All of a sudden, Master Jeon kicked the door of the ward open in anger.
“What if I find out?” Master Jeon shouted loudly.
Both Jiang Shuyuan and Soyeon were scared when they saw Master Jeon and they were struck dumb. To their astonishment, Master Jeon showed up out of blue.
“F-Father, when did you get here?” Jiang Shuyuan asked.
“I wouldn’t know what Jeon Soyeon had done if I didn’t come here today!” Master Jeon said, then turned to question Soyeon. “Tell me, what did you do to Lisa behind my back?”
“I-I…” Soyeon opened her mouth, but didn’t know what to say all of a sudden.
“Father, you must have heard it wrong! It’s a misunderstanding,” Jiang Shuyuan said and tried to deny it. She knew it wasn’t easy to fool Master Jeon, but she was reluctant to admit it.
“I’m not deaf, and they aren’t either!” Master Jeon angrily shouted. He came with his security guards today, and they were all ace special forces.
“Well…” Jiang Shuyuan didn’t know what to say now.
Master Jeon was an old man, but he wasn’t dumb.
“What has Jeon Soyeon done to Lisa? Be honest with me, and I can punish you lightly, otherwise I’ll go ask Lili and Jungkook myself,” Master Jeon said.
“Please don’t.” Jiang Shuyuan was scared once she heard that Master Jeon wanted to ask Jungkook. However, she honestly didn’t know how to tell the story.
Master Jeon didn’t bother to urge her, but coldly stared at her, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Shuyuan couldn’t stand it anymore, so she said, “Soyeon had conflict with Gu Lisa a short while ago, so she hired someone to teach Gu Lisa a lesson, but it failed. Gu Lisa isn’t weak after all, and Soyeon was heavily beaten later. We believe it must be done by Gu Lisa.”
Jiang Shuyuan dropped many details, in case Master Jeon was angry at Soyeon.
Unfortunately, Master Leng saw through Jiang Shuyuan, and he knew that Jiang Shuyuan was deliberately making it sound not very serious. Besides, Master Jeon knew Lisa very well, and Lisa wouldn’t beat Soyeon if Soyeon hadn’t done something serious to hurt her.
Anyway, Soyeon must have done something terrible to Lisa and Lisa had survived.
“What exactly did she do?” Master Jeon lost his patience.
“I…” Jiang Shuyuan panicked.
“Tell me now! I don’t have patience with you,” Master Jeon said.
“Father, Soyeon simply wanted to teach Gu Lisa a lesson, and she had no intention to hurt Gu Lisa badly, but the person she hired was unreasonable. He took action without our permission and directly hit Gu Lisa with a car, but I promise that Gu Lisa was fine.”
“What? He hit Lili with a car?” Master Jeon was shocked and furious. It was totally unacceptable in his eyes. Master Jeon almost had a heart attack from the anger.
“When and where did it happen?” Master Jeon asked again.
“W-When you were going to City B, on the way out of the airport,” Jiang Shuyuan said.
“What?”
Master Jeon was stunned. He didn’t forget how dangerous the car accident was at that time. Although they survived in the end, it was too scary.
“Jeon Soyeon, did you want to kill us all?” Master Jeon shouted at Soyeon.
“No, no, of course not!” Soyeon argued at once. “I didn’t know that he would take action at that time.”
“You didn’t know? How could you know nothing about it since you hired him?” Master Jeon snapped at her.
To Master Jeon’s astonishment, his own granddaughter would dare to break the law and had even tried to murder his other granddaughter.
Most members of the Jeon family were kind, but Soyeon was an exception. Her mother, Jiang Shuyuan, wasn’t a good person either.
Master Jeon always thought that Soyeon was simply a spoiled kid, but now he changed his mind. What Soyeon had done to Lisa was illegal, but Jiang Shuyuan failed to stop her.
If Jiang Shuyuan allowed Soyeon to do whatever she wanted without limiting her inappropriate behavior, Soyeon would become totally spoiled.
Jiang Shuyuan was frightened by Master Jeon’s criticisms and didn’t dare to say another word.
Soyeon left the bed and knelt down in front of Master Jeon. “Grandpa, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I know it’s my fault, and I shouldn’t have done that. Please forgive me, and I promise that it won’t happen again.”
She knew that Master Jeon wouldn’t accept her behavior, but she was his granddaughter after all, and she hoped that he could forgive her this time.
“Father, Soyeon already admitted to it, and she has learned from it too. Since Gu Lisa secretly punished Soyeon, she clearly didn’t want it to be a big problem either. Please forgive Soyeon this time,” Jiang Shuyuan said and begged for Soyeon.
“Shut your mouth! Do you think that you’re innocent?” Master Jeon was mad.
Hearing that, Jiang Shuyuan was scared again. She knew that she should have stopped Soyeon from doing that, but she hadn’t.
“Grandpa, I’m your granddaughter after all, and we’re a family. Couldn’t you give me a chance?” Soyeon said.
“It is precisely because you’re my granddaughter, that my heart is totally broken by you!” Master Jeon said.
