Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

Chapter 516

After Xie Yuchen was sure that the first wave of people following Wu Xie were successfully sent to the police station, a huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. His tense nerves were slightly relieved and he temporarily relaxed his vigilance.

He took a long breath, then walked to the table and pulled the white paper. Now, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang have left Yun Province. As for where their next destination will be, there is no definite news yet.

As for Hei Xia Zi, Xie Yuchen cleverly sent him to Sichuan. This was because the man surnamed Wang in the dungeon had mentioned that Wang Zanghai was likely hiding in the mountains and forests of Sichuan.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuchen couldn't help but frown. He knew that it would not be easy to find Wang Zanghai in that vast forest, but he had no choice but to try.

At the same time, Xie Yuchen also realized that Aunt Liao was getting older and older, and he really couldn't bear to let her worry about him all day long. After all, his father was not here now, and he was the only one who could make Aunt Liao worry.

Just as Xie Yuchen was lost in thought, a water mirror suddenly appeared beside him without warning. In the water mirror, the figures of his father and daddy, whom he had just been talking about, suddenly appeared.

Hua Yu looked at Xie Yuchen in the water mirror and asked with concern, "Xiao Huaer, are they desperate?"

Xie Yuchen shook his head slowly and sighed, "There is no definite news yet, but judging from the current situation, it should be soon! After all, Hei Xiazi has been looking for Wang Zanghai in a forest in Sichuan. If he really finds him, I'm afraid he will fight to the death at all costs."

Hua Yu was silent for a while, as if thinking deeply. After a while, he spoke: "Xiao Hua, I think you can arrange a fake death in the next few days and take this opportunity to escape from Yanjing. When the time comes, you don't need to contact anyone and go directly to Changbai Mountain."

Xie Yuchen was stunned when he heard Hua Yu's words. He obviously did not expect Hua Yu to make such a suggestion. He quickly asked, "But, what about Aunt Liao? There are other things..."

However, Hua Yu did not let Xie Yuchen continue. He interrupted Xie Yuchen's question and explained, "Only when the people closest to you believe that you are really dead will they relax their vigilance. In this way, they may reveal their flaws because of this."

Xie Yuchen seemed to have thought of something, "Dad, after I fake my death and leave Yanjing, what should I do next?"

Hua Yu knew that with Xie Yuchen's intelligence, he must have some guesses, "Xiao Hua, the next thing is not something you can handle now. When you get to Changbai Mountain, with the help of the spiritual power there, maybe we can return to that world for a short time."

Xie Yuchen heard that his father and the others could come back, but he also heard the brevity in the words, and his eyes showed worry, "Dad, what is the price of your coming back? If the price is too high, I would rather you not come back. We can take our time. Anyway, we have been waiting for so many years, and there is no need to rush."

Hua Yu rejected Xie Yuchen's proposal, "Xiao Hua, you have to know that such an opportunity is rare. It will take thousands of years to find such an opportunity again. We can afford to wait, but can ordinary people who are struggling for life afford to wait?"

Xie Yuchen was stunned and didn't understand what Hua Yu meant. Hua Yu continued, "Do you know what the ultimate goal of Pangu's remnant is?"

Xie Yuchen stuttered as he spoke, "Isn't his purpose to be resurrected? What else could it be?"

Hua Yu was no longer as calm as before, and looked at Xie Yuchen with a serious expression, "His goal is indeed to resurrect, but what price do you have to pay to resurrect just one Chaos God and Demon?"

Xie Yuchen might have had some guesses in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak out nor was he willing to.

Hua Yu saw Xie Yuchen's hesitation and broke his fantasy directly. "The price is that all the living things on the entire blue planet where you live will be turned into ashes. And not only the blue planet, but also other planets will be directly broken apart because of Pangu's purpose, just to revive him!"

Xie Yuchen's heart skipped a beat. If the price of Pangu's resurrection was just a few lives, perhaps the people above could consider using those death row prisoners in prison as replacements. After all, the Dragon Country has a god in charge, so it is confident when facing other countries!

"Xiaohua, I don't want to see you get hurt even a little bit, even if it's just a little breakage!" Hua Yu said earnestly, "You are in Changbai Mountain. Even if we fail in the end, Uncle Liu and the others will be able to help you stay safely in the prehistoric world."

