Something Happened at Home

"Where's my car?" Ye Tian asked coldly.

He had already had Liu Xinglong tell Zhang Jian to bring his car over.

Yet Zhang Jian had come in the same Audi as yesterday.

Ye Tian was deeply displeased.

"Mr. Ye, Minister Zhang said your car disappeared two years ago."

Zhang Jian hurriedly explained.

Disappeared?

Ye Tian narrowed his eyes, a chill flashing through them.

It seemed Wang Ting must have been responsible.

But how could he, the Heaven-Stepping Immortal Emperor, allow anyone to lay hands on his belongings without permission?

Ye Tian called Liu Xinglong at once.

"Help me track down a car."

Ye Tian gave him the car's model and license plate number.

Then he turned to Zhang Jian.

"I'm going back to my hometown."

"I'm taking the car. Get a taxi back yourself!"

"Yes, Mr. Ye!" Zhang Jian hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Ye Tian's hometown was a village in Yunhai County, Jiangnan City.

As soon as the car entered the highway to the county seat, Ye Tian's heart began to race with excitement.

Although only two years had passed on Earth during Ye Tian's time in the Immortal Realm,

For Ye Tian, it had been a full thousand years since he had seen his parents and family.

He wondered how his parents and younger sister were doing.

At the thought of the loved ones he had missed day and night, Ye Tian longed to fly straight home like an arrow.

The car sped along, leaving the highway and entering Yunhai County's seat after an hour.

According to the information Liu Xinglong gave me about Brother Biao, Wang Biao of Yunhai County is highly suspicious.

Once I've seen my parents, I'll come to the county seat and find this Wang Biao.

Ye Tian didn't linger in the county seat. He drove straight to Ye Family Village.

The closer he got to home, the more anxious he became!

As soon as he entered the village and saw the familiar country lanes and farmland, Ye Tian's heart began to pound.

Even his breathing grew rapid.

His heart was filled with nervousness.

A thousand years of longing, a thousand years of waiting.

He had finally returned home and was finally about to see the parents he had missed day and night.

The car stopped in front of a neat, tidy two-story house.

Ye Tian got out and walked to the door.

He took several deep breaths before he managed to calm himself.

He raised his hand and knocked.

Soon, footsteps came from inside the courtyard.

Ye Tian's heart leaped into his throat.

Would it be Dad, Mom, or his little sister who opened the door?

After a thousand years apart, were they doing all right?

As the door opened, Ye Tian felt a fire blaze in his heart.

His eyes instantly filled with tears as he looked up.

But the next second, Ye Tian froze.

"Second Aunt?"

The person who had opened the door was none other than his second aunt, Du Ping.

Ye Tian knew his second aunt very well.

She was not only sharp-tongued and mean, but also a calculating person who never lifted a finger without something to gain.

She usually got along very badly with his parents.

Unless there was something in it for her, she rarely came to their home.

Why was she the one opening the door today?

Du Ping also froze for a moment when she saw Ye Tian. Then, her face full of surprise, she said,

"Little Tian?"

"Why are you back?"

"Didn't you die?"

Ye Tian frowned. Not bothering to explain, he said,

"That was a rumor."

With that, Ye Tian stepped forward to enter the courtyard.

But Du Ping blocked the doorway completely, refusing to let Ye Tian pass.

"Second Aunt, please move."

"I want to go home."

Ye Tian spoke patiently.

"Go home?"

A look of schadenfreude flashed in Du Ping's eyes as she said,

"Little Tian, you've come to the wrong place, then."

"This isn't your home anymore."

What?

Ye Tian frowned at once and said coldly,

"Second Aunt, this is the two-story house I built for my parents."

"How is it not my home?"

A smug look appeared on Du Ping's face as she said in a mocking tone,

"That's all ancient history."

"Your parents have already sold this house to me."

"This is my home now!"

Ye Tian's heart clenched, and he had a bad feeling.

He had left his parents plenty of money back then, enough for them to live without worrying about food or clothing.

They wouldn't have sold the house for no reason.

Could something have happened at home?

"Second Aunt, where are my parents?"

At that thought, Ye Tian grew anxious all at once.