If someone else did that, he would be angry too, but wouldn’t be as furious as now. However, Soyeon was his granddaughter and they were connected by blood, so it was hard for him to punish her according to the law.
However, it would be unfair to Lisa if he let her get away with it.
Lisa had secretly punished Soyeon and kept it a secret from him, but he felt quite guilty now after he learned the truth. Lisa treated him and Jungkook very well, and it was impossible for him to pretend that he didn’t know it.
“You should reflect on what you’ve done,” Master Jeon said with a frown, then left them behind and walked outside.
Soyeon and Jiang Shuyuan didn’t know what Master Jeon would do, so they stayed in the ward in fear.
Master Jeon thought that he should talk about it with Jungkook once Jungkook was back. Because of it, Master Jeon couldn’t sleep or eat well these two days and looked haggard.
Jungkook was worried when he went back to the Jeon family’s house and asked, “Grandpa, are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Master Jeon said, but it was obviously a lie.
“Do you think I’m a fool?” Jungkook said.
Master Jeon knew that Jungkook wouldn’t be easily fooled, but he needed to summon up his courage to tell Jungkook the story.
“Well, do you know who the mastermind behind the car accident that happened in City B last time is?” Master Jeon asked with hesitation. It sounded as if he just remembered it and asked the question casually.
Jungkook, however, realized that Master Jeon was unhappy because of the car accident.
“You must have found out something,” Jungkook said. At the same time, he put on a serious expression, because it had troubled him for a long time.
From his reaction Master Jeon realized that Jungkook was aware of the truth of the car accident as well.
“I want to know your answer first,” Master Jeon said.
“I think both of us know who the mastermind is, but it’s not important now, because the mastermind was already punished,” Jungkook said.
Hearing that, Master Jeon nodded.
“How about Lili…” Master Jeon was still worried about Lisa’s feelings.
“She already got over it and told me to forget it,” Jungkook said. Actually, he was still mad at Soyeon.
Master Jeon didn’t think it was wrong if Jungkook punished Soyeon for Lisa. Although they were cousins, Lisa was his girlfriend and they would get married in the future. Besides, Jungkook never got along with Soyeon.
Since both Jungkook and Lisa decided to let it go, Master Jeon wouldn’t mention it again. However, he still made up his mind to punish Soyeon, not according to the law, but according to their family rules.
Anyway, he didn’t want more people to know, because it would damage his family’s reputation.
Master Jeon didn’t know how long it took for Soyeon to make a full recovery, but she was getting better day by day. He also believed that Lisa wouldn’t disable or kill Soyeon.
“You don’t need to worry about Lili’s feelings. She’s fine and she doesn’t mind it now,” Jungkook said to comfort Master Jeon.
Master Jeon nodded and dropped the topic.
Jungkook didn’t tell Master Jeon that he would go to Kunlun Mountain with Lisa later. Actually, if it was possible, Jungkook hoped that Master Jeon would never know.
Before Jungkook went to bed, he called Lisa and told her that Master Jeon already found out the truth about the car accident that happened in City B.
Jungkook also told Lisa that he interrupted Master Jeon and they didn’t continue to talk about it.
Lisa shrugged. She didn’t know how Master Jeon found out, but she thought that Soyeon must have blurted it out.
She had indeed gotten over it, and wouldn’t do anything to punish Soyeon again. As long as Soyeon stayed away from her, she would stay from Soyeon as well.
…
Lisa set off for the airport at 7:30 am, and Hyunsuk drove her there.
Shortly after she arrived at the airport, she sensed the smell of a cultivator, then she noticed Jeongyeon.
Lisa frowned and didn’t understand why Jeongyeon would appear here. She wasn’t sure whether it was a coincidence.
Because Jeongyeon didn’t see her when she left, she kept the doubt in her mind. Anyway, Lisa didn’t bother to pay much attention to Jeongyeon and directly walked into the lounge.
Jeongyeon went to get her plane ticket before she entered the lounge too.
About 10 minutes later, Jeongyeon saw Lisa and walked towards her. “Hi, Miss Lisa, what a coincidence!”
Jeongyeon thought that she was going to meet Lisa sooner or later, so she could greet her right now, which might be a good chance for her to be closer to Lisa.
Jeongyeon’s reaction made Lisa believe that it could just be a coincidence.
“Hi, nice to see you, Miss Dongfang,” Lisa said politely.
“Can I sit next to you?” Jeongyeon asked.
“Of course,” Lisa said.
After that, Jeongyeon sat down by Lisa, but she didn’t continue to chat with Lisa.
Lisa remained silent as well, and neither of them felt embarrassed.
After sitting in silence for a long while, they began to chat with each other once in a while, so Jeongyeon started the conversation.
When it was time for passengers to get aboard, Lisa sat in the middle rows, while Jeongyeon sat in the back rows.
They booked plane tickets at almost the same time, but their seats were far from one another.
Jeongyeon didn’t mind, as long as Lisa was in her sight.
The flight lasted for two hours and fifteen minutes before it landed at the airport of the capital.
