Wang Cheng’an stood somewhat fearfully behind Wang Ya and tugged at her, originally wanting to pull her away. But seeing her unmoving, he mustered his courage, puffed out his chest, stood in front of her, placed his left hand on his hip, patted his chest forcefully with his right hand, and said, “We don’t know you. I’m her dad. If you have something to say, say it to me!”
The Old Man smiled at Wang Cheng’an and said, “He’s a Fool.”
Wang Cheng’an immediately got anxious and shouted loudly, “You’re the fool, you’re the fool! I’m not a fool. My name is Wang Cheng…”
Wang Ya yanked Wang Cheng’an back and shouted, “Dad!” She glared coldly at the Old Man and yelled, “Old sir, please show some respect!” People had already gathered around to watch the spectacle. She said loudly, “You’ve already harmed my grandma. Isn’t that enough? My dad’s intellect is only that of a seven-year-old. Do you have to bully him too?” Her eyes reddened as she shouted, “We’ve said our family has no Family Heirloom. Even if we did, it’s not yours. What right do you have to rob us? People do things, and heaven watches. Do you think this society has no rule of law?”
A middle-aged man in his thirties behind the Old Man called out, “Wang Ya, playing the same tune again. Can’t you come up with something fresh?”
Wang Ya replied, “Fifty years ago, you exterminated the entire Feng Family. Today, you chase to my hometown threatening to wipe out my family. Can’t you switch it up? Nanling Ghost Family, this is Sichuan, not Nanling. Don’t push people too far!” As she spoke, Wang Ya sensed several gazes from afar. The people watching from a distance did not seem ordinary. She did not know if the airport had an Expert guarding it or if some Experts happened to be there boarding a flight and were alerted.
The Old Man laughed heartily, “Talking about those shadowy, unfounded things. Little one, Grandpa just wants to chat with you.” He said to the surrounding people, “Misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding!” With a smile on his face and increasingly amiable and humble demeanor, he continued, “Here’s the thing: my two juniors visited your parents today, and they had a pleasant chat. I think we can sit down and talk too, clear up the misunderstanding. Little one, do you have time?”
Wang Cheng’an puffed out his chest and asked loudly, “I’m Yaya’s dad. When did you ever visit me?”
Laughter erupted from the crowd of onlookers.
The Old Man asked, “Not willing to talk?”
Wang Ya said, “If you’re talking about the Wang Chengzhi couple, there’s really nothing to discuss.” With that, seeing boarding was about to start, she turned and headed to the gate.
The Old Man asked, “What about Wang Chengwei? You don’t want to talk about him either?”
Wang Ya turned back casually and said, “He’s a police officer. His safety will naturally be taken care of by the local authorities. I’m just a young ordinary citizen. Old sir, don’t you think dragging me into this is ridiculous?”
The Old Man chuckled “hehe” and shook his head repeatedly, saying, “I know all about your Wang Family’s background.” He meant that Wang Ya had no connections to hire Experts to protect Wang Chengwei, so killing him would be easy—they held their lives in his hands.
Wang Ya smiled faintly, grabbed Wang Cheng’an’s arm, and said, “Dad, let’s go board the plane.” After a few steps, she turned back to the Old Man and said loudly, “Old man, if you don’t believe me, go ahead and try. See if anyone will care when your Lingnan Ghost Family openly kills in Sichuan.” She knew her Wang Family could not hire Sichuan Experts to deal with them, not even knowing where they were. But she knew Sichuan had plenty of Dao Sect, Buddhist, and fellow practitioners, and the authorities had special departments handling such matters. The Lingnan Ghost Family operated in Lingnan with no ties to Sichuan locals. Coming to Sichuan to cause trouble and kill an on-duty police officer would slap the Sichuan authorities in the face. The higher-ups might not care about her Second Uncle’s life, but they would definitely crack down on these boundary-crossers. The incident at the County Public Security Bureau had already made waves, and now another at the airport—the news had spread, alerting those who needed to be alerted. It would bring trouble to her, Wang Ya, but the Lingnan Ghost Family’s further actions would draw eyes. As an unorthodox path, stirring trouble in foreign territory easily invited disaster. Wang Ya was gambling that the Lingnan Ghost Family had scruples in Sichuan. After all, behind this little police officer was the heir of the Zhongyin Feng Family, who held things many coveted. More importantly, Wang Ya was not Feng Family blood and might not cling to their possessions. If the Lingnan Ghost Family wiped out the Wang Family, it would give Sichuan’s people a chance to win her over. Trading others’ treasures for vengeance on her family’s extermination was a good deal!
The Old Man held his Cane and watched Wang Ya and Wang Cheng’an pass the gate and board the plane. His wrinkled face bore a smile that narrowed his eyes into slits, like seeing a turtle voluntarily entering the jar. The Old Man turned to a young man behind him and instructed him to notify their people at the airport to pick up Wang Ya, then said, “Call Guizi. Once you get Wang Ya’s Birth Chart, release her parents. Sichuan isn’t our turf—don’t stir up too much trouble.”
