Chapter 25: Bamboo Flute

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Song Yiren tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. As long as she thought about Zhan Yihan coming to propose marriage tomorrow, she would fume with rage between gritted teeth.

“No, I must not let Su Jinyue get away with it.” Song Yiren sat up, climbed off the bed, and hopped over to her chest of drawers on one leg. Opening the chest of drawers, she reached her hand in and fished out a handkerchief that was wrapped around something.

Song Yiren’s eyes narrowed as she looked at the handkerchief in her hand, her gaze slightly vicious. Taking a deep breath, she unwrapped the handkerchief layer by layer. Inside, there was a bamboo flute. The bamboo flute was as short as a little finger, with delicate engravings on it. If one examined it closely, the pattern resembled a poppy in full bloom.

Song Yiren took out the bamboo flute and held it tightly in her hand, “Su Jinyue, I’ll never let Big Brother Zhan get engaged to you. He’s mine, you can forget about snatching him away.”

Using the wall as a support, Song Yiren hopped outside step by step.

At night, the small river behind the house was extremely quiet. Occasionally, the fish in the river would make a slight splashing sound as they swam by.

After scanning her surroundings, Song Yiren sat down on the river bank, panting heavily. When she caught her breath, she took out the bamboo flute and looked at it for a while, before placing it at her mouth and blowing it.

The bamboo flute whimpered. Under the cloak of night, it sounded a little creepy.

Song Yiren gradually became scared. She glanced around and could not help but shudder.?Didn’t he say that someone would show up as long as I played the bamboo flute? Why is there no one? Did that person who gave me the bamboo flute lie to me?

Three months ago, she had gone up to the mountain to gather medicinal herbs. Along the way, she came across a middle-aged man, who was severely injured, on the side of the road. She found him pitiful and saved him. In order to repay her, the other party gave her this bamboo flute. He said that he would do three things for her, and this was the first time she was using the bamboo flute.

“You’re looking for me,” a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Song Yiren was so frightened that all her hairs stood on end and she nearly fell into the river. After she composed herself, she looked at the person who had come. The other party was completely covered from head to toe, except for his eyes which were exposed. There was no way at all to know how the other person looked. “Are you… A human or a ghost?” She had never met someone dressed so strangely before.

“Why did you use the bamboo flute to call me?” the man in black asked coldly.

Song Yiren looked at the bamboo flute in her hand. She had saved that person’s life, so he probably wouldn’t lie to her. “I want you to kidnap someone.” As long as Su Jinyue disappeared, Big Brother Zhan would not be able to propose marriage.

The man in black nodded. “Who is it?”

“Su Jinyue. I want you to send her away, as far as possible, and never let her return to Shangxin Village,” Song Yiren instructed. She did not want to be so cruel to Su Jinyue, but Su Jinyue was to blame for snatching away the person she liked.

After absorbing the spiritual energy in the snake gall, Su Jinyue opened her eyes and stared at the wall intently. Now, her eyes had broken through to the second level, Wisdom Eye, and her X-ray vision could last for about five minutes.

Her gaze slowly penetrated the thick walls, and she soon saw the scenery behind the house. Su Jinyue grinned.?It feels great to be able to see through things!

At this moment, two dark shadows appeared in Su Jinyue’s line of sight and she was taken aback.?Isn’t that Song Yiren? What is she doing by the river so late??She and Song Yiren had known each other for many years, so she could naturally recognize her figure at a glance.

Looking at the man in black who was with Song Yiren, Su Jinyue was startled, and an ominous premonition immediately rose in her heart. She had seen a similar man in black in her past life. At that time, the person in black wanted to kill her, but Yihan had arrived in the nick of time to save her.?Turns out that the man in black is related to Song Yiren,?Su Jinyue thought to herself.

She then immediately got up, opened the door and ran out. No matter the reason Song Yiren had summoned the man in black, she could not afford to be careless.

Song Yiren walked into the courtyard with the man in black and pointed to Su Jinyue’s room as she said, “She stays in there.”

The man in black nodded and darted forward. Pulling out a dagger, he silently pried open the window of Su Jinyue’s room, and leapt in.

Song Yiren smirked coldly and hopped back into her room. There would be an exciting show to enjoy tomorrow.

After closing the door, Song Yiren hopped into bed and was about to go to sleep, when she heard a rap on the window.

When she got to the window, Song Yiren opened the window and saw the man in black standing outside.

When she did not see the man in black carrying Su Jinyue, Song Yiren was a little surprised. “Where is Su Jinyue?”

“She’s not in the room,” the man in black said. He had looked all over the place after going in.

Song Yiren’s brows furrowed. She then said, “She should be in the toilet then.”

“I have looked everywhere already. There’s only an old man in the house,” The man in black said.

“Impossible! Where could she have gone at this hour?” Song Yiren said in disbelief.

“Yiren!” Xu Tiansheng’s voice came through, startling Song Yiren. She quickly whispered to the man in black, “Go and look for her. I suspect she has gone to the Zhan Family’s house.” It was impossible for Su Jinyue to know that she was going to deal with her. In that case, the only possibility was that she was having a tryst with Big Brother Zhan.?Shameless!

The man in black nodded before turning around and sprinting out.

“Yiren, you haven’t slept yet?” There was a soft knock on the door.

“I’ve already slept. I just got up to go to the toilet,” Song Yiren said.

When she heard Xu Tiansheng’s footsteps going away, Song Yiren heaved a sigh of relief. Turning her head to look out the window, a ruthless smile crept up lips.?Su Jinyue, don’t blame me for being ruthless. You forced me to do it.

When Su Jinyue ran to the Zhan Family’s house, she saw through the crack in the door that all the lights in the house had been turned off. After thinking about it, she spun around and ran out of the village. She had better not trouble Yihan so late at night. The man in black was clearly not easy to deal with. It would be bad if she implicated his family.

After running a few steps, Su Jinyue saw a figure moving in front of her. She quickly crouched down and slowly crept to the edge of the house and hid herself.

When the man in black arrived outside the Zhan Family’s house, he scanned the surroundings. He then leapt up the wall and climbed inside.

Seeing the man in black climb into the Zhan Family’s house, Su Jinyue was filled with anxiety. Logically speaking, it was impossible for Song Yiren to instruct the man in black to deal with Yihan. Hence, the man in black must be here to look for her. If he could not find her, he would probably leave immediately.

Taking this into consideration, Su Jinyue made a swift decision and ran towards the entrance of the village. Regardless of whether the man in black’s goal was her, she could not let her guard down.

“Who’s there?!” Zhan Yihan’s eyes flew open all of a sudden and he jumped up from the bed.

The man in black had not expected Zhan Yihan’s alertness to be so high, so he hurriedly turned around and fled. For Zhan Yihan to be able to detect his presence, it went to show that Zhan Yihan was definitely not an ordinary person. He had to leave this place immediately.

Zhan Yihan gave pursuit and went out of the room. He was about to chase after him into the courtyard, when Zhan Dafeng’s voice rang out from the room, “Yihan, what’s going on?”

“There’s a thief,” Zhan Yihan said. Based on the other party’s skills, he was probably not a thief.?But why was he at my house?

“A thief! Yihan, hurry up and see if the betrothal gifts are missing!” Wang Meizhen shouted anxiously, and it was followed by the sound of her wearing shoes in a haste. She had spent the night preparing the betrothal gifts for tomorrow’s marriage proposal. Hopefully they had not been stolen by the thief.

“Okay!” Zhan Yihan replied to her and strode towards the main hall.. Tomorrow’s agenda was the most important thing.
