So satisfying! The Great Demon King wiped out everyone equally!

Early in the morning, the neighbors were drawn by the noise and rushed out of their homes to gather at the door.

Just then, the roar of car engines broke the noise in the courtyard. Several large trucks drove up aggressively and stopped at the entrance of the courtyard.

The car door opened, and a group of people escorted a burly man out of the car. This man was none other than Liu Qiangdong. Behind him was a group of brothers, all of whom looked like men to be trifled with.

The neighbors came out of their homes and stood around the yard, whispering and speculating.

"Whose house is this? Why are so many people here?"

"It looks like they're moving. Are new residents moving into this courtyard?"

Ignoring the stares of those around him, Liu Qiangdong pulled out the key Cang Lan had given him beforehand and strode towards the gate of the courtyard. The key clicked into the lock, and the door opened. He led his men straight into the yard, the entire process flowing smoothly and without hesitation, as if he were the owner of the house.

The neighbors around whispered among themselves, "Could it be that Ding Jianqiang has offended someone?"

"Something doesn't look right. This group of people looks like they're here to move!"

Ding Jianqiang hurriedly put on his clothes inside the house, not even bothering to button them all up, before rushing out. As soon as he stepped outside, he saw a large group of people in the courtyard.

When they saw the leader, a chill ran down their spines. Who else could it be but Liu Qiangdong? He was a notorious ruthless figure in Chongqing, and no one in the area dared to mess with him.

Ding Jianqiang felt his legs go weak, but he immediately put on a fawning smile. He took small steps forward, bowed slightly, and said, "Boss Liu, what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Liu Qiangdong bluntly stated, "I've bought this house, now get out!"

Seeing that Ding Jianqiang didn't react, Liu Qiangdong's henchmen exploded like a powder keg. One of them stepped forward and arrogantly shouted, "Our boss is talking to you, are you deaf?" With that, he punched Ding Jianqiang in the stomach. Ding Jianqiang clutched his stomach and screamed in pain, rolling on the ground.

Liu Qiangdong then slowly spoke, taking out a property certificate from his pocket and waving it in front of Ding Jianqiang: "This house is mine now. You have one hour to move out."

Ding Jianqiang stared wide-eyed at the name on the property certificate, and was instantly struck dumb. Ignoring the pain in his stomach, he hurriedly got up and rushed to his room, frantically searching under the bed.

When he discovered that the property certificate and property ownership certificate that had been there had disappeared, the image of Ding Xianli flashed through his mind, and he felt a wave of despair: "It's over, everything is over."

Qin Guilan and Ding Hui, who were inside the house, finally managed to find a few old clothes from eight hundred years ago to wear before coming out. Seeing a group of people in her yard, Qin Guilan immediately roared, "Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"

Seeing her clothes scattered on the ground and these people standing on them, Ding Hui immediately became impatient and said, "Ah! My clothes! Get out of here! This is my home! If you don't leave, I'll call the police!"

Liu Qiangdong's henchmen burst into laughter. One of them, with a tattoo on his face, said mockingly, "Go ahead and call the police! The property deed clearly says our boss's name. What good will calling the police do? I advise you to be smart and leave now, or don't blame our fists for being merciless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other henchmen raised their sticks and glared at them menacingly.

The family was terrified by the scene. Ding Jianqiang suddenly remembered a box of gold and silver jewelry and gold bars under the yard. As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood. With money in hand, buying a house would be a piece of cake.

Suddenly, his eyes changed from fear to fawning. He endured the pain and walked up to Liu Qiangdong. "Brother Liu... Brother Liu, you are a great man. You have to give us some time to move. Don't worry, we'll pack up in a bit. We promise to get out of here and never come out to bother you again."

Liu Qiangdong frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "Hurry up." After saying that, he said to the locksmith behind him, "Go and change the lock on the front door." As he spoke, he casually threw the key in his hand on the ground.

The locksmith at the door immediately began changing the lock. Liu Qiangdong left with a group of people, leaving only a few of his underlings to guard the yard.

Ding Hui and Qin Guilan collapsed to the ground as they watched Liu Qiangdong and the others leave. Qin Guilan dropped the pretense and burst into a tirade: "That little bitch Ding Xianli! No wonder she'd been so well-behaved these past few days; she was plotting against us all along!"

