“Did you meet each other after breaking up?”
Shaking his head, Wang Xin answered, “No, you may check our call history if you don’t believe me. Let’s just put it this way: I really didn’t want to see her again, let alone take the initiative to contact her. She never looked me up either. I really don’t want to talk about her again because I truly regret getting to know a woman like her. She’s a complete lunatic. She loves putting on her costume in the middle of the night instead of sleeping. I would get a huge fright whenever I opened my eyes and saw her doing that. This happened more than once. Don’t you think it’s really creepy?”
An Xiaoning could tell that he utterly detested Yi Ying and that even the mere thought of her was enough to irk him.
An Xiaoning had no further questions and instead said, “Follow me to Yi Bay.”
“What for?”
“We’ve found Yi Ying’s grave. I want to summon her spirit and ask her what her motive is for harming others incessantly.”
“Can you really communicate with the dead?”
Instead of answering him, An Xiaoning stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
“Hubby, I want to go too. I want to come with you,” said Wang Xin’s wife, who grabbed onto him.
“Sure, come along then,” said An Xiaoning.
“Alright, I’d also like to know why she wants to harm others,” Wang Xin said fearlessly.
An Xiaoning noticed that there wasn’t a single tinge of guilt or fear in his expression and headed downstairs together with them.
Her car was already parked outside the entrance. No. 5 handed her the key and said, “Here, Sis.”
She took the key from him and said to No. 5, “You don’t have to come along. There are only four seats, there’s no space.”
“Let No. 8 sit on the passenger’s seat while I sit on his lap. We can make do by squeezing a little,” said No. 5, who wanted to tag along.
“Alright, hop in.”
Once they got inside the car, An Xiaoning entered the location into the GPS routing system and drove out of Sanqiao Estate.
She sped along the roads toward Yi Bay.
Along the journey, An Xiaoning thought about all the likely possibilities and the corresponding solutions she could adapt to tackle the problems.
Her mind did not get a break at all.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the village in Yi Bay, which was brightly lit, they were greeted with the sight of two police cars parked on the bare land where several people were waiting.
They alighted from the car, after which Ding Liang scrambled toward her and said, “We’ve already asked about the details, there’s nothing too different from what we found out earlier. According to her family, she didn’t have any other boyfriends after breaking up with Wang Xin.”
Wang Xin eagerly interrupted, “Must it really be the case that her accident had something to do with whether or not she’s had any boyfriends?”
“That’s not what Ding Liang meant. Her boyfriend is just one of the possible motives for her vengeful behavior. Since she didn’t date anyone else, there could also be another reason. Regardless of what it may be, we’ll know once we go take a look,” said An Xiaoning.
She had specially called Wang Xin along in order to verify if he was telling the truth. She would know after seeing Yi Ying’s reaction.
After a serious discussion, An Xiaoning headed to Yi Ying’s home.
The police’s visit had caused a stir amongst the villagers.
They were all crowding around the entrance of Yi Ying’s home.
An Xiaoning asked Yi Ying’s family for her birth characters and instructed them to kill two roosters. She then drained the rooster’s blood into a bag and handed the bag to Ma Jianguo.
An Xiaoning only brought a few people along to the graveyard.
They included Yi Ying’s parents, Wang Xin and his wife, as well as No. 5, No. 8, Team Leader Zhang, and Ma Jianguo.
As they were approaching the graveyard, An Xiaoning took the bag of blood from Ma Jianguo’s hands.
“Officer, it’s over there,” said Mrs. Yi, pointing at a small tombstone that looked like it belonged to a child.
It was small, to the point that there was still excess rooster blood after An Xiaoning had already drenched the tombstone in it.
An Xiaoning lit up a joss stick and stood with her palms pressed together. She did not plan to summon Yi Ying’s spirit at all since it was impossible that the latter would show up out of her own accord.
Hence, she chose to force Yi Ying to show herself.
After chanting a spell, the amulet darted toward the tombstone and revolved around it.
All of a sudden, a piercing shriek coming from the tomb filled the air. Everyone turned pale in fright, including Ma Jianguo and his colleagues, who got the chills and dared not open their eyes, despite having already witnessed similar rituals in the past.
It was an eye-opener for Yi Ying’s parents, who began tearing up uncontrollably. Wang Xin’s wife passed out straight away while Wang Xin held her in his embrace tightly, consumed by terror. He had turned as pale as a ghost.
He could tell that the shriek was from Yi Ying.
The amulet revolved continuously, and An Xiaoning could clearly see a silhouette inside the imaginary circle drawn by the amulet.
“Yi Ying, why did you cause so many car accidents? Did you think that you could continue going about your unruly ways? Do you really think we won’t be able to subdue you!?! You’ve caused the loss of 39 lives by creating those six major traffic accidents. These people don’t know you at all and don’t have a feud with you either. You’ve committed such a great sin. You’re not going to reincarnate!”
“I didn’t think I wouldn’t be subdued. You’re very capable, huh? Not only did you manage to guess where my next target location was, but you also even found out who I am. Seems like you’re really something,” Yi Ying said menacingly in a shrill voice.
She then screeched all of a sudden, “Wang Xin!”
Holding his unconscious wife in his arms, Wang Xin answered, “I’m here, Yi Ying, I really didn’t think we’d still be able to communicate even though you’re already dead. You’re really vicious and wicked. Those people have nothing to do with you. Why did you have to treat them that way? I was right to have broken up with you. If I had married you back then, you might just have killed me and my whole family if you’re unhappy one day!”
“I may have killed many innocent lives, but I didn’t kill you, did I!?! You’re the main cause of everything. I treated you well with all my heart and yet you grew sick and tired of me gradually. You even initiated a breakup with me. I got into a car accident precisely because I had gotten drunk and wanted to drive to your place to look for you. Have you any idea how I got through those two months after we broke up? I forced myself not to call you or look you up, but I just couldn’t do it and caved in in the end. At last, I even thought of meeting you and telling you the things I had on my mind. Yet, I got into that fatal accident,” Yi Ying rebuked in a high-pitched voice.
Wang Xin did not feel touched at all to hear her words. Instead, he scoffed and sneered, “Yi Ying, breaking up with you was the best decision I’ve ever made in my life. Which man could possibly tolerate you standing beside the bed in an ancient costume in the middle of the night with your hair all over the place? Which man can stand having you call them tens of times every day to run a spot check? Not only did you insult my parents, you even thought of how you’d deal with them maliciously even before marrying me. You don’t have to feel shocked at all, but I happened to chance upon your QQ personal diary once and saw what you wrote in there about my parents. That’s when I made the decision to break up with you completely. Being with a neurotic woman like you is the ultimate torture. I had nothing to do with your death at all, and neither will I feel a single tinge of guilt toward you!”
