I have to say, Ouyang Qian knows quite a lot about these little tricks. Since she wants to play, Lin Yi decides to play along with her. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Worried that Ouyang Qian would step on the Bluetooth headset again in a fit of anger, Lin Yi directly said.
"Ouyang Qian, my voice is everywhere, even if you crush everything on the coffee table, I can still produce millions more."
"I want Mrs. Ouyang to be haunted by nightmares, I want her to be responsible for her actions!"
[Ding ding ding, the host has successfully purchased a remote electric shock ball disguised as an egg, paying 100,000 Heavenly Bead Coins, placed inside Mrs. Ouyang’s clothes as per the host’s wish.]
’Mrs. Ouyang, you can’t blame me for this, I really don’t like bullying women, but you won’t shed tears unless you see the coffin, so I need to use some assistive devices.’
How could Ouyang Qian allow her mother to be threatened, she grabbed the red Bluetooth headset on the table and stomped it to the ground.
Without this, Lin Yi would use another, over and over, and the fluctuating sounds nearly drove Mrs. Ouyang to collapse.
Until the eighth Bluetooth headset was smashed, Lin Yi had no choice but to press the button in his hand, activating the electric shock mode.
Almost at the same time, Mrs. Ouyang was gently electrocuted.
Mrs. Ouyang screamed, her entire face twisted in fright, looking extremely ugly.
"Mother, mother, what’s wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Ouyang Qian was also dumbfounded, as if her mother was being tortured.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi, hearing that the electric shock had taken effect, gloated.
"Mrs. Ouyang, I told you, you will definitely pay the price."
As soon as these words fell, Lin Yi increased the electric current, causing Mrs. Ouyang to feel the agony of electrocution all over her body.
Mrs. Ouyang lay on the ground in pain, the electric shocks unbearable for her.
When Ouyang Qian tried to come closer to help her mother, she too felt the intense pain of the electric shocks.
"What, what’s going on?"
The initially skeptical Ouyang Qian finally believed in the supernatural.
Was this the legendary thunderbolt from the sky? This clearly wasn’t something that could be done with mere tricks.
The next second, Ouyang Qian knelt in front of the eighth Bluetooth headset and begged tremblingly.
"Oh mighty Immortal, please spare my mother, if you must punish someone, punish me, strike me with lightning."
After saying this, Ouyang Qian crawled over and held Mrs. Ouyang tightly, thinking it would lessen her mother’s pain.
However, things weren’t so simple; the pain Mrs. Ouyang felt alone was now equally shared with Ouyang Qian.
The two women’s cries of pain reached Lin Yi’s ears, and his heart ached, especially for Ouyang Qian.
’Enough, you win, Ling Shuang is lucky to have such a good daughter like you, a blessing accrued over eight lifetimes.’
Lin Yi stopped the electric current, and the mother and daughter dared not resist anymore.
Subsequently, Lin Yi asked Mrs. Ouyang to open the red parcel and confess all her misdeeds.
With the lesson of being electrocuted twice, Mrs. Ouyang didn’t dare delay; she crawled and rolled to the red parcel and opened it with trembling hands.
Seeing the jade and laxatives, and the note inside, she tensed up instantly.
"Oh Divine Lord, I don’t know how these are related to me?"
Hearing this, Lin Yi wondered if his hints had not been clear enough.
"Mrs. Ouyang, stop playing dumb with me; first, you gave laxatives to the miners at Luoyang Mountain, and once they were exhausted from digestion issues, you gave them sleeping pills,"
"so that on the night the jade was stolen, not a single person woke up, not even the five big black dogs guarding the gate."
"And then the theft of Luoyang Mountain’s jade, do you dare swear to the heavens it wasn’t you?"
Mrs. Ouyang, terrified, threw herself to the ground and confessed all her crimes while crying.
Not only did she collaborate with bandits to steal jade on that day, daze the miners, but also embezzled Lin Yi’s jade money, purchasing a warehouse full of jade but only paying 100 taels.
