The Fake Rich Daughter Knows a Bit of Metaphysics and Leads Her Whole Family to Become Wealthy - Chapter 18

Chapter 18: The Ghost’s Plea in a Dream

“Rest for now. I’ll help you report this to the police tomorrow,” Jiang Zhixu said, putting away her notebook. She was determined to get justice for Lin Mu.

“You can’t die in vain,” she added.

Lin Mu’s lips moved, and he finally managed to say, “Thank you.”

This was the first Taoist priest who was willing to help him.

The next morning, Jiang Zhixu went out and notified Xia Wan to open the shop. Then, she drove straight to the abandoned construction site.

After arriving at the location, she took out a shovel from the trunk and walked to the inner fence, where there was a pile of rubble. Lin Mu had told her that this was his burial site.

The thugs had killed him and, fearing accountability, had buried him here. There were no surveillance cameras, and the area was deserted. No one would have known.

Jiang Zhixu gripped the shovel tightly, put on her gloves, and began to clear away the rubble one piece at a time. Today, she wanted to bring this matter to light.

Even if he was a ghost, he deserved justice and dignity. He shouldn’t have to carry the burden of his wrongful death.

Under the shadow not far away, a black umbrella stood in mid-air, and beneath it was Lin Mu.

Lin Mu watched the girl who was working hard in the scorching sun, and he couldn’t help but feel touched.

He was just a strange ghost, and she could have directly collected his spirit and sent him to the underworld. But she didn’t.

She said she would seek justice for him.

He had thought the world was cold, but he never expected to see warmth everywhere.

Unknowingly, a drop of bloody tear slid from the corner of his eye.

[Ding! Mission completed. Rewards have been issued. Please check your mailbox.]

Jiang Zhixu, who was working, was stunned. What was going on?
How was the mission completed?

Didn’t they say they needed to capture him and send him to the underworld?

688 also felt strange. After checking the mission list, it explained, “Host, the system judged that Lin Mu, as a vengeful ghost, shed tears of gratitude, and his resentment was resolved. Therefore, the mission was successful.”

Could it be done like this?

Jiang Zhixu turned her head to look at the shadowy area. The young man with a slender figure was standing still, holding a black umbrella. His body was no longer filled with resentful energy, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

“It’s also good,” Jiang Zhixu said with a smile, continuing her work.

Finally, after an hour, she dug up Lin Mu’s corpse, which had turned into a skeleton. She took out her phone and called the police.

Fifteen minutes later, the police arrived. When they saw Jiang Zhixu, the captain of the criminal investigation team was slightly surprised.

Why was it her?

“Zhixu?”

Jiang Zhixu looked up and saw the person approaching. She searched her memory for the familiar figure.

“Qin Ye?” she said.

“What… what are you doing…” Qin Ye, a member of the Qin family from the capital, came from a military background. He was eight years older than her. They had met when they were young, and occasionally ran into each other as they grew older.

The Bai family had once considered her marrying Qin Ye, but ultimately chose Zhou Chenhao instead, because the Zhou family had more influence in the business world.

Qin Ye wore a black jacket, black jeans, and Martin boots. He strode towards Jiang Zhixu.

“I’m working at the police station now. What about you? What are you doing here?” he asked.
“You didn’t… report this case, did you?”

“Yes, I did,” Jiang Zhixu replied.

Qin Ye’s mouth opened slightly, still trying to process the information.

The team members beside him had already started working. The forensic doctor arrived and began examining the corpse, conducting a preliminary investigation.

When the news reached Qin Ye, he pursed his lips. “You might need to come with us to the police station.”

“No problem,” Jiang Zhixu nodded.

Since she had chosen to report the case, she was prepared to go to the police station.

Looking at the skeleton, Qin Ye couldn’t help but ask, “How did you discover this?”

Qin Ye had thought of a plausible explanation. “You probably had a nightmare, didn’t you?”

The team member nearby chuckled. “There’s no way such a bizarre thing could happen.”

The idea of a ghost appearing in a dream seemed impossible.

Qin Ye listened in confusion, even reaching out to touch Jiang Zhixu’s forehead. “You’re not running a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?”

Jiang Zhixu pursed her lips and said nothing. Anyway, everything could be verified. The man she met last night and the girl she saved were witnesses.

At the police station

When all the investigation results were placed on Qin Ye’s desk, he couldn’t help but take a sip of cold water.

He looked up at Jiang Zhixu. “You’re not lying to me, are you?”

The deceased was Lin Mu, who had been missing for two years. His parents had almost gone crazy searching for him.

And now, it turned out that Lin Mu’s body was in that abandoned construction site.

Jiang Zhixu’s expression was serious. “Qin Ye, you’ve known me for more than a year or two. You should know I wouldn’t lie to you.”

Qin Ye sighed.
It was precisely because he knew her that he found it even more incredible.

“What else did you dream about?” he asked.

Jiang Zhixu was waiting for him to ask. She spoke in a calm tone, “Last night, I went to deliver flowers and came home. Then I had a nightmare.”

“In the dream, a ghost named Lin Mu told me about his wrongful death. He said two years ago…”

As Jiang Zhixu spoke slowly, Qin Ye and the other police officers learned about Lin Mu’s death and began to investigate.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, they would investigate and find out.

When they left the police station, Qin Ye called out to Jiang Zhixu. “How have you been lately?”

He had already learned about the true and fake daughters of the Bai family and how Jiang Zhixu had been kicked out of the family.

Jiang Zhixu smiled. “I’m doing okay. I opened a flower shop. If you get a girlfriend, remember to come and support my business.”

“And what about your studies…”

Jiang Zhixu was a sophomore at the Capital University. Back then, the Bai family had even hosted a celebration party for her admission to the university’s design department.

But now…

“I’ll go to Capital University. It’s something I worked hard for, and I won’t give it up,” she said firmly.

If the Bai family dared to give her admission to Bai Liuli, she wouldn’t mind causing a stir.

“It’s good that you have a plan,” Qin Ye said, patting her shoulder. “If you need anything, just let brother know. Although the Qin family isn’t in the business world, but we have our own connections.”

“We can investigate corruption, tax evasion, embezzlement, and other things like that,” Qin Ye said with a smile.

Jiang Zhixu chuckled. “Thanks for looking out for me, big brother Qin.”

“I’ll take care of it. You go ahead. Your family will be worried if they can’t find you,” Qin Ye said.

“If I remember anything else, I’ll let you know right away.”

“Alright, be careful on the road,” Qin Ye said, watching her leave.

As he watched the car drive away, he couldn’t help but sigh at the twists of fate.

However, compared to the real daughter the Bai family had found, he preferred Jiang Zhixu.

She was gentle, beautiful, poised, intelligent, and strong-willed – the kind of qualities one would expect from a genuine daughter of a wealthy family.

The Bai family was probably cutting off their noses to spite their faces.

They would regret this one day.

Qin Ye sighed and returned to the police station.

Jiang Zhixu returned to the flower shop. As she entered, she saw a person sitting on the chair by the window.

It was Zhou Chenhao.

Xia Wan walked over, holding a bouquet of flowers. “Boss, he wouldn’t leave. I…”

“It’s okay, go ahead and take care of your work. I’ll handle this,” Jiang Zhixu said, her face cold. She walked over, pulled out a stool, and sat down across from him.

“I didn’t know the CEO Zhou had so much free time, visiting me two or three times a week,” she said.

“Or maybe the CEO Zhou has taken a liking to me?”
