Urban Cultivation: Starting with Winning Back My Wife and Daughter

Half an hour later, Wang Xingyu put down his phone and snapped his fingers near Xiao Gang's ear.

Xiao Gang slowly opened his eyes. He was dazed at first, but then, as if waking from a dream, his gaze became clear.

Wang Xingyu asked, "Xiao Gang, how are you feeling?"

Xiao Gang shook his head, his eyes suddenly turning red, and tears streamed down his face as he cried out excitedly, "They're big bad guys! They killed my best friend! Waaah..."

Sun Dasheng, who was outside the door, put down his teacup, stood up abruptly, and said, "Old Huang, did you hear that? It's Xiaogang speaking."

Huang Qingyang made a shushing gesture and said, "Listen carefully again."

Sun Dasheng immediately pressed his ear to the door.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xingyu opened the ward door with a bang, almost tripping Sun Dasheng.

"Dr. Wang, how is my grandson?"

Sun Dasheng steadied himself and quickly asked.

Wang Xingyu said, "It should be alright now."

"grandfather."

Xiao Gang ran out from behind Wang Xingyu and buried his face in Sun Dasheng's arms, crying his heart out.

Sun Dasheng, holding his grandson, was also overcome with tears.

More than a year has passed, and the nightmare is finally over.

Once the grandfather and grandson had calmed down, Wang Xingyu asked Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, tell your uncle, what exactly happened that scared you so much?"

Xiao Gang wiped away his tears and told them what had happened.

It turns out that after he was separated from his grandparents, he met an aunt.

The aunt said she could take him to see his grandparents, so he went with her.

By the time he realized something was wrong and tried to escape, it was too late.

For the next month or so, Xiaogang and more than a dozen other children were transported to a dilapidated factory.

One of the children, who was a year older than Xiaogang, tried to escape but was caught and brought back.

In front of all the children, those bastards tortured the child to death with the cruelest punishments.

Xiao Gang suffered a great shock, which caused him to develop mental problems.

"Grandpa, they are all terrible people. Xiaolong was beaten black and blue, his arms and legs were cut off, boohoo..."

After hearing Xiao Gang's story, Huang Qingyang slammed his fist on the table and roared, "These bastards should be sentenced to death. No, they should be skinned alive!"

It's too bloody!

Let alone a five-year-old child, even an adult would probably find it unbearable to see that scene.

Sun Dasheng said viciously, "We've only caught most of the human traffickers, and the ringleader hasn't been caught yet, but his appearance and identity have already been made public. When I get back, I'll have my son issue a huge reward. No matter what, I'll make this bastard pay a heavy price."

Wang Xingyu said, "That's all for the future. The most important task now is to get Xiaogang fully recovered."

Sun Dasheng's expression changed, and he said, "Xiao Gang, do you have any more questions?"

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "Old Sun, you don't need to be too nervous. The little guy's soul has recovered, but his body is too thin, which is a sign of severe malnutrition. You'd better find a top nutritionist to help him get some nutrition to avoid affecting his development."

Upon hearing this, Sun Dasheng breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and said, "I'll go see a nutritionist this afternoon. Thank you, Dr. Wang."

As he spoke, he stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Xingyu.

Wang Xingyu quickly stepped aside, saying, "That won't do. I charge for my treatments. How can I accept payment after you've pulled this stunt?"

Sun Dasheng laughed and said, "Give me an account, and I'll have my family transfer ten million to you right away."

"That's more like it."

Wang Xingyu took out his phone, found his account, and had Sun Dasheng take a picture of it.

While Sun Dasheng was sending the message, Huang Qingyang asked, "Xiao Wang, this child is malnourished, can he drink this 'immortal tea'?"

Wang Xingyu was slightly taken aback; he hadn't really thought about this. He said, "Yes, it's possible. Immortal Tea contains rich spiritual energy and is one of the best tonics in the world. However, the tea is bitter, and children might not be able to drink it."

"Then let's give it a try."

Huang Qingyang took out a new cup and poured a cup for Xiaogang.

Since twenty minutes had passed, the water temperature in the teapot was just right.

"Xiao Gang, try this cup of tea."

Xiao Gang looked at Sun Dasheng, who had just sent the message, and Sun Dasheng nodded slightly.

"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Uncle."

Xiao Gang was very polite; he took the teacup and took a sip.

