Chapter 290: Heaven Beyond Heaven
After hanging up the phone with Li Xian, Lin Ye called Zhong Shan.
"Please pick up two young people for me, Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi. I'll give you their contact information later."
"Well, bring it directly to me."
Zhong Shan did not ask the reason, and Lin Ye did not explain. Over the years, Zhong Shan always complied with his requests as soon as possible without asking the reasons.
After calling Zhong Shan, Lin Ye was about to call the Xie family, but before he dialed the number, a call came in.
Seeing the incoming call number, Lin Ye raised his eyebrows. What a coincidence, the Xie family called him.
"Old lady." Lin Ye answered the phone: "What's the matter?"
"Mr. Lin, did Xiaoqi and the kid from the Li family come to see you?"
"Does the old lady know?"
Lin Ye frowned. Li Xian would definitely not tell the Xie family. So how did Old Lady Xie know?
"Mr. Lin, if...if possible, I hope you can keep Xiaoqi alive."
When Mrs. Xie said this on the phone, Lin Ye's eyes narrowed. Is there something else going on here?
According to Li Xian, it was Old Madam Xie who issued the order to kill Xie Xiaoqi. Why is it that now Old Madam Xie hopes that she can save Xiaoqi?
"Old lady, I don't understand what you said."
"Mr. Lin, I will not hide it from you. I did not give this order willingly, but I had no choice but to do so."
Lin Ye caught a certain thought in his mind and asked directly: "Is it related to the man Xie Xiaoqi is engaged to?"
"Yes, Xiaoqi was engaged to that person when she was young. At that time, I was the only one in the Xie family, and we were in a precarious position. They helped me stabilize the Xie family and eliminated the enemies of the Xie family. They only wanted Xiaoqi to be engaged to their third generation, and I agreed at that time."
"It's just that I didn't expect that they actually left a palace guard mark on Xiaoqi. Now they found out that Xiaoqi and Li Xian ran away, and they want my Xie family to give an explanation. I can only issue this killing order, but I didn't really let my family hunt down Xiaoqi."
"Old lady, do you mean that they did it themselves?" Lin Ye guessed this possibility.
"Yes, someone has been sent over there."
"Old lady, one last question, what is the man's background?"
This is the issue that Lin Ye is most concerned about. Lin Ye cannot think of any other family in the country that can force the Xie family to this extent.
"They come from the outer world."
"Heaven beyond Heaven?"
This was the first time Lin Ye heard this word.
"Mr. Lin, this is all I know. I don't know where Tianwaitian is, but they are very powerful. When the Xie family came to me, the elders had passed away, and I was the only one left. The enemies of the Xie family were eyeing us covetously, but after I agreed to their request, the family that had a grudge against my Xie family was wiped out in just one day."
Old Madam Xie's voice was trembling. Obviously, after so many years, the old madam was still a little nervous. Lin Ye also knew the whole story .
Twenty-two years ago, on the day when Xie Xiaoqi was one month old, several uninvited guests came to the Xie family. They took the initiative to find Old Lady Xie and mentioned that they wanted to arrange a marriage for Xie Xiaoqi. Naturally, Old Lady Xie would not agree when she didn't even know the other party's identity or background.
The other party proposed a method that they could use to solve a big problem for the Xie family. Old Lady Xie didn't take these three people seriously at the time. She just wanted to get rid of them and directly made a request that she thought they couldn't do.
Get rid of the enemies of the Xie family.
The enemy of the Xie family was the Hua family, which was one of the top three families among the ten major families in the alien world at that time. Originally, Old Lady Xie thought that the other party would retreat in the face of difficulties, but the three of them left after saying they would come back the day after tomorrow.
The next day, Old Lady Xie heard a shocking piece of news.
The entire Hua family was wiped out, leaving no one alive!
Old Lady Xie was shocked but also frightened. If the other party could destroy the Hua family overnight, then they could also destroy the Xie family overnight.
Therefore, when the other party came to the door on the third day, Old Lady Xie agreed to the marriage.
However, the other party asked Old Lady Xie not to disclose the news to the clan members, and Old Lady Xie agreed. Before the other party left, Old Lady Xie asked about the other party's identity on the pretext that the two parties had already become married.
The other party only told her that they came from the outside world and never said anything else.
According to these three people, they will come to propose marriage when Xie Xiaoqi is twenty-five years old.
Over the years, Old Lady Xie has been trying to find out information about Tianwaitian, but to no avail. It seems as if Tianwaitian does not exist in this world and there is no trace of it to be found.
But today, someone from outside the world appeared.
The other party went directly to the Xie family and gave Old Lady Xie a shocking news.
Perhaps to show their determination, or perhaps to force their elders, the young couple Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi had already tasted the forbidden fruit after eloping. The people from Tianwaitian sensed the disappearance of the gecko seal left on Xie Xiaoqi's body, and came to question them.
The people from Tianwaitian gave Old Lady Xie a choice: either the Xie family would be destroyed, or she would bring Xie Xiaoqi's body to them.
This is the reason why Old Lady Xie issued a killing order for Xie Xiaoqi in front of her clan members.
She is the head of the Xie family. No matter how much she loves Xiaoqi as her granddaughter, she always puts the survival of the entire family first.
