Chapter 395 Your parents are disgusting [1 update]
Before they came from the capital, they had already confirmed that the most suitable candidate was the eldest daughter of the Ying family.
The Grand Elder said that the eldest daughter of the Ying family was born at 1:01:01 on March 24th, and there is absolutely no mistake about that.
How could it not be?
The man's gaze was icy cold, like a blade.
Zhong Manhua had never seen anything like this before, and her body trembled: "It's true, Xiao Xuan wasn't born on March 24th. We just changed her birthday to this date when we adopted her."
She also knew that Ying Yuexuan was actually older.
However, her mental state was very poor during that period. If it weren't for Ying Yuexuan's company, she probably would have ended up in a mental hospital.
She didn't know why these people valued the time of birth so much, but she absolutely couldn't let them take Ying Yuexuan away.
Upon hearing this, the man gave a cold laugh.
He strode forward, grabbed Zhong Manhua by the collar with one hand, and lifted her up.
Zhong Manhua's face turned even paler.
Her feet were dangling in the air, her eyes filled with terror.
On the other side, Ying Zhenting was still lying on the ground, his face also pale.
Although he is over fifty years old, he exercises regularly and is in better health than most young people who drink and smoke.
But the seemingly light kick from the man in black, without using much force, made him feel as if his internal organs were churning.
Even the bodyguards carefully assigned to the scions of the four most powerful families are not this formidable.
"Adopted?" The man looked at Zhong Manhua indifferently, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "You think you can fool me with a few words? Do you think I'm a fool from your secular families?"
Zhong Manhua's mind had stopped working.
She couldn't understand some of the words the man used, but instinctively tried to protect Ying Yuexuan.
Who exactly are these people?
How dare they?!
Zhong Manhua's voice trembled violently, and she spoke incoherently: "I... I'm telling the truth. You... you only need to ask any family in Shanghai, and they... they all know that Xiaoxuan was adopted by the Ying family, so she really wasn't born on that day!"
"Then where is your biological daughter?" The man believed him to some extent, but his voice grew even colder. "You smile sweetly at your adopted daughter, showing her all your care and concern. Where is your biological daughter? Is she your enemy?"
They had been staking out the Ying family's old residence for half a day.
Men are also afraid of arresting the wrong person, so after observing and confirming the way Ying Yuexuan and Ying Zhenting interact with Zhong Manhua, they confirmed that they were indeed their biological children.
One sentence made Zhong Manhua's face turn red with embarrassment.
But life and death were in the man's hands, and no matter how embarrassed Zhong Manhua was, she had no choice but to say what followed.
Her lips trembled: "She...she has severed ties with our Ying family. I swear, what I'm saying is true. Go find Ying Zijing; she was born on March 24th!"
The man narrowed his eyes, loosened his grip, and slowly uttered three words: "Ying Zijin?"
"Yes!" Zhong Manhua pleaded, as if grasping at a straw. "It's her. You can investigate. It's really easy. Everyone in Shanghai knows this. How could I lie to you?"
The man then turned his head and gave the man in black on his left a look: "Go ask."
Then he let go and casually threw Zhong Manhua to the ground.
The man in black understood and quickly left.
Zhong Manhua was able to breathe in the fresh air and gasped for breath.
Upon seeing the man's actions, she paused, then stammered as she took out her phone: "You...you can call and ask."
The man took out a handkerchief and wiped his hands, coldly saying, "I don't like using these things, understand?"
Zhong Manhua didn't dare to say a word, her teeth grinding together.
The man glanced around the living room, then sat down on the sofa, looking quite relaxed.
But every minute and every second felt like torture for the three members of the Ying family.
Ten minutes later, the man in black returned.
He clasped his hands in a fist and knelt on one knee, performing an ancient etiquette: "Second Young Master, I have asked several families, and she is indeed the adopted daughter of the Ying family. The real daughter of the Ying family is named Ying Zijin."
