Chapter 324: Fu Jin's True Identity, Minmin's Confession

Chapter 324: Fu Jin's True Identity, Minmin's Confession Qin Ruan ignored the intense killing intent Minmin directed towards her and calmly asked, "Why did you turn yourself in today?" This time, Minmin didn't refuse to answer and said, "Someone told me I could find Han Kexin here." Qin Ruan asked, "Who?" Minmin pressed her lips together and remained silent. Qin Ruan continued, "Since you killed Han Kexin, why didn't you dispose of her on the spot last night?" Hostility was evident in Minmin's eyes, and Qin Ruan's words had touched her limit. She replied with a gloomy expression, "It's none of your business!" "Shall I take a guess?" Qin Ruan smirked. She walked towards Minmin and spoke slowly, "From the crime scene last night, it seems that there is more than one culprit responsible for killing both Han Xian and Han Kexin. I only see one life burden on you, which means you killed one of them. So, who killed the other?" Minmin's eyes flickered, revealing a clear panic on her pale face. But she still denied it firmly, saying, "There's only me, no one else!" Qin Ruan smiled, "I didn't say your accomplice is a person. Maybe it's another abomination like you, half-ghost, half-demon." "You're tricking me?!" Minmin became angry. "No, I'm just making deductions, and you let something slip." Qin Ruan's gaze shifted towards Han Xian and Han Kexin, who had regained her soul. "Do you both remember who Minmin's other accomplice is?" Han Kexin's face turned ferocious, exuding a strong resentment with faint signs of transforming into a fierce puppet. She said word by word, "It's Fu Jin!" "Fu... Jin?" Qin Ruan pronounced the name slowly, with a complex and deep meaning in her words. Han Kexin's eyes emitted a dazzling red light, which was quite intimidating. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! That man approached me with a purpose. He and Minmin are allies! They're not human!" "Fu Jin? That name sounds familiar." Lu Han frowned and spoke up. Qin Ruan turned back and smiled, "The Fu family in the south, the third young master of the Fu family." "Yes, that's him. Fu Jin has come to the capital?" Lu Han looked somewhat surprised. Lu Han came from one of the four major families and had some knowledge of the Fu family in the south. He had also heard about the mystery surrounding the third young master of the Fu family. Qin Ruan shrugged, "Who knows? That's something you should ask Minmin." She stared at Minmin, hoping to extract an answer from her. Minmin sneered, "If you want to know, go find out for yourselves." Qin Ruan raised an eyebrow and spoke with certainty, "That person isn't Fu Jin." "Hmph!" Minmin coldly snorted, turning her head away. Qin Ruan narrowed her eyes, a pensive expression on her face. Wei Xishi mentioned multiple times in the group chat that the man with Han Kexin is not Fu Jin. At the moment, Minmin's panicked expression disappeared when she heard Fu Jin, indicating that the man indeed wasn't Fu Jin. So, who exactly is impersonating Young Master Fu and deliberately getting close to Han Kexin while entangling with Minmin? Master Huichen was invited to the Fu family's residence. How is Fu's eldest son involved with them again? Qin Ruan felt that this relationship was too chaotic, leaving her completely puzzled for a moment. She took out her phone from her pocket, opened WeChat, and found the WeChat group named "Emperor Beitaishang." It displayed nearly a hundred messages inside. Qin Ruan glanced at them briefly and learned that the issue with Young Master Fu had already been resolved. He caught the attention of a lustful female puppet, and Qiao Nanyuan and Master Huichen intervened this morning, helping Young Master Fu escape the ghost entanglement. Young Master Fu was also unlucky. He accidentally fell on a grave mound that had not been repaired for years and was almost level with the ground during the ancestral ceremony. Coincidentally, the owner of that grave mound took a liking to Young Master Fu and wanted him to become her ideal husband. If Master Huichen and Qiao Nanyuan had arrived a day later, it's likely the ghost would have succeeded, which would have made things much more complicated to resolve. With the Fu family's matter resolved, Master Huichen was already on his way back to the capital. Qin Ruan opened a private chat with Qiao Nanyuan. [Uncle Qiao, did you see Young Master Fu at the Fu family this morning?] Qiao Nanyuan was online, and as soon as Qin Ruan sent the message, it showed that he was typing a response. [No, but I saw photos of Young Master Fu and the Fu family, a family photo from his childhood.] Qin Ruan lightly tapped the screen of her phone. After pondering for a moment, she opened her phone's photo album and found the photos that Huo Chuan had sent her last night. The person in the photos was the man who claimed to be Fu Jin and was with Han Kexin. Qin Ruan: [Image] [Uncle Qiao, is this person the adult Fu Jin?] Qin Ruan sent the photo and asked. Qiao Nanyuan quickly replied from the other side. [No, he's not. I just calculated it, and this person should be dead.] When Qin Ruan read these words, her exquisite eyes widened slightly. She suddenly looked up and stared at Minmin's stubbornly pale face. Qin Ruan walked over to Minmin and showed her the photo displayed on her phone. "This person should be your companion. Did he kill someone for you last night?" Minmin stared at the photo on the phone and Qiao Nanyuan's reply to Qin Ruan's question. Black mist began to appear