What Huang Xiaolong said was like a heavy bomb, exploding in the private room.

Everyone was stunned!

A stepson and his stepmother having an illicit relationship, it’s a matter of utter disgrace. Once this matter is confirmed, Chairman Qiu who has a great influence in Binhai, would be deeply embarrassed…

But it’s just not possible!

After merely glancing at Chairman Qiu and his family, Huang Xiaolong was spouting such damning accusations, probably as payback for Qiu Xuan, Chairman Qiu’s disrespectful stepson.

“You little beast!” The first one to explode was Chairman Qiu’s wife, the beautiful young woman. She leapt up like a tigress and screamed savagely, “Slander! This is slander! I’m going to sue you! I’ll have you thrown in jail! You country bumpkin!”

Qiu Xuan also looked like an enraged beast. “Do you know what you’re saying?

Do you know what price you’ll pay for uttering such words? You’re done for! Peasant, I swear, you’re finished!”

Most people in the room started to criticize Huang Xiaolong—

“We should call the police. That’s the only way to deal with this.”

“How could Chairman Qiu, a person of great repute, tolerate being slandered by some backwoods peasant? This vile man, even a few years in jail would be too light.”

“This peasant is too despicable. This time even Old Hong and Old Zou can’t save him. You all know how ruthless Chairman Qiu can be.”

It could be said that Huang Xiaolong was being targeted by everyone in the private room, but his expression was indifferent, neither pleased nor moved by praise or criticism, even somewhat amused as he watched the three members of Chairman Qiu’s family.

“Misunderstanding…it’s all a misunderstanding…everyone…don’t… don’t get excited…we can talk this out…” Hong Quantao, sweating profusely, was peacemaking, nodding and bowing to everyone in the room.

Zou Shi also lowered his posture, repeatedly apologizing.

The two of them were on the verge of losing their nerve, the private room was filled with the rich and powerful, and Huang Xiaolong had provoked their wrath. It was feared this was not going to end well! Especially given the matter involved Chairman Qiu, it was going to be a tough pass!

“Ahem…” an elder dressed in traditional Tang suit coughed a few times, “everyone, give face to Quantao and Xiao Zou, don’t rush things, Brother Qiu, don’t take this to heart… young man, if you say such things, do you have any evidence?”

“There is nothing of the sort! I respect my godmother and godfather more than my birth parents, how could I possibly do such a thing?” Qiu Xuan hurriedly defended himself, clenched his fists and stepped forward, as if he wanted to protest physically against Huang Xiaolong.

“Enough! Qiu Xuan, sit down.” Finally, Chairman Qiu spoke up, his voice exuding an aura of authority that could not be denied.

“Godfather! You can’t seriously believe the slander spread by this peasant, can you?” Qiu Xuan became truly anxious.

“Honey…call the police and get this little beast arrested!” The beautiful young woman clung to Chairman Qiu’s sleeve, pestering him incessantly. “What’s there to discuss with such a vile thing?”

“All of you, stop talking. I’ll handle it.” Chairman Qiu cast a glance at the beautiful young woman and his authoritative aura permeated the room, indicating that he had started to take it seriously.

Qiu Xuan and the beautiful young woman fell silent.

Chairman Qiu threw an incisive look around the room, those whose eyes met his fell silent. Eventually, his gaze fell on Huang Xiaolong. “Young man, such

things really can’t be said lightly. Now that you have said it, I hope you can

provide evidence. Otherwise—”

At this point, Chairman Qiu’s eyes twitched, he looked murderously furious.

Obviously, if Huang Xiaolong couldn’t provide solid evidence today, he would face devastating punishment from Chairman Qiu!

Suddenly, Su Xiaoman gathered her courage to speak. “Little Long … Little Long has a pure heart. He’s the nicest person I’ve ever met … I believe he would never joke about such things, let alone slander people maliciously. I… I believe every word Little Long says.”

Hong Quantao and Zou Shi exchanged a look.

“I… I also trust what the Divine Doctor says.” Hong Quantao chose to side with Huang Xiaolong.

“When we were fortunate enough to encounter the Divine Doctor on the train, with just one glance, he diagnosed that I had severe jaundice, and Old Hong had irreversible late-stage liver cirrhosis…” Zou Shi spoke seriously. “I tend to be objective. I also choose to believe what the Divine Doctor says.”

Hong Quantao and Zou Shi, almost simultaneously, defended Huang Xiaolong.

There were personal reasons involved, after all, Huang Xiaolong had saved their lives. At this critical juncture, they couldn’t bear to see Huang Xiaolong fighting alone.

More importantly, they had witnessed Huang Xiaolong’s capabilities, and subconsciously, they almost blindly worshipped and trusted him. This also prompted them to seriously question whether there was something going on between Qiu Xuan and his stepmother!

Actually, if Huang Xiaolong had not spoken up, Chairman Qiu might not have had doubts. But upon hearing what Huang Xiaolong said, Chairman Qiu began to wonder, especially recalling the night before when he had asked Qiu Xuan to drive his wife for a spa treatment. They had returned home about half an hour later than usual…

But doubts are doubts, it’s not enough for Huang Xiaolong to make such allegations, he must provide convincing evidence. Otherwise, Chairman Qiu wouldn’t let this incident rest.

“Young man, don’t hesitate, bring out the evidence.” Chairman Qiu stared at Huang Xiaolong, observing every minute change in his facial expression.

