him holding a ghost-headed sword, blocking the door of the rooftop. His tone was gentle and smiling: "Our squad leader never said he would let you go, so you can't leave."
Lin Sui: "...Are you sure you didn't want to see how he died?"
Upon hearing her speak, the man who had been cursed along with Su Hangyu turned cold.
He was just one step away from leaving this hellish place.
He assumed everyone's attention was on Fang Jiayi and Su Hangyu, and that no one had noticed.
He forced a smile and said, "You must have misunderstood. I'm just a poor laborer, and I don't know Fang Jiayi at all. This has nothing to do with me."
"You can call her by name even if you don't know her?" Si Xingran tilted her head lazily and smiled mischievously. "What, you can read faces like our Master Lin?"
The man's expression changed.
“You’ve been with us for so many days, and you’ve certainly been very composed.” Lin Sui slowly stepped forward. “Everything you did was indeed done without leaving a trace. You were so careful that you didn’t even add Yin Peipei’s account, just so you wouldn’t leave yourself any leverage.”
“Even on the night you went to bully Fang Jiayi, you were smart enough to prepare a mask for yourself. Only Yin Peipei could recognize you, and only Yin Peipei knew clearly that she was bewitched and instigated by you.”
"So when you found out that Yin Peipei had also returned to this school, you didn't hesitate to use low-level psychological suggestion to force her to commit suicide."
"You've hidden yourself very well, but you're too arrogant. So arrogant that you only trust yourself and no one else, including my ability to tell fortunes."
“But we’ve been watching you all day, so you should have realized it by now, which is why you ran away in such a hurry.”
"It's a pity it's too late."
Upon hearing Lin Sui's words, the man's expression grew even more gloomy and unpleasant.
Lu Xiang crossed her arms and sneered, "At first, you tried to mislead us, wanting us to think that Fang Jiayi jumped off the building because she was assaulted by her homeroom teacher, but it turns out you are the real culprit."
"Shameless!" Tang Xi said expressionlessly, each word uttered clearly.
Li Ye coldly replied, "Damn it."
While the group was talking, the live stream clearly captured the man's face, which was none other than Qin Ziheng.
[WTF?! The NPC I thought was a real boss was actually the mastermind?! This is shocking!]
[Damn, I really thought he was just a random bystander unrelated to the incident. Turns out, I was so naive!]
[Terrible, absolutely terrifying! I can't believe that if it weren't for Lin Sui, would someone as meticulous as Qin Ziheng have escaped legal punishment?]
[Definitely. Yin Peipei was the one who instigated the bullying, and he drove her to suicide through psychological manipulation. If it weren't for Lin Sui, no one would know what he did.]
【Ahhhhh, fairy sister, look at me! I want to be your dog for life!!!】
Wu Xiaojun stared blankly at Lin Sui: "So you all knew?"
Lin Sui neither confirmed nor denied it.
"Then you're keeping an eye on him for..." Wu Xiaojun suddenly felt a sense of awe and respect.
His gaze towards Lin Sui was filled with admiration and gratitude.
Suddenly, a small hand reached out and covered her face.
Wu Xiaojun was taken aback, looked down, and met a tense, dark face.
Wu Xiaojun: "..."
Lin Siyao, who was not far away, saw her reaction and hurriedly pulled Duan Xuchi over: "Brother Xuchi, Su Hangyu is in the hands of a vengeful ghost and there is no hope for her. Let's hurry up and save Qin Ziheng."
Upon hearing this, Duan Xuchi no longer hesitated and strode into the encirclement of Lin Sui and the others, standing in front of Qin Ziheng.
He stared intently at Lin Sui with deep eyes: "You'd better think this through. If you help Fang Jiayi, you'll be accomplices too."
"I have no right to deal with Fang Jiayi, but I can sue you!"
Lin Sui looked him back without flinching: "Even if we don't stop him, even if you can take him away, he can't escape."
“I’m not letting him escape; I’m taking him back to the police station so he can receive the punishment he deserves,” Duan Xuchi said in a deep voice.
Lin Sui: "And then what? He'll just die quietly in prison anyway. Your efforts will be in vain."
Duan Xuchi clenched his fists, speechless.
No matter how airtight the prison, they couldn't stop the supernatural forces.
He pursed his lips and asked, "Can't you perform the ritual to help Fang Jiayi pass on to the afterlife first?"
“That will only bring about deeper consequences.” Lin Sui said, glancing at Lin Siyao beside him. “If Qin Ziheng hadn’t died at Fang Jiayi’s hands, he would very likely have died at someone else’s hands.”
"And that person, she was innocent, but blinded by hatred, she had to get her hands stained with blood and become a murderer that you, Officer Duan, had to arrest."
Lin Sui looked directly at Duan Xuchi: "Is this what you wanted to see?"
Only Fang Jiayi can resolve this karmic entanglement.
Duan Xuchi was suddenly taken aback.
Lin Siyao became anxious: "Since you know who wants to kill Qin Ziheng, can't you stop them? We can help her let go of her hatred!"
“I could stop it, but…” Lin Sui looked at her calmly with his dark eyes, “Would you?”
