Chapter Twenty-Four: The End of Love

  Suppose one day, when you are alone at home, you suddenly feel that a statue in your house is looking at you like a living person. What would you feel? Jin and Lan were having this feeling right now. The two of them had lived for over twenty years and had never encountered such a strange thing before. They only felt their hearts numb, their scalps tingling, every inch of skin on their bodies emitting cold air, their legs weakening, almost collapsing to the ground.

  The two of them unconsciously took two steps back, and those eyes were still staring at the two of them, as if they were alive.

  "What's going on with this thing? I feel like it's staring at us." Blue Heartlin's voice was shaking slightly.

  Jin Tianxing's voice also trembled slightly, "I have the same feeling, could it be that this damned thing has come to life?"

  "How is that possible? It's just a stone, how can it come to life. In mythological stories, the treasures of the gods are all living, you don't think this statue is also a treasure of the gods, do you?"

  "I was just kidding." The two of them stood there facing each other like a statue.

  "Amitabha Buddha, have the two donors gotten up? Master Yi De asked me to invite the two donors to the dining hall for breakfast."

  Two people were shocked, and when they looked at the Buddha statue again, the middle eye of the three-eyed Buddha's head was closed. Neither of them saw how it closed. Blue Heart Lin asked, "How did its eyes close? Was what we just saw an illusion?"

  "Its eyes were definitely open just now, it's unreasonable for two people to have an illusion."

  "Have you two donors woken up?"

  Jin Tianxing opened the door and saw the little monk who led the way yesterday standing outside. "Trouble the little monk to thank Master Yi De for me, we have very important things to rush back to the city, so we won't eat breakfast in the temple."

  "Oh, I see." The little monk looked at them with a puzzled expression and said as he left, "The two donors look unwell, need to pay attention to rest."

  The two of them looked at each other, and after a word from Xiao He Shang, they both noticed that their complexions were off-color, as if it wasn't just due to lack of rest. The two of them had always had good complexions, so how could they have changed like this in just one night? Their gazes fell on the three-eyed Buddha's head on the table, and indeed, there was something strange about it.

  Jin Tian Xing put the San Yan Buddha's head into a black wooden box and pulled Lan Xin Lin to run out of the temple. "Where are we going?"

  "Time is pressing, let's go check the data of the plane crash three years ago first, then deal with the Three-eyed Buddha head and keep it by our side, we won't live for long."

  "My family has had detailed information about the plane crash three years ago."

  "Let's go to your place first." The two of them went out and hailed a taxi, hurrying back to Lan Xinlin's home.

  Lan Tian and Chen Ya were having breakfast at home when Lan Xinlin rushed in.

  Chen Ya rolled her eyes at her, "Crazy girl, where did you go crazy again last night?"

  Lan Xinlin didn't bother to speak, and walked straight into her room, rummaging through a pile of books. Chen Ya complained again, "What are you looking for now? Look at the mess you've made of the house, and you never clean up."

  Jin Tianxing also rushed in, and Lan Tian was drinking porridge. "Young man, you come too, it's still hot."

  "No need, I'm not hungry."

  Lan Tian Education Road: "Not eating breakfast is bad for your body, you are young now, when you get old and have health problems, it will be too late to regret."

  Jin Tian walked awkwardly and scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

  Lan Xinlin pushed Chen Ya out of the room, then pulled Jin Tianxing into the room. "I have something to discuss with Tianxing, you two can eat breakfast at ease." After finishing speaking, she closed the door and continued searching for her materials.

  Chen Ya stood at the door, stamping her foot in anger, "You don't even manage your own child, look what's become of him now."

  Lan Tian grasped Chen Ya's hand, "Old lady, you're being too nosy, the kids have grown up now, you've worried for a lifetime, it's time to take a break."

  Chen Ya sighed, "I'm just a worrisome person, none of you in the Lan family are easy to get along with."