First, he wrinkled his nose, seemingly not liking it very much. Then his eyes lit up, he took another sip, and finally finished the whole cup of tea.

Xiao Gang exhaled and said, "It feels so good. I feel a current of energy darting around inside my body like a little mouse. Grandpa, I love this tea."

Sun Dasheng asked, "Dr. Wang, could you sell me some of the Immortal Tea? I can offer a higher price."

Wang Xingyu held up two fingers and said, "I can only sell you two ounces of immortal tea at most, for a price of two million. That's no more."

Sun Dasheng said happily, "No problem."

Wang Xingyu spread his hands and said, "I don't have any right now, you'll have to wait until tomorrow. Also, if Xiaogang drinks the Immortal Tea every day, he can eat whatever he wants. Don't give him any more special supplements. Drinking the tea for half a month is better than eating anything else. As the saying goes, 'the weak cannot tolerate too much supplementation,' too much supplementation is not a good thing either."

Sun Dasheng nodded and said, "Understood."

Huang Qingyang complained, "Xiao Wang, your tea is good, but it can only be brewed once, which is such a waste."

Wang Xingyu laughed and said, "Spiritual energy will completely dissolve when it comes into contact with water, there's nothing we can do about it."

Huang Qingyang pointed to the teapot and said, "Then brew another pot."

Wang Xingyu chuckled and said, "You really don't hold back, old man."

Even so, Wang Xingyu still brewed him a pot of tea.

However, Xiao Gang drank at least half of it.

After drinking half a pot of tea, Xiao Gang's previously pale face regained a rosy glow, which pleased Sun Dasheng greatly.

Soon, Wang Xingyu received a text message on his phone indicating a bank transfer of ten million yuan.

Seeing that the money had arrived, Sun Dasheng took the little guy and said goodbye.

Huang Qingyang asked, "Little Wang, do you know who Old Sun's son is?"

Wang Xingyu shook his head and said, "How would I know?"

Huang Qingyang said, "It's Sun Zhong, the mayor of Xingyun City."

Wang Xingyu said in surprise, "I saw it online that Sun Zhong is 45 years old this year, the youngest mayor in the history of Xingyun City, and his future is limitless. Mr. Huang, please don't say that Xiao Gang is Mayor Sun's son."

Huang Qingyang laughed and said, "Can't you have children at thirty-nine?"

Wang Xingyu paused for a moment, then said, "That's true. But what about his ten million? It couldn't have been embezzled by Mayor Sun, could it?"

Huang Qingyang said irritably, "If he really embezzled the money, would he dare to spend it so blatantly? Old Sun has a son and a daughter, both outstanding individuals. His daughter's name is Sun Ling. She went into business more than ten years ago and is now the president of Hailu Electric Appliances Group."

Wang Xingyu suddenly realized: "Oh, it's her."

Wang Xingyu had heard of Sun Ling, the president of Hailu Electric Group.

She is Lin Yuxi's idol, nicknamed the invincible Iron Lady of the East, and founded the Hailu Electric Appliances Group at the age of 24.

Over the course of ten years, she successfully defeated more than a dozen domestic and foreign competitors, capturing about 40 percent of the domestic market share in air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, and other products.

When Wang Xingyu and Lin Yuxi got married, their house was filled with Hailu appliances.

Huang Qingyang patted him on the shoulder and sighed, "Ten million is nothing compared to the favor the Sun family has done for us. Xiao Wang, don't you feel like you've lost out big time?"

Wang Xingyu spread his hands and said, "Old Huang, I have no interest in politics, business, or the military. What use do you think the Sun family's connections are to me?"

Huang Qingyang chuckled and said, "You're invincible because you have no desires."

Wang Xingyu shook his head and said quietly, "Everyone has desires, but my desires are too great, so great that there is no one in the world who shares the same path."

On Fengyue Star, there are cultivators everywhere who pursue immortality, and Daoist Qingye is not alone.

But on Earth, Wang Xingyu was the only one; no one else even had the right to pursue him. The saddest part was that he couldn't tell anyone, which made him feel somewhat lonely.

Upon hearing his words, Huang Qingyang was deeply shocked, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Who exactly is this kid?

What do you really want in your heart?

Is his situation really as simple as the information suggests?

Having lived most of his life, this was the first time Huang Qingyang had encountered such a mysterious young man as Wang Xingyu.
