"Master, Master, please let me go!" The person kneeling in front of Shu Wanwan raised his head. Shu Wanwan looked at the face of the person in front of her. The face of the person was surrounded by black air, and she could not see anything.

Shu Wanwan counted with her fingers, and two faces quickly appeared in her mind: one was Lin Lao Er and the other was Lin Lao San. "Are you Lin Lao Da?" Shu Wanwan was not sure. This person's fate seemed to be deliberately concealed, and it was shrouded in mystery.

"Master!" Ye Linfeng trotted over to Shu Wanwan's side. He looked at the man kneeling before him and took a closer look.

"Are these the Lin brothers?" Ye Linfeng had seen the second and third Lin brothers before, so he could naturally see the similarities in their eyes and brows.

"Yeah." Although Shu Wanwan responded to Ye Linfeng, her eyes were still fixed on Boss Lin.

"Did you shoot the Phoenix Feather Arrow?" Shu Wanwan asked coldly.

"Master, someone ordered me to do this. Master, it's not me." Boss Lin was so anxious that he was talking nonsense.

"Who is it?" Shu Wanwan's tone became even colder.

"Yes...Ah!!!" A burst of black energy poured into Boss Lin's body from behind. Boss Lin screamed and fell to the ground with a thud.

Boss Lin lay on the ground, his face grim and his body eerily pale. Beneath his skin, his blood vessels seemed to have lost control, bulging like earthworms, covering his entire body. These veins were a terrifying dark purple, as if ready to burst at any moment. His eyes were wide, revealing despair and fear, as if he had witnessed some horrific scene in his final moments. His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to shout but couldn't. His fingers were bent, the whole scene was chilling and horrifying.

"Dead!" Ye Linfeng saw this and hurriedly looked over to check Boss Lin's breath. Then he turned around and said to Shu Wanwan in panic.

"He's not dead," Shu Wanwan stared at Boss Lin's body, paused, and then said, "He's just a broken soul."

"What?" Ye Linfeng's eyes widened in fear. Who on earth could take someone as powerful as Shu Wanwan's life so easily?! Ye Linfeng's back broke into a cold sweat as he thought about it.

In fact, even if Boss Lin didn't say it, Shu Wanwan had already guessed that there must be someone behind Boss Lin, and she asked Bai Xuan and Dai Yan to catch poachers and smugglers of protected animals. It was impossible for them to leave any traces, so Boss Lin couldn't know. Then there was only one reason for Boss Lin to appear here, he came for the Phoenix Feather Arrow, the Phoenix Feather Arrow that was only half corroded and could still be purified.

Shu Wanwan pondered for a moment and said, "Boss Lin is the mastermind behind the smuggling, but now that he's dead, I'm afraid we won't be able to track down anyone else."

"Master, did you know that he would come tonight?" Ye Linfeng asked.

Shu Wanwan shook her head and said, "I called you here for something else." Then Shu Wanwan took out a piece of talisman paper from her pocket and continued, "Today, when I was filming, I encountered a ghost attached to a scarecrow. I came to you to file a case."

"Does this ghost-collecting case need to be filed?" Ye Linfeng was puzzled.

So Shu Wanwan told Ye Linfeng about the evil ghost.

This evil spirit was once a local watermelon buyer named Cao Xiang. He would come to Linjia Village every year to collect watermelons, and the year before last was no exception. While doing so, Cao Xiang happened to meet Lin Bijun, the daughter of the melon farm's owner. Seeing her stunning beauty, Cao Xiang harbored evil intentions and, under the guise of pursuing her, pursued her. However, Lin Bijun had no interest in Cao Xiang and repeatedly rejected him. Feeling humiliated, Cao Xiang became enraged and unleashed his evil intentions.

One night, when Lin Bijun was returning home late, Cao Xiang, taking advantage of the situation, dragged her into a melon field and attempted to commit adultery. Lin Bijun fought back desperately, but she was outnumbered and outmatched. Ultimately, poor Lin Bijun was raped and brutally murdered by Cao Xiang.

Later, Cao Xiang spent a huge amount of money and connections to suppress the matter and prevent it from fermenting and escalating. However, the truth would eventually come out. Lin Bijun's father discovered the truth behind the matter through some subtle clues and signs.

Last year, when Cao Xiang came again to collect the fruits, Lin's father finally lost his patience, his rage ignited. He took advantage of Cao Xiang's unpreparedness and without hesitation, killed him and hid his body inside a scarecrow in the field. Originally a decorative object used to ward off birds and beasts, the scarecrow had become a tool to conceal his crimes. Over time, the scarecrow gradually blended into its surroundings, as if it were a natural part of the place. No one could have imagined that within this seemingly ordinary scarecrow lay such a shocking secret.

After Cao Xiang's passing, his heart was filled with resentment and resentment! His intense resentment prevented his soul from resting in peace, ultimately transforming into a ferocious ghost that fermented within the scarecrow. He seemed to have forgotten that he was the cause of all this!

"Then should I go and catch that melon farmer named Lin now?" Ye Linfeng sighed in his heart after hearing this story.

"No need. He's dead." Shu Wanwan said calmly.

"Dead?" Ye Linfeng was puzzled.

"Yeah." Shu Wanwan's voice was soft, but it revealed a deep sense of helplessness and regret. Her eyes dimmed, as if she was remembering something heartbreaking. "He couldn't bear the torment of conscience after killing someone, so he ultimately chose suicide."

She kept thinking about the old man she'd met that day, the melon farmer who'd stopped her from approaching the scarecrow. No doubt, the old man was consumed by pain every day after his murder. He didn't regret avenging his daughter, but he felt incredibly sad that he couldn't bring justice to her through legitimate means.

Finally, tonight, this lonely old man passed away. He died quietly in his own home, unnoticed. Perhaps, for him, this was a kind of relief? After all, he no longer had to endure that endless mental torture.

Shu Wanwan sighed softly, a complex emotion welling up in her heart. She knew that there was too much injustice and injustice in this world, and often people would choose extreme means to seek so-called fairness.

After a long time, Shu Wanwan spoke again, "Go and file a case for that girl, and restore the truth to the public." He asked Ye Linfeng to come to file a case for Lin Bijun. She didn't feel sorry for Cao Xiang at all. This was his retribution, but what about Lin Bijun and Lin's father? The father and daughter of the Lin family were the real victims.
