In his unconscious state, Ren Ye lay stiffly on the hospital bed with a pale face. Although he didn't sustain many injuries in the first place, the bullet hole he received was supernaturally healed.
During that time of crisis, Ice Body came in handy as it shielded him from the permanent damage it could have done to his head.
It was fortunate enough he was completely healed with no injuries as Ren Ye raised his hand and rubbed the wounds, discovering all of them were sealed and healed.
Ren Ye slowly opened his eyes and glanced toward the ceiling with a complicated face. The only thing he thought of at that moment was his car instead of himself.
'I seriously crashed the car on my first day of work…'
How will Uncle Jie react to this if he finds out his new employee crashed his car on his first day of work?
Ren Ye's features twitched slightly.
"Jia'er…"
Ren Ye mumbled gently, alerting the nearby nurses who hadn't realized their patient has woken up. They immediately whispered to each other audibly before exiting the room.
Uncle Yi hasn't woken up yet and he specifically warned me not to get in trouble, yet I managed to get myself in trouble…
The men that chased me last night definitely are related to someone of high standing.
Ren Ye thought deeply about what has happened last night with a frown.
In this current world where laws overrule every might, it is a bit strange to find these men acting without restraint toward a woman knowing the consequences. This can only make me come to another conclusion.
First, one is that they are fearless in the face of the law which I highly doubt is what prompted them to chase after a woman. Unless they do not fear death.
The second is that they have a powerhouse backing them which is the most possible reason I could find. To commit crimes hidden from the eyes of the public could only be done if a powerhouse is suppressing the information from spreading.
Ma Meifan is a lady from a relatively powerful family, only one of the many powerhouses could scheme against them without fearing any setbacks.
The law is strict and to attempt to abduct a woman of high status, especially one from one of the most high-profile families, is a sign of provocation.
Ren Ye thought of this but he didn't dare say it was the truth yet.
He would have to question Ma Meifan.
[Ding! Congratulations! User has successfully fallen into one of the traps set up by Ye Zhihao.]
!!!
"You sure got yourself in a lot of trouble after I was gone, heh?"
A hoarse voice sounded out inside his head, Ren Ye was a bit speechless.
"Shouldn't you come out a lot later?"
Old Yi let out a chortle and he continued in an amused tone, "I leveled up after you completed the chase."
"Simply, I saw everything you did."
"I seriously thought you were going to die but thankfully, you chose the correct technique."
Old Yi let out a sigh of relief.
"Leveled up? The mission?"
If he remembered correctly, the system didn't inform him of any new mission as of late.
Or rather, the mission was a hidden one…
"It was a hidden mission, wasn't it?"
"It was. Anyway, congratulation on meeting Ye Zhihao and not dying although you won't anyways."
The system's window popped out of nowhere and it listed the details of Ye Zhihao.
[Ye Zhihao]
[Transmigrator Identified!]
[Past Identity: Criminal]
[Information: Born in The Vile Universe, where committing evil will help one rise in ranks and where thoughts are filled with vile energy and vicious intentions. He died after being devoured by his mother and was reborn into this world.]
[His current system is The Villain System]
[Trait: Neutral Evil]
Ren Ye's eyes dilated before calming himself down, "Ye Zhihao? I think I know him."
Shouldn't he be one of the four young masters that rule the business world? What happened to him? If I remember correctly, his parents recently died in a car crash not long ago too. His uncle was arrested by the law enforcer after being found guilty of murder and fraud.
He suddenly recalled a saying from his father about the lives of the riches.
'There's always something more to the story than what the news let you know.'
"The most special hack of this system is that it will help you identify the identities of other transmigrators," Old Yi hummed softly, "The other systems won't be able to tell the transmigrators who is who. They probably don't realize there are other transmigrators in their room because their systems don't help them with that."
"You can consider yourself lucky in this aspect."
[As crisis is looming and reward for entering yourself into danger, User shall be rewarded with permanent Shapeshifting.]
[Main Mission: Kill Ye Zhihao]
[Details: Immediately annihilate Ye Zhihao before letting him advance to Manifestation Realm.]
[Deadline: Before Advancement]
[Punishment: User will have to deal with the mess by himself and go against a Manifestation Cultivator by himself]
Ren Ye's eyes became more ruthless as he grimaced, "This? Is the system he has speeding his cultivation speed? Manifestation Realm is extremely far from my realm. Isn't it a bit too quick to advance to Manifestation?"
