Reborn as the Strongest Immortal Cultivator in Modern Times

On her way down the mountain, she avoided those who were still fighting, not wanting to waste time, so she arrived at the bottom of the mountain before the time she had agreed to meet He Qiuzhi.

She looked north and saw a dilapidated tower there, so she started walking towards it.

She stopped in front of the tower, checked her location again, and then walked two kilometers west. There she saw the large banyan tree that He Qiuzhi had described, but there was no one there.

Ye Yu wasn't in a hurry. She casually found a place to sit down, took out the food she had prepared earlier from her storage ring, and began to eat slowly.

After Ye Yu finished eating, she checked the time and realized that half an hour had passed since the agreed time. She figured He Qiuzhi probably wouldn't be coming.

Ye Yu sighed, lamenting the loss of so many gold bars and jade.

Just as they were about to leave, two people emerged from the woods in the distance, one of whom was He Qiuzhi.

As the two approached, Ye Yu noticed how disheveled they were. He Qiuzhi's hair was disheveled and draped over her shoulders, there was blood at the corner of her mouth, and she had wounds on her legs.

Seeing Ye Yu still waiting there, she was somewhat surprised and delighted, saying, "I thought you had already left."

"I was about to leave." Ye Yu didn't intend to ask where she had gone or what she had done, and simply replied calmly.

“Luckily we made it in time.” He Qiuzhi introduced the man next to her: “This is my lover, Li Hui. You can call him Brother Hui if you don’t mind.”

Li Hui was tall and muscular, with a buzz cut. However, he was also injured, bleeding from one side of his abdomen.

After the introduction, Li Hui greeted Ye Yu with a smile.

Ye Yu nodded to him as well, but thought to herself, "Ah Peng even went to find He Qiuzhi, but he didn't expect that she already had a lover. It really proves the saying that a simp will end up with nothing. It's a true saying!"

Li Hui and He Qiuzhi didn't waste any time. They went behind the banyan tree, cleared away the fallen leaves piled on the ground, and removed the branches, revealing a mountain off-road vehicle.

She called out to Ye Yu and told her to get in the car.

Li Hui took out the first-aid kit from the car and treated He Qiuzhi's wounds first. He Qiuzhi then treated Li Hui's wounds.

The two handled it quickly, clearly skilled. Once everything was ready, Li Hui stepped on the gas and sped off.

In the car, He Qiuzhi told Ye Yu about their plan, taking advantage of the fact that her ex-husband Hu Hong was still outside and there were fewer guards at the villa than usual.

After they arrived, Li Hui led the others away, while He Qiuzhi and Ye Yu took the opportunity to slip into the villa. There would definitely be people left behind at the villa, and Ye Yu would be responsible for getting rid of them.

After He Qiuzhi finds her daughter, she will have difficulty moving around while carrying her daughter, so Ye Yu will have to go out of the villa with them to meet up with Li Hui.

Ye Yu nodded after hearing this: "No problem."

He Qiuzhi handed Ye Yu a pistol, but Ye Yu shook his head and didn't take it.

He Qiuzhi suddenly realized that the steel ball Ye Yu casually threw was more powerful than a bullet fired from a gun, and it was also silent, making it even more useful than a gun.

Thinking of this, she put the gun away.

After driving for about an hour, Li Hui parked the car in a patch of grass and used tree branches to cover it.

He Qiuzhi led Ye Yu forward, saying as they walked, "Hu Hong's villa is three kilometers ahead. He's a cautious person, and there are guards two kilometers away from the villa."

Li Hui caught up, carrying a machine gun in one arm and giving He Qiuzhi a tight hug with the other, saying, "Be careful." Then he ran forward.

He Qiuzhi smiled gently: "Li Hui was the head of one of my family's branches back then. The Leopard Gang was originally founded by my parents, but after I married Hu Hong, my father gradually stepped back from the scene. Later, I became pregnant and gave birth to Yin Yin. I found that when she was three years old, she was still like a baby. She could only cry when she was hungry, she couldn't speak, and she didn't know anything."

"So I focused all my attention on Yin Yin. Who knew that Hu Hong was just pretending all along? He first plotted to kill my father and eliminate those who were loyal to me and my father. By the time I realized something was wrong, it was too late."

"Hu Hong imprisoned me and Yin Yin. He was going to kill me, but he didn't do it for the time being because he wanted to know the password to the vault."

