Chapter 103: The Mystery of Ones Birth VS Danger Draws Near

  Chapter 103: The Mystery of One's Birth VS Danger Draws Near

  Cheng Zihan is a bit taller than he was back then, but the contours of his face haven't changed, still looking like he used to. After five years of sedimentation, he has become more steady and gentle.

  However, Cheng Hai and Li Lan had raised Cheng Zihan for eight years, so it was impossible for them to mistake their own daughter.

  "You, you are, Zi Han?" Li Lan's voice was trembling, she stretched out her hand, shaking and wanting to hug Cheng Zi Han, but was afraid that what she saw was an illusion, and her hand would disappear as soon as it touched.

  Cheng Zihan took a step forward and hugged Li Lan, "Mom."

  This mother, undoubtedly confirmed her own identity, Cheng Hai stood behind Li Lan silently wiping away tears.

  The elevator was about to close, and Cheng Zihan pulled Li Lan and Cheng Hai into the elevator. The elevator went all the way down, dropping one floor before the four of them got out.

  The cat uncle who was just ruthlessly abandoned walked at the very back, elegantly treading in cat steps, closely following behind Han Yi.

  Cheng Zihan and Li Lan, Cheng Haizhen is walking ahead.

  "Zi Han, where have you been all these years? Why didn't you send us a message? Your father and I were worried to death!" Li Lan looked much older than five years ago. These five years of worry and fear had taken their toll on her, with constant anxiety about Zi Han's safety, naturally leading to premature aging.

  Even Cheng Hai looked like he had aged ten years.

  Cheng Zihan pulled Li Lan's hand, with a face full of apology. "Sorry, Dad and Mom, it was all my fault. I should have contacted you at the first time, but under the circumstances back then, I didn't dare to contact you, fearing that it would expose your location and put you in danger."

  "Silly girl, what are you apologizing for? Children are the sweetest burden of parents' lifetime. As long as you're still with us for a day, we'll worry for a day. What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Lan patted Cheng Zihan's hand and sighed.

  Thirteen-year-old Cheng Zihan has grown up a lot, with a height of 1.66 meters, half a head taller than Li Lan.

  Seeing the children she had raised with her own hands finally grow up, Li Lan's heart was also relieved. Especially when she saw that the child had matured a lot and was no longer the little girl of the past, she was even more delighted.

  When he came out of the hotel, Han Yi's car was already waiting outside.

  Cheng Zihan directly pulled Li Lan into the car, Cheng Hai followed closely behind, and Han Yi sat in the front passenger seat.

  The cat jumped onto the car and ran back to lie on top of Cheng Zihan's thigh.

  Cheng Zihan patted him and didn't say anything.

  "How have you been doing these five years?" Li Lan looked at Cheng Zihan, although she couldn't see what hardships she had endured, but Li Lan still felt heartache for this child.

  Cheng Zihan smiled, snuggled into Li Lan's arms and coquettishly said, "Mom, I'm doing great, just can't meet you guys, don't worry about me. How have you been these past five years?"

  Li Lan patted Cheng Zihan's head, "We're doing well, it's just that you and Zi Xi are not around, so we worry about you. Zi Xi comes to visit us every summer vacation and stays for a month before leaving, but as for you, there has been no news from you all along."

  Li Lan's words couldn't help but carry some blame.

  Cheng Zihan smiled and coquettishly begged for forgiveness, and Li Lancai finally didn't blame her for disappearing for so many years.

  It's just lip service, who would really blame in their heart?

  Three people sat in the back and chatted intermittently as the car drove out of the Venice Hotel and headed straight to the airport.

  The car had just arrived at the airport entrance, and a large number of tourists were seen coming out of the airport. The flow of people in Las Vegas is always dense, especially now that March is still peak tourist season, so naturally there are more people coming to travel.

  Cheng Zihan and Li Lan Cheng Hai got off the car. Now, Li Lan Cheng Hai also knew that Cheng Zihan came here to pick up Han Jinchen.

  At first, if it wasn't for Han Jincheng's help in secret, they wouldn't have been able to live so peacefully. Both of them were undoubtedly grateful to him. However, they also feared that he was getting too close, and Cheng Zihuan was his daughter. If this secret were to be exposed, would Cheng Zihuan leave them and return to Han Jincheng's side?

  Getting out of the car, Cheng Zihan jumped up and down looking at the faces in the crowd, trying to find where Han Jincheng was.

  Han Yi pulled her and the two of them quietly entered the airport arrival hall from another side.

  From here, you can see every person who comes out of the airport. Cheng Zihan and Han Yi stand against the wall at the exit, staring blankly at those passing by in front of them.

  "Hey, Han Yi, when is Uncle Han arriving?" Cheng Zihan asked in a low voice, nudging Han Yi with her elbow.

  "It should be today, he came yesterday." Han Yi frowned, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the people passing by in front of him, but he didn't see that familiar face.

  At this moment, at the K exit of the airport, Han Jinchen walked out with elegant steps, and after leaving the airport, he directly hailed a taxi, reported his destination, and rushed to the Venice Hotel.

  Cheng Zihan and Han Yi waited there for two whole hours without seeing anyone, while at this time, Han Jingchen had already arrived at the Venice Hotel and directly entered Cheng Zihan's room.

  "How come he's still not here?" Cheng Zihan furrowed her brow, Han Jincheng was late and hadn't appeared yet, which made her feel a bit worried.

  Isn't there something wrong and you can't come?

  Han Yi furrowed his brow, thinking for a moment before slapping his forehead. "Right! I forgot that Las Vegas airport has three exits. He might have left from another exit. He knows where you live and is probably waiting for us at the hotel now! Let's hurry!"

  Hanyi, who had just realized what was happening, hastily pulled Cheng Zihan out of the airport and saw Cheng Hai and Li Lan standing anxiously in front of the car. Hanyi smiled apologetically and directly pushed Cheng Zihan into the car, then got in himself.