Lin Yi coldly laughed, "Is that all? Is there anything else?"
Following that, Ouyang’s wife spoke of the exploitation of the miners, yet she did not mention the death of the three elderly miners at all.
These were clearly not the full answers Lin Yi was looking for, just as he was about to continue pressing Ouyang’s wife to confess her crimes.
Ouyang Qian suddenly pushed her mother hard, staring angrily at her.
"How could you do this, you have always been a great, upright, and kind mother in my eyes, how could you be so deceitful?"
"It is clearly written in black and white that you gifted Lin Yi the Luoyang Mountain and ten other mines, but you became jealous when he mined the ores."
"You agreed to sell to him, yet you couldn’t show sincerity in buying; offering only 100 taels for a warehouse full of Jade, aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed if this gets out?"
"Mother, I am truly disappointed in you."
Ouyang’s wife looked at her daughter crying tears of disappointment, and her heart felt as if it was being sliced by a knife.
"Qianqian, mother had her difficulties."
Ouyang Qian cried out hysterically.
"What difficulties? Are your difficulties greed?"
"It’s clearly jealousy and bullying Lin Yi. Even without Luoyang Mountain, the Jade produced is more than enough for the Ouyang Family for several generations to live without worries."
For the first time in eighteen years, a rift appeared between the mother and daughter.
Just as Ouyang’s wife tried to rush over to explain again to her daughter, Ouyang Qian ran out of the room crying.
At this moment, she couldn’t face the reality before her.
After Ouyang Qian left, Lin Yi’s goal was basically achieved.
Thus, he asked Ouyang’s wife for the last time.
"Mrs. Ouyang, regarding this theft of the Luoyang Mountain Jade, what other outrage against heaven and reason have you committed?"
Ouyang’s wife shook her head firmly, believing that stealing Jade was just stealing Jade, how she handled it afterward was not something the Divine would inquire about, so naturally, she would not confess.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment and decided to give her one last chance.
"Mrs. Ouyang, you were originally a blessed person, having a sensible daughter who protects you, but since you have done wrong, you must bear the consequences."
"What will you do next?"
Mrs. Ouyang promptly nodded, immediately promising to return the stolen Jade to Luoyang Mountain and to compensate Gao Wu with 100,000 taels of silver for the price of a warehouse of Jade.
"Good, I hope your true remorse will take effect, take the egg from your bosom and bury it into the soil."
Following Lin Yi’s instructions, Mrs. Ouyang really pulled an "egg" from her bosom.
Thinking back on how the egg had electrically shocked her, Mrs. Ouyang accidentally dropped it, and the "egg" clattered to the ground.
Miraculously, it didn’t break!
Upon hearing the sound of the Electric Shock Ball falling, Lin Yi also found himself in a dilemma.
’Ouch, this egg doesn’t break, how am I supposed to explain this.’
"cough cough, Mrs. Ouyang, this is a spiritually endowed egg, it won’t break."
"If you wish to maintain your safety forever, immediately bury this egg on the right side of the main gate of Luoyang Mountain’s wall, then plant a Cornelian, and you will be safe."
Receiving "Divine" guidance made Mrs. Ouyang devout all of a sudden, repeatedly agreeing to the "Divine’s" request.
"Remember, this egg has a spirit and will merge with the soil. Once buried, it must not be dug up, or you will suffer a bloody disaster."
After finishing these instructions, Lin Yi spit out the Jade from his mouth, then turned off his Bluetooth earphone.
’Sigh, finally I have unveiled Mrs. Ouyang’s true face.’
Lin Yi after taking a deep breath then instructed Gao Wu, to dig up an object resembling an egg under the Cornelian on the right side of the main gate in four hours, then find a secluded place to dispose of it, even breaking it is fine.
Toys like the Electric Shock Ball, Lin Yi has no intention of using a second time.
Masquerading as spirits is nothing more than a last resort.