  "Come on and eat." Blue Sky used a spoon to scoop up some porridge and brought it to Chen Ya's mouth, "Eat, dear wife, you've worked hard, I'll feed you."

  Chen Ya's cheeks were slightly flushed, "I'll go myself, it's not right for the children to see us like this."

  Blue sky smiles slightly.

  Lan Xinlin was still searching for her materials in the room, "It's strange, I saw it when I cleaned up a few days ago, where did I put it?"

  "Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Jin Tian Xing's heart was very complicated. If the information on Blue Heart Lin's file was true and Roy was indeed on the same plane as her sister, then how did she survive falling from several thousand meters high without dying? And why would she appear again in his life after a year? Since Roy had experienced the plane crash, she must have known that this area of water was problematic. So why did she come back? Was it... Jin Tian Xing didn't dare to think further.

  "Finally found it." Lan Xinlin found the file folder from the deepest part of the drawer, with a stack of papers inside, slightly yellowed.

  "Give it to me quickly." Jin Tianxing snatched the file, opened the first page and saw the passenger list. He was shocked to see Luo Yi's name on it. Further down were detailed information and photos of each passenger obtained by Lan Xinlin using her police identity. When he saw Luo Yi's photo, Jin Tianxing was stunned. Except for the short hair and the lack of a vertical mark on his forehead, everything else looked exactly like the Luo Yi he knew. Could the thought that flashed through his mind earlier be true? Jin Tianxing's hand went limp, and the file fell to the ground.

  "Are you okay?" Blue Heartlin wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say.

  Jin Tian Xing closed his eyes and fell onto Lan Xin Lin's bed. Lan Xin Lin sat beside the bed, watching him.

  Time flows quietly.

  Two hours later, Jin Tianxing opened his eyes and said, "I think your sister is still alive."

  "Really? How did you know?"

  "Judging from the boarding information, your sister's seat and Roy's seat are only one row apart. The two of them were in the area that was hit by the white light and disappeared. Since Roy is fine, your sister must also be alive. The passengers around them are probably all alive too."

  "If she's still alive, why doesn't she come home?"

  "I don't know about that, Roy is an orphan, she doesn't have a home, I wanted to give her a home, I thought I could give her a home, but she abandoned me...... Haha......" Jin Tian Xing burst out laughing, the more he laughed, the crazier he became.

  "She must have left you reluctantly, don't laugh, you scared me."

  The laughter suddenly stopped, and Jin Tianxing pointed to his chest and said, "My heart is broken, I'm tired, and I want to find a place to rest for a while."

  "Don't be like this." Lan Xinlin shouted loudly, "It's not just a woman who left you, what's the big deal? There are many women in the world, no one is unique to anyone. In today's era, whoever leaves whoever won't die. If you're a man, hurry up and cheer up, we still have to investigate further, we need to deal with San Yan Fo Shou, uncover the secrets of Gui Zhong, and eliminate the Zong Tian Group. If they are still alive, we also need to figure out why they left us, don't you want to know? Are you willing to give up like this? Many secrets are right in front of us, just take a few more steps forward and the truth will be revealed. If you give up like this, I'll despise you, look down on you, you won't live up to your name, Jin Tian Xing, I think it's better to call you Jin Bai Chi."

  Lan Xilin's scolding left Jin Tianhang stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. "What I meant was that I didn't get a good rest last night, so I wanted to sleep in for a bit longer. Although what happened with Luo Yi was a huge blow to me, I won't give up. You're being a bit too tense, aren't you?"

  Lan Xinlin's face suddenly turned red, and she leaned against her head and said, "Then you can sleep on my bed for a while."

  "You didn't rest well last night either, aren't you tired? I slept on your bed, where did you sleep?"

  "I'm going to sleep in my mom's bed for another two hours, and after lunch, we'll go deal with San Yan Fo Shou." Lan Xinlin ran out of her room without looking back.

  "This girl is a bit strange." Jin Tian Xing lay on his bed, closing his eyes and seeing only Lan Xin Lin's shadow in front of him.
