"Miss, do you know about your boyfriend's infidelity?"
The emotions were incredibly subtle; others might not have noticed, but Yao Yao saw them clearly.
Her counter-question immediately made the Client's Grandmother, watching from beside the camera, widen her clouded eyes, followed by a surge of furious indignation.
Her precious granddaughter actually knew that pretty boy was unfaithful, and she was still with him? How foolish!
At this, she was so incensed she wished she could come back to life to properly knock some sense into that muddled girl.
But the next moment, her precious granddaughter's explanation calmed her down.
"I only realized something was wrong after Grandma passed away..."
Perhaps it was because Grandma was nearby; though she couldn't see her, it didn't hinder her emotions. The Client, already feeling distressed, had no one to confide in after her closest relative's death, and now it was all brought to the surface.
Initially, during the honeymoon phase, she felt her boyfriend was perfect in every way. However, after her grandmother's sudden passing, a large part of which was due to the turmoil caused by her relationship, a rift began to form in her heart towards her boyfriend.
Therefore, she had been avoiding him and not meeting him during this period. In solitude, she slowly sobered up from the daze of infatuation.
During this time, her boyfriend sent messages again and again, seemingly as caring as before, but for some reason, the more she read them, the more uncomfortable she felt.
She truly couldn't overcome this hurdle. She planned to talk to her boyfriend about a cooling-off period, but then she found a woman's fake eyelashes at his place.
She knew that when she did her makeup, she never used heavy cosmetic products, so she never owned anything like fake eyelashes. That could only mean another woman had been to her boyfriend's apartment. What this implied, she, even with limited dating experience, couldn't possibly not know. Especially after she subtly probed him, his answers directly confirmed her suspicions.
She understood her boyfriend's persistence; trying to break up with him face-to-face would undoubtedly lead to a messy, unpleasant scene.
Furthermore, she had severe emotional fastidiousness. The thought that the boyfriend she had defied her family to be with had been intimate with another woman precisely when she had lost her closest relative and was at her most vulnerable, filled her with overwhelming nausea.
"I broke up with him via text message, but he disagreed and insisted on meeting to talk."
"But then something unexpected happened at the company, and I couldn't get away, so I kept putting it off. Now that I have some free time, I'm ready to resolve this."
She actually felt guilty inside. Grandma had tried so hard to persuade her, but she had stubbornly refused to listen. Now that she had come to her senses, it wasn't too late. She was just afraid that Grandma would be worried about her in the afterlife, and she hadn't expected Grandma to be right by her side.
Her voice trembled as she asked, "Master, can I see my Grandma?" This was her selfish wish, for who wouldn't want to see a beloved relative if they were right there?
"Little one, this old woman also wants to talk to this stubborn child for a while. Can you help this old woman?"
The Client's Grandmother also looked over expectantly. Her death had been so sudden, and she hadn't had time to say many things. As a wandering spirit, the First Seven Days after death is generally the only time the deceased can return to the mortal realm without waiting for the Gates of Hell to fully open.
Moreover, she was different from other spirits. With the accumulation of merit, it was destined that once the First Seven Days passed, she would have to undergo reincarnation after descending to the Underworld. This was truly the last chance for the grandmother and granddaughter to see each other.
"It's possible, yes, but before that, Miss, you should call the police first!" Yao Yao said slowly.
"Why?" The Client was stunned. She was just breaking up with someone; how did that involve the police?
The Client's Grandmother also looked over, bewildered. She wondered if that boy had committed some crime? "Indeed, he's no good!"
"It's very simple. Your grandmother's death was orchestrated by him."
Yao Yao's large, dark eyes blinked. She had noticed earlier that the Client's Grandmother shouldn't have died so soon. However, the Client's entrance had interrupted her thoughts, and now that her train of thought had returned, she subconsciously performed a deduction.
The result of this calculation revealed that the Client's Grandmother had been murdered, and the person who killed her had a conflict of interest with her granddaughter. Coincidentally, the Client's Grandmother had always opposed her granddaughter's marriage, so even without seeing the boyfriend, Yao Yao could easily deduce that he was the mastermind.
"This... this... how is that possible? There were so many doctors and nurses in the hospital. How could he have done it?"
The Client subconsciously refuted. In her view, her boyfriend's infidelity was a fact, but this was murder! But seeing the Master's serious gaze, she wavered. She had watched so many streams, and not a single judgment had been wrong. Her heart sank to rock bottom, and the latter half of her sentence trailed off, involuntarily choked.
Yao Yao, seeing her reaction, knew that what the Client needed wasn't an explanation, but the truth. Although it was cruel, murder demanded a life for a life, and she had to reveal the truth.
"It's very simple. The person he was cheating with was the nurse who was caring for your grandmother in the hospital. And he didn't use any forbidden drugs."
"Your grandmother was elderly and had many underlying health issues. The properties of medicines interact and counteract each other. If the prescription is incorrect, sometimes it doesn't just fail to treat the illness; it can even take a life."
Among the Five Arts of Taoist Metaphysics—Mountain, Medicine, Destiny, Physiognomy, and Divination—Yao Yao had read countless texts on each, and she was very clear on the terrifying potential of the 'Medicine' aspect when truly used to harm.
"Damn him, he... he truly deserves to die!"
The Client's eyes instantly reddened, and then rage surged in her heart. Once she accepted it, the motive became clear. The latter's motive for doing this was undoubtedly her grandmother's obstruction of her marriage to him.
Given her respect for her grandmother, if she truly disagreed, she wouldn't have gone against her wishes. She had made this attitude clear to him, and he had said he would work hard to gain her grandmother's approval. Was this how he gained approval?
The netizens were also shocked, their worldviews shattered.
[This guy is truly something else!]
[Indeed, murder and greed never come alone.]
[Some things are truly chilling to the bone upon closer thought. If the Client's Grandmother hadn't returned today and stumbled upon Master's livestream, wouldn't that murderer have gotten away with it scot-free?]
[If he had been a little more patient, he might even have married the Client and taken all the Client's Grandmother's lifelong savings.]
[Oh my god, just thinking about it makes my fists clench tight. This is enough to make me turn in my grave, no matter who it is! Die, scumbag!]
"How to handle it, I believe you already know in your heart, Miss. Yao Yao won't say much more."
"A little later, Miss, please send me a private message with your address. I'll send you a talisman. After you stick it on, you and your grandmother will be able to see each other!"
Yao Yao could tell from the Client's facial features that she wasn't a spineless person; on the contrary, her abilities and methods were strong. Her only weakness was her emotions.
However, after this incident, that problem would no longer exist. In the future, she would not only adeptly take over the family's businesses but, in time, would even make them flourish and prosper under her stewardship. All along, it was the Client's Grandmother herself who had merely thought the child hadn't grown up yet.
Yao Yao was willing to give the talisman also because she wanted the Client and her grandmother to resolve their mutual concerns. Moreover, those who aid people through merit should be able to pass on without burdens or hindrances, without regrets.
