Chapter 166: God of Fire (Part )

Vulcan's father was a rising star from the poor Lin family. He was very smart, studious, and used the gambling mechanism to rise to prominence. When he was young, he persuaded the elders to agree to his gambling agreement and got a small company with balanced income and expenditure. He turned the small company from loss to profit within three months of taking office, and has been smooth sailing since then.

Every Lin family member had to pay a sum of money to the elders council every year, which was about 0.1% of their wealth. The richer they were, the more they paid. Now, Fire God's father had entered the top of the Lin families registered in the family tree, which was a very good result.

Huoshen was born smoothly. When he was 5 years old, his mother died. Huoshen went to the Presbyterian Church to sue his father and Uncle Tang. That night, Huoshen woke up after hearing the sound of an argument. He looked from the second floor to the living room on the first floor. His mother was lying on the floor with a disease. The medicine bottle was just one meter away from her, and there were many medicines scattered on the floor. Uncle Tang and his father quietly kicked the medicine away until his mother died. After his mother died, his father and Uncle Tang packed up the medicine and reported to the Presbyterian Church, saying that his wife had died.

The Council of Elders launched an investigation and told Vulcan a few days later that what he saw was not true, as Uncle Tang and his father were not in Hancheng that day.

Vulcan thought that the elders favored the murderer of his mother, so he refused to approach his father, rejected the care of the elders, and was full of hatred. His father remarried, and his stepmother soon became pregnant, but she miscarried because she stepped on a toy car. In everyone's opinion, Vulcan always resented his father, and his stepmother's miscarriage might have been caused by Vulcan. However, Vulcan did not know the truth of the matter, and was not sure whether it was caused by his throwing toys around.

Three months later, the stepmother became pregnant again, and Huoshen was temporarily sent to live in Hancheng. His family rented a house for him and assigned him a nanny. The nanny was not very attentive to the exiled young master, which led to Huoshen being abducted. The nanny was afraid of the power of the Lin family, so she made up a lie that Huoshen was playing at the beach and was swept away by the waves.

The scene of his mother struggling to die was always in Kagami's mind. When he grew up, he also knew that his father never looked for him after he was abducted, and all this became a knot in his heart.

After being kidnapped, he had a very painful experience, but he could never erase the hatred in the heart of the Fire God. Five years ago, he was already a quasi-Seven Killers, but because Huo Yao was old and immortal, he never had the opportunity to take the position. However, this is the normal life of a quasi-Seven Killers, and the housekeeper also hopes that they can become normal people, forget all the pain, and start their lives again.

As time passed, everything was going well until the Fire God met Uncle Tang in Indonesia. Various memories came to his mind, so he kidnapped Uncle Tang. Uncle Tang told the Fire God that what he saw was the truth and he was willing to pay for the Fire Mother's life. Under pressure, Uncle Tang reluctantly revealed a little, telling the Fire God that his mother's death was a scandal of the Lin family.

In summary, the Fire God Mother suffered a heart attack due to the shock of knowing something, and Uncle Tang and his father chose to let the Fire God Mother die when they could have saved her.

What was the scandal? Uncle Tang insisted not to tell anyone, even when the God of Fire used torture instruments, he refused to answer. Unexpectedly, Uncle Tang was in poor health, and after a set of tortures, he fell into a coma and eventually died due to ineffective rescue. When the Lin family collected the body, they found something unusual about it, but they did not call the police.

Vulcan's goal is not 50 million, his purpose is to have a private conversation with the head of the Lin family, and let Mr. Lin tell him the truth about his mother's death. If he is not satisfied, he will vent his infinite resentment that he has accumulated.

The housekeeper did not issue any tasks to Yiyi and Cui Jian, nor did he ask Cui Jian to protect the God of Fire. His purpose was to hope that Cui Jian could pay attention to the matter of the God of Fire while keeping himself safe.

Cui Jian didn't like Vulcan very much. Although many innocent people fell under his gun, Cui Jian considered this as collateral damage. He never had the idea or action of deliberately killing innocent people, nor did he coerce innocent people to achieve his goals.

Several lives had already been lost at the entrance of the shopping mall. In Cui Jian's opinion, Vulcan's behavior was very inappropriate. At least Cui Jian would not kill an innocent passerby just to eliminate the target or distract the bodyguards who were protecting the target.

Cui Jian asked: "Yiyi, do you think there is something wrong with our system? Previously, there was Han Ren. The Seven Killings System trained him to be a sharp blade master, and he became a commercial killer. Now a Fire God has been trained. We gave them the skills to kill, but we cannot control them from doing evil."

Yiyi disagreed: "Do evil? Cui Jian, when did you become a saint?"

Cui Jian: "It has nothing to do with whether he is a saint or not. If the God of Fire has the guts, he should just go after the person involved. He deliberately set up such a mystery and killed many innocent people. To put it another way, his target should be the Lin family, not using the lives of ordinary people to intimidate the police and the Lin family."

