It's him! It's that woman's son!

While Ning Wangshu was focused on reviewing...

At this moment, Xu Yiming wore a face full of worry.

"Dad, I really can't remember who I've offended!"

Xu Yiming looked at his father Xu Shengchuan and said helplessly.

Xu Shengchuan pinched his brow, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Since you can't remember, I'll have to find that Old Lin again and ask if he knows any more formidable experts."

"To see if he can help break the curse seal inside your body..."

Since his own life was at stake, Xu Yiming quickly said, "Dad, then call Old Lin right away!"

He hadn't believed in such things before, but after what happened the night before last, he had no choice but to believe.

"Hmm!"

Xu Shengchuan nodded, immediately picked up his phone, and dialed Lin Anguo's number.

"Hello, Old Lin, it's Little Xu! Sorry to bother you, but it's still about my son. I wanted to ask if you know any more formidable experts?"

On the other end, Lin Anguo heard Xu Shengchuan's words and couldn't help but say, "Boss Xu, let me put it this way—there are certainly experts in this world more formidable than me."

"But every single one of them is a figure on the level of Mount Tai and the Big Dipper in the Cultivation World. Not to mention you, even I find it extremely difficult to seek an audience with them."

"As for your son's matter... to be frank, you'd be better off finding out who placed the curse seal on him as quickly as possible."

"Otherwise, even if those more formidable than me were willing to see you, there's no telling if there'd be enough time."

"Moreover, if they discover that the curse seal on your son was likely placed by a peer-level expert, whether they'd be willing to risk offending that person by intervening is also uncertain."

"Alright, Boss Xu, I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't say more..."

With that, Lin Anguo hung up the phone directly.

Listening to the busy tone, Xu Shengchuan furrowed his brows. He could clearly tell that Lin Anguo had no desire to get involved in this matter any further.

Besides, what Lin Anguo said was true.

Back then, he had put in a great deal of effort just to get in touch with Lin Anguo. How could it be easy to make connections with someone even more powerful than Lin Anguo now?

"Dad, what happened? What did Old Lin say?"

Xu Yiming saw his father's brows tightly knit and quickly asked.

Xu Shengchuan let out a light sigh, shook his head, and said, "No luck. Old Lin still suggests we find the person who placed the curse seal on you and beg them to remove it."

"Then... what do we do? I've been thinking for two whole days, and I really can't figure out who I've offended or offended. The only person I can think of is that woman I ran over."

"But you know her situation perfectly well—there's no way it could be related to her..."

Xu Yiming said bitterly.

Xu Shengchuan thought for a moment and said, "Keep thinking carefully!"

"If you've ruled out every possibility, then the most unlikely possibility might just be the truth! I'll have someone look into that woman's background more thoroughly later and see if we find anything."

"Alright!"

Xu Yiming said helplessly.

"Hmm."

Xu Shengchuan nodded and added, "Well, it's getting late. Go to your room and rest."

"Okay, Dad!"

Xu Yiming acknowledged and immediately returned to his room.

It was already late at night.

After returning to his room, Xu Yiming was still racking his brains over who he might have offended or slighted recently.

But no matter how hard he tried, he simply couldn't remember.

Just then, Xu Yiming's body suddenly jolted. A sharp pain struck his chest, making him feel as though ten thousand ants were gnawing at his heart!

The intense agony caused Xu Yiming's entire body to convulse instantly. His eyes bulged wide, veins bulged on his skin, and cold sweat poured from him!

He tried to open his mouth to scream in pain, but found that he couldn't make a sound no matter what, nor could he move even an inch. This filled Xu Yiming with utter terror.

"Could it be... that the curse seal inside my body is acting up?"

The thought flashed through his mind.

But soon, he felt as though something had shattered in his mind, and a memory suddenly surged forth...

"It's him! It's that woman's son! I remember!"

Xu Yiming roared inwardly.

He finally recalled everything!

He remembered that "demon"-like young man, remembered the words that young man had spoken to him, remembered that it was he who had driven the curse seal into his body and sealed away that part of his memory...

At this moment, Xu Yiming's heart was filled with regret!

But even more than that, it was fear of death. The pain of Ten Thousand Ants Gnawing at the Heart within his body twisted his entire face, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably.

He struggled desperately, but it was all in vain...

The next morning.

"Sister Fang, hasn't Yiming gotten up yet?"

Xu Shengchuan came to the dining room after washing up, ready to eat breakfast. Seeing Xu Yiming absent, he couldn't help asking the maid.

Sister Fang quickly said, "Master, I haven't seen the young master come out of his room since I got up."

Xu Shengchuan frowned. "It's past eight o'clock, why isn't he up yet? Sister Fang, go call Yiming."

"Yes, Master."

Sister Fang acknowledged and hurried to Xu Yiming's room.

Meanwhile, Xu Shengchuan picked up a bowl of millet porridge and began drinking it on his own.

Just then, a sudden scream rang out. Xu Shengchuan was startled and instinctively looked up. Immediately after, he saw Sister Fang rushing over in a panic.

"Master, something's wrong! The young master, the young master seems... anyway, You'd better go see for yourself!"

Xu Shengchuan's heart tightened. He quickly got up and ran to Xu Yiming's room.

When he saw Xu Yiming staring wide-eyed with bulging eyes, his face twisted in pain, his body stiff and lying motionless on the bed, he stumbled and nearly fell.

"Yiming! Yiming—"

Xu Shengchuan rushed forward in panic, shouting Xu Yiming's name loudly.

Yet Xu Yiming gave no response at all.

When he tremblingly reached out a finger to test Xu Yiming's breath, he immediately collapsed to the ground...

When Xu Shengchuan woke up, it was already noon.

His bodyguards stood watch beside him.

After waking, Xu Shengchuan suddenly sat bolt upright and asked urgently, "How is Yiming? Where is Yiming?"

His bodyguards exchanged glances, and one of them said in a low voice, "Boss, the young master... he's already dead!"

"Wha—what!? Dead... dead..."

Xu Shengchuan cried out in a trembling voice, his vision going dark.

Seeing this, his bodyguard quickly steadied him. "Yes, Boss. The doctor said... the young master died of sudden cardiac arrest. And by the time he was found, he'd already been dead for about seven or eight hours..."

Hearing this, Xu Shengchuan's whole body shook uncontrollably, sinking into endless grief...

After a long while.

Xu Shengchuan seemed to finally pull himself together a little from the pain of losing his son. He took a deep breath, and a flash of killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. He ground his teeth and said, "Sudden cardiac arrest, what a fine sudden cardiac arrest!"

"No matter who you are! Once I find out you killed my son, no matter the cost, I'll make sure you have no burial place and be buried with my son!"

Xu Shengchuan's face was vicious, his eyes turning bloodshot!

He knew very well that his son had not died from any sudden cardiac arrest—it was the Curse Seal inside him that had activated and killed his son.

He had only this one son, and his wife had passed away over a decade ago.

Now, with his son dying suddenly, the hatred in his heart was unimaginable!