Ding Hui also cried out, "Mom, what should we do?" Before she could even cry, she saw her clothes all over the yard. It had just rained last night, and her once beautiful clothes were now lying in the mud, covered in mud and grime.

She burst into tears, "My clothes, my dress are all ruined, how am I supposed to wear this now?"

Some greedy neighbors took advantage of the chaos to secretly pick up clothes from the ground. An old woman muttered as she picked them up, "Ding Hui definitely can't wear these clothes anymore. It's a shame to throw them away. Let's take them back for her granddaughter to wear, and then we won't have to spend any money."

Some of the young wives chimed in, "That's right, they're rich. What are these few clothes to them? Hey, those are mine!"

When Ding Hui saw this, she cried even harder. She rushed over and tried to take back her clothes: "You thieves! Don't take my clothes!" But the neighbors ignored her and continued to fight over them.

Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps approached. A group of people walked in, led by a woman in a neat uniform and wearing a red armband. She had a serious expression, and several other people dressed similarly followed behind her.

"Who is Ding Hui?" the man wearing the red armband shouted.

Aunt Liang, who was watching the commotion, pointed at Ding Hui and said loudly, "That one, the one crying the loudest, is Ding Hui."

The man wearing the red armband frowned and looked at Ding Hui, saying, "Why haven't you gone yet after you signed up to go to the countryside? Do you know that you're the only one left? Everyone else has already boarded the train and left!"

Ding Hui was so frightened that she thought her impersonation of Ding Xianli had been discovered. Feeling extremely guilty, she stammered, "I...I didn't register!"

The staff member ignored her explanation and said sternly, "Nonsense! You came here to register in person. Your address, name, home address, and parents' information all match. If you're not Ding Hui, then who am I?"

Just as Ding Hui was about to say it was Ding Xianli, Ding Jianqiang suddenly rushed over and slapped her hard, angrily shouting, "I told you to get up early today, but you didn't. Now look what happened, you missed the rural trip!" A hint of panic flashed in his eyes as he tried to hide his unease.

After finishing his work, Ding Jianqiang quickly put on a smile and said to the staff, "Comrade, we've spoiled this young lady. She's supposed to go to the countryside, but she overslept today. When is the next batch of people going to the countryside leaving?"

The staff member glanced at him and said sternly, "The next batch is in three days. If you don't leave by then, we'll parade you through the streets and send you straight to the farm!" With that, he turned and left with his men.

Ding Hui covered her swollen face and sobbed. The neighbors, seeing this, began to murmur even louder.

"She was supposed to be sent to the countryside in the first place, why is she crying!"

"You don't know this, do you? Ding Jianqiang sent his eldest daughter, who has a heart condition, to the countryside. She left early this morning, and no one even saw her off at the train station. It's so pitiful."

"How shameless! This is their karma. As expected, a stepmother leads to a stepfather. Forcing their own child to go to the countryside, I spit on them!"

Ding Jianqiang listened to these discussions, his face turning pale and then red. Thinking that this matter couldn't be blown out of proportion, or he might lose his job, he quickly had Qin Guilan pull Ding Hui into the house, and then slammed the door shut.

"Dad, Mom, I don't want to go to the countryside. Ding Xianli has already gone to the countryside. Her job should have been mine!" Ding Hui tightly gripped Qin Guilan's hand, her face streaked with tears, a hint of hatred flashing in her eyes.

"Jianqiang, you have to think of something! If our daughter goes to the countryside, her life will be ruined!"

Ding Jianqiang tried to calm himself down, but the two idiots beside him kept arguing. He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Ding Xianli sold the house, do you think she'll keep her job at the hospital? You two idiots!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Hui was struck dumb, collapsing to the ground and bursting into tears. Qin Guilan was also stunned. They had lost their house, their daughter's job, and now she was being sent to the countryside—all because of that bitch Ding Xianli! Why was she so vicious!

"What are you all standing there for? If you don't pack your things, our whole family will die!" Ding Jianqiang said irritably.

It could be said that Cang Lan had emptied the entire house, so Ding Jianqiang was worried that dragging a large suitcase around would attract attention. Therefore, he instructed Qin Guilan to pack some miscellaneous items. Afterward, he went to get an oxcart and haphazardly loaded all the things onto it.

