It was already afternoon when we got back to Meixian.
I had just raised my hand to knock on the door when Jin Ye opened it and rushed out first.
He was clearly taken aback when he saw me, then quickly said, "You're back just in time. Hurry to the hospital, that kid Mingyang is going to kill Zeng the richest man."
What is that?
I stopped Mr. Jin and told him to calm down and explain what had happened.
"What are you talking about!"
Jin Ye cursed, "A few hours ago, Zeng, the richest man in China, filmed a video in Mingyang's mother's hospital room, saying that he came to visit her and that he would cover her medical expenses in the future, and that we shouldn't worry about it."
"Isn't this obviously using Mingyang's elderly mother as a threat? As a result, Mingyang couldn't hold back and rushed out with a knife."
I felt a surge of anger; Zeng Yonghua, that old bastard, was truly despicable.
As the saying goes, when you're out in the world, you have to take responsibility for your actions and not let your family suffer the consequences.
I never expected him to do something so immoral.
I took a deep breath and forced myself to calm down: "How long has Mingyang been gone?"
"Uh...it's been two hours!"
Two hours?
I thought I misheard, so I asked again, "You've been walking for two hours, and now you're rushing out in such a hurry?"
Jin Ye showed no embarrassment and said in a serious tone, "I saw you come back through the crack in the door, so I made a show for you."
No, this old man is so blunt, isn't he ashamed at all?
Jin Ye spread his hands: "What can I do? Xiao Luo needs someone to watch over him, and I can't leave."
"Even if we take a step back, what can I do with him? Get wiped out? I call this preserving my strength, pulling back my fist to deliver a fatal blow later."
Damn it.
Being timid is one thing, but to say it with such self-righteousness is quite another.
I gave him a thumbs up and sneered, mimicking his tone when he learned of his junior sister's death.
"Last time, because I was cowardly and afraid of trouble, Shuyao suffered a terrible fate, and we were separated by death. This time, even if it's not the richest man Zeng, even if it's a god trying to stop me, I will kill him without hesitation! You are all safe!"
Jin Ye's face stiffened, and he coughed twice to change the subject: "So what do we do now? Pursue them or not?"
I rolled my eyes.
They've been gone for two hours, how can we catch up?
Ride a rocket!
I took out the phone that Xiaomi had given me and dialed Su Mingyang's number.
The phone is switched off.
However, judging by the time, he should still be on his way.
And if I had to say what I'm worried about, I'm not really worried.
Su Mingyang might kill someone because of his mother, but the problem is whether he can actually do it. What's the point of being the bodyguard of the former richest man?
Even the richest man in the country wouldn't want his life, after all, Bai Su's head is in our hands, and the initiative is still with us.
However, some hardship is inevitable.
People need to be saved, but what we need to do now is bring Luo Tianhe back to life.
With him around, our chances of winning are much greater.
Jin gave a thumbs up and offered a not-so-loud compliment: "See what I told you? We have to wait for our Brother Chen to come back! If I were alone, I would just blindly charge forward."
I couldn't be bothered with him and handed the black paper figure that Grandma Sun had given me before I left to Master Jin.
"Master Jin, do you know what this is? Sun..."
At this point, I quickly changed my tune: "Lingmei said that Luo Tianhe can take it."
Holy crap!
Jin Ye snatched the black paper figure, his eyes widening instantly, his expression shifting from shock to ecstasy, his hand trembling slightly uncontrollably.
"Do you know what you're holding? This is the 'Rebirth Talisman'! Countless people spend their entire lives trying to see it, and countless sects have fought openly and secretly to seize it, resulting in countless deaths and injuries."
"This thing can defy fate, bring the dead back to life, and even snatch a life from the jaws of death at a critical moment."
"Lingmei actually gave you something so valuable, this... this is simply unbelievable! What's your relationship with her?"
Jin Ye's eyes were shining as he carefully held the paper figure, as if it were a rare treasure.
That's awesome?
I never expected that Grandma Sun would entrust me with such a precious "Rebirth Register".
I gave a wry smile and said, "What kind of relationship could I possibly have with her? You should introduce me to her."
As I walked into the house, I told him everything that had happened in Ruiwei Village.
However, I didn't say the words that Mrs. Sun Lai told me before I left.
It's not that I'm wary of Mr. Jin, but rather that I'm wary of everyone.
Human nature is unpredictable; maintaining a degree of suspicion towards everyone is the way to survive.
Jin stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Firstly, Lingmei knows that her time is coming to an end, so there's no use in keeping the 'Rebirth Talisman'."
"Secondly, it might be because you are all from the Four Minor Yin Sects."
"Just like the saying often said online: the sect's patriarch would rather sacrifice himself than fail to do his best to protect the sect's prodigies. Perhaps this is the meaning of inheritance."
Four small Yin gates?
I do know that.
The so-called "Four Minor Yin Gates" refer to the executioner, the coroner, the paper maker, and the cobbler.
There's also a little rhyme that goes like this—
The executioner's knife hangs on the wall;
The coroner's eyes can see;
The craftsman's skill is vivid and lifelike;
The second cobbler's needle and thread are used to work on the leather surface.
After we finished speaking, we went into the room where Luo Tianhe was locked.
When I left, Luo Tianhe was hanging in mid-air.
The treatment is a bit better now; we sleep on the floor.
Like pigs awaiting slaughter during the Lunar New Year, they were tightly bound by thick iron chains, with their ears plugged in except for their mouths.
