Chapter 140

~8 min read 1,414 words

Looking at the sofa again, a monkey crawled out from the human skin and bared its fangs and brandished its claws at Huang Qingyu, letting out a strange cry.

Lin Yu's expression was as gloomy as water; he protected Huang Qingyu behind him, and with a few flashes of silver light, several silver needles flew toward the monkey on the sofa.

However, the monkey was exceptionally agile, easily dodging the attack and jumping onto Huapiao Chuyi's head.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Yu quickly explained the concept of "Demon Corpse Tailor" to Huang Qingyu.

"In the Neon Country, Demon Corpse Tailors are mysterious figures who use cursed objects to make specimens of legendary creatures.

The specimens of mermaids, kappas, and dragons treasured in temples are all their masterpieces. But behind these works, they are often accompanied by extremely cruel processes; the materials they use are people tortured to death."

Huapiao Chuyi laughed mockingly, "I truly didn't expect a Huaxia person to know so much about the Neon Country's Onmyoji world."

As he spoke, he slowly retreated, seemingly intending to slip away from the back door.

And at this time, Huang Qingyu was already on the verge of a breakdown; filled with burning anger, he tried to rush forward several times, but was stopped by Lin Yu.

"I am going to kill you." Following a roar, the sound of gunfire rang out.

No one expected that Huang Qingyu, in his anger, would actually pull out a handgun and fire several shots at Huapiao Chuyi.

Lin Yu only then realized the reason Huang Qingyu carried a gun with him; considering his military background, this was not surprising.

After being hit, Huapiao Chuyi looked at them in surprise, then fell straight down.

The monkey jumped onto his chest and let out a sharp cry.

With a bang, the monkey was also shot and killed by Huang Qingyu.

Subsequently, he said to Lin Yu: "Many thanks to Master for the reminder, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark."

Lin Yu noticed that although Huapiao Chuyi had died, from the Heavenly Eye, the light around his corpse had not dissipated; only that monkey was truly dead.

At this time, the villa was filled with the stench of rotting flesh, making one feel disgusted.

Huang Qingyu endured the nausea and asked Lin Yu how he discovered the truth.

Lin Yu answered coldly: "People have the appearance of people; when I saw that 'child,' I knew it was just a beast in human skin. And the reason you didn't notice it was because this monkey was wearing your son's skin."

Hearing this, Huang Qingyu completely collapsed, discovering the true remains of his son on the sofa; the birthmark on it made him unable to deny the cruel fact.

"I will not be a gentleman if I don't take this revenge; I swear that there will be no place for Neon Country enterprises in Qingzhou, and all the Neon Country people here won't be able to leave Huaxia alive; they must be buried with my family."

After speaking, he changed another magazine and fired wildly at Huapiao Chuyi's corpse until the bullets were exhausted.

Finally, Lin Yu confirmed that Huapiao Chuyi was truly dead, but Huang Qingyu still couldn't vent his hatred, fiercely trampling his head until it was deformed.

Finally, Huang Qingyu turned to Lin Yu and pleaded: "Master Lin, please help me find the remains of my wife and child, I beg you."

Lin Yu sighed deeply, his gaze falling on the place in the depths of the house where thick black mist permeated, and stepped forward without hesitation.

When he pushed open the door of the utility room, an exquisite angel doll came into view, and the doll was also holding a small angel in its arms.

Lin Yu stared at this lifelike work and turned to Huang Qingyu: "This is them."

Hearing this, Huang Qingyu was shocked and knelt to the ground; endless grief instantly shrouded his whole body, as if even his breathing had been stripped away, making him unable to even cry.

In the investment banking world, Huang Qingyu was known as a playboy; who would have expected that he also had such a deep side?

What was even more unexpected was that his image in the outside world was the result of deliberate shaping.

Neighbors reported to the police after hearing the gunshots, and the public security bureau quickly sent people to investigate.

Yang Yuhua saw Lin Yu, carefully asked about the course of the incident, and noticed the angel doll in the utility room.

Finally, the examination results showed that the large angel doll contained a complete skeleton of a woman, while the small angel doll contained the skeleton of a child.

This extremely cruel practice—skinning, cutting flesh, and removing bones—is usually a punishment imposed on the most heinous people.

Huang Qingyu never expected that this would happen to the two people he loved most.

At this time, the police discovered several bags of frozen meat sauce in the kitchen, and a human fingernail could clearly be seen in one of the bags.

After completing the transcript, due to his special status, Huang Qingyu was only placed under residential surveillance.

Lin Yu, sitting in the police car, felt heavy in his heart; he finally understood why the two teachers chose to "draw a circle as a prison" and hold the last bottom line of Miao Street.

Because once the enemy makes a move, it is often too late to react, and one might not even notice the existence of the threat.

Just as Lin Yu was lost in thought, the phone rang; it was Huang Qingyu: "Thank you, Master Lin, for helping me take revenge for my wife and child; may I ask how I should repay you?"

Recalling the desperate look in Zhang Yuru's eyes when she left, Lin Yu answered: "I am not interested in money, nor do I need your reward. If you really want to do something, help my ex-wife Zhang Yuru! But don't say it's my request when you help."

After speaking, he hung up the phone and looked out the window; the police car had arrived at Miao Street.

Miao Street was full of muck trucks, and there were people searching for possible treasures in houses that had not yet been demolished.

Those people heard that there were antiques hidden in the old houses of Miao Street and came specifically to try their luck.

But in reality, where were there any missed treasures to pick up? Precious items in the homes had long been taken away during the move.

Lin Yu noticed a family hiring transport vehicles specifically to move two stone lions at the door that were at least two hundred years old.

The police car stopped in front of Zhongcaotang; Lin Yu asked Yang Yuhua: "Do you know why Third Aunt went back?"

Yang Yuhua frowned and said: "Several fake Taoist priests from the Neon Country went to Maoshan, and my mother went back to preside over the overall situation. By the way, regarding Huang Qingyu's matter, the superiors told me not to make it public and specifically notified you. I have to go."

Lin Yu waved his hand and turned to walk toward Zhongcaotang, but suddenly turned back and shouted at the police car: "Hey, by the way, can you send people to patrol Miao Street tonight?"

Yang Yuhua stopped the car, poked his head out, and asked in confusion: "Isn't Miao Street already demolished? It's a bit illogical to send people to patrol again."

Lin Yu pointed to the direction of Maiyi Lane and Genyue Courtyard and said: "You arrived at the scene yesterday, so you should know what happened there."

Hearing this, Yang Yuhua looked carefully at that direction, then understood and said:

"Alright, I will lead people there personally. I don't think those Neon Country people will choose to make trouble at this time. After all, Miao Street has already been demolished, and their goal has been achieved; what other excuses could they have."

Before he could finish, Lin Yu interrupted: "You don't want to see another tragedy like Huang Qingyu's happen again, do you?"

This sentence made Yang Yuhua's expression turn gloomy instantly, and the anger in his heart surged.

At the same time, Zhang Yuru received a call from Huang Qingyu, who went straight to the point and expressed his desire to invest in her new company.
