Suddenly, he heard the man scream, which startled Red Scorpion, who was focused on his phone. He really wanted to rush over and see what was going on. How could a grown man scream like that?
But then Huang Ying's unhurried voice was heard, "Tell me, so you won't suffer. Anyway, it's not a secret. Old Man Chai really has amnesia."
man,"……"
The man was genuinely surprised that Chai Rongjin had truly lost his memory, but as the young girl in front of him had said, it wasn't a secret, so he told her.
It turns out that Old Man Chai was a disciple of a secret ancient martial arts sect. They rarely entered the world, and when they did, it was only because of certain connections that they served as bodyguards for "masters." These "masters" were people who were rich and powerful; in other words, people who could be hired by money or influence.
Old Man Chai used to be a martial arts master in the sect, specializing in teaching his disciples kung fu. However, more than ten years ago, he actually defected with the sect's junior sister and disappeared without a trace.
If it were just a martial arts master leaving the sect, it wouldn't be a big deal if you really thought about it. The mistake was that he didn't leave alone; he took the junior sister from the sect with him.
The junior sister's identity was special, and there could be no mishap. So they sent people to search everywhere, but they couldn't find her even after many years. They found her by chance last year, but she ran away.
Fortunately, through various channels, they found out that Chai Rongjin was handling the re-enrollment procedures for a child named Shang Lin. They originally thought that having a target would make the search easier, but little did they know that this Shang Lin was also very mysterious.
However, they eventually found him, but Shang Lin had graduated from junior high school and gone to City C for college. So they prepared to go to City C to look for him, but something suddenly happened in the sect and they were all transferred back, and it was only now that they found him.
Huang Ying never expected that Old Man Chai, who looked like an ordinary man, was actually quite shrewd. She asked again, "Then what do you want with Old Man Chai?"
The man looked at Huang Ying as if she were a fool. "Of course it's for our junior sister. Otherwise, why would we have wasted so much time and resources over the past ten years looking for an old man?"
Good heavens, you actually look down on the elderly? Besides, Old Man Chai is in his fifties, not seventy or eighty.
However, at this moment, Xing Tian walked in and said to the man with a serious expression, "I really have amnesia. I have no idea who this junior sister you're talking about is. And as you can see, there are only a few people around me. But I'm a little curious, why is the junior sister important? Is it just because she's a girl?"
Xing Tian had heard of some of the more secretive families, especially in the ancient martial arts world where there were more men than women, so it was reasonable for things to be rare and valuable.
But the reason of spending more than ten years to find someone is a bit far-fetched. So the reason should be easy to guess. For example, this junior sister is very important, or the junior sister has something very important in her possession.
Of course, there are other possibilities. It might involve love, hate, grudges, love triangles, or other ethical dramas. Anyway, since the junior sister is nowhere to be found and Old Man Chai is in a coma, they have no way of knowing.
Xing Tian had Huang Ying interrogate them again, but they didn't get any more valuable information out of them, because they weren't considered inner disciples and therefore didn't know much.
However, Xing Tian still felt it necessary to talk to Shang Lin about this matter. Perhaps this was just the beginning. After all, the people in that sect might not believe that Old Man Chai had lost his memory. It would be bad if it got back to their sect leader.
Their sect leader needs to prepare for his final exams right now, so he can't be disturbed by these messy things. Haven't you seen that he's completely given up on making money?
However, Xing Tian did not go to see Shang Lin in person. Instead, he waited until Shang Lin got out of school in the evening and called him, briefly explaining the situation.
After hearing this, Shang Lin simply sighed, "When Old Man Chai came back after handling my re-enrollment procedures, he told me that he had run into a former colleague and had a fight with him. Now that I think about it, it was probably because he was so eager to get rid of the other person that he was so badly injured."
Xing Tian was a little anxious. "What should we do? Will this matter have any impact on the sect leader?"
Sect Master Shang said in a particularly Buddhist manner, "Who cares? We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Besides, they're looking for Old Man Chai and Junior Sister, not me. Junior Sister is nowhere to be found, and you're the one guarding Old Man Chai now. You have other people guarding you, so what do I have to worry about?"
But could this junior sister be the original owner's mother? Otherwise, why would Old Man Chai be so protective of Shang Lin? But if she is the original owner's mother, did she really die to prolong his life?
Shang Lin didn't really understand the idea of exchanging lives for each other, because those who could do it were people who were very important to each other. So even if such a heaven-defying act succeeded, wouldn't the one who survived suffer even more?
Hearing his sect leader's Buddhist-like answer, Xing Tian immediately calmed down. "Since the sect leader says so, then I have nothing to worry about. The only thing to do is what about the person we captured?"
Shang Lin smiled, "Is that even a question? We are all law-abiding citizens, so naturally we should hand it over to Uncle Hat."
Xing Tian paused, wondering if this could be explained clearly. But the next second he said, "Yes, Sect Master."
Shang Lin asked again, "Did Little Scorpion come to find you?"
Xing Tian told the truth, "He came this afternoon. The phone I bought for him will arrive the day after tomorrow afternoon, so he'll stay with me for the next couple of days. He can go back after he receives the phone."
"No, let him learn more from you. Little Snake has things to do here; let him follow up on the martial arts school matters." Don't let him come back so soon; just looking at him gives me a headache.
"...Okay, but he might not listen to me!" As Xing Tian spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Chi Xie, but Chi Xie seemed not to hear him and continued playing with the water ball he had conjured with his demonic power.
Shang Lin said very confidently, "He will listen to you. If he doesn't, just tell him that if the disciples in the sect don't make money, they won't have cultivation resources. I've told him that, and I believe he will understand."
"Alright then." He wasn't incapable of taking care of children, and then asked, "Sect Master, is there anything you don't understand lately? I can provide video tutorials."
Shang Lin immediately smiled, "Not yet. If I do, I'll definitely contact you right away."
Xing Tian sincerely praised, "Sect Master is indeed amazing."
"Okay, I'm going to do my homework now."
"Yes, Sect Master, keep it up."
As soon as Xing Tian hung up the phone and looked up, he was met with Chi Xie's disdainful gaze. He completely ignored it and called Uncle Hat again, saying in a particularly dramatic tone, "Help! Someone has broken into my house and is robbing me."
Red Scorpion, "..."
