The Good Person 014

After hanging up the phone, Li Lie turned back to look at the girl still playing video games and couldn’t help but sigh.

“Li Lie, go buy me some cola!”

“Come on, we both have the surname Li. Can’t you go easy on me?”

“No way! You promised to play along in this kidnapping act!” The girl pouted, looking rather cute. “I just feel like my second sister has changed, like she’s become a completely different person... Even though she’s still nice to me, she definitely isn’t my second sister.”

Li Lie scratched his head, not really understanding what she meant. He just knew that Mr. Fang had arranged for him to get in touch with this girl earlier, and he thought she was a big client. Turns out, she was just a spoiled young lady.

Oh well, since Mr. Fang arranged it, he’d just do his job.

“What kind of cola do you want?”

At Fang Zhiyi’s villa.

“Ahem, this time our association has invited friends from all walks of society to showcase our achievements.” Wei Wuyang looked every bit like a true hermit master. After intense practice recently, he no longer had the aura of a cult leader from before but instead radiated an ethereal, immortal vibe.

The lights dimmed, and the projector began to work.

What appeared on the screen was none other than Fang Zhiyi’s family!

“The rebellious son, who can’t even recognize all the characters, refuses to come home,” Wei Wuyang introduced as Fang Zhiyan appeared on screen, active in the streets.

“The nagging mother, who uses her own hardships to guilt-trip her children, putting immense pressure on them.” He Huiqing’s figure appeared, her constant chatter making everyone present feel a wave of irritation.

“The gambling father, who ignores the family entirely.” Fang Shaohua also appeared.

“Everyone here must have some insight into such a family, after all, those sitting here today are either struggling with career setbacks, rebellious children, or marital discord... Next, please watch our multi-day tracking footage of the change plan.”

Seeing Fang Zhiyan being forced to study by thugs, the audience erupted in laughter—the scene was too bizarre. Then they watched as Fang Shaohua, through a setup involving different people, lost money repeatedly until he began to doubt his own judgment.

Finally, the last figure shown on screen was none other than Wei Wuyang.

The editing was clever, skipping over the repeated brainwashing by him and his helpers. In the end, He Huiqing appeared beaming, repeatedly assuring everyone that she had been purified and would be a good mother and wife. Even the hostility from before was completely gone.

Only Wei Wuyang knew how difficult this was. He’d spent days continuously brainwashing He Huiqing.

“Now, everyone, please watch... a live broadcast from this family.”

The screen flickered, and the signal gradually stabilized.

The camera was clearly installed secretly but could just capture the Fang family’s situation.

Fang Shaohua wore an apron, cooking and humming a tune. Fang Zhiyan frowned as he looked at a book, looking troubled but persisting. When the door opened, He Huiqing returned home with a smile.

Fang Shaohua greeted his wife cheerfully upon seeing her. He Huiqing first hugged him and then turned to pat her son’s head, showering him with praise.

This live broadcast lasted a long time, and the content was dull—just the ordinary life of an average family.

But as the indoor lights came on, the conference room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

Everyone was talking, and the meeting room set up from the living room buzzed with noise.

Following Fang Zhiyi’s instructions, Wei Wuyang didn’t stop them but just smiled and watched. Sure enough, people soon noticed and fell silent voluntarily, and then more people quieted down.

“Of course, changing a person isn’t that easy. We’ll continue to follow up until these misguided individuals fully return to the right path.” Wei Wuyang felt even a bit proud.

“Also, as you all must have seen when you arrived today, look at our sign outside! We are now officially named the Return-to-Goodness Assistance Society!” As he said this, Wei Wuyang himself felt a surge of excitement.

Back then, he hadn’t understood until Fang Zhiyi scolded him for having a dog’s brain.

“If you want to run a legitimate business, you have to register! Without registration, it’s illegal!”

After that, the pre-arranged trainees stepped up one by one to talk about their past and present.

“I used to be this fat,” a girl said, holding up a large photo for everyone to see without a trace of self-pity. “They all made fun of me and bullied me, but ever since I came here, I’ve lost weight and regained my confidence! I want to thank Master Wei!”

Heixiao muttered, “Eating cabbage every day, how could you not lose weight?”

The audience applauded.

Then a bespectacled man stepped up. It was clear some in the audience recognized him.

The man waved, then locked his gaze on Fang Zhiyi sitting in the corner. “Ladies and gentleman, I was once a failure in my career. It was Master Fang who personally guided me and reignited my confidence. Following Master Fang’s direction, I’ve taken back everything that belongs to me!”

If Li Lie had been present, he would have recognized this man as one of the two who had come to see Fang Zhiyi the other day.

“Today, I’m especially here to thank our Assistance Society. As a token of gratitude, I’m donating one million dollars!”

Thunderous applause rang out.

Many core members widened their eyes. Although they had started making money with Fang Zhiyi, it wasn’t much ha. Yet after daily brainwashing, they had convinced themselves that doing good deeds was worthwhile and stopped caring about the money.

But today, suddenly seeing such a huge sum, everyone was stunned.

Fortunately, Wei Wuyang on stage knew about this in advance. Though excited, he didn’t show it.

“Today, we’re announcing something new! We’re launching new business segments, including!”

“Intensive weight-loss boot camp!”

“Career revival training class!”

“Spiritual purification special course!”

“We’re also recruiting students from the public to help everyone better handle family conflicts, estrangement between parents and children, and find direction in life!”

Heixiao muttered again, “Might as well call them ‘Parental Behavior Correction for Bad Parents’ and ‘Rebellious Child Correction Class’...”

Fang Zhiyi smiled and said, “Then no one would come.”

“You know, you seem really strange to me now. I feel like you’re running a cult, but then again, it doesn’t feel like one...”

“I’ve told you before, a knife can kill or save lives. It all depends on who’s holding it.” Fang Zhiyi said this with profound meaning, glancing at the original owner’s dazed soul.

He had been a bit uncomfortable at first, with a ghost following Heixiao around everywhere, but over time, it just became normal.

The cult’s downfall happened faster than Fang Zhiyi had imagined, largely because of his earlier big scene. Many core members had left, and while Wu Lianggen yelled for revenge, he dared not offend the Li Group and had no time to deal with this Return-to-Goodness Assistance Society.

But what he hadn’t expected was that the Li Group came looking for him proactively, claiming he had kidnapped their third young miss. Wu Lianggen had no way to even defend himself.
