Chapter 198: The Truth of the Matter
"Roar!" The busybody opened her mouth and let out a loud roar, her bones creaking as the flames on her body instantly turned a light blue.
The Suit-clad Man was greatly frightened by the busybody. He struggled continuously, trying to break free from the small Paper Figurine, but after much effort with no results, he could only shout loudly, "My dad is Xiang Ming!"
I waved my hand, signaling the busybody to stop. The Ghost Fire on her body instantly retracted, transforming back into a sexy and enchanting woman. The Suit-clad Man sighed in relief and heavily knelt on the Ground, supporting himself with his hands while gasping for breath.
I slowly walked in front of him, crouched down, and calmly asked, "Listen, I don't have time to waste with you. I hope you can tell me everything you know in the shortest time possible. After that, I will guide you to the underworld so you can live a life of abundance."
He nodded, cautiously glancing at the busybody beside him, then slowly began to recount a past story.
This man was named Xiang Qing.
Xiang Qing was the son of the current police chief, Xiang Ming, and also a good friend of Guo Yongjia. He and Guo Yongjia grew up together; they went to school together, left school together, competed to see who could urinate farther, discussed beautiful women together, got into high school together, fell in love with the same girl together, and talked about tomorrow together.
They shared similar hobbies, equal family backgrounds, and the same life goals.
However, when Guo Yongjia dropped out of high school to start a business, Xiang Qing learned that Guo Yongjia had found a master named Liu Lao Er.
Liu Lao Er was a strict old man; however, in the eyes of Guo Yongjia and Xiang Qing, he was an undeniable expert.
Men have ambitions to varying degrees, but buried in the earth are not only bones but also ambitions.
Every man has a dream of being a martial artist, and Guo Yongjia and Xiang Qing are no exception. After Guo Yongjia started following Liu Lao Er, Xiang Qing often went along to learn as well, but the direction of their studies was quite different.
Guo Yongjia admired absolute power and enjoyed studying arithmetic. Not long after following Liu Lao Er, he was already able to glimpse the secrets of heaven and predict some future events. In contrast, Xiang Qing admired martial prowess; he believed that a man should take up arms and fight, and even without bullets, he should use his fists and feet to make his enemies submit before him.
Later on, Guo Yongjia's career grew larger and larger, while Xiang Qing struggled with his studies. He only managed to practice his skills sporadically, and during this time, he received severe criticism from Father for taking seven exams without writing anything.
In Father's eyes, he was an absolute 'loser.' Father strictly disciplined him and urged him to apply to the Armed Police Academy, hoping he could inherit the family business and become the next Police Chief.
However, Xiang Qing entered his rebellious phase. He gave up on his studies and focused on learning from Liu Lao Er. At that time, Guo Yongjia had a girlfriend named Yan Shan Shan and a good friend named Guo Yang.
Through Guo Yongjia's introduction, Xiang Qing met Guo Yang and Liu Yiyi, and learned about Guo Jia.
One day, Guo Yongjia said to Xiang Qing, "Xiang Qing, are you envious of Guo Yang?"
It would be a lie to say he wasn't! At that time, Xiang Qing was still single—not because there weren't girls pursuing him, but because he felt that he should prioritize his training and didn't want to date. Additionally, with strict parenting, his parents did not allow him to date before the age of 26.
"I am envious," Guo Yongjia said to Xiang Qing. "Liu Yiyi is beautiful! She is completely devoted to Guo Yang; she is the kind of woman who would fight to the death for love without leaving a trace behind. Do you remember Guo Jia?"
Xiang Qing nodded in confusion. She was a very cute girl; every time he saw Guo Jia, she would run up to him, call him uncle, and share all her snacks with him while sitting on his lap, eating herself and feeding him at the same time.
The little girl was innocent and adorable, as well as very smart. She had a pair of pure eyes and always asked Xiang Qing, "Uncle, I asked my Mommy how I was born. Mommy told me to ask Daddy. Daddy said that one night an angel brought me to their bed, and that's how I came to be. Is that right?"
Xiang Qing smiled and nodded while the little girl continued, "Uncle, do you know why ATMs dispense money by themselves?"
Xiang Qing shook his head in response.
Guo Jia said with a smile, "Daddy said there is a person inside the ATM. When we put in the bank card and press the numbers, that person will hand out the money. So every time I go to withdraw money with Daddy, because Daddy doesn't understand manners, Mommy said we should take care of Daddy like we take care of a child. So every time Daddy finishes withdrawing money, I always say thank you to the ATM." Jiajia asked, "Are you being good?"
"Good!" Xiang Qing replied with a smile.
At that moment, everyone in the room laughed, whether it was Guo Yang or Liu Yiyi, but the only ones who didn't laugh were Guo Yongjia and Liu Yiyi.
"Do you know? I can never have children!" One day, Guo Yongjia told Xiang Qing this.
Xiang Qing didn't take it seriously at the time.
Until one day later, Guo Yongjia invited him to a suburb where they laid out a newspaper on the Ground and drank a lot of alcohol.
After drinking, Guo Yongjia revealed that Yan Shanshan was desperately wanting a child and was driving him crazy. Every time she saw Guo Jia, Yan Shanshan would go home and have a big fight with him. Xiang Qing found it hard to understand; how could the usually gentle and elegant Yan Shanshan really argue?
It turned out that everyone has two sides. When a woman has all her clothes stripped off by a man, she would want to give everything to that man and also hope for everything she desires from him.
Men conquer women by conquering the world, while women conquer the world by conquering men.
