Stealing the Pen: Kirin's Primordial Lotus

After Xie Yuchen packed his luggage, Fatty Wang served him respectfully, carrying the luggage and serving tea and water, all the way to the airport.

Fatty Wang didn't feel relieved until he got on the plane, but before he could completely relax, he heard Xie Yuchen, wearing an eye mask, slowly saying, "My people have already picked up Wu Xie in Wuyi Mountain and are taking him to Banai. They may arrive in Banai earlier than us."

Fatty Wang’s heart finally died down.

Xie Yuchen was still puzzled. This fat man seemed so anxious all the way, as if there was some important treasure waiting for him in Banai. Now, when he heard that Wu Xie would arrive earlier than them, why did he remain silent?

Xie Yuchen lifted the blindfold and looked over, only to see that Fatty Wang had lifeless eyes and a faint smell of death all over his body, lying quietly on the sofa.

"Mr. Wang? What's wrong with you? Isn't it a good thing that Wu Xie arrived in Banai earlier than us?" Xie Yuchen pushed up the blindfold, lay on the sofa, and looked at Fatty Wang with his arms folded.

Fatty Wang seemed to be forced to breathe, and looked at Xie Yuchen with tears in his eyes, "My sister Yuncai is about to be eaten by a pig! Wu Xie is a bastard! He is not a human! He..."

Looking at Fatty Wang's sad expression and the words he said, Xie Yuchen had some guesses in his mind.

"Has Wu Xie found a partner? Isn't that a good thing? His second uncle has always wanted him to get married and have children as soon as possible. Who knows, he might be so happy that he will give him a large sum of assets so that he can live a happy life." Xie Yuchen was still provoking Fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang's heart was almost broken. "That's my sister Yuncai! Mine! She and I love each other and we are going back to discuss marriage. Wu Xie is a jerk who stole my love!"

Xie Yuchen pretended to be surprised, "No way! Wu Xie doesn't look like that kind of person! Did you get it wrong?" Xie Yuchen acted as if he was deceived by Wu Xie's innocent appearance, and even deceived the sad Fatty Wang.

Fatty Wang immediately started listing some of the bad things Wu Xie had done, such as he blew up the next tomb he visited, basically no tomb he had visited was intact, and he also cheated and deceived recent college graduates into working for him, only making a few hundred yuan a month, and he still withheld their wages.

Xie Yuchen looked very satisfied as if he had eaten a melon. He asked someone to bring tea to Fatty Wang. He talked until his mouth was dry, which affected his eating of the melon.

On the other hand, as soon as Xie Yuchen and Fatty Wang left Yanjing, the old lady of the Huo family got the news. Combined with the fact that Wu Xie had been taken away by his second uncle before, she knew that they must be going to Banai.

Old Mrs. Huo was also very active and immediately arranged for people to set off for Banai.

In addition to Old Lady Huo, there is another person who is also heading to the small place of Banai. That is the old man Qiu Dekao who was ordered to go bankrupt by Hua Yu.

"Boss, do we really have to spend a huge amount of money to come to Longguo again?" Next to the gray-haired Jude Kao sat a woman who looked somewhat like An Ning in the past. She looked at Jude Kao who was breathing oxygen with a worried look on her face.

Qiu Dekao has completely lost his former high spirits, like an old man who is about to die, but his eyes are indeed so firm, "The experiment back then brought me countless years of pain, and now I can finally be free. Xia, aren't you happy for me?"

Xia looked at Jude Kao, whose hair was gray, eyes were sunken, and he was so weak that he couldn't even speak after taking off his oxygen mask. "I'm happy. Boss, how can I not be happy that you are about to get what you want."

Xia turned her head and looked out the window, her tearful eyes imprinted on Jude Kao's eyes through the glass.

Jude Kao stretched out his hand with age spots that suddenly appeared overnight, and tremblingly placed it on Xia's head, "Silly child, I am too tired to live. Xia, now I understand what he once said, 'Life is a process of constant gain and loss. We don't have eternal life, nor do we have eternal youth.'"

Jude Kao fell into memories, as if he was looking at his younger self across time and space. "I used to believe that Dragon Country, a place with a history of thousands of years, would give me the immortality I dreamed of. I never thought that it would all be in vain. In the end, it was all just illusions."

Xia looked at Jude Kao, who was exhausted after a long journey, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried. She said softly, "Boss, you should get some sleep first. We still have a long way to go. It will probably take several hours to reach Banai." As she said that, Xia reached out to help Jude Kao tuck the blanket on his knees, and her movements were so gentle that she seemed afraid of waking up the old man.

However, Jude Kao shook his head gently to refuse. He slowly said, "No, I just rested on the plane. It's not time to sleep now." Jude Kao's voice was low and hoarse, but it contained a firm strength. He took a deep breath and continued, "In fact, I am more worried that if I fall asleep now, I may not even recognize you when I wake up." This sentence shocked Xia's heart. She couldn't imagine that the man who was once the strongest in front of her could be so fragile.

Jude Kao's eyes softened, and he stared at Xia, with a hint of complex emotions in his eyes. He continued, "Xia, you know? You and Ning are really alike. You are both so smart, brave and determined. But at the same time, you are two completely different people." He paused, and then said, "But you are too rigid, unlike Ning, who still has a trace of kindness and gentleness in her heart. Xia, too rigid is easy to break, I don't want you to leave too early, you have to live well."

Judekao's words surprised Xia. She never knew that Judekao had such a high opinion of her. She nodded gratefully, her heart full of respect for Judekao. At this moment, Judekao suddenly closed his eyes, as if he was lost in thought. After a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at the birds flying freely outside the car window, with a faint smile on his face.

Jude Kao said softly: "Xia, if you have the chance in the future, you must go to Dunhuang. There are magnificent scenery there, and you can see the beautiful scenery of the sunset over the long river and the flying smoke in the desert. I believe you will be shocked by the beautiful scenery there." After speaking, he closed his eyes again, as if he was recalling those beautiful pictures.

Xia knew that these were Jude Kao's last words, but she had no choice. She could only watch Jude Kao weaken little by little, but there was no way to save his life.
