Horror Camgirl - Ch. 63: The Cao Family's Revenge
Taking the opportunity, I scooped up the unconscious Yu Lang and turned to run. The bodyguard roared, “Stop!” He lunged after me, but the glass coffee table slid over and tripped him.
The fighting upstairs startled those downstairs who were indulging in pleasure, especially Cao Tianquan. He kicked the door open and rushed in, only to see a terrifying female ghost perched on the bodyguard's neck. He screamed in fear and fell to the ground.
“Ghost! There’s a ghost!”
I dashed out of the villa and flagged down a taxi on the side of the road, heading to the hospital. On the way, I saw several police cars rush past.
I closed the Live Stream Room and shoved a diluted Healing Pill into Yu Lang's mouth.
Doctors and nurses hurriedly pushed her into the operating room while I quietly slipped into the night, sneaking back home.
I opened Black Rock TV, and surprisingly, a Live Stream Room was broadcasting the aftermath of the incident.
The streamer lived in that villa community and, after watching my Live Stream, excitedly took out his phone to join the commotion.
The police had arrived, surrounding the Cao family’s villa with several patrol cars. Disheveled young men and women were led out with their heads covered, the first being Cao Tianquan.
“Ha ha! Cao Tianquan, you’re finished. This time, you’re utterly done for.” The streamer said triumphantly, “This is the retribution for your usual arrogance.”
Riding on my coattails, this streamer’s viewership shot up. Countless comments flooded the screen, with the public expressing their delight, feeling justice was served, and celebrating together.
A smile crept across my lips. Yu Qi, I’ve avenged you; it’s not in vain that you once called me sister.
She was originally a Wandering Ghost, and I used a spell to temporarily turn her into a Resentful Ghost. When the time limit is up, she would revert to her original form but would be weak for a while.
However, with her wish fulfilled, she would likely enter the underworld and be reincarnated.
I felt relieved and returned to my training. Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa in Shan City, a middle-aged man was throwing a fit.
“Bastard! Stupid kid!” The middle-aged man was Cao Tianquan’s father, Cao Yan.
He grabbed a white porcelain teacup and smashed it to the ground, shouting at the wealthy woman sitting nearby, who was quietly crying, “A lenient mother raises a wayward child. You spoiled him, and now he’s caused this catastrophic disaster, killing someone and making it known to the whole world. Our company’s stock will definitely plummet tomorrow!”
The wealthy woman wiped her tears and said, “How can this be blamed on me? You yourself said the eldest is the heir, to be groomed as an elite, while the second is allowed to play around, so there won’t be a family conflict over the inheritance. Now you’re putting the blame on me for this life-and-death situation?”
“I let him play, but I didn’t tell him to kill and burn!” Cao Yan retorted angrily.
“Dad.” The young man, who had been silent until now, spoke up. In his thirties, he was handsome, with neatly combed hair and gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes shining with shrewdness. “Now is not the time to assign blame; what’s important is how to resolve this.”
Cao Yan looked at his eldest son, thankful that this child had always been worry-free. Most company matters were now handled by him. He had also made a name for himself in the business world over the past two years.
“Tian Ning, what do you think we should do about this?” Cao Yan asked.
Cao Tianning replied, “Although the second brother admitted everything in the Live Stream, there is no evidence. We can say he was just venting. As long as we adamantly deny it, this case can’t be judged, and we have the best lawyer team in Shan City.”
Cao Yan nodded, “But public opinion…”
“Public opinion can be managed by a specialized company,” Cao Tianning analyzed. “The public currently harbors strong resentment toward the wealthy. Hiring online commentators to whitewash the second brother will only heat things up; it would be better to create hype around something else to suppress his incident. In a few days, the public will forget.”
Cao Yan was satisfied: “Good, you handle it.”
Madam Cao gritted her teeth, saying, “All of this is that little vixen from the Yu family’s doing. We absolutely cannot let her go. And that Horror Female Streamer—have someone pressure Black Rock TV to shut down the Live Stream Room. We also need to find a way to eliminate her!”
