The Useless Heiress Is Actually A Bigshot
Chapter 317 - Chapter 317 Chapter 317 Call the Police

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Call the Police Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Call the Police “Why did you harm Zhao Xuanglang?” Zhong Niangyao asked the Evil Ghost, her eyes sharp as she continued, “You took advantage of his kindness to hook his Three Souls for your own soul nourishment, which is utterly wicked.”

“I have to take revenge, I have to leave this place and strengthen myself; I did nothing wrong.” The little girl ghost’s face twisted viciously, showing no sign of regret, “I want to kill him.”

“If you want to take revenge, that’s your affair,” Zhong Niangyao frowned, “Zhao Xuanglang didn’t hurt you. In fact, you were only able to harm him because of his kind-heartedness. How is your behavior of exploiting someone’s kindness to hurt others any different from that of the actual perpetrator!”

“I am not, I am not.” The little girl shook her head continuously, “I just want to take revenge, why did he have to kill me–I–”

“You are his child.” Zhong Niangyao said bluntly, “You were killed by your own biological father, which is why your resentment is so strong.”

Upon hearing this, everyone else present was collectively shocked. They certainly hadn’t anticipated such a revelation, having wondered what kind of criminal could cruelly murder a six or seven-year-old girl who appeared so adorable.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her biological father. What kind of beast could so ruthlessly kill his own flesh and blood? No wonder the little girl had turned into an Evil Ghost.

“How do you know?” The little girl was surprised, but she also became more wary of Zhong Niangyao, “Since you know, you shouldn’t stop me from taking revenge.”

“I am not stopping you from taking revenge,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head, “Your resentment is too heavy, which is why you have become an Evil Ghost. If the resentment doesn’t dissipate, you can’t be reincarnated. So, if you want revenge, it has nothing to do with me. However, if you want to strengthen your ghost energy by using a living person’s three souls and seven spirits, I absolutely will not allow it.”

“Wah–”

The little girl burst into loud sobs, crying pitifully, a stark contrast to her earlier deceitful act. At this moment, she no longer had the appearance of an Evil Ghost, but looked like an ordinary, extremely sad little girl.

Seeing the little girl like this, and knowing her tragic story, everyone present couldn’t help but sympathize with her. Even Zhao Xuanglang and Liu Zihang, who had been victims or nearly victims, had forgotten the preceding events and just felt pity for the little girl.

Zhong Niangyao’s expression remained unchanged. If one had to describe it, “expressionless” would be apt, making it impossible to guess what she was truly thinking.

As Zhong Niangyao appeared utterly unmoved, the little girl gradually stopped crying and looked at Zhong Niangyao, then said, “You are very powerful; I can’t beat you. But if you really take me in today, then I–I–”

She was, after all, just a little girl, and even as an Evil Ghost, she still had the mind of a child. The idea to use Zhao Xuanglang’s souls to strengthen her ghost energy must have been an inherent instinct of being an Evil Ghost.

“Tell me the details,” Zhong Niangyao spoke indifferently, “and I might help you.”

“Really?” The little girl showed a surprised look but soon became cautious again, “Are you deceiving me? You’re a Heavenly Master, how could you possibly help me harm someone?”

Being an Evil Ghost, she naturally feared the aura emanating from Zhong Niangyao, a fear ingrained in her soul.

She was after all just a little girl, and even though she had become an Evil Ghost, she didn’t really know how to use many of her powers. She could see that Zhong Niangyao was truly powerful, noticeable from a single glance that she knew how her own father had killed her.

If Zhong Niangyao really helped her, she might be able to take revenge. But she didn’t believe Zhong Niangyao would be willing to assist her.

“Why can’t I help you?” Zhong Niangyao countered, “Moreover, only by clearing away your resentment can you be reincarnated again. Or do you really wish to be forever unable to transcend?”

“How would you help me then?” The little girl’s eyes still filled with doubt.

“It’s simple.”

During the conversation, Zhong Niangyao pulled out her phone and made a call, “Captain Han, I want to report a crime. I’ve discovered the body of a little girl in a pond in West Mountain.”

“I am sending you the location now; send someone over quickly!”

After receiving a response from the other end, she hung up the phone.

Everyone was stunned by Zhong Niangyao’s brisk actions; they had thought of many ways, but hadn’t expected Zhong Niangyao to just call the police directly.

“What are you looking at?”

Zhong Niangyao put away her phone and then noticed the looks from everyone, appearing somewhat puzzled, “A crime has occurred; isn’t it normal to call the police?”

Though there was nothing wrong with it, having just witnessed Zhong Niangyao’s supernatural methods, seeing her act like a regular person reporting a crime seemed odd.

After calling the police, Zhong Niangyao looked at the little girl and spoke directly, “Alright, can you tell me your story now? Otherwise, when the police arrive, I won’t know how to explain to them!”

Being a little girl, she nodded and began, “My name is Qiaoqiao, and it was my dad who brought me here. My parents were divorced before I was even born. I always knew that my dad didn’t like me. But still, I liked my dad.”

As she spoke, Qiaoqiao’s eyes began turning blood red, her face twisting menacingly, “That day, my dad suddenly said he wanted to take me out for fun, and I was very happy. But after bringing me here, he gave me a bottle of milk. After drinking it, I felt very sleepy and then fell asleep.”

“Afterward, he stuffed me into a large suitcase, filled it with many stones, and threw me into this pond.”

“He’s my dad! Even if he didn’t love me, why did he have to kill me?”

Perhaps overly heartbroken, Qiaoqiao showed signs of becoming darker, and the ghost energy around her thickened, seeming on the verge of going berserk.

Observing Qiaoqiao’s appearance, Zhong Niangyao frowned and immediately began chanting the Heart Clarity Spell.

With the sound of the spell resonating, gradually, Qiaoqiao regained clarity, and her appearance returned to that of a normal person, her aura gradually stabilizing, once again embodying a naive little girl.