  The car started heading back.

  Cheng Zihan was eager to see Han Jingchen, so she was a little nervous all the way, just like a new daughter-in-law entering her in-laws' house.

  The car finally stopped outside the Venice Hotel, and Cheng Zihan jumped out of the car and rushed into the hotel, rushing straight to the elevator.

  Han Yi and Cheng Hai, Li Lan and Cat Uncle closely followed behind her.

  A few people got on the elevator and headed towards the sixth floor.

  After all the commotion, when they returned to their hotel room, it was already quite late. Cheng Zihan opened the door in a hurry and went inside, only to see that familiar man sitting by the window with his eyes narrowed.

  A head of white hair stung her eyes, almost bringing tears to them. She took step by step towards Han Jingchen, her heartbeat accelerating with each step.

  She finally stood in front of Han Jinchen.

  Later, Han Yi, Cheng Hai and Li Lan came in and stood at the door, but did not go in to disturb the two.

  Just seeing Cheng Zihan's appearance, Li Lan secretly wiped the corner of her eye. Cheng Hai seemed to understand something and stretched out his hand to put it around Li Lan, patting her shoulder in comfort.

  He felt a dark shadow looming over him, and the familiar breath that seemed to penetrate his bones. Han Jincheng suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the slender girl in front of him. The girl's eyes were slightly red, and she was biting her lower lip as she looked at him, her appearance so pitiful that it made Han Jincheng unable to resist stretching out his long arm and pulling her directly into his own embrace, holding her tightly.

  "Zi Han." Han Jingchen's voice was somewhat choked, and it was unclear whether it was because he had finally seen his own daughter again after many years and was overjoyed to tears, or something else.

  "Uncle Han." Cheng Zihan also choked and called out.

  The two people held each other tightly, as if time and space had come to a standstill at that moment.

  Bols wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and came to find Cheng Zihuan for the second time.

  When he arrived at the door, he saw three people standing at the door. He was taken aback, especially after recognizing Han Yi, and his mouth was wide open in shock.

  Han Yi stepped forward one stop, blocking his way, and said with a warm smile: "Sorry, Mr. Bors, there are some things inside that you can't enter for the time being."

  Bols wiped the sweat again, nodded, and stood honestly aside, but secretly looked inside. However, his eyes were dull, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see anything clearly. He could only vaguely make out that there were two people inside, who seemed very familiar.

  He saw Han Yi and Cheng Haili standing at the door, said a few polite words, then wiped his sweat and left in a hurry.

  Han Yi looked at his back and furrowed his brow. This Bors coming here must be about something.

  In the room, the two were still tightly embracing each other, as if they wanted to hold on until the end of time.

  After a long time, Han Jingchen finally let go of Cheng Zihan, looked at her carefully, and revealed a satisfied smile. "My little Zihan has finally grown up."

  Cheng Zihan looked at him with a seemingly understanding yet puzzled expression, still immersed in the joy of their reunion.

  Today is absolutely a good day, saw parents who haven't seen for many years, and also saw Han Jingchen.

  Cheng Zihan burst into tears and smiled, nodded her head, and said crisply: "Yes, I've grown up!"

  Han Jinchen reached out and rubbed her head, "The more you grow up, the more you look like your mother."

  Cheng Zihan was taken aback, thought for a moment, and felt that she didn't look like Li Lan at all, nor did she look like Cheng Hai. She also didn't know who she looked like. When she was younger, the adults would often say that Cheng Zihan didn't resemble anyone, and some even said that she might not be the biological daughter of Cheng Hai and Li Lan.

  Cheng Zihan didn't think much of it at first, but now that Han Jingchen has mentioned it, she seems to have vaguely sensed something.

  She smiled and said, "Of course, a daughter is like her mother."

  "Zi Han, you're all grown up now and have the right to know about your own life. Cheng Hai, Li Lan, come in too. Han Yi, close the door." Han Jin Chen let out a sigh, looking at Cheng Zi Han as if he had just made some major decision.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan exchanged a glance, smiled wryly, and already understood what Han Jincheng wanted to do.

  He must be planning to reveal Cheng Zihans true identity.

  They let out a sigh and walked in honestly, standing in front of Cheng Zihan and Han Jincheng.

  Cheng Zihan suddenly realized that she was still sitting in Han Jincheng's arms, and quickly jumped up, standing obediently beside him.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan looked at Han Jinchen with unease, wanting to speak but hesitating.

  Han Jingchen's face was cold and frightening, his aura made people feel a palpitation.

  Cheng Zihan vaguely felt that something was off about the atmosphere.

  "Should you tell them, or should I?" Han Jincheng glanced at Cheng Hai and Li Lan lightly. Thirteen years had passed, and after almost losing Cheng Zihuan once, Han Jincheng finally decided not to continue hiding Cheng Zihuan's true identity.

  No matter how many difficulties are waiting for them on the road ahead, they must face and overcome them together.

  Shen Yihan, he will definitely go find her back, Cheng Zihuan, he also wants to protect.

  Cheng Hai hesitated for a moment, looked deeply at Cheng Zihan, and then sighed, "So many years have passed, but I still can't escape. Let me say it."

  Li Lan heard this and secretly pulled at Cheng Hai's clothes, shaking her head.

  Cheng Hai patted her hand and told her not to rush.

  Li Lan just sighed and had a sorrowful expression on her face.

  Cheng Zihan looked at her parents like this, and felt a little unbearable in her heart. She went over to hug Li Lan and patted her back to comfort her.

  Li Lan saw this situation, her eyes were sour, and tears fell down with a patter.

  "Zi Han, I'm sorry. Dad has been lying to you all along. You're not our biological daughter." Cheng Hai looked at Cheng Zi Han, his heart aching with reluctance, but he still spoke the words out loud.

  Cheng Zihan was as if struck by lightning, and stood there in a daze.