Yan Shanshan treated Guo Yongjia very well, almost every day making sure he ate nutritious food and using various methods to entice him into having sex every night. Some say marriage equals long-term prostitution, but many believe marriage is a shackle. In the first year of marriage, sex is like food; in the second year, it's optional; in the third year, it hardly happens.
Guo Yongjia, who was initially excited, eventually became afraid to go home. He started to fear Yan Shanshan and doubted his own abilities. So he went to the hospital for an examination, which revealed he had acquired infertility. He didn't dare tell Yan Shanshan and chose to avoid her instead because he knew her longing for a child could never be fulfilled unless... through surrogacy!
That day after getting drunk, Guo Yongjia hoped that Xiang Qing could help him make Yan Shanshan pregnant. At first, Xiang Qing found it absurd but had to admit that it was a fact: Yan Shanshan was indeed beautiful in his eyes and truly a woman worth loving. So under the influence of alcohol, he agreed.
What happened next was basically predictable! What started as drunken nonsense eventually became reality.
Guo Yongjia primarily focuses on arithmetic, but he is much smarter than Xiang Qing. Among Liu Lao Er's various skills, although he doesn't put much effort into other areas, he has learned them much better than Xiang Qing.
Every night, after returning home and finishing the nourishing meal cooked by Yan Shan Shan, Guo Yongjia would actively pull Yan Shan Shan into the bedroom. He would then light a candle and ask Yan Shan Shan to wait for a moment. After that, using the candle's faint smoke, he would make Yan Shan Shan faint, and then let Xiang Qing enter the room. To prevent Yan Shan Shan from suddenly waking up in her dreams, Guo Yongjia would perform a ritual to enter Yan Shan Shan's dreams and accompany her in a passionate dream.
While Yan Shan Shan dreamed of making love with her husband, it was actually Xiang Qing who was sweating profusely on top of her.
Yan Shan Shan did not notice anything amiss, so everything went smoothly. Almost every day when she woke up, she would see her husband beside her, and her lower body would be covered in dried liquid. She felt very satisfied and thus grew to love Guo Yongjia even more.
While enjoying Yan Shan Shan's affection, Guo Yongjia also developed strong dissatisfaction towards Xiang Qing. Xiang Qing felt that perhaps this surrogacy was a mistake from the very beginning.
Later on, Xiang Qing realized that he had fallen in love with Yan Shan Shan. Whether it was her tenderness, the soft moans she made in her dreams, or her perfect figure, everything made Xiang Qing aware that he had become infatuated with her. He often found excuses to visit Yan Shan Shan's home, even when Guo Yongjia was not there. He paid close attention to every move and smile of hers.
Every night, he would take the initiative to show up at her door. Over time, Guo Yongjia began to show his dissatisfaction with him. Xiang Qing noticed this but couldn't control himself from provoking Guo Yongjia.
After discovering that Yan Shan Shan was pregnant, Guo Yongjia wasn't as happy as he had imagined. That day, coincidentally, Xiang Qing was hiding in the Villa, so he overheard this conversation.
"Honey, I might be pregnant!"
"Ah?"
"My period hasn't come this month yet. Can you take me to the Hospital for a check-up?"
"Let's wait a few more days!"
Outside eavesdropping, Xiang Qing was overjoyed because a thought crossed his mind: I'm going to be a dad!
He actively invited Guo Yongjia, intentionally or unintentionally steering the conversation towards Yan Shanshan, hoping that Guo Yongjia would tell him about Yan Shanshan's pregnancy. However, Guo Yongjia remained tight-lipped about it and simply gave him some money, advising him to learn from Liu Laoniu and preferably not to see Yan Shanshan again.
At that moment, Xiang Qing realized that Yan Shanshan was Guo Yongjia's wife, not his, and that his child would only call Guo Yongjia "Daddy," not him.
Awakening from his dream, he focused on learning from Liu Laoniu. However, Liu Laoniu died mysteriously. He couldn't believe that someone as skilled as Liu Laoniu could die, so he was determined to find the murderer and would report any progress to Guo Yongjia.
In fact, Xiang Qing had selfish motives; he wanted to see Yan Shanshan and his child. Unfortunately, he never got to see his child but instead heard the news that Guo Jia was dead.
Guo Jia had been dead for several years and had been skinned alive. While he was infatuated with Yan Shanshan, Guo Jia had already died, and even Liu Yiyi had gone mad. Guo Yang had aged significantly due to stress.
After returning home, Xiang Qing felt that Guo Jia's death was unusual and began secretly investigating it. Eventually, he traced the matter back to Guo Yongjia.
Xiang Qing had almost completed his investigation! It was certain that Yan Shanshan would not have children anymore. It was also clear that when Yan Shanshan repeatedly mentioned Guo Xiang, Guo Yongjia could no longer contain his pressure and killed Guo Jia. Afterward, Yan Shanshan's desire for a child remained strong, which led her to seek him as a surrogate.
Xiang Qing suddenly realized that Guo Yongjia would eventually take action against him. So before that happened, he prepared everything he would need in the underworld and set up the Three Sovereigns formation and the Seven Gates Ghost Sealing formation in the cemetery. Besides seeking revenge for his master, he hoped these two formations could help him take revenge and threaten Guo Yongjia.
As expected, Guo Yang died!
Xiang Qing knew it was Guo Yongjia's doing. Not only did Guo Yongjia kill Guo Yang, but he also deceived him about certain matters. He boldly speculated that Liu Yiyi would surely die as well. This time, Guo Yongjia's motive for murder was not because of Yan Shanshan but because he truly hated Guo Yang for living a happier life than him! Moreover, Guo Yongjia had a grand conspiracy: Ghost Pregnancy!