Xie Yuchen hesitated for a moment. He knew that Hua Yu's words made sense, but it was not easy to implement this plan. He thought for a moment, and finally decided to follow Hua Yu's suggestion and nodded in agreement.

"Okay, I understand. Then how should I arrange this fake death? Also, after I escape, what should I do with those people who once helped me?" Xie Yuchen asked, hoping to get more detailed guidance.

Hua Yu smiled slightly, "Silly child! The person who can help you doesn't necessarily have to be a real person! Don't forget, they also have puppets in their hands. Don't you have such a thing in your hands?"

After Hua Yu's suggestion, Xie Yuchen suddenly realized, "The puppets they have are exactly the same as the ones I have. If I let the puppets help me complete this fake death, not only can I escape successfully, but I can also cause divisions among them."

Hua Yu: "Yes, they are brought together because of their own interests. Such a relationship is the most fragile. Xiaohua, you know this best in the business world."

Xie Yuchen: "Benefits can make two families that originally hated each other reconcile, and can also make two rivals temporarily form an alliance to deal with foreign enemies together."

This time Hua Yu did not speak, but Zhang Qiling, who was usually silent, spoke up, "The world is bustling with people because of profit. The world is bustling with people because of profit."

In Xie Yuchen's impression, Zhang Qiling has always stood behind Hua Yu. He is always silent but always appears by his side when Xie Yuchen needs him, providing him with a support.

In Xie Yuchen's heart, Zhang Qiling is like the most important pillar of the family. Whenever Xie Yuchen looks back, he can always see Zhang Qiling standing silently behind him, always supporting all his ideas.

Zhang Qiling looked at Xie Yuchen with relief, "Xiaohua, no matter what decision you make, as long as you look back, your father and I will always be there for you, supporting you and protecting you!"

After Xie Yuchen and Hua Yu ended their conversation, he immediately came to the dungeon of Xie Mansion. Without telling anyone, he activated several puppets hidden in the deepest part and placed them around his room.

When Xie Yuchen appeared in the Xie Mansion with those puppets, everyone was stunned for a moment, except Butler Xie, who seemed to have expected it. He came to Xie Yuchen's courtyard alone at night.

Butler Xie stood in front of Xie Yuchen, just staring at him blankly, and then chattered on and on about how Xie Yuchen was so tiny when he was a child, and would always grin no matter who held him in their arms. Now he has grown up so much, if the master still saw Xie Yuchen like this, he might be very pleased!

Xie Yuchen didn't know what to say, but he could feel that Butler Xie seemed to have noticed what he was going to do next.

Before leaving Xie Yuchen's courtyard, Butler Xie said something to Xie Yuchen that puzzled him.

"Young Master, don't worry! I promised the master that I would protect you for the rest of my life, but unfortunately I am old and useless now. Now it is time for me to go see the master."

Xie Yuchen's words to persuade him to stay were stuck in his throat. He knew who the master was that Butler Xie was talking about. It was definitely not his biological father, Jie Lianhuan, who had faked his death and escaped and now had completely disappeared. It was his grandfather, Xie Jiu, a talented and romantic man who was once on par with his master Er Yuehong in Sand City.

Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were driving on the highway. After a heated discussion, they finally decided to set their next destination as Guilin, Guangxi. It is said that the landscapes in Guilin are the best in the world. They have to go and see it to know why!

Hei Xia Zi was shuttling through the mountains and forests of Sichuan and Shu, cursing, "Wang Zanghai, why did he have to hide in such a place where no one even shits?"

Xie Yuchen was also taking the time to arrange his own fake death, while Butler Xie was secretly clearing away all prying eyes for him, and even put himself under everyone's eyes, just to buy some time for his young master.

When Xie Yuchen had everything ready, he opened his phone and looked at the good morning and good night messages from Hei Xia Zi, as well as all the usual chatter. For a moment, he wanted to confess everything to him, but this matter could not allow him to make any mistakes. So he hardened his heart and did not reply to Hei Xia Zi's text message.

When Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi arrived in Guilin, Hei Xia Zi finally found the place where Wang Zanghai might be hiding. Then they received news that Xie Yuchen lost control of his car while out and hit an oncoming cement truck, and the car Xie Yuchen was riding in exploded on the spot.

When Wu Xie received the news, his legs went weak and he had to rely on Fatty Wang to barely stand up.

