Girl, I'll Teach You Cultivation Chapter 122

Pain flashed through Jiang Yi's eyes as he avoided Lin Yueling's gaze, "What else can we do? We only have one son. Should I let him go to prison like me?"
"But you…"
"I'm fine!" Jiang Yi replied.
Lin Yueling loved her son and also loved Jiang Yi, so she didn't wish for Jiang Yi to be insulted. "Shall I call then?"
He was in prison 12 years ago so he couldn't prevent her from going to the Imperial Capital and let her suffer through humiliation. This time, he wasn't going to let Lin Yueling do such a thing.
He went to the side and called the number he had almost forgotten.
His hand trembled when the call got connected, "Hello, is it you, Second Brother? It's me, Jiang Yi."
The other side didn't reply for a moment. A man's voice came through after a while, "You haven't called in a long time."
"It's indeed been a long time."
"I believed you won't call again."
"Mhm!"
"Is Old Man there? I want to talk to him."
"The Old Man told us to never pick up your call. What do you need? Telling me is also the same."
Jiang Yi ruminated for a moment while the muscles on his cheeks shuddered. He hadn't expected the Old Man to be so heartless. Jiang Yi would have hung the call usually, but he couldn't do that today. Jiang Xiu's future would end if he did that. "Second Brother, I want you to save my son…"
Jiang Yi felt like all this strength was leaving him as he said this.
"What happened to your son?"
"He killed a person. He's a good child. He murdered Tang Zhengping's son to take revenge for me. I-I don't want him to go to prison…"
"You went to prison, and now your son is also going to go to prison. These raw facts are proof that you made a big mistake by leaving the family back then."
Blood flowed from the corners of Jiang Yi's mouth as he clenched his teeth hard, "Yes, it was my mistake. Second Brother, I'm requesting you. Please save my son. I only have one son."
The man on the other end sighed, "Sigh. You would have never acted like that then if you knew this would happen."
Jiang Xiu remained silent, but his body trembled.
"Alright. I'll look for a chance to speak to the Old Man…"
The other end hung the call after saying this.
The only thing audible was the ice-cold beeping sound.
Lin Yueling, who was standing nearby noticed Jiang Yi's expression. She felt quite uneasy. It was a desperate situation, but Jiang Yi didn't even get an opportunity to talk to with the Old Man.
She still held a little hope, "How did it go?"
"The Old Man didn't receive my call. My Second Brother said he'll find a chance to speak with the Old Man about this matter. After all, Jiang Xiu is his own grandson so he won't ignore this matter."
He felt his heart bleed when he said this. Back then, he hadn't even saved his own son and let Jiang Yi rot in prison.
The officer outside urged them, "Are you ready? We have to go immediately."
"Yes. Let's go!"
The couple boarded the police car helplessly. Lin Yueling question the police officer at this moment, "Officer, can I ask you where my son is right now?"
"You are asking us when we want to ask you that. Take note of your cell phone and keep it charged. It's possible your son might call you while fleeing."
"Fleeing?"
Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling couldn't believe their ears.
The people inside the police department of Ninghai City were almost quarreling when they arrived there. They were planning to capture Jiang Xiu, but the matter was too strange. It was as if Jiang Xiu had disappeared mysteriously."
Two officers interrogated the couple and asked all kinds of things about Jiang Xiu but no matter which aspect they looked at, Jiang Xiu was a regular, kind child. He was also the provincial topper of the college entrance exam.
The interrogation room's door was opened by Tang Zhengping as he made his way there. His eyes behind the spectacles were bloody red. He felt dispirited. Back then, he had schemed to send Jiang Yi to prison and destroyed his family, giving them endless pain, but that pain couldn't be compared to the pain he felt right now after losing his son.
"Jiang Yi!"
He suddenly dashed ahead and grabbed Jiang Yi's collar, raising him up to the air as the fury overcame him, making him lose his temper and behave in a manner unsuitable as a Secretary, "Where is your son?! Where is he?!"
