The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 151 - 148: Swindler in the Martial World? Is it Really a Prank?

Chapter 151: Chapter 148: Swindler in the Martial World? Is it Really a Prank?

After Qin Zhao left, she followed her own Tracking Technique and found Master Fan.

"You’re quite the expert at deceiving people, aren’t you?"

Master Fan was holding a fluffy gray little animal in his arms, which had a bit of Spiritual Power on it, before it hastily burrowed into his yellow cloth bag.

The noise outside the room just now had come from this little creature.

The claw marks on the door were also left by it.

There weren’t any ghosts in that apartment at all!

"I advise you not to meddle in others’ business!"

Master Fan stared at Qin Zhao warily. He indeed realized that the incidents were man-made, not caused by ghosts, but for the sake of money, he had staged that scene himself.

Qin Zhao examined his facial features and deduced that Master Fan would soon be in prison.

She laughed and said, "I can’t just disregard it, can I? Give me back the tuition fee. If you don’t refund my tuition fee, I’ll tell the Wu family about the truth right away, and you can wait for your jail time!"

She had even paid two hundred thousand yuan in tuition fees to follow them and observe the place where the incident occurred.

Master Fan had just made five million, but he was still reluctant to return the two hundred thousand.

A flash of ruthlessness crossed his eyes, and he took out a talisman, intending to deal with Qin Zhao.

To his surprise, before he could use the talisman, Qin Zhao suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Seeking death!"

Master Fan’s other hand quickly lashed out at Qin Zhao.

Crack, came a subtle sound.

Qin Zhao fiercely twisted his wrist, dislocating it.

The talisman in Master Fan’s hand was casually touched by Qin Zhao and turned to ashes.

"You...! You’re a Heavenly Master?!"

Master Fan was shocked beyond measure because he saw Qin Zhao ignite the talisman with Spiritual Power.

Those who could release Spiritual Power externally were all very powerful cultivators!

A look of apprehension appeared on Master Fan’s face, "Let go of me first, and I’ll refund your tuition fee! But as for the Wu family’s matter, you cannot expose me. We are all in the same line of work, is there really a need to cut off my livelihood?"

Qin Zhao smiled meaningfully, "Alright."

After she released Master Fan, he promptly returned the two hundred thousand to her.

"Can I leave now?"

"Get lost."

Qin Zhao took her money back and paid no more attention to him.

Master Fan, holding his yellow cloth bag, hastily left quickly.

He was afraid that the Wu family would find something amiss and then come after him.

In fact, he knew a bit of the Mystical Sect’s tricks but was not adept in them, and he had made a living through deception and swindling for years.

So, this time when he found out that the previous two incidents were just man-made scares and not any ghosts, he simply couldn’t be bothered to check the third anomaly and staged the earlier scene directly, aiming to swindle the money first.

But, unfortunately, just as Master Fan left the apartment complex, he ran into the police right at the entrance.

He already had a criminal record, and the policeman who passed by recognized him immediately and took him back to the police station.

"Damn it, my luck today is just too bad!"

Master Fan, handcuffed, sat in the police car, utterly dumbfounded.

He barely escaped exposure by a True Heavenly Master and immediately ran into the police upon leaving!

Master Fan had swindled quite a few people, most of whom were from rather wealthy families.

After the police caught him, they posted his photo on the local news website, asking the major media to broadcast the news, to prevent more people from being scammed.

It wasn’t long before Wu Feihong saw the news on the internet.

His face looked unspeakable, turning green and then red, like a palette.

"Dad, how come that Master Fan is a swindler?"

Wu Feihong found his father, Wu Yongfeng, and could not help but question him.

Both of the masters from that day had been found by Wu Yongfeng, who had always thought Qin Zhao was the swindler.

As it turned out, Master Fan was a swindler too!

"What? He’s a swindler?"

Wu Yongfeng couldn’t help furrowing his brow when he saw the news.

"So, everything that happened that day in the apartment was just a play he directed? He never resolved the issues I’ve been having, could I still encounter those problems?"

Wu Feihong started to panic again inside. Being swindled out of money was one thing, but his unfortunate encounter with evil hadn’t been dealt with!

"Do you remember what Qin Zhao said? She mentioned that the things you’ve been experiencing could be someone else’s evil prank. You haven’t encountered anything strange these last few days, could it really be just a prank?"

Originally, Wu Feihong didn’t believe Qin Zhao, but in this moment, he began to think seriously about it.

"Let’s do this, I’ll hire a private detective to investigate, and arrange for you to have more bodyguards."

After discussing, Wu Family decided to have the bodyguards and private detective follow Wu Feihong in plain clothes, to avoid the person behind the scenes noticing anything amiss.

If the person behind it all tried anything again, they’d catch them red-handed!

A vicious look crossed Wu Feihong’s face, "I can’t believe I’ve been scared for so long because someone’s been messing with me! If I catch whoever’s doing this, I definitely won’t let them off easy!"

He felt a surge of anger and was eager to find the culprit.

In order to lure out the person pulling the strings, Wu Feihong planned to pretend to be drunk and stay at the hotel above the KTV.

That day, he invited a bunch of friends to sing.

Wu Feihong, appearing thoroughly intoxicated, was helped out of the private room, and his friends deposited him in the hotel room before leaving.

And under the hotel bed, two bodyguards were hiding.

In the hallway outside, there were guests who were really bodyguards in disguise, hidden in the next few rooms.

Additionally, the private detective was hidden in the building across from the hotel, using binoculars to watch the room.

Everything was ready, they were just waiting for the troublemaker to appear.

Knock, knock, knock.

Suddenly, there was a knocking at the door of the room.

"Who’s there?"

Wu Feihong’s eyes lit up as he called out.

But no one answered.

Wu Feihong messaged the bodyguards stationed outside to ask. They said a woman in white clothes had knocked on the door and then quickly ran away.

There she was, the person causing trouble!

"Catch her!"

Wu Feihong hurriedly opened the door, just in time to see the woman running toward the end of the hallway.

The woman appeared in the doorway, dressed strangely and sneaking around.

She knocked a few times and then realizing she was being watched, she turned and ran.

The bodyguards chased after her, and Wu Feihong followed.

At the end of the hallway was a closed floor-to-ceiling window, with no route for escape.

"Keep running, huh?! Daring to play ghost and scare me? I’ll finish you off!" Wu Feihong approached with rage.

The woman opened the floor-to-ceiling window and simply jumped out.

The bodyguards rushed over, only to find that the woman had vanished!

"Not... not here?"

The inspecting bodyguard even trembled as he spoke.

This was the eighth floor; she couldn’t have hit the ground that quickly.

"What’s going on?"

Wu Feihong came over to look and saw no sign of any woman, and nobody had fallen to the ground either.

In an instant, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

"If one had the tools, they could probably climb into the sixth-floor corridor," said one of the bodyguards, trying to keep a rational tone.
