Ye Aotian? Cui? Does this elderly gentleman know my grandparents?
I never expected that my quirky grandpa at home actually knew such an incredible person.
Thinking of grandpa, Ye Xiaofan immediately recalled that stern yet kind face. What a pity, if only I could have a few more years, get married and have a chubby little boy, he could become a grandpa. By then, he would probably be very happy, right?
When Xiaofan closed his eyes, he thought he would die like this, leaving this world with regrets. Never having done anything remarkable, never having married or had children, just leaving the world so ordinarily.
However, as Xiaofan approached the darkest edge, a light behind him caught his attention. The light approached slowly, warm, and then it grew brighter and more intense.
Xiaofan only felt his entire body enveloped in warmth, a severe pain pulling him back to reality.
If I can still feel pain, it means, I'm not dead yet.
Slowly opening his eyes again, the elderly man was sitting right in front of him, with both hands palm-down on his body. And this warm flow was being transferred from those withered hands into his own body.
"Old... Old Grandpa..."
"Don't speak..."
Xiaofan didn't want to speak either, because just opening his mouth caused his body to twitch in such pain. But he really wanted to know what the other person was doing to him. Could it be like in the Jin Yong novels, where a great hero transfers power to a small, worthless nobody?
Time slowly passed, the pain gradually faded from Xiaofan's body, and then with a 'wow,' Xiaofan spat out a mouthful of black blood. After spitting out this black blood, Xiaofan immediately felt much more comfortable. However, the old gentleman still didn't stop his actions.
After the two retained this motionless state for about half an hour, the old man's body suddenly trembled.
"Is this the limit? So be it. Reviving this young man is like giving my old life a new legacy."
With those words, Ren Zhongtian gently released his hands from Xiaofan's chest, and then he fell backward.
"Elderly gentleman..." Xiaofan was suddenly startled, supporting his weak body to get in front of Ren Zhongtian.
"Help, help me up. Dying like this is too embarrassing."
Upon hearing this, Xiaofan used all his strength to prop up the old man's body, helping him sit against a tree. Using too much strength, Xiaofan almost fainted as well, quickly sitting down beside him, panting heavily.
"I really envy Aotian; he truly lived freely, pursuing what he desired."
"Old Mr. Ren, although I really want to understand the past between you and my grandfather right now, I really don't have time anymore, I need to go rescue Shen Zuimo." Xiaofan struggled to calm his breath; he had no idea how little time Ren Zhongtian actually had left.
"Let me say two more things. Just two."
Xiaofan, who was about to stand up, paused for a moment and said 'hmm.'
"Make good use of what I gave you, I don't expect you to do anything because I already owe this to your Ye Family. But remember, if you dare use what I've given you to do bad things, you would be disgracing your grandfather. So, child, live well..."
"What did you give me, Old Mr. Ren? Ren..." Xiaofan turned his head, stunned to find that the old man in front of him had already closed his eyes. Hastily reaching out to check his pulse, he found it empty, clearly indicating that the old gentleman had lost any signs of life.
"Old Mr. Ren, I know you saved my life. Although I don't know what you gave me, I will definitely remember your words. Also, I'm sorry, I can only leave you here for now, I must go save someone important. After I save them, I'll come back to give you proper burial, if I can come back alive."
Xiaofan didn't know the special identity of the old man before him, nor did he know that Ren Zhongtian had left him at least thirty years of-earned power within him.
Xiaofan only had the single-minded thought of rescuing Shen Zuimo, encountering Ren Zhongtian was merely an accident, so his steps couldn't stop here. But as Xiaofan once again struggled to stand up, his mind suddenly felt dizzy, and before he could react, he collapsed to the ground.
"Xiaofan..." A sudden exclamation came through. Xiaofan seemed to have heard it, yet didn't hear it. Whether it was an illusion, or he had already fallen into a dream, dreaming of that beloved woman calling his name.
"Elder Ren? Elder Ren..."
The successful rescue of Shen Zuimo saw Shen Junjie and others return to the pine forest, yet the elder they respected the most could no longer utter a single word to them.
The Four Heroes of Yanhuang all knelt before Ren Zhongtian, though sad and pained, none of them shed tears. They seemed to have become familiar with death to a certain degree. Moreover, everyone had long been mentally prepared for Ren Zhongtian's departure.
"How did this kid end up here again? Wasn't he nearly dead just now?" Seeing his sister holding Ye Xiaofan tightly on the ground, Shen Junjie asked in surprise, then looked at Jie, full of questions.
"Why are you looking at me? I really did have him sent to the hospital. See, these clothes he's wearing are from the hospital room." Jie hurriedly said.
"Forget it, let's send him back first. Zuimo..." Shen Junjie said with sorrow, coming to face Shen Zuimo.
"Don't touch him." Shen Zuimo looked at Shen Junjie with a face full of hostility, seemingly having no affection for this brother of hers.
"Do you really not recognize me? Forget it, let's just send Elder Ren back first. Jie, report Elder Ren's passing to the higher-ups, please."
"Yes."
Shen Zuimo was successfully rescued, which must have involved a battle, yet it was Blood Wolf and their side who got slaughtered.
Blood Wolf originally thought that once they got out of the pine forest and into the car already prepared, they could continue ahead. The pursuing Shen Junjie wouldn't catch up.
However, they didn't expect Ren Zhongtian had already placed snipers around the forest. As soon as Blood Wolf and others got into their car and drove less than a hundred meters, Bing relied on precise sniping, first blowing out the tire of the car Shen Zuimo was in. When the car stopped, he sequentially shot out the tires of the other cars with ease.
Moreover, due to the threat of the sniper, Blood Wolf and others without a car had to flee on foot. However, except for Blood Wolf, none of his men could escape the sniper's shots.
When Shen Junjie and others caught up, five of Blood Wolf's subordinates had already fallen. Yet Shen Junjie and his group hardly had a chance to make a move.
Shen Zuimo wasn't a fool. She guessed this series of skirmishes was orchestrated by those coming to rescue her. So, after secretly freeing her hands from the rope, she didn't act rashly. Waiting for the right moment, she launched a sneak attack from behind Blood Wolf, using a pick-up wooden stick to pierce through the back of his neck.
