Chapter 289: Chapter 0289: Blood Type (Fourth Update)_1
“Type A.”
“What about your mom?”
“I’m not sure, why do you suddenly ask this?” Yang Xinyi asked curiously.
“I just saw that your dad is Type O, you’re Type A, so your mom must be Type A,” Ye Xiong said.
“Then it must be, if Mom wasn’t Type A, then I wouldn’t be their biological child,” Yang Xinyi said with a laugh.
“That’s not necessarily true, it’s possible you are a love child your dad had with a mistress on the side,” Ye Xiong laughed heartily.
“My dad is not like that at all, he may be a little snobbish, but he’s been really good to my mom. When he was in charge of the company, there was never any gossip about him. You think every man is like you, ruled by his lower half,” Yang Xinyi gave him a disdainful look.
“That’s because your dad isn’t as handsome as I am.”
“Morals,” Yang Xinyi scolded.
Next, the two went to a jewelry store to buy jewelry.
While trying on jewelry, Ye Xiong noticed that Yang Xinyi was wearing a crescent pendant around her neck, which looked somewhat familiar.
“How come I’ve never seen you wear this pendant before?” Ye Xiong quickly asked.
“It’s always been at home, but ever since I nearly had an accident last time, my mom found out and forced me to wear it, saying that the pendant had been blessed at a Buddhist temple to ensure my safety,” Yang Xinyi explained.
The last time she was nearly killed by an assassin, Yang Xinyi had been scared up till now. She still felt horrified whenever that incident was mentioned.
“Let me have a look.”
Yang Xinyi took off the necklace and handed it to him.
Ye Xiong examined it and saw that the pendant was crescent-shaped with a base of white jade, bordered with more white jade, and in the middle was a hollow where a purple jade was set, giving it a very grand appearance.
Why does this jade look so familiar?
He quickly pulled out a similar crescent-shaped pendant from his person and compared the two.
This pendant had been left to Ye Xiong by the deputy leader of the Reaper Squad, Qiao Yang, who had taken a bullet for Ye Xiong. Before dying, he asked him to find his long-lost sister using the pendant, mentioning that she also had an identical one.
Could it be such a coincidence?
Ye Xiong placed both pendants side by side, comparing them.
The differences were quite significant.
Xinyi’s pendant was clearly a bit smaller, with a piece of green jade in the middle; while the pendant left by Qiao Yang was slightly larger, with Blood Jade in the center.
However, in terms of style, the two pendants were very similar, as if they were made by the same craftsman.
“Where did you get this pendant?” Yang Xinyi asked curiously.
“It was given to me by a brother who passed away; he asked me to find his sister, saying she has an identical one,” Ye Xiong briefly explained and then continued asking: “Xinyi, where is your pendant from?”
If the pendants came from the same jeweler, then finding the person who made them should lead to Qiao Yang’s sister.
“My mom said it’s the heirloom of the Yang family, and told me never to lose it,” Yang Xinyi responded.
It seemed necessary to find time to ask Yang Dingguo about the origin of the pendant.
Afterward, Ye Xiong carefully picked out a necklace for Yang Xinyi, along with a diamond ring.
Yang Xinyi looked extremely excited.
In M City, in a certain villa.
Anguished screams echoed from a room.
Long Lan, clad only in her underwear, lay on the bed, clenching her teeth tightly as a middle-aged man wearing a Ghost Mask stood beside her, incessantly inserting needles into her body. In moments, silver needles bristled from Long Lan.
A few minutes later, blackish blood started to seep from the silver needles. In no time, the bed beside Long Lan was drenched with dark red blood, staining the sheets.
Only after the blood from the needles had stopped flowing did the masked man start to remove the silver needles from Long Lan’s body and place them into a disinfectant solution.
“Ghost Doctor, how is Lan’er doing?” Li Chunpeng, standing at the side, asked.
“I have already performed acupuncture and bloodletting on her. She should mostly recover after three or four days of rest. However, her dislocated limbs won’t heal as quickly—it will take at least a month before she can regain her normal strength,” Mr. Ghost said while packing away the silver needles.
“Thank you for your troubles, Mr. Ghost.”
Long Lan lay on the bed, teeth gritted in hatred as she clenched her fists tightly.
In her life, she had never endured such pain, all brought upon her by Reaper.
“Reaper, just you wait. I will have my vengeance,” Long Lan declared, her expression fierce and twisted.
“Miss Long Lan, Mr. Long has told you to rest up and not to act rashly. Everything can wait until he has recovered from his injuries,” Mr. Ghost said indifferently.
“How can I swallow this insult?” Long Lan roared angrily.
“I’ve delivered the message; it’s up to you to listen,” Mr. Ghost replied.
After packing up the silver needles, Mr. Ghost left without looking back.
Once he had departed, Li Chunpeng couldn’t help but ask, looking at his retreating figure, “Who exactly is this Mr. Ghost? His medical skills are extraordinary.”
“I don’t know either. Only my dad knows his true identity. Whenever my dad’s disciples and I are seriously injured, it’s always him who treats us,” Long Lan explained.
“If his medical skills are so incredible, why doesn’t the commander leave the military hospital and let him help? Wouldn’t that be better?” Li Chunpeng asked.
“Although his skills are formidable, they’re still a notch below Gu Cangshan of the State Security Military Medical Department. Everyone knows that Gu Cangshan is the number one divine healer in Huaxia. Perhaps Mr. Ghost is still lacking a bit of that Huo Hou. After all, my dad’s injuries are too severe,” she said.
At this point, Long Lan grew angry again: “Not only did Reaper do this to me, but he also injured my dad so badly. I must have my revenge.”
“The vengeance must be sought, but now is not the time. The commander has said it himself, you should quietly recover, and then we’ll discuss it once he’s better,” Li Chunpeng insisted.
“How much longer must we wait? Gu Cangshan himself said it would take two to three months for my dad’s injuries to fully heal. I can’t wait that long.”
Long Lan suddenly leaped up from the bed and said, “Once I’ve healed, I’ll head straight to Jiangnan. I will make sure Reaper learns the price of offending me, Long Lan.”
“With our current strength, we’re no match for him,” Li Chunpeng hesitated.
“He is in the light while we’re in the dark. Hasn’t he always wanted to catch you? We’ll use a decoy strategy, luring him out of Jiangnan City. And when he’s gone, I’ll kill his relatives one by one, showing him the consequences of crossing me,” Long Lan plotted.
After saying this, Long Lan burst into laughter.
“How are we supposed to lure him away?”
“It’s simple. His father and sister are in Kyoto, aren’t they? If we kidnap them, he will surely come back to Kyoto to save them. Then, we’ll eliminate his wife and friends in Jiangnan,” Long Lan’s face revealed a crazed look.
“Aren’t we going a bit too far with this?”
“It’s nothing compared to you taking vengeance for your mother and causing the Li Family so many deaths,” Long Lan retorted.
