Chapter 143 The Truth Revealed

Cao Kun's smile deepened: "As a police chief, you must have left something in your residence that would be enough to save your life."

You might have buried dozens of kilograms of explosives there.

What if I rashly go there and get blown up by you?

Now, a small plan can get you to show up on your own initiative.

Here, you have nothing, and I can crush you as easily as squeezing an ant.

If you were me, what would you choose?

Frank's face suddenly became extremely venomous, and he became extremely crazed: "It's all your fault, it's all your fault that you ruined hundreds of years of hard work and destroyed my revenge plan."

I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you...

He suddenly drew his sidearm from his waist, aimed it at Sofia, and pulled the trigger.

His target wasn't Cao Kun, but Sophia.

Bang bang bang...

The gun muzzle spewed fire, and the bullet flew out.

Despair flashed in Sofia's eyes, and just then, a figure swiftly appeared in front of her.

A faint purple-green light emanated from the man's body. Bullets that hit him were all deflected without even causing him to tremble.

Cao Kun shook his head: "Mary Shaw, Mary Shaw, you have truly ingrained meanness and malice into your very bones."

You killed so many children and turned them into dolls.

Now, you want to injure Sofia to slow me down and give yourself a chance to escape.

Even I, a heretical cultivator, find you shameless.

As he spoke, Cao Kun stepped forward and threw a punch at Mary Shaw.

"Spare me..."

Bang!

He had barely uttered a sound when Cao Kun punched him on the head.

In an instant, his head was smashed open by Cao Kun's punch.

A figure flew out from the headless body. Cao Kun opened his mouth and inhaled, and the figure quickly disappeared into Cao Kun's mouth.

"Ding! Killed a D-level ghost, gained some experience points."

"Ding! Killed a D-level ghost, obtained the 'Heavenly Array Record'."

"Note: The Record of Heavenly Arrays is a summary of observations of the heavens and the earth. It lays out methods to adapt to the situation based on the laws of heaven and earth. This is the array."

A system notification sounded in Cao Kun's mind.

This means that Mary Shaw is really dead this time.

"Master Cao Kun, how are you? Are you alright?"

Sophia rushed over with red eyes and carefully examined Cao Kun.

Just now, she thought she was going to die, but Cao Kun stood in front of her and took the bullet for her.

She was deeply moved, but then worried that Cao Kun might get hurt because of it.

"I'm fine." Cao Kun stretched out his hand.

Sophia saw that Cao Kun was really alright; he wasn't bleeding at all, and his clothes weren't even torn.

She was both surprised and relieved of her worries.

She breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank you, otherwise I would be in the same situation as my father and brother now."

Cao Kun pointed to Frank's headless corpse, or rather, another incomplete perfect doll: "You don't have to worry anymore. This time, Mary Shaw is really dead."

“That’s wonderful.” Sofia smiled.

Then, he went to the corner and took a home dV camera from a cabinet.

She looked back and said, "The whole process was filmed, and the audio recording is fairly clear."

With this, we don't need to prove this body is fake, and we'll be fine.

Cao Kun: "Actually, we could find Frank's real body and do a DNA test to find out the whole truth."

However, these videos can save me a lot of time and words.

You can take care of the rest for me.

“I will,” Sophia nodded solemnly in agreement.

Cao Kun: "Now, you're all alone in your family. What will happen to the company and the business?"

Sofia must have thought about it beforehand: "This is the culmination of my father and brother's hard work, and I will try to take over first."

If I'm not suited to running a business, I'll hire a professional manager.

Cao Kun nodded; it was a very well-thought-out idea.

Cao Kun: "You can send a car to take me back."

Sophia immediately said, "Master Cao Kun, didn't you promise to stay and attend my father's funeral?"

Cao Kun: "That was just to mislead Mary Shaw's spies in the manor."

Sofia: "Now, I formally invite you to stay and attend my father's funeral before you go back, okay?"

Cao Kun thought for a moment: "500,000 US dollars. By the way, I will also find out the spies in the manor."

Sofia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "No problem."

Sofia officially called the police.

Soon, a large number of police officers arrived at the door.

Sofia took out the video footage from the dV camera and recounted what had happened.

Sophia's lawyers will handle everything from now on; Cao Kun won't even need to show his face.

In the US, as long as you have money, a lawyer can handle most things for you.

Although Cao Kun's departure was a pretense, Sophia's arrangements for the funeral were genuine.

After the lawyer went to the police station to handle the matter, Sofia went on to arrange various funeral arrangements.

Cao Kun also began to investigate the spies within the manor.

Actually, it's very simple.

With a flick of the Myriad Souls Banner, several vengeful spirits possess the body, bewitching the target's mind, causing them to obediently confess everything.

It didn't take long for Cao Kun to get the answer he wanted.

However, this answer was both unexpected and reasonable to Cao Kun.

All I can say is that Mary Shaw's methods were indeed impressive.

Now, all twenty-odd servants remaining in the manor are Mary Shaw's spies, and are utterly loyal to her.

Those who were not loyal to her were all driven out by her under various pretexts.

In other words, Mary Shaw had long since taken complete control of the estate.

Without Cao Kun's intervention, Mary Shaw could have easily tormented Sophia even without using her own supernatural powers.

Unfortunately, her hatred for the Potter family was too great. She wasn't satisfied with traditional killing; she wanted to use fright to tear open their mouths and rip out their tongues.

The only one in the manor who hasn't been bribed by Mary Shaw is Os, who was there before.

Os was kicked out because of his disloyalty to Mary Shaw.

His only loyalty was to the Potter family.

Cao Kun told Sophia the results, and Sophia was shocked and felt a wave of fear after hearing them.

If Mary Shaw had chosen a different path, no one would have known how Sofia died in the end.

Cao Kun: "She may have another reason."

Sophia: "What?"

Cao Kun: "If she wants to live a long and stable life, she will need money."

She chose this method because she thought that after killing you all, she could inherit all your family's wealth as your wife.

Sofia's expression changed.

Cao Kun added, "Previously, your brother managed the business. If he hadn't used such extreme methods, it would have been difficult for him to gain control of the finances."

Your father must have considered this as well, which is why he handed the business over to your brother ahead of time.

Sophia said with some guilt, "So, they had been preparing to protect the family all along. Only I was running away."

Cao Kun: "You can't think of it that way. Right now, aren't you saving your family?"

Sophia: "It was you, Master Cao Kun, who saved our family."

Cao Kun: "That's true. If I had known I would save such a large sum of money, I should have asked for more in the first place."

“There’s no going back in this world,” Sophia laughed. “Now, I’ll give you another chance to make money.”

"What is it?" Cao Kun asked.
