Chapter Thirty-One: The Stunning News

  When we came back to the warehouse where Fat Brother Chicken lived again, both of them were extremely shocked at our appearance, but after the shock.

  "Hey, hey, hey, Lin Hao, it's so late, aren't you hungry? Come on, let's go get some midnight snacks."

  "It's already this late, how can we not have a midnight snack? Let's go, I know there's a great place to eat at the night market nearby. We should eat first when we arrive."

  Okay, I'm really getting a bit hungry, been busy all day and haven't had a chance to eat properly.

  "Boss, bring a roasted fish, and then a dry pot beef, braised pork trotters, and also..."

  "My goodness, you two brothers, are you sure this is a midnight snack?"

  But what's even more frustrating is that the two of them ate like they were starving, and at least 80% of the dishes on the table ended up in their stomachs. They almost got into a fight over food.

  It's like they're going to flip the table, it's too embarrassing, are these still those two Jiangbei Double Heroes? I really don't want to recognize these two people.

  …..

  Half an hour later, "Uh, I'm full, but I still want to eat more. That one, that one, how about another plate of spicy peanuts?" said the fatty, rubbing his round belly.

  "Well, I think the stir-fried little lobsters are more delicious, how about another plate?"

  I: …..

  Lan Jie: .....

  "Alright, I was just kidding, go ahead and ask, I know you guys have a lot of questions." Seeing our uncomfortable expressions, Chicken Elder wiped the oil stain on his mouth, looking somewhat embarrassed.

  It's been only a week since we left, but the people here have changed so much. I exchanged a glance with Lan sister, and we both felt a bit helpless. Now you're embarrassed?

  "I want to ask about my brother's situation, Li Huaguang handed my brother over to those evil people, in the end whose hands did he fall into?" Lan finally couldn't hold back and asked the question she most wanted to know.

  "This is actually unknown to anyone, but it can be guessed that there's an 80% chance it's in the hands of San Shendao." The fat man replied with a toothpick in his mouth, somewhat absent-mindedly.

  "Three Gods' Way, why? My brother has no grudges with them, they don't need to detain my brother!" Lan sister asked anxiously again.

  "Who says there's no grudge, but the key to the matter is that it happened to him," Fatso pointed at me and continued, "You and Lin Hao disappeared from Villa No. 7, and nobody could find you. They had to go settle accounts with Li Huaguang instead. To protect himself, Li Huaguang pushed your brother out, and they thought that you siblings and Lin Hao had an unusual relationship, so they detained him. Anyway, as long as they have him in their hands, you two will eventually show up."

  Lan sister looked at me with a complex expression after hearing this, although she had previously suspected this, but really hearing this reason, her heart was still very complicated. If it weren't for the Songshan trip, she would have definitely tied me up to exchange for her brother, but now it's almost impossible.

  "How can I rescue my brother?" Lan sister asked after taking a deep breath. Since it's impossible to exchange, then we have no choice but to use force.

  "That's easy, find the Three Gods' Path and wipe out everyone, OK?" said the fatty with a raised eyebrow.

  I'm speechless, fatty's words are so short-sighted, what kind of idea is this, it's no different from saying nothing.

  Fat boy's words made me roll my eyes at him fiercely, and Lan sister also had a face of speechlessness. If it was that easy to do, we wouldn't have come to find you?

  "Alright, Fatty, stop teasing them. Actually, you can rest assured about your brother's situation. Their goal is to use your brother to lure you out, so there won't be any danger for the time being. And it's easy to rescue your brother too - just expose your own tracks and they'll come knocking on your door." Chicken Brother saw Fatty with a careless expression, suddenly feeling a bit anxious, and kept using his eyes to signal to Fatty, looking at the marks on the table, this meal wasn't cheap.

  Ji Ye's words made Lan Jie clench her fists, although she knew this was the best choice, but still felt very resentful. Waiting for the enemy to come to their doorstep was a terrible thing, and at that time they would have no initiative.

  "Never mind, we can discuss the matter of saving Ning Ge later. Now, tell me what exactly happened in Jiangbei this week. I have a bad feeling about it." I took a deep breath and asked the two of them. The changes in Jiangbei might be related to me, so I couldn't be careless.

  I found out that Jiangbei's abnormality was unexpected for both Fatso and Chicken Grandpa. After exchanging a glance, Chicken Grandpa said "Do you really want to know?"

  "Go ahead", I said in my heart, why would I still ask you?

