Yuanman lives in the countryside with her coffin maker grandpa, never imagining that one day she would be taken back by the richest family in S City, the Jiang family.
But they called her and...
Qi Chuhan didn't want to make this call for Jiang Hengzhi. After all, if Jiang Hengzhi really was Nan Yuanman's second uncle, why didn't he have Nan Yuanman's contact information? Why did she have to make the call for him?
But her duty compelled her to help the people, especially after learning from the doctor that Jiang Hengzhi's leg muscles and tendons were completely damaged and he had no chance of standing up. Out of compassion, she agreed to his request.
In fact, after learning that he might never be able to stand up again, Jiang Hengzhi made no less than a hundred phone calls to Nan Yuanman.
He couldn't believe his legs were ruined. He knew he was like this because some evil entity was controlling him.
Since that's the case, and Nan Yuanman is a Celestial Master, she must have a way to save him!
But each time, instead of Nan Yuanman's soft, childlike voice, a cold, mechanical female voice came from the other end of the phone.
He belatedly realized that Nan Yuanman had blocked him.
He had no choice but to seek help from the public officials who had brought them out, which led to this phone call.
When Jiang Hengzhi saw Nan Yuanman on the screen, his eyes lit up. Like a drowning person grabbing at a last straw, he hurriedly said, "Yuanman! Please help your second uncle."
"My second uncle's legs are so badly injured that he can't stand up. You're a Taoist priest, you must have a solution, right?"
"Second Uncle knows that what I did hurt you. Second Uncle knows he was wrong. Second Uncle is a bastard. But I'm still so young. I don't want to be a disabled person who can't walk properly, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life in a wheelchair. Please, help me."
Qi Chuhan frowned slightly and glanced at Jiang Hengzhi with a hint of displeasure, but did not hang up the phone immediately due to her status.
Nan Yuanman blinked and tilted his head to look carefully at Jiang Hengzhi on the hospital bed.
Compared to his high spirits when they first met, Jiang Hengzhi now looked extremely disheveled. He had lost a lot of weight, was wearing a hospital gown, and had sunken eyes with heavy bruises under them, as if he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.
He looked at her, his eyes filled with hope.
Nan Yuanman raised his hand and, under Jiang Hengzhi's expectant gaze, took a screenshot of his current appearance and saved it.
Yes, she wanted to burn Jiang Hengzhi's current appearance for her mother, so she could see what would happen to those who had bullied her before.
Then, she said in a light tone, "I can't save you."
Your legs should have been ruined long ago!
Years ago, when Jiang Hengzhi was in a car accident, his legs were saved thanks to Bai Wenying's treatment and he was not crippled. However, he did not thank her properly and instead joined outsiders in bullying her. Therefore, it is normal for him to be crippled now because of outsiders.
After all, you reap what you sow.
Nan Yuanman would not waste his medicinal talisman to save him.
Jiang Hengzhi's pupils shrank dramatically, and he slammed his face closer to the screen, his voice trembling: "How...how could you say that?! Nan Yuanman, I'm your second uncle! I'm also your mother's biological brother left in this world!"
You can't not help me!
"My mom has more than one brother, and besides, if she were still alive, she wouldn't acknowledge you! Humph! What bad luck!" Nan Yuanman rolled her eyes at him angrily, then waved her paw at Qi Chuhan with a bright smile.
"Sister Qi, I've severed ties with the Jiang family! Don't bother me with their affairs anymore, okay? I'm still just a kid, I can't help them with anything."
Qi Chuhan nodded seriously: "Okay, I understand."
Nan Yuanman: "Then I'll hang up now!"
"No, no, no! Perfect! You can't hang up! You can't hang up! Perfect!" Jiang Hengzhi lunged at Qi Chuhan, reaching out to snatch her phone.
Qi Chuhan quickly grabbed her phone and moved aside. Jiang Hengzhi rushed in so fast that he tumbled off the bed and fell heavily to the ground.
