Chapter 230: Chapter 228: Slapping the Reborn Apocalypse Girl 9
Apart from the Su family looking for Anning, Tang Chunhua’s family was also searching for her.
They wanted to obtain Anning’s forgiveness; otherwise, Tang Chunhua would be facing jail time.
However, Anning and her two nephews seemed to have vanished from the mortal world, elusive despite the efforts of these people to find her.
What was Anning doing now?
She had rented a house in South City and settled down.
Anning sold her house in Qing City. She now had a considerable amount of money, but the activities she was planning to undertake were costly, and the funds she possessed were far from enough.
Her current priority was cultivation, followed by making money.
Because the apocalypse was approaching, the order of this world was already in disarray, and the suppressive force of the world’s rules was weakening. Anning could fully engage in cultivation, and the speed of her progress was not slow.
She didn’t send Jixiang and Ru Yi to school either but measured the children’s innate talents before starting to cultivate with them.
Every day, the aunt and nephews devoted themselves to cultivation and learning.
Anning didn’t send the children to school, but she still wouldn’t let them grow up illiterate.
She bought many books and personally taught Jixiang and Ru Yi.
Jixiang and Ru Yi were quite intelligent to begin with. After starting their cultivation, not only were their meridians expanded, but their brains were also further developed, making them even more intelligent.
Their learning speed was astonishingly fast; in a short period of time, they completed the curriculum of the first grade, and within a few more days of Anning’s teaching, the second grade was a breeze as well.
After studying for over a month, they had already reached the level of the fifth grade, and that was considering they spent more than half of their time cultivating.
Apart from cultivating, Anning also thought about making money.
She asked An Xin to keep an eye on the various developments in South City.
Soon after, An Xin came looking for Anning: "Ningning, Ningning, big news!"
An Xin was extraordinarily excited while saying this; she was now eager for something to happen.
Anning chuckled: "What’s the matter? Someone wasn’t kidnapped, were they?"
"Yes, the youngest son of South City’s richest man has been kidnapped."
An Xin hopped twice, indicating that the kidnappers were currently leaving the city.
"Route."
Upon hearing this, Anning immediately headed out.
An Xin displayed the route map.
Anning looked at the route map and laughed.
The kidnappers were really walking into a trap.
Turns out, the kidnappers’ path included a warehouse Anning had just rented.
She planned to turn it into a laboratory.
The warehouse still hadn’t been sorted out yet, and Anning had originally planned to go over once it was ready, but now she had to take a look sooner.
Anning left her home and immediately used the Divine Movement Technique.
The house she rented was also in the suburbs where the population was sparse, so Anning using the Divine Movement Technique would not alarm anyone.
Anning took a shortcut to the warehouse. She had just opened the door when she heard the sound of a car approaching.
Anning curled her lips into a smile and stood by the road. With a slight motion of her right hand towards the car’s tires, a loud bang resonated, and the car swerved a few times before coming to a halt.
Anning stood by the roadside with her arms crossed, watching.
She saw a bald-headed man climb out of the car, cursing as he checked the vehicle, and upon seeing that the tire had burst, he swore a few more times before going to retrieve the spare tire.
Anning watched from a distance; the car windows were tinted, so she couldn’t see inside.
Closing her eyes, she released her Divine Sense to observe and saw a boy around the age of ten inside the car, his mouth sealed with tape, held down in the back seat by a kidnapper.
Fear filled the boy’s eyes, his face was turning blue, seeming to have difficulty breathing.
Anning’s brows furrowed.
This child might be ill; he should be having an episode right now.
She didn’t bother with much, directly went over and punched the kidnapper who was changing the tire, knocking him down.
The people inside the car heard the commotion, and two burly men holding machetes got down from the car. Seeing Anning, they laughed: "Ha, what a pretty little girl, our brothers are in luck today."
As they spoke, the two burly men reached out to grab Anning.
Anning dodged and with a raise of her foot, she sent each of the two burly men flying far away.
She pulled open the car door, and with an outstretched hand, she dragged out the last kidnapper. Using a clever move, she threw him to the ground and pressed his acupoints, leaving him unable to move.
Anning gently took the child out of the car, first tearing off the tape from his mouth, then infused a strand of Spiritual Energy into his body.
With the ingress of Spiritual Energy, the child’s complexion improved a lot.
Seeing that he must have been frightened, Anning directly carried him into the warehouse.
The kidnappers realized things had gone south and wanted to run, but they found themselves unable to move, sweating profusely in their panic.
Anning took the child into the warehouse and spoke to him ever so gently: "Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person. I was organizing things here, saw that car look suspicious, so I decided to check it out and ended up saving you."
She smiled gently at the child: "Do you know your parents’ cell phone number? Hurry and call them to come pick you up."
The child was stunned for a moment, then burst into tears: "Sister, I’m so scared, I..."
"It’s alright, your sister is right here."
Anning patted the child’s back, and after his emotions calmed down a bit, she asked for his father’s cell phone number.
The child gave her a number, and Anning took out her cell phone and dialed it.
The phone was quickly answered.
The other party probably knew the child was missing; they must be desperately searching, otherwise, the phone wouldn’t have been picked up so quickly.
"Hello, is this Mr. Yin? I rescued your child by the roadside. We’re now at... Please come pick him up."
The richest man in South City is named Yin Baichuan.
Mr. Yin did not come from a prestigious background nor was he well-educated; he originally was just a bricklayer in a village. Later, because his family was very poor, he went to the city to work odd jobs.
Subsequently, he worked hard enough to become a contractor, saved some money, and bought a plot of land to build houses.
The value of the land he purchased soared later on, and he made a lot of money selling the houses. After that, he sprinted down the path of being a real estate developer.
Yin Baichuan was not just a real estate developer; his fortune was especially good, or maybe it was just that he was very astute and had a keen business sense. In the years when the internet was on the rise, he also invested in the internet industry and video game companies, making a fortune from every investment.
When the people of South City talk about Yin Baichuan, it isn’t so much about how much money he has, but how incredibly good his luck is.
Yin Baichuan had great financial luck, but not so much with his children.
He married relatively early, as was common in the countryside, with weddings taking place around seventeen or eighteen years of age. Yin Baichuan was no exception; he became a father at the age of eighteen.
However, his eldest son was born ill and passed away at the age of seven or eight.
Yin Baichuan and his wife cried countless times over this.
Later, the couple had a daughter, but there were problems with her intelligence.
Even so, the two spoiled their daughter immensely.
Just when Yin Baichuan had lost all hope, his wife became pregnant again, and this time their youngest son, Yin Xuyang, was born.
This youngest son was just a bit frail and prone to hypoglycemia; otherwise, there was truly nothing wrong.
What’s key is that the child was extremely smart, learning everything quickly. At just nine years old, he was already in fifth grade. Besides his studies, he also practiced calligraphy and play the piano.
Coming from humble origins, what Yin Baichuan admired most were those who were educated.
His son was so intelligent that Yin Baichuan was both proud and overjoyed, utterly indulgent with him.
The couple truly regarded this child as the apple of their eye.
This time, when Yin Baichuan discovered his son was missing, he was both anxious and furious, while his wife had already cried herself into a tearful mess.
He was busy seeking help to find his son when he received a call saying someone had rescued his child and was asking him to come over.
Yin Baichuan transformed his worries into joys and immediately called out to his wife: "Stop crying, someone just phoned saying they rescued our Yangyang by the roadside, we need to hurry and go pick up our child."
On hearing this, his wife moved even quicker than he did, immediately pulling him out the door to run.
