The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 284 - Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Personal Interests

Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Personal Interests Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Personal Interests The female ghost Miao Miao immediately averted her gaze upon hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, afraid that she might indeed lose her sight by looking any further.

Despite her deep-seated hatred for Zhong Niangyao, recent events had given her a clear understanding that she was no match for Zhong Niangyao.

“What exactly do you want?”

A middle-aged man stepped forward. “Our family is already in such a tragic state, how far do you intend to push us before you are satisfied?”

“Push?” Lu Yichen looked at the family of three indifferently, “Why would we seek you out if you didn’t know it in your hearts? You all planned to kill a little girl of merely seven or eight years old, and now you even have the audacity to say such things.”

“We didn’t do anything,” the middle-aged woman sternly refused to admit, “We are law-abiding good citizens; don’t make baseless accusations without evidence.”

“Just now, didn’t your daughter admit it herself?” Zhong Niangyao glanced at the female ghost. “She said I spoiled her plans, which means she admitted that her goal was to kill that little girl, right?”

“That’s not true.” The middle-aged woman vehemently denied. “She only spoke nonsense because you all suddenly barged into our home and startled her.”

“Moreover, that little girl has no grudges against our family. Why would we want to harm her?”

At these words, the expressions on the faces of Lu Yichen and Zhong Niangyao did not change, but Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying behind them both showed a hint of perplexity.

“Exactly! Lady Zhong, what would be their motive for doing this?” Zhou Ying, who was straightforward, asked out loud, puzzled. “Could it be that the little girl’s family harmed their daughter?”

If that were the case, it would seem somewhat understandable for this family to seek revenge! However, if what the woman said was true and they had no relation at all, why would they think of harming that little girl!

The couple said nothing more, but they were somewhat relieved inside. They knew very well that no matter how the other party investigated, they would find nothing–not a motive nor evidence to charge them with anything.

“They indeed do not know that little girl,” Zhong Niangyao’s gaze rested on the female ghost. “Their true motive is to obtain that little girl’s body.”

“What?”

Upon hearing this, both Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying’s expressions drastically changed, their faces filled with outrage as they looked at the family of three.

When the family of three looked at Zhong Niangyao, disbelief clouded their eyes. They had not expected someone to uncover their true intentions.

Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying remained silent, waiting for Zhong Niangyao to explain further.

Zhong Niangyao’s voice echoed across the spacious villa, crystal clear, each word distinctly heard by everyone.

“They have learned some Evil Technique from somewhere, hoping to revive their deceased daughter using a living human’s body. Not all ghosts can possess people. Initially, they tempted Chen Jun with a substantial reward to allow Miao Miao to possess Chen Jun’s body. By using his body, they sought to kill that little girl.”

“Of course, they didn’t really want the little girl dead. Instead, at the moment the girl was near death and her soul was leaving her body, Miao Miao would directly take over. After that, she could continue to live in this world using the little girl’s body. Later, they’d find a way for the family to reunite.”

Each time Zhong Niangyao spoke, the faces of the family of three grew uglier.

“However, a ghost possessing a dead body can’t live like a normal person!” Lu Zheng couldn’t help expressing his doubt, “And they can’t hide from the Netherworld Messenger. When the time comes for the Netherworld Messenger to collect the soul, won’t it still take her away?”

“By possessing at the brink of death, it’s not considered possessing a dead person but a living person without a soul. They did not randomly choose their target, but rather, they might have calculated using birth data. That little girl’s body must be highly compatible with Miao Miao’s soul.”

“When the time comes, Miao Miao can continue to live using the little girl’s body. Also, because they must possess at the moment of near death to fuse, Miao Miao initially possessed Chen Jun to personally handle this matter, aiming to ensure nothing goes wrong.”

“However, what they didn’t anticipate was that even though they controlled the body, Chen Jun himself was an honest and kind man. Though tempted by wealth, he wasn’t inherently evil. So, when it came to the act, his subconscious stopped him. This delay allowed us the time to save the little girl.”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s explanation, both Lu Zheng and Zhou Ying looked at the family of three not just with outrage, but an unabashed disgust had surfaced.

They hadn’t imagined anyone could be so malevolent.

“What will happen to that little girl’s soul?” Zhou Ying suddenly asked, “If her body is taken over, what about her soul? Would the ghost messenger take it away?”

“No,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “Because her body is still alive, her destined lifespan isn’t over, so there won’t be any Netherworld Messenger to come fetch her. In the end, she can only become a wandering ghost, drifting in the Human World until the lifespan of her body ends, at which point the ghost messenger will come to fetch her.”

“You are really too wicked.” Zhou Ying looked at the family of three, unable to hold back her curses, “Just for your own selfish desires, you’d actually harm a little girl. People like you don’t deserve to live in this world.”

“We did nothing wrong.”

Up to this point, the lady still didn’t think they were wrong; her face showed no remorse but rather a sense of righteousness. “Our daughter died in a car accident during her prime. Isn’t that pitiful? We just wanted our lost daughter back. What’s wrong with that?”

“Nonsense!” Lu Zheng stepped forward, chastising, “You are using someone else’s life to fulfill your own desires. How can you be so wicked? Your daughter is pitiful, but what about that little girl? What has she done wrong? What have her parents done wrong? Why should they lose their daughter for your selfish desires?”
