Chapter 58 Possessing a treasure trove without realizing it



She thought she wouldn't find anything in this messy pile of items, but when she opened the small bag at the bottom, she unexpectedly found an ID card inside.

Upon closer inspection, she discovered that the person was actually a local from Hong Kong, and her address was in Kowloon Walled City, the most chaotic area in Hong Kong.

A strange excitement welled up inside her, as if Kowloon Walled City were the treasure she had been searching for. She knew that Kowloon Walled City was an extremely dangerous place, a gathering place for gangsters and criminals, but she also knew that it hid many unknown secrets.

She could almost see herself deep inside Kowloon Walled City, uncovering its secrets. Her heart raced, her breathing quickened; she knew this was an opportunity, a chance that could change her life.

However, just as she was lost in her daydreams, Lin Chengyu seemed to see through her thoughts. He quickly snatched the ID card from her hand, glanced at it, and immediately asked, "Are you interested in Kowloon Walled City? With your looks and demeanor, if you really went there, you'd probably want to be robbed in the street, wouldn't you?!"

His words were like a bucket of cold water poured over her head. She suddenly snapped out of her daze, realizing how naive and dangerous her thoughts had been. She turned to look at Lin Chengyu and found him staring at her with a serious expression.

“I…I was just curious,” she said.

"Curious? Do you know what kind of place that is? It's Kowloon Walled City, a place full of danger and violence. What would a girl like you do there?" Lin Chengyu said.

“I just wanted to go and see what it was like,” she said.

"Are you crazy? Do you know how dangerous it is there? Going there is suicide," Lin Chengyu said.

"But I really want to go and see it," she said stubbornly.

When she saw the name Kowloon Walled City, her ring space, which had been virtually invisible, seemed to come alive and gave her a prickling sensation. It was also anticipating her going to Kowloon Walled City.

Lin Chengyu understands Song Ziqing; once she makes a decision, he can't change her mind.

Finally, he could only sigh helplessly, "If you want to go and see, you can. But you must agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?" she asked.

“You must stay by my side, and I will protect your safety,” Lin Chengyu said.

She thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay, I promise you."

Lin Chengyu looked at her and smiled. "That's good. But remember, Kowloon Walled City is a very dangerous place. You must listen to me and not wander off."

“I understand,” she said.

Lin Chengyu looked at her and said again, "You must listen to me and not run around."

She nodded and said, "I understand, I will listen to you."

When Lin Chengyu lived as a soul in his previous life, he always felt that time passed very slowly, and he enjoyed trying all sorts of new things.

His soul often unconsciously follows his interests and hobbies, exploring mysterious realms.

One day, he found an internal energy cultivation manual in an ancient book, which greatly excited him. So, he began to practice according to the contents of the book, and in less than a day, his soul actually developed internal strength.

After his rebirth, Lin Chengyu persisted in meditating every night, hoping to cultivate internal energy within his body. It took him a full week to regain his internal energy.

He thought he would become different, but he later found that apart from becoming stronger and more agile, he was not much different from before.

Until one day, the night before he was to go to the countryside, he stayed at the Song family's mansion and drank noodles made by Song Ziqing using well water from his ring space. He then discovered that his internal strength had increased slightly.

This experience greatly surprised him, because he had never imagined that internal energy could be improved through food. From then on, he began to pay more attention to his diet and cultivation, hoping to take his internal energy to the next level.

But he was disappointed later. No matter how much or how good the food he ate, the upward trend of his internal energy was the same as before, and the speed of increase was even slower than a tortoise.

At this moment, he had not yet realized that the sudden and abnormal increase in his internal strength was closely related to the well water in Song Ziqing's ring space.

Song Ziqing felt even less of a difference. As an ordinary person, he felt that there was little difference between the people outside and the well water inside the space.

At this moment, she was completely unaware that she possessed a treasure trove of knowledge without realizing it.

"It's too late today. We can rest tomorrow and go explore Kowloon Walled City. Actually, it's not just you who's interested in it; I'm interested too."

Lin Chengyu had watched many Hong Kong movies in his previous life, and the descriptions of Kowloon Walled City in them were very mysterious and taboo.

But he really couldn't imagine what it would be like.

The hospital corridors reeked of a strong disinfectant smell, which was unpleasant to the eye.

Lin Chengyu was filled with grief and anger, feeling that the woman was really crazy. She was not doing well herself, so she wanted to drag others down with her.

He knew that this woman had likely resorted to staged an accident out of desperation, hoping to find a glimmer of hope for survival. But now, she was unlucky; her movement when she crashed into their car was too forceful, resulting in severe injuries that led to her death despite attempts to save her.

Song Ziqing stared silently at the tightly closed operating room doors, her eyes gleaming.

She has a very cheerful personality, but she was still deeply saddened by this tragedy. It was sadness for both the natural disaster and the man-made calamity! In such an environment, it's difficult for ordinary people to even survive.

She turned to look at Lin Chengyu and said in a low voice, "Maybe she really did this because she has a terminal illness and has nowhere else to turn. Maybe she wasn't targeting us on purpose, we were just unlucky to run into her."

He took a deep breath and said to Song Ziqing, "You're right, we should investigate this thoroughly. I'll have Wang Shitou and a bodyguard stay here and wait for news. Once there are results, notify us immediately. I'll also call a private investigator in Hong Kong later and ask them to help investigate the situation."

After saying that, Lin Chengyu left the hospital with Song Ziqing. They sat in the car, silent and heavy-hearted. After something like this, even the best mood was gone.

"Ziqing, don't be too sad. This isn't our fault, and we'll investigate to find out the truth. Right now, I'm worried that Hong Kong paparazzi will spread rumors that we hit someone with our car and killed them. That would greatly damage our personal and company reputations," Lin Chengyu said softly.
