Chapter 0016: The Secret of the Ancestors
The hall was dead silent.
He Jintang burst into laughter: "Great, great, you finally admitted it, it was you who killed my second sister!"
While laughing, he burst into tears, acting like a madman.
I can totally understand his feelings at the moment, but looking at Mr. He Jiu standing there with his back slightly hunched, I always feel that something is wrong.
The voice laughed loudly: "Brother Li is right. In order to protect the secret of your He family, your Master He Jiu not only beat him to death, but also strangled his own daughter to death. I admire you very much. Master He Jiu, you are really a man!"
At this point, the laughter stopped: "Then I have to ask again, what shameful secrets do you have in the He family that made you kill even your daughter and son-in-law?"
Master He Jiu suddenly burst into laughter: "After all this talk, you all came here for this! It's just a pity that you were all deceived by that beast Li Kun. What secrets can our He family have? It's nothing more than that Li Kun's attempt to gain money!"
The other party said "Oh", but his tone was not at all unconvinced.
Master He Jiu said, "After Xue'er married that beast, she would come to me from time to time to ask about the He family's wealth-making secrets. My daughter has never been interested in such things. It must be Li Kun who is instigating behind the scenes!"
"But what secrets can our He family have? If we want to get rich, we can only run a good business, but that beast Li Kun just won't give up..."
Just as Master He Jiu was saying this, he was suddenly interrupted by the other party: "Master He Jiu, you'd better stop talking nonsense. He Donglai is your great-grandfather, right? What I want to know is his secret!"
I was stunned when I heard this. How did the matter suddenly involve He Jiuye's great-grandfather?
He Jiuye said coldly: "What do you mean?"
The voice laughed and said, "Brother Li married into the He family just to find out the secrets of He Donglai, and your Master He Jiu was willing to kill his daughter and son-in-law in order to protect the secrets of your great-grandfather He Donglai. Am I wrong?"
I saw Master He Jiu narrow his eyes, his gaze was sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "My great-grandfather has been dead for many years, how could there be any secrets? Even if there are secrets, they are just a little privacy of the old man. Who in the world doesn't have any secrets?"
The voice snorted coldly: "Since Master He Jiu is so unhappy, I will just point it out!"
"Legend has it that, well, it should be about a hundred years ago, your He family was set up by three local big families and was destroyed. Only your great-grandfather He Donglai was left. He was beaten and had one leg broken, and was thrown on the street to beg."
"He Donglai was nearly 40 years old at the time and had been begging on the streets for three years. Later, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was seriously ill."
"Your great-grandfather was a bachelor. He thought he had no way out, so he decided to take a risk and go to his enemy's place to assassinate him."
"As a result, he was a cripple and very sick, so not only did he fail to stab the person, but he was caught and thrown into southern Yunnan!"
"What happened next was very interesting. A year later, He Donglai suddenly showed up in Jiangcheng. Not only was he extremely wealthy, but his legs were no longer lame, and his terminal illness was cured without any medicine. He looked younger and younger. A man in his forties looked like a young man in his twenties!"
"He Donglai spent three years to wipe out the three major families and revive the He family. He can be said to be a first-class and powerful figure among your He family's ancestors! After that, he lived a long and prosperous life and lived to be 120 years old before he passed away!"
"I just want to know how Mr. He Donglai went from being a cripple who could not live for more than half a year to a wealthy man in Jiangdong who lived to be a hundred years old. What secrets are there?"
I didn't expect that the He family's ancestors actually had such a legendary experience. I only heard Master He Jiu say calmly: "These are just hearsays from the world. In fact, it is not so bizarre."
"My great-grandfather was indeed seriously ill and his legs were broken, but he was lucky and had help from noble people, so he made a lot of money."
"After that, he met a great doctor with superb medical skills. He not only cured his injuries, but also taught him a set of health preservation methods. He practiced diligently and lived a long life."
The voice laughed loudly: "Master He Jiu, you think we are three-year-old children! Back then, He Donglai was already terminally ill and incurable. Even if there really was a miracle doctor in the world, he would be helpless!"
"Besides, he was already over 40 years old at the time, and he had suffered so much that his hair was all white, like an old man! But when he came back a year later, he looked younger and more energetic than a young man in his twenties. How do you explain this?"
He Jiuye sneered and said, "These are just rumors. There is no such bizarre thing in the world. Friends would not even believe such things, right?"
The voice chuckled and said, "We didn't believe it at first , but after listening to what your good son-in-law said, we believed it!"
"Oh, what did that beast say?" Mr. He Jiu asked coldly.
The voice said, "Hello, son-in-law said..." At this point, he said, "He said that he is a descendant of the Li family, one of the families that were wiped out by He Donglai!"
He Jiuye's face changed drastically, and he asked sternly, "Is that beast from the Li family?"
The other party snorted coldly: "Brother Li's ancestors have always left a will, ordering their descendants to find out the secret of He Donglai's rebirth and revive the Li family, so this matter cannot be false!"
I was secretly surprised when I heard this. I didn't expect that this matter would become more and more involved. Liu Feihe and his disciples also looked surprised and were obviously caught off guard.
Master He Jiu shook his head and said, "This is all made up by that beast surnamed Li. If my friends can release my granddaughter, just tell me how much money you need and I, He, will give it to you immediately without hesitation!"
The voice laughed and said, "I know that you, Master He Jiu, have a big family and great wealth. We naturally want money, but what we want more is a way to rejuvenate and be reborn. Master He Jiu, do you understand?"
He Jiuye smiled bitterly and said, "My friend, you are joking. How can there be such a method in this world? If our He family really has such a method, why would I become a young man instead of being an old man?"
The voice hummed and said, "We have also considered this matter. I think it is because the descendants of your He family are not well educated enough to understand the wonderful method passed down by your great-grandfather."
"How about this, Master He Jiu, come up with a solution, and we will help you figure it out!"
"As long as you are willing to share the ancestral secret, I will be a peacemaker and ask Brother Li to give up his revenge and release the girl. How about you two shake hands and make peace?"
I saw Master He Jiu's face was turning pale and blue, veins popping out on his forehead, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Friends, you are all masters, why bother with a little girl, can you let Baoer go first, and we can discuss other things later?"
The voice sneered, "Master He Jiu, that's all I have to say! I'll give you another hour to think about it. If you continue to talk nonsense like this, don't even think about seeing your precious granddaughter again!"
After that, the video was disconnected.
