After changing the bandages for the two men, Cai Jing returned to the kitchen to brew the medicine.
He fanned himself while feeling heartbroken.
Originally, he wanted to save the money he used to buy medicine to buy a better electric scooter. His wish was already very low, but it seemed that God was deliberately working against him. As long as he saved money, no matter how much, something would always happen to make him spend it.
Three days ago, one morning, he received a call from Chen Zhe, who told him that his apprentice, Mo Xiaohao, had died. Cai Jing felt somewhat sad at the time, even though he had had this premonition for years.
He has already bought several insurance policies for his apprentices, with himself listed as the beneficiary.
But when he actually heard the news, he still felt a little sad.
So he went fishing at the confluence of the river and the sea.
I wanted to use this to relieve my depression and pain.
Unexpectedly, while fishing, they saw two people floating in the water ahead.
He pulled it over and realized that it was his apprentice, Mo Xiaohao.
The two were lying on the wooden plank, with Mo Xiaohao holding a woman's hand. Both were unconscious. Cai Jing was surprised to see Ye Lihong's face and took them back to his small house.
He originally wanted to call Chen Zhe to tell him about it, but hesitated when he picked up his phone.
[It seems that even having Xiao Hao by his side can't change his short-lived fate. Maybe we should wait a little longer...]
Cai Jing entrusted Mo Xiaohao to Chen Zhe mainly because he wanted to use Chen Zhe's destiny to change Mo Xiaohao's destiny. If Mo Xiaohao's destiny could be changed, then he, as the person most closely connected with him, would also be changed.
That was his idea.
But now that Mo Xiaohao and Chen Zhe have encountered such a dangerous situation so soon, Cai Jing is starting to doubt whether his initial decision was right or wrong.
Especially after seeing the face of the woman with Mo Xiaohao, Cai Jing had another idea.
In the end, he still did not contact Chen Zhe.
Cai Jing was brewing medicine. Inside the room, Ye Lihong slowly opened her eyes.
The unfamiliar surroundings surprised her. She had thought she was going to die, but the pain in her body told her that she was still alive.
[Where am I? Didn't I fall into the water?]
Ye Hong tried hard to recall the memory of falling into the water.
She tried desperately to swim to the shore, but her injuries were too severe, and she couldn't move at all. In addition, the river was very fast, and she tried for a long time but couldn't make it.
Just as she was about to sink to the bottom of the water, a large hand suddenly grabbed her hand. She still remembered what that man had said.
[Holy crap! I caught him!! I caught the killer!]
She then lost all her memory.
She struggled to get up and saw a man lying on another bed.
[Is it him?]
She struggled to get up, wanting to make sure she was safe.
At this moment, Cai Jing walked in carrying the medicine.
He was startled when he saw Ye Lihong's actions.
Because Ye Lihong was holding a dagger to Mo Xiaohao's neck.
"Oh my god! Stop!! Stop!!"
He rushed over and snatched the knife from Ye Lihong's hand.
"What are you doing? I saved you, why are you trying to kill my disciple?"
Ye Hong was knocked aside, clutching her wounds as she looked at Cai Jing; "He wants to arrest me, so I can't let him stay."
Cai Jingqi threw the dagger aside.
"You're completely unreasonable. You're injured like this and you still want to kill someone. Who are you anyway?"
Ye Hong paused for a moment.
The old man doesn't seem to know he's an assassin.
"You don't need to know who I am, I'm leaving."
She clutched her wound and tried to leave, but she fell to the ground after only a few steps.
"Hmph, you think you can leave injured like this? Young man, you're so impulsive!"
Cai Jing didn't go over to help her up; instead, he checked on his apprentice, Mo Xiaohao, first.
Fortunately, the dagger only grazed my skin a little.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but curse again.
"You're really something! You even killed your savior. I went through so much trouble to bring Xiao Hao back to life. If you kill him, won't all the money I spent on medicine be wasted?"
Ye Lihong didn't say anything. She tried to sit up and then sat down to one side.
She knew very well that she couldn't leave in her current state.
Give me the medicine, and I'll give you the money!
Ye Lihong is used to talking about transactions, not feelings, and she can't say a word of thanks.
Cai Jing is a person who loves money, but he knows that his destiny is not to hold onto money.
"Forget it, I can't spend it even if you give it to me. I only have one condition for you: don't kill us."
Ye Lihong hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
It was evening.
Mo Xiaohao finally woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw the familiar room. His body was in pain, and he instinctively called out "Master."
Cai Jing walked over.
"Xiao Hao, you're finally awake! You scared me to death."
"Master, how did I get back here? Am I dead, or are you dead?"
"Don't curse me. I'm a long-lived person, how could I die so easily? I saw you floating on the water, so I rescued you."
"We... Oh, right!! Did I catch the killer?"
Mo Xiaohao shouted excitedly.
His excitement aggravated his injuries, causing him to howl again.
"An assassin? You're saying that person is an assassin?"
