☆, Chapter 106 Stolen
As Yu Jiuyin spoke, he held the ghost doll in his arms and coaxed him carefully. In the end, seeing that he still couldn't calm down, he simply cut his fingertips and fed him some of his own blood.
The Ghost Dao Heavenly Master's blood naturally soothes evil spirits, and with Yu Jiuyin holding him, the ghost doll whimpered and fussed for a long time before finally falling asleep in Yu Jiuyin's arms. Yu Jiuyin made sure he wouldn't wake up, so she carried him inside. However, upon entering, the overwhelming ghost energy inside overwhelmed him.
Rongqing took a step forward to help Yu Jiuyin block the evil spirit, but was quickly pushed away by the tall woman who came out.
"How come you have a new problem when the old one hasn't healed yet?" The woman glanced at Yu Jiuyin's wrist, and her frown deepened.
Yu Jiuyin didn't say anything, and looked a little guilty with his head down.
The woman couldn't do anything about him. Finally, she snorted coldly and led him in. "Ask him, he'll tell you anything."
"Talk to Jiu'er nicely." The young man shook his head disapprovingly at the woman, then said to Yu Jiuyin, "Jiu'er, your godmother is worried about you."
"I know." Yu Jiuyin felt a little embarrassed and said "I'm sorry" to the woman.
The woman also sighed, "Just because you're not going to die doesn't mean you won't feel any pain. Be nice to yourself. If you do it again, I'll beat you up."
Yu Jiuyin tilted his head and laughed heartlessly.
The woman could only pinch his face fiercely, "You only know how to feel sorry for others, when will you feel sorry for yourself?"
"I know." This time, Yu Jiuyin let out a long syllable, a hint of coquettishness. Women were most drawn out by his sweet, sweet look, so naturally, his anger was not aroused.
Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing also took the opportunity to interrogate Shen Tianlan and her husband. In fact, the information they found was similar to what Rongqing and Yu Jiuyin had found at the Yu family. However, the biggest difference was Yu Jiuyin's background.
"We didn't buy you from the black market, but stole you from the Siren Orphanage." Shen Tianlan's tone was full of fear.
She was actually afraid, but after giving birth to Yu Yongqing, she had changed and was no longer afraid. But even so, when the truth was revealed, she could still recall the most secret fear in her heart.
Shen Tianlan told Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing an experience that was comparable to a ghost story.
"Can you believe it? Seventy years ago, the Yu family was no longer the Yu family, hahahahahaha." Shen Tianlan seemed a little crazy as she completely filled in the past, including what Yu Yongqing's grandfather hadn't written in his diary.
Simply put, it's a case of using someone else's money to replace someone else's. Yu Yongqing's grandfather, after undergoing rehabilitation at the Siren Orphanage, was adopted by the Yu family and given the identity of the Yu family's adopted son. But in reality, this was a scam, a scheme used by the Siren Orphanage to amass wealth.
They seek out wealthy families with few descendants, inflict some horrific and potentially fatal consequences, and then pretend to be skilled and capable individuals who can solve the problem. After gaining their trust, they tell them that the child will not survive past the age of fifteen. The only solution is to find twins who can save their lives.
The so-called twins are children born on the same day, month, and year, even down to the exact second of their birth. Based on the difference in yin and yang, if a child from a wealthy family has a bad fate, then the opposite one will surely be extremely wealthy.
"This is impossible." Yu Jiuyin immediately heard something strange.
"Yes, it's indeed ridiculous, isn't it? But with just a little bit of sorcery, they can easily achieve their goal. In the next few years, those people will find some children of similar age to train individually as replacements. Yu Yongqing's grandfather was the Yu family's replacement. They changed Yongqing's grandfather's appearance, making him look exactly like the real eldest son of the Yu family, and then replaced him. Then, the things he obtained in the Siren Orphanage will definitely help him seize the Yu family's property, and eventually become the orphanage's financial support."
"That's why you stole me from the orphanage"
"Yes, there is a way to save his life." Shen Tianlan couldn't help but sneer, "I wonder if it's because Yongqing's grandfather did too many unscrupulous things, so the retribution fell directly on his grandson. I was pregnant at the time, and the fetus was unstable, so I had to stay in bed to protect the fetus. But when the baby was eight months old, the doctor suddenly told me that it was deformed."
"Later, in order to restore the child's health, Yongqing's grandfather chose to take a risk. You saw that the method of exchanging lives was no less arduous than raising a Gu. Moreover, the person whose life was exchanged in the future may not actually get what they want. Don't blame me for hating you, because you killed my firstborn child."
What happened next was actually pretty much the same as what Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing had guessed.
To put it simply, Shen Tianlan and Yu Yongqing's grandfather stole Yu Jiuyin from the Siren Orphanage, but failed to exchange her life, and then they resented Yu Jiuyin.
"So what you're saying is that when you stole me, the Siren Orphanage was already defunct in name only."
"Anything on the sea can be overturned by a tsunami. Otherwise, how could Yongqing's grandfather have stolen you? You are the only one of that group of children who managed to survive."
