NOVPUBChen Nan felt a heavy weight on his heart.
If it was a last resort, accepting Wu Maz’s legacy would sit right with him.
But the problem was...
Wu Maz had staked an entire lifetime’s legacy on him.
He felt the legacy was as heavy as a mountain, crushing him with a suffocating weight.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Nan said, "Since I have become his disciple, I shall ensure he is well taken care of."
Yang Ruoshui spoke softly, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Chen Nan replied, "You can prepare the list I need. I’ll call some friends over to get this old guy moved out."
Yang Ruoshui acknowledged with a sound and left the medical room to go to the office, where she organized a list of prisoners who had been released from the prison in the past three months.
In addition, Yang Ruoshui found some of Wu Maz’s personal effects in the prison’s storage locker, including two books related to Gu Technique, which she handed over to Chen Nan.
At the same time, Zhou Long also arrived at the prison with the funeral home’s cremation van.
"I’ll go handle the old man’s funeral first, we can stay in touch by phone if there’s anything," Chen Nan told Yang Ruoshui before he left the prison.
An hour later. 𝘯𝑜𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝘤𝘰𝑚
Chen Nan parked his car at the funeral home, handed over the death certificate issued by the prison to the staff, and waited in the lobby outside the cremation room.
Zhou Long couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Chen, would you like to set up a mourning hall for your master?"
"No need," Chen Nan said softly. "The old man didn’t have many friends, and his ancestral home isn’t here. There’s no need for that. Let him come quietly and go quietly!"
Two hours later.
The door to the cremation room slowly opened, and a staff member came out holding an urn made of jade material.
Chen Nan stepped forward to receive it, then carried the urn and left the funeral home. He didn’t place Wu Maz in the cemetery but drove to the top of a desolate mountain outside the city.
"I don’t know if you’d be satisfied with this arrangement."
"If I were you, I definitely wouldn’t want to be buried in a foreign land."
"I hope your soul can roam freely and finally return to your birthplace!" Chen Nan opened the urn, took out a handful of ashes, and as a gentle breeze blew, Wu Maz’s ashes drifted off into the distance.
At the same time.
He silently recited scriptures to liberate Wu Maz’s soul.
This was the only thing he could do for Wu Maz besides inheriting his legacy.
After completing this task, Chen Nan went down to the foot of the mountain where Zhou Long was still waiting for him.
Chen Nan handed Zhou Long a list, "Brother Long, there are twenty ex-prisoners on this list. Go and contact them discreetly to see if you can persuade them to join us."
"As long as they are willing to work with us, we can satisfy all their desires."
In fact, the list given by Yang Ruoshui had information on over a hundred people, but Chen Nan had omitted most of them. Those people were too old and had families, which made them unsuitable for a life of desperation.
That’s why he only selected twenty ex-prisoners who had served their sentences.
Though the number was small, if all could be put to use, it would be entirely sufficient.
Zhou Long looked troubled, "Mr. Chen, aren’t you coming with me? I’m afraid I might not have a good eye for people and spoil your important plans."
Chen Nan gave him an encouraging smile, "You’ve been in the underworld for many years, I trust your judgment." Saying so, he got into his Mercedes-Benz, started the car, and sped away.
Chen Nan didn’t return to Jinxiu Qiancheng, nor did he go back to Jade Garden. Instead, he drove fifty li to the west of the city to Taishu Town.
His purpose for coming here was simple.
He was here to meet someone.
A woman named Si Meng.
The list Yang Ruoshui had given him included men and women, young and old.
Among the dozen or so women, a woman named Si Meng caught his attention.
Si Meng.
Female.
Twenty-seven years old.
Having lived with her mother since childhood, though their life was poor, it was also very happy.
After graduating from college, she returned to Jizhou and worked as an accountant in a company. Her income wasn’t very high, but it was enough for the everyday expenses of mother and daughter.
But this peaceful life was shattered with the arrival of her biological father.
Her biological father was an alcoholic who was addicted to drinking.
Not only that, but he often berated and beat his wife and daughter, leaving them with painful memories and experiences.
Therefore,
When Si Meng was eight years old, her mother divorced her father and cut off all ties.
This time,
Her alcoholic father returned, wanting to sell her to a despicable young man to earn a substantial bride price.
Si Meng’s mother naturally refused.
An argument ensued, which resulted in her mother suffering a brutal beating.
When Si Meng returned home and saw her mother lying in a pool of blood, she went crazy with rage, exploding in anger, and grabbed a rolling pin to charge without a second thought.
In that moment, she vented all the rage and resentment from her memories.
By the time she regained her composure, her alcoholic father laid in a pool of blood, no longer breathing.
Si Meng calmly called the police to surrender herself.
But she was sentenced to five years for excessive self-defense, although she was released one year early for good behavior.
According to the information he had, Si Meng was a very beautiful woman.
The reason Chen Nan came to contact her was to have her join his own force.
After all, the more beautiful a woman was, the more lethal she became.
Like a deadly serpent, once bitten by her, there were fatal risks.
Eventually,
Chen Nan slowly drove into Taishu Town, stopping in front of a bustling barbecue stall at the town center.
By then, night had fallen, and several groups of customers had gathered at the barbecue stall.
Most of these customers were bare-armed, smoking cigarettes, and let out bursts of hearty laughter from time to time.
The atmosphere was harmonious, full of life and vitality.
And there, Chen Nan also saw a woman with ear-length short hair.
Her features were stunning; a pair of large eyes shone like the brightest stars in the night sky, deep and luminous. With every shift of her gaze, it seemed as if she held endless stories and temptations.
Her thick, curling eyelashes resembled two tiny fans, fluttering with each blink, as if gently brushing across people’s heartstrings.
Below her high-bridged nose were lips that were tender and enticing, like ripe cherries, red and plump, making one long to take a bite.
Her figure was tall and curvaceous, emitting a fatal allure with every move she made.
She was dressed in a white T-shirt, outlining her proud curves, with the neckline slightly open, revealing a heart-accelerating arc.
Especially that glimpse of cleavage, like a mystical ravine, drew the gaze of everyone, provoking wild thoughts.
Below that was a black tight-fitting skirt, the ultra-short garment snugly wrapping her round and perky buttocks, enhancing their sexiness, and unabashedly showcasing her long shapely legs.
She was the target of Chen Nan’s visit—Si Meng!
However,
This woman was even more beautiful and sexy than he had imagined!