Huang Xiaolong smiled as if nothing had happened. “You all think I’m spreading rumors? Actually, I never lie… Everyone has a certain aura, I just need to read these auras to know a lot of things.”

Huang Xiaolong looked more relaxed, “If two people have physical contact, such as a hug, or holding hands, their auras will attach to each other’s body surface. But if it’s a deep contact, like when they get intimate, then, their auras would penetrate into the other’s body.”

“Uncle, your wife has your stepson’s aura inside her body, and similarly, your stepson’s body also houses your wife’s aura. This is left from last night, so I can be sure that they were intimate last night.” Huang Xiaolong explained directly, “And more, uncle, your wife still has your stepson’s…stuff living inside her belly, that is why I said they didn’t take any precautions when they were together…”

After he finished, everyone in the private room looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Read aura?

This is so bloody mystical, isn’t it?

I have to say, Huang Xiaolong’s theory does have a little bit of sense, but to use it as evidence of these two committing adultery, it is far from adequate.

“Hahaha–I’m dying of laughter! This is your so-called evidence? It’s purely nonsense!” Qiu Xuan started to laugh, but his laughter looked forced, uglier than crying ever could be.

The beautiful young woman’s face kept getting paler.

Chairman Qiu pondered for tens of seconds, shaking his head slightly. “Young man, your evidence is insufficient. After all, these are only your own words, this so-called aura reading is also beyond my understanding.”

“Getting evidences can actually be quite simple.” Huang Xiaolong said with a grin. “Here’s what we’ll do, sir, tell me the birth details of your adopted son. I’ll cut a paper doll right now, burn a truth-revealing talisman, and the paper doll will tell us everything.”

Cutting a paper doll? Truth-revealing talisman?

Everyone in the private room was thoroughly confused.

Chairman Qiu thought for a few seconds and nodded. “Okay, we’ll do what you suggested. No matter what method you use, I hope you can ultimately present concrete evidence that will convince me.”

“You’re playing mind games!” Qiu Xuan cursed. “I… I won’t be afraid of you…

The innocent will remain innocent…”

Chairman Qiu was very well-aware of Qiu Xuan’s birth details. He wrote it on a piece of paper and handed it to Huang Xiaolong.

Huang Xiaolong had Hong Quantao bring over a sheet of A4 paper and a pair of scissors.

Huang Xiaolong began to cut the paper doll, talking as he cut. “A paper doll belongs to yin, so when we’re cutting a paper doll, we must avoid the interference of yang energy, which means saliva, blood, etc. If a paper doll gets in contact with these items, it will turn into waste paper…”

People in the private room didn’t take him seriously, they sneered at Huang Xiaolong’s actions – in this modern age, he was still invoking old superstitious practices!

They thought that Huang Xiaolong would bring out some powerful evidence, but he was just putting on a show!

Shortly after, the paper doll was ready.

Huang Xiaolong took out a stick of incense from the cloth bag he carried, lit it up, and used the glowing tip of the incense to burn eyes and mouth on the paper doll, this ritual is known as “opening the light, dotting the eyes”.

He wrote Qiu Xuan’s name and birth details on the paper doll.

“Alright! I’ll burn the truth-revealing talisman now.” Huang Xiaolong pulled two yellow talisman papers from his pocket.

One of them was a “Soul-binding Talisman”, used to bind Qiu Xuan’s soul, making it attach to the paper doll.

The other was indeed a “Truth-revealing Talisman” – once Qiu Xuan’s soul was bound, he would immediately burn the truth-revealing talisman, and then the paper doll would be revived and start talking.

As quickly as the words were uttered, Huang Xiaolong flicked his wrist, and the “Soul-binding Talisman” instantly ignited.

Suddenly, Qiu Xuan became somewhat dull, his eyes glazed over.

Invisible to the naked eye, a ray of light emerged from the top of Qiu Xuan’s head and attached itself to the paper doll that Huang Xiaolong had cut out.

“Stand up!” Huang Xiaolong pointed with his hand, and a bizarre thing happened!

The paper doll lying flat on the rosewood table stood up, seemingly driven by a mysterious force!

This eerie scene made many people in the private room feel a chill running down their spines, their hearts pounding, even afraid to take a breath!

In a flick of his wrist, the “Truth-revealing Talisman” also ignited, and the paper doll started to walk back and forth on the rosewood table.

“What’s your name?” Huang Xiaolong asked the paper doll with a chuckle.

“My original name is Ma Xuan, a few years ago, I adopted the surname Qiu after acknowledging Binhai’s real estate tycoon as my godfather.” The paper doll started to talk!

Its voice was incredibly sharp, causing the shivers, but it was somewhat recognizable to be Qiu Xuan’s voice.

People in the private room were trembling all over, goosebumps dropping all over the floor!

“Then what’s going on between you and your godmother?” Huang Xiaolong asked again.

“I started having illicit relations with godmother a year ago, enjoying the carnal delights every time godfather has business meetings in other cities.

Godmother said, godfather was getting old, he wasn’t able to satisfy her… Godmother particularly likes me, she’s infatuated with me, we have planned that once godfather gets old, we will split godfather’s fortune. Considering godfather has no children of his own, it works perfectly for godmother and me…”

In the private room, every word spoken by the paper doll fell on everyone’s ears.

Eventually, everyone’s faces were filled with righteous indignation, clenching their teeth, glaring at Qiu Xuan and the beautiful young woman with menacing eyes.

“Beasts! This pair of adulterers! They should be drowned in a pig cage! They deserve to die!” Finally, someone burst out in curse.