"Alright." The man looked up at Zhong Manhua, his gaze cold and fierce. "Ying Zijin, where is she?"
“She…” Zhong Manhua was about to answer when she realized that she knew nothing about it, and she was even more embarrassed. “I… I don’t know.”
The man's gaze swept towards Ying Zhenting again.
Ying Zhenting stiffened: "I don't know either."
He wouldn't pay any attention to Ying Zijing at all; he's been busy with company matters these days, so he doesn't have any other energy.
"Second Young Master." The man in black stepped forward and whispered a few words in the man's ear.
After listening to his subordinate's report, the man understood what was going on with the Ying family.
"Your parents are disgusting to the point of being like this." He scoffed, looking down at you. "If the court hadn't only approved one spot for us, seeing how disgusted you are, you would all be dead today."
He didn't look at Zhong Manhua again, and waved his hand indifferently: "Go to the Zhong family."
A group of people came in aggressively, but left quickly.
Zhong Manhua collapsed to the ground, her face as white as paper, cold sweat pouring down her face.
"Mom!" Ying Yuexuan finally reacted. She rushed over and hugged Zhong Manhua, choking back tears, "Mom..."
“It’s alright, it’s all over now.” Zhong Manhua barely managed to raise her hand to hug her, her voice still trembling. “They won’t come back.”
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips: "But Mom, they went to find my sister, doesn't that mean..."
She was suddenly relieved that all the families in Shanghai, big and small, knew that she was an adopted daughter.
Otherwise, she would definitely have been taken away by these people.
Zhong Manhua suddenly realized what was happening and panicked again: "Zhenting, what, what should we do? We have to save Zijing!"
Ying Zhenting was still very weak, but his expression was extremely cold: "What should we do? Can we afford to offend these people? Mind your own business. If you ask me, she's a jinx."
Zhong Manhua's face turned pale.
She was so focused on protecting Ying Yuexuan that she forgot Ying Zijin had only recently come of age.
These people are ruthless and can casually utter the word "death."
Even if Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen have a good relationship, Venus Group is a business empire, and Fu Yunshen is just the president sent by the headquarters to manage the Asia-Pacific region.
How can we possibly fight against those people?
“Dad, Mom, I can go to Ozhou by myself.” Ying Yuexuan suddenly spoke up, interrupting Zhong Manhua’s thoughts. “You two were frightened today, and Dad was injured. I’ll take you to the hospital first.”
Zhong Manhua's attention was indeed drawn back, and she asked with some concern, "Are you alright by yourself?"
“My senior brother will come to pick me up,” Ying Yuexuan said softly. “Mom, don’t worry, the place where ISC is holding the finals is just next to Yilan Academy in the city.”
Hearing this, Zhong Manhua nodded.
She stepped forward, her body trembling, and helped Ying Zhenting up: "Zhenting, let's go to the hospital."
After the two went outside, Ying Yuexuan picked up her suitcase herself.
She pressed her lips down, but couldn't hide her smile.
Although she didn't know how Ying Zijing had gotten involved with these terrifying people, it had nothing to do with her.
Once Ying Zijing is captured, no one will be able to threaten her.

On the other side.
The man and the group of men in black he brought soon went to the Zhong family's house.
The gate to the Zhong family's old house was tightly closed.
Usually, only Old Master Zhong lives here. After he accompanied Ying Zijin to the capital, he gave Butler Zhong and the other servants a day off.
Men don't even need to go in; they can sense it with their internal energy and know that there's no one inside.
His expression turned cold: "Go to the Wen family."
A group of people arrived at the Wen family's apartment complex, but the door to the apartment was still closed and no one was there.
"Second Young Master." At this moment, the man in black who had been gathering information spoke up, "The eldest daughter of the Ying family is a high school student in Qingzhi. Should we go to Qingzhi?"
"If we grab a few of her classmates to threaten her, she'll definitely come back."
"High school?" The man frowned, clearly unfamiliar with the term.
The man in black quickly added, "It's a school."
