Chapter 83: Myth Falls

Chapter 83: Myth Falls

Realman Qingxuan told them some good news, “This case is of a special nature. The Fengdu department will also intervene, and they can provide evidence of Bai Jia’s murder.”

The only regret was that the case could not be publicly tried. Apart from the verdict, no other details could be released to the outside world.

Mr. Yu Jianlong said, “As long as that beast is disgraced and dies, even if he takes a bullet, that is enough!”

The wife was more concerned about her daughter and grandson.

Their daughter looked pitiful, and the grandson had been tortured and exposed to the sun until only a mass of black energy remained. It was far too pitiful and heartbreaking.

“Realman, can my daughter and grandson still be properly nurtured?”

Realman Qingxuan took the opportunity to promote his colleagues’ business and carefully explained how to care for household ghosts.

“If you keep nurturing them, it is fine, but will it delay my daughter’s reincarnation?”

The wife was attentive and thought more carefully about the issue.

Realman Qingxuan said, “That does not affect it. In fact, I also recommend nurturing them for a period before reincarnation. Your daughter and grandson’s souls are very weak, especially your grandson, who is almost on the verge of soul dispersal. Right now Fengdu is also crowded, so reincarnation queues are not something they can enter anytime soon. You two can nurture them for a few years first, and once their souls become stronger, you can decide whether to let them join the queue for reincarnation later.”

Hearing this, the couple felt somewhat reassured.

They could not bear to part with their long-lost daughter again, but they also did not want to delay her and their grandson’s reincarnation.

Hearing that they could be nurtured, they were overjoyed.

The couple lacked nothing except money, and they did not hesitate at all when spending it to buy various talismans.

When Realman Qingxuan left, his colleague Realman Chengde sent him a message on Weibo.

[Chengde Realman, custom talismans of all kinds]: You are really something. This deal is insanely profitable.

[Retired old Daoist Qingxuan]: Stop talking nonsense. Even a big deal cannot seal your mouth.

[Chengde Realman, custom talismans of all kinds]: Another major case this time?

[Retired old Daoist Qingxuan]: Yes. I just feel the Celestial Master world has not been peaceful lately. I hope it is just my imagination. The younger generation is still too inexperienced, each one too naive with not much experience. If something really big happens, I do not know if they can handle it.

The fish that slipped through the net back then is starting to make trouble, and now the younger generation does not have a single capable one among them. With such thoughts, Realman Qingxuan scrolled through his social feed for a while, checking the Celestial Master world updates, and discovered that several familiar young Celestial Masters were actually fans of Bai Jia.

“Even entertainment industry matters have reached the Celestial Master world?”

Realman Qingxuan scratched his head. If it were not for this incident, he would not even have known who Bai Jia was.

Not only were those young Celestial Masters wailing endlessly, the entire internet had exploded as well.

Weibo had crashed several times and was declared beyond repair.

The past few days had been like a nonstop TV drama, wave after wave, twists upon twists, reversals without end.

First, a well known paparazzi directly accused Bai Jia of murdering his wife and child, speaking with absolute certainty.

Bai Jia and his studio immediately responded with official statements and lawyer letters.

Bai Jia even posted a family photo showing affection with his wife, and his wife posted three consecutive messages supporting her husband and refuting the rumors.

To muddy the waters and divert public attention, Bai Jia’s studio also secretly exposed scandals about several competitors.

Fans of all sides fought viciously online.

Just as Bai Jia’s fans were overwhelmingly suppressing the paparazzi’s supporters, the chairman of Bai Long Culture Group personally entered the battlefield.

When the trending topic suddenly appeared, netizens thought the powerful backer was coming to support Bai Jia.

But after clicking in, whether they were Bai Jia fans, rival fans, paparazzi fans, or casual onlookers, everyone exploded.

[Yu Jianlong V]: When I posted this Weibo, my hands were shaking. Not because of disappointment or anger, but because of hatred I could not release. Friends who know me well know that when my wife and I were building our business in our early years, our first daughter was taken by a black hearted nanny and sold away. We searched for more than thirty years without finding her. We thought we would carry this regret to our graves, but fate took a turn. We found our daughter, but she had already been brutally murdered and dismembered seventeen years ago by an evil criminal. My wife and I were blind, we actually found this murderer kind and approachable, and treated him like our own son, personally helping him become a legendary figure in the film industry. By now, you probably know who this murderer is. Yes, it is Bai Jia. I know many of you do not believe this, and I do not want to believe it either, but this is the truth. We will make this murderer pay the price he deserves and comfort our daughter’s spirit in heaven.

Netizens: “!!!”

[Tugging the pants of the person above]: Damn, the paparazzi said Bai Jia murdered wife and child, and the one he killed was the eldest daughter of Bai Long Culture Group?

[A group of little demons]: Oh my god, is this real? Are you sure the account was not hacked?

[Green Peach Blossom]: This kind of absurd dog blood plot, even anti-Japanese drama screenwriters would not dare to write it like this.

[Yili Yogurt Drink]: What is going on with this big shot? Planning to personally crush the film industry legend he built with one Weibo post?

[Going to the toilet without toilet paper]: The internet really has every kind of disgusting worldview. For a big shot, is his daughter more important or the murderer who killed his daughter more important? And “the film industry legend he personally built”? I guess every time he remembers supporting Bai Jia over the years, he probably wants to tear him into pieces. If it were me, I would also feel disgusted. The couple treated their daughter’s killer like a treasure for so many years.

Who was Yu Jianlong?

He was a business legend and a highly respected philanthropist. For decades, the couple had continuously done good deeds, building bridges and roads, donating books, building schools, and establishing foundations to help left behind children and orphans. Over the years, the money they donated amounted to an estimated forty to fifty billion, all publicly transparent and accountable. Even the harshest critics could not find fault with them and only regarded them as living saints.

Bai Jia had been thriving in the entertainment industry largely because many people gave him preferential treatment out of respect for Yu Jianlong and his wife.

No one had expected this.

The daughter the couple had missed for decades and never found was actually murdered by Bai Jia.

If this was true, then the higher Bai Jia had climbed in the entertainment industry, the harder he would fall this time, until he was utterly shattered.

A small portion of fans still tried to observe the situation, but the vast majority had already switched sides, leaving only a small group of diehard supporters struggling in vain.

In the following days, trending lists were completely dominated by Bai Jia related topics.

In an instant, everyone turned against him.

However, the online storm did not affect Pei Ye’s normal life.

“Grimm’s Fairy Tales? They should like it…”

“Andersen’s Fairy Tales? This should be suitable for children…”

“Aesop’s Fables? This also looks pretty good…”

“The Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Surnames, Standards for Being a Good Student and Child… maybe add these too…”

It was Saturday, and the Xinhua Bookstore was quite crowded.

In a somewhat secluded corner, Pei Ye, who radiated the words “not to be messed with” from head to toe, was also immersed in the world of children’s books.

She occasionally pulled books from the shelf to flip through them.

With her movements, system logs would occasionally pop up with related records.
