Chapter 773 - 750 Baiming City (1/3)
Under Yin’s somewhat unclear explanation, Grandpa Hu finally let his guard down around Zhou Heng, but it was impossible for him to fully trust Zhou Heng.
"Grandpa Hu, what exactly happened? Who did this?" Zhou Heng asked. He was no longer the young boy who had just left Origin Stone Town, but his passion had never changed.
He couldn’t possibly right every injustice in the world, but if he stumbled upon one, he would certainly see it through.
"All I know is that it was done by people from Baiming City... They took away Yin’s mother!" Grandpa Hu hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.
The man in front of him was able to save his severely injured self from the brink of death without leaving a single scar—such ability was nothing short of miraculous! Perhaps, he could seek justice for the unjustly deceased villagers.
"Grandpa, what about my dad?" Yin’s dim eyes brightened.
"Your dad..." Grandpa Hu sighed, "is dead!"
Zhou Heng looked at Grandpa Hu, sensing that the old man seemed to be hiding something. There must be some hidden secret for the killers to have slaughtered the village and yet taken one person away.
Yin immediately burst into loud crying again. Grandpa Hu comforted the little girl, then looked at Zhou Heng and said, "Yin’s mother is not from the village; she seems to know those people!"
Zhou Heng nodded. It was clear that the evildoers came for Yin’s mother, and the killing and arson seemed like acts of venting fury.
But could ordinary villagers have provoked them? How innocent they were!