Yiyi: "Cui Jian, don't forget, we are all mentally ill, otherwise how could we have such an obsession to come all the way? Or why do you think the Seven Killings also need rules? The behavior of the Fire God did not violate the rules of the Seven Killings, and the housekeeper did not ask us to help him kill people. This matter has nothing to do with you. I will find a way to let the Fire God and Mr. Lin have some time to talk alone."

Cui Jian: "Rules are the minimum standards for people."

Yiyi: "There's no point in arguing. Neither you nor I can convince each other."

Cui Jian: "Please convey my opinion to the housekeeper."

Yiyi: "I will."

……

Cui Jian went straight home and saw Yun Xinyue wearing sunglasses and a big red hat as soon as he entered the house. There were a dozen paper bags on the sofa. Yun Xinyue didn't care about Xueying's dissatisfied expression and took out a silk scarf, a bracelet and other things to put on Xueying.

Yun Xinyue was very happy to see Cui Jian: "Jianjian."

"Hi."

Yun Xinyue blinked her eyes. Cui Jian always didn’t like her calling him Jianjian, but why didn’t he resist today?
Cui Jian hung up his suit and went to the kitchen without saying a word. Yun Xinyue was outside the kitchen and said, "Jianjian, I also bought you a set of jeans."

Cui Jian: "Thank you, but I don't need it." There was a hint of impatience in his tone.

Yun Xinyue put away her smile and asked, "What happened?"

Cui Jian: "Sister, we are not very familiar with each other, can you please stop caring about me?"

Yun Xinyue said happily: "You have such a sweet mouth, Xiaoying, you should learn from her."

Cui Jian is going crazy. Can you please pay attention to the key point?
Yun Xinyue said: "When you encounter something unhappy, you will feel happy if you speak it out."

Cui Jian: "I'm not unhappy, really, I just don't like the behavior of some people."

Yun Xinyue said: "I don't like the behavior of many people, but I respect their behavior as long as they don't break the law."

Cui Jian looked back at Yun Xinyue, who spread her hands and said, "Otherwise, seeing so many beautiful young girls every day would have made me furious. Besides, what qualifications do you have to demand that others behave in accordance with your preferences? After all, many people hate your behavior, too."

This makes sense, just like Cui Jian's firm path to the Seven Killings, which is a kind of belief and obsession. Vulcan has always retained his obsession with his mother's death. What Vulcan did did not violate the Seven Killings rules, and he was also prepared to sacrifice his own life. Perhaps for Vulcan, solving the mystery of his mother's death is his highest life goal. I can't ask every Seven Killer and quasi-Seven Killer to regard faith as life. As long as their behavior complies with the Seven Killings rules, it is impeccable. After all, the Seven Killings allow them to return to society freely.

Cui Jian said: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Feeling Cui Jian's sincerity in thanking her, Yun Xinyue bent her waist, turned around and left proudly.

Xueying pulled Yun Xinyue aside and asked in a low voice: "Mom, you have a husband, what do you want to do?"

Yun Xinyue shook off Xueying's hand: "Mind your own business."

Xueying shook her head: "There must be something."

Yun Xinyue whispered, "Half a year ago, when I returned to my hometown in the Divine Kingdom, a senior monk read my fortune and told me that I had to adopt a son in order to bless our Yun family's prosperity. Cui Jian's situation happened to meet the requirements of the senior monk, so he is the son I want to adopt."

Xueying suddenly realized: "No wonder you made up a lie about losing the child and even asked him to do a DNA test. It seems you are setting a trap here."

Yun Xinyue nodded: "You little girl, you need acting skills and good looks, you need eloquence and good looks, if you don't have a good grasp of the matter, don't get involved in this matter."

Xueying asked: "That's not right. Can a high monk also tell fortunes?"

Yun Xinyue angrily patted Xueying on the head: "Buddha is the Tao."

Xueying looked at Yun Xinyue coldly and aggrievedly.

Yun Xinyue then said softly, "The monk said that it doesn't matter whether he recognizes me or not. As long as I sincerely treat him as my adopted son and you sincerely treat him as your brother, then our Yun family's fortune will become stronger and stronger. Anyway, you should treat him as your brother in daily life. As long as you believe in him, we will be more prosperous. Do you understand?" Xueying: "Mom, when did you believe this?"

Yun Xinyue: "I didn't believe it at first, but this monk is so expensive. There must be a reason for his high status."

There were so many complaints that Xueying couldn't refute them for a moment.

Yun Xinyue: "Did you remember? I have already told your sisters and brothers."

"I remember." Xueying asked, "What about dad?"

Yun Xinyue shook her head: "Your father knows about this. But your father is a member of the Xue family, he can't treat him as an adopted son, otherwise he will absorb the luck of the Xue family. Look, if it wasn't for him, the police and ambulance would have arrived at least ten minutes later, right?"

It sounds reasonable, but I feel fooled. But how could my mother lie? Even if it's not right, it's my mother who was fooled by the monk. Okay, as long as my mother is happy, Xueying said, "Then when are you leaving? It's annoying to stay in Hancheng every day."

Yun Xinyue was angry: "If you say so, I will live in Hancheng in the near future."

Xueying: "Mom."

