"Don't I say, how can your heart be so big? Your own son is still in the hands of the kidnappers, and you have the leisure to look at cars! I'll let you look, I'll let you look!"
Min Ziqiong's mother grabbed Min Ziqiong's father by the ear and scolded him.
"No, no, old woman! I'm not looking at the car, I'm looking at the person in the car!"
Min Ziqiong's father's explanation only made Min Ziqiong's mother angrier.
"Fine, you used to sneak glances at passing beauties at most, and now you dare to look openly?"
"Believe it or not, I'll pluck your eyeballs out?"
Facing his wife's fury, Min Ziqiong's father was as timid as a quail, explaining meekly and in a low voice, "It's really not what you think, I just felt that the woman driving looked like Xiao Qiong..."
"Hmph! Don't mention her! I get angry whenever I mention her! I raised her painstakingly, and she ran off with some scoundrel, not to mention kidnapping her own brother!"
"Our Min family will have no such daughter from now on!"
"Besides, can she afford such a luxury car? If the person driving is her, I'll write my surname backward!"
Min Ziqiong's mother said angrily.
At this moment, the car turned right, revealing the side profile of the woman in the driver's seat.
Min Ziqiong's mother, who had just declared she would write her surname backward, froze on the spot.
She was struck by lightning.
The woman driving the Kalman King luxury car was indeed their daughter, Min Ziqiong!
"How... how is that possible?"
Min Ziqiong's mother murmured, disbelieving.
"It... it really is Xiao Qiong! When did Xiao Qiong start driving such a luxury car? And... judging by the direction Xiao Qiong came from, she seemed to have come down from the villa on the mountain!"
"Could it be..."
Min Ziqiong's father's expression changed drastically as he thought of something, his face filled with shock.
Min Ziqiong's mother also thought of the same thing. They looked at each other and said in unison, "Is Nan Nan's biological father actually the owner of that mysterious villa on the mountain?"
They were so shocked by this guess that they were speechless for a long time.
After a while, Min Ziqiong's mother suddenly gritted her teeth, "Let's go! To the mountaintop!"
"Old woman, what are you trying to do?"
"What else can I do? Go see the scoundrel who harmed our precious daughter! And ask him for some compensation for emotional distress!"
The Min Ziqiong's mother, who had just denied Min Ziqiong as her daughter, now changed her tune to "precious daughter."
Meanwhile, Ying Chen, who was inside the mountain villa, surveying the geology and preparing to set up a formation, had no idea that Min Ziqiong's parents were heading his way.
"Nine Dragons Converge at the Head. For others, the Yin Sha force of the dragon's head is extremely potent, no different from a potent poison. But for me, it's the opposite. Whether it's Yin Sha force or Yang Sha force, they are all manifestations of natural spiritual energy."
"As long as its extreme nature is transformed into a gentle nature, it can be absorbed by the human body. The snake bones of the Profound Yin Hook Serpent can precisely serve this purpose. By burying snake bones around the villa and using the Star Invocation technique to fix the seven joints of the snake bones, it will have both Yin and Yang, and the dragons and snakes will rise."
The Star Invocation technique is actually a method in esoteric arts for praying for longevity from the heavens. If successful, one can gain several years of lifespan.
Ying Chen, however, grasped the essence of this technique. Longevity is essentially extreme Yang force. By invoking it, it neutralizes the Yin Sha force of the Nine Dragons Converge at the Head.
Then, through the nourishment and transformation of the Profound Yin Hook Serpent's snake bones, it becomes gentle spiritual energy that can be absorbed by the human body.
At the same time, the snake bones will become increasingly lustrous and jade-like until they are completely petrified.
At that time, even a small piece of snake bone can act as a Feng Shui artifact, extending one's life when worn.
Larger pieces of snake bone can be used to craft magical artifacts, with effects far exceeding other materials.
"Bastard, come out here!"
"I don't care who you are or what your status is, you harmed my daughter, and as a mother, I must seek justice for her!"
"If you have the guts to harm my daughter, do you not have the guts to come out and see me?"
"Hurry up and get out here!"
At this moment, a shrewish scolding voice entered the villa.
Ying Chen frowned.
He was too familiar with this voice; it was none other than Min Ziqiong's mother!
But shouldn't Min Ziqiong's mother be worried about the hundred million ransom right now?
Why did she have time to cause trouble here?
With a deep sense of doubt, Ying Chen walked out of the villa.
As expected, the two people at the door were none other than Min Ziqiong's parents.
Min Ziqiong's mother, with one hand on her hip, pointed into the villa with a finger, stomping her foot and muttering incessantly.
She was performing a famous intangible cultural heritage.
"Why is it you?"
Min Ziqiong's mother was stunned when she saw Ying Chen emerging from the villa.
She thought it was some old man in his fifties or sixties!
"Oh, I see, you're working as a security guard in this villa, right?"
Min Ziqiong's mother then made a self-proclaimed clever guess.
Ying Chen gave Min Ziqiong's mother a cold look, not answering, but instead asking, "Is the hundred million ransom ready?"
Hearing this, Min Ziqiong's mother remembered the purpose of her visit.
She immediately resumed her shrewish demeanor and said, "Let your master come out! Tell him that he ruined my daughter's youth, caused my daughter to get pregnant before marriage and ruin her reputation, he must take responsibility for this!"
"I don't want five hundred million, I don't want three hundred million, one hundred million is fine!"
"If you don't give me one hundred million, then I'll... I'll lie here and not leave!"
After saying that, Min Ziqiong's mother actually lay down on the ground, refusing to get up!
Seeing this, even Min Ziqiong's father felt ashamed and turned his head away, unable to bear to watch.
However, despite feeling embarrassed, Min Ziqiong's father had to admit that this was a good move.
Most wealthy people valued their reputation and wanted to resolve problems quickly by paying to avoid trouble when encountering such unreasonable and harrassing shrewish women.
Just as Min Ziqiong's father thought this trick would succeed, he saw Ying Chen glance faintly at Min Ziqiong's mother on the ground and say, "As long as you don't enter the courtyard, you can lie there as long as you want. Also, a reminder: at 1:00 PM sharp, I wish you good luck."
After saying that, Ying Chen returned to the villa.
He even slammed the door shut tightly.
Leaving Min Ziqiong's parents outside, bewildered. They looked at each other.
They didn't understand what Ying Chen meant by his last sentence.
1:00 PM sharp, so what about 1:00 PM sharp? What did it have to do with them?
Would something major happen at 1:00 PM sharp?
Would some assassins jump out and silence them?
"Hmph, in broad daylight, under the bright sun, I don't believe he would dare to do anything like murder!"
Min Ziqiong's mother snorted, looking unconvinced.
Min Ziqiong's father, however, felt that something was amiss and kept muttering, "1:00 PM sharp, isn't that the time when criminals were executed in ancient times?"
"Why did that kid deliberately mention this hour? Does this hour have any significance?"
"Logically, if this hour was used for executions, it means there were no problems. Otherwise, how could they suppress so many vengeful spirits of executed prisoners?"
"But why is my right eyelid twitching non-stop?"
