Chapter 29
Before she knew it, Lingxi Si Xun had drifted far away.
She only came to her senses when Yun Qingzi spoke.
"Master, I have a book of talismans in my Taoist temple. I wonder if it would be of any use?"
"oh?"
"Why did you bring this up?"
Yun Qingzi thought that there are heavens beyond heavens and people beyond people. Without leaving Linxi Cave, one cannot see the vastness of the world and the abundance of talents.
Strength is the only true measure of success.
Everything else is insignificant.
"Since this behind-the-scenes cult is so powerful, shouldn't we also study this method as a precaution?"
"Um."
Lingxi raised her eyebrows: "I was just thinking about making talismans. Let's go back and try it after we finish our business."
"Yes, Master."
Yun Qingzi was naturally happy to agree; it wouldn't be good for him to be a burden to the sect.
Jin Moli didn't quite understand, so she ate peaches while listening to her master and junior brother talk.
In just a few bites, the peach, the size of an adult's palm, was gone.
She smacked her lips, somewhat disgusted that the peach had no peach flavor at all.
The food is bland and watery, and I have to practice my exercises diligently at night to expel the waste I've ingested.
Thinking about what would happen next, I didn't feel quite satisfied eating the peach.
A series of footsteps came from outside the ward and then stopped outside Yang Lanting's ward.
"Someone's coming!"
Yun Qingzi paused her conversation and gestured for Liu Min and her son to be reminded.
Yang Lanling walked to the door and was about to open it.
The door was opened from the outside by itself.
Yang Zhengyi, who was in a hurry, rushed into the room without even looking.
No one paid any attention to who was standing at the door.
Yang Lanling paused, and the secretary following behind Yang Zhengyi saw this and immediately stopped in his tracks, saying, "Young Master."
"Um."
As he spoke, the secretary followed Yang Lanling in.
When Yang Zhengyi rushed in, he was dumbfounded when he saw Yang Lanting sitting there drinking water.
No, he was just saying on the phone that he was unconscious.
That'll be all right now!!!
He took three steps at a time, stepped forward and patted Yang Lanting on the shoulder with such force that Yang Lanting almost died.
He was overjoyed: "Hahahaha..."
"Juan'er, is our son all better?"
"Didn't they say they hadn't found out yet?"
"Smack."
A soft sound silenced the ward for a few seconds as everyone turned to look at the source of the sound.
"Ouch." Yang Zhengyi touched his hand that had been hit.
A tall man, dressed in a black suit, had a look of grievance on his usually dignified face.
He pouted, "Min'er, why did you hit me? I was just worried about our son."
"Concerned about your son?"
Liu Min pushed Yang Zhengyi aside and angrily said, "I think you're trying to murder your own son!"
Yang Zhengyi then glanced at his son, who was clutching his chest and gasping for breath.
Suddenly, I felt a little uneasy.
"Son, are you alright?"
Yang Lanting said weakly, "If you hit me a few more times, my son will be sent back to hell just as he was leaving."
Yang Zhengyi immediately apologized: "I was too rough. Go and call the doctor over quickly so we can have a proper check-up."
"We're waiting for you to call. Director Li has finished get off work and he's coming over personally to check on Lanting."
Yang Zhengyi wasn't angry when he was rebuked. After listening, he happily praised, "My wife is the best at making preparations. She's suffered these past few days."
"That goes without saying."
Lingxi was surprised that the head of the Yang family was actually afraid of his wife in front of his family members and was quite protective of his wife and children.
No wonder this family has such a virtuous family tradition.
A look of satisfaction flashed in her eyes; saving that person was definitely the right decision.
Yun Qingzi nodded secretly, realizing that he had been saved by his master's life-saving grace, and that he might be able to help him in the future if his master encountered any trouble.
With Master's abilities, it's like adding wings to a tiger; it would be strange if their sect didn't prosper.
Hehe~
Yang Lanting didn't want to listen to her parents' flirtatious banter. She tested her hands and feet and found that they were completely unaffected and could move freely as before.
He immediately interrupted, saying, "Dad, let me introduce you to my savior."
As he spoke, he immediately got up and went there.
He walked up to Lingxi and said, "This is Master Ling, and the two beside him are his eldest and second disciples."
Yang Zhengyi turned his eyes to Liu Min.
Liu Min nodded calmly, indicating that her son was right.
"You're welcome. You should hurry up and find out the cause!"
"What!"
“On the day my son had the accident, I had all the people, items, and food he came into contact with tested and investigated, but we didn’t find anything.”
Liu Min frowned: "Now that the master has taken action, it must be a method that is not known to ordinary people. But our family respects the law and has no intention of harming others. How could we have suffered such a cruel fate?"
Just as Yang Zhengyi was about to speak, he saw the secretary standing to the side. Before he could open his mouth, the secretary went out to guard the door with a very stern expression.
The secretary standing outside the door looked completely bewildered.
Wasn't it said that the second young master was unconscious?
Then this...
The secretary looked at the three people through the glass of the ward door with suspicion, wondering how they, especially the exceptionally beautiful young woman, had managed to save the person.
I really want to know what happens next!
"It won't take long for the talisman to take effect after it's applied. You just need to investigate what happened before the incident."
Lingxi, recalling what she had just witnessed, offered her advice.
Yang Zhengyi didn't know much, and Yang Lanling knew nothing about anything except that his younger brother was lying in the hospital for unknown reasons.
When asked about the incident, Yang Lanting lowered his eyes and carefully recalled what happened that day.