While those people were having breakfast, he dug out the boxes in the yard. In his haste, he didn't even open the boxes to take a look before hurriedly loading them onto the oxcart and leaving, covered in dust.

By the time they arrived, it was already noon. It was the place where Ding Jianqiang lived before he married Du Xinyue, and also the small courtyard where Qin Guilan and her daughter had lived for more than ten years.

Looking at the old, dilapidated house in front of them, the three of them kept complaining.

After they struggled to carry the box into the house, Ding Jianqiang realized that he had only taken one day off and hadn't gone to work yet. If he hadn't gone, he might have lost his job.

But as soon as he arrived at the factory gate, he was stopped by the security guard, who told him that he had been fired and threw his salary for the month at him.

Ding Jianqiang: "On what grounds? On what grounds can the factory fire me without cause?"

The security guard shouted impatiently, "I don't know, I'm firing you, that's all. Just leave, don't talk nonsense!" He was about to hit him when Ding Jianqiang, afraid of being beaten, ran away in a flash without daring to say a word.

But on the way back, he kept muttering, "Fire me? I won't do it! I have so much money, I'm going to enjoy life in the future. You, a lousy security guard, will only ever be a security guard, earning that pitiful salary. Bah..."

When he got home, Ding Jianqiang didn't mention that he had been fired. He was preoccupied with the box full of money he had. But in order to get Ding Hui out of the way, he gave her his salary and told her to buy some things for her trip to the countryside.

As soon as Ding Hui left, Ding Jianqiang and Qin Guilan couldn't wait to open the box.

When the box was opened, there was only a wooden puppet inside. Ding Jianqiang's eyes widened in disbelief. He went berserk, grabbed the puppet, threw it to the ground, and shouted angrily, "Where's the money? Where's the money? Du Xinyue, you liar! Where are my gold bars?"

Seeing this, Qin Guilan was about to ask Ding Jianqiang what was going on when suddenly, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying, she let out a shrill scream.

Suddenly, a strange red light flashed in the eyes of the doll that had been thrown on the ground. Then, with a "hiss," two wisps of black smoke shot out and burrowed straight into the heads of the two people.

Under their horrified gazes, the doll gradually changed, eventually transforming into the appearance of "Du Xinyue".

Du Xinyue's eyes were fixed on them. "Adulterous couple, you killed me, I will make you pay with your lives!" Her voice was as if it came from hell, sinister and terrifying.

Qin Guilan was so frightened that she fainted on the spot, and Ding Jianqiang also collapsed to the ground, his lips trembling as he said, "We didn't mean to..."

Meanwhile, Canglan, sitting on the train, frowned slightly. She had already sensed the doll's awakening. That was the "gift" she had carefully chosen for Ding Jianqiang and Qin Guilan—the cursed doll.

It can transform into the face of the person they fear most, and only the person who sees it immediately upon opening the box can perceive its presence. Once the doll stays by their side day and night, it can eventually enter their bodies, devouring their flesh and absorbing their souls, and even death cannot release it.

In the following days, Ding Jianqiang and Qin Guilan both looked haggard and listless. After only two or three days, they seemed to have their souls drained, like walking corpses.

Ding Hui had no time to care about them at this point. She took the last of the family's money and boarded a train to Heilongjiang Province.

Not long after Ding Hui left, Ding Jianqiang and Qin Guilan went completely insane. They felt that only by turning themselves in would Du Xinyue's ghost stop following them. They went to the police station to turn themselves in, revealing all the details of how they killed Du Xinyue back then, and even begged the police to arrest them.

Even after being arrested, the two remained dazed, frequently muttering that Du Xinyue was not dead, saying she was right beside them and would come to claim their lives every night. Seeing their insane state, the police assumed they were mentally unstable, but given the crimes they confessed to, they were still imprisoned.

But things didn't improve after they entered prison. Du Xinyue's doll remained a persistent haunt, continuing to torment them, controlling their bodies, and causing them to commit various acts of self-harm. They would often uncontrollably break their own legs, cut their wrists, or gouge out their own eyes—scenes that played out repeatedly in prison.

Finally, unable to endure the inhuman torture any longer, they smashed their heads against the wall and died. But they never expected that even after they died and became ghosts, the doll would still haunt them like a shadow...
