[And that wasn't all. I remember Han Lei once tried to pursue a girl, and his three roommates dumped lumps of steaming shit on his head right in front of her.]
A classmate had come forward!
The million-plus viewers in the livestream were all stunned.
Were these really the university students they thought they knew?
How could university students do something so horrifying?
[Just Here for the Drama: Ha, this is a planted commenter, right? If they really played such vicious pranks on him, why didn't he call the police?]
[Contentment Is Happiness: You can find his story online. Just search for it.]
Quite a few viewers immediately searched. Sure enough, nothing stayed private online.
They dug up every short video his three roommates had filmed back then.
After comparing the victim in the videos with Han Lei's appearance, they finally confirmed that Contentment Is Happiness hadn't been making baseless claims.
"Master, could the disaster I'm about to face be coming from my three roommates?"
Suddenly, Han Lei raised his head. It occurred to him that the only people likely to take revenge on him were his three roommates.
"That's right."
Lin Fan nodded. "After enduring their bullying for so long, resentment built up inside you. In your second year, you finally snapped."
"When your second year began, you followed the three of them and secretly filmed them, recording all the bad things they did in private."
"Not only that, you hired online trolls to blow their family situations completely out of proportion."
"You exposed one of them for having an affair with his own younger sister."
"You exposed another one's mother as a prostitute."
"And you exposed the last one as gay."
Normally, even if things like that got out, they would only spread within a small circle.
But after uncovering them, Han Lei hired a huge number of paid trolls to publicize them far and wide.
As a result, all three families fell apart. One roommate's parents even committed suicide because they couldn't bear the online abuse.
"Were you wrong? Yes, you were."
"Were they wrong? They were wrong too."
Lin Fan sighed deeply. Before entering university, Han Lei had thought it would be a shining road to success. He had never imagined it would be an even darker world.
His three roommates ruined any chance he had with the girl he liked, humiliated him online, and subjected him to endless bullying in his daily life.
Good and evil would both get their due.
All three roommates had suffered retribution.
[Boss Xiu: I don't know why, but I don't think Han Lei did anything wrong. After all, he only exposed them. He didn't make anything up.]
[Ragdoll Cat: If it were me, I might have done the same thing.]
[Black Fan Team: So this was how our boss started down the path of a hater?]
[Chu Conqueror: By the way, did any of you notice something? Master Lin Fan could actually divine the details of Han Lei's life!]
[An Invisible Fan Quietly Supporting Master: I noticed. Master is awesome!]
"Master, tell me. Which one of them wants revenge on me?"
A cold glint flashed through Han Lei's eyes. After enduring endless suffering, he had long since forged an unshakable heart.
Whoever wanted revenge, he had only one thing to say: Bring it on!
"The revenge already began long ago."
Lin Fan said calmly, "There's an empty patch of land outside your door. Have someone dig three feet down right now."
Han Lei lived in a detached house in the countryside.
Aside from neighbors on either side, there was empty land both in front of and behind the house.
[Jiangzhou Uncle Cop: Digging again? Don't tell me there's another body!]
[Pingzhou Uncle Cop: Where is Han Lei from? Please notify the local Uncle Cops!]
[Yunzhou Uncle Cop: Whenever Master Lin Fan speaks, there's bound to be another burial site!]
[Black Fan Team: Our boss is from Yunzhou!]
[Yunzhou Uncle Cops: We're heading over right now!]
These days, police officers were watching Lin Fan's livestream around the clock.
They had noticed a pattern: whenever digging was involved, it almost always turned up a murder or something similar.
"I'll go take a look."
Han Lei had no idea what was going on. He happened to own an excavator, so he went outside, drove it over, and began digging straight into the empty ground in front of his door.
He had dug less than three meters down.
Suddenly, a trace of red seeped through.
The bodies of cats and dogs were unearthed one after another.
"Oh, it's just cats and dogs."
Han Lei let out a sigh of relief. He had thought he would dig up a human body, but it turned out to be only some cats and dogs.
Still, more than a hundred cats and dogs buried in the ground made for a rather unsettling sight.
[Ding! The streamer has violated the rules. Please do not broadcast graphic footage.]
Lin Fan saw the warning pop up on the livestream but paid little attention to it. He had frequently received warnings during his streams over the past few days.
Perhaps because he was so popular, however, the platform hadn't banned him.
"There's a coffin five meters underground. Dig it out. The body inside belongs to one of the roommates who bullied you," Lin Fan said.
The moment he finished speaking,
every viewer froze. Besides the dead cats and dogs, there was actually a human body down there too.
[Boss Xiu: Holy shit, Master isn't joking, is he? Could Han Lei be the murderer?]
[Ragdoll Cat: A body buried outside his door, belonging to a roommate who bullied him... Since Han Lei held a grudge all this time, did he find a chance to kill his former roommate after entering the workforce?]
[Great Detective Conan North: Based on my many years of detective experience, there is only one truth. The murderer is Han Lei!]
Comments streamed across the screen.
His roommate had bullied him, so he killed his roommate and buried the body in the empty ground outside his own house.
The logic was perfectly sound.
"No! I didn't kill anyone!"
Panic filled Han Lei's face as he hurriedly defended himself. "I haven't seen any of those three since graduation!"
"And although I've always wanted to kill them, I would never actually murder anyone!"
[Yunzhou Uncle Cops: Han Lei, please stay where you are. My colleagues are on their way to your home. If you're innocent, our investigation will establish that.]
[Rational Neutral: Are you people sick in the head? Can you just believe whatever Master says? There isn't even a body yet. They've only dug up dead cats and dogs, and you're already suspecting Han Lei of murder?]
Chapter 37: I Have a Master. Do You?
[Black Fan Team: Our boss isn't a murderer. Master Lin must have gotten it wrong!]
[Wandering Geomancer: I admit Master Lin's earlier readings were all accurate, but that doesn't mean he can't make mistakes.]
[Thirteenth Sister: This is hilarious. Have you all lost your minds? I'm certain there isn't a body underground!]
Quite a few new viewers spoke up.
They believed Lin Fan must have made a mistake. Even a master could get things wrong.
Some even questioned Lin Fan's abilities, believing he wasn't nearly as powerful as everyone thought.
"Keep digging."
Lin Fan didn't argue. Once the body was unearthed, these viewers would have nothing more to say.
The facts would prove everything. He trusted that his reading wasn't wrong.
"Master, I'm really not the murderer."
Looking utterly miserable, Han Lei said, "I did want to kill them, but after they dropped out in our second year, I didn't even know where they lived. How could I have killed anyone?"
Lin Fan said calmly, "Did I ever say you were the murderer?"
The moment he said that,
Han Lei froze for a moment. Indeed, Master Lin had never said who the murderer was. It had all been the viewers' speculation.
With Lin Fan's reassurance,
Han Lei no longer hesitated. He operated the excavator and dug another two meters down.
Sure enough, a reddish-brown coffin emerged five meters beneath the surface.
He swallowed and used the excavator to open the coffin lid.
Inside lay a remarkably lifelike body, without the slightest foul odor.
With just one glance,
Han Lei recognized the body and cried out, "Wang Xiaoming!"
It really was one of the three roommates who had bullied him!
[Total Newbie: Oh my god, this body is terrifying. Is he still alive? Why hasn't his body decomposed at all?]
[Renowned Physician Qin Yu: This body has been infused with mercury. Mercury can keep a body from decomposing for a certain period.]
[Renowned Physician Qin Yu: Judging solely from the footage, he probably died less than three months ago. Otherwise, even with mercury, the body would gradually begin to decompose after three months.]