  Just now Cheng Hai said she wasn't their biological child?

  She raised her head and looked at Cheng Hai with a puzzled expression, unable to understand why he would say such things.

  Cheng Hai just smiled wryly, "Zihan, Dad didn't lie to you, you really aren't our biological child. Thirteen years ago, a heavily pregnant woman suddenly arrived at our village in Lei family, she was seriously injured, I and your mom happened to see her, so we took her in and took good care of her. A few months later, she and your mom gave birth at the same time, both had a daughter, but your mom's child died due to lack of oxygen, while her daughter, that is you, survived."

  At that time she had just given birth to you and was seriously injured, only managed to take a glance at you before entrusting us to take care of you, while she herself left with the dead infant in her arms.

  Your mother was heartbroken, so she kept you by her side to take care of you. Eight years have passed since then. Until your biological father, that is him, showed up. I knew this day couldn't be avoided, but I wanted to keep you by my side. Although you are not our biological child, the love we have for you has never diminished over all these years.

  "Now you've grown up and have the right to know about your own life."

  These old things, Cheng Hai has always been unwilling to mention, now that they are said, it also feels like a weight has been lifted off his shoulders, but looking at Cheng Zihan, he still can't bear the thought of letting go of the daughter he raised for so many years and have her leave with someone else.

  Li Lan has already burst into tears beside him.

  Cheng Zihan blinked, unable to digest what Cheng Hai had just said for a moment.

  Han Jingchen looked at Cheng Zihan steadily, waiting for her to speak up.

  Cheng Zihan suddenly smiled, "Dad, what are you talking about? No matter who gave birth to me, but you two have been my parents for so many years, you are my real parents."

  Cheng Zihan's words came out, Cheng Hai was overjoyed and cried, hugging Cheng Zihan who also couldn't hold back tears.

  Li Lan was even more moved.

  Han Jingchen furrowed his brow instead.

  Cheng Zihan pushed away Cheng Hai and turned back to look at Han Jincheng, asking faintly: "You've known all along that I'm your daughter?"

  Han Jingchen nodded, "When you were caught by the five old men of the Chu family that day, your father came to find me and told me about your background. That day, I saw the plum blossom birthmark on your back and already knew you were Yihan's child."

  "Why don't you recognize me? You've been by my side for so long, why didn't you tell me?" Cheng Zihan took a deep breath and continued to ask.

  Han Jingchen helplessly shook his head and sighed, "Zihan, it's not that I don't recognize you, but your background is too complicated. I dare not acknowledge you, nor can I let you be in danger. Your mother's identity is special, if people find out about your existence, it will bring you mortal danger."

  "Why mention it again now?" Cheng Zihan still didn't understand. If it was really like Han Jincheng said, then he should have kept it from her until she was capable of taking care of herself.

  Does Han Jingchen think he can protect himself now?

  "That year, you chose to self-destruct, wanting to perish together with Yan Lao. I watched as you vanished into thin air before my eyes, and in that moment, my heart ached so much it felt like I was suffocating. From then on, I started thinking that if only I had the chance to tell you the truth earlier, would there be no regrets? Would I not have been left with such regret and sorrow when watching you disappear, never to return again? Now, I don't plan to continue hiding it from you anymore. No matter what dangers lie ahead, we can face them together." Han Jinchen's tone was somewhat heavy, as he looked at Cheng Zihuan, speaking slowly and seriously, word by word.

  "What is my mother's identity after all?" Cheng Zihan looked at Han Jingchen, and when her gaze fell on his white hair, all her resentment and dissatisfaction disappeared without a trace.

  Although Han Jinchen did not acknowledge himself, he had been guarding his side all along, protecting him. This kindness, she could never forget.

  "Her identity, I still can't tell you now, but rest assured that at the right time, I will tell you the truth." Han Jinchen shook his head and refused to reveal anything about Shen Yihan.

  Cheng Zihan took a deep breath and said, "Alright, then let's not talk about it."

  Cheng Hai looked at Cheng Zihan, then glanced at Han Jincheng, before hesitantly speaking up, "Mr. Han, after Miss Shen left our house that year, a group of thugs came and chased after her. Later, some villagers said they saw a beautiful young woman being taken away by several burly men, but I don't know if the person who was taken away was indeed Miss Shen."

  Cheng Hai didn't dare say anything about this matter because he himself was uncertain, but now that everything has been laid out, he frankly admitted everything.

  "What did you say?" Contrary to everyone's expectations, Han Jincheng reacted extremely violently when he heard the news. He suddenly stood up, and his breath burst out, causing Cheng Zihuan to retreat several steps back in surprise.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan were no match, and they were directly blown away, spitting out blood, and fell to the ground.

  "Dad! Mom!" Cheng Zihan was shocked and rushed over to help up Cheng Hai and Li Lan, taking their pulse. Fortunately, although they were injured, it didn't affect their lungs, and with a few days of rest, they would be fine.

  At the same time as letting out a sigh of relief, Cheng Zihan also looked at Han Jingchen with a puzzled expression.

  Han Jingchen had always given her the feeling of being a very cold-blooded man, although he was always icy, but rarely lost control of his emotions, always so unemotional, like those great enlightened monks who retreated into the empty gate.

  But now his reaction was unusually excited, it seemed that Shen Yihan occupied a large proportion in his heart.

  Han Yi was shocked when he saw Han Jingchen like this and hastily shouted, "Huo Er!"

  Jiuyou Huomang arrived upon hearing the sound, his apathetic snake pupils coldly gazing at Han Jincheng below. When he saw Han Jincheng's bright red eyes, his own pupils slightly constricted, clearly startled by the situation before him.

  "What are you calling me out for at this time?" Jiuyou Huo Meng turned his head to look at Han Yi with a somewhat resentful inquiry.

