Chapter 345 - 343: Envy Is the Original Sin

Chapter 345: Chapter 343: Envy Is the Original Sin

When she stepped outside, Sister Zhong immediately knelt down with a thump.

"Ma’am! I really know I did wrong!

My daughter’s school fees were needed, and the thresholds for schools in Imperial City are too high. The gentleman said he could help me and even reimburse all my daughter’s tuition. That’s why I did such a thing!

I’m not human, but I had no choice!"

Xu Jing looked at her coldly, "Do you know that I almost died today? You are a mother yourself, don’t you know how important children are to me?

If someone stole your daughter, could you still live?"

Sister Zhong couldn’t refute her words, tears streaming down her face.

Xu Jing still chose to call the police, and Sister Zhong was taken away by the police for investigation.

After explaining the causes and consequences to the police, Xu Jing expressed her suspicion that her husband had found a stillbirth to deceive her, and the hospital at that time was in cahoots with him!

The police questioned Sister Zhong’s neighbors, corroborating Xu Jing’s statement, and immediately took this case seriously, proceeding to investigate Xu Jing’s husband and the relevant hospital.

Just past eight in the evening, Xu Jing’s husband, Lu Shigui, was preparing to leave the company after work. He frequently glanced at his phone, wondering why there hadn’t been a call from the hospital yet?

Today, when the firefighter called him and learned that Xu Jing was about to jump off a building, he knew his plan had worked.

Once Xu Jing died, everything would settle.

To ensure that Xu Jing would be completely heartbroken, Lu Shigui deliberately did not go.

But he waited and waited and still didn’t receive news of Xu Jing’s death.

Lu Shigui called Xu Jing, with no one answering, completely unaware of her situation. After thinking it over for a moment, he decided to go home and check.

Upon reaching his front door, he discovered that the door was wide open and there were a lot of policemen inside.

Lu Shigui’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition in his mind.

"Are you Xu Jing’s husband, Lu Shigui? Your wife has accused you of killing an infant and bribing hospital staff. Please cooperate with our investigation."

At the police’s words, Lu Shigui’s face turned pale.

"Officer, is there some mistake?"

At that moment, Xu Jing came out of the bedroom holding the child.

"Our child isn’t dead at all. Whose stillborn child did I see that day? Lu Shigui, to deceive me, you wouldn’t have gone so far as to kill someone else’s child, would you?"

Seeing the child in Xu Jing’s hands, Lu Shigui’s eyes widened in shock.

He had been waiting for Xu Jing to commit suicide, and yet, he hadn’t expected her to discover the truth!

Could it have been Sister Zhong who betrayed him?

But he had told Sister Zhong that if the message leaked, both of them would go to jail. She couldn’t possibly have done this!

Lu Shigui couldn’t understand at all how Xu Jing had come to know the truth.

The police saw his expression and felt something was off. They took him to the police station first.

Lu Shigui had done so much in an attempt to drive Xu Jing to her death and left behind many traces that simply couldn’t withstand scrutiny. The police quickly found evidence.

When Qin Zhao saw Lu Shigui for the first time, he knew why he wanted to push Xu Jing to death.

"Your Qi Fortune has been stolen by him."

"Ever since I graduated, everything has been so unlucky for me, all because he stole my Qi Fortune?"

"To be precise, he switched your Fate Diagram. He was never destined for great wealth and nobility in this life, at most a nine-to-five office drone."

"Both of you graduated from prestigious universities, but you are different. Your career line is flourishing, and you can achieve great success. The disparity between you two will keep growing, and with different values, it’s not suitable to continue together.

He probably had someone calculate your future, unwilling to accept his own mediocrity while you continue to excel, so he found a way to transfer your Fate Diagram onto himself.

Stealing a Fate Diagram isn’t a one-time deal. Since you are able to bear a good Fate Diagram, it indicates that your ancestors have accumulated virtue, and you must have also done many good deeds in your past lives.

