Shocking! The master of metaphysics is actually the ancestor of ghosts and monsters!

"Oh? So, Miss Chu, you think my sister, an ordinary person, can control ghosts?" Nangong Qinghe's eyes held a complex emotion that was hard to decipher.

He had never met this woman, but he knew that the young master of the Zhao family was accompanied by a genius girl who was born with the ability to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for her own use. The girl's name was Chu Xia.

Chu Xia said, enunciating each word clearly, "It's not that she can control ghosts, but that she colluded with a Taoist priest who can control ghosts! She has ulterior motives, and she's always liked bullying her classmates, hasn't she?"

The implication was clear: he was reminding Nangong Qinghe that he should know what his younger sister was like.

Her gaze was sharp; though she appeared to be the one in a passive position, her words still carried a strong sense of conviction.

They didn't give Nangong Qinghe any face at all.

Nangong Qinghe remained unperturbed, maintaining her calm and composed demeanor.

Qian Rui, however, was furious. He clenched his fists and stepped forward menacingly, shouting, "Don't think I don't hit women!"

Anyone who speaks disrespectfully to the boss will be beaten!

Don't think he didn't realize she was cursing his entire family as bad people.

"You?" Chu Xia glanced at him disdainfully. "You're not qualified."

Qianrui was instantly enraged, "I'll beat you to death right now."

She's just a little girl who was born with the ability to use spiritual power, yet she dares to be so arrogant.

"Nangong Qinghe, manage your subordinates!" Zhao Yanchen rubbed his forehead; his head was still spinning and his eyes were blurry, but that didn't hinder his thinking ability.

"Qianrui!" Nangong Qinghe reached out to stop Qianrui from stepping forward, and with her other hand gripping the pistol, she suddenly laughed, her tone almost cold, "Miss Chu, I don't know where my sister offended you to make you frame her like this."

You should know that she was tricked into entering this forbidden mountain. Do you think it was Qiao Feng or you?

He leaned forward slightly, and his words carried a strong sense of pressure.

When Chu Xia heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

He found out everything? Although she was willing to take Nangong Qian with her, it was her master's decision.

Besides, Nangong Qian is an inherently wicked person; even if she dies here, she deserves to die.

Thinking of this, her momentary guilt vanished.

Her fleeting guilty expression did not escape Nangong Qinghe's notice. Nangong Qinghe smiled even more gently and looked at Zhao Yanchen, "Young Master Zhao, oh no, now the eldest young master of the Zhao family, you know perfectly well that Qianqian is an ordinary person, yet you still followed the wishes of this Miss Chu beside you and brought her in. What does that mean?"

His words were even polite, but the coldness in his eyes was enough to show that his patience had reached its limit.

Only Qianrui knew that the boss was angry.

Meanwhile, the unsuspecting team members thought they had misunderstood Nangong Qinghe, who seemed like a living Yama, but was actually quite approachable.

Even though the other side was cursing at him, he was still calmly reasoning with them. The captain has such a good temper.

Could it be that all the previous rumors were false?

Zhao Yanchen's face turned ugly, not only because he had been told what he wanted to hear, but more so because Nangong Qinghe had mentioned the eldest son of the Zhao family.

He was the illegitimate son of a mistress who became the wife of another man. It was only because the real eldest son of the Zhao family, Zhao Jianzhi, died mysteriously a few years ago that the Zhao family came to their door and took him and his mother back.

To cover up the matter, the Zhao family announced that he was Zhao Jianzhi's younger brother, who was in poor health and had been living abroad. Few people knew that he was the son of a mistress.

Everyone says that the eldest son of the Zhao family is stunningly talented. If he hadn't died, what would his life have been like? He would always live in Zhao Jianzhi's shadow.

No matter what he was learning, his grandfather would always compare him to Zhao Jianzhi. If he made even the slightest mistake, he would be belittled. He worked hard day and night to climb up the ranks, and it wasn't until these past few years that he finally broke free from Zhao Jianzhi's curse, and his grandfather began to show his approval of him.

Nangong Qinghe, however, revealed the veil of unease hidden in his heart.

He knew, he knew he was the son of a mistress!

Zhao Yanchen's blood surged, and the excessive energy caused him to vomit blood. Clutching his chest, he collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

“…Ah Chen.” Chu Xia quickly stepped forward and put her arm around Zhao Yanchen, letting him lean his entire weight on her.

Then, with a look of anger on her face, she looked up at Nangong Qinghe and said, "Captain Nangong, is this how your Nangong family bullies people? You want to assign blame without any evidence, or is it your principle in handling cases to fabricate stories!"

Even if it was her idea to have Qiao Feng take Nangong Qian with him, so what? Even if he knew, so what? Does he have any evidence?

After all, Nangong Qian was brought up the mountain by Qiao Feng!

"Bang!" The gunshot startled everyone.

A bullet grazed Chu Xia's cheek, her eardrums buzzing. She looked on in disbelief. Nangong Qinghe had gone mad; how dare she... fire a gun?

"Nangong, Qinghe!"

"Cough!" It took Zhao Yanchen a long time to squeeze out a few words.

He wanted to intimidate Nangong Qinghe, but he couldn't make a sound at all.

“Miss Chu, you’re mistaken. My investigative style is to extract confessions through torture!” Nangong Qinghe’s cold smile vanished, her tone losing its gentleness, the threat unmistakable. “You’d better tell me where Qianqian is, or I won’t hesitate to use this method on you!”

As the wind blew past, his voice echoed in everyone's ears in this gloomy environment, like a spell.

"?!!!"

The boss has gone mad!

The captain has gone mad!

That's everyone's first reaction.

The laws of the country still apply; how can vigilante justice be used against ordinary citizens?

The Living Yama...

Qianrui, who usually had a fiery temper, suppressed it and stood silently behind, trying to make himself less noticeable. It had been a long time since he had seen his boss so angry.

You absolutely must not mess with the boss at this time!

Chu Xia's cheeks twitched, her chest heaving rapidly. She was furious. Sure enough, this whole family were no good. Ha, these scoundrels, she would find a chance to teach them a lesson sooner or later.

Nangong Qinghe's gun-raising stance remained unchanged; the muzzle was directly turned towards Chu Xia, her face expressionless. "Speak!"

It was as if if Chu Xia answered a single word incorrectly, it would be the end of her life.

Chu Xia's thoughts were immediately in disarray. Reasoning with bad people was pointless, and she wasn't sure if Nangong Qinghe would really kill her.

With his remaining strength, Zhao Yanchen steadied himself, stepped in front of Chu Xia, and hardened his stance, staring directly at Nangong Qinghe, "Do you dare to shoot?"

When Chu Xia saw Zhao Yanchen struggling to stay upright in front of her, her mind went blank. She felt ashamed when she thought about abandoning him. That wasn't her. She must have been influenced by the evil energy. Otherwise, why would she have abandoned Yanchen?

"Crack!"

The sound of pulling the trigger.

Everyone remained silent; the scene...

Qianrui panicked and, steeling himself, grabbed Nangong Qinghe's arm. "Boss, murder is against the law!"

Besides, he is the grandson of the Zhao family.

The atmosphere was tense and suffocating.