  "Uncle Wang has been demonized, quickly use your Nine Underworld Refining Fire to purify the evil energy on his body!" Han Yi anxiously roared at the Nine Underworld Fire Python.

  Jiuyou Huomang glanced at Han Yi faintly, but didn't follow suit. Instead, it transformed into a miniature snake and landed on Han Yi's shoulder.

  "Han Yi, your brain really isn't working well, my Nine Underworlds Refining Fire is the most evil and darkest fire in the world. If I were to use the Nine Underworlds Refining Fire to burn him, it wouldn't be purification, but rather intensifying the demonic nature on his body, increasing his malevolent energy, making his demonization even more thorough!" The Nine Underworlds Fire Python said calmly after landing on Han Yi's shoulder.

  He looked at Han Jingchen, his eyes also carrying a hint of solemnity.

  In his perception, Han Jinchen was very strong! Especially in this state of his, he was so strong that even he couldn't muster a single thought to resist it.

  Han Yi's face changed upon hearing this, just now he was anxious and only thought of the purifying ability of Jiuyou Lianhuo, but forgot about its properties.

  Cheng Zihan also heard the conversation between Han Yi and Jiu Youhuo, and knew that things were going to be bad.

  She took a step forward, muttering mysterious and complex incantations in her mouth. A white glow was emitted from her body, finally falling on Han Jincheng's body.

  Han Jingchen was still struggling fiercely, while Cheng Zihan seemed to be having a hard time coping. She gritted her teeth and suddenly stomped her right foot, forming a horse stance, the incantation she uttered became even more mysterious and incomprehensible, but those white rays of light grew thicker and more intense.

  Han Yi looked at Cheng Zihan's actions and was somewhat puzzled, so he secretly asked Jiuyou Huo Wan, "What is she doing?"

  "This is the purification power of the pure yin body, which can purify all impurities in the world. I didn't expect her to have already grasped this." Jiuyou Huo Meng looked at Cheng Zihan with a sigh of emotion.

  At that time when we first met, this little girl was still a yellow-haired girl with a strong physique but didn't know how to use it. I didn't expect that in just five years, she could already use the purification power that can only be understood after achieving the Great Perfection of Pure Yin Body, but it seems that she has just understood it recently and her strength is still somewhat lacking.

  Cheng Zihan felt the power within her being completely drained, and she slowly became somewhat powerless. She gritted her teeth, looking at Han Jincheng's eyes which still had a hint of redness, and slightly moved her feet apart to stabilize herself in a horse stance. With her last bit of strength, she released all of the purification power.

  In an instant, a white light enveloped the entire room, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to keep one's eyes open.

  Han Yi was also shocked by this power and took a few steps back, while Cheng Hai and Li Lan were safely enveloped in the white light, their internal injuries slowly recovering, although not quickly, but at a slow pace.

  Han Jingchen's pupils finally faded from red, he sat down softly, his whole body was sweating, and his clothes were already soaked.

  Cheng Zihan fell directly to the ground with a thud, apparently exhausting her physical strength.

  Han Yi hastily went over and helped Cheng Zihuan up, looking at her pale and almost transparent face, feeling a bit worried.

  At this time, the cat uncle who had been watching from the side also walked over with elegant cat steps, lying on Cheng Zihan's body. A warm and gentle power slowly flowed into Cheng Zihan's body through the place where their bodies were in contact. Han Yi looked at Cheng Zihan's face and was shocked to see a sudden change in his complexion. He suddenly realized that this black cat was not an ordinary cat!

  The water element around is very dense, it seems that this black cat should have a water-based superpower, to be precise, it should be a healing ability supercat.

  Jiuyou Huomang glanced at Cat Uncle with a hint of disdain and let out a scornful hum, but didn't reveal his identity.

  With his eyesight, he naturally saw through the black cat's true form at a glance.

  That tiny human soul curled up inside the black cat's body couldn't escape his piercing gaze.

  Kang Zihan has nothing else to do, Han Yi went over and helped Han Jingchen up, letting him lie down on the sofa.

  Han Jingchen's face was somewhat unsightly, pale and frightening.

  After being cured by Cat Uncle's healing technique, Cheng Zihan has recovered some of her energy. She stood up shakily and squatted down beside the sofa, looking at Han Jincheng before turning back to look at Cat Uncle.

  The cat uncle seemed somewhat unwilling, but under Cheng Zihan's gaze, he still walked over uncontrollably, stretched out a paw and placed it on Han Jincheng's wrist. A faint blue light visible to the naked eye slowly flowed into Han Jincheng's body from where his paw fell, and Han Jincheng's face gradually regained its rosy complexion.

  Cheng Zihan finally let out a long sigh, and a wave of fatigue also came with it.

  Cheng Zihan's body went soft and she fell asleep directly on the edge of the sofa.

  Han Yi picked her up and put her on the bed.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan looked much better, after seeing Cheng Zihang rest, they also went back to rest first.

  Han Yi also brought Han Jingchen back to his own room.

  Cheng Zihan lay quietly on the bed, some strange elemental factors in the air jumped into her body, nourishing every inch of her bones and skin.

  Every time after overexerting his body's energy, his body would automatically replenish its energy, and after waking up, Cheng Zihang would find that the energy within him seemed to have increased a bit, and his strength had improved significantly.

  Cheng Zihang was unclear about why this situation would occur, and even Cao Yun couldn't explain what was going on with this phenomenon that defied logic.

  But Mang Cang had a faint feeling that the special ability of Cheng Zihuan's body was related to the plum blossom birthmark on her back.

  Cheng Zihan slept beautifully and woke up stretching her waist, with a cheerful crackling sound coming from all the bones in her body.

  After twisting her waist, she finally got out of bed. Cat uncle was still lying in bed, hearing the movement lazily raised his eyelids, and glanced at Cheng Zihuan with a dull expression before closing his eyes to continue sleeping.