Cao Tianning pushed up his glasses and said, “This person is the most troublesome. She seems to be a ghost catcher, and we might not be able to handle her.”
Madam Cao shouted angrily, “Are we just going to let her go?”
“Of course not,” Cao Yan sneered. “Anyone who dares to lay hands on my Cao family won’t want to live. I’ll ask Master Tianming to take action. I want everyone to know the consequences of offending the Cao family.”
I trained all day and felt very relaxed.
I turned on my computer to check for updates on Cao Tianquan's case, but found that no major news outlets reported on it, and Weibo was buzzing with news about the U.S. elections.
I furrowed my brows; the Cao family truly had exceptional means.
Oh no! Yu Lang is in danger!
I rushed to the hospital, only to find that Yu Lang had been arrested by the police for attempted murder.
I immediately called Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin sighed, saying, “Yu Lang has already confessed at the police station, saying her sister fell from a height. She attacked Cao Tianquan out of jealousy because he had other women. There’s no evidence regarding Cao Tianquan’s murder; the police will likely release him soon.”
I could hardly believe my ears. Yu Lang hated Cao Tianquan to the bone; how could she suddenly retract her statement?
Could it be… Oh no! Aunt Sun might be in danger.
Aunt Sun is Yu Qi’s mother, and I heard she has been in poor health. I went to their home and found they lived in a basement with only a few shabby pieces of furniture.
My heart ached; the Yu sisters had once been the hope of this family, and now they had nothing left.
Aunt Sun wasn’t home, so I asked the neighbors, and they said a few men, claiming to be Aunt Sun’s relatives, took her away.
“Oh, by the way,” the neighbor looked me up and down, “those men said if a young woman wearing a hat and mask comes looking for her, she should go to the Hongyun Hotel tonight for a banquet.”
A chill ran down my spine. I thought that by exposing Cao Tianquan’s deeds through the Live Stream Room, he would face legal consequences. It turned out I was too naïve.
With the Cao family's influence, they could hire the best lawyer team. Cao Tianquan might indeed be acquitted in the end.
And the Yu mother and daughter would definitely meet a bad end.
Feeling disheartened, I left the Yu family’s place.
Suddenly, a Land Rover pulled up in front of me. Tang Mingli said, “Get in.”
“Did I do something wrong?” I asked, sitting in the passenger seat, speaking softly.
“You did nothing wrong,” Tang Mingli replied. “Anyone would have acted the same way with a scum like Cao Tianquan.”
“But I don’t have the power to take him out in one blow; I’d face the Cao family’s retaliation,” I frowned, “and I might drag others down with me.”
Tang Mingli held the steering wheel with one hand and grasped my hand with the other: “Don’t worry. Remember what I said? I won’t let anyone bully you again.”
I forced a smile. “Can I rely on you for a lifetime?”
“Why not?” he countered.
I was taken aback, my ears burning. I pulled my hand away and said, “Watch the road; don’t crash.”
He seemed to realize that rushing things wouldn’t help, saying, “The Cao family has invited Master Tianming to deal with you. Be careful.”
“Who is Master Tianming?”
“Master Tianming is the only cultivator in Shan City,” Tang Mingli explained. “It’s said that he was taken away by a wandering Daoist when he was a child for training. He returned at the age of twenty-six, and in just a few years, he became the one everyone in Shan City wanted to befriend. He is skilled in feng shui, fortune-telling, and ghost catching.”
A cold glint flashed in his eyes: “But this person is vicious, very petty, and holds grudges. Those who offend him suffer greatly. Tonight's banquet is clearly a trap, and Master Tianming will be attending. It’s unlikely to end well.”
I helplessly said, “But I have to go; otherwise, Aunt Sun will be in danger. My good deed could turn into a bad one.”
“Don’t worry; I’ll be with you,” Tang Mingli said. “I want to see what this Master Tianming is truly capable of.”