"what?"

Xueying: "I want to study design."

Yun Xinyue: "When can you concentrate on doing one thing?"

Xueying: "This time it's true. Even Cui Jian said that I have a talent for design."

Yun Xinyue: "Oh? Then I, your mom, support you 100%. What kind of design did he say you have talent for? Jewelry? Clothing?"

Xueying: "Gardens and decoration."

Yun Xinyue thought for a second: "He said you have a talent for gardening and decoration?" These are two different things. Jewelry and clothing design emphasizes spirituality, and good design can make jewelry and clothing have higher added value. Gardening and decoration design is a complete second party, and it has to meet all kinds of inexplicable requirements of the first party. It's completely different.

Xueying was puzzled: "He said I have a strong ability of spatial imagination."

Yun Xinyue said: "There are many majors, such as scene setting for game animation, urban planning, etc."

Xueying couldn't help but ask, "Why do you believe him?"

Yun Xinyue asked back: "Do I believe you?"

Xueying went crazy: "I am your biological daughter."

Yun Xinyue: "I am impartial and fair."

Cui Jian came out while they were talking. Xueying was very angry with Yun Xinyue and asked Cui Jian for help: "Cui Jian, what major do you think I should apply for?"

Cui Jian was holding a rag and was about to wipe the table when he heard Xueying's question. He thought seriously for a while and said, "If your fingers can recover completely or most of their functions, and the ring finger is the least important finger in the hand, you can perform surgery on patients in the future. Except for clinical medicine, other medical professions do not have very high requirements for fingers, such as anesthesiology." Cui Jian thought that Xueying wanted to change her major because of his words, which led to the quarrel with Yun Xinyue.

Yun Xinyue agreed very much and said, "Perseverance will eventually pay off. Don't give up on your goals easily."

Xueying looked at Yun Xinyue with a cold face. She felt like beating up the monk. She snorted and prepared to leave.

Cui Jian said: "Do you have any plans for tonight?"

Xueying was about to speak, but Yun Xinyue immediately said, "No."

Cui Jian: "If you don't mind, we can have dinner together."

Yun Xinyue was delighted and took the initiative to invite herself to dinner. This was a big change. She didn't expect that she was so talented in parenting. A few words enlightened Cui Jian, making him grateful and he immediately agreed: "Okay."

The actual reason why Cui Jian invited me to dinner was that we bought too many dishes, especially meat. Meat doesn’t taste good if it is thawed after being frozen, and it is not fresh if it is kept in the refrigerator.

Three meat dishes, one vegetable dish, one soup, and two plates of pickled vegetables looked simple and shabby, but the portions were sufficient and most importantly, they tasted good. However, Yun Xinyue was not a foodie, so she asked the bodyguard waiting outside to get a bottle of red wine. Cui Jian helped open the wine and poured wine for the two women, and poured himself a bowl of seaweed soup.

Yun Xinyue thought Cui Jian was being polite, so she took out the wine glass and wanted to pour some wine for him, but Cui Jian refused: "I don't drink, thank you."

Yun Xinyue was quite surprised: "You don't drink? Very few people don't drink, unless they have a chronic disease."

Cui Jian replied: "Alcohol can make people lose control of their bodies."

Yun Xinyue nodded, picked up the red wine and took a sip, then said leisurely, "It sounds like you lack a sense of security."

Cui Jian disagrees: "There is no such sentimental word as security in my concept."

Yun Xinyue smiled and said, "Or maybe you could be in danger at any time, so you can't drink."

Cui Jian thought about it and nodded: "Maybe there is such a possibility."

Seeing that Yun Xinyue didn't even have her in her eyes, Xueying thought of Yun Xinyue's previous words and deeds, and couldn't help but said: "Brother Cui, my mother said she wants to adopt you as her godson." Looking at Yun Xinyue: You'll be mad to death.

Yun Xinyue had a smile in her eyes. She was a stupid daughter. She was sold but still helped others count the money.

"Ah?" Cui Jian suspected that he had heard it wrongly: "Mr. Yun, you have a son."

Yun Xinyue: "I mistook you for my son at first sight, and the more I looked at you, the more I liked you. But unfortunately, fate plays tricks on me. No matter how much I think about it, it's hard to untie this knot in my heart." Yun Xinyue stepped on Xueying and raised her eyebrows at her: Keep selling your mother.

Xueying said angrily, "Brother Cui, don't listen to my mother's nonsense. The Yun family is very superstitious. They found a monk who said that taking someone like you in would increase the luck of the Yun family."

Yun Xinyue was exposed, her face turned red, she gave Xueying a sad look, and said embarrassedly: "See, that's it. But we won't interfere with your life. If you want, I can give you 50 million US dollars on behalf of the Yun family now."

Cui Jian was so scared that he swallowed the whole piece of Dongpo pork. Fortunately, the meat was soft and he swallowed it in two swallows.

Xueying couldn't believe it either. She knew that the Yun family of the Divine Kingdom was superstitious, but they started with 50 million US dollars. Oh, did you say the wrong unit? 50 million Korean won should be correct.
