Chapter 777: Chapter 777: Three Suspicious Locations
Kong Lingwen knew what Yang Cheng was doing, but the others didn’t, so she had to step up and speak.
Elder Kong sighed, "I understand you young people have your own ideas, but I can’t feel at ease. The side branches of the Kong Family have been eyeing us like tigers, seeing you, a girl, managing the Kong Family, and they all want a piece of the pie."
"Grandpa, it’s all my fault for not being assertive. If I were capable, I wouldn’t have let my sister support the Kong Family on her own."
At this moment, Kong Lingchuan spoke with a face full of guilt.
Upon hearing this, Elder Kong was stunned for a moment, and then said with comforting eyes, "Ling Chuan has become sensible. The descendants of the Kong Family should not fear a lack of ability, but fear having an unscrupulous mind. Knowing you can share the burden with your sister reassures me."
"In the past, I was not fond of you because I was dissatisfied with your mother, but you are my grandson, something that cannot be changed. I hope in the future, when I’m no longer here, you siblings can live in harmony and support the Kong Family together."
"Grandpa, I can definitely do it! I was wrong in the past and did many things wrong. From now on, I will assist my sister and not let her work so hard."
Kong Lingchuan spoke sincerely.
These words made Kong Lingwen feel a bit sour at heart. Actually, her brother was hostile to her because she had never given him a good face.
Ultimately, Kong Lingchuan had no understanding of the grievances between adults. In his view, it was just that the family treated him coldly for no reason while favoring his sister, so his sense of imbalance was normal.
Kong Lingwen didn’t like to be sentimental, she just said plainly, "Grandpa, don’t worry, we’ve all grown up."
Elder Kong’s eyes turned red, he looked at Yang Cheng beside him, and said affectionately, "Xiaochen, you’ve worked hard these days. I was too muddle-headed just now, you have your own things to attend to, I can’t hold you back for my own selfish reasons."
"Feel free to focus on your own matters, and pick a good day for the wedding when you return."
"Okay, I’ll be back as soon as possible."
Yang Cheng replied with a smile.
The atmosphere suddenly became harmonious. He chatted with Elder Kong and casually asked, "Grandpa, have you heard of the Land of Extreme Yin?"
"What is the Land of Extreme Yin?"
"It’s a place with heavy Yin Qi, like graveyards or cemeteries. Do you know where a famous graveyard was located?"
As soon as the words fell, Elder Kong nodded and said, "Of course, I know."
He then began to talk enthusiastically, recounting the story of a certain graveyard, and then went on to his own glorious deeds of the past.
He talked for a full two hours, long since straying from the topic, but seeing the old man’s interest, Yang Cheng couldn’t bear to interrupt.
Until the butler Wen Xu spoke softly, "Elder, it’s getting late, you should rest."
"I’m not finished yet!"
Actually, Elder Kong wasn’t the least bit tired, but if he didn’t go back, Wen Xu would nag on endlessly, so he had no choice but to bid farewell to everyone and retreat to his room to rest.
Seeing this, Yang Cheng immediately said, "Lin Wen, Ms. Qi Yue, come with me to the study."
The two women immediately got up and followed him upstairs.
After closing the door, he opened the computer to search for information on ’Land of Extreme Yin’, ’Haunted Evil Place’, ’Abandoned Hospital’, and other related topics.
"Yang Cheng, what do you want the Land of Extreme Yin for?"
Kong Lingwen asked in confusion, just hearing the name made her spine chill.
"The medicine I need is located in the Land of Extreme Yin. Although the old man said a lot of nonsense just now, he gave me a few potential locations. I’ll check online for information and select a few places."
Kong Lingwen nodded and went over to help search.
The three of them scoured a large number of posts, news reports, and paranormal forum discussions on the internet, selecting and distinguishing them one by one.
The paranormal cases circulating on the internet were mostly groundless and exaggerated, but there were some locations frequently mentioned for bizarre incidents and abnormally high casualty rates.
Before they knew it, it was already late at night, their eyes were strained from reading. Relying on instincts and information, Yang Cheng finally narrowed down three most probable locations.
"Anling City, Old City Workers’ Hospital, is the place Grandpa just mentioned."
He pointed to a piece of information on the screen and said slowly, "This hospital was built in the nineties, operated for less than five years before it was closed due to frequent medical incidents and patients’ mysterious deaths. It’s said that after it was closed, a construction team attempted to demolish it, but the workers collectively experienced hallucinations inside, and someone even jumped from the third floor, breaking his leg. After that, no one dared to touch it."
"The second one is Canglan City, North Suburb Mental Hospital."
Cheng Qiyue took over the conversation, her expression becoming serious, "This one is even more outrageous. During its operation, there were reports of patients disappearing en masse. Later, it was exposed for conducting illegal human experiments. After its closure, strange sounds were frequently heard inside. Several adventure bloggers went in and claimed to have seen things they shouldn’t have. One of them even went insane."
Then Kong Lingwen continued, "The third one is also quite scary, at Qingfeng City Railway Workers’ Hospital."
"Locals say this hospital was a graveyard during the war, and later a hospital was built on it. From laying the foundation, it was never smooth, frequently unearthing bones. After completion, the death rate was extraordinarily high, particularly around the mortuary, where it’s said to be common to hear cries at midnight."
These three locations were determined to be the most probable after the three compared and screened. If none of these places held the answer, they would have to go through every location with paranormal rumors.
However, if they took that route, the workload would be massive, and he would still have to return to Linzhou every three days to extend Jiang Yu’s life.
Staring at the three locations on the screen, Yang Cheng fell into contemplation.
The three cities were in different directions: Anling City was closest to Zhonghai, about a four-hour drive, Canglan City was slightly farther, taking seven hours, and Qingfeng City was the farthest, nearly spanning half the province.
Yang Cheng made a decision and said, "Let’s head to Anling first. If it’s not there, we can make it back in time so as not to delay too long, and then return to Linzhou to perform acupuncture for Miss Jiang."
"Then we’ll set off tomorrow morning."
Cheng Qiyue yawned. She hadn’t been sleeping well these past couples of days, and she planned to catch up on sleep tonight.
Yang Cheng glanced at her and hesitated, "Are you sure you still want to go? It’ll be even scarier than the abandoned hospital in Zhonghai."
"It’s okay, with you there, I’m not afraid."
Even though she was a cultivator, she found such places spooky, but going with someone at least gave her someone to talk to, otherwise, she wouldn’t feel comfortable letting Yang Cheng go alone.
Yang Cheng smiled and did not refuse further.
After leaving the study, the three returned to their rooms, but before long, Kong Lingwen, dressed in a sexy nightgown, knocked on Yang Cheng’s door.
