Chapter 1980 Rejuvenation
Atop Rain Mountain, Yang Ningchang, Lynn, and Long Qingxuan watched silently as police vehicles escorted Zhu Ding and his men away. The silence finally broke.
"They've made a statement," Lynn announced, raising her phone. The screen displayed a formal government announcement detailing Zhu Tianlong's corruption with brutal honesty.
"No holding back, huh?" Lynn remarked.
Exposing the extent of Zhu Tianlong's crimes would undoubtedly spark public outrage and damage the government's credibility. But the old man, in an apparent display of sincerity towards Yun Lintian, had pulled no punches.
This marked the official resolution of the Yun Lintian-Zhu family conflict.
"They had no choice," Long Qingxuan said softly. In her eyes, the old man's supposed sincerity masked a deeper fear of Yun Lintian's power.
Yang Ningchang remained silent, the weight of the ordeal finally lifted from her shoulders. She turned to Long Qingxuan, her voice soft. "Sister Qingxuan, can you tell me what he is facing now?"
Curiosity gnawed at Yang Ningchang. Yun Lintian's return to Earth wasn't a simple vacation. She yearned to understand his experiences over the years.Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m
"There's little you can do to help him," Long Qingxuan replied calmly, her words harsh but honest. "Few truly can, myself included."
Yang Ningchang and Lynn exchanged a solemn glance.
"You will understand it later," Long Qingxuan added.
Just then, the taxi pulled up. Yun Lintian and Lei Hao emerged and walked towards them.
Linlin and Qingqing, squealing with delight, launched themselves at Yun Lintian, who scooped them up in a hug.
"It's done," he said simply to Yang Ningchang.
Pushing aside their curiosity, Yang Ningchang and Lynn offered him a warm smile.
Yun Lintian's gaze drifted towards Xia Yao's gravestone. "Did you put it back?" he asked softly.
"Yes," Yang Ningchang replied gently. "It's a replica. We had a new one made."
As the last traces of divine energy dissipated, Rain Mountain was reborn. In its place stood Cloudhaven Orphanage, a sprawling modern residential complex nestled amidst the embrace of nature.
Yang Ningchang, Lynn, and Lei Hao stood speechless, mouths agape in stunned awe before the magnificent residential complex. Though well aware of Yun Lintian's prowess, they never anticipated the creation of a city within mere minutes.
Yun Lintian surveyed his masterpiece with a flicker of satisfaction. This, without a doubt, would be the finest orphanage the world had ever seen.
"This is great for those children," Lei Hao remarked with a touch of envy. "Living here would be a dream come true."
"Indeed," Lynn breathed, her voice filled with wonder. Every detail within this complex exuded the utmost quality.
Yun Lintian turned to Lynn. "I'm entrusting this place to your people. It should comfortably accommodate a hundred thousand children. I envision establishing more orphanages nationwide but under the government's management."
"Consider it done. Anna's already on her way back," Lynn replied. Anna had departed yesterday to gather her people, and they were now en route.
Yun Lintian then directed his question to Yang Ningchang. "Do you have someone in mind?"
"Uncle Wu," Yang Ningchang answered readily. "With my departure approaching, I fear he'll be lonely. This role would be a perfect fit."
"Then let's find him," Yun Lintian declared, glancing at Lynn and the others. "Stay here, I'll be back shortly."
Lynn offered a gentle nod. "Go on."
With a wave of his hand, Yun Lintian vanished from the complex, taking Yang Ningchang, Linlin, and Qingqing with him.
Inside the Yang manor, Yang Shen and Yang Ningchang's grandfather, Yang Xuan, were engrossed in a discussion about the Zhu Tianlong incident. Yang Wu, Yang Ningchang's ever-
attentive butler, skillfully refilled their teacups.
"You may leave," Yang Shen instructed Yang Wu with a calm demeanor.
"Yes, sir," Yang Wu responded humbly, preparing to leave.
Suddenly, Yun Lintian and Yang Ningchang materialized in the courtyard. Their unexpected arrival sent a jolt of surprise through everyone present.
