[ILivestreamDivination] Chapter 27.4 — Spirit Games. Follow up on Real and Fake Daughters

The black schoolbag became slightly hot. An Rugu opened the zipper and took out a notebook. On the first page was some scrawled text: [Yes.]

Zhang Xia suddenly understood and felt a lot of emotion in her heart. Zhou Keyu passed away unexpectedly, and his grandfather came to the dormitory where his grandson once lived to work as a dormitory manager so he could preserve the relic he left behind…

She immediately thought of her own grandfather who had loved her very much but had already passed away and suddenly felt very sad. She almost forgot her fear of Zhou Keyu and took the initiative to ask, “You can write and even make yourself appear. You could communicate with your grandfather.”

Before words could appear on the exercise book, Shang Yue answered, “Yin and yang are separated. If a living person stays with the ghost for too long, it will damage their yang qi and affect their life span.”

Zhang Xia felt disappointed when she heard this, not noticing why Shang Yue would know this kind of thing so well, as if the knowledge came from personal experience. “Then… can’t you at least tell him that you are still here?”

After a long time, new writing appeared on the exercise book: [He hoped that I would get into a good university, find a decent job, and live a good life.]

[But I became a ghost possessing my schoolbag, and my condensed human form doesn’t look very good.]

[If he knew about this, he would probably feel more uncomfortable than knowing that I was already dead, so just let him think that I am completely dead.]

Zhang Xia found it a little hard to accept when she heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that it made sense. The dormitory grandpa was old. If he encountered a ghost and was frightened to death, the loss would really outweigh the gains.

People don’t see ghosts, and ghosts don’t see people—which was not a bad thing.

However, An Rugu looked back in the direction of the dormitory building and thought about things.

Zhang Xia and Shang Yue might not have seen too well because they were both outside the door, but An Rugu had seen him clearly. When she said she wanted to take the schoolbag away, the old man— the dormitory manager—had pain, confusion and… clarity in his eyes.

The old man may not be unaware of what had happened to his grandson.

Although there were no traces of spiritual practice on the old man, the feeling between family members who were connected by blood was very mysterious. It was very likely that he noticed something strange, understood that his grandson had turned into a ghost, and also understood that his grandson did not want to meet him, so he did not take the initiative to tear off the paper covering the window.

It wasn’t until she placed the black schoolbag in front of him and there was still no movement, indicating that the schoolbag’s owner had listened to her advice and was prepared to leave, that the old man made up his mind to let go.

Just as An Rugu was returning to the temple by car, there was a ding on her phone. It turned out to be Zhang Xia transferring money to her.

It was a lot of money.

An Rugu declined and sent a voice message: [“This is too much money.”]

She suspected that this was all of Zhang Xia’s savings.

However, Zhang Xia said: [I told my parents about this matter. They specially asked me to give it to you, and some of it was forwarded to me by the parents of the two students who were in a coma before. Because both of them were unconscious and woke up at the same time, they suspected that they were possessed.]

[I told them about your exorcism and they were very grateful to you.]

[Having said that, exorcising ghosts is so scary, it scared my parents when I told them about it.]

[Your business is really dangerous, please be safe!]

An Rugu saw that this was not just money from Zhang Xia, so she stopped refusing: [“Thank you.”]

She clicked to receive the transfer, and at the same time, there was an additional ‘friend request’ on WeChat. When she clicked on it, she saw a familiar name: <Warm Up Wine and Make Tea>.

An Rugu saw this ‘friend request’ and clicked on it. Thinking of what had happened before, she opened WeChat thoughtfully.

She entered the word ‘Wenda’, and a row of entries immediately appeared under the search box.

#Wenda Group Real and False Daughters of the Rich#

#Wenda Group Chairman’s Illegitimate Daughter Was Caught Embezzling Money on Livestream#

#WD¹ Big Melon#

Among all the entries, the most popular one was the screen recording of the livestream that day, which had tens of millions of views. It was ranked first in the hot searches that day, with ‘explosion’ displayed at the back.

In the eyes of many people, the chaos in the Chairman’s personal life was not such a bad thing. After all, it was normal for a wealthy family to be a little chaotic. Some wealthy families were even famous for having multiple wives.

But the scandal of this real and fake daughter was really too big. It combined illegitimate children, mistresses, child swapping, hatred of the rich, cheating, lovers, doctors collecting bribes, money laundering and economic crimes. It directly surpassed the marriage of big stars and became the largest wealthy family scandal of the year.

Wenda Group spent a lot of money to reduce the hot searches, but the hot searches could not be removed completely. Instead, because unseen hands were trying to cover their mouths, public opinion intensified, and various entries codenamed with the initials of Wenda to avoid suppression became more and more popular.

The second most popular entry was Wenda Group’s stock.

Investors actually didn’t care all that much that the Chairman cheated and had an illegitimate child, but the money laundering aspect really hit them where it hurts.

The Chairman’s daughter was obviously already rich, but she still stole, embezzled company funds, and laundered money?

If so, then who in this company didn’t know how to launder money? Who didn’t know how to be corrupt? It was very possible that the whole company was crooked from top to bottom!

As soon as the investors’ trust in Wenda Group fell to the bottom, they sold their stocks like crazy—after all, if they didn’t sell their stocks, those stocks would completely lose value while still in their hands!

And some financial elites who smelled blood in the water all rushed in like sharks buying the shares while at rock bottom—not only buying them at rock bottom, but also using leverage to push the prices to rock bottom.

In just three days, the huge Wenda Group lost 2 billion yuan in market value, suffering an unprecedented heavy blow.

T/N: I can’t tell you how so very refreshing it is for this story to actually explain that Wenda Group’s stocks plummeted not because of the family scandal—the investors couldn’t care less!—but because of lack of trust engendered by the fake daughter’s financial crimes. I often read stories where company stocks are affected because two high school students had a fight in the school forum or some such…