  Yesterday, he spent a lot of energy treating Cheng Zihan and Han Jincheng, now he really doesn't have any strength left.

  Cheng Zihan didn't care about him either, and after washing up, she skipped directly to Cheng Hai's room.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan have gotten up and were about to go see Cheng Zihan, when they saw the delicate girl standing at the door, their hearts were filled with joy.

  Cheng Zihan saw that the two had already packed their clothes and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "Dad, Mom, where are you going?"

  "We were planning to stay for two or three days and then leave, our return flight is at 5 pm today, so let's pack up and head back this afternoon." Li Lan was still packing things in the house when she heard Cheng Zihans words, she raised her head and looked at Cheng Zi Han.

  She treated this child as if she were her own daughter, but soon she would become someone else's daughter. As time passed, or perhaps she would slowly forget herself, and when they met again, it might just be as strangers.

  Thinking of these things, Li Lan couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in her heart.

  Cheng Zihan felt what Li Lan was thinking, and couldn't help but go over to hug her neck, calling out in a sweet voice, "Mom, it's been so long since we've seen each other, why don't you guys stay for a few more days?"

  Li Lan's eyes reddened and she nodded with a sob.

  Cheng Hai sighed and walked in with his hands behind his back, sitting down beside him.

  "Dad, Mom, don't be like this. No matter what, you are my parents and the kindness of raising me is greater than the kindness of giving birth to me. I will not abandon you. You will always be my parents. Seeing you both like this now makes my heart ache." Cheng Zihan couldn't bear seeing her parents like this and said with restraint.

  Li Lan and Cheng Hai both put away the sad expressions on their faces, nodded slightly, which was equivalent to agreeing.

  Cheng Zihan sold Meng for a while and went to find Han Yi and Han Jingchen.

  Han Jingchen had just woken up, still feeling a bit weak. Every time he transformed into a demon, he would enter a period of weakness that lasted for several days. During this time, if someone wanted to kill him, it would be incredibly easy.

  Cheng Zihan looked at Han Jincheng on the bed, smiled slightly, but still couldn't bring himself to call out "Dad".

  It's sometimes strange to get used to something. You've gotten used to calling someone "dad", but if one day someone comes along and tells you that they're actually your real father, you'll feel at a loss and won't know how to address them.

  Han Yi noticed the awkwardness between the two and came over to help, "Zihan, you're here so early, are you thinking of coming out with us for a walk?"

  Cheng Zihan nodded hastily, "En en, today's weather is pretty good, anyway we don't have a competition, let's just go for a walk around."

  Han Yi turned his head and glanced at Han Jingchen, seeing Han Jingchen nod slightly, knowing he had agreed.

  Cheng Zihan knew that the two men needed to change clothes, so she went to Cheng Hai and Li Lan's room first to wait.

  As she was leaving, she saw Bors hurrying over to her again. She couldn't help but feel curious - this was the third time in two days that he had sought her out; what could be so urgent?

  Thinking of her, she couldn't help but call out to Boers, "You, stop right there."

  Boers was stunned for a moment before he realized it was Cheng Zihan calling him.

  Staring at Cheng Zihan for a while, Boers didn't recognize her either. He furrowed his brow and continued walking forward with some impatience.

  Cheng Zihan's eyebrows also furrowed, thinking about his current appearance, he didn't recognize him and it wasn't strange, so he simply ignored him and let him continue to make a fool of himself.

  They entered Cheng Hai's room and both of them had already changed their clothes, were coming out of the room, saw Cheng Zihan, and subconsciously looked behind her, but didn't see anyone.

  "Dad and mom, they'll be out soon, let's go down first." Cheng Zihan pulled Li Lan's arm, with one hand still holding onto Cheng Hai.

  A family of three went out happily and beautifully.

  Han Yi and Han Jingchen had already gone downstairs when they came out.

  Han Jingchen's eyes had a hint of loss, but it was quickly covered up by him.

  Han Yi stood cautiously beside him and seeing that he was dazed, couldn't help but call out to him, "Uncle?"

  Han Jingchen came back to himself, glanced at Han Yi, smiled and said, "Let's go, they should be waiting downstairs."

  Han Yi nodded and looked at Han Jingchen with some concern.

  Two people came down, and Cheng Zihan and Cheng Hai, as well as Li Lan, were carrying big bags of food from the dining room. Seeing the two coming down, Cheng Zihan walked over with the food and handed two breakfast bags to Han Yi's hands, "Here, this is today's breakfast, for you."

  Cheng Zihan never called out to Han Jincheng, and Han Jincheng couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment in his heart.

  Holding breakfast and leaving the hotel, a few people didn't take a car, but instead ate while admiring the beautiful scenery along the way.

  Las Vegas is also beautiful during the day, with a gentle breeze and sweet air.

  A few people didn't have a specific place to go, they just wandered around the streets, and as people passed by them, seeing them eating while walking down the street with an air of nonchalance, they would cast disdainful glances their way.

  Here, eating on the street is considered impolite and will naturally be looked down upon by those white people who think they are superior.

  Cheng Zihan enjoyed everyone's contemptuous gaze, eating big mouthfuls of food, completely ignoring them.

  The scenery was beautiful and with a good mood, the group walked for an entire morning, finally getting tired before finding a spot to sit down and have something to eat.

  There are many cafes on the water, all of which have transparent glass floors that allow you to see the flowing water below and the fish swimming happily in it.

  Having eaten and drunk enough, feeling somewhat idle, several people didn't want to continue walking either. Outside was too crowded, and it wasn't fun with so many people squeezing together, so they rested for a while before all returning to the hotel.

  The next day, Cheng Zihan and Han Yi still had a competition, so they couldn't play too wildly.

  Back at the hotel, Cheng Zihan changed back into men's clothing.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan were both mentally prepared, so they weren't surprised either.

