Evening.
Yin Yang rode his electric scooter like the wind, arriving at Yu Garden exactly on time to call the woman.
“Hello, is this Miss Li?”
“I'm from the flower shop. I've arrived at Yu Garden. Where should I deliver the flowers?”
“Wait for me a moment.”
“Alright.”
Yin Yang parked his scooter and stood at the entrance holding the flowers.
It took about five minutes before Miss Li walked out from inside.
She glanced at the bouquet and said, “Your aesthetic is a bit better than Aunt Yun's.”
“Thank you.”
Yin Yang accepted the compliment gracefully, then put on his helmet.
“If you need anything else, feel free to contact me at any time.”
Before Miss Li could respond, the electric scooter had already sped ten meters away.
...
Meng City Hospital.
“Director Li, there's a gentleman outside looking for you.”
“I'm not seeing anyone!”
Director Li pushed up his glasses, looking impatient.
In Meng City, if an important person wanted to see him, they would have called ahead. What kind of important person would come looking for him in person?
Since it wasn't someone important, seeing them wouldn't help him anyway, so why waste time?
“Alright, Director Li.”
The young nurse closed the office door and walked all the way to the information desk.
“I'm sorry, sir. Director Li is preparing for surgery and doesn't have time.”
“I see.”
The young man in front of her looked disappointed, then handed the bouquet in his hand to her.
“I had originally planned to thank Director Li in person. He was the one who performed my surgery back then.”
“But since he's busy, there's nothing to be done. Could I ask you to help me give this bouquet to Director Li?”
The nurse nodded repeatedly; it wasn't a big deal.
“Thank you, you're a very kind person.”
Yin Yang smiled and gave the young nurse a 'good person' compliment.
Then, as if by magic, he produced another flower and handed it to her.
“This is for you, thank you for your help.”
The nurse accepted the flower somewhat shyly and lowered her head to gently smell its fragrance. By the time she looked up again, Yin Yang had vanished.
...
Flower Shop.
After Yin Yang showered, he turned on the television, which was broadcasting the evening news.
“According to the latest news, the case of the Qi family massacre in Wang City has been solved. The culprit is the 【Shadow Lotus Church】.”
“We here at the station call upon everyone to cherish life and stay away from cults.”
“The following content was sent back from Wang City...”
Yin Yang watched with great interest and was very satisfied with the results of the investigation.
That was until a certain face appeared on the television.
“I would like to thank my teacher, Mr. Wang Gen. If he hadn't been patrolling nearby, those lawless cultists would have surely harmed more people.”
Wang Dong spoke eloquently on the television, and then the camera cut to that demigod.
Wang Gen!
The Bureau Chief of the Meng City Security Bureau.
“Fifteen years... he's aged a lot.”
Yin Yang dried his hair, a smile on his face.
‘I really didn't expect the demigod who rushed to the Qi family to be him.’
Yin Yang put the towel away and lay back into the sofa, completely relaxed.
Wang Gen looked solemn on the screen.
“Recently, cult activities have been somewhat rampant, but please rest assured, citizens—our Security Bureau will do its utmost to protect your safety!”
“I want to say something to the cultists watching this program: Don't reach out your hand, for if you do, you will be caught!”
The camera quickly cut away, returning to Wang Dong.
Yin Yang picked up the remote and changed the channel.
“Meow~”
Canned Food jumped over from the side, adjusted its posture, and lay on Yin Yang's lap.
Yin Yang idly flipped through the channels, but images from years ago surfaced in his mind.
“Put the child down!”
“Put him down!!!”
Back then, Wang Gen's hair was still black as he chased frantically through the alleys.
Yin Yang was being held in the arms of a burly man, weaving through twists and turns to evade the pursuit.
“You're just a security officer with such a small monthly salary, why are you risking your life?!”
“Do you know who wants this child? If you stop now, I guarantee you'll have two hundred thousand in your account tonight!”
The burly man shouted as he ran. If it weren't for his special transcendent item, he would have been caught by Wang Gen long ago.
“Who the hell do I know you are? Two hundred thousand? Why don't you give me your life instead?!”
“I'll say it one more time, put the child down!”
The burly man grit his teeth and ran even faster.
“Slay!”
Wang Gen roared as he swung his blade, the blade light sweeping across to cut at the man's ankles.
“Imperial Guard? You're not on the 【Ward Guard】 pathway!”
The man was struck with terror. The pendant on his wrist shattered with a pop, blocking the strike for him.
“Die!”
Wang Gen attacked again.
Whoosh.
Another figure appeared, effortlessly blocking the strike.
“Take the child and go.”
The person didn't even look back, meeting Wang Gen's attack after saying those words.
The wind howled in the alley. Yin Yang was taken to a van by the burly man and driven to a warehouse.
Once at the warehouse, those people didn't allow him to eat or drink anything.
Two days later, he saw two doctors wearing white coats.
One of them held a syringe and pushed all the liquid inside into his body.
Then, Yin Yang lost control of his body, while the voices of the two doctors echoed in his ears.
“It's not even a transplant. Who can't do this kind of harvesting? You don't even need to sew up the wound; a vet could handle it.”
“Alright, who cares? They're paying a lot. Just take some heart, liver, and kidneys. Two hundred thousand—how many surgeries would you have to do to earn that?”
“Sigh, I...”
“Don't be so sentimental. Do you know what two hundred thousand means? With this money, getting a promotion, a raise, and passing your professional title evaluation will be easy!”
“Sigh, let's go.”
...
The next day.
The flower shop had just opened when a young girl walked in.
“Huh? Where's Aunt Yun?”
Her voice was curious. Yin Yang was mopping the floor and smiled at her words.
“Aunt Yun went to enjoy life with her son. She sold the shop to me.”
“Are you buying flowers, Miss?”
“Uh, no. I bought a potted plant from Aunt Yun before, but it's not growing very well. I'm off today, so I wanted to ask Aunt Yun how to take care of it.”
“I see.”
Yin Yang put the mop aside and said, “What kind of plant did you buy? Do you have a recent photo?”
“I do, I do.”
The girl walked over with her phone and showed a photo to Yin Yang.
“Look, look. It's all wilting like this, but I've clearly been giving it sunlight and watering it every day.”
Yin Yang looked at the photo and said, “It's because you water it every day that its roots are starting to rot.”
“But it's not a big problem; its recovery power is very strong. Move it to a sunny spot and leave it alone. Just water it about once every half-month.”
“Ah? It's that simple?”
“That's right.”
Yin Yang shrugged, indicating it was a minor issue, then continued mopping.
“Boss, you're incredible.”
“Read more books, and you can be too.”
“Read books? Reading is so boring.”
“How can that be? Reading is quite interesting.”
