Wang Zhixing and his son quickly went down the mountain.
The fog on the mountain was very thick, but Wang Zhixing was a cultivator after all.
For ordinary people, visibility was only two to three meters, but he could see more than 20 meters.
Soon, they successfully reached the foot of the mountain.
However, Wang Jiajun was already exhausted. His legs were trembling, and his face was ashen. He could barely breathe.
“Dad, I can’t take it anymore.” Wang Jiajun slumped to the ground.
Wang Zhixing, on the other hand, was not red nor panting. He seemed completely fine.
“Dad, don’t you feel tired?” Wang Jiajun found it strange.
Wang Zhixing shrugged. “I’m alright.”
“…”
“Dad, did the technology company you mentioned also help improve one’s physical fitness?”
Last night, Wang Jiajun asked Wang Zhi how he had become younger.
Wang Zhixing did not tell him about cultivation.
He had followed Qin Chuan’s earlier instructions and said that it was a new type of high-tech technology.
Wang Jiajun trusted his father, so he didn’t probe further.
Now he and his father had raced down the mountain.
He had almost crippled himself on the same journey, but his father was completely fine.
He immediately grew interested in the technology that his father had mentioned.
Faced with Wang Jiajun’s doubts, Wang Zhixing could only reply, “Probably!”
“Dad, when I’m done with the case, bring me to this high-tech company. I want to improve my body too,” Wang Jiajun said.
Wang Zhixing chuckled. “Sure… sure!”
“By the way, Dad!” Wang Jiajun asked again. “It must have cost a lot!”
Wang Zhixing said in all seriousness, “It’s alright, not too expensive.”
After all, this technology is still in the experimental stage. If you’re recommended by an acquaintance, you’ll get a discount.”
“That works then.”
After resting for a few minutes, they continued walking out.
Wang Zhixing was worried that Gu Hongtao and the rest would catch up, so he immediately said, “Jiajun, come here. I’ll carry you in case those people catch up to us.”
“Dad, what are you talking about? I’m already 40 years old. How can I let you carry me?” Wang Jiajun refused decisively.
“Don’t dawdle. Just listen to me,” Wang Zhixing said sternly.
He was traumatized by Gu Hongtao and his gang.
These people bowed and knelt at every moment.
If they were to catch up, who knew what new tricks they might come up with. They had to leave this place as soon as possible.
Wang Jiajun understood his father’s temper. He was rarely so serious.
Because of that, he could only obediently climb onto his father’s back.
“Dad, don’t force yourself if you can’t go on,” Wang Jiajun said worriedly.
“It’s alright! I know my body.”
Wang Zhixing said no more. According to the route they had discussed last night, they were headed for the nearest town.
Then, Wang Zhixing began to run madly. His was fast beyond imagination, like a wild horse.
Wang Jiajun was stunned.
Ten minutes later, they arrived at the town.
At this moment, the rosy clouds of dawn had appeared in the corner of the sky.
But the town was quiet, and everyone still seemed to be asleep.
Wang Jiajun’s car was parked in front of a small supermarket in town.
They spotted it.
After starting the car, they immediately drove to the county city.
When they were both finally in the car, they sighed heaves of relief.
Wang Jiajun said as he drove, “Dad, I’ll buy you a plane ticket later.”
Wang Zhixing replied, “What about you? Aren’t you going back?”
“I’m done with the case yet. There are still some clues that I need to investigate.”
“What case is this? It’s taking so long.”
Wang Jiajun didn’t want to say it, but in order not to worry his father, he told him.
“It’s Fang Yuke’s case.”
Wang Zhixing froze.
He knew about this case. In addition, he met Fang Yuke a few times before.
After all, his previous girlfriend was his good friend’s granddaughter.
He had a good impression of him previously, but after the media revealed that he had a family, he immediately changed his opinion of him.
Everyone was saying that he had jumped off the building because he could not bear the pressure of public opinion.
Why is my son still working on this case then? Is there something else the public doesn’t know
Right! Xiao Xue…
Wang Zhixing seemed to have thought of something.
“Son, judging by your words, Fang Yuke’s fall was not an accident?”
Wang Jiajun nodded. “According to what I know, it wasn’t an accident. It was most likely murder.
“However, the culprit’s modus operandi was superb. We can’t find any loopholes at all.
“This is why I’m working so hard to find clues outside.”
Wang Zhixing’s expression darkened.
That was because Sect Master’s current girlfriend was Xiao Xue.
Wang Zhixing closed his eyes and imagined a plot.
Xiao Xue got her feelings cheated by Fang Yuke. In order to avenge Xiao Xue, Sect Master killed Fang Yuke.
Given Sect Master’s means, he can indeed easily create the false impression of a person jumping off a building.
If this really was because of Sect Master, wouldn’t it be very dangerous for my son to continue investigating?
For a moment, he was extremely worried.
Wang Jiajun noticed the change in Wang Zhixing’s expression and asked, “Dad, what’s wrong?”
Wang Zhixing asked seriously, “Son, can you stop investigating this case?”
“No!” Wang Jiajun’s answer was firm. “Dad, I’ll tell you the truth!
“This case is complicated and involves a lot of people. This was an issue from the past
“Now that I’ve found a lot of clues, the truth will be revealed soon.”
“An issue left over from the past? Tell me about it.” Wang Zhixing was stunned. Had he thought wrong?
“Dad, this is confidential. I’ll tell you when the case is solved.
“Also, don’t tell anyone what I told you today.
“Otherwise, I will be punished!”
“Don’t worry, I won’t.” Wang Zhixing no longer pursued the matter.
Not long after, the car drove out of the winding mountain road and left the mountainous area.
…
It was around 8 AM.
Wang Zhixing and his son finally arrived at the county city.
This time, Wang Zhixing was completely relieved.
Wang Jiajun sent Wang Zhixing to the train station.
In the car.
“Dad, you really don’t want me to buy you a plane ticket?”
“It’s fine. I can go back alone.”
“Then I’ll send you off.”
“Don’t. Your work is so tough, and you didn’t get enough sleep last night. You’d better find a place to get some rest.”
“Let me know when you’ve reached home safely then.”
“Mm, I’ll be leaving.”
With that, Wang Zhixing opened the door and stepped out.
“Dad!” Wang Jiajun shouted with tears in his eyes.
Wang Zhixing had his back to him. With a wave of his hand, he walked further and further away until he disappeared into the crowd.
After entering the train station, Wang Zhixing did not buy a ticket. Instead, he sat for a while before returning outside.
He found an empty corner and crushed white jade that was in the shape of a water droplet.
A few minutes later, a figure appeared before him.
This person was none other than Qin Chuan.
“Sect Master!” Wang Zhixing greeted respectfully.
“Grandpa Wang, did everything go smoothly this time? Was your son pleasantly surprised?” Qin Chuan smiled.
Wang Zhixing happily replied, “Of course, he even cried.”
“That’s great. Since you’re done, I’ll bring you back to the sect.”
“Sect Master, wait a moment. I discovered a very strange phenomenon this time,” Wang Zhixing suddenly said.
“Oh?” Qin Chuan was curious. “Tell me about it!”
“Those people from the academy kept calling me Senior the moment they saw me. They bowed and kowtowed. They were so warm and enthusiastic.
“At first, I had thought that it was a local custom, but on second thought, it didn’t seem so.
“When I saw you, I suddenly realized something. Could it be related to my cultivation?”
Upon hearing his words, Qin Chuan’s countenance involuntarily changed.