“Until one day, the old housekeeper managed to tell me that my father was not dead, but was seriously injured. I was extremely anxious and escaped with the help of the old housekeeper and Li Hui. However, because taking Yin Yin with me would arouse suspicion, I left her there.”

"Aren't you afraid that Hu Hong will harm Yin Yin?" Ye Yu asked with some doubt.

“He won’t. Even tigers don’t eat their cubs. Besides, Yinyin is his first child. She’s cute and adorable, and he loved her for a while. When I left, I told him the vault password to distract him. At most… at most, I won’t take care of Yinyin anymore.” He Qiuzhi herself sounded somewhat hesitant.

Ye Yu listened silently, inwardly criticizing He Qiuzhi's actions, but since everyone has different considerations, she didn't say anything. She could only describe He Qiuzhi as someone who was "love-struck and digging for wild vegetables," as her classmates had said before.

Gunshots rang out in the distance, indicating that Li Hui had begun his operation. Ye Yu and the other exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.

Upon arriving at the patrol point, only a dozen or so people remained on the ground, with two more standing at the makeshift outpost.

Ye Yu threw a steel ball and took care of the dozen or so men below, while He Qiuzhi aimed at the outpost and killed the man there as well.

After clearing the obstacles, He Qiuzhi led Ye Yu around to the back of the villa. Ye Yu killed everyone they encountered along the way without alerting anyone. They came to a crooked tree. He Qiuzhi climbed up the tree, jumped onto the wall, and then jumped down after seeing Ye Yu following her.

Ye Yu had just told He Qiuzhi that it would be fine to just walk in through the main gate. But He Qiuzhi looked worried; she was afraid her daughter would be frightened by the gunshots, so the two of them sneaked in.

They walked to a window, climbed over it, and entered a storage room.

He Qiuzhi opened the door a crack and just happened to see the people patrolling the corridor. She gestured to Ye Yu.

Just as the two patrolmen brushed past each other back to back, they suddenly pulled open the door and snapped their necks one by one.

They moved the body to the storage room and went upstairs.

Yinyin's room is on the fifth floor, next to which is a nanny's room where she usually takes care of Yinyin.

Ye Yu walked ahead, killing off the guards on each floor before successfully arriving at Yin Yin's room.

The door was locked, but faint crying could be heard coming from inside. Ye Yu grabbed the doorknob and pulled hard, and the entire lock came off.

He Qiuzhi couldn't wait to push open the door. When she saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened in anger. She took a few steps forward and kicked a woman dressed as a Filipino maid.

A very thin little girl was lying on the ground, and even her cries were very faint.

He Qiuzhi carefully picked up the child lying on the ground. Seeing the needle marks all over her body and the burn scars on her feet and legs, tears welled up in her eyes, and she kept saying sorry.

Seeing the girl's pale face, frail appearance, and delicate skin covered in needle marks and burns, Ye Yu asked He Qiuzhi, "Did you manage to get the herbs?"

He Qiuzhi nodded, then shook her head and said, "We ambushed near the exit and tried to take advantage of the situation, but we only managed to grab two leaves. We don't know if they'll be of any use."

Ye Yu thought to herself with certainty, "Of course it's useful. Two pieces are enough for such a small child."

The Filipino maid, who had been kicked, opened her mouth to scream after realizing what had happened, but Ye Yu stepped forward and silenced her by pressing her pressure point. She then turned to Ye Yu and asked, "How do you plan to deal with her treating your daughter like this?"

He Qiuzhi glared fiercely at the Filipino maid: "If it weren't for the urgency, I would have made her suffer the same pain my daughter endured."

Ye Yu leaned against the wall and said indifferently, "She can't make a sound right now, and Yin Yin has been found. We have plenty of time for you to avenge Yin Yin."

Upon hearing this, He Qiuzhi gently placed Yinyin on the bed, took two steps to the Filipino maid, pulled out a needle from the needle case, and stabbed her.

The Filipino maid was in so much pain that snot and tears streamed down her face. She struggled on the ground and soon fainted from the pain.

He Qiuzhi used her arm to sever the tendons in her hands and feet, picked up her daughter from the bed, and wrapped her in a small blanket.

Ye Yu asked, "Are you just going to let her go like that?"

He Qiuzhi nodded, holding the child: "Let her watch herself bleed to death. Besides, we still need to go to Hu Hong's study, we can't delay any longer."

Ye Yu nodded, and the two left the room.
