But now, the other party is calling him by name directly. What's going on?
"Who are you?" Luo Ren's gaze was as sharp as a knife, fixed on Lin Yang.
Lin Yang seemed oblivious. He smiled slightly, took out a business card from his pocket, and elegantly handed it to Luo Ren.
The nameplate reads "Lin Yang, owner of Pawnshop No. 8" in bold letters.
Luo Ren took the business card, his brow furrowing slightly: "Lin Yang from Pawnshop No. 8? What do you need me for?"
Lin Yang narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he could see into people's hearts: "You should be here because of your uncle Luo Wenmiao, right?"
Luo Ren was startled.
How could this man, whom he had never met, know his uncle's name?
He couldn't help but re-examine Lin Yang, trying to find the answer in that seemingly ordinary face.
Lin Yang didn't give him much time to think.
He continued, "Is your cousin Luo Pingting's situation exactly the same as your uncle's?"
Luo Ren could no longer sit still!
A look of shock and anxiety flashed across his face: "How did you know? What else do you know?"
Lin Yang smiled slightly, as if everything was under his control:
"I know far more than you can imagine."
"But why should I tell you?"
He paused and continued:
"This world is all about the exchange of benefits."
"If you want to know the truth, you have to pay the corresponding price."
Luo Ren took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "What do you want?"
Lin Yang smiled gently: "Okay, you can come find me at Pawnshop No. 8 later."
"Perhaps I can tell you the truth."
"Of course, you also need to give something in return."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards Kiyo.
Luo Ren was left sitting there alone, his heart filled with doubt and unease.
Lin Yang walked calmly towards Mu Dai.
"Don't worry about this person, I've already talked to him."
Mu Dai looked at Lin Yang, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes: "Brother Yang, what exactly is he here for?"
Lin Yang smiled, a profound look in his eyes:
"Don't worry, he just thought you knew something, so he came to find out."
He paused, then continued, "I've already told him that you know nothing."
"He won't bother you anymore."
Upon hearing Lin Yang's words, Mu Dai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"I really don't know how many people are involved in the matter that Aunt Hong asked me to investigate," Mu Dai couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Yang smiled but didn't say anything more.
He knew that some things were better left for Kiyo to discover on his own.
"If you have any trouble, you can come to the pawnshop to find me."
Lin Yang finished his coffee, left a message, and turned to walk towards the door.
As Mu Dai watched Lin Yang's retreating figure, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.
She didn't know what this feeling was like, she only knew that every time she saw Lin Yang...
She would feel a strange sense of peace.
Not long after Lin Yang returned to Pawnshop No. 8, Luo Ren arrived.
He stood at the doorway, took a deep breath, and then pushed open the door that seemed to lead to another world.
"Welcome to Pawnshop No. 8."
Lin Yang looked at Luo Ren with his usual smile on his face.
Luo Ren looked at Lin Yang, his heart filled with doubt and curiosity:
"Tell me, what will it take for you to tell me the truth?"
Lin Yang pointed to the chair next to him: "Sit down first, let's talk slowly."
After Luo Ren sat down, Lin Yang casually waved his hand, and something new appeared in Luo Ren's mind.
Those were the exchange conditions offered by Pawnshop No. 8.
"These, these are all real?" Luo Ren's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Yang smiled gently, a smile that held an indescribable depth: "More genuine than pearls."
Luo Ren took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down: "Then, what can I offer in return?"
Lin Yang's gaze swept over Luo Ren for a moment, finally settling on his eyes:
"If you just want to know the news, then you need your love; if you want to save your cousin, then you need your lifespan."
Luo Ren was stunned; he hadn't expected Lin Yang to make such a demand.
Love and lifespan were both far too important to him.
However, in order to save his cousin.
He seemed to have no other choice but to uncover the truth behind it all.
“Okay, I agree.” Luo Ren’s voice was firm and strong:
"I need to know what this thing is, and I also need you to save my cousin."
Lin Yang smiled slightly, a hint of approval in his smile: "As you wish."
As Lin Yang finished speaking, a contract appeared out of thin air in Luo Ren's hands.
Luo Ren glanced at the contents of the contract and pressed his fingerprint on it without hesitation.
"Congratulations, the contract signing is complete."
Lin Yang's voice rang out again:
"Come on, take me to see your cousin now."
"I will tell you everything then."
Luo Ren nodded quickly and led Lin Yang away from Pawnshop No. 8.

Luo Ren's residence is a luxurious villa located in the suburbs of the city.
The second floor of the villa was tightly sealed off by a heavy iron gate.
It was as if they were afraid something inside would escape.
The iron gate was covered in mottled rust and densely packed chains.
It all exudes an eerie and mysterious aura.
The first floor is filled with various security measures.
From infrared sensors to surveillance cameras, and even sturdy security grilles on doors and windows.
This clearly demonstrates Luo Ren's caution and prudence.
"To prevent my cousin from going out and hurting people, we had no choice but to lock her on the second floor."
Luo Ren's voice was somewhat low, revealing a hint of helplessness.
He led Lin Yang through numerous lines of defense and finally arrived at the iron gate on the second floor.
Lin Yang frowned slightly as he looked at the iron gate in front of him.
Through the gap in the iron gate.
Behind the door was a dimly lit room.
The walls were covered with thick sponges.
This was obviously to prevent the people inside from getting injured.
In the very center of the room was a bed.
A woman dressed in white was lying on the bed.
Her long hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and her eyes were closed, as if she had already lost the breath of life.
“She is my cousin Luo Pinting.” Luo Ren’s voice trembled slightly.
He looked at the woman on the bed, his eyes filled with helplessness.
Lin Yang carefully observed Luo Pinting's condition.
He discovered that there seemed to be a strange power flowing through her, a power filled with violence and evil.
.... ..... ....
He frowned, then turned to Luo Ren and said, "Open the door and let me in."
Luo Ren's face was filled with worry: "She's acting very strangely right now, her strength has become unusually great, I'm afraid..."
"Afraid I'll get hurt?" Lin Yang smiled confidently.
"Have you forgotten that I'm the owner of Pawnshop No. 8? This kind of trivial matter is nothing to me."
Hearing Lin Yang's words, Luo Ren felt much more at ease.
He turned around and called out, "Uncle Tan, could you come over here for a moment?"
