Chapter 732: Chapter 732: Fleeing Famine 37

"That year, Yang Cheng was only eight years old. He and his neighbor’s little friend were as close as real brothers, and he often went to stay next door, sleeping in the same bed with his friend."

"That night, he was staying at the neighbor’s house when he heard the screams coming from his own home. He and his little friend were awakened, and without putting on clothes or shoes, they stealthily crawled up the courtyard wall and saw with their own eyes how more than twenty members of the Yang family were killed by a group of men in black."

"If it hadn’t been for his little friend covering his mouth in time, he would have screamed out right then and there."

"After the Yang family’s massacre, the neighboring family didn’t dare keep him, fearing it would bring disaster to their home, so they sent Yang Cheng to live with a relative in the countryside."

"After arriving at his foster father’s house, carrying the burden of a deep vendetta, Yang Cheng never let go of his martial arts training. At the age of twenty, when the Yao family was recruiting soldiers, Yang Cheng joined them as a Yao Family Soldier."

"Due to his exceptional martial arts skills, he was entrusted by the eldest young master of the Yao family, who was Yao Wanhua’s elder brother."

"In the following decade, the Yao family members died one after another, either poisoned or assassinated."

"That year, if Huo Guochang had not left the Huo Family to fight in the war, he might have died at the hands of Yang Cheng as well."

When Huo Guochang was just born, the Yang family was exterminated, and Yang Cheng went to the countryside. By the time Yang Cheng returned to the city, Huo Guochang had already left, so Yang Cheng didn’t know that Huo Guochang was the son of Yao Wanhua and Su Jingshan.

Huo Guochang’s original name in the Huo Family was Huo Yucheng. It was only after he enlisted that he changed his name to Huo Guochang.

This time, the fact that the two were sent to Fengling Village together was no coincidence. Huo Guochang came to see his half-sister.

Meanwhile, Old Yang somehow learned that Su Jingshan had left descendants in Fengling Village, and he came to avenge the Yang family.

He believed that the reason the Yang family was massacred was that the Yao family was the murderer, but Su Jingshan was the cause. If Su Jingshan hadn’t offended the Yao family and then left with his wife, Yao Wanhua wouldn’t have targeted the escort agency, and the Yang family wouldn’t have been exterminated.

He did not kill Boren, but Boren died because of him.

Yuan Chun sighed deeply when she learned of the Yang family’s fate and asked 007, "So, in the previous life, was the real mastermind behind the downfall of the Geng family Old Yang?"

"Yes, Host, the Yang family was all killed, even Yang Cheng’s sister, who was just three years old, had her head chopped off, and Yang Cheng witnessed it with his own eyes."

"Even after Yang Cheng later married and had children, he lived continually in hatred. Once he learned that Su Jingshan had left offspring, he sent people to kill the Geng family."

"In the previous life, the villagers of Fengling Village were refugees on the run amidst a chaotic world. With refugees mixed along the road, his people blended in, casually instigating a few words to get the Geng family killed without anyone noticing."

"In this life, his people had also infiltrated the refugee group from Fengling Village early on. However, just as he was about to act, you had already taken Geng Dalin and the others out of the group. By the time he found out, you all had returned to the village."

"Afterwards, incidents like Old Fan Family, the Du family, and the couple Geng Dazhuang being struck by lightning scared him off."

"Yang Cheng, upon learning that Old Fan Family and the Du family had been struck by lightning, intended to personally visit Fengling Village to kill you. However, Yang Cheng’s luck was too poor. Just as he was about to set out, his rival reported him, and he was under surveillance in the Imperial City, cleaning toilets for several years."

"It wasn’t until half a year ago when his rival also encountered trouble that he managed to use his limited connections to send himself and his wife here."

"Host, if it weren’t for your cautious and careful actions in your daily life, and if his identity were not inconvenient, your several grandchildren would’ve likely already fallen victim to him."
