My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 166 She Has a Guess

The two parted ways and went to their respective residences.

For five consecutive days, Sheng Jian was not at the Marquis's residence. When he returned, he was seen with dark circles under his eyes, holding a stack of silver notes and smiling.

Watching from afar, Baihu Yaoyao thought, "Tsk tsk, to get 100,000 taels of silver to curry favor with the Crown Prince, they actually gambled and borrowed money at exorbitant interest rates? Don't they want to live?"

Sheng Jian was the Marquis of Wen'an, a court official. If the emperor found out about his gambling and borrowing money, he would be severely punished.

The Western Moon Kingdom has a rule that all government officials are strictly prohibited from gambling, and violators will be severely punished.

At this moment, Ouyang Jing walked out from the shadows and said, "Miss, these are the IOU for the money Sheng Jian borrowed and the mortgage documents he signed during the gambling."

"Let me see what he mortgaged."

When Bai Hu Yaoyao took the mortgage document and looked at it, she almost burst out laughing.

"Has the Marquis of Wen'an lost his mind? Does he really have no assets left, that he actually mortgaged the Marquis of Wen'an's mansion?"

"Go and find someone to come to the Marquis of Wen'an's residence to take back the house."

The mansion of the Marquis of Wen'an was a gift from the Emperor. Although it could be bought and sold, it was not used as collateral for gambling.

If the emperor finds out, in addition to the previous offenses, he will also be charged with disrespecting imperial authority.

That's enough to kill Sheng Jian ten or eight times over.

"I'm going now." Ouyang Jing disappeared.

In a good mood, Bai Hu Yaoyao went to the largest restaurant in the capital.

Bang!
"Second Uncle, I've come to find you."

White Fox Yaoyao kicked open the door to the room.

"What the hell! You brat, what are you doing?" Sheng Zhan shuddered in fright and quickly covered his upper body with his clothes.

Doesn't this brat knock before entering a man's room?
"Ouch! I'm going blind! Second Uncle, why aren't you wearing clothes in broad daylight?"

The white fox Yaoyao covered her eyes, peeking out through her fingers.

My second uncle has a really good physique!

He's almost forty years old, but he doesn't look old at all; in fact, he has the charm of a middle-aged man.

He looks slim in clothes but has a muscular physique when undressed. He's not super skinny, but rather has a bit of meat on his bones, and even has abs and a V-line.

He's definitely a male model.

Sheng Zhan was speechless, gritting his teeth in anger, "Covering your eyes is no different than not covering them at all, so why are you still covering them?"

“Your second uncle is injured and is treating his wounds. How am I supposed to get dressed? Who knew that a girl like you would barge into a man’s room like this?”

"Don't you know shame?"

Sheng Zhan quickly dressed, his white undershirt stained with blood, the collar open, revealing a large expanse of his chest muscles.

Bai Hu Yaoyao stopped being infatuated and asked, "You're injured? What happened?"

"It's nothing, just a superficial injury."

With his status, it would be strange if he didn't get assassinated ten or eight times a day.

Over the past decade or so, he had long since become accustomed to being assassinated.

"Let me see." Bai Hu Yaoyao took his wrist to check his pulse.

After taking his pulse, he blinked and said, "Second Uncle, do you have kidney deficiency?"

Bang!
The white fox Yaoyao was tapped on the forehead.

"Your second uncle is perfectly fine! What kidney deficiency?" Sheng Zhan muttered to himself, how could this brat say anything like that?
Ever since I woke up more than ten years ago, I have found that I have no interest in women.

The old master of the Divine Healer Valley said that he had lost a part of his memory and that his body had been severely damaged in the past, so he might really be unable to marry and have children.

So all these years he has focused on his own work and has not gotten married.

He had no wife or children, so he had no attachments. He was ruthless and merciless in his actions, which led the people of the Mantuo Empire to call him the Living Yama.

“I’m not lying. Second Uncle’s health is severely depleted, and he has suffered many internal injuries over the years, so it’s normal for him to have kidney deficiency.” Bai Hu Yaoyao muttered, rubbing her forehead which had been throbbing from being hit.

I wonder how my second uncle has managed all these years all by himself?
It's so heartbreaking.

Bai Hu Yaoyao clutched her chest. How could she feel sorry for her second uncle?
She didn't reject her second uncle when she first met him.

The two hit it off immediately and became very close. Suddenly, a terrible thought popped into Bai Hu Yaoyao's mind.

"Second Uncle, have you ever been to the Western Moon Kingdom before?"

Second Uncle was a bit older than Sheng Jian. When Sheng Jian married his mother, Second Uncle was already an adult man.

What if the man who consummated his marriage with his mother was his second uncle?
If that's the case, then how come her second uncle doesn't remember her mother?
Sheng Zhan shook his head uncertainly, "I'm not sure. I have no memory of more than ten years ago. When I woke up more than ten years ago, I was in the Valley of Divine Healers. It was the old Valley Master who saved me."

Bai Hu Yaoyao's heart pounded wildly. "Second Uncle, I can help you regain your memories."

If what she thinks is true, then the second uncle in front of her is her father!
Sheng Zhan looked at her suspiciously, "How can a little girl like you help me regain my memories?"

"Just tell me whether you want to regain your memories."

Only by helping him regain his memory can she be sure that it's not what she thinks.

"Yes, I do! Without my past memories, I always feel like something is missing, like I've lost something important. If you can help me regain my memories, Uncle, thank you."

For the past ten years or so, he has always felt that something is missing in his heart.

Whenever he tries to remember something, he gets a splitting headache, so he hasn't wanted to think about anything for the past few years.

But when I wake up in the middle of the night, I always feel like something is missing in my heart.

"That's fine."

The white fox spirit Yaoyao channeled her spiritual power and touched his brow with her finger.

The recovery technique in the Five Elements Arts helps repair the nerves throughout the body, including the brain nerves, making it easy for people to regain their memories.

Before long, beads of sweat appeared on Sheng Zhan's face, and his hands gripped the armrests of the chair tightly.

It seemed like they were trying their best to endure something.

In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the white fox Yaoyao withdrew her healing spell.

Sheng Zhan seemed to be trapped in an illusion, sometimes with a face full of anger, sometimes with tender affection, and sometimes with heartache and tears.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze towards the white fox Yaoyao became exceptionally gentle.

"Little Yao'er." Sheng Zhan's hands trembled as he reached out to touch her face.

Bai Hu Yaoyao was completely certain that this was her biological father.

"You remember me? You're my father?"

Her answer was confirmed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Sheng Zhan nodded emphatically, "Yes! My child."

The white fox Yaoyao was embraced by a strong chest, and listening to that powerful heartbeat, she felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.

This is different from the sense of security she feels from her brother and husband.

My father is like a mountain.

"Father, tell me, what exactly happened?"

Why was Father locked in the secret room of the Marquis's mansion by Sheng Jian back then?

He found out it himself; he was taken away and raised by a midwife when he was a child.

He discovered that he was from the Marquis's mansion, but he forgot about his past with his mother.

"What I found is that I was taken away and raised by a midwife when I was a child..."

After Sheng Zhan was taken away by the midwife, she took him away from the capital and they lived in a small village.

The midwife happened to have no son of her own, so she raised him as her own son.

Later, when the midwife fell ill and passed away, she told him about her origins.

Sheng Zhan decided to go to the Marquis's residence to recognize his relatives; he was already over ten years old at that time.

Upon arriving at the Marquis's residence, he was immediately seized by the old lady and locked in a dark room.

He was tortured in the dark room, but they wouldn't let him die.

There was another person locked in the dark room with him at the time, the young master of the Divine Doctor Valley.
