Where can I go if I leave here? Zheng Yecheng was at a loss.
Since they were already involved in the karma, Zuo Ling decided to go all the way and gave Zheng Yecheng 5 jin of cornmeal.
"Let's leave tonight and find a place to hide. Maybe there will be a surprise."
Zheng Yecheng was surprised to see the golden cornmeal.
It wasn't until this moment that he realized that Zuo Ling and the other two were definitely not disaster victims, as disaster victims wouldn't have cornmeal of such good quality.
Five pounds of cornmeal is enough to keep him at his house for a year.
He reached out halfway, then pulled back: "This...this is too much trouble."
He was merely giving Zuo Ling and her brother a heads-up; they hadn't accepted it yet, so how could they accept something so precious from them?
"Take it and get out of here."
After saying that, the three of them turned and left.
"Hey, where are you guys going?"
"Food factory".
Zheng Yecheng was stunned. A food factory? They were going to a food factory! Weren't they afraid...?
They chased him outside, but he was nowhere to be found; even the arsonist had vanished.
Zheng Yecheng was startled and forgot all about Zuo Ling and her brother. He packed his things that very night and took his daughter and fled.
Meanwhile, the burly man... Dai Jianzhong, was half asleep, waiting for his underlings to return.
That guy named Zheng Yecheng is a troublemaker; he's the one who led a group to demand that the food factory hand over the people.
Dai Jianzhong was a member of the Ding family from a different clan, and he didn't know why the higher-ups needed so many people.
It's highly unusual that people are being sent over in batches without receiving any response.
He wasn't stupid; he had tentatively asked Ding Tiancheng, the member of the Ding family who had been in contact with him.
Ding Tiancheng looked impatient. "Don't ask questions you shouldn't be asking."
Realizing his tone was harsh, Ding Tiancheng softened his words:
"Do your job well. The higher-ups said that if you do your job well, the elders will select some outstanding disciples to help them awaken their special abilities. They've given twenty spots."
As a member of the Ding family from a different clan, Dai Jianzhong naturally knew about people with supernatural abilities.
Once someone awakens a special ability, even if that ability is weak, the resources and treatment they receive will far surpass those of ordinary children.
"Then...then, do you think there's a chance I could be chosen?"
He handed Ding Tiancheng two packs of cigarettes that he had been saving for a long time and had been reluctant to smoke.
Ding Tiancheng sniffed; the cigarette had a musty smell, but it didn't matter. Having something to smoke was already good enough.
“You’ve done a lot for the Ding family over the years. I’ll put in a good word for you with the higher-ups and count you in.”
In order to awaken his supernatural abilities, Dai Jianzhong gave Ding Tiancheng the two gold bars he had saved up.
Thinking that he might become a superhuman in the future, Dai Jianzhong perked up. He rummaged through his drawers and found a half-empty bottle of baijiu (Chinese liquor), took a big gulp, and felt the spiciness rush to his throat, which stimulated his mind and made him a little clearer.
Looking up at the sky, I wondered why they hadn't come back yet, having been gone for so long.
He wasn't a bloodthirsty person, but for the sake of his path as a superhuman, he would have been willing to kill not only Zheng Yecheng, but also 8 or 10 other families.
It's just that Zheng Yecheng is too shrewd and loves to meddle in other people's business. People who love to meddle don't live long.
When dawn broke and his men still hadn't returned, Dai Jianzhong knew something was wrong.
People were sent to Zheng Yecheng's house, but there was no trace of burning on the house. However, Zheng Yecheng and his daughter had disappeared.
The missing henchman was not at Zheng Yecheng's house; he was nowhere to be found, neither alive nor dead.
Dai Jianzhong was sweating profusely, feeling uneasy, as if dark clouds were looming overhead and something terrible was about to happen.