The man hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "No, that's a place where people gather. If we go there, it will cause chaos, and things might get complicated at the court."
Although they had received permission from the Judicial Hall to leave the ancient martial arts world this time, the Judicial Hall only allowed them to bring back one ordinary person.
If your whereabouts are exposed, you will be punished.
The man in black asked again, "Then to Continent O?"
“That won’t work either.” The man frowned. “Most of the hunters on the NOK list roam the O continent and have mortal enemies from their families. Going there now would be tantamount to telling them that we have a weakness.”
The man in black hesitated: "But if we don't bring Miss Ying back, the young master's illness..."
"Wait a minute." The man's brows furrowed even more. "Didn't you say that competition would end at the end of May, and she would have to come back to take the college entrance exam? We can wait for her to come back, brother. We'll wait for her to come back before taking her away."
The man in black tentatively spoke, "But I'm afraid she won't agree. After all, she's quite well-known outside. If she disappears, that would be..."
“My elder brother is a dragon among men. If it weren’t for this incident, the Lin family would be begging to arrange a marriage with him.” The man’s eyes turned cold instantly. “She is just an ordinary person from a secular family. It is her honor to marry into the family.”
The man in black lowered his head and remained silent.
The world of ancient martial arts is a mystery to the outside world; ordinary people have no idea about it.
The eldest young master is indeed a dragon among men. Not only is he extremely handsome, but his talent in ancient martial arts is also a once-in-a-century genius in the family.
But just last month, his body suddenly went downhill, and he became so weak that he couldn't even get out of bed.
They took the young master to see doctors in the ancient medical field and he tried many rare medicinal herbs, but the young master still did not get better.
Later, the Grand Elder returned from his travels.
The clan's elder was not a member of the clan, but a fortune teller.
Long ago, because the family's predecessor had saved the life of the Grand Elder, he took on the position of Grand Elder and stayed in the family.
Then, the eldest elder performed a divination for the young master.
The divination indicates that the eldest son is destined for such a calamity.
To recover, he must find someone to marry to make amends for this ordeal.
After this ordeal, the young master will be able to break through his past limitations and stand tall again. His health will be restored, and his martial arts skills will be even higher than before.
However, the criteria for selecting candidates are very strict.
The woman must be at least eighteen years old and be a descendant of a wealthy and noble family.
The birth time must be at 1:01:01 on March 24th, even half a second off.
The only one who best fits the conditions is the eldest daughter of the Ying family.
That's why they left the ancient martial arts world and traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai.
"We'll wait here in Shanghai for now," the man said calmly. "Find an empty house to stay in, and as soon as he returns, take him back to the ancient martial arts world."

The next day.
O Continent.
College town.
Ying Zijin got up very early.
After she finished washing up, she looked up and squinted at the view outside the window.
In addition to the cameras in every corner, there are also many royal guards from various countries in the O continent responsible for the security of the surrounding area, and they are very strict in their guard.
This is, after all, the first global scientific knowledge competition, and unsurprisingly, many forces want to sabotage it.
Even outside of the ISC International Finals, this place, home to two of the world's top universities and laboratories, is a place that those with ulterior motives would want to infiltrate.
At the entrance to the university town, unmarked packages are often found, and many of them contain time bombs.
Ying Zijing lowered her eyes, put on her clothes, and went downstairs.
As soon as she went downstairs, a balloon floated down from above her head.
It's a Donald Duck.
He was holding a fish in his arms.
A low, gentle voice, tinged with a smile, said, "Good morning, here are some balloons for our little one."
Ying Zijing glanced at the handsome man and took the balloon. She said in a calm voice, "Raise your hand."
Fu Yunshen raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing?"
Ying Zijing tied the Donald Duck balloon to his wrist, took a step back, and looked him over: "Now, you're the one who's stupid."
Fu Yunshen looked at the balloon on his head and then stepped forward.
He braced himself against the wall with one hand, holding the girl in his arms, and lowered his head.
