Chapter 88: Chapter 88: The Malicious Uncle_1

After viewing the contents in the Heavenly Eye, Shen Tianxing directly wielded her spiritual power to force the dark shadow entangled in Shen Tianrui’s mind out.

As soon as the dark shadow emerged, it instantly took the shape of a female ghost.

With a flick of her slender hand, Shen Tianxing forced the female ghost to reveal her form, allowing everyone to see her.

Feeling the immense pressure emanating from Shen Tianxing, coupled with the aura of impending death, the female ghost was so frightened she nearly dissipated. She immediately knelt in front of Shen Tianxing, kowtowing nonstop and begging pitifully, "Merciful immortal, spare my life! Merciful immortal, spare my life, please!"

Shen Tianxing, however, was completely unmoved and asked her coldly, "Sheng Yingying, now that you’ve become a ghost, you should know that the living and the dead have different paths. If you don’t go for reincarnation, so be it, but why are you clinging to my brother and refusing to let go? Speak!"

When she reached the last word, Shen Tianxing deliberately intensified her voice for hypnotic effect.

The female ghost grew even weaker and replied with a trembling voice, "I clung to Mr. Shen because, first, I fancied him, and second, I wanted him to avenge me. I didn’t commit suicide; I was pushed down the stairs to my death..."

Shen Tianxing let out a cold snort and said, "Sheng Yingying, you want revenge, you want to clear your name, you could have communicated with my older brother. But why did you harm him? Why did you take control of his thoughts, making him turn against his family and insist on marrying you? Do you feel a sense of accomplishment doing this, huh?"

The female ghost hurriedly shook her head, "No, it’s not like that, not at all. Seeing Mr. Shen and the rest helpless with my case, and having reached a temporary conclusion of suicide, I feared my death would never be vindicated. Then, I heard Mr. Shen’s colleague mention he had a sister who was extremely skilled in investigating cases, and to seek your help. Mr. Shen didn’t want to trouble you, so in my desperation, I controlled him, with the sole purpose of meeting you to ask for your help in bringing my murderer to justice..."

Shen Tianxing gave a cold laugh, her face chilly as she said, "Do you think that after you harmed my older brother, there’s still a chance I would help you?"

Sheng Yingying’s ghostly face collapsed instantly, as she said with a sorrowful expression, "Those beasts are still at large. Am I to die in vain? My grievance not redressed—how is this fair in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao? How unjust!" she sobbed...

Shen Tianxing grew impatient with her crying and shouted sharply, "Enough crying! Shut up! We’ll settle the score for the harm you’ve done to my brother later!"

Sheng Yingying immediately closed her mouth, looking pitifully at Shen Tianxing.

Seeing her like this, Shen Tianxing’s tone softened. "Tell me, what exactly happened with your death?"

Taking a breath, Sheng Yingying began to explain the reason she was killed.

The story of Sheng Yingying was a melodramatic tale of relatives conspiring for wealth and committing murder to seize a fortune.

She had once had a happy family. Her father, Sheng An, was the founder and president of the original Sheng An Hotel, and her mother was a virtuous housewife who deeply loved both her and her father. The three of them lived a very happy life.

However, a man-made car accident six years ago cruelly took the lives of Sheng Yingying’s parents.

The one thing that she should have been grateful for was that before his death, Sheng An had made a will, declaring that if he died, all his possessions were to go to his only daughter, Sheng Yingying.

If he were to die before his daughter turned eighteen, his estate would be entrusted to Weizhong Law Firm and Zhishang Investment Company to manage until his daughter came of age. After she turned eighteen, she would have full inheritance rights.

If the daughter were to die accidentally before reaching eighteen, all of his possessions would be used to establish the Sheng An Charity Foundation and would not be inherited by anyone.

The then twelve-year-old Sheng Yingying had no idea that her parents’ death was orchestrated by her uncle Sheng Li.

Her uncle Sheng Li, who was intent on seizing his brother’s fortune, also never imagined that at such a young age, his brother Sheng An had already made such a secure will, rendering all his schemes futile.

Sheng Li had no choice but to pretend to be a good uncle, taking his niece into his own home and providing her with the best food and care, planning to kill her after she turned eighteen and received her inheritance.

As it turned out, Sheng Li’s plan was indeed successful.

Upon turning eighteen, prompted by Sheng Li, Sheng Yingying successfully took over her father’s entire inheritance from Weizhong Law firm and Zhishang Investment Company, instantly becoming a multimillionaire.

Afterward, Sheng Li even had her appoint him as president.

To outsiders, Sheng Li now appeared to be the true owner of Sheng An Hotel.

However, Sheng Yingying, who was brought up by Sheng Li in idleness, failed to get into university after high school and went straight to work in the accounting department of Sheng An Hotel. At the age of twenty, she had only just been promoted to manager of the accounting department.

But to others, she was a "nepotism hire" who hardly did any work at the company, always relying on her colleagues, and thus she didn’t earn their respect.

One day, after arguing with a colleague in the accounting department, she stormed into Sheng Li’s office to have him support her in firing the colleague she had argued with.

Unexpectedly, she overheard Sheng Li planning how to murder her.

Sheng Yingying was greatly shaken.

She never imagined that her uncle, who had cherished and loved her for years, was actually plotting to take her life at any moment.

Before Sheng Li noticed her, Sheng Yingying quietly returned to her office.

Yet, Sheng Yingying didn’t anticipate that her visit to Sheng Li had been seen by his secretary, who then informed Sheng Li of her arrival.

The very cunning Sheng Li, recalling what he had just discussed, broke out in a cold sweat.

Whether Sheng Yingying had heard or not, he decided to go ahead and kill her outright.

Feeling unsettled, Sheng Yingying once again approached Weizhong Law Firm and Zhishang Investment Company to sign a trusteeship agreement with them and drafted a will similar to her father’s.

If she died, all her assets would be used to establish the Sheng An Charity Foundation to help those in need.

Two days later, she received a phone call from her uncle Sheng Li, inviting her to view a house in a certain community.

Having a premonition, Sheng Yingying deliberately dressed in a red dress and high heels.

She had heard that if a person dies unjustly while wearing red clothes and shoes, they could turn into a vengeful ghost to claim lives.

She wasn’t sure whether her uncle, the smiley tiger, would indeed take her life this time, but it felt right to take precautions.

When she arrived at the house in the community that Sheng Li had purchased, he laid out his terms straightforwardly, presenting her with two options.

Either she voluntarily transferred all her assets to his name and spared her life,

or he would kill her, stage a suicide, and then inherit her estate.
