Zhong Kui's Diary
Chukai continued, "To resolve this grudge, besides finding the true culprit behind Uncle Dong's murder, there is another more troublesome matter. According to the agreement made by Jin Manyuan back then, if Father still holds shares of Uncle Li, or if Uncle Li holds shares of Father, the Jin Family will intervene in our affairs based on that agreement."
After a pause, Chukai embraced Li Meng'er in his arms: "Although Jin Manyuan is dead, Jin Zhenzhong still holds 5% of the shares from both our families. If he wants to interfere with my matters, it would be easy for him. Only when both our families return the shares to each other will the Jin Family return our respective shares. In simpler terms, the shares held by the Jin Family are like a Sword of Damocles hanging over both our families, ready to fall at any moment."
At this point, Chukai smiled slightly and glanced at his father: "Dad, there's something I've been keeping from you. The one who brought down Dongfang Xiao's company back then was none other than me."
Chu Cang Hai did not react immediately and murmured to himself, "So it was my misunderstanding of Haifeng..." After repeating it ten times or so, he finally let out a bitter laugh: "I could never understand why Dongfang Xiao's company collapsed so mysteriously. It turns out it was your doing; this truly is a case of the student surpassing the master."
Chukai stuck out his tongue and turned back to me: "After that, I found Dongfang Xiao, clarified the situation, and he immediately agreed to my plan. This led to the occurrence of the Jumping Incident. Now what we need to do is wait for the Jin Family to return the shares to us. At that time, we will settle things with Uncle Li. Meanwhile, both Meng'er and I have made a promise with Dongfang Xiao: as long as the Jin Family returns the shares to us, he will be the new owner of those shares."
At this point, there was no need for further explanation. Chukai, Li Meng'er, and Dongfang Xiao designed this Jumping Incident to resolve the grievances of the previous generation and reclaim the shares of both groups. Honestly, I could understand their concerns; with the rapid development of both groups, it was hard to guarantee that Jin Zhenzhong wouldn't become envious and cause chaos with his shares. That would be a fatal blow to them.
It seemed their plan had already succeeded; as long as they waited for the Jin Family to hand over their shares, it would lead to a happy outcome for everyone. Damn, they were in a good position, but I still had not made any progress in finding Kui.
I frowned slightly: "If the Jin Family hands over their shares, how long will it take?"
Chu Cang Hai had regained his composure and pondered for a moment: "It should take at least ten days or so."
I calculated the time and felt it was a bit tight. I frowned and said, "There's something I need to tell you all, but I must involve others as well. Don't be surprised; I believe once you hear this matter, all grievances will be set aside."
Fatty, hearing this, asked in surprise: "Ghost Brother, are you planning to tell them the truth?"
"There’s no choice; time is running out. Even if it risks being discovered by Kui, we have to speed up," I shook my head with a wry smile.
Chu Cang Hai and others exchanged glances filled with confusion; they did not understand what I meant by Kui but nodded in agreement nonetheless.
An hour later, the conference room of the Star City Public Security Bureau was filled with people. The meeting was chaired by Lingfeng, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee of Star City. Present at the meeting were myself and Fatty, along with guests including Mr. and Mrs. Chu Cang Hai, Chukai, Mr. and Mrs. Li Haifeng, and Li Meng'er. Additionally, special guests included Jin Zhenzhong, Dongfang Xiao, and Lou Wei.
The first agenda item was to publicly announce the grievances between Chu Cang Hai, Li Haifeng, and Dongfang Ao, clarifying that this matter had reached a conclusion. The Jin Family must return their shares according to the agreement to both the Chu Family and the Li Family. Subsequently, both families would strongly support Dongfang Xiao.
Upon hearing this, Li Haifeng stood there in shock, then couldn't help but shed tears. He immediately embraced Chu Cang Hai and cried bitterly. After years of brotherly grievances, they finally reconciled, their old tears flowing freely. After being comforted and separated, they both expressed their desire to closely cooperate in the future to create harmony. Chukai and Li Meng'er also embraced and wept, celebrating that they would no longer have to secretly meet in parks, by the river, or in other hidden places. They also expressed their determination to focus on their relationship and have many children to carry on both families' legacies.
In front of a heavyweight like Lingfeng, Jin Zhenzhong generously promised to return the stocks to both families as soon as possible and vowed to strengthen cooperation moving forward for a win-win situation among the three parties. I knew that with Lingfeng present, Jin Zhenzhong wouldn't dare to play tricks; he was not afraid of Lingfeng's position as the Political and Legal Affairs Committee Secretary but rather of the power of the Ling Family.
During the second agenda item of the meeting, I laid out everything regarding Jin Manyuan and revealed that Jin Manyuan had released the Ten Dark Lords before his death. Initially, Jin Zhenzhong angrily questioned me, but after I presented various pieces of evidence, he was left speechless, staring blankly at the Flower Board. Li Canghai and others were equally astonished, repeatedly exclaiming how powerful Jin Manyuan was, discovering he was actually a Cultivator.
For the third agenda item, I presented my plan. Next, I would work with Lou Wei to further investigate the employees under Li Haifeng. To avoid raising suspicion from Kui, during the investigation period, Li Haifeng and Li Meng'er would temporarily not return home under the pretense of going out for fun, entrusting their business to Jin Zhenzhong for the time being.
