Chapter 695: To Tell the Truth

"That's not true, Mr. Chen. Although Yanyan can be a bit willful at times, she isn't bad; she hasn't done anything bad," Wu Junyue said, panicking slightly as she saw the serious look on Chen Yu's face.

Her daughter's behavior was extremely abnormal. The psychological expert brought in yesterday couldn't even get her to be quiet using deep hypnosis. She kept self-harming, and later, the Zhang Family had no choice but to tie her up with ropes to stop her.

Now that Chen Yu was speaking so seriously, she began to panic.

"How could my granddaughter do anything bad? Who exactly are you, kid? Do you even know how to practice medicine? If you don't, get out immediately," Zhang Laotou, who was sitting on the sofa below, roared before Zhang Zheng could speak.

He sat up from the sofa, ran upstairs, and shouted, "My granddaughter has always been very well-behaved; how could she do anything bad? Don't talk nonsense."

"In your eyes, she is well-behaved?" Chen Yu looked at the old man, speechless. Just how much did this old man spoil Zhang Yan?

The Zhang Family was, of course, an Aristocratic Family of officials; every word and action of their descendants outside represented the face of the Zhang Family.

Zhang Yan livestreamed, using all sorts of inexplicable things to grab attention, and on top of that, she dressed like a delinquent, no different from a little hoodlum. In this old man's eyes, who was this kind of Zhang Yan?

"Otherwise? I see you don't know anything either. I don't care what method you used to trick Zhang Peng's trust; get out now. I don't need you to solve this matter," the old man said angrily.

"Heh, she's well-behaved? See for yourself." Chen Yu pointed at the door. The spot where he had pressed earlier now showed a bloody palm print.

Moreover, blood was continuously seeping out from within that handprint, and it had already flowed down the door to the floor, staining the ground a bright red.

A stench of blood wafted from the floor; this was genuine, real blood.

Everyone in the Zhang Family was stunned. Zhang Peng hurriedly asked, "Mr. Chen, please don't be angry. What is going on?"

"The cause of this situation is 'Grudge Spirit Claiming Life'. Zhang Yan must have done something that angered both heaven and man, which is why a wronged soul that died unjustly has come to find her," Chen Yu said. "If she hadn't done anything bad, this situation would be impossible."

"Grudge Spirit Claiming Life—there must be someone who died unjustly whose resentment has not dissipated, and they have come to seek revenge on her. She must bear the consequences of the evil she committed herself."

"Zhang Peng, I'm afraid I'm powerless in this matter. You should seek someone more capable," Chen Yu said sharply.

"Don't, Chen Yu, don't leave. If you leave, what will happen to Yanyan? Mom, Dad, do you know what Yanyan actually did?" Zhang Peng said anxiously. "At a time like this, just tell the truth. The trouble Zhang Yan has caused this time is not small."

Zhang Laotou was also stunned. Looking at the blood on the floor, he couldn't say a word.

Zhang Zheng and Wu Junyue were also dumbfounded, but the two of them truly did not know what had happened.

"Mr. Chen, we really don't know what she did. Although she is willful, our family upbringing is very strict; it's impossible for her to have done anything that would anger both heaven and man," Wu Junyue said anxiously. "How about we go and ask her?"

"Ask her." A trace of anger appeared on Zhang Laotou's face. "If she really did something bad and caused a death, I will be the first one not to spare her. Spoiling her is one thing, but she cannot use my indulgence to do evil."

"Mr. Chen, please don't be angry. Her consciousness is unclear right now. Can you think of a way to make her sober up so we can ask what happened and see if there's any way to remedy it?" Zhang Zheng said anxiously.

Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly. He took out a Talisman and stuck it on the door. The bloody handprint on the door and the blood flowing on the floor all vanished. Only then did he push the door open and walk in.

The room was in a mess. Zhang Yan's hands and legs were tied with ropes. Seeing someone enter, a look of venomous resentment appeared in her eyes. She roared at them, but because her mouth was stuffed, the sound was muffled.

Chen Yu frowned; the other party's anger was very heavy. He walked up and reached out to remove the cloth stuffed in Zhang Yan's mouth.

As soon as the cloth was removed, Zhang Yan hissed and struggled violently, opening her mouth to bite Chen Yu's arm. Judging by her posture, if that bite had landed, it would likely have torn a chunk of flesh off.

However, before she could bite down, Chen Yu pinched his right hand and slapped a palm print onto Zhang Yan's forehead.

Zhang Yan rolled her eyes and fell to the floor with a thud. Chen Yu traced in the void with his right hand, finally let out a sharp shout, and pointed at Zhang Yan.

Invisible Spiritual Light surged into Zhang Yan's body. The baleful aura in Zhang Yan's eyes finally vanished, and a bit of clarity returned to her gaze.

"Dad, Mom, Big Brother, Grandpa, save me!" Zhang Yan burst into tears on the floor.

Her feeling just now was that, Mingming her consciousness was there, but she just couldn't control her own body. She had scratched herself until she was covered in blood and used scissors to stab herself; she was actually aware of the pain.

But she just couldn't control herself. She could only watch helplessly as she grabbed the scissors and stabbed herself, until finally, she was tied up tightly.

"Yanyan, what happened to you? Tell us quickly." Wu Junyue anxiously stepped forward to help her up.

"I, I don't know, I really don't know. Mom, save me, I don't want to die," Zhang Yan screamed in terror.

"Shut up." Zhang Laotou walked up a few steps and shouted, "Tell me, what have you done recently to provoke such a vicious thing to come to the door for revenge?"

"Grandpa, I didn't, I really didn't," Zhang Yan screamed in panic.

"Are you going to tell me or not?" Zhang Laotou turned and grabbed his cane, shouting angrily, "If you dare not to tell me, I will beat you to death right now to avoid you ruining the reputation of the Zhang Family! Have you become so arrogant because you've been spoiled all these years that you don't take anyone seriously?"

"Grandpa, don't, I'll tell you, I'll tell you..." Zhang Yan looked at the furious Zhang Lao in terror. She was truly scared this time, and she cried, "I didn't mean to, Grandpa, I really didn't mean to."

"Time is running out. In ten minutes at most, that thing will possess you again. If you don't talk, I won't be able to help you solve this. You'd better talk less nonsense," Chen Yu said coldly.

"Just a few days ago, I went to an absurd, dilapidated temple to livestream. That temple is said to be very sinister. I, a lighting cameraman, and a girl who had just joined the team went there in the middle of the night," Zhang Yan said, trembling.

"Which temple are you talking about? Is it the Guyue Temple that has been widely rumored on the internet recently?" Chen Yu frowned slightly.

"Yes, that's the one," Zhang Yan nodded, her face deathly pale.