in her eyes, and her lips trembled as she said, "No! This can't be true! How could he be dead?!" Qin Ruan locked her gaze onto Minmin's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I encountered a Taoist like you before, who sacrificed themselves to demons. The aura on that person was similar to yours. I want to know how you came into contact with those monsters. I have other ways to find out, but I don't want to harm you. The pain experienced during soul-searching would make you wish for death. Minmin, it's best if you tell me everything Qin Ruan frowned, ''Isn't he your companion?'' ''I deceived him. He is just an ordinary person. I only wanted to remove the talisman from Han Kexin's body through him, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to get close to her, let alone seek revenge.'' Qin Ruan's face turned serious. ''For the sake of revenge, you involved an innocent human being, and you might even cause harm or death to him. Then, what sets you apart from Han Kexin?'' Once humans get entangled with demonic entities, it will inevitably affect their fate. They could become physically weak or even lose their lives. That man named Ajin is most likely dead by now. ''Where did he go after you killed someone last night?'' ''He was injured by Han Xian and I took him to a clinic.'' ''Which clinic?'' It was Lu Han who asked this question, realizing the gravity of the situation. Minmin reported the name of a black clinic, and Lu Han left the interrogation room without looking back. ''I'll send someone to check the situation.'' Qin Ruan narrowed her eyebrows, not agreeing, as she stared at Minmin. ''I can understand your desire for revenge. Even if you kill Han Kexin and Han Xian, it can be justified to some extent, given the deep hatred you bear. But why did you involve other people? Do you know that the malevolence in you is more harmful than the ghosts?'' Minmin broke down emotionally, covering her face and sobbing, ''I don't know, I just wanted to seek revenge on Han Kexin. I didn't know he was so foolish to stand in front of me and take the blow. How could I be injured like this? He's just a fool, a big fool!'' ''You don't seem very intelligent either,'' Qin Ruan's voice was cold. Minmin whimpered softly, unable to control her emotions. On the other hand, Han Xian and Han Kexin, the mother-daughter duo, wore smug expressions on their faces. Seeing their expressions, Qin Ruan's eyes filled with disgust. For Minmin, she felt nothing but pity. She not only carried the burden of taking a life but also the possibility of causing harm to someone who had been kind to her. Such karmic consequences wouldn't bode well in the afterlife. Once Minmin's emotions stabilized, Qin Ruan asked, ''How did you meet that Ajin?'' Minmin looked up, her eyes red. ''After making a deal with the demon, I returned to the capital city seeking revenge on Han Kexin. On the same night, I met Ajin. He is a swindler by profession, but he has a kind heart...'' Upon hearing this, Qin Ruan couldn't help but curl her lips. Well, well, a swindler with a kind heart? This sentence sounds so ridiculous when she hears it. Minmin: "I had a chance encounter with Ajin in Nanmian. I was tormented by those villains, and he used to be my... well, a customer. But after he found out that my brother was an undercover agent, he didn't touch me. That day, with his company, I finally managed to get a peaceful sleep. After a few months, when I came back to seek revenge against Han Kexin, I realized that I couldn't even get close to her and discovered that Ajin was actually with her. Ajin pretended to be a member of a certain family and wanted to make some gains from Han Kexin. My desire to kill Han Kexin was strong, so I had no choice but to approach him and make him find a way to remove the jade Guanyin from Han Kexin's neck..." "So, it was all your plan!" Upon hearing this, Han Kexin, who was not far away, immediately became angry. That day, when she went out to meet Yan En, Fu Jin, no, that man named Ajin, asked her to remove the jade Guanyin from her neck, saying something about women not wearing such things during the lunar full moon. She actually believed the other person's words and actually took off the Jade Guanyin. She lost her life that same night. Minmin stared at Han Kexin with a gloomy expression, her tone fierce and her face ferocious. "You can never repay the debt of my brother's death. Because of you, his years of undercover work were ruined, and many teammates were killed. You deserve to die!" Han Kexin retorted, "Don't I want to live too? Did I do something wrong?" "You did! You did something terribly wrong! When those people came after you, you shouldn't have remained silent! My brother died because I knew a selfish and malicious woman like you. I deserve to be caught myself! But do you know how many innocent people died because you posted my brother's photo online? Twelve lives, including mine, thirteen in total. How can you still justify yourself? You say you want to live, don't they want to live too? They also have families, they also want to live, but you didn't give them a chance. If you had spoken up, they wouldn't have had to sacrifice themselves!" Han Kexin wanted to argue back, "I..." "Shut up!" Qin Ru'an impatiently interrupted her from speaking. She turned to look at Minmin and asked, "Since you made a deal with the demons, why didn't the people from Nanxian take action to resolve it?" If Minmin had killed those villains, she couldn't have only taken one life. (End of this chapter)
