System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Hmm, what happened?" Chen Xuan nodded.

"Taoist Master, let me show you these first." Sun Yao said as she walked into a dilapidated little house that was almost drafty on all sides.

The room was almost completely furnished.

Yet, despite its dilapidated state, unlike the homes of the homeless, the walls of this house are covered with various certificates of honor.

First, there are certificates of merit for each grade, nine out of ten of which are first prizes. In junior and senior high school, there are honorary certificates for various academic competitions. In university, there are not only such awards, but also various advanced honorary certificates and certificates for various volunteers.

Sun Yao held her phone, taking pictures of the wall while simultaneously bursting into tears.

"Master, you've seen for yourself what kind of person Xiaofeng is."

“I met him in college. He is optimistic and positive, and he volunteers whenever he has time. His father is a fruit farmer in eastern Sichuan. He lost his mother when he was young, but he never brings his negative emotions to outsiders like me. I was deeply attracted by his personality.”

Sun Yao's face is the kind that has a broad forehead, a smooth hairline, long and unbroken eyebrows, bright and spirited eyes, a firm bridge of the nose, a fleshy tip that doesn't look hollow, and prominent cheekbones. At first glance, she is a child from a wealthy family who has been blessed by her ancestors.

These kinds of girls are usually opinionated, determined in their actions, and once they've made up their minds, they won't be easily swayed; they're the kind of people who will see things through to the end.

"During his four years of university, he planned his job well in advance and even spent four years preparing for it."

As Sun Yao spoke, tears streamed down her face. "My uncle is a fruit farmer, and he used to be an advanced fruit farmer team leader. He is a very respected person in the area. We got our parents' approval, and we are working together to move forward on the road to happiness."

"One day, Xiaofeng's cousin called him and said that he had found a new variety of apple in Yunnan. The taste of the apples there was absolutely superior to the domestic varieties. However, there were many people vying for them. He said that if Xiaofeng was interested, he should bring funds to come and see for himself, and he would help him out."

“When Xiaofeng told me about it, I hesitated. But that cousin was one of the few people who shared Xiaofeng’s interests. During college, Xiaofeng also went to his cousin’s orchard to learn many times. The two families had a very good relationship.”

"After much hesitation, I finally agreed to let Xiaofeng go to Yunnan. I hope he can bring back even better fruit seedlings."

Sun Yao broke down in tears again as she spoke.

“But when we got there, Xiaofeng sent me a video, saying that his cousin wanted to treat him, and that we would go out for dinner tonight, play in Yunnan for a few days, and then go to see the fruit seedling cultivation base.”

"But I never expected that three days later, I would no longer be able to get through to Xiaofeng on the phone. I was so anxious that I was going crazy, and I didn't dare to tell my uncle about it."

"I waited anxiously, and even reported the incident to the local government in Yunnan, but there was still no response."

Sun Yao slowly closed her eyes as she spoke, "A week later, I received video footage from Xiaofeng on WeChat. When I saw Xiaofeng's face was ashen, his eyes were dull, his skin was purplish-red from the electric shock, and he kept screaming, calling for his mother, his mother..."

"My heart is broken, I broke down crying. Why did this happen? Xiaofeng was so optimistic, so kind, why did this happen?"

"After I burst into tears, I quickly calmed myself down and asked if it was a kidnapping, how much money they wanted, and that I just wanted my safety guaranteed."

"They immediately asked for 50!"

“50? Xiaofeng took 20 with him when he went to Yunnan, and another 50... I could only lie to my uncle and take 20 from him. Then I borrowed another 30 from my parents.”

"I transferred the money to a domestic account and sent a video of the payment... to Xiaofeng's WeChat account..."

At this point, Sun Yao covered her face and burst into tears. "I thought they would let Xiaofeng go after I took the money, but... the reply I received was that if I paid another 30 yuan, they would let Xiaofeng go immediately."
