Chapter 34: The Death of Liu Bo

  "Brother Biao, I've made some inquiries, that guy has joined the Dragon Group and is connected with Wu Zong," Zhao Han said.

  "Oh? Wu Zong?"

  "Yes, brother, you've been focusing on your cultivation and didn't care about what's happening outside."

  "It seems that this time we need to change our way of competing." Cai Zhong's eyes flashed a hint of red light, and he said coldly.

  On the other hand.

  "Fan Jiaoguan, you're not serious, are you? You're actually challenging me?" Lei Yu exclaimed with wide eyes.

  "What's the big deal? You don't know your current performance in the Dragon Team, you've been here for over two years and since defeating Chen Chao, the top player in the team, no one dares to challenge you again. If it weren't for the teammates egging you on, I thought you'd be satisfied?" Fan Hongchang also looked helpless, this coach seemed to have lost face, the Dragon Team members had put him in an awkward situation, challenging Lei Yu, if he loses, the team's reputation would be completely lost, and if he doesn't challenge, the teammates would say he's a coward.

  "Alright then, I can also learn some combat skills from you." Lei Yu said with a smile.

  "I'm saying, you don't have to take it so lightly, do you? I ask you, what level have you actually reached? You Leis... Oh no, people like you are too mysterious, can't see through at all." Fan Hongchang found himself misspeaking and hastily corrected himself.

  "This is a secret, but Captain Fan, rest assured, I shouldn't be your opponent." Lei Yu smiled and said: "Shall we have a trial at night?"

  "Ten o'clock, in the second floor training hall, I've already had the team members get ready."

  "Got it, see you tonight."

  Out of the Dragon Group's gate, he usually runs every day and rarely drives. Coincidentally, Nu Hu walked early today, so there was no way to hitch a ride. He looked at his watch, it was just after six o'clock, still some time before ten o'clock, so Lei Yu started strolling around aimlessly.

  Walking into a bustling downtown area, it was unusually lively here, with people packed like sardines, as if something had happened. Lei Yu squeezed into the crowd to join in the excitement, wanting to see what was going on.

  A crowd of people surrounded a man who was curled up on the ground, his body still shaking violently. Lei Yu took a closer look and exclaimed in shock: "Liu Bo!"

  At this shout, the onlookers shifted their gaze to Lei Yu, and a kind-hearted person said, "Young man, hurry up and send him to the hospital, has he contracted some serious illness?"

  He scooped up Liu Bo and rushed out of the crowd, hailed a taxi and hurried to the hospital.

  Liu Bo had been taken into the operating room for two hours, but there was still no news. Lei Yu paced back and forth in the corridor, his mind racing with worries. "What's going on? Why did Liu Bo end up like this? What exactly happened?" He glanced at his watch again, it was already past 8 o'clock. If there was still no news about Liu Bo, he wouldn't go to the team gathering tonight even if they would call him a coward.

  As time ticked away, Lei Yu's heart grew increasingly uneasy. He looked up and saw that the operating room had gone dark. He quickly ran forward, opened the door, and the doctor walked out.

  "Doctor, what's going on? How is the patient?" Lei Yu asked anxiously.

  "Alas!" The doctor shook his head weakly. "Sorry, we've done all we can. If you have anything to say to him, please do it quickly, I think he doesn't have much time left."

  "What!" Lei Yu's head was buzzing and his mind went blank, "Why is this happening? What exactly happened?"

  At this time, several nurses pushed Liu Bo out of the operating room, and Lei Yu followed closely behind, coming to a separate ward.

  Looking at Liu Bo's thin face and sunken eye sockets, Lei Yu felt a sharp pain in his heart. From childhood to adulthood, all the members of the Lei family had been despising him, disdaining him as a bastard, but only Liu Bo had always taken care of his daily life with kindness, sometimes even speaking out against those who mocked him. But he never thought that the person he respected the most would end up like this, how could it not hurt him?

  Liu Bo's eyes slightly loosened, and Lei Yu hastily grabbed his bony hand, his eyes reddening as he said: "Liu Bo, what's wrong with you? Why have you become like this?"

  "Ah, it's Xiao Yu!" Liu Bo said with a weak smile. "Child, don't cry. It seems like fate has brought us together one last time before I take my last breath."

  "Liu Bo, quickly tell me what happened!" Lei Yu asked anxiously.

  "An enemy is an enemy, your mother's enemy."

  "Who is the enemy of my mother?" Lei Yu asked with a fiery gaze.

  "Child, your current strength is not enough to resist them, it's better you don't know yet. But remember one thing, the jade pendant you have has another piece, on your mother's body. If the two pieces of jade pendants get close, there will be a strong resonance, and at that time, you will understand everything."

  Lei Yu subconsciously touched the jade pendant hanging around his neck and asked again, "But when can I see my mother? Where is he?"

  "Don't ask any more questions, I... cough... cough... There are some things you can't know about for now, when the time comes you'll naturally understand. Child, can you call me Grandpa?"

  "Grandfather?" Lei Yu was shocked, what on earth was going on?

  "Child, twenty years ago I followed your mother to the Lei family. Your mother left, and I was allowed to stay behind to take care of you. When you left the Lei family, I was driven out. Your father and mother had a doomed fate back then, but it's you who suffered. The Liu family owes you an apology, child...I..."

  "Grandpa! Grandpa!" Lei Yu grasped Liu Bo's hand tightly, and tears fell uncontrollably onto Liu Bo's thin arm. "No! Grandpa!" Lei Yu wailed loudly, having just learned that the person who had been by his side since childhood was actually his grandfather. Now he was gone, leaving Lei Yu with another devastating blow in a life already filled with hardship.

  In the ward, the crying gradually subsided, and Lei Yu's eyes became even more sharp and terrifying. Suddenly, he thought of something and rushed out of the ward to find the doctor who had just finished the operation.

  "What's wrong with my grandfather? Why is it like this?" Lei Yu asked.

  "We just found this in his body, but we don't know what it is. I'm studying it now." The doctor picked up a black crystal chip from a white basin with tweezers. "This thing was the cause of your grandfather's death. It was found in his brain and had been there for a long time. This chip compressed your grandfather's nerves, and by the time you sent him to the hospital, it was too late."

  In the end, Lei Yu put this black chip into his own wallet.

  "You can't take it away, we need to study it. It might be something that grows on the human body, a new disease." The doctor shouted hastily.

  "Shut up!" Lei Yu angrily said: "If you want to study, find someone else to study with. Hurry up and handle the death certificate, I want to cremate my grandfather as soon as possible."

  No need for a grand funeral, Lei Yu just wants to find a permanent resting place for his grandfather as soon as possible.
