“My grandfather?” Yunbao couldn’t believe it.
“That’s right. Back then, he was the most capable among that group of young people. After working for me for a while, he went out and established his own company. I didn’t expect him to really break out in just ten years. How has he been recently?” Mu Xun said to himself, as if he really wanted to reminisce with Yunbao.
“My grandfather is very well, ” Yunbao answered him truthfully.
“That’s good. Those who followed me back then are all old bones now.” Mu Xun sighed. “When I found out that it was his child, I went to look for him. I didn’t expect him to be successful after so many years. He’s still the same as before.”
“When he saw me coming, he happily welcomed me in. That was the first time I saw Gu Teng. She looked like a little doll and was very likable. She played with her toys obediently at the side.”
“After that, I went often and got to know Gu Teng. Later, when she saw me, she took the initiative to greet me. I knew that the time had come.”
Mu Xun paused and gestured to the guard beside him to get him a bottle of water.
After drinking the water, Mu Xun said again, “Later, I took Gu Teng away when your grandfather wasn’t paying attention. She didn’t suspect anything. I just smiled at her and she left with me.’
“I brought Gu Teng to the sorcerer. The sorcerer fed her a candy. At that time, Gu Teng realized that something was wrong and shouted for us to let her go home. However, I couldn’t. Mu Zi was still waiting for me to save him!”
“So what did you do to her?” Yunbao didn’t even notice that her voice was trembling.
“Don’t worry. I just fed her the candy. There might be a knockout drug in the candy. She fell asleep after eating it. Then the sorcerer brought Gu Teng to a secret room. He didn’t even let me in. After about half a day, the wizard brought Gu Teng out again. She probably wasn’t harmed. She was just asleep.”
“The sorcerer gave me a necklace that looked like a crystal bottle. He said that there was Gu Teng’s blood in it and asked me to place it close to Mu Zi’s body. At that time, Mu Zi had stopped breathng for a long time. I didn’t dare to delay and immediately followed the sorcerer’s instructions. After that, the sorcerer told me to bury Mu Zi’s body after two days and keep the necklace. He also instructed me to get a little boy of the same age as Mu Zi when he died every year. It would be best if he was born on the same day as Mu Zi, then drain the blood at the place where Mu Zi was buried. He said that this was to feed Mu Zi.” “So, you killed 25 people?” Yunbao could not help but ask. She could not believe that there was such a crazy person in this world.
“This is all to save my Mu Zi!” Mu Xun suddenly became irritable and suddenly returned to his memories. “The sorcerer told me that if I want Mu Zi to be reborn, I have to find someone who was born on the same month and same day as Mu Zi and when they get close to this necklace, the necklace will burn.”
“So, Brother Xuanxuan is the person you’re looking for? This is unfair to him and the people you killed!” Yunbao interrupted Mu Xun.
“What’s unfair? I’ve been looking for him for 25 years!”
“That night, I sent Gu Teng back. Your grandfather was very angry, but I had achieved my goal. Whether he was angry or not had nothing to do with me. I didn’t expect that the sorcerer would suddenly die on the second day. On the third day, when I was about to bury Mu Zi’s corpse, I realized that the bottle was already empty.”
“For a moment, I suspected that the sorcerer had lied to me. I was very angry and wanted to smash the bottle, but I didn’t expect it to be so firm no matter how I smashed it. Moreover, the bottle was the color of blood. I had no choice. This was my last straw. I could only bury Mu Zi’s corpse skeptically and search for the shell.’
“In between, I suspected that the sorcerer was lying to me. I also suspected that I had already missed the suitable body. Unexpectedly, the heavens did not disappoint those who worked hard. I’ve finally found the body.”
“Now, I’m just one last step away from reviving my Mu Zi. I won’t allow anyone to disturb me!” Mu Xun leaned against the wheelchair and gestured for the two guards to come up and control Yunbao.
The device at the side also gradually showed that the matter was about to end. “No!” Yunbao’s purple bracelet suddenly emitted a light. A powerful force hit the two guards, and they were thrown into the wall. One could even hear the sound of bones breaking.
“Little Yunbao, you’re very powerful!” Mu Zi became more and more curious about how many more shocking things could appear on Yunbao’s body..