Jeongyeon didn’t go near Lisa, but followed her after they stepped out of the plane.
Lisa walked to the terminal later instead of leaving the airport.
Actually, Jungkook should be waiting for her at the arrival hall, but Lisa ran into Jeongyeon halfway, so she told Jungkook to go collect the tickets first.
Jungkook listened to Lisa and passed the security check earlier than her. He didn’t walk far away and waited for Lisa in the lounge.
Jeongyeon didn’t fix her gaze on Lisa, but her sight followed Lisa, so she was surprised when Lisa didn’t leave the airport. Without delay, Jeongyeon followed her.
Although Lisa noticed that, she didn’t take it seriously and went to stand in line for the security check.
Because Jungkook booked plane tickets for the first class this time, there weren’t many people in the line and Lisa soon passed the security check.
Seeing that, Jeongyeon was annoyed, because she was about to lose Lisa again. She made a call at once and coldly said, “Tell me where Gu Lisa is leaving for right now!”
In a few seconds, a man said on the phone, “Sorry, I can’t.”
“Why?” Jeongyeon was mad.
“The information of her next flight is hidden in the system, and the system will send an alarm if I search for it without permission. I’ll get in big trouble,” the man said.
Jeongyeon lost her patience when she couldn’t get Lisa’s schedule.
…
Once Lisa passed the security check, she saw Jungkook, and they went to dine together.
Because both of them were quite good-looking, they attracted much attention along the way. They were already used to it, so they weren’t affected.
A waitress in the restaurant recognized Lisa, and immediately got excited.
“A-Are you Goddess Lisa?” she asked.
Lisa smiled. “Yeah.”
“Oh my, Goddess Lisa, I’m a big fan! Can we take a photo together?”
The waitress didn’t want to miss this great chance to take photos with her idol.
“Sure!” Lisa agreed. She didn’t regard herself as a famous star and was very friendly to her fans.
With Lisa’s agreement, the waitress took out her phone and took several photos with Lisa.
The restaurant was big and only had a few diners, so not many people paid attention to them.
Afterwards, Lisa told the waitress that they wanted to quietly enjoy their lunch and hoped that the waitress would not tell other people that she was here. Lisa had a lot of loyal fans after all, and she was afraid that she might be interrupted by them.
The waitress nodded, because she knew that Lisa had fans nearly everywhere.
When the other waiters saw her happy expression later, they asked her for the reason.
Because the waitress promised that she wouldn’t tell other people Lisa was in the restaurant right now, she made up a lie and said that she just received a good gift.
Her photos with Lisa was the best gift she had received this year.
Other waiters didn’t think further about it, and they stopped asking. Therefore, Lisa and Jungkook were able to quietly finish their lunch.
Afterwards, they had a rest in the restaurant. They didn’t leave until they needed to get aboard.
…
Taecyeon successfully bought the unlucky construction site, because its price was very low.
When he signed the contract with the land developer, the land developer was quite honest and told him that the place was unlucky.
Taecyeon said that he didn’t mind and insisted on buying it. In addition, he asked the land developer for a discount with the excuse that the place was unlucky.
Although Lisa was super rich, they wouldn’t refuse saving money if they could.
In the end, Taecyeon saved thirty million yuan.
As for the hotel which was on sale, Taecyeon also successfully bought it, but the old residential building behind it took him more time.
Most residents were willing to sell their apartments, because Taecyeon offered them a very generous deal. However, some tenants were unwilling to move.
This was an old building, so the rent was comparatively low, and they couldn’t find a better place within a short time. Luckily, they signed the rent contract once a year, and the landlords were unwilling to rent them the apartments when the agreement expired. So even though the tenants were reluctant to move, they had to obey the rules.
Taecyeon, however, didn’t want to wait, so he decided to pay them double the rent for the rest of the months of their agreement.
If they moved out right now, they could have compensation of double rent for the rest of the months of the year. In other words, they could get a lot of money.
They had to move out anyway, so it was better for them to move with compensation. Nevertheless, they still needed time to find another place to live.
Taecyeon agreed and gave them a few days to do that.
As for the third piece of land, the acquisition didn’t go very smoothly, because another land developer wanted it too.
Although the seller of the land had agreed to sell it to Taecyeon, they hadn’t signed a written agreement yet. As a result, only the higher bidder could get it.
…
Lisa and Jungkook went into the plane amidst people’s attention, and passengers kept glancing at them when they walked to their seats because they were too attractive to be ignored.
There were countless beautiful men and women in this world, but Lisa and Jungkook had an air of great elegance.
Lisa sat on a window seat, while Jungkook sat on the aisle seat. Because of his extraordinary appearance, a woman tried to strike up a conversation with him.
“Hi, you’re really handsome. Are you a star?” the woman asked, sounding as if she was a pick-up artist.
Jungkook, however, directly ignored her.
Lisa gave the woman a glance, but said nothing.
“Hey, I’m talking to you!” The woman was a little displeased.
Jungkook still ignored her, so the woman suddenly shouted to him, “Hey, you, are you deaf?”
