Chapter 14: She Felt Her Grandson Was Not Worthy of Her Jin’er

Shen Chujin looked at Zhong Gui, slightly frowning.

“Did your daughter get into trouble?”

At these words, Zhong Gui’s eyes suddenly widened.

The young madam really knew about it!

He really hadn’t come to the wrong person!

“Yes, yes! Yesterday after I brought her home, she seemed fine, but today she went up to the rooftop again. If the neighbors hadn’t found her and called the police, she would have been gone.”

As he spoke, Zhong Gui’s eyes turned red.

He really couldn’t imagine what he would do if his daughter really jumped off the building.

“What exactly happened?” The elderly lady was confused after listening for a while.

Only then did Zhong Gui briefly explain the whole situation.

Yesterday, after he dropped Shen Chujin off at the Civil Affairs Bureau and then to the old street, Shen Chujin told him that his daughter, Xiao Hui, was in trouble and urged him to call her immediately or else she would die.

At first, he didn’t believe it, but after making the call, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Because the facts were exactly as Shen Chujin had said!

He hurriedly drove over and brought his daughter back home.

His daughter’s mood had initially stabilized and she even said she wanted to eat something nice that evening.

Seeing his daughter taking a nap, he asked his wife to watch her at home while he went to the market to buy lots of food to cook his daughter’s favorite dishes.

During this time, his wife had stomach pain and went to the bathroom once.

But in that brief moment, unexpectedly, their daughter sneaked out.

His wife called him crying, saying their daughter was missing.

He rushed back home without even bringing the groceries.

When he arrived, the crowd was already gathered downstairs, and a police car was parked there.

His heart jumped into his throat as he hurried up to the rooftop.

Sure enough, his daughter was standing at the edge of the rooftop.

At the moment he arrived, his daughter was about to jump, but luckily the police stopped her.

At that time, he was so scared his legs went weak.

With the help of the police, they brought their daughter back home, but as she sat there, she kept getting up—either walking toward the window or heading for the door.

She looked as if she was lost in a trance.

“So you suspect Xiao Hui is possessed?” the elderly lady asked.

Zhong Gui nodded.

“Then why don’t you go find a master? Why are you asking Jin’er?” the elderly lady was puzzled.

Zhong Gui said nothing and looked at Shen Chujin.

The elderly lady was surprised. “You don’t really think Jin’er can help you, do you?”

Zhong Gui nodded again.

The elderly lady wanted to say that her Jin’er didn’t know anything about those things. When she picked her granddaughter-in-law, no matter how much she liked someone, she would never let her grandson marry without investigating first.

She had people secretly look into it.

Shen Chujin was born into the Shen family of the imperial capital.

The Shen family started in the catering business and was one of the top in the industry.

Compared to the super-rich Shi family, it wasn’t quite as impressive, but it was still much better than an ordinary family.

Shen Chujin was not the Shen family’s biological daughter. Five years ago, after the Shen family’s biological daughter, Shen Chuhan, returned, Shen Chujin’s position in the family became very awkward.

Since then, whenever there was an important occasion, Shen Chuhan would appear, and Shen Chujin seemed to be forgotten.

A few days ago, Shen Chujin suddenly moved out of the Shen family and rented a single apartment by herself, officially cutting ties with the Shen family.

According to the information investigated, Shen Chujin had always been very well-behaved. Apart from school, she just went home—no bad habits.

Her grades were among the top in her class.

There was no news of her knowing fortune-telling or exorcism.

So Zhong Gui must have come to the wrong person.

Because Zhong Gui usually worked diligently, the elderly lady was about to ask her old sisters if they knew any skilled masters she could recommend.

Although she didn’t really believe in such things, many people in wealthy families did.

But before she could speak, Shen Chujin asked Zhong Gui, “Where is your daughter?”

Realizing Shen Chujin wanted to help, Zhong Gui nearly cried with joy.

Actually, he wasn’t sure if Shen Chujin could really help his daughter.

But for some reason, when he thought about seeking help, the first person who came to his mind was Shen Chujin.

Probably because Shen Chujin was able to see right away what was wrong with his daughter.

He said excitedly, “She’s in the car over there!”

Knowing that Shen Chujin was going to the Shi family for dinner tonight, he brought his daughter along when he came.

His daughter was now sitting in the back seat of the car with his wife.

“Take me there,” Shen Chujin said.

“Okay!”

Zhong Gui hurried ahead to lead the way.

The elderly lady and Madam Zhang exchanged a glance, both curious, and followed closely.

Zhong Gui ran forward and helped his daughter out of the car.

Saying “helped” because his daughter’s hands and feet were tied.

He awkwardly explained, “If she’s not tied up, she… will run away.”

Shen Chujin understood.

Although she only glanced at Zhong Xiaohui, she already knew what was going on.

This Zhong Xiaohui was possessed by a spirit!

Shen Chujin calmly glanced at Zhong Xiaohui and asked, “Did you come out on your own, or did I force you out?”

The elderly lady and the others were puzzled.

Come out?

Come out from where?

Zhong Xiaohui was standing right there, wasn’t she?

Just as everyone was confused, Zhong Xiaohui suddenly let out a low, strange laugh.

“Hehehehe…”

Her head was bowed, making it hard to see her expression.

The laughter sounded odd, as if it was stuck in her throat.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and stared straight at Shen Chujin, speaking sinisterly, “Mind your own business!”

As soon as the words fell, Zhong Gui’s wife suddenly lunged at Shen Chujin without any warning.

Meanwhile, Zhong Xiaohui seemed as if her soul had been pulled out, she collapsed softly onto the ground, unconscious.

Everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events.

The elderly lady was even more worried, shouting, “Jin’er, be careful!”

But the expected scene of Shen Chujin being tackled never happened.

Instead, Shen Chujin pulled out a bright yellow talisman and threw it just as Zhong Gui’s wife was about to pounce.

A sharp, piercing scream instantly rang out.

In the next second, Zhong Gui’s wife collapsed.

Shen Chujin did not stop, her slender figure moved quickly, as if fighting with the air itself.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, Zhong Gui and the others would have thought they were hallucinating.

It was hard to imagine that the delicate and gentle Shen Chujin could move so skillfully — her swift movements were like a ghost, agile and filled with deadly energy.

Within just a few seconds, Shen Chujin subdued the evil spirit.

Her spiritual power couldn’t last long now, so she had to finish the fight quickly.

With a piercing, mournful scream, a faint ghostly figure slowly appeared.

It was a disheveled female ghost.

In that instant, the elderly lady, Madam Wang, and Zhong Gui all froze as if petrified, their eyes full of disbelief.

“There really… really is a ghost!” Zhong Gui stammered.

He hadn’t expected that his daughter’s body really was possessed by a ghost!

Shen Chujin took out another talisman and struck the female ghost directly, ruthless and decisive.

This ghost had harmed many people and deserved no mercy.

Such a ghost was unworthy of reincarnation and deserved only to be reduced to ashes!

Seeing the ghost being beaten until it was completely destroyed, the elderly lady’s eyes brightened slightly.

Her granddaughter-in-law actually knew how to exorcise ghosts!

So impressive!

Damn, why did she suddenly feel that that brat Shi Yi wasn’t quite good enough for her Jin’er?
