Chapter Seventy Night Stroll at the Liang's (Revised)

  Looking at the young security guard with great displeasure, Ye Ningxuan's face instead broke out into a warm and friendly smile as he said: "You've come just in time, we have too much grilled fish and this old man can't eat it all. You should try some too! Can't let food go to waste!" After speaking, without giving the guard a chance to refuse, he forcibly stuffed two strings of grilled fish into the guard's hands, patted his hand, took out a cloth bag from the bicycle basket, and walked off with Yun Qingran towards the west.

  The young guard felt a chill on his back, and before he could think of the reason, he received two slightly warm wooden sticks in his hand. He held the scalding hot fish with a sorrowful face, secretly glancing at the old man who was staring at him with piercing eyes. What to do? The old man's gaze was wandering between him and the fish in his hand, as if he wanted to devour them. If the old man asked for the fish, what should he do? Should he give it or not? If he gave it, wouldn't he be beaten up by his superiors when he returned?

  。

  Yun Qingran and Ye Ningxuan suppressed their laughter as they went to the creek to fetch a bag of water. Seeing the guard's gloomy face, the two couldn't help but exchange sly grins. Who made him look at them with that kind of gaze? After stalling for a while, they waited until the pedestrians got impatient and left before returning. The fire in the bonfire was almost extinguished. Ye Ningxuan dismantled the temporary rack set up to roast fish, used a branch to stir the bonfire, poured water from the bag into it, and only left after confirming that the fire had been completely extinguished.

  Riding a bicycle all the way, it wasn't until evening that they arrived at the city center. The fiery sunset dyed the horizon red, and the gorgeous red clouds were like exquisite brocade, breathtakingly beautiful. In an uninhabited place, they put away their bicycles in space, and hand in hand, strolled through the ancient streets, sampling all of C City's specialty snacks.

  She saw a shop selling cages on the street, Yun Qing's bright eyes turned around, and she didn't know what bad idea she had again. She quickly flashed into the store and took out a delicate and sturdy small iron cage. The owner only felt a gust of wind, and then there was only a 50-yuan note left in the place where the cage was placed, which made the owner exclaim that it was a divine spirit, as 50 yuan could buy more than ten or twenty cages of the same kind here. Then she found a shop selling locks, and did the same thing again, buying one or two dozen locks at once, and also bought two iron chains, secretly throwing them into space when no one was around.

  "Unfortunately, this old street will be demolished soon." Yun Qing suddenly sighed as she stood at the end of the street. In her memory, just three or four years later, a new mayor would demolish this ancient street rich in C City's unique culture and build small residential buildings.

  "Do you like it?" Ye Ningxuan also turned back to gaze at this street area, the lights of thousands of families in the dark night made people feel especially warm.

  "Ah, it feels more comfortable than those artificial tourist areas. After all, there is a rich history and culture here, as well as a harmonious atmosphere. It's a pity that it was demolished." For a moment, his eyes dimmed with sadness. Here, there were the kindest people. But these lovely people could only be forced to leave their homes in the end.

  "Then keep it!" Ye Ningxuan's eyes shone brighter than the stars, looking at Yun Qingran and saying: "Within three years, my dad will definitely be transferred back to Beijing. The vacant position can be taken over by Big Uncle. Letting Big Uncle use preserving C City's traditional culture as an excuse to turn this place into a ancient town tourist area is also not bad."

  Yun's eyes lit up. This method is very feasible, but before that, we need to help Yun establish absolute discourse power. The two of them walked and discussed some feasible plans for the future, when suddenly a loud and arrogant voice rang out, accompanied by the laughter of a group of people, just ahead. Usually, they didn't use their spiritual sense to explore their surroundings at all times, because in case of danger, as long as the other party's cultivation was not higher than theirs, they could feel it beforehand, so they didn't discover the situation ahead while being deeply engrossed in discussion.

