Chapter 381 The Lock Wasn't Lost



Since the money's already spent, I should at least have peace of mind.

Thinking this, Feng Tianming then looked at Chu Yuying and said calmly, "Father, do you remember where our family moved from?"

“In Lianhua Village on the outskirts of Yuzhou City, we lived at No. 46 of the Third Brigade. The house we lived in was bought with your mother’s dowry.”

Chu Yuying answered fluently, as if she could see through Feng Tianming's thoughts, and said, "I understand what you are thinking... The person I possess is trustworthy, but I understand your concerns, so please ask. There are many things that only our Feng family knows."

Seeing that his father had agreed to his actions, Feng Tianming breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Thank you for your understanding, Father..."

Why did we leave Yuzhou back then?

He asked again.

"Because of a medical accident, tsk... that's not the right word, but it's close enough. I misdiagnosed someone and delayed their treatment, causing them to spend an extra 60,000 yuan to get better. After that incident, I couldn't stay in Lianhua Village anymore, and my whole family couldn't stay in the village either, so we fled to Jiang City."

Recalling this past event, Chu Yuying sighed, a sly glint flashing in her eyes that was hard for ordinary people to detect.

Of course, she had no idea why Feng Yang's family had fled from Yuzhou to Jiang City.

After all, Chu Yuying doesn't actually possess psychic abilities.

But she possesses a cheat code even more authoritative than psychic abilities...

Law enforcement officers who possess information on all residents of Jiang City!

The information provided by Xiao Yihan proved to be of great help at this moment.

Not to mention that these things could be found out with just a little investigation, even the most private matters are now known to Chu Yuying.

If she weren't absolutely certain, Chu Yuying wouldn't have chosen this method of letting the other person ask questions and then answering them herself.

After all, this secret, known only to one family, would have been a different scheme for Chu Yuying if Xiao Yihan hadn't provided the information. But since she did have the information, she naturally chose the easiest method.

"That's right..."

Feng Tianming nodded slowly, rubbing his temples. Chu Yuying answered his questions fluently, which should be enough to prove that she was now possessed by a soul.

However, the experience he had gained over the years of navigating the complexities of society subconsciously told Feng Tianming that letting this go could lead to serious problems.

He is a very serious person, and he takes his work to an extreme degree. But it is precisely because of this that he can find many oversights that his colleagues miss, thus making up for the company's losses. He has been praised by his superiors for this.

"May I have your name?"

"Feng Jianguo".

How did you and my mom meet?

"The villagers of Lianhua Village said that many people had high hopes for us back then, but they never expected that one day we would be driven out. Time has passed, things have changed, and it's quite a sad story..."

What was the most serious mistake I made as a child?

"I was playing with firecrackers with my friends and we blew up the village's sewers. It even made the news in Yuzhou and cost me a year's worth of savings. I remember beating you up pretty badly back then, but you never played with firecrackers again after that."

Upon hearing this, both Feng's mother and Feng Yang were stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Feng Tianming, who used to be incredibly serious in their eyes.

Such a serious and upright man...

They actually did something like that?

For a moment, their expressions became somewhat strange.

They blew up the sewer with firecrackers...

To be able to create such a huge mess, he truly deserves to be called the pillar of the Feng family...

"Ahem... Alright, you are indeed my father, I have no more doubts."

Feng Tianming coughed lightly, blushing slightly at the strange looks from his wife and children.

But since even this was known, Feng Tianming had no more doubts.

The Chu Yuying in front of me is definitely possessed by her father's soul.

"Since that's the case... your name is Xia, right?"

Chu Yuying raised her head slightly towards Xia Che.

"Yes, what are your orders?"

Seeing this, Xia Che, who had been sitting in a chair lost in thought, snapped out of it, met Chu Yuying's gaze, and realized that it was his turn to perform.

"The little girl I possessed told me that Yang'er's longevity lock suddenly went missing. Is that true?"

Chu Yuying pretended to be confused, and the glances exchanged between her and Xia Che in the air clearly carried an undisguised smile, but they dared not reveal it in front of the Feng family and could only suppress it bitterly.

Moreover, Xia Che was the one who was suffering the most. He knew everything, but he still had to pretend that he knew nothing. This was undoubtedly a test of his acting skills.

Xia Che felt that after this matter was over, he could even enter the entertainment industry and become an actor...

"That's true. When Feng Yang approached my boss, he mentioned this, right?"

Xia Che turned to look at Feng Yang.

"Yes, Grandpa, my longevity lock suddenly disappeared. It was very strange. I've never taken it off, but one day, I woke up and couldn't find it. It's like it vanished into thin air..."

Feng Yang lowered his head, his expression somber. This longevity lock was given to him by his grandfather, but he was the one who lost it. No matter what, the responsibility lay with him.

"Don't feel guilty. Actually, the longevity lock I gave you has never left you."

Suddenly, Chu Yuying smiled faintly, her expression somewhat unfathomable, "This thing has a spirit, how could a spirit leave its master?"

"What's the meaning?"

Feng Yang was stunned.

His parents were also stunned.

It's a well-known fact that the longevity lock is missing, but judging from what the old man is saying now...

It seems not?

"Excuse me, could you please flip over the bricks in front of you?"

Chu Yuying did not answer Feng Yang's question directly, but turned to look at Xia Che and said with a smile.

"Okay."

Xia Che knew what Chu Yuying was going to do. He quickly walked to the pile of broken bricks in front of him, bent down slightly, rummaged through them for a few moments, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise, taking something out of them, "This is... a lock?"

Xia Che picked up the object and examined it closely. After seeing the words on the jade surface, he murmured, "May you have peace year after year and may all diseases disappear."

He turned the lock over, looked at the inscription on the back, and said, "Presented to my grandson Feng Yang..."

"Is this the lock you lost?"

Xia Che, holding the longevity lock, turned to look at the bewildered Feng Yang family and asked curiously.

"You...you bring it here, you bring it here so we can see it."

Feng Yang nervously swallowed, feeling dizzy.

That longevity lock he longed for day and night...

It was never lost from beginning to end?