The Heavenly Dao will gradually help you retrieve your Fate Diagram, unless you die, then your Fate Diagram will truly belong to him. However, the person who stole your Fate Diagram can’t kill you himself.

If he kills you himself or has someone else murder you, he will be tainted with karma, and the Spell will reveal its flaws. The Heavenly Dao will reclaim what doesn’t belong to him, and that’s why he designed things this way for you."

Qin Zhao said a lot, and Xu Jing took a long time to digest it all before she finally understood her meaning.

"Now that your death trap has been broken, Lu Shigui awaits prison. I have a talisman here that can help you quickly retrieve your Qi Fortune."

"Thank you! I really can’t thank you enough!"

Xu Jing was immensely grateful, having previously not been much of a believer in mystical techniques. It was only after experiencing it herself that she truly realized how terrifying and unavoidable it was.

"Master Qin, could you take a look at my son’s future?" Xu Jing anxiously looked at the child in her arms, "I don’t ask for him to be rich and powerful, just for him to be safe and smooth-sailing."

"The little fellow doesn’t have any major disasters; he will be safe."

First, however, she had to deal with the person who assisted Lu Shigui in stealing the Fate Diagram.

To express her gratitude for Qin Zhao’s help, Xu Jing gave her all of her savings from over the years, about two million. Qin Zhao left her with the talisman for retrieving Qi Fortune and another peace charm for the baby.

After leaving Xu Jing’s home, Qin Zhao donated a portion of the money she earned. Not only could it help her accumulate merit, but also help her employers garner blessings.

"You go home first, I’m going to the police station."

Qin Zhao said to Chu Yan before her figure vanished from his sight.

Chu Yan knew she was going after the accomplice, but Qin Zhao moved too fast, disappearing in an instant, leaving him clueless as to where she went to find the person, so he had to head home first.

Qin Zhao did not know where the accomplice was either, so she quietly visited the police station and coerced Lu Shigui to get the answer.

She had thought the accomplice would be a Mystical Master, but it turned out not to be a person.

This individual was an ancestral Ghost of Lu Shigui’s, who had committed many evils in life, had not dared to go to the underworld, and thus had escaped the capture of Netherworld Envoys, wandering the Human World.

The parents of Lu Shigui had died early, and his upbringing was fraught with hardships. Fortunately, his academic performance was strong, and he was admitted to a top university. However, his luck was not good, and he was not destined to make a fortune in this lifetime.

There was a time during ancestral worship - at the time, Lu Shigui and Xu Jing were merely boyfriend and girlfriend, but marriage was already being discussed, so Xu Jing was also brought along for the ancestral worship.

Lu Shigui encountered that ancestor; initially frightened, but then the ancestor proposed to change his fate, hoping that he would offer more in ancestral worship afterward.

This ancestor had died long ago; his soul hiding and dodging about outside. Sadly, none of his descendants were of any talent, instead all forgetting their roots and being cold-hearted, which led to him nearly starving to death outside.

Finally, able to return to his hometown, he saw his own descendants. It turned out there was only one lone bud left, and this lone bud, Lu Shigui, wasn’t all that remarkable either.

Seeing Xu Jing with a prosperous career line, the ancestor harbored malicious intent.

Master Qin traveled by Sword Control to Lu Shigui’s old home, located in the countryside of a province in the south.

It was very far from Imperial City, requiring a flight and a bus ride, taking about five or six hours.

With Sword Control, it took only dozens of minutes.

That old ghost was still waiting for Lu Shigui’s success to come worship him. He did not expect the disaster that would wipe him out, as Qin Zhao effortlessly eradicated him and collected his soul beads.

The ghost turned out to be an Evil Ghost, not just committing this one act of evil.

By the time Qin Zhao returned home by Sword Control, it was already the wee hours of the morning.

She thought Chu Yan would be asleep, but after checking the bedroom and finding he wasn’t there, she wondered where that dog of a man had run off to in the middle of the night?
