His name was Jiang Tian!

"What did you say?"

Jiang Tian's answer stunned the young man.

He was clearly shocked.

Once he recovered, he frowned and looked around. "You're saying you killed them?"

Seeing their son actually admit it, Jiang Chenglin and Wu Xiuli went pale with fright and kept signaling to him with their eyes.

Jiang Tian gave them a reassuring look, then said, "That's right. I slapped them into a mist of blood!"

"Slapped them into a mist of blood..."

"Kid, are you fucking kidding me?"

Coming to his senses, the young man pointed straight at Jiang Tian's nose and cursed at him.

Slapped them into a mist of blood?

Do you think you're some immortal emperor who's returned?

"Don't believe me? Check the surveillance footage yourself."

Jiang Tian couldn't be bothered to waste words on him. Talking to an arrogant idiot like this would only lower his own IQ!

Seeing that Jiang Tian didn't seem to be joking, the young man began to doubt himself. Could this kid actually be telling the truth?

But on second thought, he dismissed the idea. How could anyone slap someone into a mist of blood? Was this some fucking joke?

"Someone go pull up the surveillance footage!"

Although he didn't believe it, he still had the footage checked.

A few minutes later, the footage was retrieved and played on the computer in the guardroom.

The young man walked over to watch it. When he saw what happened on-screen, he collapsed onto a chair in fright!

In the footage, Jiang Tian really did raise his hand, and Yang Bin and the other two vanished without a trace.

"You... you... you..."

The young man panicked completely, pointing at Jiang Tian and stammering incoherently.

Was this guy a human or a ghost? How could he make three living people disappear with a wave of his hand?

Was it a magic trick?

Jiang Tian gave a cold laugh.

"Believe me now? Remember, my name is Jiang Tian. If you've got a problem with it, come find me!"

With that, he took his parents and left.

Even after leaving the guardroom, his parents still hadn't recovered from their terror.

"Tian, won't leaving like this get us into trouble?"

Wu Xiuli's face was full of worry.

Jiang Chenglin added, "Yes, Tian. If there's no other choice, let's turn ourselves in. We'll explain what happened, and I'll spend some money and pull some strings to try to get your sentence reduced!"

Seeing the worry in his parents' eyes, Jiang Tian smiled confidently. "Mom, Dad, don't worry. They were just a few parasites. Nothing will happen."

"But..."

The couple still wanted to say something.

Jiang Tian cut them off. "No buts. Your son isn't who he used to be. Even if I turned the whole world upside down, no one could bring me to justice."

Hearing their son's baffling words, the couple exchanged looks, weeping silently inside. Had they only just reunited, only to be separated again?

While the couple sighed in despair,

a luxurious BMW happened to drive past them.

Inside the car, a particularly beautiful, serene-looking woman wearing gold-rimmed glasses was reading a contract.

At that moment, she seemed to sense something, and her gaze involuntarily shifted toward the window.

In that instant, she caught sight of Jiang Tian and his parents walking away.

"That figure..."

The woman froze as she looked at the figure in the middle.

He seemed so familiar, so very much like the figure in her memories.

Both his silhouette and the way he walked were practically identical.

Her heart jolted, and she hurriedly called to the driver,

"Stop the car!"

"Miss Su, what's wrong?"

The secretary in the front quickly turned to ask.

The woman didn't answer, instead getting out of the car in a hurry.

But when she hurried back to the company entrance, Jiang Tian was already gone.

"Was I imagining things?"

She took off her glasses and rubbed the space between her brows.

Of course. That guy had been gone for ten years. How could it possibly be him?

"Miss Su, are you all right?"

The secretary came over and asked with concern.

"I'm fine. Let's go."

The woman shook her head and turned to get back into the car.

But just then,

a sudden commotion came from the company's guardroom. She frowned, put her glasses back on, and asked, "What's happening in the guardroom?"

"I'm not sure. I'll take a look."

The secretary shook her head and walked toward the guardroom.

The woman nodded.