"Yes! Master, have you seen her?"
Cai Jing stroked his beard and looked towards the door, realizing what was happening.
[No wonder! No wonder her Seven Killings Fate is so strong, she's actually an assassin...]
"Master, did you see it?"
Mo Xiaohao asked eagerly.
"I see her, she's right outside the door?"
"What? Then hurry up and call Manager Chen! Just say that I caught him, and he'll definitely promote me!"
Cai Jing tapped him on the head.
Why is that all you can think about?
Mo Xiaohao said speechlessly, "Didn't you tell me to work hard and strive for advancement? What's wrong with wanting a promotion?"
"Let's talk about this later. You should focus on recovering first."
He comforted Mo Xiaohao.
Cai Jing arrived at the door.
He saw Ye Lihong sitting on a rock, holding something in her hand and looking at it.
He walked over, and sensing someone approaching, Ye Lihong stuffed the photo back into her pocket.
Cai Jing chuckled.
"I don't even know your name?"
Ye Lihong didn't want to talk to Cai Jing, but remembering that he was her savior, she replied anyway.
"I have no name."
"It is impossible for a person to be without a name; everyone has a name."
"They call me Night Red, which means 'seeing blood at night,' because I'm used to killing people at night."
Knowing that the other party was an assassin, Cai Jing was not surprised by Ye Lihong's words.
“Miss Hong, our meeting is fate. To be honest, I am a feng shui master and I am very good at fortune telling. I can tell from your face that you are not a simple person.”
Ye Hong stared at Cai Jing for several seconds.
"You want to tell my fortune?"
She asked directly.
Cai Jing smiled and shook his head; "No, some people's fates can be predicted, but some people's fates are not. With Miss Hong's appearance, even if I, an old man, were to predict it for you, the accuracy rate would not be high."
Ye Lihong let out a rare laugh.
"Then why are you saying this nonsense?"
"Hehe, although I can't see the future clearly, I know what you care about."
"What I care about?"
"right!"
"I'm sorry, but you even miscalculated something I didn't pay attention to."
Cai Jing pointed to her pocket.
"are you sure?"
Ye Hong hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Then tell me."
"Girl, you have the Seven Killings destiny, which means you are destined to harm your parents and have very weak family ties. It is difficult for you to have family affection in your life. Even if you are lucky enough to have it for a while, it will disappear because of you. So what you crave is family affection, which is something you cannot obtain."
Cai Jing's insightful observation deeply impressed Ye Lihong; the old man was right.
She was abused by her adoptive parents from a young age, and after she became aware of things, they sold her to human traffickers, who then sold her to Killer Island.
She experienced many hardships that ordinary people cannot understand from a young age. She hated her adoptive parents and her biological parents.
But she also desperately wanted their love, and this conflicting feeling tormented her.
She cried the moment she killed her adoptive parents. It was the first time she had cried since she became an adult. Although they had abused her and sold her, they were still the people she had called "Mom" and "Dad" for several years.
Killing those two people with her own hands caused her immense torment, which is why she hesitated to kill her biological parents when they were facing them.
Although I hate them very much.
But when she saw her biological mother being shot, she instinctively went to shield her with her body.
At that time, she didn't even know what she was thinking.
All she knew was that in the moment she ran away, she tucked the photo into her bosom.
Because that photo was the only moment she felt loved.
My eyes were red and a little wet at night.
Cai Jing knew he was right.
He continued, “Red Girl, I can help you. You yearn for family, and I can help you with that.”
"you?"
Ye Lihong looked at Cai Jing with suspicion.
Cai Jing smiled and said, "That's right, your Seven Killings destiny is very strong. No matter who is with you, they will be implicated by you. You cannot marry an ordinary person. However, my disciple's destiny is just right to match yours. He is a short-lived ghost. One of you has a strong destiny and the other has a short life. You are a perfect match."
This remark made Ye Lihong laugh.
"Old man, although I don't understand your things about fate and such, something about what you just said sounded wrong to me. You said I have a strong fate and he has a short life. To put it bluntly, wouldn't he die even faster if he were with me?"
"Haha, that's how it should be in theory, but if you add someone in between, will your relationship become very harmonious?"
"What??? You're not talking about you, are you?"
Ye Lihong looked at Cai Jing with a disgusted expression.
Cai Jin knew she had misunderstood when he saw her look, so he quickly explained, "It's not what you think. What I mean is that you two are missing a benefactor. As long as you two are together and stay by this benefactor's side, everything will turn out well."
Who are you talking about?
Ye Lihong asked curiously.
"Hehe, you all know that person, his name is Chen Zhe."
Upon hearing Chen Zhe's name, Ye Lihong's face suddenly changed.
Her eyes turned cold.
She overheard her parents' conversation and learned that the reason they abandoned her was because they wanted Chen Zhe, their so-called younger brother. She could say that all her misfortunes were because of Chen Zhe.
"That's enough. If you dare say another word, I'll kill you right now."
