The Fake Rich Daughter Knows a Bit of Metaphysics and Leads Her Whole Family to Become Wealthy - Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Mission Accomplished

Lin Ze sneered. “Go ahead and sue me. It’s time for the law to give me justice. Let everyone see what kind of people the Liu family really is.”

“The chairman of a well-known corporation secretly keeps a little lover, hiding them in his villa for fear of being discovered by his family. And when he’s about to die, he tries to drag his little lover down with him.”

“Go ahead, sue me. I’m counting on it,” Lin Ze taunted.

“Nonsense! Slander!” Liu Ping’s eyes turned red with anger.

“My father is not that kind of person!” he exclaimed. “He’s been lovingly married to my mother for over 40 years. He would never betray her!”

Liu Ping wouldn’t believe his father would betray his mother even if he was beaten to death.

This ghost must be resentful and trying to frame him.

“Miss Jiang, don’t listen to his nonsense,” Liu Ping said.

Jiang Zhi,u’s head was spinning. “Let’s not argue. Let’s talk this through.”

“Lin Ze, if you want the truth to come out, arguing won’t do any good,” she said.

Lin Ze understood the point, so he stopped arguing with Liu Ping.

Jiang Zhixu pulled out a chair. “Let’s sit down and talk.”

She also took out a notebook to take notes.

Lin Ze sat down first, and after Liu Ping reluctantly sat down, Lin Ze began to speak.

“My name is Lin Ze. I’m 30 years old. When I was 28, Liu Guofu found me and asked me to be his lover. He offered me 300,000 yuan per month.”

“At the time, I was unemployed and struggling. When his assistant approached me with the proposal, I thought it was ridiculous and laughable. A man in his 60s, almost 70, wanted me to be his lover? He was old enough to be my grandfather.”

Lin Ze’s face was filled with disdain and contempt as he spoke.

“And what happened after that?” Jiang Zhixu asked, sensing a turning point in the story.

“After that…” Lin Ze’s expression changed slightly, and he looked down.
“After that, my dad suddenly had a car accident and lost his legs. The surgery and follow-up treatment costs were over 800,000 yuan. I didn’t have that kind of money, let alone the daily expenses afterwards…”

“So you agreed to Liu Guofu’s proposal?” Jiang Zhixu’s hand paused as she wrote, almost guessing what happened next.

“Yes, I agreed. But who knew Liu Guofu was a pervert?” Lin Ze’s emotions flared up again.

“He couldn’t perform, so he sought stimulation. Do you know what he did? He had people… and he watched. He’s so perverted and disgusting.”

“Two years… do you know how I lived those two years? Sometimes I felt like I wasn’t human anymore. I was just a dog, a beast, at someone’s mercy.”

Lin Ze’s anger, and he sank into sadness. “I know what you’re thinking. This path was my choice. I deserved this.”

“To degrade myself for money, and in the end, the money was gone, and my life was gone too.”

The revelation was overwhelming, and Jiang Zhixu didn’t know what to say.

Keeping a lover wasn’t uncommon in certain circles, and some wealthy men had their quirks. But it was shocking that it had cost Lin Ze his life.

Liu Ping sat silently, staring at his father on the bed. For the first time, he felt like a stranger to him.

It took him a long time to find his voice. “How did you die?”

Lin Ze replied, “About half a month ago, he suddenly came to the villa to visit me. He was being very affectionate and intimate… but there was something abnormal about it. I got a bad feeling.”

“And then, in the middle of the night, he tried to suffocate me with a pillow.”

“I managed to escape and questioned him about why he did it.”

“Do you know what he said? He said he loved me and that if he died, he was afraid I’d be lonely in this world, so he wanted me to go with him.”

“Listen to that. Is that something a human would say? He just couldn’t bear to see me happy.”

“I pushed him away and ran. But who knew there were people outside, and they knocked me unconscious. When I woke up again, I was in the middle of nowhere.”

Now that Jiang Zhixu knew the whole story, she put away her notebook. “When you woke up, where were you? That’s probably where your burial site is.”

Lin Ze buried his face in his hands. “I only know that I was surrounded by woods. I stayed there for about 10 days before I could briefly leave and go to a park. That’s where I saw Liu Guofu. My anger and hatred made me follow him without realizing it.”

As Lin Ze spoke, the ghostly energy around him began to surge, threatening to erupt.

Jiang Zhixu placed her hand on his shoulder, and without realizing it, she suppressed the swirling ghostly energy.

“Hold on. Getting angry will turn you into a malevolent ghost. Once that happens, you’ll be doomed to hell.”

“Hell is terrifying. They cut off your ears and tongue… just thinking about it is scary.”

Lin Ze shuddered at her words. Even if he couldn’t be reincarnated, he didn’t want to end up in hell.

When he calmed down, Jiang Zhixu turned to Liu Ping. “Mr. Liu, your father killed someone. Do you want to report this to the police or handle it privately?”

If this incident became public, it wouldn’t be good for Lin Ze or his family. After all, Lin Ze was essentially a mistress. His death would be a relief, but his parents would likely bear the brunt of the scandal.

Lin Ze understood this too, so he spoke up first.
“10 million yuan. Give the money to my parents. As long as they’re safe, I won’t pursue this matter.”

It was always a transaction between him and Liu Guofu, never emotional. Now that Liu Guofu was dead, Lin Ze wanted to maximize the benefits from his death.

Liu Ping didn’t expect Lin Ze to demand only 10 million yuan and not pursue the matter further.

He realized that this was a smart move on Lin Ze’s part.

“Alright, I agree. I’ll transfer the money to your parents tomorrow. I’ll also make sure someone takes care of them for the rest of their lives,” Liu Ping said.

As his son, he couldn’t ignore his father’s actions. The company’s reputation was also at stake. This was the most sensible solution.

“Alright,” Lin Ze replied, his head bowed.

As long as his parents were taken care of, he had no regrets.

[Ding! Task completed. Rewards have been issued.]

[Host, you’re amazing! You handled this so quickly.]

688 was sprawled on Jiang Zhixu’s shoulder, giving her a thumbs-up with his paw.

[It’s not that I’m amazing. It’s just that this task wasn’t difficult.]

Lin Ze had his own priorities, which made it easy to resolve the situation. If it had been a stranger who lost their life for no reason, they wouldn’t have been satisfied without getting revenge.

To prevent Lin Ze from seeking revenge against Liu Guofu, Jiang Zhixu took him away.

“Uncle Liu, I’ll find Grandpa Liu’s lost soul and bring it back later,” she said.

“Alright, thank you,” Liu Ping replied, looking worn out.

After going through this ordeal, he felt like he’d aged years. He couldn’t believe his respected father had taken a lover shortly after his mother’s passing and even killed him.

If Lin Ze hadn’t shown mercy, the Liu family might have lost everything.

“Here’s your payment, Miss Jiang,” Liu Ping said.

“As for Lin Ze’s 10 million yuan, I’ll contact the bank later to arrange the transfer.”

Jiang Zhixu didn’t say anything polite and accepted the payment. She got on her scooter and left the villa.

“Today, I earned 12 million yuan. I’ll treat you to a special meal,” she said.

688 excitedly waved his paws [Yay! Yay!]

“But, you’re a system. Can you even eat?” Jiang Zhixu asked.

688’s face stiffened, his fluffy face filled with despair.

Wuuu… He couldn’t eat…
