Chapter 1: Release
me out of prison recently. Doing this only makes others look down on you even more!”Chen Ping's second aunt spoke to Chen Ping earnestly and with concern."Aunt Two, I…………""Mom What are you talking abo..."I'm finally out…………"
Chen Ping breathed in the fresh air deeply and roared with all his might!
Behind Chen Ping stood Hongcheng Prison, where he had spent three whole years. Today, he was finally released after serving his sentence.
"Oh, I wonder how my parents are doing"
Chen Ping carried his worn canvas bag and hurried home. His parents had never visited him in the three years he'd been away, and now Chen Ping was very worried about them.
On his way home, Chen Ping kept examining the antique bronze ring on his finger!
The ring is engraved with a lifelike dragon, and there's a "king" character on its head!
This ring was given to him by his cellmate, Lao Longtou, when he was released from prison today.
This old geezer is a very strange person, always talking about the supernatural. He claims to be the master of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, knowing everything from astronomy to geography and mastering both magic and medicine. He says he can even bring people back from the dead!
Everyone considered the old man crazy and refused to pay him any mind. Only Chen Ping, who had nothing better to do, would chat with the old man occasionally and even give him some of his food.
Old Dragon Head told Chen Ping all sorts of strange and unusual things every day, like the Heavenly Dragon Hall and the Lock Dragon Island. Chen Ping had never heard of any of these things!
Later, the old man had Chen Ping accompany him in meditation and martial arts training every day. Chen Ping was bored, so he learned along with him!
But who would have thought, three years passed and Chen Ping had actually learned a set of skills and medical arts under that old man's tutelage!
Just as he was released from prison today, Old Dragon Head handed this ring to Chen Ping and told him that on the fifteenth day of July this year, no matter what, Chen Ping should go to Wuming Island in the East Sea. As long as he showed the ring on the island, someone would greet him, and at that time, Chen Ping would have a great opportunity.
Because he did learn a lot from the old master, Chen Ping believed him wholeheartedly and readily agreed. However, it was still several months until the fifteenth day of July.
Unknowingly, Chen Ping had already walked to his front door. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated house in front of him, Chen Ping's face was full of complexity. He didn't know how his parents were doing over the past three years. Because of his momentary impulse, his parents must have endured a lot of pressure!
Looking back three years, Chen Ping's eyes still flashed with anger!
Three years ago, Chen Ping and his girlfriend Geng Shanshan were already at the point of discussing marriage. The two were university classmates and had been dating for two years!
But one day on the night when they were sending Geng Shanshan home, the two of them ran into Xiao Lei who was drunk!
This Xiao Lei is notorious in Hongcheng as a rich second generation, having done all sorts of bad things!
When Xiao Lei saw Geng Shanshan's beauty, he developed evil intentions and began to molest her!
As the son of a prominent local tycoon, Xiao Lei didn't even glance at Chen Ping back then!
Seeing his girlfriend being insulted, Chen Ping went crazy!
Pick up a brick and smash it hard on Xiao Lei's head!
The result is obvious...
As a powerful figure, Xiao Lei would certainly not let this go. He immediately called the police and had Chen Ping arrested.
Sentenced to three years in prison for intentional injury!
It wasn't until today that Chen Ping was released.
After hesitating for a long time, Chen Ping gently knocked on the door!
"Who is it"
The door creaked open, and an elderly woman with white hair and a stooped figure peered out. One hand constantly reached forward, groping: "Who's there Who is knocking"
The old woman's eyes were closed, clearly unable to see. She was blind!
When Chen Ping saw the old woman before him, he was stunned. His eyes widened, and his whole body trembled slightly.
He couldn't believe his eyes. The white-haired, wrinkled old woman before him was actually his mother, Tang Hongying!
How could her own mother have changed so drastically in just three years
"Mom, it's me, Chen Ping!"
Chen Ping stepped forward to support his own mother, and shouted excitedly.
"Chen Ping Is it really you"
Tang Hongying's hands were on Chen Ping's face, tears streaming down her cheeks uncontrollably!
"Mom, it's me, it's me..."
Chen Ping's eyes also turned red: "Mom, what's wrong with you What happened"
Chen Ping didn't understand. When he left, his mother was perfectly fine. Why had she changed so drastically in just three years!
"Well, it's a long story. Let's get to the point!"
Tang Hongying pulled Chen Ping into the room!
Looking at the簡陋 的 room, almost empty, Chen Ping was dumbfounded!
Although their family wasn't wealthy, his father had a formal job, so they managed to live comfortably. But how could their home have fallen into such disrepair
"Mom, what happened at home"
Chen Ping, seeing the state of his home, chased after his mother and asked.
"Oh!" Tang Hongying sighed: "After you left…………"
Tang Hongying told everything in detail. It turned out that after Chen Ping was imprisoned, the Xiao family didn't let them go and even demanded one million yuan in compensation.
In the end, Chen Ping's parents sold his bridal house and borrowed a lot of money, but they still didn't have enough. Finally, they only had 300,000 yuan left, so they could only pay in installments to the Xiao family!
For this matter, Chen Ping's father lost his job and could only make a living by sweeping the streets, while his mother cried all day long, her eyes blinded by tears!
This is also the reason why Chen Ping served three years in prison, but his parents never visited him once.
Listening to his mother's account, Chen Ping slowly clenched his fist, a surge of murderous intent flashing in his eyes!
He didn't expect the Xiao family to be so ruthless. They were going to wipe them out completely!
"Mom, didn't Geng Shanshan take care of you at all"
Chen Ping asked, puzzled.
Then Geng Shanshan is his wife-to-be, and he went to prison for her. Geng Shanshan couldn't possibly remain indifferent to what's happening to her parents, right
"Oh, don't even mention it. Not only did the Geng family not help, but when we asked for our dowry back, they refused! They said that it wasn't their fault that the marriage didn't happen, it was because you went to prison, so they wouldn't return the dowry!"
“Your dad went to argue with them, and they beat him up and threw him out!”
Tang Hongying's heart ached more and more as she spoke, and finally tears came pouring out.. Chen...Mr. Chen, perhaps we shouldn't go any further..."Tang Dali trembled and said."What's wrong Were you frightened by a few shouts"Chen Ping saw Tang Dali like that and asked in confusion.Mr. Che...
