Chapter 38 Heartbreaking News
And so, the peaceful and tranquil time lasted for three days.
However, the weather hasn't been very good these past few days.
The sky was overcast, with dark clouds covering the ground every day. A light drizzle was falling outside, and the whole city was shrouded in mist.
Since ancient times, the Jiangnan region has been shrouded in mist and rain during the spring and summer seasons, creating a picturesque and poetic atmosphere.
However, the sky was unusually dark today.
Soon, three days had passed.
Before Yun Chen could send a telepathic message to Chen Beifeng, Chen Beifeng proactively dialed Yun Chen's number and sent him all the information he had gathered.
Chen Beifeng was helpless and dragged it out for three days before he dared to send all the compiled information to Yun Chen without missing any details, because he knew how terrifying Yun Chen was. Such a master of immortality could only be befriended and should never be offended.
After sending out the information, he thought to himself that all the prominent families in Jiangnan who had been involved in that incident back then should prepare to face Yun Chen's wrath.
He can't protect these people now that this has happened!
Not only is he unable to manage it, but even the highest levels of the entire Xia Kingdom are powerless to intervene!
As the saying goes, if you don't court death, you won't die!
If those guys had restrained themselves back then, things wouldn't have turned out this way, especially those martial arts families.
In Qixia Residential Area, the sky was just beginning to lighten.
Yun Chen sat at his desk, turned on his computer, checked his email, and read through all the documents Chen Beifeng had sent him.
Gradually, he began to tremble, especially when he saw one of the victim lists. He froze, his eyes widening in disbelief at the truth he was seeing.
"No……"
"This can't be! This can't be real!"
At this moment, his Dao heart showed signs of collapse.
The next second, Yun Chen was struck as if by lightning. He collapsed to the ground, feeling dizzy and as if he had fallen into an abyss. His vision went black, his eyes were vacant, and all his energy seemed to have been drained away.
He absolutely could not accept this outcome!
One of the documents was a list of victims, showing hundreds of people killed, and his parents, Yun Chuan and Xu Ya, were prominently listed among them, both confirmed to have perished.
About two years ago, a momentous event occurred in the martial arts world of Jiangnan.
In the Xianyou Mountains of the Jiangnan region, a rare treasure was born, and strange phenomena appeared, with nine-colored rays of light blooming for three days and three nights.
This news caused a sensation not only throughout the martial arts world, but also prompted the reclusive ancient cultivation world to send out their immortal masters.
In the struggle for the treasures of heaven and earth, powerful figures from all walks of life in the martial arts world, the extraordinary world from abroad, and Qi cultivators from the ancient cultivation world engaged in a chaotic battle. The battle had a wide-ranging impact, even triggering a magnitude 9 earthquake, which destroyed several villages and towns, and countless ordinary people lost their lives in this chaotic battle.
Chen Beifeng investigated and found out the whole story.
He witnessed this event firsthand back then.
However, he did not participate in the great battle. Instead, he led his army to seal off the area where the fighting was taking place, ensuring the safety of ordinary people in the Xia Kingdom. He also used nuclear weapons to deter and warn those martial artists and Qi cultivators that they could fight for the treasures of heaven and earth, but anyone who dared to cross the line and harm ordinary people would not be blamed for his strong use of nuclear weapons to kill them!
However, even so.
Many places still suffered, and countless people lost their lives. Some died from earthquakes, some from flash floods, and some were buried alive by collapsed mountains. Many ordinary people died in this natural disaster and man-made calamity.
Most of the victims didn't even leave behind any remains.
Upon seeing these messages, Yun Chen collapsed to the ground for a long time, trembling all over, unable to believe it.
"No, it can't be true..."
At this moment, Yun Chen's Dao heart trembled and shattered. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staining his clothes red. He looked pitiful, like a helpless child, slumped on the ground, listless and dejected, as if his soul had left his body. His eyes were unfocused, and he kept calling out, "Dad, Mom!"
After disappearing for three years, he finally returned.
My wife and children are still alive.