Senior students don't have many classes, and Yang Lanting was relatively well-behaved that day. Apart from sleeping at school all morning, he spent the rest of the day playing games, eating takeout, and picking up packages.
While thinking, his eyes widened and he said loudly, "I received a package, but the box was empty. I didn't buy anything. Strangely, the waybill had my name, phone number, and address on it."
"Did you come into contact with anyone when you went to pick up the package? Where did you pick it up from? Who did you tell before you left?"
Yang Lanting frantically scratched his curly hair, picked up his phone and scrolled through his records. When he reached a person's name, he paused and said, "I told a classmate... about it."
"Who? A male or female classmate?" Yang Lanling narrowed his eyes and asked sharply.
"Hey, she's just an ordinary female classmate, do you think I'm a criminal?!"
Yang Lanting said somewhat displeased.
"Oh! That's the female classmate with whom I have a close relationship, let's call her a classmate for now."
"you!"
"I've already said we're just ordinary classmates, believe it or not."
Yang Lanting immediately denied it.
After saying that, he glanced somewhat guiltily at Liu Min and Yang Zhengyi.
Liu Min: ...
This silly child.
Yang Zhengyi: This kid has none of the uprightness he had when he was pursuing his mother.
Just say you like it!
Surely their open-minded parents wouldn't stop them.
Lingxi watched from the sidelines, took a sip of tea, and waited to see what would happen next.
Who did you encounter next?
"Oh, it was when I was going back to my dorm that I think I was bumped into by someone. I saw that the person was wearing a black hat and was walking in a hurry, so I thought they were in a rush and weren't paying attention to where they were going."
Liu Min: "I'll have someone investigate your female classmate right now!"
Investigating things takes time, and for a while, things reached a stalemate.
"Ah! No, she'll definitely be fine."
Yang Lanting refused to believe that she would harm him.
"Mom will ask her about the situation." Liu Min thought that this child was still thinking so much at her age.
"She likes you?"
"Ah... this... I'm still here..."
She spoke haltingly, but she already understood the situation.
Liu Min took a deep breath. This silly son of hers.
Yang Lanling picked up her phone and tapped a few times, then lightly tapped the wall with her fingers.
He felt that the focus of the matter wasn't on Yang Lanting, but rather...
Those sharp eyes swept over a spot, in that direction.
It was his father, Yang Zhengyi.
Yang Zhengyi froze as he sat down, feeling a chill.
He turned his head: "You kid, just say what's wrong, why are you looking at me like that?"
That look in his eyes made him uneasy.
Yang Lanling said calmly, "Dad, have you encountered any people or encountered any problems at the company recently?"
Yang Zhengyi racked his brains but couldn't come up with anything.
"No, I'm just working on a project that's about to launch. Your dad is busy with this all the time now."
“This project almost failed back then. It was thanks to Lao Hu's investment that it didn't work out.
Suddenly, he thought for a moment and said, "You won't doubt your Uncle Hu anymore, will you?"
The young man, with a furrow between his brows, leaned against the shadows in the corner of the wall. "That's hard to say. The closer the person is to you, the more likely it is."
"This?" Yang Zhengyi looked at Liu Min, who was also puzzled.
"Uncle Hu's son gambled away over 100 million yuan a while ago. Uncle Hu stepped in to fill that hole. Your project must require a significant investment, so how does he still have the cash flow to invest in your project?"
More than 100 million?
Tsk tsk.
Lingxi took a sip of tea to calm her nerves, thinking to herself, "The amount of money rich people owe from gambling is just different!"
That's incredibly bold.
Yun Qingzi was also surprised for a moment.
Look up and listen to what happens next.
"Gambling? I've never heard Lao Hu mention that before."
Yang Zhengyi was somewhat surprised, as his friend hadn't mentioned this to him.
"Yes, Uncle Hu used his connections to suppress this matter, and not many people know about it."
Yang Zhengyi's mind worked quickly. He realized what was wrong and shouted, "Something's not right! Something's wrong with the project!"
He said he wasn't in a hurry for this project, but Lao Hu kept urging him to move forward.
He actually thought that Lao Hu, with his impatient nature, would help him achieve some results quickly!
If the master doesn't appear now, and something happens at Lanting, he'll be running back and forth between the two places...
So, if Lao Hu were to withdraw halfway through the project, that would be a possibility.
If most of the company's submitted projects fail, the consequences will be...
Yang Zhengyi immediately made a phone call to notify the project to be suspended.
"By the way, don't inform Mr. Hu's people yet."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Zhengyi remained silent for a moment, then looked up and met Liu Min's worried gaze.
He laughed and said magnanimously, "Heh!"
"It's nothing serious. Thanks to the master for discovering the problem in advance, that's a good thing!"
Hahaha~
"happy event!"
Liu Min gave a bitter smile, as if their decades-long friendship had been eaten by dogs. "Justice, we're all here!"
Yang Zhengyi hugged Liu Min, a fleeting, almost imperceptible look of confusion crossing his eyes. It took him a while to recover before he said, suppressing his emotions, "Well, it's good that you're here. Nothing else matters."
Yang Lanting blinked, not expecting things to turn out this way.
He glanced at Yang Lanling and whispered, "Brother, are you telling the truth?"
"How could it be fake!"
Yang Lanling showed no emotional fluctuation. Having handled too many cases and witnessed the wickedness of human nature, this situation was not surprising to him at all.
Suddenly, a message popped up on my phone.
Yang Lanling smiled coldly after reading it.