  Two people were in the dark, and saw a group of boys wearing school uniforms on the other side of the alley under the dim street lamp, surrounding two people crouched on the ground, kicking them hard while shouting loudly.

  The two who were beaten leaned against each other, and with her eyesight, Yun Jian could clearly see a girl-like figure tightly hugging another boy, using her slender body to block the kicking feet. Such protection made her feel a rare anger towards this group of strange boys in front of her, but a faint evil smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

  "Hehe...... What are you guys doing?" A clear and crisp voice like a silver bell rang out in the darkness, coming from all directions and echoing non-stop, adding a touch of eeriness to the scene. Yun Qingyan hid himself high above, looking down at the flustered expressions of the people below.

  "What the hell is going on here!" The whole group of people stopped what they were doing, turning their bodies around to look for the source of the voice. As they looked left and right, finding other figures in the distance, their faces all started to turn pale, some even began to tremble slightly.

  "Are you talking about me?" Quickly flashed among several people, just enough to let them vaguely see, but not discover her position. Yun Qingran wore a white dress fluttering, and immediately hid in the darkness again.

  "Ahh! Ghost!" The ear-piercing scream sent the group of teenagers scattering in all directions, their previous arrogance and complacency gone. Of the two who had been beaten earlier, the girl struggled to maintain a calm expression on her face, not revealing her fear, but her eyes betrayed the terror within; the boy's face was bright red, his lips covered with white foam, seemingly delirious with fever, completely unaware of what was happening.

  Ye Ningxuan made a flying leap, from the high wall head, and swooped down to envelop Yun Qingran in his arms. His jade-like fingers lightly touched her nose tip, smiling: "Mischievous!" But in his eyes was a deep affection, the distant icy exterior had already transformed into a warm spring smile.

  "It's fun! I suddenly thought of trying to see if this would scare people." Yun Qingran said coquettishly, where could you still see the usual calmness, now she looked like a spoiled child. Don't mention it, but in this state, she really had a Nie Xiaoqian-like feeling. Her white clothes fluttered, light and airy as if blown by a gentle breeze.

  The girl was startled by the sudden appearance of the two people, and after regaining her composure, she fell into the enchanting and ethereal beauty of the two under the dim yellow light. Fortunately, years of hardship had made her mentally tough, and she quickly came to her senses, lowering her head and not daring to look again: "Thank you, miss, for saving me." But from the corner of that garment, the elegant yet simple silk told her that the girl in front of her was born into a wealthy family, perhaps...

  "It's nothing." Yun Qingyan's coquettish demeanor from just now seemed like an illusion, and he was once again the aloof and distant immortal. He waved his hand nonchalantly: "It has nothing to do with you, I just wanted to have some fun."

  Having said that, he pulled Ye Ningxuan, who had also restored his distant and shallow smile, to walk out of the alley. At this time, the night was already late, it was time.

  Hesitating for a moment, the girl quickly let go of the person she was holding and blocked Yun Qingran's path, bowing her head to plead: "Miss, can you please save my brother? He's been burning for a whole day and night."

  "Saving him, what's in it for me." The expression didn't waver a bit, the icy words slipped out of Yun Qingran's mouth.

  "I'll entrust this life of mine to you."

  Yun Qingran raised an eyebrow, her tone laced with subtle sarcasm: "What do I want your life for?" The world was already full of pitiful people, did she have to save one just because he begged her?

  The girl gritted her teeth and said, "I will be absolutely loyal to you. I'll do whatever you tell me to do! You are my only master. I will fulfill all the instructions you give me."

  Ye Ningxuan stood quietly beside Yun Qingran, waiting for her, not interrupting, but tightly holding her hand. Seeing the contemplation in her eyes, he knew she had taken the girl's words to heart. As Ye Ningxuan thought, Yun Qingran was considering that Su Ying and others were abroad, and there was no one around her who could be used. Taking in one or two subordinates wouldn't be bad either, at least when something needed to be done, she wouldn't have to do it herself, and it would also be a way to cultivate her team for the future. Although loyalty was still a big issue, there was no rush; she had time to slowly observe.