  Cheng Zihan had just changed into men's clothing and was about to take a nap when the doorbell rang.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan both have their own access cards, so they don't need to ring the doorbell when coming to find her. It seems that the person who came was looking for Boers for two days.

  Cheng Zihan opened the door and indeed saw a flustered Bors standing at the entrance.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him with some surprise, really couldn't understand why he was in such a hurry.

  Seeing Cheng Zihan, Bors hastily looked inside and exclaimed: "Mr. Babera, something's happened."

  Cheng Zihan frowned and looked at Bors, also having a bad feeling in her heart, then asked, "What happened?"

  "The money stored in our casino has vanished into thin air, all of it is gone! The thief who stole the money only left this behind!" Bors wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and pulled out a pink piece of paper from his pocket, handing it to Cheng Zihuan.

  Above is a ghost face, below which is a line of elegant font, written "Thank you for your gift, I took the money, on behalf of all the orphans in the world to thank you for your kindness, three bows."

  Looking at these words, Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently, and the familiar handwriting above made her want to laugh.

  "Did you come to find me just to tell me this news?" Cheng Zihan put away the note and asked Boers coldly.

  The money was won, it's all hers. Since the money was lost at Bors', he naturally had to compensate for it. Cheng Zihan didn't worry about losing the money at all.

  Boers wiped his cold sweat again, "This, this, because our casino's money was all stolen away, so, for a while we can't take out such a large sum of money, so..."

  Later on, Bors himself didn't dare continue speaking.

  Cheng Zihan looked at him coldly, "So you're saying that you lost my money and can't even compensate me for it. Now I don't have the funds to continue participating in the competition and need to fill it up myself?"

  Boers heard the discord in Cheng Zihan's tone but still nodded stiffly.

  Cheng Zihan sneered, "There are over 60 billion there! And it's in US dollars! Do you think you can just talk your way out of this? I don't care what method you use, even if you have to give me your own life as compensation, you must find a way to return the money to me before tomorrow's match begins!"

  Cheng Zihan said as he poked Bors's chest with force, his tone was firm and left no room for negotiation.

  Bols's face was ashen, still holding onto the last shred of hope, looking at Cheng Zihang and pleading: "Mr. Babera, we didn't want this to happen either, can you please take out some money to fill up first? After the competition is over, I will do my best to compensate you! And if you can help us get through this difficult time, then in the future, no matter what you need, just say the word and we will definitely go all out to help you."

  Cheng Zihan coldly smiled, "Help me? You can't even take care of a little money, can't even deal with a small thief, what do you think you can help me with? You have the time to come here and beg me, it's better if you think about how to quickly gather some money or go ask around, see if other contestants also had their money stolen."

  Boers knew that continuing to negotiate with Cheng Zihan would not yield any results, so he could only leave reluctantly. According to Cheng Zihan's intention, he first used all possible means to raise funds and then started investigating the situation of other contestants again.

  But the situation was indeed as Cheng Zihan had expected, not only the Golden Casino, but also the Royal Casino, the Flamingo Casino, and even all the contestants who participated in the competition, including several major banks in Las Vegas, were all stolen of large sums of money.

  The police were all out on the same day, and all sea, land and air transportation were suspended. No one was allowed to leave Las Vegas, and a blanket search was conducted.

  The person who stole such a large sum of money, however, seemed to have vanished into thin air. The police spent three days searching the entire city of Las Vegas but couldn't find any trace of him.

  This was all within Cheng Zihan's expectations, as the thief who had stolen tens of billions of dollars in funding was now sitting in his room with his legs crossed, eating delicious food.

  Cheng Zihan supported his forehead, silently looking at the girl in front of him, especially when he saw her terrible eating posture, he didn't know what to say.

  The girl didn't even glance at Cheng Zihan, eating on her own and leaving after finishing her meal with a pat on her butt.

  "Wait!" Cheng Zihan coldly called out to her.

  The girl turned around, blinking her big eyes, looked at Cheng Zihan for a moment, and then shook her head very firmly. "Mom said we can't fall in love early, brother, although you're very handsome and I like you too, but I won't be with you, give up."

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched violently as he roared, "Cheng Zixi, who the hell taught you these things? Have you grown tired of living? You've actually become a great thief like Wang Yang! Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

  Cheng Zixi blinked, looking at the young man in front of her with some confusion, but she couldn't remember when she had met him before. After thinking for a moment, she smiled slyly and said, "Kid, your trick to chase girls is outdated! Nowadays, it's not popular to make connections or flirt with girls like that. Next time, think of a new idea to hit on me."

  Cheng Zixi said, directly carrying the backpack on the bed, running to the window, opening the window and preparing to jump down.

  But just as she was about to jump down, she felt a strong hand grab her backpack from behind and with one swift motion, she was flipped over onto the ground on all fours.

  "Ow, ow, ow, it hurts so much! You're not gentle at all, kiddo. This is how you'll never find a girlfriend." Cheng Zixi slowly got up, rubbing his sore butt and complaining.

  Her eyes rolled around the room, thinking about where to find a breakthrough to slip away.

  Cheng Zihan gave her a cold look, as if she wanted to slap her to death. "Don't even think about it! Once you're in, you can't leave easily! Just stay here quietly! Do you think you can still leave Las Vegas safely after doing something like this?"

  Cheng Zihan's lungs hurt and her liver also hurts, looking at this restless little sister, she can't figure it out. A good younger sister, how could she grow up to be so bad?

  Didn't she grow up under Han Jincheng's guidance for five years? Hasn't Han Jincheng discovered that she has become like this?

  Chengzi Creek sat down on the ground, opened her backpack, and a large amount of US dollars fell out, which was the money she had recently stolen.

  Those who participated in the God of Gamblers contest are nothing, but the money stolen from the bank is all consecutive numbers. As soon as it's spent, it will be caught by Interpol immediately. Cheng Zixi really has a big nerve to dare do such a thing.

