Yang Cheng walked out of the room and went all the way to the underground garage of the villa.
After turning on the lights, the garage was lit up as if it was daytime. Because the garage was regularly cleaned and maintained, all the luxury cars looked shiny.
Yang Cheng did not miss the luxury cars that ordinary people would drool over. He walked to the corner of the garage and reached out to touch a brick on the wall.
After pinching the brick, Yang Cheng carefully pulled it out. The seemingly smooth brick was actually pulled out of the wall.
After revealing a small black gap, Yang Cheng reached in and took it out. When he took it out, there was a palm-sized black square box. He did not know what the black box was made of, but under the light, there was a strange luster.
This was the box that Yang Cheng took out after smashing the wall and brought here when he moved out of the shabby apartment he rented.
Yang Cheng looked at the square box in his hand and shook his head with a bitter smile. "This thing of yours is really troublesome."
Shaking his head, Yang Chen carefully opened the box to reveal the item inside. It was a similarly black cloth. In the middle of the cloth, there was a transparent crystal the size of a thumb. It looked like a diamond, but it was emitting black light patterns.
After Yang Cheng took out the crystal, he put it in his pants pocket, threw the box back into the small hole, and blocked the brick.
Half an hour later, Yang Cheng drove to the Southern Suburbs Botanical Garden.
Because it was early in the morning, most people had just gone to work. As the most remote Wild Botanical Garden, it could be said to be the wilderness outside of China. Naturally, there was not a single person in sight.
Yang Cheng had never been here before. Because it was autumn and winter, there was not even a toll collector at the door. Yang Cheng drove directly into the garden area.
Looking at the sign on the asphalt road, he parked the car outside the "Apricot Forest" area that Tengu had mentioned and walked into the forest where the temperature was extremely low.
Following the winding cobblestone path that no one cleaned, Yang Cheng gradually walked into the depths of the Apricot Forest.
As a living fossil, the ginkgo trees were particularly dense in this area. Large fan-shaped leaves fell to the ground and were crushed into soil.
When he reached an empty space of more than ten square meters, Yang Cheng stopped and raised his head.
At the top of the two ginkgo trees in front of them, two men in tight black ninja suits were standing. One was tall and strong, and the other was thin and small. They were the three ninjas of Yamata Sect, Tengu and Tanuki, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
Behind Yang Cheng was Bo Re, who was playing with her red nails. Her long hair fluttered in the wind as she walked out from nowhere. Her face was covered by a red and black mask, and there was a flash of light in her eyes.
"Where is he?" Yang Cheng asked directly.
Tengu laughed crudely, "Your Majesty Pluto, there's no need to rush. If we want to meet someone, we have to meet God's Stone first."
"The God's Stone is in my pocket, but I want to confirm the safety of the hostage." Yang Cheng said.
"Hehe," Tanuki laughed sharply, "I didn't expect that the God of Death, Hades, who has killed countless people, would actually use the God's Stone to make a deal for an ordinary woman."
Bo Re's charming eyes glanced at Yang Cheng's pocket, "Your Majesty Pluto, as a woman, I'm a little jealous."
Yang Cheng frowned, "It's not one woman, you've kidnapped two."
Tengu snorted, "Don't worry, as long as you give us the God's Stone, we'll first return the elderly in your family to you. If you let us run for a kilometer and don't chase after you, we'll use other methods to tell you where your wife is … Of course, if you do anything to us or trick us, then your beautiful wife will become a skeleton."
"Are you guys threatening me?" Yang Chen asked with a cold expression.
Tengu laughed grimly, "We know that Your Majesty Pluto hates it when people threaten you, but please think carefully, your woman, your family … are in our hands. If anything happens to us, they'll be buried with us."
Yang Cheng clenched his fists tightly, but in the end, he slowly loosened them.
Letting out a long sigh, Yang Cheng reached into his pocket and took out the black crystal that was the size of a fingertip.
When the crystal appeared in front of the three Jinnins, they all revealed fanatical gazes at the same time.
"It's really in your hands!" Tengu laughed heartily.
Bo Re's eyes shone brightly as she stared at the crystal in Yang Cheng's hand with full concentration.
"Your Majesty Pluto, leave it to us!" Tanuki laughed strangely.
"Let me confirm Mother Wang's safety first!" Yang Cheng kept the crystal in his palm.
"We can swear on the dignity of the great Japanese samurai that if you give us the God's Stone, we'll definitely return you the two hostages safely!" Tengu said sternly.
"Your dignity is worthless." Yang Cheng shook his head.
"You're slandering me!" Tengu said angrily, "No matter what you think, if you don't hand over the God's Stone, we won't let you get the hostages back! If you dare to make a move and they don't get rescued in time, they'll die! "
Yang Cheng raised his head and closed his eyes, as if he was considering what to do.
At this moment, Tengu and Tanuki jumped down from the tree!
"Rustle!"
Two rays of cold light flew past where they were standing!
"Who is it!?"
The two of them were suddenly attacked by hidden weapons. They were furious and looked in the direction where the hidden weapons came from.
A tall and graceful woman wearing a white sweater and light-colored jeans walked out from the forest. Her cheeks were pink and her eyebrows were like crescent moons. Every move she made was cold and aloof.
