The private room fell silent.
Ling Yun sighed.
Yao Rou bit her lips and shook her head. "I won't be going to Beijing. Ling Yun, there are many things you haven't told me, but I know that you have many important things to do in Beijing. I'm your woman, and I don't want to be your burden.
"I'll stay at the Ordinary People's Clinic and cultivate. At the same time, I'll help you with your business in Qingshui City. That's enough."
With that, Yao Rou suddenly smiled sweetly. "Furthermore, you're only going to Beijing. It's not like you're not coming back. Nowadays, transportation is so advanced. It's only three hours by plane. Why do you have to be so serious? Really! "
Ling Yun thought about it and changed the topic with a smile.
"How about this, when the Heaven and Earth Group is established, I'll arrange a position for you as the vice president. You don't have to manage anything."
Ling Yun stared at Yao Rou and asked, "Is that okay?"
"Okay, I promise!"
…
After dinner, Ling Yun drove Yao Rou back to Nancui Courtyard. The two of them couldn't help but be affectionate. Yao Rou was panting and her clothes were a mess.
At nine at night, Ling Yun told Yao Rou about the disappearance of Long Kun and his daughter. Then, he told her that he needed to go over to investigate.
"Shall I go with you?"
"No, it's a small matter. I'll go over myself."
Ling Yun didn't drive after leaving Yao Rou's house. Instead, he used the Thousand Miles Godly Steps and headed north. He was as fast as a wisp of smoke.
Yao Rou's villa was in the southwest of Qingshui City. Long Kun's house was in the northwest. Ling Yun arrived in no time.
"Whoosh!"
Unlike the last time, Ling Yun didn't stop and entered Long Kun's house directly.
"Boom!"
Ling Yun entered the courtyard and used his divine sense to cover the entire area. He didn't want to miss out on any details.
There are surveillance cameras indeed!
Things were different with his divine sense. Ling Yun quickly found four pinhole cameras in a well-hidden place in the courtyard.
"So, where are the surveillance computers?"
It seemed like Long Kun had set it up. As long as he found the surveillance computers, Ling Yun would know what happened.
"Let's go in and take a look."
Ling Yun pushed the door open and entered the house. Once again, he released his divine sense and scanned every corner of the living room.
He focused his attention on the painting of the Azure Dragon in the middle hall, especially the eyes of the Azure Dragon. Unfortunately, the pair of eyes was only drawn realistically. Behind the middle hall was a hard stone wall. There was nothing there.
There was nothing in the living room either.
Ling Yun was not discouraged at all. He turned around and headed straight for Long Kun's bedroom.
"F * ck, I've got it!"
Once he entered Long Kun's bedroom, Ling Yun scanned it with his divine sense and immediately discovered something.
The secret was under Long Kun's bed, there was actually a basement!
Long Kun's bedroom was paved with tiles with a diameter of eighty centimeters. It was the same under the bed. However, there were four tiles that looked the same, but they were connected and could be moved.
The basement was under these four tiles.
Ling Yun knew that this was the mechanism. He immediately focused all his divine sense on the area around the four tiles. Then, he found the circuit and followed it to find the button that controlled the mechanism.
The mechanism button was, of course, in a place that could be touched with one's hand. It was at the head of Long Kun's bed, and it was made to look like a table lamp switch. It was very well hidden.
Ling Yun smiled, stepped forward, and pressed the button lightly.
"Whoosh!"
In his divine sense, the four tiles under the bed moved horizontally, revealing a square hole that was 1.6 meters long.
"This is the place."
Without hesitation, Ling Yun bent down and went under the bed. He placed both his feet into the hole and slid his body into the basement.
The basement was square and slightly smaller than Long Kun's bed. It was very simple. There was a table and chair with three computer screens on the table. There was also a bookshelf filled with all kinds of books.
Because Long Kun was very tall, the basement was more than two meters high. Ling Yun could easily stand and move around in it.
Ling Yun sat on the chair directly.
The three computer screens were all switched on. The images on them were of Long Kun's entire house. The entire courtyard, living room, and Long Kun's bedroom.
Long Kun was at home every day. He definitely didn't set up this surveillance system to prevent burglars. That was why he didn't monitor Long Wu's bedroom.
Ling Yun used to be an internet cafe manager. Naturally, there were surveillance computers in the internet cafe. With his memory restored, he was very familiar with how to operate a surveillance computer.
He silently calculated the time in his heart. Then, he played the surveillance footage to twenty days ago, the night of the explosion at the Ordinary People's Clinic.
He watched it in the day and fast-forwarded it all the way. Everything was normal. Soon, it was past ten at night, until the moment when Long Wu entered the house.
That night, there were indeed two middle-aged strangers at Long Kun's house.
"F * ck, it really happened that night!"
The computer's speaker was turned off. Seeing this scene, Ling Yun immediately found the speaker and turned on the sound.