  Cheng Zixi, however, ignored Cheng Zihan's angry outburst and sat on the ground counting his money. As he counted, he muttered to himself, "You rich people have no idea what it's like for poor families' children. There are many who can't even afford a meal, but you're here betting tens of billions, hundreds of billions... it's simply unreasonable. This money could be enough for all of them to use until they die, and I'm sure they still wouldn't finish spending it. And some poor kids in remote areas could buy better clothes, go to school... those who live far from school, I could even buy them a bike. I know who you are, you're that whatever labor thingy gambling god or something. What's so great about that? If my sister were still here, she'd definitely be able to become this gambling god too, unfortunately, my sister is gone, and so are mom and dad. That uncle was nice to me, but he always had a cold face and ignored me... luckily I have my adoptive father, he's good to me, taught me many things, even taught me how to steal and swindle. With this money, I can go back and rebuild an orphanage, let those kids live a good life..."

  Cheng Zihan listened with some acidity, looking at Cheng Zixi sitting on the ground losing money. She was only ten years old this year, such a small child, yet she already knew to rob the rich and help the poor. Not to mention whether her actions were right or wrong, but her starting point was good, it's just the method that Cheng Zihan couldn't agree with.

  However, that so-called godfather, it seems that if there is a chance to see him, he must be well-received. He actually taught Cung Zei Xi to steal things!

  "So you can steal things now? Do you know that this will lead to big trouble? Can you take this money and leave here?" Cheng Zihan sat down opposite Cheng Zixi, looking at her with a changed tone, no longer as fierce as before.

  Cheng Zixi furrowed her brow, with a serious expression, seemingly thinking about Cheng Zihan's problem.

  She finally shook her head with a serious expression, "I don't think I can leave from here."

  It's just this security check, she absolutely can't get through, when the time comes and they open her bag, seeing so much money, they'll directly take her down.

  Why didn't you think of these when you were stealing?

  Cheng Zixi rubbed her temples with a slight headache and looked annoyed.

  Cheng Zihan couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Cheng Zixi had finally realized his mistake. But instead, he heard Cheng Zixi shaking his head and sighing, "Ah, I'm so stupid! I can just package it up and send it back through delivery, even if it gets discovered later, I won't use my own name, I'll use my master's name, and when the police come to catch someone, they'll catch him instead! What does that have to do with me? I'm so clever!"

  Cheng Zihan's forehead slid down N bars of black lines, it's all over, this kid is beyond salvation.

  Cheng Zihan directly stretched out his hand and heavily knocked on Cheng Zixi's forehead, "Bullshit! Who told you to do this?"

  Cheng Zixi covered her forehead and wailed, glaring at Cheng Zihan with dissatisfaction, before muttering: "Who are you to me? What right do you have to control me? My parents don't even want me anymore, waaah... what right do you have to control me, huh?"

  Cheng Zixi said with a wronged expression and sat down on the ground, hugging her knees and crying loudly.

  Cheng Zihan supported her forehead, and had only made a phone call to Cheng Hai's room.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan were watching TV when they heard the phone ring and answered it immediately.

  "Hello?" Chen Hai held the phone with some hesitation, also didn't know who was calling.

  Cheng Zihan called out in a somewhat helpless tone, "Dad and Mom, come to my room for a bit."

  Cheng Zixi was still sitting on the ground crying, and when she heard Cheng Zihan talking on the phone, she perked up her ears to eavesdrop, but couldn't figure out why Cheng Zihan had called his parents over for no reason.

  Is she teasing this poor orphan?

  Thinking of Cheng Zixi, she became even more wronged and cried out loud, with a momentum that was hard to stop.

  Cheng Zihan was really a headache, and soon Cheng Hai and Li Lan arrived, directly taking out the room card to open the door. When they came in and saw the little doll sitting on the ground, they were clearly stunned for a moment. It was Li Lan who reacted first, rushing over to pick up Cheng Zihe and hugging him tightly in her arms.

  Cheng Zixi was pressed by Li Lan's chest, those two soft flesh made him breathless, he struggled desperately, tears fell down uncontrollably.

  "Zi Xi?" Cheng Hai was also shocked, looking at Cheng Zi Han with confusion.

  Cheng Zihan asked Cheng Haixian to lock the door first, and then roughly explained the current situation to them.

  "What? She, she's the one who turned Las Vegas upside down?" Cheng Hai couldn't believe his ears.

  Now his two daughters have both made a name for themselves, one becoming a world-class gambler and the other even more impressive, directly becoming an international thief!

  "Zi Xi, tell me, what's going on!" Cheng Hai glared at Cheng Zi Xi, asking coldly.

  Cheng Zixi stared at her fingers, not daring to look at Cheng Hai and Li Lan, but only lowered her head, not daring to speak.

  Cheng Zihan also understood, good guy, just now this girl's emotions were acting in front of her own face, and even deceived herself.

  Cheng Zihan was also a bit careless at the time, which is why she was deceived by Cheng Zixi.

  Cheng Hai and Li Lan had mentioned it before, Cheng Zixi would go to Miami every summer vacation to see the two elders, but just now Cheng Zihan didn't think of it for a while, and after listening to Cheng Zixi's sniffling and tearful complaint, she was actually directly deceived by her.

  Now thinking about it, Cheng Zihan finally realized something was off.

  Something is off about Cheng Zixi, she doesn't seem to be simple at all. If it's not that she has some kind of treasure that can interfere with people's consciousness, then it must be that she herself possesses the ability to influence others' judgment.

  Now Cheng Hai and Li Lan arrived, and Cheng Zihan also immediately woke up.

  She looked at Cheng Zixi with a smile that was not quite a smile, and Cheng Zixi felt his heart flutter under her gaze, lowering his head even further.

  Cheng Hai grabbed her ear again and interrogated: "Speak quickly! What's going on here? Weren't you studying in the country? How did you end up coming here to be a pirate? Tell me the truth!"