She raised her voice all of a sudden, and many passengers sitting around heard it. No one liked the woman’s impolite attitude, but the woman was too selfish to realize that she was being quite rude in a public place.
Lisa was annoyed and stared at the woman. “Miss, please don’t forget your manners, and you look ugly when you try to strike up a conversation with my boyfriend.”
“So what? I don’t care whether he’s your man or not!” The woman felt humiliated, and she was jealous of Lisa too when she saw Lisa’s stunning face.
Jungkook was angry at this moment and gave the woman a glare, which scared her so much that the woman shut her mouth at once.
“You just tried to strike up a conversation with my fiancé,” Lisa said.
“You…” The woman was mad. “I just complimented him and said that he’s handsome. I simply wanted to know whether he’s a star or not. Why didn’t he reply to my question out of politeness?”
It sounded as if it was Jungkook’s fault.
“Because he didn’t want to talk with you, and you can’t force other people to talk with you,” Lisa said. “It’s rude.”
Although Jungkook was indeed a little impolite when he directly ignored the woman, he simply didn’t want to talk with her.
Many passengers agreed with Lisa, and thought that the woman was a troublemaker.
“You…” The woman was struck dumb for a second, but didn’t know what to say now.
“Miss, if you continue to bother us, I’m afraid that we can only complain to the flight attendant,” Lisa said.
Hearing that, the woman was furious and stood up at once. She pointed at Lisa, shouting, “Do you want to complain about me? Do you know who I am? My father is the major shareholder of this airline. I can chase you out of this plane!”
At this moment, two stewardesses ran over and asked in a hurry, “What happened?”
“This woman tried to strike up a conversation with my fiancé, but my fiancé didn’t want to talk with her. She felt humiliated and got mad all of a sudden. I told her not to bother us, but she wanted to chase me out,” Lisa said. She wasn’t afraid of this woman at all.
The stewardess put on a serious expression, and didn’t doubt Lisa’s words, because they were in a public place and it was hard to hide the truth. Besides, the woman’s behavior was shameless.
“Miss…” The stewardess turned to face the woman and wanted to stop her from causing more trouble in the plane, but the woman interrupted her. “The shareholder of this airline, Fang Shouping, is my father, so you two should get them out of this plane right now!”
The two stewardesses were surprised when they heard that, but they didn’t give in.
“Miss Fang, even if you’re the daughter of a shareholder of our airline, you don’t have the power to chase our passengers out of the plane. They did nothing wrong,” said a stewardess.
“You…” Miss Fang was furious.
At this time, Jungkook took out his officer certificate and showed it to Miss Fang. “This is my officer certificate, and I need to fulfill a mission right now. If you dare to make it difficult for me, I can directly shoot you. I don’t care who your father is.”
Miss Fang was struck dumb when she saw Jungkook’s officer certificate. She couldn’t believe that Jungkook was a major general at such a young age. She knew that a major general was a very important position in the army.
In her eyes, Jungkook was too young to be a major general, but anyway, he indeed had the power to kill her. Besides, if she dared to attack an officer, especially a senior officer, she could be put in jail according to the law.
Even if she didn’t dare to attack Jungkook, it was still illegal for her to chase him out of the plane when he needed to fulfill a mission.
Actually, if she had known that Jungkook was a senior officer in the army, she wouldn’t have dared to strike up a conversation with him.
It was not only Miss Fang; the two stewardesses were also shocked by Jungkook’s title.
The other passengers didn’t see his officer certificate, but they heard what he just said, so they knew that he couldn’t be an ordinary soldier.
Many people held great respect towards soldiers in this country, because soldiers protected them and served the country. In addition, their work was always dangerous, and not many people were willing to risk their lives in their jobs.
Anyway, it was Miss Fang’s fault this time.
Even if Jungkook wanted the flight attendants to chase Miss Fang out of this plane right now, it was understandable, because what she had done and said was unacceptable. Miss Fang’s father was a shareholder of this airline, but it didn’t mean she could do whatever she wanted.
Moreover, because Jungkook was a senior officer, Miss Fang had broken the law by causing trouble for him when he was on his way to fulfill a task.
Actually, it wasn’t a big deal at the beginning, but Miss Fang made it serious later.
Luckily, Jungkook was unwilling to waste more time on her and he simply warned. “If you don’t want to get in trouble, stay quiet.” After that, he took away his officer certificate and ignored Miss Fang again.
Miss Fang didn’t dare to argue with him, but she was too terrified to sit on her seat now.
Without hesitation, she picked up her handbag and walked to the economy class. There were many vacant seats in the plane, so she easily found another seat to sit on.
Since Jungkook let her go, the stewardess said nothing about it. The plane was about to take off, and no one wanted it to be delayed.
In a few minutes, the plane finally took off.
During the flight, Lisa seldom talked with Jungkook, because both of them were reading a book.
Lisa had a very good memory, and she could remember whatever she read.
Jungkook was reading one of the two books Taehee left in her room, but he didn’t have as good a memory as Lisa, so he read slowly.