The gap between Manifestation and Corporeal Phase was too vast and if a Corporeal Phase Cultivator were to fight off one. With one swipe of its finger, they would immediately get crushed into pieces before putting up a fight.
"All systems are the same," Old Yi replied with a knowing voice, "I doubt he's even at Corporeal Phase yet. I believe it is simply giving you more time. If he ever advances, you may face an even bigger threat than now."
[Side Mission: Advance to Phase II]
[Details: The Energy within the User is raging chaotically and requires management. In order to balance out the energy from spreading to other parts of the soul, User must take on another mission.]
[Requirements: Blueroots Ginseng and Ice Entrancing Potion]
"Old Yi, didn't you have the potion before?" Ren Ye suddenly asked after noticing the name, Old Yi hummed in acknowledgment.
"I have some left but I am not sure if it will be enough for the advancement. But I can tell you how to make it using Ice Body," Old Yi chuckled loudly before coughing, "You simply extract it from yourself."
Extracting it from myself? Hmm, how? By pissing myself…
Ren Ye coughed before nodding his head, "Then we only need to buy the Blueroots Ginseng, which is pretty rare from what I know of it."
Blueroots Ginseng is a special kind of Ginseng, originally cultivated up high in the mountains. Due to its scarcity and the need for experienced farmers, it was relatively hard to come across at local markets.
There were two ways to get them are through contacting merchants and buying them straight from the auction. Although you can't be guaranteed to find one immediately, it would take a lot of effort before coming across one.
Ren Ye could try to contact Gong Fan for his extensive connection but considering his attitude, he would likely be charged twice the actual price, there was another alternative though.
By exchanging his charms!
Charms are extremely hard to make therefore hearing the mention of charms, one would be willing to spend millions on one if it could save their lives in the future.
Agility wasn't the best but enough to earn half of them, Ren Ye was willing to exchange it for Blueroots Ginseng.
But then again, he still had to go and contact Gong Fan for information before resorting to other means.
'Now how do I find money to repay back the damages to Uncle Jie?'
Ren Ye immediately had a migraine just from the thought of having to scatter for money.
Outside of the Hospital Room, there was two figure, petite and slender, sitting rather anxiously while waiting for news.
There were completely different thoughts in their heads at that moment.
Although Ma Meifan looked gentle and calm on the surface, she was frantically panicking inside her head. She bit her lips lightly before restraining herself from making a reaction.
Seriously?! If he dies, I can't imagine what a mess it will be. Not only just that, but his daughter would also become an orphan and I would be shunned for causing a child to be fatherless and causing the loss of an innocent life.
Either I would have to take her in or I would be sent abroad to repent for my sins.
Because of me, a child would have to suffer…
Stop overthinking, Meifan! Focus and think positively!
She scolded herself for thinking this and just as she began to relax her body, she suddenly tensed up again after thinking of what happened last night and the bullet on his head.
Ma Meifan shivered intensely before pursing her lips and turning to look at Ren Jia who was staring downwards with her head lowered.
Ren Jia's aura emitted gloominess and distress that even Ma Meifan couldn't help but pity the young girl and hate herself for putting them through this.
Papa…
Who will I talk to if Papa becomes retarded because of that bullet? Mama isn't here so Papa mustn't become stupid and cause Mama to wait for your return with sadness and longing.
Ren Jia sniffled slightly as tears began to form in the corner of her eyes, she tried to hold back the tears but they came out like drops of rain. Her luminous eyes were filled with distress and grievances, she rubbed her eyes repeatedly, causing them to become red.
Ma Meifan's eyes became frightened and her heart shook, she immediately took out a paper and offered it to the little girl. She tried to comfort her with her gentle words but to no avail.
"Little girl, don't cry."
"Don't cry, your dad will be alright."
The more she speaks, the more the little girl continued to sob louder. Ma Meifan began to panic as she tried to look for a way to comfort her from crying further.
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, she raised her head to discover a slim figure approaching her with light footsteps.
The cold beauty lifted her head and shot her a relief smile, discarding the cold exterior she had when she came inside. The woman was dressed modestly but if one were to look closely, they would notice she wasn't someone who came from an ordinary background.
The woman curled her red cherry lips into a grin as she said in a soft yet relieved tone, "Meifan."
"You are alright."
Ma Meifan's eyes shook and her gentle expression was replaced with a joyful expression, she raised her head and grinned widely, "Sister! You are here."
The sudden strange voice caused Ren Jia to slightly lift her glossy eyes and she saw a delicate woman standing in front of them, who was staring at them with a graceful smile.