A moment later,

the secretary came running back, looking terrified.

"What happened?"

The woman asked when she saw her.

"M-Miss Su, something terrible has happened! Someone's been killed!"

The secretary looked panicked and could barely get her words out.

"What? Someone's been killed?"

The woman was startled too and hurried over without hesitation.

"Director Zhou, what exactly happened? How did someone get killed?"

As soon as she entered the guardroom, her gaze landed on the head of security.

Director Zhou was Yang Bin's brother-in-law, whose full name was Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang's face was deathly pale. Seeing the woman approach, he looked as though he'd found someone to lean on. He lunged toward her, crying,

"Miss Su, you have to get justice for me!"

"What exactly happened? Take your time and tell me."

The woman frowned at Zhou Yang on the floor.

Zhou Yang then recounted everything that had just happened.

After hearing him out, the woman looked utterly incredulous too.

Three security guards had been slapped into a mist of blood?

Impossible!

"Show me the surveillance footage!"

Coming to her senses, the woman spoke with a cold expression.

But after watching the footage, her lovely face turned pale as well.

"This... how is this possible?"

She was highly educated and had never believed in supernatural nonsense.

Yet after seeing the footage, even her steadfast belief in materialism began to waver.

She had just watched a young man raise his hand and slap three living people into nothing.

How much strength would it take to kill three people with one slap, destroying even their bodies?

"Miss Su, this is a homicide now. Shouldn't we call the police?"

The secretary reminded her.

Zhou Yang nodded hurriedly. "Yes, call the police! We have to bring this guy to justice!"

The woman nodded and was about to agree when she suddenly took a closer look and realized that the young man on-screen seemed familiar.

"Wait, that face..."

When she saw his face, her expression turned astonished, as though she had seen something unbelievable.

Covering her mouth, she shook her head repeatedly.

"How could it be him? How could it..."

"Miss Su, what's wrong?"

The secretary and Zhou Yang were startled by her reaction and hurriedly asked.

The woman shook her head, then looked at Zhou Yang and asked,

"You met this young man, didn't you? Do you know his name?"

Zhou Yang nodded repeatedly.

"Of course I met him. He's the murderer... He said his name was Jiang Tian!"

"Jiang Tian!"

At those words,

a thunderclap seemed to explode in her mind. She staggered and nearly fell.

"Miss Su!"

The secretary and Zhou Yang hurriedly caught her.

But the woman continued staring blankly at the face on-screen, tears spilling uncontrollably from her eyes.

Had he... come back?

Meanwhile, Jiang Tian had brought his parents home.

"Mom, Dad, don't worry about this. If I say it'll be fine, it'll be fine."

Seeing that his parents still looked troubled, Jiang Tian spoke with a smile.

The couple forced smiles but said nothing. In truth, they had come to terms with it.

As long as their son was alive, they would wait, even if he went to prison for twenty or thirty years!

At least they would have something to look forward to!

"Tian, you still haven't told us where you've been all these years."

Wu Xiuli asked again.

Jiang Chenglin also gave him a curious look. What had their son been doing these past ten years? Why hadn't they heard a single word from him?

Seeing the curiosity in their eyes, Jiang Tian fell silent for a moment. He didn't really want to hide the truth. But he knew that if he said he had spent ten years cultivating in the mountains, they certainly wouldn't believe him. They might even think he'd gone mad, just like his sister had.

After some thought, he finally said,

"Mom, Dad, I've actually spent these past ten years training on a mountain. A master took an interest in me and taught me a lot of things. I only recently came down and returned."

"Training on a mountain? A master?"

The couple found it hard to believe. After all, what masters were there in modern society?

Seeing their disbelief, Jiang Tian smiled faintly.

"It's true, Mom, Dad. If you don't believe me, how about I show you what I can do?"

With that, he rolled up his father's trouser leg and said,

"Dad, to tell you the truth, I also learned some medicine during my years on the mountain. I can heal your leg in one minute. Do you believe me?"