The wife's parents are still alive.
But his parents are gone.
In his mind, he kept recalling the scenes of his past with his parents, all of which were very beautiful times.
He and Qin Xi grew up in a wonderful family environment, showered with care and pampering from their parents. Their lives were on track, but their parents suffered an accident while searching for him after his disappearance.
At this moment, Yun Chen couldn't stop crying.
He couldn't believe that he had finally returned home, only to be separated from his parents forever!
I didn't even get to see him one last time.
He couldn't accept this fact!
Yun Chen choked back sobs, his vision blurred by tears. Memories of his parents flooded his mind. He remembered his father's sometimes serious, sometimes quirky and funny appearance, and his mother's gentle, beautiful, and caring face.
Tears streamed down my face without my noticing.
Yun Chen's sorrow was unstoppable.
In the study, Yun Chen slumped to the floor, utterly dejected.
Two or three hours later, his wife Qin Xi came in. When she saw this scene, she panicked and rushed forward to hug Yun Chen.
"Honey, what's wrong?!"
At this moment, Qin Xi was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Yun Chen's clothes were stained red with blood.
Qin Xi knelt down, hugged Yun Chen, her face full of unease. She had never seen Yun Chen like this since he returned.
Holding Qin Xi, Yun Chen still looked utterly lost and dejected. His face was completely bloodless, his eyes were vacant, his lips were slightly parted, and his expression was stiff, filled with endless sorrow.
Qin Xi's face paled, and she was almost in tears. She hugged Yun Chen tightly, her eyes brimming with tears, and cried out with worry, "Husband, what's wrong? Don't scare me!!"
It took Yun Chen a long time to recover from his grief. He gently wiped the tears from Qin Xi's face and said, "Wife... my parents are very likely... dead!"
Yun Chen looked into Qin Xi's eyes and said those words earnestly, his voice overflowing with intense sorrow that was suffocating.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xi was stunned. Her mind went blank for a moment. Her pink lips parted slightly, her face filled with disbelief, and then her eyes gradually filled with tears.
She hugged Yunchen tightly, speechless for a moment, overwhelmed by a deep sorrow. Yunchen's parents were also her closest relatives. She held Yunchen close, tears streaming down her face.
"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?!"
It wasn't until Xiao Yaoyao appeared that the two looked at each other, wiped away each other's tears, and concealed their grief.
A gentle immortal flame automatically ignited on Yun Chen's body, purifying the blood that had just stained his clothes.
Outside the study door, little Yao Yao peeked out, looking at her parents kneeling on the ground, embracing tightly, her clear and bright eyes filled with curiosity.
Then, Yun Chen and Qin Xi quickly got up, went to the door, and picked up little Yao Yao: "Baby, Daddy and Mommy are alright!"
Qin Xi gently stroked Xiao Yaoyao's head, forcing a smile. The sadness and heaviness in her heart made it hard for her to breathe; her chest felt tight, and she felt suffocated. She couldn't believe it would end like this.
Outside, the sky was suddenly filled with a dramatic change of weather, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and a fierce wind raging. Early in the morning, a thick layer of dark clouds covered the entire city of Suzhou, and large raindrops began to fall from the sky.
Boom!
Thunder roared and lightning flashed across the sky!
The couple were clearly filled with sadness. After playing with little Yao Yao for a while, they sent her to find her maternal grandparents.
The weather was bad, so the whole family stayed home.
Yun Chen and Qin Xi entered the bedroom and locked the door.
"Waaah, honey... how could this happen!"
Qin Xi choked up, unable to control her emotions any longer. She threw herself into Yun Chen's arms and cried, not daring to cry too loudly for fear of attracting the attention of Qin Hong and Su Lan.
She couldn't believe it would turn out this way.
After Yun Chen disappeared, his parents came to the south and never gave up looking for him. During this time, they maintained contact with Qin Hong and Su Lan until they completely lost contact with him two years ago.
The family had reported the case to the police long ago, but they had not received any results and had never forgotten about it.