Even though Miss Fang went to sit in the economy class, she was still really afraid and couldn’t relax.
She didn’t feel relieved until Lisa and Jungkook left after the plane landed at the airport of City Qing.
She was mad at them, but couldn’t do anything now.
…
City Qing was the capital city of Province Qing.
However, City Qing wasn’t their destination. They were heading through City Ge to the Door to Hell.
City Ge was near Kunlun Mountain, but they still needed to take a car for almost two hours to reach it.
Kunlun Mountain wasn’t a single mountain, it was a mountain chain, and it spanned three provinces. As for the Door to Hell, it also occupied a huge area.
Jungkook had never been to the place where his parents were caught in the accident that year, so he asked for many details from one of his father’s previous subordinates before he came here. It was impossible for them to find the place on their own.
His father’s loyal subordinates were now the Jeon family’s supporters, and they all held an important position in the military. They obeyed Jungkook’s orders, and respected the other members of the Jeon family too.
Some of them ranked higher than Jungkook, but none of them took him lightly, because Jungkook was a much younger major general than them. In addition, they relied on Jungkook’s influence to maintain their positions in the army.
Jungkook always stayed alone, but he had helped a lot of people before, so he had powerful connections now. Given Jungkook’s family background, countless people wanted to join his circle.
Because there was no direct line from the capital to City Ge, Lisa and Jungkook had to go to City Qing first. And they would transfer to City Ge from City Qing.
When they reached City Qing, it was about 4:30 pm. Around 6 pm, they would board the plane to City Ge. They spent most of their time in a plane today.
Because they already had dined in the plane, they weren’t hungry now and left to go look at a car in a car dealership. It was more convenient for them to drive a car themselves to Kunlun Mountain.
Lisa and Jungkook decided to buy a car instead of renting one, because only an off-road vehicle could satisfy their needs. And normally, only ordinary cars were available to be rented, so they made up their mind to directly buy a car.
It could save them a lot of effort if they drove their own car.
There was a car in Lisa’s telepathic eye space, but it was a private car and not suitable for mountain roads.
Because Lisa and Jungkook needed to use a car tomorrow, they had to pick up a car right now. In the end, they chose a Hummer, which cost a million yuan, and they didn’t hesitate to pay the full amount. However, right when Lisa and Jungkook were about to drive the car away, a young man suddenly ran inside and stopped them.
“This car is mine, you can’t buy it,” said the young man.
Lisa and Jungkook turned to look at the manager with confusion, and the manager seemed astonished when he saw the young man. It was obvious that the young man’s words were true.
Lisa was displeased. “What’s going on here?”
“Well, this car was booked for him, but he didn’t want it when the car arrived, so I returned his deposit,” the manager said.
Actually, the young man couldn’t get his deposit back if the car he booked had already arrived, but he was from a powerful family so the manager didn’t dare to annoy him.
Coincidentally, Lisa and Jungkook liked this car too.
Nevertheless, the young man was arrogant and selfish, and he didn’t care about Lisa and Jungkook’s feelings at all.
“I think you shouldn’t come back now after we’ve already paid the full amount. This car is ours,” Lisa said.
“I just changed my mind, and I want it now,” the young man said.
“So? Let me be honest with you, it’s impossible!” Lisa said.
“You…” The young man suddenly turned to threaten the manager. “Manager Hu, get this car back for me, or your business will have to close!”
The manager was scared, because he wasn’t the owner of this car dealership. Therefore, he said to Lisa, “Miss Gu, I’m terribly sorry, but could you please buy another car? There are many other good cars in our store.”
“No, I want this one,” Lisa said.
Neither Lisa nor Jungkook were willing to give in. They needed the car right now, and they had already paid the money.
“Well…” Manager Hu didn’t know what to do now. He was reluctant to annoy the young man anyway.
“Do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is? My father is the deputy mayor of City Ge!” The young man looked quite proud.
A deputy mayor was indeed a senior official in the government, but Lisa wasn’t afraid at all.
“Oh, your father is the deputy mayor of City Ge. So?” Lisa cocked her eyebrow.
No matter who the deputy mayor of a large city was, he should be smart and clearly know who he could offend and who he couldn’t mess with. Anyway, this young man was merely damaging his father’s reputation.
Manager Hu was scared when the young man said that loudly in public. This young man was too arrogant to realize that it could damage his father’s career in politics.
“So? I want this car back!” The young man looked down his nose at Lisa.
“Jungkook, throw him out and beat him to the ground,” Lisa said to Jungkook without hesitation.
“Sure.” Jungkook couldn’t wait to do that.
When Jungkook stood up and walked towards the young man, the young man couldn’t help but step backwards in fear. “Don’t you dare!”
Because Jungkook was tall and strong, he looked quite weak compared to Jungkook’s build.
“Sir, please…” Manager Hu tried to stop them from causing trouble here. If the son of the deputy mayor of their city was injured in their car dealership, their car dealership would be in trouble too. Unfortunately, before he could finish his sentence, Jungkook directly kicked the young man’s stomach and the young man was kicked a few meters away.