But Old Lady Xie was also cautious. Although she gave the order, she did not arrange for anyone from the clan to do so. She also deliberately did it in front of her eldest son, giving him the opportunity to tip off Xiaoqi.
According to the old lady's plan, the eldest son informed Xiaoqi and the others. Xiaoqi and the others were not stupid and knew that the best way was to escape abroad. However, if they wanted to escape , they could only ask Mr. Lin for help.
What the old lady didn't expect was that the other side seemed to know what she was thinking and decided to take action personally.
That's how this phone call came about.
…
After hanging up the phone with Old Lady Xie, Lin Ye fell into deep thought. According to what Old Lady Xie said, the people from Tianwai Tian were very powerful, so should he get involved in this mess?
The Li family and the Xie family did not have much concern for him.
"Old Shi, you heard everything. Do you know anything about the Heaven Beyond Heaven?" Lin Ye asked the stone plate on his chest.
"Tianwaitian? I've never heard of it. What kind of thing dares to be named that?"
There was disdain for this world outside the world in Shi Pan's words, but Lin Ye did not completely believe it. Nine out of ten words this old man said were lies. He could not take them seriously, otherwise he would be cheated without knowing it.
"Boy, I didn't lie to you. With your current strength, you are already one of the best in the world. Don't worry about the mountains beyond the heavens. If I'm not satisfied, I will just crush you."
Shi Pan said in a domineering tone: "Boy, in my opinion, those guys from Tianwaitian are probably just a group of guys who are struggling to survive. You have even been to Xiling Snow Mountain, so why are you afraid of these guys?"
Lin Ye remained unmoved by Shi Pan's exaggerated words.
He decided to wait for Zhong Shan to bring Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi to the villa and then deal with the situation accordingly.
An hour later, Lin Ye's cell phone rang.
A call from Zhongshan.
"Advisor Lin, I received a call from Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi. They were on their way to your place when two mysterious people suddenly appeared. They...they injured the people from the appraisal institute."
"Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi were taken away by them?"
The first thought in Lin Ye’s mind was that the people from Tianwaitian had found Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi. It was somewhat .
"No...I didn't leave. They want...to have our institute give them an explanation. Otherwise...they will kill everyone in our Raocheng Institute."
Lin Ye's eyes narrowed, and Shi Pan immediately said, "Boy, see, these bastards are too arrogant and are the ones who are actively provoking us. Kill them!"
"Tell me the location!"
Lin Ye ignored the stone plate, pondered for a moment, and asked Zhong Shan to give him a seat.
…
…
Raocheng, Torch Road!
This ten-kilometer-long road was blocked at both ends a quarter of an hour ago, and no vehicles were allowed to pass.
The middle of Torch Road.
Four cars were parked in a haphazard manner on the road, and one car had overturned on the road.
A dozen young men were lying on the ground covered in wounds, and some were leaning against car doors, trying to prevent themselves from falling.
Zhong Shan, Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi were the only ones who were still able to stand, but the faces of the three of them were very pale, especially Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi, both of whom had blood at the corners of their mouths.
In front of the three people stood two middle-aged men, one had a blank expression, while the other was scanning the entire audience with a teasing look.
"Team Leader Zhong, this time it's us two who have harmed everyone."
After Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi looked at each other, Li Xian first said sorry to Zhong Shan, and then looked at the two people. He didn't know the identity of the two people. Xiaoqi also said that the two people were not from the Xie family. Although he didn't know why the other party was chasing him and Xiaoqi, he knew that the other party was taking advantage of him and Xiaoqi.
Thinking of the strength the other party had just displayed, Li Xian felt palpitations. Even his grandfather did not have such strength.
He didn't want to implicate these innocent people, or even Mr. Lin, because of himself.
Just now, he and Xiaoqi's eyes met, and both of them understood the meaning of each other's eyes. Since they couldn't be together while alive, they would become a pair of ghost mandarin ducks after death.
"Xiaoqi and I can go with you, but you can't hurt them."
Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi were ready to die, but they also knew that if they committed suicide now, these two people might get angry and kill Team Leader Zhong and the others.
"Who do you think you are? How can you threaten the two of us? If you dare to destroy our plan, everyone will die. The reason why I spared your lives is just to tease you for a while and see if you are willing to give yourself up."
The man's words made Li Xian and Xie Xiaoqi feel depressed, while Zhong Shan's expression changed. It seemed that the two men deliberately asked him to call Consultant Lin.
But thinking of Consultant Lin's strength, Zhong Shan regained confidence. Didn't the ghost merchants and the Xu family look down on Consultant Lin in the beginning? And the Eighteen Villages, such an arrogant force, still bowed down to Consultant Lin, didn't they?
In his heart, Consultant Lin is invincible.
"I'm afraid you're just asking for trouble. Brother Li, you don't have to beg them. When Consultant Lin comes, he will naturally take care of them."
Zhong Shan spoke, and his words made the man with the teasing look laugh: "You really don't know how to live or die. If that's the case, I will torture and kill that so-called Consultant Lin in front of you."
Destroying other people's hopes is like a cat playing with mouse, which is his favorite game.
"Really? How do you want to torture me?"
A playful voice sounded, and Zhong Shan's expression became excited when he heard it. It was Consultant Lin's voice, and Consultant Lin came rushing over.
