Pinghai City is a small county with a population of less than 500,000, bordering the international metropolis Magic City.
Ye Fan's parents were workers at the Pinghai Steel Plant. Later, a major safety accident occurred in the steel plant, and both of them died, leaving only Ye Fan and his sister to depend on each other.
Fortunately, the second uncle and second aunt treated the brothers and sisters as their own children and provided for them to go to school and study, and they were not stingy about food and clothing.
After five years of absence, the steelmaking plant that once worked day and night has long since closed down, and a large iron chain has locked the door.
The staff building a hundred meters away was empty, with the walls peeled off and covered with moss, making it look particularly dilapidated.
Downstairs, Aunt Zhang's neighbor Li Shuquan moved away. In the entire two-story staff building, only the shoe rack at the door of Ye Fan's house was still there.
Ye Fan didn't know whether to be grateful that his family was still here, or to feel sorry for his sister who still lived here.
The door is locked.
Ye Fan lifted the shoe rack and found a key in a familiar corner.
When you open the door and enter the house, the smell of home, the arrangement of furniture, and the certificates and photos on the wall have never changed.
Everything felt so familiar, as if I had returned to the summer after the college entrance examination.
I put a stick of incense on my parents’ memorial tablets.
Ye Fan's nose was sore: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
"Go away, if you follow me again I'll call the police!"
Suddenly a girl's scolding came from downstairs, and Ye Fan's face darkened. This was the voice of his younger sister Ye Lin.
Ye Fan jumped off the railing on the second floor, turned a corner, and saw a scene that was astonishing.
Three gangsters with machetes in their hands forced a slim, beautiful girl into a corner, and one of them slapped her in the face with a knife.
"You bitch, when will you pay back the money you borrowed from Brother Dao? Do you want to default on the debt?"
"I have repaid the money a long time ago. I borrowed 20,000 and I repaid 30,000. What else do you want?"
"Nonsense, the 30,000 you paid back was just interest, and there is still 20,000 principal that has not been repaid. Today I will either take the money or sell you to an old bachelor as his wife."
"You are shameless!"
Ye Lin was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Huang Mao threatened: "Ye Lin, Brother Dao feels sorry for you. He said that as long as you agree to be his woman, you will be rich and famous, and he will also pay for your second aunt's medical treatment. If you are still as ignorant as before, , don’t blame the brothers for being cruel.”
"elder brother?"
"Hahaha."
Huang Mao and his two younger brothers burst into laughter, and Xiao Nizi was pretty good at it.
When he was about to reach out and touch that young but beautiful face, his palm fell uncontrollably.
Huang Mao suddenly froze. It wasn't until blood spurted out from his flat cut wrist that Huang Mao screamed hysterically.
"Hand...my hand!"
The two younger brothers were so frightened that they stepped back and had no idea what was happening.
"You are worthy of touching my sister." Mark's tone was cold.
"Brother, is it you..."
Ye Lin stared at Ye Fan blankly. Although his appearance had changed a bit and he was still wearing a strange white robe, Ye Lin was sure that this was his brother Ye Fan.
"Xiaolin, it's me."
"elder brother!"
Ye Lin's beautiful eyes filled with mist, she threw herself into Ye Fan's arms and cried loudly, hitting Ye Fan on the back while crying.
"Brother, where have you been in the past five years? I miss you so much."
"It's my fault, brother. I have made you suffer all these years."
Ye Fan was heartbroken when he heard this, and he said warmly: "Xiao Lin, please go home first, and my brother will take care of this place."
Ye Lin belatedly saw the severed hand on the ground, and her face turned pale again with fright, but she went upstairs obediently, only looking back three times, as if she was afraid that Ye Fan would disappear when she turned around.
I heard the door slamming upstairs.
The smile on Ye Fan's face gradually disappeared, and his voice was cold to the bone: "Is there anything else you want to say? If not, you can go and be reincarnated."
"Cut him!"
The yellow-haired gangster yelled angrily, and the two gangsters looked fierce and slashed at Ye Fan with their knives.
Ye Fan pointed his fingers together like a sword, and the invisible sword energy condensed from his spiritual power cut the two bodies into two pieces. This scene made Huang Mao's dead soul risk.
