Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Yu Ru realized that she was probably hallucinating.

She was most afraid of this feeling, but there was nothing she could do about it, because she had done that.

She hired someone to kill Liu Wei's family. Each head cost one million yuan. Killing their family almost used up all her savings, even the life-saving money she left for her family, a total of three million yuan.

She is now bankrupt, and if she wants to spend big money, she can only spend money from Yunjixing. Yunjixing gives her 7 million in pocket money every month, and also gives her a secondary black card, which allows her to spend without any limit.

However, she wanted to save the money for future use. After all, she was not penniless yet. If she held on a little longer, she would have money by next month.

Her current monthly income is stable at around 600,000 yuan. This month, she estimates that she can earn around 900,000 yuan. In a few days, she will have her own money.

If Liu Wei had not colluded with the enemy and committed treason, he would not have deserved the death penalty. She emptied the family's assets and even hired someone to kill his entire family.

There is no way, he just did it, and he did so many bad things. The whole family is the same, the older one breaks the law, the younger one bullies other children at school, and his behavior is also bad.

Their family was the bait, and more than twenty people suspected of the same crime were implicated. According to Yun Jixing, almost half of the people in the police station have been arrested. What they did was too bad, and they will probably all go to jail, and some will probably be executed.

Yu Ru didn't understand why they did that. Sometimes people's thoughts were really bizarre and weird. They always liked to make trouble for no reason. Why would they want to help others harm their own country?

Ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, ancient India, and ancient China, once the four great ancient civilizations, were four pearls that illuminated human civilization. As time passed, the four ancient countries took completely different paths.

Egypt, a country so ancient that it is hazy and mysterious, had already started agricultural civilization in the Nile River Basin more than 9,000 years ago, and the earliest solar calendar in human history was created by the ancient Egyptians more than 4,000 years ago. This country, which had been brilliant in astronomy, religion, and architecture, was invaded by many countries such as Rome, Persia, and Greece, and various natural factors. In the end, it could only let the towering pyramids in the yellow sand tell the world about its former glory; the romantic and elegant ancient Babylonian civilization now only exists in "legends". To understand it, you have to spend some time to unveil the mysterious veil of Mesopotamia; ancient India, a country of wisdom and magic, the Arabic numerals used in the world are the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient Indians, but today when people talk about India, it seems that the only thing they think of is the hand-grabbed food that makes people hesitate.

China, as one of the four ancient countries, has always stood in the east of the world. Even though the world situation is ever-changing, it remains unshakable.

How proud I am to be a Chinese! China has produced so many brilliant cultures on its own, which have a significant impact on the whole world. I am so lucky and honored to be born in China, where the motherland can "rise from the cold ashes and bloom on the dead wood". It is so strong that it is frightening, yet so soft that it is unparalleled. No matter how other countries invade, China will still stick to the good path and will never harm any innocent life. China is so incredible, like a myth. Even though it has suffered thousands of hardships and been attacked by many people, its culture and civilization still have not been broken, and it is even being carried forward well.

So, Yu Ru couldn’t understand what Liu Wei was thinking.

Yu Ru was actually a little afraid of blood, and was also a little scared when she saw the photo of Liu Wei's family being shot in the head. She felt that she needed to be exposed to some popularity.

So she tiptoed to Ming Shisui's room.

Ming Shisui hadn't woken up yet, she was still sleeping wildly, with her arms and legs sticking out of the quilt. Yu Ru quietly walked over to tuck her in, then went downstairs to look for Yun Jixing.

Yun Jixing was awake and was setting up breakfast in the restaurant.

Yu Ru walked silently, sometimes like a ghost. She walked in front of Yun Jixing and waited for a shadow to appear in front of him before he noticed Yu Ru's arrival.

"Aru." He was obviously very happy. "Aru, I was just about to send you a message when you came. Have you washed up? Come and have breakfast."

Yu Ru smiled and nodded.

After breakfast, Yun Jixing hugged Yu Ru and kissed her face, said goodbye to her, and prepared to go to work at the company.

Yu Ru let him hug her, then she suddenly pushed him away and asked in sign language, "Are you afraid of blood?"

Yun Jixing was slightly stunned and shook his head, "I'm not afraid, what's wrong?"

Yu Ru stared into his eyes for a while, then gestured, "I have a friend in the United States. She said she saw an attack and took a photo for me. I think the person in the photo is Liu Wei."

After demonstrating, she took out the photo saved in her mobile phone and showed it to Yun Jixing.

This photo is bloody, and there is indeed a lot of blood, but it doesn't seem that bloody. Liu Wei's family was not tortured. Each person was shot and killed, and except for a small hole in the head, there was no damage to the rest of his body.

The photo surprised Yun Jixing a little. In fact, he had already planned to find someone to assassinate Liu Wei after he fled abroad. He didn't expect that someone had done it before him.

After seeing the photo clearly, he pressed the power button on Yu Ru's phone to turn off the screen, then reached out his arms to hug her.

"Aru, I understand. I'll stay at home with you today."

Yu Ru gently pushed him away and said, "I'm fine. I just wanted to show you around. Go back to work."

Yun Jixing hugged Yu Ru again, "It's okay, I'll stay with you. Since we've been together, I've really spent less time with you. There's actually nothing to do today, so I'll just stay with you at home. Don't worry, it won't interfere with your work. I don't have to discuss every project, and I don't have to attend every meeting. Although Liu Wei may be dead now, the people involved with him have not been completely identified, and I also want to spend more time with you. I won't feel relieved until I'm completely sure where Liu Wei is."

Where is it? Maybe it's in a tomb robber's backpack, or maybe it's used as a teaching aid in a medical school.

Yu Ru thought silently.

She couldn't say such words, so she just nodded.

One month later,

On a path in India, a man with thick eyebrows, big eyes, slightly curly hair and a large backpack was waiting for the bus to arrive by the roadside.

He was a broker, and the things in his backpack were the items he wanted to trade. They contained some bones, and they were exactly some bones of Liu Wei's family. After going around in circles, they ended up in the hands of this broker.

They will be sent to a Tibetan Buddhist family in a South Asian country. There is a high possibility that their skulls will be made into Dharma bowls, their tibias will be made into flutes, and their thigh bones will be made into trumpets.

For this family without any reverence, perhaps being made into a ritual instrument for others to use for prayers and chanting scriptures day and night is a kind of salvation.

However, this piety seems to be mixed with another kind of sin.
