"Dad... are you Dad? Mom was taken away by them!"

"They are going to take Ying Ying's heart... Mom told me to call you, Dad! Please save me..."

On the peak of Kunlun Mountain, a strange phone call came in.

Hearing the child's voice on the phone, tinged with a hint of crying, Ye Chen's eyes showed a trace of suspicion.

"Little one, who are you?"

"I am Ye Yu Ning, my nickname is Ningning. My mother is Xia Qingyue. Are you my father?"

Boom!

It was like a bolt from the blue, striking Ye Chen hard.

Summer is here!

Five years have passed... He hasn't heard that name again.

For a moment, those memories he had kept hidden deep in his heart surged up like water.

"Hey! Who are you calling?"

Suddenly, a string of curses came from the phone, followed by a loud "crack"... The sharp sound must have been Xiao Ningning's phone being smashed.

"Who! Who dares to touch my child!!!"

At this moment, Ye Chen could no longer contain his murderous aura.

Boom!

In an instant, the huanghuali wood lectern before Ye Chen shattered into pieces.

Then Ye Chen abandoned everything and rushed out of the classroom.

Whoosh!

Upon seeing this, dozens of disciples below stood up at once.

These dozens of disciples... there is the undefeated Great Xia War God; there is the hegemon of a small country; there is the richest man in the country; there is the top medical sage Bai Guzai; and there is also the merciless Death God Yama!

They are all Ye Chen's closed-door disciples.

Today, it was supposed to be the day when Master gave a lecture. However, something must have happened to make him so angry!

"Here comes!"

Only a warlord in armor, bearing the five-star emblem of the Great Xia War God, Chen roared: "Quickly prepare a helicopter for my master... And pass on my order: one hundred thousand dragon riders stand ready immediately. All available Boeing fighter jets, tanks, and armored vehicles must be deployed at all costs to support my master at any time!"

Before his words even left his mouth, Chen Junlin had already rushed out.

Damn it!

Meanwhile, the powerful warlord of a certain country also roared angrily, "Someone dares to provoke my master? Pass down my order, send all mercenaries in the Triangle District over... With the might of the nation, anyone who angers my master shall die!"

"...Spread my order, all disciples of Yaosheng Valley leave the valley immediately...Whether you are a doctor or an alchemist, come out in full force! Anyone who dares to defy my master is the sworn enemy of Yaosheng Valley's very existence!!!"

"...Send my order, all officers of the Netherworld Palace immediately abandon your current tasks and support our master... Yes, now put down all your tasks... No regard for gains or losses!!!"

"Pass down my order, mobilize all the funds of the Teng Group, eight trillion, ready for my master's use at any time!!!"

"...Spread the word, contact all of my master's disciples and tell them, my master has left seclusion!!!"

……

Meanwhile, the Gu family in Jinling.

A two-and-a-half-year-old child, strapped to a cold operating table.

The child was very thin and frail, her pale face still bearing tear marks: "If you've taken...will you please let me and my mother go?"

Next to the icy bed, there is a Simmons mattress.

In the bed lay a pale-faced little boy, leaning against a nurse’s arms. His eyes were fixed on the child beside him.

Gu Nanfei sneered, "…I really didn't expect it. Xia Qingyue's wild child turned out to be Rh too!"

Rh, that's what people commonly call pandas.

Thus, the child followed Gu Nanfei's son to move the library.

Whenever the little boy was weak, Gu Nanfei would throw him onto the cold operating table and take his blood.

Day after day, the child grew weaker and paler.

Although he is already three and a half years old… he is as frail as a two and a half year old child!

Only to see Gu Nanfei's eyes were icy cold, staring at the child, word by word:

"Do you know, my son has a congenital heart defect...? I've been wanting to give him a new one for a long time, but unfortunately, panda hearts are very difficult to match with others!"

"Especially, finding a panda heart of the same size is even more difficult!!"

"Now then... you little runt, you were born to be my son's reservoir and spare heart!!"

"Doctor Li, hand—it's over!! Then, dig out the heart!!!"

"Speaking the last word, Gu Nanfei's face was ferocious like a devil. “It’s just the last time, more blood! After my son's hand, he will be very weak and need a lot to nourish him."

"Yes!"

Beside Gu Nanfei stood a doctor wearing golden spectacles and a mask, his face obscured.

Swiftly pulling out the bag, he without hesitation plunged the needle into the child's arm.

In an instant, the vibrant crimson was relentlessly drawn out!

The child bit his teeth and didn't cry out in pain. He just looked even paler than usual.

Fifty milliliters, one hundred milliliters, … two hundred milliliters, five hundred milliliters!

The bag is overfilled, and the dosage taken has exceeded the yearly limit.

However, Dr. Li did not remove the needle but instead changed it to a new bag... fifty milliliters, one hundred milliliters,... five hundred milliliters.

A few minutes later, the three duffle bags were stuffed to the brim!

"Doctor… Ning Ning has no energy."

"Ouch, please stop..."

The child looked up at Gu Nanyi helplessly, her big eyes filled with helplessness and pleading. "We've been through so much, can you please let Ningning go home...? Ningning misses Mommy..."

Clearly, three-and-a-half-year-old Nengning doesn't know what the heart means.

The child listened very confused to Gu Nanyi's words just now, thinking that they would be able to go home right after!

"Hmph!" Gu Nanfei sneered, "A useless little bastard who wants to go home? After I dig out your heart, I'll go find Xia Qingyue...I've wanted to pin this person down and ravish them for ages!"

Then, Gu Nanfei again contorted his face and snarled: "Doctor Li, hand, dig out the heart!"

Dr. Li nodded and took out his scalpel.

"Doctor, what are you going to do... I'm afraid, Ningning is scared."

Seeing the blue-flashing scalpel and Dr. Zhao's icy eyes, Xiaoning began to panic.

Looking helplessly at Gu Nanfei, she began to wail and plead, "Ningning is so scared, Ningning is so cold. Please, take Ningning back to see Mom..."

Gu Nantian ignored the doctor and went to the boy's side, his face full of concern. "Son, don't be afraid when it hurts later. After this operation, you'll have a healthy heart."

"Hmm."

The little boy looked at his father, a gleam of excitement in his eyes. "Hurry up and take out your heart, give it to me!"

The next second, a sharp knife slashed across Xiao Ningning's mouth.

The blade cut through the skin, making a "sisshing" sound.

"Ouch ouch ouch! Nini, it hurts so much..."

Her face, pale and thin, was covered in sweat as the crimson flowed. Xiao Ningning cried out in pain, trying to struggle but was bound tightly to the bed, unable to move.

"Mommy... come quickly and save Nini, Nini hurts."

"Mommy! Save Nini... Daddy, Daddy, where are you?"

"Ningning it hurts... Come save Ningning!"

Intense pain and heavy blood loss quickly plunged Ning into a semi-conscious state. At this moment, all she craved was her own mother, and... that father she had never met!!