  "Since you want to know, I'll tell you, but don't regret it later. A week ago, after you escaped from Villa No. 7, Ling Yue of the Three Gods Sect and Xiang Zuoshi of the White Tiger Sect gathered many evil Taoist practitioners to surround Li Huaguang's home, forcing him to use Li Ning to calm down the crowd's anger. After the evil Taoists retreated, they began searching for your whereabouts, but to no avail. However, at this time, a person codenamed 'Lihuo' from the Seventh Division of the National Security Bureau suddenly appeared in Jiangbei."

  When mentioning the fierce fire, the faces of the two fat men were somewhat unnatural, but they quickly hid it. Then he said: "The fierce fire launched a hurricane operation in Jiangbei, commanding special police, armed police and special forces, sweeping away all members of the Three Gods Sect in Jiangbei overnight, even their old nest was overturned. In the next three or four days, they deeply dug up the underground lines of the Three Gods Sect and other evil sects. The government also took this opportunity to launch anti-corruption and anti-crime campaigns. Suddenly, the dark forces in Jiangbei suffered heavy losses, it can be said that they were swept away. Those surviving cult members also fled Jiangbei one after another. So I dare guarantee that within a month, the public security in Jiangbei will be the best in decades."

  "Are the three gods of the Seventh Group dead?" I frowned and asked, the government has finally gotten involved, it's hard to say whether this is good or bad luck.

  "Dead light, how is that possible? Jiangbei is one of the cities where the Three Gods Sect operates intensively. The depth of their foundation is simply terrifying. Lihuo launched a surprise attack, but still leaked news and let many people escape. It was only two days ago that the news came out, and it turned out that local officials were also involved with them." Pangzi laughed and said, in fact, the Three Gods Sect is considered an evil sect by them, but in the eyes of many people, they are actually high-ranking individuals who have achieved enlightenment. They are folk heroes because the Three Gods Sect always appears as a high-ranking individual in front of wealthy officials, doing many things for them, and many people owe them favors.

  "What about my brother, was he taken away too?" Lan sister asked again. The fierce fire almost swept across all the dark forces in Jiangbei, so it was inevitable that there would be an exchange of gunfire, and she was worried whether her brother had been affected or not.

  "Don't worry, your brother is fine. At that time, he was the target of contention among various evil forces, and San Shendao protected him well. Moreover, Ling Yue from San Shendao used him to heavily deceive Xiang Zuoshi, causing Xiang Zuoshi and Lie Huo to engage in a fierce battle, almost losing his life. Damn it! Ling Yue's Taoist skills are not great, but her intelligence is extraordinary. From now on, when you encounter her, be careful, if you can solve the problem with force, don't show mercy." Pangzi shouted loudly. Now, the story of Ling Yue deceiving Xiang Zuoshi has become a classic in the Jianghu, and it's not allowed to be mentioned without being cautious.

  Lan sister heard that Li Ning was fine, and immediately put down her heart. We then chatted about many other things until almost dawn before heading back. The warehouse on the side of the fat guy is very large, enough to accommodate me and Lan sister. However, all the equipment on Lan sister's body had been used up, even the handgun was snatched from those two bodyguards. Without any equipment in hand, she felt uneasy, so she didn't go back to sleep at all. She took some money and went to the black market.

  And after I went back, I didn't feel sleepy at all, so I had to pull the fat boy and chat with him. They also seemed to have some things they hadn't said to outsiders, so in the warehouse, we gathered together again.

  "Lin Hao, I know you have a lot of questions to ask, go ahead and we'll answer whatever we can," Ji Ye said with a profound meaning.

  I slowly unwrapped the gauze on my right hand, revealing the eye in the center of my palm. My biggest question was still about this reincarnation eye. "Do you know any other information about this reincarnation eye?"

  "I don't know," said the fat man, Chicken Grandpa, shaking his head at the same time. "The secrets of the Wheel Eye are not many, but now all parties are investigating, and whatever secrets will be exposed sooner or later. But I think you should be more concerned about your safety issues now."

  "I'm safe, I know it, but I'm not afraid." I replied confidently, with the legacy of Kouken, as long as you give me a little time, I have confidence to keep my safety.