"Whose life did Yu Yongqing exchange for? If the Siren Orphanage didn't exist, why did you keep staring at me? This is different from what you said before."
"It's because I bought the child on the black market that could exchange Yongqing's life that I'm spying on you. We suspect the Siren Orphanage is still there, or perhaps someone managed to escape the tsunami. After all, who knows what those things are there."
Mentioning the tsunami, Shen Tianlan felt a little frightened. Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing, however, exchanged a glance, thinking that perhaps what they were saying was true. For example, the ages of the suspects or those involved in their recent cases matched those of the tsunami.
Yu Jiuyin suddenly remembered the first time he had obtained the book on exorcism. The seal on the back certainly looked like it had been blurred by water. The same was true of the script, as well as the bronze mirror of the skin-peeling woman, which had a rusty color from the corrosion of seawater.
At this point, they couldn't get any more out of Shen Tianlan. Yu Jiuyin and Rongqing left together, but the look on their faces never softened. Yu Jiuyin even felt an indescribable sense of absurdity.
Although not being a real member of the Yu family relieved Yu Jiuyin's previous feeling of being forced to die by his biological parents, the emptiness and ridiculousness that followed made Yu Jiuyin particularly uncomfortable.
Yu Jiuyin didn't hate them before, it was just because he felt that he owed the Yu family a debt of karma. But now someone told him that he had nothing to do with the Yu family, and even that Yu Jiuyin had ulterior motives when he stole him out in the first place.
This is also the reason why Yu Jiuyin’s master was furious before, and why the boy and the woman could not control themselves and used severe punishment on Shen Tianlan in front of the ghost doll.
Yu Jiuyin came out of the basement and went straight out of the serious crime squad. Rongqing hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him.
At the gate, Yu Jiuyin leaned against the railing, not knowing what he was thinking about, but unexpectedly there was a pack of cigarettes in his hand.
"Do you smoke?" Rongqing asked curiously.
Yu Jiuyin looked at it for a while, then put it back in his pocket, "I've quit smoking for a long time."
"Go ahead and smoke if you want."
"No." Yu Jiuyin closed his eyes and suddenly lowered his head, lying on Rongqing's back and burying his head in Rongqing's shoulder.
"Tired" he muttered softly, but Rongqing heard a hint of grievance in it, and her heart softened.
"I'll take you back to sleep for a while." Rongqing's voice was particularly gentle as he touched Yu Jiuyin's hair.
"Then let's go to your house." Yu Jiuyin still didn't look up, but Rongqing understood what he meant.
"Well, I'll take you home."
There was no conversation along the way, and Yu Jiuyin fell asleep almost as soon as he entered the Rong family's door.
"Mr. Yu, what's going on?" The butler rarely saw Yu Jiuyin like this.
"Don't worry about it. Give everyone else a day off. Don't leave anyone else in the house these two days." Looking at Yu Jiuyin sleeping soundly on the sofa, Rongqing touched his face, finally sighed, and said nothing. But just when he wanted to go upstairs to get the quilt, his hand was held by Yu Jiuyin.
"Don't go, stay here for a while." Yu Jiuyin's rare fragility made Rongqing more and more worried.
He lowered his head and looked at Yu Jiuyin. Under the moonlight, Yu Jiuyin's expression was very calm, but Rongqing always felt that he was about to cry.
"Jiuyin, don't be sad. The past is the past. You have me in the future." Rongqing comforted him in a low voice, and the next second, Yu Jiuyin raised his hand and grabbed the back of his head, and then Yu Jiuyin's lips kissed him directly.
Rongqing was stunned at first, then he reached out and hugged the person in his arms, and kissed him back firmly.
In a night like this, no amount of words could compare to the warmth of body heat. And for Yu Jiuyin right now, only this kind of warmth could help him calm down quickly.
Leaning in Rongqing's arms, Yu Jiuyin felt incredibly comfortable, even relaxed. But then, Yu Jiuyin suddenly realized that Rongqing seemed to have a special quality that always soothed him when he lost control, just like Yu Jiuyin could soothe those evil spirits. Rongqing, a natural-born demon, could actually soothe Yu Jiuyin, a master of the demonic ways.
After looking at Rongqing in surprise for a while, Yu Jiuyin was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"Rongrong, we are indeed a perfect match."
The short night passed quickly, but the cases piled up and had to be solved. When the next morning arrived on time, Yu Jiuyin had finally returned to his normal state.
However, as he was going downstairs, he unexpectedly heard a long-lost noise. When he reached the first floor, he saw his master sitting at the dining table, carelessly directing Rongqing to serve him porridge and buns. He kept muttering, "Xiaorong, call me master, and I will teach you how to eat Xiaojiu'er."
Rong Qing remained silent throughout, as if he was no longer calm about Master Yu Jiuyin's behavior.
However, Yu Jiuyin wished he could just jump down and fight the old man for three hundred rounds.
"Who told you to tease my Rongrong?"
