383 Prelude to the Past
“Fortunately, you appeared.” Yuan Yi’s eyes were filled with relief.
He smiled and repeated, “You appeared. You suit all of Qingqing’s personality needs and have enough strength to protect her! Actually, I’ve always been quite satisfied with you! I can’t imagine what Qingqing’s other half would be like if it wasn’t someone like you.”
Yuan Yi seemed to be a little drunk. The words in his mouth were a little incoherent, but this did not stop Huo Qi from understanding what he meant!
“Sometimes, fate is really a magical thing! I didn’t believe in these things in the past, but now I’m willing to believe it. The relationship between Qingqing and you is a fate created by the heavens! A moment earlier or later, you wouldn’t have met, let alone the series of events that happened after that!”
Huo Qi didn’t expect Yuan Yi to have such a high evaluation of him.
Perhaps it was because Yuan Yi really doted on and pitied Su Qing, his disciple. He seemed to be especially tolerant and loving towards those who could appear in Su Qing’s life and warm and heal her!
This was the deep fatherly love that could not be seen from Su Zheng, who was her biological father. This explained why Su Qing liked Yuan Yi so much. Love was mutual. Only by giving would one be rewarded.
“I’ve told you so much before, so don’t blame me for nagging. Actually, I’m really grateful to the heavens for giving our Qingqing a chance to start over! Now, it’s indeed time to be honest with you!”
As Yuan Yi spoke, he put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Huo Qi with a solemn expression.
Of course, Huo Qi wouldn’t mind Yuan Yi being long-winded. He couldn’t wait to hear more about Su Qing. He composed himself and sat up straight, then he looked at Yuan Yi and said in a solemn voice, “Speak, Master.”
Yuan Yi retracted his gaze from Huo Qi and sighed deeply. Then, he slowly said, “Actually, it’s a long story! Forty years ago, the region around Namphan was a hell on earth that no one dared to interfere in. It was mixed with good and bad people, and it was filled with evil! Drugs were rampant there, and the firearms business was even more profitable!”
“Actually, that place’s water terrain is superior to the outside world. If any capable politician at that time had taken notice of it, it could have become the next major port! But because there was too little communication with the inland! The people inside don’t want to come out, and the people outside can’t enter! It’s an innately isolated place. If people don’t move around and mature, and undergo education by the government, there would be terrible consequences!” Yuan Yi sighed heavily. Although he had a strange temper sometimes, he was still a kind-hearted doctor!
Looking at the second master, who had a worried expression and his eyes were filled with memories, Huo Qi frowned slightly. Although he didn’t understand what Yuan Yi’s words had to do with Qingqing’s background, he already had some guesses. However, he didn’t dare to think too deeply about it.
“Drugs have eroded and destroyed the physique of the Namphan natives. The lack of information and the weak educational infrastructure have made it even more difficult for them to break free from such a nightmare! Where there are drugs, violence will definitely be born. The underground gun manufacturing will begin to sprout in this place! Following that, the rise of even more evil killer cultivation organizations!”
When Yuan Yi said this last sentence, his eyes flashed with deep disgust. It was as if he hated these so-called organizations to the core!
Yuan Yi looked at Huo Qi and suddenly asked him, “Do you know about the infamous child trafficking case that shocked the entire Country Z 10 years ago?”
Huo Qi saw the sorrow in Yuan Yi’s eyes and swallowed. He nodded silently and said hoarsely, “I know. The child trafficking case done by the Namphan criminal group involves the abduction and killing of tens of thousands of children. It’s a vicious case that shocked Country Z and even the world!”
As Huo Qi spoke, his mind began to work crazily. He recalled the case that Yuan Yi suddenly mentioned and began to mutter to himself, “This case involves a large territory, too many people, and its nature is too bad. When it was exposed, it seemed to have been immediately suppressed by the government!”
