Chapter 18

Accompany me?

Hearing Huang Yiyi's words, my heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't help but swallow hard. Huang Yiyi was so beautiful; after she left last night, I was still full of regret.

Tonight, she actually said she wanted to accompany me! I knew I shouldn't think about it, but I'm just a normal man. How could anyone not overthink it when such a beautiful woman makes such a request?

Seeing the expression on my face, Huang Yiyi quickly added, "I didn't mean it that way. I'm just worried about your safety! After all, you're doing this for our family."

I hurriedly nodded and said, "I know, I'm fine. You should go back!"

Although I really wanted her to come in and stay with me, if something really happened, I would have to focus on protecting her, which would be unnecessary.

"But..."

I interrupted her, "See you tomorrow! I'll wait for him at your place tomorrow."

Huang Yiyi was still a bit worried, but she didn't insist further. She just said, "Okay, if anything happens, call me."

I nodded in agreement. Huang Yiyi gave me a lingering look and then got into her car.

Huang Yiyi was truly perfect, not just in appearance and figure, but also in her kind heart. After the ghostly knocking last night, she still wanted to come up with me tonight. Such kindness is rare. If a girl like her could be my girlfriend, how wonderful that would be.

"Ah!" I slapped my head and then shook it, saying, "What am I thinking?"

I turned to go upstairs, and just as I turned, my phone rang.

I took out my phone and saw it was an unknown number, but I knew who it was.

I pressed the answer button, and the man on the other end said smugly, "Kid, what do you think? Have you made up your mind? Take five million, and don't get involved in this anymore. Otherwise, the living dead is just the beginning."

I found it hilarious; this guy was really overestimating himself! Did he think I was already scared by his living dead?

Thinking about this, I laughed coldly and said, "I'll wait for you to beg me tomorrow!"

After saying that, I hung up the phone. The guy didn't give up and called me again, but I didn't answer. When I got home, I drew a Five Thunder Talisman at the door, and only then did I feel safe enough to go to bed.

That night, nothing happened, and I passed through it uneventfully.

The next morning, Huang Yiyi called me, saying she was already at the entrance of my neighborhood. It was clear she was very worried about my safety.

When I went downstairs and saw that I was fine, her serious expression finally relaxed a bit.

I went with her to the Huang family's house and waited until noon. Then, the person arrived.

He didn't make any grand entrance; he came in a car. As he got out of the driver's seat, I saw him stagger into the Huang family's house.

As soon as he came into our view, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The man was in his sixties, short and bald, with triangular eyes and a deep scar on his face.

"Save me, save me!" He stared at me, the arrogance from the phone call gone, replaced by a pleading look.

"Lei Dafu?" Suddenly, Huang Baiwan's eyes widened as he looked at the small man and called out his name. His expression was extremely complex, and he found the man's appearance highly unbelievable.

I asked Huang Baiwan, somewhat puzzled, "Do you know him?"

Huang Baiwan nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, I know him."

"I never thought it would be him who harmed my family!"

Huang Baiwan raised his hand and pointed at Lei Dafu, his eyes bloodshot and his body trembling, looking extremely angry.

Lei Dafu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly showed a sinister smile. "I never thought that after so many years, you would still recognize me at first sight."

"Huang Baiwan, did you think I was already dead?"

Their meeting was more like that of enemies. The confrontation was enough to show that Lei Dafu was the mastermind behind everything. His talk about being paid to do a job was all a lie.

"From the day I left Xingzhou City, I died once. I told myself I had to live, I had to survive, and make you watch as the Huang family became extinct, suffering endless torment." Lei Dafu growled fiercely, looking like a wild beast.

Huang Baiwan took a deep breath and said, "I never thought that after so many years, you still haven't seen through it."

"See through? How can I see through it?" Lei Dafu's face suddenly showed a hint of self-mockery. "I was a laughingstock from a young age. Because of my small stature and poor health, I was seen as an outcast. No one wanted to play with me, and people kept their distance from me. Even my parents didn't stay with me for a single day after I was born. At that time, I felt like a freak. It was Hongxiu's appearance that changed my life. She told me I had no defects, that I was a normal person. She played with me, encouraged me, and supported me in everything I did, every decision I made."

"Hongxiu was a ray of light, a ray of hope in my heart! We grew up together, played together, and were childhood sweethearts! I liked her, and I could feel that she liked me too. But you, your appearance broke everything. I was supposed to marry Hongxiu and have children, but you took Hongxiu away, you took away everything in my life."

"These years, I wandered far from home, enduring all kinds of hardships. Look at my face, this scar, it was from being robbed and slashed with a knife." He pointed to the scar on his face, speaking fiercely.

"And these fingers, they were bitten by a venomous snake while making medicine, and I had to cut them off myself." He raised his hand, and on it, only two fingers remained, the other three places were bare.

"Fortunately, I learned many skills! Fortunately, I told myself I couldn't die, at least not until you paid the price! I survived and came here ten years ago."

"I saw that Hongxiu was doing well, and I gave up on revenge! I was afraid she would be sad and upset. Five years ago, Hongxiu died, and I knew she was hinting to me, hinting that I could start my revenge! So, I set up a feng shui array at your grandfather's grave."

"Watching your sons die one by one, watching your unborn grandchildren and great-grandchildren die one by one, I was very happy! I was very pleased! I have imagined this scene in my mind many times."

At this point, Lei Dafu became terrifying, a kind of perverted terror!