Huang Mao was very cunning. He turned around and ran away the moment his younger brothers rushed forward. When he turned around and saw the tragic death of his younger brothers, he ran even faster.
It's a pity that he is facing Mark.
Ye Fan tiptoed, and his figure appeared behind Huang Mao like a ghost. He pinched his neck and picked up Huang Mao with one hand.
Yellow hair mixed with coldness all over the body.
This terrifying power and unpredictable killing methods are simply unheard of.
He begged for mercy: "Don't kill me. I am Brother Dao's younger brother. He asked me to kidnap Ye Lin."
"Where is Brother Dao?"
"Platinum Nightclub."
"oh."
Ye Fan casually moved his fingers forward, and a large amount of blood spurted out from Huang Mao's neck. His eyes gradually lost their luster, and the body fell down weakly.
Ye Fan didn't want to scare his sister, so he disposed of all the bodies, washed his hands in the faucet downstairs, and then slowly went upstairs.
"Brother, come in quickly."
Ye Lin opened a crack in the door, pulled Ye Fan into the room, and quickly locked the door.
Ye Lin said nervously: "Brother, murder is illegal. You should run away quickly and go to your hometown in the countryside. We only have this money at home, so you can take it."
He said and handed over a pink piggy bank.
Ye Fan felt warm in his heart.
He ruffled his sister's hair hard and said in a funny voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? Your brother, I am a good student and a law-abiding citizen. All the certificates posted on the wall at home belong to me. I don't even dare to kill a chicken. How can I kill someone?"
Hearing that her brother did not kill anyone, Ye Lin's heart dropped. Did she hear it wrong just now?
Soon she became unconvinced and said: "There are obviously several certificates for me!"
"Hahaha."
After Ye Fan laughed, he asked in a deep voice: "Linlin, what happened in the five years I was away? How come there is a debt collector in the family?"
"Brother, after you disappeared that year, my second aunt rushed to the police station to report the case. There was a car accident on the road and she suffered brain bleeding. My second uncle sold his house and car to get enough money to save his life. He was rescued, but he became a vegetable."
"In those years, I wanted to drop out of school to take care of my second aunt, but my second uncle didn't agree. He went to work at the construction site during the day and stayed in the ward to take care of me at night. However, follow-up treatment was very expensive, and the hospital pressed for payment two days ago. My uncle's hair turned white from worry. I had no choice but to borrow 20,000 yuan from a loan shark..."
Ye Lin kept wiping her tears and said: "The debtor came to me. My best friend borrowed 30,000 yuan from her father to pay off the debt for me, but Zhang Dao insisted that I follow him from now on. When I refused, he sent people to harass me. He also threatened to kill my second uncle and second aunt."
"Brother, let's call the police. Zhang Dao won't let us go."
Suppressing the murderous intention in his heart, Ye Fan comforted his sister and said: "Don't be afraid, leave everything to me. How much medical expenses are needed now, and how much foreign debt my second uncle owes."
"There is still 50,000 yuan left for medical expenses. My second uncle has borrowed a lot of money from relatives and friends over the years. I haven't calculated the details, but it is almost one million."
"Okay, I'll bring the money back tonight."
"...Brother, are you going to rob a bank? If you are caught, you will go to jail." Ye Lin said nervously.
"Your brother has learned a lot of skills. He doesn't have any technical skills to rob banks. He doesn't want to do it."
"Brother, you are bragging again."
Ye Lin finally smiled, then hugged Ye Fan tightly and choked with sobs: "Brother, don't disappear suddenly this time. We can't live without you in our family."
"good."
Ye Fan nodded heavily.
After a moment of silence, he asked softly: "Linlin, has anyone... come looking for me since I disappeared."
"A lot. There is a sister named Liu Yingying who comes often. She sits in your room all day long. Her eyes are red when she leaves. By the way, she helped take care of my second aunt for a while when she was hospitalized."
He hesitated.
Ye Lin added: "There is a kind person who advanced a lot of medical expenses for my second aunt. I suspect it is Sister Yingying."
Ye Fan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Ye Lin gossiped: "Brother, is she your girlfriend?"
"It was before, now..."
Ye Fan's eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, don't ask so many questions, kid. Just lock the door and wait for me at home."
"Um!"