  She tossed a porcelain bottle into the girl's hands, "Give it to him to drink and his high fever will subside temporarily. I have something to attend to, when I come back if you don't regret it then wait here for me, I'll take you guys back. If you regret it then leave on your own." After saying that, without waiting for her response, he turned to look at Ye Ningxuan, who immediately understood and wrapped his arm around her, quickly leaving the alley.

  Not enough time to respond, by the time the girl lifted her head, the two had already disappeared into the alley. Only a faint scent still lingered in the alley. For an instant, she hesitated, then quickly opened the porcelain bottle and poured out a black pill. With great effort, she pried open the mouth of the boy lying on the ground, who was almost in shock, and stuffed the pill into his mouth, silently praying in her heart.

  The Liang's company is just next to the Zhongyi Martial Arts Hall, less than two meters apart. However, the two office buildings are back-to-back and face each other directly, while the study room that holds important items such as account books faces Mr. Feng's study room.

  Two people flew silently onto the rooftop like geese, and from there they made their way down to the study. Thanks to their extremely keen intuition, the security guards and cameras along the way were completely ineffective against them. Directly destroying the alarm device on the study door, Ye Ningxuan used his spiritual power to condense a key based on the lock's shape, opening the door. Standing at the entrance, their sharp intuition allowed them to discover that the study was filled with cameras, without a single blind spot.

  Yun Qingran flipped her hand, and several metal buttons shot out from her palm, sticking to the bottom of each camera lens one foot away, silently counting down: ten, nine, eight... three, two, one. Time's up.

  They exchanged a smile, and the two prepared for their next move. Unexpectedly, Liang used such an advanced alarm device, with infrared rays scattered between the gate and the safe behind the bookcase. At this time, Liang was able to use such advanced things, it's really hard to say whether they were ahead of their time or guilty conscience.

  Such an infrared device might be a difficult obstacle for ordinary people to avoid, but for Ye Ningxuan and Yun Qingran, it was just a trivial matter. The two of them had been through numerous intricate and frightening mechanisms, so they weren't afraid of this small infrared beam. Almost simultaneously, the two quickly moved into action, like a phantom shadow, always able to rapidly and accurately find that one gap in the intersecting beams of light, avoiding the red glow as they passed by. In just an instant, the two had already reached the safe.

  The safe also used advanced electronic locks in addition to traditional locks, which was just what Ye Ningxuan was good at. For things related to electronics, he had a very strong talent and could understand the principles in a short time, let alone this thing that looked like an antique to him! The application of spiritual power was very broad, especially when it came to electronic devices, it made him feel like a fish in water. He stretched out a thread of spiritual power, found the electronic lock point, cracked the password, but he simply used his spiritual power to open the electronic lock, and also opened the key lock, and the safe door popped open at once.

  In the not-so-large safe, there were three compartments. The bottom one was a locked drawer, and the top two layers were filled with gold bars and cash respectively. Yun Qingran transferred the cash and gold bars to her space, while Ye Ningxuan had already opened the drawer. Inside the drawer, they found an account book and a letter without an envelope.

  Ye Ningxuan took out the account book, and the two of them opened it to take a look. The account book recorded funds with unknown sources, the amount of bribes received by most officials in C City, as well as even more amounts that flowed to unknown destinations. However, without needing to think, the two of them knew where those funds had gone.

  They put the account book away and took out a letter from the safe, both of them were very curious about how well it was hidden. Ye Ningxuan pulled out a piece of paper, the information on it made them extremely surprised.

  "Xuan brother, is this what they mean by 'breaking iron shoes and finding no place to go, getting everything without any effort'?" Yun Qingran said, both of their faces had a hint of joyful smile, with this clue, they didn't have to run around the world searching randomly anymore.