"Young Master San, Master Huaer had a very good relationship with you when he was alive. You must take care of yourself!" The visitor looked at Wu Xie with a playful expression and said "please accept my condolences", but his actions revealed a sense of gloating.

After receiving the news, Hei Xia Zi, contrary to his usual behavior, did not show any sadness. Instead, he calmly followed the visitor back to Xie's mansion in Yanjing.

Hei Xia Zi stood in front of Xie Yuchen's cenotaph, without a single tear in his eyes, and not even a trace of sadness on his face. Everyone thought that the relationship between Hei Xia Zi and Xie Yuchen was just so-so.

There was someone whispering not far away, and Hei Xia Zi heard it all.

"This black bear doesn't love Xie Yuchen as much as the legend says! Look at the funeral, there's not a single tear!"

"Who knows? What does other people's business have to do with us? We just need to take care of our own little piece of land!"

"If you ask me, it's probably Xie Yuchen himself who's holding the black bear. Otherwise, even if he had a dog or a cat, he would be sad and shed a few tears if it died!"

"Don't talk nonsense! Who is Xie Yuchen? He is a person you and I can only meet. Aren't you afraid that he will bankrupt your husband's small company?"

Hei Xiazi looked in the direction of the sound and saw two women, one fat and one thin, standing together in the corner. The fat one pushed the thin one impatiently. The thin one said a few more words in a somewhat indignant tone. Hei Xiazi didn't hear it clearly, but vaguely remembered that the thin one said a few more slanderous words.

Hei Xiazi slowly woke up and found himself in Xie Yuchen's bedroom. Suddenly, a subtle sound came into his ears, as if the curtains were slowly being drawn. Then, a strong beam of sunlight poured in like a torrent, shining directly on his face.

Hei Xiazi subconsciously squinted his eyes, trying to block out the dazzling light. However, just as he was getting used to the sudden brightness, a gentle hand brushed across his cheek like a feather. The touch was so familiar that an indescribable sense of intimacy surged in his heart.

"Blind man, are you still sleeping? Are you so tired? Get up quickly! Didn't you agree to accompany me to the opera theater today?" A gentle voice sounded in his ears, with a little bit of anger and expectation.

Hei Xiazi suddenly opened his eyes, and his sight instantly met the person in front of him. Xie Yuchen was standing in front of him, with a faint smile on his lips and clear and bright eyes. His figure was so real, as if he had never left.

Hei Xia Zi felt a surge of ecstasy in his heart and he almost blurted out: "I knew they were liars! Aren't you still standing in front of me?" However, when he tried to jump off the bed to hug Xie Yuchen, he found that his body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force and he could not move.

He stared intently, and suddenly, he was surprised to find that there was a piece of transparent glass between himself and Xie Yuchen, like an insurmountable barrier that separated them into two completely different worlds.

The glass seemed fragile, as if it would break with just a slight touch, but no matter how hard Hei Xiazi tried, he could not break through it. He could only watch as Xie Yuchen was so close, yet so far away that he could not reach him no matter how hard he tried.

Xie Yuchen seemed unaware of Hei Xiazi's presence. He hummed "The Drunken Concubine" leisurely, and the graceful melody echoed in the air, like weeping and complaining. He walked towards the light step by step, and each step seemed so light, as if he was about to step into a dreamlike world.

Hei Xiazi's eyes followed Xie Yuchen's figure closely, watching him walk farther and farther away until he finally disappeared in the light. As Xie Yuchen left, his voice gradually became blurred, as if it was swallowed by the glass.

Hei Xia Zi was extremely anxious. He shouted at the top of his lungs, hoping to attract Xie Yuchen's attention. However, all his shouts fell on deaf ears and received no response at all.

It was not until Xie Yuchen completely disappeared that the glass that had originally stood in front of Hei Xia Zi seemed to have lost its power and no longer posed a hindrance to him.

Seeing this, Hei Xiazi rushed forward without hesitation, his body rushing out like an arrow from a bow. However, because he was too strong, he stumbled and fell directly into the flower field.

"Uncle Huaer! How can you be so cruel to leave the blind man alone like this!" Hei Xiazi's voice was full of pain and despair. His tears were welling up in his eyes but he stubbornly refused to fall.

"Blind man has so many more things to say to you!" he murmured to himself, as if Xie Yuchen could still hear his voice.

"The blind man has saved a lot of money and is preparing to propose to you!" Hei Xiazi's voice became lower and lower, and he almost choked at last.
