Li Jing Ming. You are no longer under its control for the mont. Tell whats going on. I will help you. Xiao Xia said earnestly.

Li Jing Ming looked at them in bewildernt, seeming in disbelief.

This is a high priest I invited over. He was the one who temporarily helped you escape its control. However, this ghost is powerful and we can only suppress it for a while. If you dont tell now, I wont be able to help you. Only after speaking can we figure out how to deal with it. Are you willing to allow it to bully you after harming your whole family?

He was a high priest she invited over? She was really good at making things up. No wonder lawyers charged a fee even for speaking. Despite her poor ability, she was actually able to make up such a convincing story. These thoughts ran through Ruan Zhans mind.

However, Li Jing Ming still didnt dare to believe her so easily.

Didnt you ask for my help last ti? Xiao Xia spoke urgently. If you dont make the effort yourself, no one else can help you. You may not care about what happens to you, but what about your son? It tried to harm your son a few days ago.

These words stimulated Li Jing Ming. He suddenly raised his head, startling Xiao Xia. She thought he was being controlled once again.

Who are you? Li Jing Ming asked, his voice so low and hoarse it was almost inaudible.

Who am I? Im your lawyer Yue Xiao Xia. Ive already introduced myself several tis.

Give your hand.

What for? Xiao Xia subconsciously hid her hand behind her back. Yeah right, buddy. She wasnt going to fall for it again. Last ti the ghostly handprint left her in pain for three days. It was still bruised even now.

It can turn into anything and anyone. It could turn into you, or this table, this chair, or even this priest. I have to be sure it hasnt turned into you to trick . Li Jing Ming whispered as though scared of being overheard. His deanor creeped her out. She turned and looked at Ruan Zhan. Under his encouragent, she hesitantly stretched her hand towards Li Jing Ming.

Li Jing Ming suddenly grabbed her hand. The ice-cold and rigid feeling made Xiao Xia pull back with all her strength. She almost scread. Luckily, Ruan Zhan held her shoulders so she didnt faint on the spot.

You done verifying yet?

You are real. Li Jing Ming released Xiao Xia, his tears suddenly welling up. You believe .

Of course I do. It also tried to harm .

But it has never left. How did it try to harm you?

Could there be another one? Or Xiao Xia looked at Ruan Zhan.

He shook his head. Ill explain it to you later. There isnt much ti. I suggest hearing what your suspect has to say.

Thats right, you should speak first. Tell us how you provoked it, how it hard you, whats going on with this case and why it hard you. Go over everything in detail. They didnt have the ti to coddle Li Jing Ming and could only get to the point.

Tell first how my son is doing.

If youre asking about his body, I can only say hes in recovery but has yet to wake up. However, a few days ago, it controlled your sons unconscious body to cut a nurses head off.

Xiao Xias words stunned Li Jing Ming. He stared at her as though not daring to believe her words.

I knew it! It wasnt lying to . Not only did it make commit evil, it also wants my whole family to die, down to the last person! I knew it! I knew it!

Calm down, or you wont have any chance at all! Ruan Zhan curbed the emotional Li Jing Ming.

Thats right! Xiao Xia pressed onwards, Since you know it wants to thoroughly harm you, arent you going to resist? If not for anyone, then how about for your son. Hes only fifteen, and still has his whole life ahead of him. No one can predict the future. Perhaps your son will bring about a miracle. Helping yourself ans helping him!

Xiao Xias words gave Li Jing Ming a trace of hope. Although it was weak, a parents unconditional love for his son gave his despairing heart so courage. Yes. Even if I have to risk it all, I wont let it harm Shu Lun again. This was the most determined he had been since the event. He started recollecting the hellish things that happened in the last few weeks.

This needs to be told starting from my upper-class family. I used to be a teacher in an impoverished rural village in the northwest. During a comndation ceremony for outstanding teachers, I t my wife. At that ti, I was the representative for rural teachers while she was one of the outstanding teachers being comnded. You cant imagine what the conditions were like in the countryside. I can only say that I was willing to do anything to be transferred to the city. That convention was my only opportunity. Im soone without wealth or looks, let alone any significant background. As for my wife, although her appearance was ordinary and her character shrewish and domineering, without much luck in love, she was still from a major city and an outstanding teacher. I never imagined I would sohow catch her eye. Regardless, I felt overwheld by her favor. Soon, I married into their household. Her parents were very influential within the citys Departnt of Education, so not only did I get my wish of remaining in the city, I also got a pretty good job in the citys Third Middle School. Everyone thought I lucked out and struck it big. However, no one knew that her family looked down on a lot. Back then, it was due to my wifes forceful personality that she was able to bring into the family. At first she treated well, but soon she started acting like the rest of her family. Sotis I think maybe my in-laws had high expectations of my wife. She was a very capable person. However, in a twist of fate, she had chosen and ended up becoming diocre. Perhaps she ended up regretting it but she had already given birth to Shu Lun. Shes also especially proud, and wasnt willing to admit she was mistaken and divorce . Ultimately, my existence was a disappointnt to the entire family, and resulted in this oppressive environnt back ho.

Li Jing Ming paused for a bit and continued: I was too embarrassed to tell anyone, but at this point there isnt really anything I cant say. Im sure you guys have heard of dostic violence. Dont think that only won can be victims. At least, in my household, I was the one being abused. At the slightest disagreent, my wife would pinch, choke, kick and hit . Verbal abuse and emotional abuse was also par for the course. Dont assu teachers are saints. Its just a profession. They could do their jobs well but it didnt an they were respectable people. Soone timid like isnt manly to begin with. Along with feeling that I wasnt worthy of her, and that I was a level lower, I submitted myself to this humiliating life for the past couple of decades. She also beca even more extre. Not only did I have to obey her every word, I didnt even have any control over my own finances. We worked at the sa school and my monthly salary went to her. I dont even know the password to my own debit card. Forget about sending my mom back ho so money, I couldnt even send her a letter without asking my wife for the stamp money. I let my mom down. She had been widowed at a young age, and after finally raising , I was an ingrate and coward who lusted after comfort and ran off to the city by myself, leaving her behind in the countryside. I didnt have the ability to bring her over, even for just a single day. Once, she missed too much and ca to visit with various local specialties. However, she was indirectly scolded by my in-laws and ended up being forced to return that very night. She cried the entire ti at the station, and even stuffed two hundred bucks. Do you guys know how long it took her to save that much? And in the end? My wife confiscated it and bought her mother a silk shirt! Imagine that! This household of teachers, what saints!
