Chapter 85 Departure
As Lu Yao meticulously analyzed the situation, Liu Cong's suspicions were laid bare before everyone, like an onion being peeled back.
His face turned from pale to ashen, and his bloodshot eyes stared intently at Lu Yao, as if he wanted to devour her alive.
At this moment, Ding Yu believed about 80% of what Lu Yao said.
Lu Yao's voice was calm yet extremely penetrating: "This is clearly a self-directed and self-acted kidnapping farce, a clumsy performance by the husband in an attempt to use his daughter as a bargaining chip to coerce his wife into submission."
"Liu Cong, how dare you? How could you bear to harm your own daughter? She's your own flesh and blood!"
Ding Yu's voice was like a sharp knife piercing the air, and tears welled up in her eyes.
[My God! Even tigers don't eat their cubs, how could this person be so heartless and insane?]
[Look at that guy's expression, he's practically begging to be seen, there's definitely something fishy going on!]
The police quickly formed a perimeter, and Liu Cong was pinned against the wall like a trapped animal.
Ding Yu, like an enraged lioness, charged forward recklessly, her raised hand drawing an arc in the air.
Snap!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the room.
The interrogation room was brightly lit and glaringly white.
Liu Cong initially stubbornly tried to argue, but when Lu Yao accurately revealed the location of the warehouse where he hid his daughter, his expression instantly collapsed.
Finally, he lowered his head and admitted his crime.
It turns out that he did indeed have a huge conflict with Ding Yu over the issue of having a second child.
Seeing that his marriage was on the verge of collapse, he became so blinded by greed that he came up with this incredibly foolish idea.
He attempted to use this to salvage his marriage and win back Ding Yu's heart so she would have a second child.
"I didn't hurt Cancan, I just wanted Ding Yu to change her mind!" Liu Cong roared indignantly, "Why can she just say she doesn't want to have children? Don't I have the right to reproduce? I just want a child with my surname!"
Anger surged up in Ding Yu's heart again, and a second slap interrupted Liu Cong's roar.
"Yes, you don't! Without a uterus, you have no right to reproduce. Besides, from the moment you used your daughter as a bargaining chip, you forever lost the right to be a father!"
Ding Yu's words were like knives, and Liu Cong personally destroyed this marriage at that moment.
Based on Liu Cong's confession, the police quickly located Ding Can.
When the police pushed open the iron gate of the abandoned warehouse, Ding Can was huddled in a corner, clutching a dirty rag doll tightly in his arms.
The little girl burst into tears the moment she saw her mother.
Ding Yu knelt down and hugged her daughter tightly, experiencing the joy of having her back after losing her.
The mother and daughter embraced tightly, as if the whole world had shrunk to just the two of them.
In the cold interrogation room, Liu Cong stared blankly at the confession.
The cold light reflected from the handcuffs shone on his ashen face, revealing the ugliest appearance of a husband and a father.
The live stream chat was filled with cheers and excitement.
[The host is amazing! From facial features to reasoning, every detail is intricately linked, uncovering this ugly truth clearly.]
This man absolutely must go to jail. I hope the law will give him the punishment he deserves.
[Hopefully, the child won't suffer any psychological trauma and will have a smooth and successful life from now on~]
...
After the broadcast ended, Lu Yao sat cross-legged under the starry sky to meditate and cultivate.
A gentle night breeze blows, and the Milky Way hangs low.
She looked up at the sky, feeling the spiritual energy flowing between heaven and earth.
Indeed, as Lingji said, the spiritual energy here is clear and pure, far surpassing that of the city filled with turbid air.
Seeing this, Youqing quickly sat down next to her, crossed her legs, and closed her eyes tightly.
But after only a moment, she couldn't help but twist her body, and her eyelids trembled slightly.
"Calm down." Lu Yao's voice was like a gentle breeze. "Heaven is the cauldron of heaven, and earth is the furnace of earth."
You Qing was startled and quickly recited it silently in her mind.
Strangely enough, these few words seemed to have a magical power, gradually calming her restless heart.
"Gathering the essence of the sun and collecting the dew of the moon."
As Lu Yao continued reciting, You Qing suddenly felt a cool sensation seep into her Baihui acupoint, flowing through her entire body like a clear spring.
To her surprise, she discovered that it was the legendary spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
Youqing's eyelashes trembled slightly as she truly touched the threshold of cultivation for the first time.
At three-quarters past the hour of Yin (3:45 AM), all was quiet.
Lu Yao closed her eyes and concentrated, and a wisp of her primordial spirit drifted out from the top of her head, riding the night wind straight up to the ninth heaven.
She flew straight towards Broken Soul Ridge.
The moonlight, like water, shone on the nine human-shaped stone tablets.
Despite being eroded by wind and frost for a thousand years, the monument is covered with spiderweb-like cracks, yet it still stands stubbornly atop the cliff.
Lu Yao gracefully landed in front of the first monument—the Throat-Locking Monument. The pale moonlight made the mottled bloodstains on the monument particularly glaring.
"It's you."
She gently stroked the monument, feeling a chilling coldness in her palm.
The inscription on the stele has long been blurred and illegible, but the deep fingerprints seem to tell the story of the resolute determination of the righteous man who shook the stele back then.
Lu Yao made hand gestures and chanted incantations, her voice flowing like a clear spring:
"A single thread of fate connects us, revealing traces of our existence across two realms. The Three Pure Ones lend their divine eyes, searching for human habitation in all directions."
As soon as the incantation was finished, the monument suddenly trembled slightly.
A luminous green light slowly rose from the crack.
After circling three times in her palm, it suddenly transformed into a streak of light that streaked across the night sky, falling southeast like a comet.
Lu Yao gazed intently into the distance, imprinting that trajectory firmly in her heart.
The night breeze brushed against her soul, bringing a familiar scent.
That's the person she's looking for.
When her spirit returned to its place, the morning dew was condensing on Lu Yao's eyelashes.
She slowly opened her eyes. The courtyard was still quiet, with only the rustling sound of the mountain wind gently caressing the pear trees.
Turning my head, I saw Youqing lying on the futon, fast asleep, with glistening drool hanging from the corner of her mouth.
Lu Yao chuckled and took a thin blanket to gently cover the young Taoist boy.
The first light of dawn was breaking in the east, and she looked towards the southeast.
It's time to set off to find our benefactor.
