Master, I Want Revenge

"Welcome to my stream, everyone. You're all here so early and so eager again."

There were over five hundred viewers in the stream. Most of yesterday's casual viewers had become fans and joined the group, and now they had all shown up early.

Gaining just over five hundred followers in three days was very, very slow.

Plenty of internet celebrities gained millions, even tens of millions of followers overnight.

But having over five hundred followers and over five hundred concurrent viewers was impressive.

He had only just started streaming and said hello, yet he had already received 5,500 yuan in gifts.

Yi Shuihan: "Hey, handsome, I didn't get a reading before. Can I still get one now?"

"Of course, Officer. Anyone who's won a draw or had their fortune told before has a destined connection with me. Just send a Rocket for a reading."

Seeing so many people asking for readings, Jin Hong grew anxious.

Changshan Zhao Ergou: "Master, can we start? Please do mine first, I'm begging you. I haven't slept properly all day. I'm much calmer now, so please do mine first!"

"Go ahead and do his. I don't mind!"

"I don't mind either. I'm in no hurry."

"I left the stream open at noon today to wait, and he was already here then. We even chatted a little. He must have been waiting this whole time!"

Whether anyone else believed him was beside the point.

As far as Jin Hong was concerned, he already believed Xiao Yu completely.

The girl he loved was dead. The girl who had chased him around and beaten him up every day when they were children was dead.

His love was gone, his dreams shattered.

It was an even harder blow than hearing that she had a boyfriend or had gotten married.

He wanted nothing else now, only to uncover the whole truth and bring the culprit to justice.

"Mr. Jin, let's connect by video."

"Thank you!"

When Jin Hong's face appeared on the video feed, the viewers began commenting.

"Hubby, what's happened to you, hubby? My heart aches for you, sweetie!"

"His eyes are sunken, and his hair looks like a bird's nest!"

"He must have been up all night. Yesterday hit him so hard. He's really a hopeless romantic!"

Jin Hong's voice was a little hoarse too. "Master, after spending the night thinking things over and calming down, I realized my feelings for that girl weren't actually as deep as I'd imagined."

"After all, we hadn't been in touch for so many years. She might have started dating or gotten married long ago."

"I'd prepared myself for all of that. I could accept it."

"But the one thing I can't accept is that someone killed her! No matter what, she was my closest friend throughout my childhood, the girl I had a crush on all through my youth. The fact that she's my good friend will never change!"

"Master, I want revenge! I want to get to the bottom of this! I want to bring the murderer to justice and put him in prison!"

Xiao Yu nodded.

"It's good that you've realized that. Now, let's get to what we're here for today!"

"Mr. Jin Hong, are you ready to face the truth?"

"Yes!"

"That girl's name was Jiang Qing. She was twenty-two when she died, six years ago."

"That day, she was twenty-two..."

"Little Jin, I finally found you! Hehe!"

Jiang Qing had never imagined that the Childhood Sweethearts she had grown up with, the boy she had spent so long searching for, was attending the university right next door.

Back then, her family had suddenly moved because of financial difficulties.

Only at the moment they moved away and said goodbye did she realize she was being separated from her Childhood Sweethearts.

She had been in her final year of middle school then, just beginning to discover love. Only after they were separated for good did she realize that her heart already belonged to someone.

Crying and making a fuss had done no good, and she had no way to contact him beyond a landline number.

Once that landline was no longer in use, they lost contact completely.

Today, she had gone to a company for an interview. Delighted to have been offered the job, she had gone out to celebrate over a meal with her best friend.

But just as she entered the restaurant, she unexpectedly ran into her Childhood Sweethearts, whom she had lost touch with years ago, walking out after his meal!

She was beside herself with excitement.

She had wanted to greet him right away, but she was shy, afraid she had mistaken him for someone else, and worried that he had already forgotten her.

In the end, she couldn't summon the courage. She abandoned her meal and followed him all the way to the entrance of the men's dormitory.

Only then did she return, elated, to finish her meal.

As she saw it, whether she waited outside his dorm or asked around later, she no longer had to worry about being unable to find him.

She also found out that Jin Hong didn't have a girlfriend, which made her even happier.

She thought perhaps he hadn't found a girlfriend because he couldn't forget her either.

Remembering that Jin Hong's birthday was only ten days away, she once again restrained the urge to meet him.

She gave herself a reason to wait: she would show up on his birthday in ten days and see how he reacted.

Ten days passed.

It never occurred to her that Jin Hong had no plans to celebrate his birthday at all. That day, she waited outside the campus...

Xiao Yu said calmly, "...She waited until after ten that night. The dorms were about to close when she finally realized you weren't planning to go out and celebrate with your friends. She'd thought that even if you didn't celebrate your birthday, you would at least have a meal with friends or go shopping."

"She'd miscalculated, so she could only head back to her own dorm. She planned to knock on your dorm room door the next day and surprise you, just like she used to barge into your house when you were kids."

"But then..."

Xiao Yu paused briefly.

Jin Hong's eyes had already reddened.

He rubbed his clenched fists together tightly.

"Master, what happened next?"

"That night was the end of her life. She never imagined that on her way back to her dorm, her beauty would catch the eye of a scumbag. That scumbag had a job that made people let their guard down: a security guard at the gate... Jin Hong, he was the gate guard at your university."

An icy, chilling glare shot from Jin Hong's eyes!

His entire body shook violently with rage.

"It's my fault she died... If I hadn't gone out to eat that day, she wouldn't have seen me. If I'd gone out to celebrate my birthday, she wouldn't have been killed!! I'm going to find him right now. I'll drag that scumbag to the police station myself!"

"Calm down. Do you think he could carry on working as a gate guard without a care after doing something like that? He ran away long ago."

"Master, where did he run to? Can you divine that?"

Xiao Yu shook his head. "Unfortunately, I used you to divine the truth behind Jiang Qing's murder, then used Jiang Qing to divine the existence of this man. Finding out that he was a gate guard was already the limit."

If this had been his first day, when he was at the first level of Qi Refining, he would only have been able to divine that Jiang Qing was dead, and nothing beyond that.

Even so, if those fortune-telling masters with genuine abilities learned of this, they would probably come running, wailing and falling to their knees to beg him to take them as disciples.

Knowing that the man had been a gate guard was already a crucial lead.

"Then what do you need to keep going?"

"A photo! He was a gate guard at Yanjing University, where you studied. The university must have records of him, and the police will list him as a wanted suspect too. As long as you can find a photo, I can continue the reading!"

"All right, Master Xiao. I'll go find one right now. I'll pursue him to the ends of the earth, until my dying breath!! Even if he escapes to Mars, I'll catch him!"