  The letter says that among the seven divine artifacts, four are in China and were all looted by Japan during its invasion of China. Later, when Japan retreated, most of the treasures it had plundered did not have time to be taken back to Japan and were buried on the spot in China. The letter is asking for a secret investigation into the location of these hidden treasures.

  "Alright, once things are settled here, we'll head to Japan and start investigating in secret."

  After reading it, Ye Ningxuan recalled the letter into his space. He didn't want this news to be leaked out, which not only concerned the future departure of the two, but also the national treasure from being invaded by foreign countries.

  I remember during World War II, Japan occupied the three northeastern provinces, and the leader of the army was the head of the Nashimoto family, who is also an ancestor of the current Nashimoto family. At that time, the Nashimoto family, as a branch of the Japanese imperial family, strongly supported the expansion of the Great Japanese Empire, plundering large quantities of antiques, jade, gold and silver treasures, and various resources in China, transporting them back to Japan. However, more treasures were left behind in China due to the defeat in war and secretly buried.

  "Xuan gege, let's go! Don't forget to lock the safe." The last three words were spoken with deep meaning.

  Upon receiving this news, Yun Qingyan's mood became extremely good, which led to her mischievous thoughts resurfacing again.

  "Let's go." As soon as Ye Ningxuan closed the safe, he heard Yun Qingran's words. He smiled indulgently and used his spiritual power to change the password of the safe and then deliberately broke the lock so that it couldn't be opened again. With a mischievous grin on his face, Yun Qingran jumped out of the window with him.

  Two men rushed forward against the wind and soon arrived at the place where the discipline inspection committee was reviewing people.

  Yun Qingran's mouth curled up with a sly smile, and he took out the cage, lock, and iron chain from space. He threw the found account book into the cage, wrapped the iron chain around the cage door, leaving only two locks, and locked everything else on the iron chain, making it necessary to open all the locks to take out the things in the cage.

  Hand the last lock that requires multiple keys to open to Ye Ningxuan, then point to the ceiling fan above: "Brother Xuan, help me lock the cage up there."

  "Ah!" At the time when Yun Qingran "bought" these things, he roughly guessed her mischievous idea. However, as long as she had fun, what's the big deal with these small pranks?

  Satisfied with their handiwork, what a beautiful cage! After quietly admiring it for a while, the two of them picked up all the keys on the ground and put three to five of them beside each disciplinary committee member's pillow. Only then did they pat their hands and prepare to leave. However, before leaving, Yun Qingran still had to go and bring back the people she had caught.

  Time slowly slipped away, gazing at the dark alley, the girl anxiously looked around, one moment filled with hope, and the next full of despair. It's been so long, have those two breathtakingly beautiful people already forgotten, and do they still remember that there are two humble people waiting for them, and is she still aware that there is a life waiting for her to save?

  The glimmer of hope was getting weaker and weaker, looking at the person who was breathing steadily on his knee, two lines of clear tears flowed across his dirty face, drawing out two white marks.

  "What are you crying about?" The clear and cold voice, like a silver bell ringing, came from behind her, making her turn around suddenly. Tears in her eyes flowed more fiercely, but they were tears of joy and gratitude. It was really those two extraordinary people, with an additional tall and handsome man.

  The girl hastily wiped away her tears, gently laid down the person on her knees, stood up and bowed respectfully: "Miss, I'm sorry! I thought you had already forgotten about us!"

  "You silly girl! Can you still walk?"

  "En!" He nodded vigorously. "Then follow us yourself! Lan Yu, go carry him." Yun Qingyan said, but the tone of his voice made people feel extremely strange, however, no one present noticed.

  It's still a long way from Jing Shan, and it will take more than an hour to walk. Because of those two people, Yun Qingran and the others couldn't use their light skills to go home, so they could only take a taxi out of the alley.