"It's you again … Flower Rain …"
Hannya recognized the person. It was Choi Yeon's sister, Cai Ning, one of the Group of Eight's Flower Rain.
Cai Ning's expression was extremely serious. Her gaze towards Yang Cheng was as sharp as a knife, "Yang Cheng, the general has ordered that you can't hand over the God's Stone!"
After the experience in Tibet, Yang Cheng naturally knew who the 'general' was. It was the grandfather that Lin Ruoxi refused to acknowledge, Lin Zhiguo.
"I think that's my freedom!" Yang Cheng shrugged, "The God's Stone is in my hands, not his."
"That's right, Miss Flower Rain. If you want to stop the deal between us and His Majesty Pluto by yourself, I hope you'll think it through," Tanuki smiled evilly.
Cai Ning glanced at them coldly, "Don't forget where you are. Even if we don't touch you, it doesn't mean that we don't have the ability to kill you!"
"Hmph, then let's see if His Majesty Pluto will disregard the life and death of his wife and family!" Hannya said with a charming smile.
Cai Ning ignored them and turned to Yang Cheng, "Yang Cheng, I know that you have the God's Stone in your hands. We, the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, have always known about it. However, we didn't ask for it from you because we trust that you won't be in cahoots with those evil forces. You are on friendly terms with us now. We won't force you for the God's Stone, but … you can't give it to the Yamata Sect. Do you know what kind of consequences it will bring if you give it to the Yamata Sect?! They will be a huge threat to Hua Xia and the whole world! "
Yang Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "You know Ruoxi's identity. You know the relationship between the general and her, right?"
Cai Ning was stunned. She nodded, "I know. That's why I admire the general's incorruptibility."
"You know?" Yang Cheng couldn't help but laugh, "What do you know … He kept saying that he wanted Ruoxi to call him grandpa and that Ruoxi shouldn't ignore him. But at this time, he actually told others not to save his own granddaughter for a stone that isn't even in his hands?!"
"Can't you tell the difference between righteousness and personal feelings?! How can they be compared?! The general is sacrificing his own family for the sake of millions of civilians. Is there anything shameful about that?! Is he not worthy of our respect?! "Cai Ning said loudly.
"I'm sorry, I don't have such noble feelings. All I know is that I wouldn't trade my family and my woman for them even if I had to trade the whole world for them. If your Yellow Flame Iron Brigade sells your family to protect this country, I really wonder if you have enough family members? "
"You …" Cai Ning was furious. She gritted her teeth and said, "You're being unreasonable!"
"I'm being unreasonable?!" Yang Cheng laughed coldly, "According to your logic, the soldiers at the border and the generals who have their hands tied, aren't they protecting the country?! Aren't they protecting Hua Xia to protect their loved ones? If the people are gone, how can there be a home? Without a home, how can there be a country? How can there be protecting the country? Sacrificing one's family is a sign of weakness. If you don't do anything when you can save someone, you're a lunatic!
I didn't really understand Abbess Yun Miao's state of mind before, but now I do. Lin Zhiguo sent his son and daughter-in-law to die at the frontlines. How does it feel to Abbess Yun Miao? If you don't have the ability, don't try to show off. I've never heard of any secret organization in other countries sacrificing their family members to gain respect. "
Cai Ning's face was dark. "No matter what you say, the general ordered me to stop you from giving them the God's Stone. Our backup will be here soon, and those three won't be able to escape! Before that, you can't agree to their request. Even if Lin Ruoxi dies, it'll be a sacrifice for the country! "
"A living entrepreneur is far more useful to the country than a dead person." Yang Cheng took out the crystal. "I can't risk Ruoxi's life. I'd be more than happy to trade this stupid stone for my wife's life."
With that, Yang Cheng flung the crystal towards Tengu!
Heavenly Hound was overjoyed. He went forward and grabbed it. When his tentacles touched the ice-cold crystal, he laughed and said, "Your Majesty Pluto is indeed sensible!"
Hannya and Tanuki felt like they were dreaming. They were overjoyed to see Tengu get the crystal.
"Let them go," Yang Cheng said expressionlessly.
Cai Ning saw the God's Stone land in Tengu's hands, and her expression changed. She glared at Yang Cheng. "Are you crazy?! You really gave them the God's Stone?! "
"You're the ones who are crazy! I used the stone to save my wife. Why do you care?! "Yang Cheng roared.
"Is Lin Ruoxi worth it for you to do this for her?!"
"Worth it! Every woman by my side is worth more than this stone! "
Cai Ning was stunned by Yang Cheng's deafening words. Tears welled up in her eyes.
"Hehehehe … Your Majesty Pluto is really an infatuated man. The person you're looking for is on this piece of paper. If you're late … you won't have time …"
Hannya's eyes flashed. Suddenly, a thin piece of paper appeared in her hand. She kissed it lightly and threw it into Yang Cheng's hands.
Hannya, Tengu, and Tanuki disappeared into the forest, leaving no trace behind.
To a ninja, hiding in the forest was too easy. Even if Yang Cheng wanted to chase after them, it wouldn't be easy. Moreover, Yang Cheng wouldn't dare to leave the hostages behind and chase after them.
Cai Ning regained her senses. She wanted to chase after them, but it was too late. She turned around and looked at Yang Cheng angrily. "Look at what you've done! The general won't let you go! You're provoking our Yellow Flame Iron Brigade! "