  Cheng Zixi wailed and begged for mercy from Li Lan repeatedly.

  Li Lan felt heartache for the child and went over to rescue Cheng Zixi from Cheng Hai's hands, "Alright, don't hurt the kid, Zixi, you'd better tell me what's going on."

  Cheng Zixi looked at Cheng Hai with a sideways glance, and in front of her parents, she didn't dare to pretend anymore, but honestly confessed.

  Cheng Zixi was indeed studying in the country, but one time during a trip to the suburbs, she unexpectedly saved an eccentric old man. The old man took a liking to her at first sight and said that she had extraordinary bones and was a good candidate for martial arts training. He then deceived and coaxed Cheng Zixi into becoming his indoor disciple.

  Cheng Zixi initially thought it was some kind of extraordinary person, and she agreed to follow him after being deceived. However, the old man only taught her how to steal things and pick pockets. Cheng Zixi soon discovered that she had been cheated, but she found herself in a difficult situation and eventually became his accomplice.

  This time in Las Vegas, she came with that old man, after stealing things, the old man left her behind.

  Cheng Zixi was furious, and in a fit of rage, he stole all the casinos and banks in Las Vegas, then was chased around the world and unexpectedly took refuge here with Cheng Zihan.

  This time, the old man brought Cheng Zixi to Las Vegas not for money, but for a thousand-year-old gemstone crown in an ancient tomb deep underground in Las Vegas. The crown is said to have some special abilities, and someone at home offered a high price of tens of billions to buy it. The old man came for the crown and found the ancient tomb, and also stole many valuable burial objects on hand before leaving Cheng Zixi behind and leaving.

  After hearing Cheng Zixi's words, Cheng Zihan was furious and slammed the table violently. The poor table collapsed under her violent force and turned into a pile of fragments on the ground.

  Cheng Zixi shrunk his neck, looked at Cheng Zihan with a frightened face, and secretly pulled Li Lan's clothes to ask in a low voice, "Mom, who is that boy?"

  Li Lan helplessly rubbed Cheng Zixi's head and said softly, "That is your sister."

  Cheng Zixi's face fell as soon as she heard it, and she said bluntly: "You're lying! They all say that my sister is already dead!"

  Cheng Zixi realized he had misspoken as soon as he finished speaking and bit his lower lip, saying nothing.

  Cheng Zihan smiled helplessly and took off the mask on her face in front of Cheng Zixi, "You stupid girl, open your eyes wide and take a good look, who am I really!"

  Cheng Zixi's eyes widened in shock as he stared at Cheng Zihan in front of him, and suddenly let out a loud cry, "Ghost!"

  She shouted and jumped up, hiding behind Li Lan's back.

  Cheng Zihan's mouth twitched, and he gave Cheng Zixi a white eye. "When you stole so many things, why didn't you know how to be afraid? Now that you see me, you finally know how to be afraid. What have you done to wrong me? Why are you so afraid to see me?"

  Cheng Zixi stealthily poked her head out from behind Li Lan's back, and indeed saw Cheng Zihan, who still had a shadow. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and walk out. "Sister, why haven't you appeared even though you're not dead? I thought you were already dead and it scared me to death."

  Cheng Zixi didn't dare to tell Cheng Zihan, she was so afraid to see Cheng Zihan for a very important reason: after she had worshiped that master, under the leadership of that old man, Cheng Zixi went to rob Cheng Zihan's grave, so when she saw Cheng Zihan at that moment, she would be so scared.

  "Go on, what's on your guilty conscience." Cheng Zihan smiled coldly, naturally seeing through Cheng Zixi's little thoughts.

  Cheng Zixi stuck out her tongue and shook her head decisively. "No, I haven't done anything bad, nothing!"

  Cheng Zihan didn't say anything, she just looked at her coldly.

  Cheng Zixi finally succumbed under Cheng Zihan's gaze, looking at him weakly and saying: "That... that... I accidentally stole your tomb."

  Cheng Zihan's face changed upon hearing this, and she wordlessly looked at Cheng Zixi with a silent curse, "Little beast!"

  Li Lan and Cheng Hai also pointed at Cheng Zixi and began to scold him.

  That afternoon became a denunciation meeting of Cheng Hai and Li Lan against Cheng Zixi.

  Cheng Zihan sat aside with a cold eye and watched her being ruthlessly criticized without helping her.

  Cheng Zixi was just short of kneeling down to admit her mistake and shouting loudly, but afterwards she didn't dare to do anything. In the end, all that money was confiscated by Cheng Zihan, and as for Cheng Zixi, she directly handed it over to Cheng Hai and Li Lan.

  Cheng Zixi should be in school now, but she can sneak out, it seems that the so-called militarized school can't control her either.

  Cheng Zihan has already started thinking, when he returns to the country, he will change schools for Cheng Zixi and take care of that old man who deceived his own little sister. At least let him be bedridden for a hundred days.

  An old man sitting on the plane returning to Greater China suddenly felt a chill behind him, shivered violently, and then sneezed several times in a row. Finally, he rubbed his nose and looked out the window with a puzzled expression, wondering who was scolding him?

  The old man thought for a moment, then smiled and continued sleeping.

  At the same time, a group of strangely dressed people walked out of a black cave in Shennongjia. They looked around and finally fixed their eyes on the south.

  They chattered on for a while, bewildered, before several people walked in one direction. They walked quickly and strangely, appearing to stroll slowly, but disappearing hundreds of meters away in the blink of an eye.

  And they were heading in the direction of Wangcheng.

  At that position, they felt a familiar breath, which was left by that person from those years.

  As they arrived on the land of Great China, several old monsters who had been sleeping all along opened their eyes at the same time, and a surge of momentum rose out of thin air, scaring the birds and beasts around them to scatter in all directions.

  Above the Great China, a mass of dark clouds pressed down, as if the world was about to become unpeaceful.

  Digression
