As everyone found themselves at a loss with the grandmother, Jiajia's Mother stepped forward. 0
 
Taking a deep breath, as if gathering all her strength, she declared loudly, "Li Cuihua, haven't you always wanted a grandson? Let me tell you, that's impossible. Jiajia's father was injured years ago and can no longer have children. Jiajia is our only child, yet you..." 0
 
The moment those words left her lips, the courtroom fell silent; one could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared in shock at Jiajia's Mother, their mouths agape. 0
 
Upon hearing this, the grandmother's face drained of color in an instant, turning pale as she collapsed to the ground. 0
 
Her eyes shifted from cunning to despair in a heartbeat. Tears streamed down her face like a flood breaking through a dam as she trembled and muttered to herself, "I was wrong; how could I be so foolish..." 0
 
In the audience, Jiajia's Father initially stood frozen, as if under a spell. 0
 
Before long, his eyes turned red with rage. He suddenly charged at Grandma Li, shouting, "How could you do this!" 0
 
Before anyone could intervene, he grabbed Grandma Li by the collar with such force that it seemed he might lift her off the ground. 0
 
In the chaos, Grandma Li slipped and fell with a thud. Although she did not lose her life from the fall, she suffered a stroke and became paralyzed, lying on the ground with despair and regret etched in her eyes. 0
 
Jiajia's Father could not accept that his daughter had been harmed by his own mother, who had now become paralyzed due to his impulsive actions. 0
 
The immense blow drove him to madness. In a state of delirium one day, he ran into the street and was tragically struck by a car. 0
 
Fortunately, the driver had insurance and compensated Jiajia's Mother with hundreds of thousands. 0
 
 
Jiajia's Mother divided the money into three parts. 0
 
One portion was kept for herself to sustain her living; another was given to the paralyzed Grandma Li, whom she had taken to her old house in the countryside. She specifically found someone from the village who had a grudge against Grandma Li to take care of her, offering a very low wage as a form of punishment. 0
 
The last portion she brought to my home, along with the house purchase contract. 0
 
She handed me the money and the contract, her eyes filled with earnestness. "This is for the house. I can't thank you enough, and I also want to ask you for a favor." 0
 
"I’ve read your novel and know you have the ability. Could you help me see my daughter's soul? I miss her so much." 0
 
I took the bag from her, feeling a wave of emotions. Looking at her weathered and haggard face, I nodded. 0
 
Using my spiritual abilities, I helped her meet Jiajia. 0
 
I saw Jiajia's soul enter her mother's embrace, calling out "Mom" before slowly dissipating. 0
 
I told Jiajia's Mother that Jiajia had been reincarnated. 0
 
Overcome with grief, she asked me, "What can I do to ensure Jiajia has a better life in her next one?" 0
 
I gently replied, "In Jiajia's name, do more charity." With tears in her eyes, Jiajia's Mother agreed. 0
 
After this incident, I realized that ghosts are not the scariest thing; the human heart is far more terrifying. My fear of ghosts has lessened significantly since then. 0
 
 
Not long after, the police came to find me. They had learned of my unique abilities through this case and hoped I could serve as a consultant to assist them in solving it. 0
 
To my surprise, I wasn't labeled as superstitious; instead, I was recognized by the state. Without a second thought, I agreed. 0
 
I mean, come on, clinging to the leg of the state is bound to bring good fortune to my Lin family's ancestors! 0
 
Of course, I was also eager to unveil the truth behind those cases and see justice served. 0