  "It seems you still haven't realized your situation, the reincarnation eye is related to the issue of longevity, and those who want to live forever are not just limited to those evil Daoists. Once the secrets of the reincarnation eye are all dug out, various parties will come to your side, with schemes and plots, cleverly taking advantage of you, it's not something you can imagine. At that time, even a small mistake on your part will put you in mortal danger, and this is not all, once the country gets involved, do you think you can escape?" Ji Ye coldly smiled and said, nowadays the entire Xuanxue world is turbulent with hidden killing intent, let alone someone like Lin Hao who has no background, even they don't dare guarantee their own safety.

  "The government, they also know?" After going through so much, I understand that compared to the government, those people from the underworld and the righteous path are nothing. If the country takes action, he can't stop it because he can't withstand it.

  "It's almost certain, the fierce fire sweeping across Jiangbei, and the news obtained will not be few. Over the years, there have been many rumors about longevity, most of which are false. So they may not take it seriously yet, but now both the orthodox and evil paths are digging up information about the Wheel of Rebirth. They will know sooner or later, and those high-ranking people are even more afraid of death. Therefore, when that time comes, you will be the most dangerous one." Ji Ye explained, they have been in this world for so many years, and those who hold great power are deeply aware of how much they fear death. When the Wheel of Rebirth appears, they will definitely not let it go.

  "Now, what if they go to my parents' workplace? What if those evil people threaten them? I'm not afraid of myself, but the country... thinking of my parents' honest and kind faces, I suddenly felt anxious."

  "Don't worry, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, your parents are fine. And you should thank them too. It's because the evil people have been keeping an eye on you and your family for too long that they've now sent someone to protect your family," Ji Ye replied, and as he said this, he couldn't help but admire my good luck. Previously, I had disappeared from their sight, so the evil people were anxious and immediately sent someone to monitor my parents, trying to get some information from them. And when Lie Huo was sweeping away those people, he also found out about this and had someone clean up the monitors, and even notified the local police to protect them.

  "It's fine as long as nothing happens, it's fine as long as nothing happens" I won't think about being lucky due to misfortune or anything like that, the best thing is for nothing to happen.

  "By the way, Lin Hao, how much do you know about this reincarnation eye?" Clucking Old Man suddenly remembered the news he received two days ago and asked with some doubt while staring at the eye in my hand.

  "I don't know, didn't I say it before? The family heirloom of Kang City, and then my nasal blood merged with it. Oh, right, I remember Li Huaguang said he would help me find information about Li Mingxue, how is it going? Who was she killed by?" For some reason, although I trust Ji Ye and the others very much, I don't dare to tell them about Kou Qianzhi's news. I don't dare to reveal all my trump cards, I still want to keep one hand.

  "Li Mingxue? I don't know about that, and Li Huaguang probably couldn't find out either. It was too chaotic here recently, and there were too many people who appeared that night, it's really unclear what happened," Ji Ye replied. According to my retelling, two fake Li Mingxues appeared that night, one of whom has been confirmed to be Ling Yue from the Three Gods Sect, but the other is completely unknown, as if this person didn't exist at all, very mysterious. So it's normal that Li Huaguang couldn't investigate it."

  A hint of helplessness flashed through my mind, and I really felt guilty towards Li Mingxue. My affairs had implicated her, and now I still didn't have the ability... but when I become stronger, I will definitely find the murderer and avenge her. And as for Kang Cheng, who exactly killed him? I still don't know. Everything in the past was full of suspicious points, but unfortunately, I didn't have any power at all.

  "Come on, Lin Hao, anyway we're idle and have nothing to do, let's calculate your fate for you. What are your eight characters of birth?" Looking at me silently, the fatty suddenly said.

  "Alright." As for fortune-telling, I didn't have any particular aversion to it, so I just told them my birth date and let them figure out the eight characters themselves.

  "Hmm?" Fatso stretched out his hand to pinch his fingers, but in an instant, he let out a muffled hum, his face turned pale, and his body swayed, almost falling over. Chicken Ye's expression also changed, quickly supporting Fatso.

  "What's wrong, what's wrong?" I asked hastily, it was just a fortune-telling, no need to be like this.

  "It's nothing, it's just that your fate is a bit special, I couldn't calculate it, I guess it's because of the reincarnation eye. After a long time, Fatso finally caught his breath and spoke slowly, but I saw the shock in his expression, although it was fleeting, I clearly saw it, I know, Fatso probably discovered another secret."

  I wanted to ask more questions, but neither Fatso nor Chicken Grandpa showed any intention of revealing anything. After some idle chatter, they hastily left.