After the meeting concluded, Lou Wei conducted a "check-up" on Li Haifeng and his wife as well as Li Meng'er and Dongfang Xiao to ensure nothing was overlooked.
Following this, we began a month-long investigation with Lou Wei. Lou Wei repeatedly suggested eliminating all of Li Haifeng's thousands of subordinates to resolve everything at once, but I never agreed.
A month later, we had thoroughly checked everyone under Haifeng Group. We even investigated those who usually delivered packages or meals to the company. However, it was frustrating that none of them exhibited any signs of magical fluctuations.
Finally, Lou Wei could no longer contain himself and exclaimed angrily, "Time is running out! The only solution is to eliminate these thousands of people. Zhong Zhengnan, even if we don't cooperate with you, I will take action."
I remained silent for a while before finally saying solemnly, "Before making a decision, I still need to ask you one thing: Are you sure Kui is among these thousands?"
"I am absolutely sure!" Lou Wei snorted coldly. "Moreover, I can confirm it is attached to Li Haifeng and not some salesperson or health treatment staff."
"Since that's the case, we've already checked Li Haifeng's subordinates; why can't we find him?" I scratched my head in frustration.
"Kui is best at hiding its tracks. The last time I discovered its connection to Li Haifeng was purely by chance when I sensed its aura," Lou Wei replied with a cold smile. "If it successfully breaks through our defenses, it wouldn't matter much to me; but for you humans, it would be a disaster."
"Uh, Ghost Brother, actually there's one person we haven't checked," Fatty suddenly interjected from the side.
"Who?" Lou Wei and I almost shouted in unison.
"Lin Lin!" Fatty said slowly.
“Didn’t you check Lin Lin? I thought I remembered checking her,” I said in surprise.
“Check? What for? Every time she brings someone in, we check those people, but somehow we always forget about her,” Fatty said with a bitter smile. “Maybe it’s because she’s come in so many times that we subconsciously categorized her as already checked.”
“Right, right! That girl really hasn’t been checked,” Lou Wei chimed in, clapping his hands.
I immediately planned to invite Lin Lin to the foot of Jigong Mountain under the pretense of a field operation. If Lin Lin was indeed possessed by Demon King Kui, a confrontation was inevitable; it would be better to have it at Jigong Mountain than in the city.
After borrowing a car from Lingfeng, we drove to the foot of Jigong Mountain. During a break, I sensed Sugar Doll inside the Mustard Seed Pendant and found him engrossed in playing a Single Player Game. For the past month during this investigation, I had kept Sugar Doll hidden inside the Mustard Seed Pendant, not letting him out. This Ancient Fierce Beast was my trump card, and unless absolutely necessary, I wouldn’t let Lou Wei know about it. Although we were currently on the same side, I still held reservations about his identity as the Dark Overlord.
After waiting for about ten minutes, a taxi sped up, and when Lin Lin got out and saw us, her eyes sparkled with excitement as she smiled and said, “Ghost Brother, Fat Brother, and this big brother, what brings you three here?”
“Nothing much, just wanted to chat about life,” Fatty replied with a grin.
“Where’s Dongfang Xiao?” Lin Lin asked in surprise.
After casually brushing off her question, we led Lin Lin to a patch of grass by the roadside. Lou Wei, not wanting to waste time, directly reached out to grab her shoulder. Seeing this, Lin Lin surprisingly stepped back two quick paces with remarkable agility.
“Wow!” Both Fatty and I exclaimed in shock. We knew very well what kind of person Lin Lin was; her sudden display of such skills could only mean one thing—she had been possessed by the Demon King.
“Qiongqi, what do you mean?” Lin Lin asked, her eyes flashing with a strange golden light.
“Huh?” Lou Wei was taken aback. “Aren’t you Kui?”
“Forget Kui! I’m Yujang!” Lin Lin shouted fiercely. “You can clear your own level; why do you have to interfere with mine?”
Yujang? The monster with a human face and bird body from legends? How could he possess Lin Lin? Wasn’t he supposed to be possessing one of Li Haifeng’s subordinates?
“Whether you’re Yujang or Kui, it doesn’t matter; you’re dead either way. Enough talk; get ready to die!” With a brush in his left hand and an inkstone in his right, Lou Wei activated his spell and charged forward to attack.
Seeing this, I quickly distanced myself from Fatty and took out a cigarette to watch the fight.
"It looks like Qiongqi has the upper hand," Fatty said, exhaling a puff of smoke while pointing at the two people fighting in the arena.
"Of course, he has already broken through the barrier, while Yujang hasn't. If he doesn't have the upper hand, he might as well be dead," I replied with a laugh, then shouted loudly, "Go Qiongqi!"
Fatty also shouted, "Go!" and then chuckled softly, "It would be best if they both took each other out."
I looked at Fatty with disdain. "What's wrong with you? With that kind of mindset, you must be from the evil capitalist society."
Fatty laughed, "Can you share your thoughts then?"
I chuckled heartily, "It would be best if they both took each other out when he is about to deal with the last demon king."
We both burst into strange laughter.
