Chapter 174 Massacre in the ghost lands Part 2

Under the prying eyes of the crowd, Su Lin casually stepped forward and peeled a thick layer of what looked like skin from the poor victim's face.

At least that's what everybody saw.

In reality, Su Lin used the power of her cultivation base and removed the dead and dried up skin cells from the woman's face.

She even used a bit of her spiritual energy to heal the damaged blood vessels and underlying tissues.

But all of this happened in a split second. And all everyone could see or assume was her peeling off the makeup from the scheming woman's face.

What the hell? Everyone gasped in shock.

Once the dreadful looking dry and withered skin was peeled off, a rosy fresh baby soft skin was revealed.

Her features were not that exquisite but the supple smooth face was even visibly better maintained and flawless compared to several faces in the crowd.

This woman was not really disfigured?? She was only acting for the sake of spreading rumors and slandering??

The customers were shocked. The reporters were shocked. Ning Xuelo looked devasted. And the victim herself looked completely flabbergasted!

What the hell just happened?? She repeatedly touched her face and even pinched herself. Was this really happening?

How can my skin be so smooth and fresh? But what about the burnt area?

How the heck did it disappear in a second?

Damn it. She was acting. But the injuries were real!! How the hell did they disappear??

She couldn't make heads or tails of what was happening.

Should she be happy that her traumatizing injury had actually been magically cured or should she be sad that her mission failed?

She did this for money after all! And ironically the money was for plastic surgery expenses!!

Once Su Lin was done removing all the special makeup or rather the actual injured skin, she plastered a huge smile on her face and turned around to face the reporters.

"Does this answer all your questions?"

The reporters couldn't even bring themselves to say anything and just dumbly nodded.

What can they say? The entire scheme was just dismantled piece by piece right in front of their eyes!

"As you can see, her natural skin is very smooth and fresh. There aren't even any visible blemishes or black heads."

"And she claims that she used our products regularly, so... " Su Lin shrugged her shoulders and leaned on the wall, allowing the facts to slowly settle in.

Now that the bomb looked like it was almost diffused completely, Runyan and the salesgirls snapped out of it and started appeasing the various customers.

The reporters snapped out of it as well and started looking for the woman who cried wolf, but she had silently slipped out of the shop.

Mostly because Su Lin let her do it.

With the source of the commotion gone, peace and quiet returned to the shop.

Everyone awkwardly ignored the event that had just transpired a few seconds ago and busied themselves with their shopping.

Even some of the reporters ended up browsing the shop and purchased one or two products.

Ning Xuelo and her friend silently left the shop, cursing Su Lin under their breath.

"Hmph. Your little shop might be fine for now. But, we will see if it is still standing after a month! How can a useless thing like you make anything good??" She indignantly muttered and ran away at full speed.

The rest of the day was pretty uneventful with customers trickling in and out of the shop throughout the day.

Fortunately, no other special incidents occurred.

Runyan decided to stay back and man the outlet for a couple more days to make sure everything was picture perfect.

She could do all her work from the manager's room indoors. So it didn't matter where she worked from.

And Su Lin returned back to the company headquarters to work on their next project.

Now that the cosmetic outlet was smoothly functioning, she wanted to focus next on their own unique line of SPAs.

..............

In other parts of the city...

"Are you sure?" Shi Meng's tired voice sounded.

Assistant Yang hesitantly nodded his head. The old madam was too unrestrained for her own good. Sigh.

The temperature in the room dropped several degrees as if the northern wind had just assaulted them.

"Why mom why."

Shi Meng clutched his hair and flopped his head on the table with a bang.

All the women in his life were driving him fucking crazy!!!

He had repeatedly begged his mother today morning to not interfere with Su Lin, but what did she do?

She not only paid someone to tarnish their image but in the end actually ended up as cannon fodder, resulting in free publicity for her and her company.

All he wanted was to stay away from that monster and his mother was just not taking the hint!

Well, he was actually happy about this outcome. At least this way, Su Lin wouldn't be too mad at him or his mother.

Shi Meng suddenly lifted his head up and looked straight. There was a vaguely visible haze in his eyes.

Su Lin, she ... How come she never really lost her temper with him and his mother?

Shi Meng never had a good impression of her in the past and decisively ignored her every chance he got.

Their entire marriage was a scam. His grandfather had emotionally blackmailed him into marriage and he hated her because of it.

He always thought that she entered their family with ill intentions.

But why did she never leave?

She had stayed with him until the bitter end and only left when they had gotten a divorce.

As his tired brain reminisced the past, he couldn't help but wonder... Did she actually sincerely love me?
