[???]

[Gugu, just how many more surprises do you have that your emperor doesn't know about?]

[Wait, this is actually a thing?]

[My whole family is shook. Just who is your master, to get his hands on the Judge of the Underworld's Iron Pellet?]

[Didn't Gugu say his master liked to brag? Maybe his master was just messing with him.]

[Sigh... if that's the case, Xu Xue's parents will be so disappointed, won't they? Getting their hopes up only to despair again.]

[I feel like his master was probably messing with him. After all, his master came from some unknown Taoist temple. It's unlikely he could get something this powerful.]

Faced with the barrage of speculation, Qi Gu remained utterly composed. Under the eyes of the staff and everyone watching through the cameras, he tossed the Iron Pellet from a distance to Xu Xue inside the formation. "Catch."

Xu Xue caught it instinctively. At first, she thought she ought to wipe it off, since who knew how long it had been sitting around, but she quickly remembered that this wasn't her body. It belonged to that scumbag Sha Chuan.

Dirty was exactly what she wanted. The dirtier, the better.

She was actually worried Sha Chuan wouldn't get diarrhea after swallowing it.

With that thought in mind, Xu Xue didn't hesitate at all. She tipped back her head and swallowed the Iron Pellet with a forceful gulp.

Once the Iron Pellet entered her stomach, Xu Xue felt a heavy, dragging pain in her abdomen. Then she released her hold on Sha Chuan's soul, allowing him to control the body too.

Under everyone's eager gazes, Sha Chuan slowly woke up. Finding everyone staring at him, he assumed the possession was over and immediately tried to step out of the formation. Before he could move, however, Pubu Gesang stopped him.

"Don't move. It's not over yet!"

Sha Chuan instinctively stopped. "How long has it been? Why isn't it over yet? Sigh, if only Xuexue hadn't possessed me. I still want to talk to her-I don't want to talk to her at all-"

Sha Chuan clutched his throat in horror, unable to understand why he had suddenly spoken his true thoughts aloud.

"Wh-what's going on? What I just said wasn't... was exactly what I meant!" Sha Chuan covered his mouth in terror, not daring to say another word, afraid that if this continued, his biggest secret would come spilling out.

[Holy shit, it actually works! That Iron Pellet is real!]

[I'm starting to wonder who Gugu's master really was. Anyone who could get an Iron Pellet definitely wasn't some nobody.]

[His master was probably the previous head of Floating Mist Temple, right? Gugu is the head now, which means his master has already...]

[Sigh, if I remember right, Qi Gu was an orphan who was raised by his master, wasn't he?]

[Sigh... no wonder Gugu looked so nostalgic when he took out that Iron Pellet.]

[Quick, ask him for his bank PIN! (Just kidding.)]

[You up there... you ruined the mood!]

Just then, Xu Xue slowly spoke from inside Sha Chuan's body. "Sha Chuan, tell me. Did you and your boss plan what happened at the KTV together?"

Sha Chuan immediately felt the hand he had desperately pressed over his mouth being forced down. Then his mouth began opening and closing beyond his control.

"I did it all. You were the one who started thinking I was useless and couldn't make money back then, loosening my control over you... I needed some new leverage so I could keep you under tighter control." Sha Chuan continued in horror, "As it happened, that boss took a fancy to you. He said that if I brought you over for him to play with, he'd give me a top-tier S-class contract. I thought it was a good way to kill two birds with one stone, so I agreed."

"I treated you with care, but sometimes I'd say things that hit your sore spots. That was all deliberate. I wanted to keep you in line by hurting you, then giving you a little sweetness... I just never expected you to be so fragile that you couldn't even take that and chose to kill yourself." As he spoke, guilt and regret appeared on Sha Chuan's face.

But what he regretted wasn't his psychological manipulation. He regretted not having mastered his techniques.

Otherwise, Xu Xue shouldn't have killed herself. She should have become a dog completely at his mercy.

[Fuck, my fists are itching. Can someone punch him for me?]

[Same. What a fucking piece of shit, aaaaaah!]

[This really is a permanent stain on my internet history now. My hands are practically throwing sparks as I delete all the Weibo posts where I praised him.]

[Screen-recorded it and sent it to the police.]

[Enjoy prison.]

If even the netizens were this outraged, Xu Xue's family and friends were all the more so.

Xu Xue's parents were so disgusted they nearly threw up.

God knew how, in the days just after their daughter's death, Sha Chuan had checked on them every day and come to their home to look after them. They had practically treated him as a son, and had even seriously considered leaving their estate to this devoted son-in-law.

Now that Sha Chuan's true colors had been exposed, they wanted nothing more than to wipe their entire home down with disinfectant right that instant, erasing every disgusting trace of him.

"Sha Chuan, we always thought you were a good boy. We even thought we could rely on you in our old age and wanted to leave you everything. But it turns out you're the murderer who killed our Xuexue! Just you wait. I'm calling the police right now!" With that, Xu Xue's father immediately called the police on his phone.

Listening to Xu Xue's father report him over the phone, Sha Chuan broke out in a cold sweat. He wanted to run, but his legs seemed rooted in Xu Xue's fate chart, unable to budge, like a stone monument firmly set in concrete.

Meanwhile, in the livestream exposing the scumbag.

The original three girlfriends, Lili, Xinxin, and Xiao Mo, were utterly stunned by this complete reversal!

They had never imagined that their simple attempt to expose a cheating scumbag would uncover the truth behind a death!

Chills ran down their backs. They didn't dare imagine what might have happened if, after a while longer, Sha Chuan had used those same methods on them...

Jiang Huaguo was so furious that both her hands were clenched into tight fists. From the look of her, if the tablet hadn't cost money, she really would have punched Sha Chuan's vile face on its screen!

After cursing out Sha Chuan, the netizens began digging into the identity of his current agency's boss.

The netizens' fighting power knew no bounds. They soon identified him through publicly available information and discovered that he was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties who regularly shared his family life online: loving moments with his children, new surprises he had prepared for his wife, and the like.

He had even gained quite a few followers because of it.

The netizens: "..."

6.

The netizens immediately flooded his account with abuse. Some followed the trail to his wife and children's accounts to tell them what had happened, determined to tear his fake public persona to shreds.

The boss's wife had been estranged from him for a long time. She had long since discovered that he was fooling around behind her back, but she hadn't found any evidence, which was why she had delayed divorcing him.

After the netizens alerted her this time, she promptly gave her soundly sleeping husband two slaps. Then she briskly pulled the divorce agreement she had long since prepared in her favor from the bedside drawer and flung it hard in his face.

The boss jolted awake. Before he could figure out what was happening, he covered one side of his face in disbelief. His wife snapped a photo of him and posted it on Weibo with the caption: [Thanks for all the evidence, everyone. The agreement is ready, he's been hit, and I'm moving out with the kids right now.]

After posting, she swept back her long hair, pulled over the suitcase packed with all her jewelry, and strode away with her son and daughter.

-She hadn't hidden the fact that she had discovered her husband's infidelity. She had told both children about his affair long ago and clearly explained what was at stake.

As long as the children weren't idiots, they would naturally go with their own mother, who was about to own most of the family assets.

She felt there was absolutely no need to hide something like this. Doing so would only give the children mistaken ideas. It was better to explain everything clearly.

The netizens were utterly awed by her decisive actions.

[I've spent years helping expose scumbags online, and sis, you're the most badass wife I've ever seen.]

[Oh my god, that efficiency. If I were that efficient, my manager would put me on a pedestal!]

[Sis, you're the god of wronged wives!]

[So satisfying.]

[That was so satisfying it blew the top of my head clean off. Yes, yes, yes, yes!]