"Excuse me, are you alright?" Qi Chuhan touched her nose and asked with concern as she looked at Jiang Hengzhi, who was sitting on the ground in a daze, as if he had been hurt.
Jiang Hengzhi reacted like a plucked chicken, throwing a tantrum on the ground like a child, his voice shrill: "Get out! Get out! I don't need your pity! Get out!!"
Qi Chuhan, who had offered her kind concern but was instead scolded, left grumbling.
Jiang Hengzhi sat on the ground in a daze, staring blankly at his legs that had completely lost all feeling: "How could Yuanman not help me? Why wouldn't she help me... I... I'm her uncle..."
On either side of him on the hospital beds, Jiang Lixuan, who had been quiet since waking up, suddenly chuckled: "Uncle?"
His voice was hoarse, filled with deep sarcasm: "You think you're worthy?"
"Have you forgotten what you once said and did to Yuanman?"
"Have you forgotten how you treated Ah Yin?"
"Jiang Hengzhi, how dare you beg Yuanman to save you?"
"Jiang Lixuan, shut the fuck up!" Jiang Hengzhi roared, "I was deceived by Jiang Yueyao and her daughter! It was their fault! Don't I know I was wrong now? I just apologized to her! Why, why won't she help me—!"
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Lixuan, who had gotten off the hospital bed with a gloomy expression, slapped him hard across the face: "Why should she help you? Do you even deserve her help?"
"Jiang Lixuan! You're fucking asking for it!" Jiang Hengzhi completely lost it, grabbing Jiang Lixuan's clothes and starting a fight with him.
On the other bed, Jiang Chuyun was still unconscious. Although he didn't seem to have any external injuries, his physique was weaker than Jiang Hengzhi and Jiang Lixuan.
His internal organs were also deteriorating to varying degrees, and doctors determined that he only had five years to live.
While Jiang Lixuan and Jiang Hengzhi were locked in a fierce battle, the ward door was suddenly pushed open from the outside: "Police, Jiang Hengzhi, we found your fingerprints on the female corpse in the refrigerator in the Jiang family's kitchen. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Before Jiang Hengzhi could recover from the pain, he heard the policeman's words, and the memories he had deliberately suppressed surged back into his mind, causing him to uncontrollably turn his head and vomit violently...
At the same time, Nan Yuanman, who had just hung up the phone, also received a message from Zhong Xueliu.
Zhong Xueliu: [The identity of the female corpse found in the refrigerator in the Jiang family's kitchen has been confirmed; she is Jiang Yueyao, the Jiang family's adopted daughter.]
It's unclear how Jiang Zhen managed to take the person out right under the guards' noses, or how she killed them.
In short, Jiang Yueyao is dead.
I just don't know if her ghost has gone to the underworld.
Zhong Xueliu remembered the relationship between Jiang Yueyao and Nan Yuanman that she had found in the data, so she sent her a message to let her know.
Zhong Xueliu: [By the way, Jiang Juncheng, who escaped from the Jiang family, has also been caught. However, he has lost his hands, is blind, and has lost his tongue. He's mentally unstable and doesn't know anything when asked, as if his soul has been severely damaged.]
Not only did Jiang Juncheng suffer a tragic fate, but Ge Peiyao also met a miserable end.
Jiang Zhen peeled off half of her face, and she suffered a stroke due to extreme shock, becoming paralyzed. She is currently hospitalized.
The only one who was still relatively healthy was Jiang Yunjing, who was in seclusion at the research institute researching drugs.
He didn't go back to the Jiang family during this time, and luckily escaped Jiang Zhen's harm.
Nan Yuanman never expected that Jiang Zhen, having taken over Jiang Xinxin's body, would not only cause such a terrible situation for the Jiang family, but would also steal Jiang Yueyao away.
This made it difficult for her to tell whether Jiang Zhen was a friend or foe.
Nan Yuanman scratched her head, still feeling quite conflicted. She shook her head to clear her mind of these feelings and typed in a voice message: "Sister Xue Liu, do you know about the Lord Heaven Sect?"