"I don't know!" Jiang Yi replied.
This man before him was the one who had destroyed him 12 years ago. Everything had changed from then on. He believed he had already separated himself from that circle, but it seemed like he hadn't.
"Calm down!"
"Secretary Tang, calm down a bit!"
A few officers pulled them apart.
"Jiang Yi, you think your son can escape after killing my son?"
"He won't be able to. Entire Ninghai City has been blocked off. He can't escape even if he grows wings."
"I'll make your son pay with his life."
Lin Yueling screamed at him, "Your son was the one who teased Susu first. Little Xiu only wanted to defend his fiancee. It's manslaughter at most and isn't a crime big enough to sentence death."
Looking at the circumstances of the case, it was indeed this way. There were many witnesses there as well.
"Your son must be dreaming if he thinks of living after killing Zhiming!" Tang Zhengping gritted his teeth, "I'll use all the power of my Tang family to make sure he's dead."
Jiang Yi and Lin Yueling's faces turned pale.
"What should we do?" Lin Yueling asked Jiang Yi with worry.
"I'll call them again, okay?"
They had come to provide assistance for the investigation, so their freedom wasn't restricted. Jiang Yi went to the side and called the number again.
"Hello, Second Brother? It's me."
"Didn't I tell you not to worry? You know the Old Man's character. I'll find a suitable timing to mention it to him."
Jiang Yi was naturally worried as there was no time to lose.
"Tang Zhengping is the Secretary here, and the case has also happened here… It doesn't look well, Second Brother. I'm begging you, save my son."
"Isn't he your nephew?"
"Didn't you already leave the Jiang family and sever the relationship?"
"Why are you trying to use family ties now?"
Jiang Yi said, "It was my mistake back then, Second Brother. I'm begging you, please save Little Xiu…"
Jiang Yi had never lowered his head in his entire life, not even when he got imprisoned, but today, he had even begged.
"I can't believe how low the former high-spirited Third Young Master Jiang has fallen."
"We are brothers. I'll talk with the Old Man about it, but if it doesn't work, it'll all depend on your son's luck."
Jiang Yi rushed to thank him, "Thank you, Second Brother."
He bowed down like a slave, but his words came from the bottom of his heart. He could only bow down in front of fate.
And right now, Jiang Xiu was utterly oblivious to all this and ate dinner together with Cheng Lingsu. After that, he used her phone to call Wang Xintong and arrange a hotel for him. His phone had stopped working when he went into the pool, and since they hadn't used their ID, the police couldn't find them. After checking into the hotel, he began cultivating.
As Cheng Lingsu didn't have a charger, her cell phone also ran out of charge. Perhaps because she hasn't slept properly in the past few days, she fell into a deep sleep after getting scared by today's events.
The police department of Ninghai City had blocked all the roads and busied themselves the entire night in vain.
Early morning on the next day.
Jiang Xiu was roused up from his sleep by a call. He picked it up and to his surprise, it was a call form, Secretary Gu, "Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Jiang!"
"It's fine. It was about time for this Deity to wake up." Jiang Xiu asked, "Did Secretary Gu call so early for some reason?"
"Yes. My elder brother wishes to meet Mr. Jiang?"
"Meet this Deity?"
Jiang Xiu muttered to himself, "This Deity is a little busy so it won't be possible to do it in the short term."
"I heard from Lady Wang Xintong that you were at Ninghai City. My elder brother is also over there. He's trying to search for a place called Bodhi Gene within the mountain regions of Ninghai City so you can meet each other."
"Bodhi Gene?"
Secretary Gu had told his elder brother about the matter of Jiang Xiu stopping a bullet and about Ming Lun's case, but his elder brother felt skeptical about it. He agreed to meet Jiang Xiu, but before he did that, he wishes to first find the location of Bodhi Gene.
