Chapter 48 Guess
The Cheng Mansion was in a mess. After being caught off guard by someone for no reason, the great losses suffered by Cheng Mansion were definitely the most tragic time in a century.
What’s even more sad is that this incident just happened a few days after the birthday party of the old man in Cheng’s family.
The Cheng family's prestige increased by the Linlang Lin family was suppressed to the extreme at this moment. How can a family that cannot even guarantee the safety of its own family protect others?
Although the terrifying gray-clothed men quickly retreated, for Cheng's family, this was a bloody and profound lesson that could never be forgotten.
The heads of the He family and the Xu family in the county came in a very short time. They were also deeply shocked by the attacks Cheng's family and secretly thanked in their hearts that the other party was extremely powerful. If this happened to their two families, I am afraid the consequences would not be much better than the Cheng family.
After learning that the Thousand Years of Blood Ginseng was also robbed, although they said regrets, they never felt gloating.
However, seeing the miserable appearance of the Cheng family, they were also sad and depressed by the rabbit and fox. They readily agreed to the request of the Cheng family to assist in pursuing the murderer.

After He Yiming withdrew from the Cheng Mansion, he immediately took off his gray robe and black scarf and returned to the home. However, when he returned home, he found that only his mother and sister were still at home, while his father and brother were gone.
Turning back to look at the fire in the direction of Cheng Mansion, he immediately understood where his father, brother and others were going.
After touching his face, he took out another bottle, poured a little liquid on his hands, applied it lightly for a moment, washed away all his makeup, and then came to the hall of the courtyard.
As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Lin Wenyu immediately raised his face and asked, "Yiming, where did you go just now?"
He Yiming habitually disturbed his scalp and said, "Mom, I went out just now."
"It's so late, what are you doing when you go out? If something happens, what should you do?" Lin Wenyu said with a gentle face.
He Yiming laughed and said, "Mom, I'm just going out to practice boxing, nothing will happen."
"Practice boxing?" Lin Wenyu's face calmed down. Over the past year, she also had some understanding of the progress of her precious son's cultivation. Although she was happy in her heart, she also felt deeply puzzled. However, after hearing Yiming's words at this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of emotion. It was said that Yiming was so genius, but no one saw the efforts behind him.
If every one of the three generations of the He family had such a level of effort and would not even let it go for a night, then I am afraid that everyone would make great progress.
Looking at her son's face that looked a little tender but a little mature, and that kind of face that blended two different feelings, her heart suddenly felt sore. How much hardship did this son suffer in secret in order to make a name for himself in the family!
Thinking of this, Lin Wenyu reached out and hugged Yiming in his arms.
He Yiming looked at his mother for no reason, but no matter how genius he was, he could not realize his mother's thoughts at this moment. However, since he was five years old, he has never been so intimate with his mother. At this moment, he was full of warmth in his heart. He reached out to hug his mother's waist and completely calmed down. Even the things he had just experienced seemed to have completely forgotten at this moment.
He Yilong looked at him with a gaze and also stepped forward and squeezed into his mother's arms. He Yiming glared at her, and she glared back without hesitation. The two brothers and sisters stared at each other with big eyes, but after a moment, they burst into laughter at the same time.
The mother and son happily enjoyed family happiness at home. As for news about the Chengfu fire, they no longer took it to heart.
It was not until dawn that He Quanming and He Yixuan and his son returned from Cheng's mansion.
Their faces were extremely solemn, and they were obviously moved after seeing the tragic phenomenon of Cheng's family.
The three families of He, Xu and Cheng are known as the three major families in Taicang County. Although there are differences in their top combat power, none of them are easy to mess with.
Since the Cheng family has reached such a tragic level, what will happen if those people from last night came to the He family?
After He Quanming returned home, he saw Yiming at first sight, and couldn't help but feel angry and said, "Yiming, where did you go last night? Do you know how dangerous it was outside last night?"
He Yiming felt warm and said, "Dad, I went out to practice last night. Later, I saw the city getting hot, so I came back."
"Practice? Why can't you practice qigong at home?" He Quanming's anger suddenly became much smaller, but his tone was still very sharp.
Lin Wenyu hurried forward, pulled He Yiming behind him, and helped explain a few words in a soft voice, and also pointed out in a vague way that the reason why Yiming achieved his current achievements was inevitable due to his unremitting efforts in daily life. Since his son has such a mind, his parents cannot pull him back no matter what.
He Quanming was just worried about his son's safety. At this moment, he even took the initiative to urge him to make sure that he would not go out again in the next few days.
