Free Web NovelChapter 133: Chapter 133: The Grace of Ye Zhiqiu _1
Such a miraculous event was unheard of by the burly man. When he noticed that Ye Ming completely disregarded his mother’s safety and resolutely went into action, he too made a move against Jiang Rou.
Just as the sharp knife was about to stab Jiang Rou, a golden light emitted from her body, not only deflecting the sharp knife but also leaving her unharmed. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Ye Ming was fearless because Jiang Rou wore a Jade Pendant.
Protected by the Jade Pendant, any attack would not be effective against her. Therefore, Ye Ming was unrestrained.
At that moment, Ye Ming’s strength increased, and the face of the lead burly man slowly turned ashen. Amidst a look of astonishment, he lost his vital signs.
After dealing with one, Ye Ming immediately threw the burly man’s corpse aside and started attacking the next person.
His figure was erratic, like a ghost, appearing and disappearing within the cramped room. And with each appearance, a scream would be heard, and another burly man would fall to the ground.
In just a minute, the room was strewn with corpses.
Jiang Rou watched everything in front of her in a daze, murmuring, "Ye Ming, you’ve killed people?"
She was just asking, without fear. In a trance, the memory from twenty years ago surfaced in her mind.
Back then, Ye Ming’s grandfather, Ye Zhiqiu, was the same, holding a child in one arm and battling heroes alone in the other, fiercely fighting a bloody path; it was truly imposing.
Now, the image of Ye Ming reminded Jiang Rou of Ye Zhiqiu, and a peculiar feeling rose in her heart.
Ye Ming contained his killing aura and looked anxiously at Jiang Rou, "Mom, are you all right?"
Jiang Rou tried to calm herself and said with great concern, "I’m fine, but you... Son, you should go, leave Jiang County, and hide in a place with no people. Then I can say that I killed these people."
Having killed so many, he would surely be doomed if caught. Jiang Rou could not stand idly by and watch her son be taken away, hence she devised this plan to take the blame for Ye Ming.
"You’re still young, and you have a long road ahead of you. You cannot stumble over such a matter. I’ll explain everything later. Now, go quickly!"
Jiang Rou pleaded with Ye Ming, her tone filled with affection.
Ye Ming felt a surge of emotion in his heart. He managed a slight smile and soothingly reassured her, "Mom, don’t be afraid, these people deserved to die, and it’s right that I killed them."
"Just relax, I will take care of this. All you need to do is sit tight."
After comforting Jiang Rou, Ye Ming made a phone call to Wang Ning.
Upon answering, Ye Ming said succinctly, "Come to my house. I have something to discuss with you."
Wang Ning quickly agreed, and it took only five minutes for him to arrive at Ye Ming’s house.
Different from outsiders, he maintained full respect for Ye Ming and was very surprised to receive his call.
When he pushed the door open and saw the corpses everywhere, even though he was accustomed to big storms, he couldn’t help but be startled.
"This..." Wang Ning was somewhat stunned and looked at Ye Ming with an inquiring gaze.
Ye Ming explained calmly, "Several violent thugs, armed, broke in and attempted to harm my mother. Now, I have subdued them."
Wang Ning’s heart sank, indeed the situation had been handled, and handled permanently.
So many lives had been lost in the incident, it certainly wasn’t a small matter, but after only brief consideration, Wang Ning resolutely said, "Mr. Ye, as long as you weren’t hurt, that’s all that matters. The intruder committed violence, and you were merely exercising your right to self-defense. There won’t be any problems."
"I’ll take care of everything and won’t involve you in any way."
Upon receiving Wang Ning’s stance, Ye Ming felt very satisfied. Since Wang Ning was so obliging, Ye Ming naturally would not let him be under-compensated.
"Then I’m very grateful." With that, Ye Ming took a jade pendant and two herbal pills out of his pocket and handed them to Wang Ning: "A small token of appreciation, thank you for taking the time to come over in your busy schedule."
After inspecting the two items he received, shock appeared on Wang Ning’s face.
These two items were the Protective Jade Amulet and Miraculous Pill that were being wildly talked about in Hai City. Wang Ning had thought about buying them before, but the astronomical price was simply beyond what he, a minor county head like himself, could afford.
Unexpectedly, Ye Ming casually presented such precious gifts, overwhelming Wang Ning with a sense of honored surprise.
He also felt fortunate that he hadn’t hesitated earlier and had fully supported Ye Ming.
Setting aside everything else, these two items alone were worth the trip for Wang Ning.
It was at that moment that Wang Ning also took something out of his pocket and handed it to Ye Ming, saying, "Mr. Ye, I actually have something for you as well!"
"This was given to me by Xiao Lian, the herb-collecting girl from Xiaosang Village, to pass onto you, a small gesture of her appreciation. I hope you won’t dismiss it."
Ye Ming’s gaze settled on the small cloth pouch.
There was a little flower embroidered on the pouch, cute yet simple. It was clear that it was something Xiao Lian had kept with her.
Gently opening the cloth pouch, two seeds the size of fingernails rolled out.
The moment he saw the seeds, Ye Ming was taken aback. If he wasn’t mistaken, these were seeds of the Silver Snow Grass.
After they had left, Xiao Lian had gone back up the mountain several times and found these in the same cave.
Xiao Lian didn’t know what the herb was for, she only knew that Ye Ming liked it very much, so she wanted to visit the cave a few more times to gather some for Ye Ming. But when she returned subsequent times, she never again saw the Silver Snow Grass, just a few seeds.
In Ye Ming’s heart, these seeds were more precious than the mature Silver Snow Grass, and it was the perfect opportunity to see what effect nurturing the Silver Snow Grass seeds with Spirit Pearl Water would have.
"Please thank her for me," said Ye Ming happily, "If Xiao Lian needs to find me for anything in the future, she can call me directly."
Receiving Ye Ming’s instructions, Wang Ning nodded promptly.
Right after that call, the enforcement team had arrived at Ye Ming’s house, cleaning up the mess.
With Wang Ning present, the enforcement team did not ask any questions.
When everything was resolved, Ye Ming said to Jiang Rou, "Mom, why don’t you come to the city with me? I don’t feel at ease leaving you alone in the countryside."
"Since they have already taken action, I must counterattack, and it’s very likely that more danger will come in the future. I really don’t feel comfortable with you being alone."
Having gone through this ordeal, Jiang Rou nodded her head in agreement to Ye Ming’s suggestion after hearing it.