Seeing that, everyone was shocked by Jungkook’s strength.
The young man was kicked out of the door, before heavily falling to the ground.
Even the onlookers could feel the pain for him.
The young man couldn’t move at all and moaned in pain on the ground. He felt completely out of breath.
“Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu?” Manager Hu instantly ran towards the young man filled with anxiety. He prayed to God that the young man would be fine.
“Relax, he’s fine. If his father dares to punish you for his behavior, tell him to contact me. You already have my phone number, right?” Lisa said to Manager Hu.
Manager Hu was a kind man, and she didn’t want him to be involved in trouble because of them.
Lisa left her phone number on the contract and Jungkook’s name was on it too.
“Miss Gu, why don’t you stay here and wait for our deputy mayor to come? You can deal with it before you leave,” Manager Hu said. He was unwilling to face their deputy mayor alone.
“No need to bother. I can handle it now,” Jungkook said and took out his phone. He walked away and dialed a number. A minute later, he came back and told Manager Hu to wait for a while.
“How dare you kick me! I-I’ll make you regret doing that!” Mr. Wu was finally able to say something, but his body was still in great pain.
Facing his threat, neither Lisa nor Jungkook bothered to give him a glance.
Afterwards, Mr. Wu turned to glare at Manager Hu. “Call the police and an ambulance now!”
Manager Hu didn’t answer him right away, but turned to ask for Lisa’s opinions. Lisa said, “There is no need to call the police. Just call an ambulance.”
Lisa knew that Jungkook already handled it with a simple call. Since Jungkook already made a call, there was nothing to worry about.
“You…” Mr. Wu was furious. He didn’t hear what Jungkook said on the phone, but he didn’t believe that Jungkook was more influential in City Ge than his family.
“Call my father first…” Mr. Wu opened his mouth again.
Before Mr. Wu could finish his sentence, Lisa interrupted him. “No need either. Your father is on his way.”
Hearing that, Mr. Wu was struck dumb. He couldn’t believe that Lisa was able to contact his father. He thought that Jungkook probably did that.
At this time, he started to guess who they were. Either way, Mr. Wu didn’t dare to say another word now. He had to wait for his father’s arrival.
All of a sudden, his phone rang in his pocket. He was surprised, and other people thought that the caller might be their deputy mayor.
Because Mr. Wu was in great pain, he couldn’t get the phone out of his pocket himself.
“Get it out for me!” Mr. Wu shouted to Manager Hu.
Manager Hu ran to help him get his phone at once. Once Manager Hu saw the caller’s name, his hand slightly trembled in fear, because it was indeed their deputy mayor.
At this moment, Manager Hu believed that Jungkook was more influential than Mr. Hu’s family.
“Mr. Wu, it’s-it’s the deputy mayor,” Manager Hu said.
“What?” Mr. Wu couldn’t believe his ears. All of a sudden, he had a premonition.
Mr. Wu didn’t answer the call right away, but looked at Lisa and Jungkook with mixed emotions.
“Put it on speaker,” Jungkook said.
Manager Hu stared at Mr. Wu for his opinions.
“Do it!” Mr. Wu didn’t care about it now.
The second the call was answered, Mr. Wu heard his father’s angry loud voice. “Couldn’t you stop causing trouble every day? Don’t you know there are some people you can never mess with? You’ll ruin our family one day! Apologize to them right now and beg for their forgiveness, or you can die outside!”
Other people were also shocked by their deputy mayor’s words, so they looked at Jungkook and Lisa with astonishment. They must be more powerful than their deputy mayor.
Mr. Wu was totally struck dumb right now. He ached to ask his father who they were, but he felt too embarrassed to do that at this moment. However, he clearly knew that he had bad luck today.
“Did you hear me?” The deputy mayor was waiting for Mr. Wu’s answer.
“Yeah, yeah.” Mr. Wu agreed at once.
With a click, his father hung up on him.
Jungkook simply called a senior official he knew, and the senior official called an important official in City Qing later, then the important official called the deputy mayor of City Ge.
Although the deputy mayor didn’t know whom his son had offended, he knew the person must be an important figure. He didn’t want his career to be ruined by his stupid son. Moreover, he knew his son very well, and he was sure that it must be his son’s fault.
Although Jungkook was bullying his son this time, his son tried to bully them first.
Lisa and Jungkook weren’t afraid of the deputy mayor, but they didn’t want the staff in the car dealership to get in trouble because of them.
After the call with his father, Mr. Wu immediately apologized to Lisa and Jungkook. “I’m sorry for what I did. Please forgive me this time, and I promise that it won’t happen again.”
He didn’t dare to vent his anger on them now. Normally, he relied on his father’s power and influence to bully other people, but now his father’s influence was useless.
“Let’s go now.” Jungkook ignored Mr. Wu, and wanted to leave with Lisa. Mr. Wu already apologized, so there was no need for them to waste time here.
No one dared to stop them so they drove the car away.
Manager Hu felt relieved, because he was out of trouble too.