He Yiming was naturally submissive and did not refute at all. He was extremely glad that he had just escaped like this.
However, when he returned to the room, he couldn't help but feel depressed.
How should I deal with this thousand-year-old blood ginseng? It is definitely not possible to hand it over to my father. I can't bear to throw it away. Do you want to eat it yourself?

After a day of sorting in the Cheng Mansion, the peace has returned to its original state.
But at this moment, there was no longer the festive atmosphere in Cheng's mansion that was the previous few days, but the clouds were bleak and the miserable crying could be heard everywhere.
At this moment, in the backyard of Cheng's mansion, Mr. Cheng and Cheng Jiahui, the two leaders in the Cheng family, were sitting together.
The two of them are the core of the Cheng family. As long as they are still alive, the Cheng family will never decline.
"Jiahui, can you really be sure?" Mr. Cheng asked in a stern voice. Although he had already given him an answer in his heart, he would rather ask again.
Cheng Jiahui nodded slowly, his head seemed to be as heavy as Mount Tai, but he was still unwavering.
"Dad, that person is indeed using the Fire Fierce Mastery of the Xu family." Cheng Jiahui's voice was low and powerful: "I have fought with Xu Laosi many times, and I have a deep impression of it, so there is no mistake."
The muscles on Mr. Cheng's face twitched slightly, and he murmured: "The Fire Technique can hurt you with just one palm, but I'm afraid it's not the eighth level anymore."
"That's right, when the child took action, the man had just come out of the inner courtyard and was obviously caught off guard. But with just a casual palm, the child's thrust into a force and he easily broke it, and even the child himself suffered some internal injuries. Fortunately, the man was in a hurry and was determined to go, otherwise if he stopped..." Cheng Jiahui smiled bitterly and said, "If this is true, then the child will probably not see his father today."
Mr. Cheng's face was sometimes blue and red, and he no longer had the usual grace and luxury.
He snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid it's not that person who is begging for it, but thanks to your mother's blood, the Xu family dare not take any harm. If it's a change to other people in the family, hum..."
Cheng Jiahui immediately lowered his head. He had long doubted this idea, but he just didn't dare to say it in front of the old man.
"Have you found out the origin of those people?"
Cheng Jiahui said in a deep voice: "More than ten corpses have been collected. After identification, no familiar faces have been found."
Mr. Cheng was stunned and asked, "Did they come from another place?"
"Yes, this is the only explanation. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many internal energy practitioners to know no one."
"Are you an outsider?" Mr. Cheng said in confusion: "Did the Xu family actually start colluding with outsiders?"
"The child was also puzzled, but what the man in gray used was indeed the fire power of the Xu family." Cheng Jiahui said confidently.
The father and son looked at each other speechlessly. Although they did not believe that the Xu family would have the courage to do such a thing. However, the Fire Kung Fu is the unique skill of the Xu family, and outsiders would never pretend to be.
After pondering for a long time, Mr. Cheng finally said, "Jiahui, you arranged for someone to spread it. Among the thieves that night, someone used the ninth level of the Fire Art."
Cheng Jiahui suddenly looked up and said in surprise: "Dad, if we do this, wouldn't it be like we broke up with the Xu family?"
Mr. Cheng snorted coldly and said, "Skinned? Since the Xu family is shameless, why should we hide it? Could it be that dozens of lives in our Cheng family were lost in vain?"
When he said this, the old man's tone actually trembled slightly, and his voice was filled with resentment.
Cheng Jiahui's face twitched violently. He looked at his father in surprise. The image of the old man in his mind seemed to collapse at this moment, but it can also be seen how much resentment the old man had reached.
After a while, Cheng Jiahui finally sighed and said, "Yes, Dad, let's go now."
Mr. Cheng's face calmed down and he said, "Jiahui, don't worry, the Xu family dare not do anything. As long as we have a constant relationship with the Linlang Lin family, as long as your sister is still alive, our Cheng family will always be one of the three major families in Taicang County."
Cheng Jiahui hesitated for a moment and nodded slowly.
Mr. Cheng stood up, and after venting just now, he seemed to have completely recovered.
"Jiahui, Li'er is already seventeen this year."
"Yes, Li'er is exactly seventeen."
"Well, he is a big girl, so he should find a family for her." Mr. Cheng said loudly: "This time, among the three generations of children who came to celebrate their birthday, He Yi is very good. He is considered a good match for Lier. You can go there in person."
Cheng Jiahui was stunned and thought about it seriously. When he looked up, the old man had already left.