  Back home, standing in front of the open door, the girl hesitated and didn't dare to step inside. She looked at her black feet again and then at the clean and bright floor, hesitant. If she dirtied the floor, would Miss chase her away?

  "Come on in? What are you standing at the door for?" Yun Qingran entered the living room and found that the girl was still standing at the door, asking strangely.

  "The girl looked down at her own feet, not daring to look directly at Yun Qingran."

  After seeing her action, Yun Qingran knew what the reason was. She called the servant at home and instructed: "You bring her a pair of slippers and a shoe cover, and arrange two guest rooms for them to take a bath first. Then cook some light porridge for them." Again looking at Lan He and the boy in his arms: "You help him wash." After finishing speaking, she pulled Ye Ningxuan upstairs. Having been outside for so long, going through so many places and contacting so many people made her feel uncomfortable all over, and her mild cleanliness was relapsed.

  After comfortably washing her hair and taking a bath, Yun Qingran helped Ning Xuan dry her hair before they went downstairs together. The girl hadn't come out yet, but Yun Chenyi was sitting on the sofa. He had been ready to come down when he heard the noise, but because he was in the shower, he was delayed, and by the time he came down, he only saw a dirty little girl.

  "What are those two people?" Yun Chenyi asked curiously. His sister, who had a cleanliness habit, actually brought back two dirty people. It's really surprising, he wondered if the sun would rise from the west tomorrow.

  。

  "Take two sets of your clothes for them to wear temporarily." Yun Qingran suddenly said, looking at Yun Chenyi with a nonchalant expression. Yun Chenyi's height was about the same as those two people, and it was too late to have someone go buy clothes tonight, so they could only temporarily wear his.

  "Fine!" Yun Chenyi shouted in a resigned tone, but Yun Qingran didn't even look at him and just obediently went upstairs to get her clothes. He knew that if she didn't respond, it meant she didn't want to talk about it, and no matter how much he asked, it would be useless.

  "Here. This set of clothes is more neutral, let the girl wear it. Let the boy wear this pajama, he looks like he's sick and won't need to wear outerwear." Yunchen Yi still carefully chose two sets of clothes that were more suitable for the two of them.

  She took the clothes, and Yun Qingran had someone send them in. Before long, a girl came out and stood before her with her head lowered. The girl was very thin, all skin and bones, as if she didn't have an ounce of flesh on her. She wore Yun Chenyi's clothes loosely.

  "Look up!" Yun Qingran ordered, looking at the girl in front of her who was frowning slightly. "What's your name?" She looked quite pretty, although she hadn't fully developed yet - otherwise, she would be another stunning beauty. She hadn't expected that someone she picked up randomly would have such potential, but it made her feel more cheerful; beautiful things always lifted one's mood.

  Upon hearing this, the girl's eyes dimmed and she said in a low voice: "I don't have a name." After finishing, she thought of something and added: "My younger brother doesn't have a name either." It seemed that as far as memories went, there was only her and her younger brother. But saying he was her younger brother didn't seem quite right - in reality, he was more like an older brother, always taking care of her and protecting her.

  "Then you'll have the same surname as me, you're called Yun Yu, and your brother is called Yun Feng. Let's go eat something first, and then we'll treat your brother's illness." Yun Qing Ran said to Yun Yu after seeing Lan and coming out.

  "Yes." Yunyu responded with a single word, walking to the dinner table. On it was already placed a bowl of well-cooked porridge, with only a small amount of lean meat added, without any oil, emitting a sweet and enticing rice fragrance. Next to it was also placed a refreshing and savory dish of pickled vegetables. Picking up her spoon, she took a sip of the porridge and put it in her mouth, her eyes suddenly lit up, she had never eaten anything so delicious before.

  Digression

  Chen Xing's computer system had a problem, reinstalling the laptop system was very troublesome, and it took a long time.

  Today is Saturday, I originally wanted to code a bit more, but there's only this much!

  s、o、r、r、y！