Mr. Wu watched Lisa and Jungkook leaving from his sight, but he still couldn’t move.
A while later, the ambulance came and Mr. Wu was sent to the hospital.
…
Lisa and Jungkook went to dine together before they stayed in a hotel.
That night, Lisa and Jungkook didn’t have sex, because they weren’t in the mood. As they were approaching Kunlun Mountain, they felt very sad and kept thinking about what would happen after they entered the Door to Hell.
Jungkook mostly worried about whether Lisa could become a cultivator. He wasn’t sure whether his mother was still alive now. Even if his mother was really dead, he could stay calm, because his mother had passed away for over a dozen years anyway. However, if Lisa couldn’t become a cultivator, it would seriously affect their future.
They didn’t sleep well that night, but they stayed energetic.
The next day, they got up at 7 am and left for Kunlun Mountain.
Kunlun Mountain was tall and cold, so Lisa prepared winter clothes in her telepathic eye space.
After one and a half hours, they arrived. Because they came very early, there weren’t many people.
Most people stayed outside the Door to Hell, and only a few visitors dared to enter it. After all, it was a dangerous place.
Jungkook’s parents had fallen from a cliff when they were chasing a criminal. Although they were skilled fighters, they still unfortunately lost their lives. Besides, Jungkook’s parents’ enemy was too strong.
All in all, nobody knew exactly how dangerous the Door to Hell was.
It was said that the shepherds living in Kunlun Mountain would rather let their cattle and sheep starve to death on the Gobi Desert because they had no fat grass to eat than let them enter the lush, ancient and silent deep valley of Kunlun Mountain. Because this valley was the Death Valley, covered with wolf fur, bear bones, hunter’s steel guns, and deserted hills and solitary graves, conveying a terrifying breath of death to the world.
Lisa thought that there were probably troublesome ghosts or monsters, which was more reasonable in her opinion. However, scientists believed that it was only due to geomagnetic variation, weather variation, terrain variation and many other factors that caused such a dangerous place to be born.
It wasn’t wrong. The Door to Hell was indeed a place where the weather was fickle, the terrain was rugged and dangerous, with mountains, cliffs, valleys, quagmires, and pools.
Peaks, valleys and water pools were fine, because they could easily be seen, but the quagmire was super dangerous. If one wasn’t careful, it would be difficult for him or her to get out of it once he or she stepped into it.
Therefore, Lisa used her Jade Eyes to see what was under the ground along the way to avoid quagmires.
The road got more and more rugged as they went deeper, so Lisa and Jungkook had to leave their car and begin to walk.
Walking wasn’t difficult for them, because they were quite used to walking for a long distance.
After they got out of the car, Lisa put it into her telepathic eye space. There was no one else around them, so Lisa wasn’t worried at all.
Jungkook was already aware of her telepathic eye space, but he was still surprised when he witnessed it.
It took about half an hour for them to get to their destination on foot, and they needed to refer to their map to make sure that they were on the right way. Unfortunately, they could only know the approximate location from the map instead of the exact cliff.
Although Jungkook had several old photos of the accident scene, over a dozen years had passed and everything was different now.
Even though Lisa had a pair of Jade Eyes, they still spent a lot of time searching for the exact cliff. Luckily, they finally found the place where the accident happened that year.
They walked about for a while, but failed to find anything useful, but they didn’t leave right away. Instead, they took out candles and spirit money to pay their tribute to Jungkook’s parents.
“Mr. Jeon, Mrs. Jeon, I’m your daughter-in-law. Jungkook and I have come to visit you today,” Lisa said.
Although Jungkook remained silent, he felt quite sad at this moment.
“Mr. Jeon, we found out Mrs. Jeon’s real identity, so I’m afraid that she’s still alive, and we…” Lisa continued.
However, before she could finish, the flames suddenly went up high, which surprised Lisa and Jungkook.
Lisa stopped at once and exchanged a glance with Jungkook. They didn’t understand it, and took it as a coincidence.
“If Jungkook’s mother is really alive, we really want to…” Lisa said again, and the flames went up high all of a sudden again.
Lisa and Jungkook realized that it couldn’t be a coincidence. It must be a hint for something.
In order to make sure of it, Jungkook calmed himself down and cleared his throat before he said, “Father, I’m Shaoting. I came to visit you today, and I have the doubt that my mother is still alive. If you can hear me, please help us find her.”
The second Jungkook finished, the flames went up high once more, and strange pictures flashed by in the fire.
In the pictures, a man and a woman in camouflage were fighting against another man in a black robe. Because the pictures were vague, they couldn’t see their faces, and the man in camouflage was forced to jump off the cliff by the man in a black robe.
The woman in camouflage tried to grab him, but the man in a black robe waved his sleeve and dust along with stones on the ground were immediately sent up into the air.
The violent storm spun quickly and attacked the woman with great force.
The woman wasn’t prepared and several stones pierced through her body, then she fell off the cliff in an instant.
At this moment, Lisa clearly saw the pair of cruel eyes of the man in a black robe. There was also a big mole under the corner of his right eye, but she still couldn’t see his face.