"Long Kun, go back to the family. The head of the family has already called for a family meeting with the elders. As long as you are willing to hand over the key, the head of the family will let bygones be bygones! Moreover, the meeting has also decided that as long as you are willing to hand over the key, you will be given the position of an honorary elder. Your bloodline will receive the same treatment as before, or even better! "
Long Kun sat on his armchair calmly. However, the corner of his mouth curled up into a sneer with a mocking expression.
"Hand over the key? What key? I don't understand! Back then, I made it very clear that the key wasn't with me, but you didn't believe me. You sent people to kill me, and I was forced to live an ignoble existence … "
Seeing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but smile coldly. It was indeed a family feud.
Since Long Kun had what the other party wanted, it seemed like the lives of Long Kun and his daughter were safe.
A stranger said in a deep voice, "Long Kun, don't fail to appreciate our kindness. Back then, the family head showed you some mercy. Otherwise, do you think you would be able to hide in Qingshui City? We knew you were here, but we let you live comfortably for so many years?"
"If not for the head of the family suppressing this matter, you and your daughter would have been captured by us and dealt with according to the family's rules!"
The other stranger with a beard was obviously not as impatient. He appeared very calm in the video. "Long Kun, to tell you the truth, the head of the family didn't kill you back then. On one hand, he believed that you would definitely think for the family, and that you would repent sooner or later."
"On the other hand, he really thought that the key wasn't with you. Hence, he sent many people to search for it over the years. Unfortunately, the place was destroyed, and we found nothing."
Long Kun said faintly, "So, you're here to find me again?"
The middle-aged man with the beard was getting impatient as he said in a low voice, "That key is the key to open the underground palace. I'm sure you know how important it is to the Long Family! The Family Head has indulged you for so many years. Now that the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor's Book have appeared, China will be in turmoil. Whether our Long Family can stand at the peak of China depends on that key. Are you really going to remain indifferent? "
F * ck, it really is the Long Family!
When Ling Yun heard the words of the middle-aged man with the beard, he was so shocked that he almost jumped out of his chair!
Long Kun was really from the Long Family!
However, what was the key that they were talking about?
"It's not that I don't want to hand it over to you. It's just that I really don't have it! If you don't believe me, I only have this big place here. You can search as much as you want! "
As Long Kun spoke, he waved his hands lightly as though he was telling Ling Yun to search as much as he wanted.
Ling Yun was deep in thought. Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head!
F * ck, could it be the Green Dragon Jade Pendant?
He still remembered when the Ordinary People's Clinic opened, Long Kun had called Ling Yun to the second floor to avoid everyone and gave him the Green Dragon Jade Pendant.
Ling Yun still remembered clearly what Long Kun said at that time.
"This jade pendant hides a huge secret. When you're strong enough, look for me. I'll tell you everything."
"However, before you have enough power to protect yourself, you'd better keep it carefully in case you get yourself killed. Do you understand?"
Thinking of this, Ling Yun suddenly understood. It seemed like the thing that the Long Family was looking for was definitely the Green Dragon Jade Pendant.
The Green Dragon Jade Pendant was actually the key to the underground palace? What kind of underground palace was that? And where was that underground palace?
The Green Dragon Jade Pendant was so heaven-defying, but it was only the key to the underground palace. What kind of heaven-defying treasure was hidden in the underground palace?
F * ck, it seems like Uncle Long really gave me a huge gift back then!
Ling Yun thought to himself. Just based on this, he had to save Long Kun and his daughter even if he had to go against the Long Family and return them their freedom!
"Daddy, I'm back!"
Long Kun's face changed when he heard the commotion. His lips moved.
Ling Yun knew that it was Long Kun's telepathic message to Long Wu, reminding her to escape.
"Hmph, you can't leave now."
The stranger laughed coldly and flew out of the courtyard. He raised his finger and pointed at Long Wu.
"Long Kun, are you going to hand over the item or not?"
Long Kun saw that his daughter was caught too. His face was pale, but he didn't panic. "Even though Long Wu's surname is Long, she's also from the Phoenix Clan. Do you dare to hurt her?"
Long Kun didn't believe that the Family Head was kind and benevolent, so he spared his life and waited for him to repent. Of course, he knew that it was the Phoenix Clan that stopped the Long Family from hunting him down at the crucial moment.
Indeed, after hearing what Long Kun said, the stranger was so angry that he snorted. He was at his wit's end.
"Hmph, since you refuse to repent, don't blame us for carrying out the orders of the head of the family. We'll bring you back to the family and let him deal with you!"
Then, he saw the image of Long Kun and his daughter being taken away by these two people.
…
Seeing this, Ling Yun turned off his computer. He didn't need to watch anymore.
So that was it.
The Long Family, the Green Dragon Jade Pendant, the key to the underground palace, the Phoenix Clan …
Ling Yun stood up slowly and smiled faintly. "The Long Family in the capital?"