The next second, two bodies were lying under the cliff. Both of them were in camouflage. The man lay down with his face up, while the woman faced the ground.
After a while, a person came into the picture and replaced the woman in camouflage with another body.
That was the end of the pictures.
Although Lisa couldn’t see their faces from the beginning to the end, she was sure that the man and the woman in camouflage must be Jungkook’s parents.
As for the man in a black robe, he couldn’t be simple, because he could easily cause a violent storm with dust and stones by waving his sleeve.
Lisa believed that he must be a senior cultivator. She didn’t know whether the man was a member of the Good Practice or the Evil Practice, but she remembered the big mole under his right eye. She was confident that she could recognize him as long as she was able to see him.
Lisa was also sure that the person who replaced Taehee’s body with another body wasn’t the man who killed Jungkook’s parents, but it still remained unknown whether they were in the same group.
It was complicated. Even if Taehee’s body was taken away, it didn’t mean that she was still alive.
Luckily, Taehee hadn’t betrayed Jungkook’s father. Instead, she was attacked by their enemy right when she wanted to rescue Jungkook’s father.
In other words, Taehee would have been fine if she hadn’t tried to rescue Jungkook’s father. Even if Jungkook’s father was killed, Taehee probably wouldn’t commit suicide because they had a little son. What should their son do if both of them were dead?
After watching the pictures, Lisa was stunned. Unfortunately, Jungkook didn’t see the story, because his cultivation was at a low level now.
Lisa didn’t understand why the story unfolded in front of her eyes right now, but she was determined to find the man who killed Jungkook’s parents and the person who took Taehee’s body away.
As long as they could find the man who took Taehee’s body away, they would know whether she was still alive. If Taehee was still alive, they would know who had killed them.
Lisa knew it was very hard to find a stranger in such a large world, but they had a clue now.
Without delay, Lisa told Jungkook what she just saw.
Jungkook was also shocked after hearing the story. He couldn’t wait to become a senior cultivator so that he could enter the cultivation world and find the man who killed his parents. Whether his mother was still alive or not, the man had already killed his mother once.
“Jungkook, if your mother is still alive, we’ll find her sooner or later, and we’ll pay the man back. You should be patient with your cultivation, or you might hurt yourself,” Lisa said to Jungkook and reminded him to be careful.
“Sure.” Jungkook nodded.
They stayed there for a while longer, then left.
Since Taehee’s body was taken away, she wouldn’t be at Kunlun Mountain now.
All of a sudden, Lisa remembered her dream. If the dream was real and the woman was really Taehee, it would be the best result.
At this moment, some visitors came to the edge of the Door to Hell, but none of them dared to walk inside. Therefore, they were all astonished when a car drove out.
“Jesus, they went inside there! They’re bold.”
“Yeah, but I think they didn’t go far, or it wouldn’t be easy for them to leave.”
“Maybe, but they’re quite lucky.”
“…”
Lisa and Jungkook left straight for the Supreme Deity’s abode afterwards.
There was a long distance between the Door to Hell and the Supreme Deity’s abode, but they could enjoy the beautiful mountain view along the road.
Kunlun Mountain was a plateau. It was a mountain from a short distance, but seemed to be a cold desert at a long distance. Therefore, from a distance, the tall and majestic Kunlun Mountain looked like nothing on earth, and the snow-capped tower peaks were even more towering and noticeable.
It was almost 12 pm when they left the Door to Hell, so they went to dine in a small town halfway.
Although it was a small town, it had great surroundings.
Lisa and Jungkook went to a delicate diner. It wasn’t large, but was quite popular. There were about 10 tables in it, and eight of them were already occupied.
Normally, few people dined outside in the morning, but this small restaurant was already crowded at this time.
Lisa and Jungkook sat by a vacant table. Because Lisa needed to use the washroom, Jungkook would order.
The moment Jungkook picked up the menu, he was surprised.
They were in a northwest area, so the cuisine should be very different from that of the north, but Jungkook was surprised to find that the dishes on the menu were all from the north area.
Most importantly, he saw many of his favorites dishes from during his childhood!
He hadn’t eaten them for a long time, because they made him feel sad and only his mother had cooked them for him in the past.
Ever since his mother passed away, he had deliberately forced himself to forget them. It was like a taboo in his life, and it took him a long time to get over it.
He was starving now, so he didn’t care about the taste and only wanted to have some food. After that, he randomly ordered several dishes.
Lisa came out of the washroom and they began to enjoy the meal together.
Jungkook ordered five dishes in all. He had several mouthfuls of the food, then was struck dumb for a second, because it tasted so familiar! The dishes made him think of his mother again.
Jungkook couldn’t help but eat more of the food.
After the meal, Lisa and Jungkook continued to go on their road.
Shortly after Lisa and Jungkook were gone, a woman in an apron walked out of the small restaurant and watched their car moving out of her sight.
“What’s wrong, boss?” asked an attendant.
“Nothing, I just feel that they look a little strange,” the woman said and walked back to the small restaurant.
