But with the sound of helicopters, Fang Zhiyi had no time to deal with it. The commotion this time was quite big; even the country's air force had been deployed.
Fortunately, with Little Hei's observation, Fang Zhiyi evaded the searches time and time again.
"Welcome to the apocalypse!" On the other side of the ocean, Meng Bufan nervously watched the time. In his previous life, it was exactly at this moment that a person carrying a virus stepped off a plane.
He began to arm himself, locking the three layers of security doors he had installed one by one, anxiously waiting for the chaos to begin.
"This time I am fully prepared! Bring it on!"
However, he waited from morning until afternoon and didn't hear any news about chaos. Instead, he received two calls demanding loan repayments.
"Could I have remembered the time wrong? Impossible." Meng Bufan started to get a little anxious. "Maybe I really did get it wrong."
But he waited until dark, and then until dawn again, and the streets outside were still bustling with people, showing not the slightest sign of chaos.
Meng Bufan slapped himself hard across the face. "No problem! It will definitely happen! The apocalypse is definitely coming!" He had made so many preparations; if the apocalypse didn't arrive, he didn't even dare to imagine how he would face his massive debts!
While he was constantly muttering to himself, an exhausted Fang Zhiyi got off the plane.
Only, he immediately bought a domestic flight ticket and left the place again on the same day.
In the blink of an eye, over ten days passed. The apocalypse Meng Bufan had been anticipating never arrived. At this moment, his door was being pounded on loudly.
"Come out! I can't believe you wrecked my house like this!!! Come out!"
Meng Bufan stared in horror. "This isn't right. How could this be? It shouldn't be like this! Where is the apocalypse? Did I make a mistake somewhere?"
He fell into a spiral of self-doubt. Was there no apocalypse at all? Was it all just a dream?
No! Fang Zhiyi had appeared, so it definitely wasn't a dream! He had seen him with his own eyes!
What exactly went wrong?
He began to frantically recall his memories, but the more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He had no idea where the problem lay.
There was another commotion outside the door.
"Listen up, you in there, open the door immediately! We received a report that you are suspected of illegally damaging the building's structure! You're the one who messed with the basement in the parking lot downstairs, right? Open up!"
Seeing that the person inside was taking too long to come out, the police outside simply chose to have a locksmith open the door.
Meng Bufan's phone also rang. A fierce and vicious voice came from the other end: "Kid, you better pay back the money quickly, or you can wait to be exposed! We'll let your family see what kind of trash you really are!"
Family? Meng Bufan's hands began to tremble.
Just yesterday, some of his relatives had called asking him for money, and had even told his parents about the situation.
"Son, are your expenses really that high? She is a young lady from a wealthy family; why don't I come and take care of her instead?"
"Why aren't you answering the phone? Your dad and I have already agreed; we'll buy tickets to come see you tomorrow. If things look good, we'll finalize your marriage."
"Why did you borrow so much money? You're not lying to your parents, are you?"
Message after message left Meng Bufan without even the courage to take a second glance.
At this moment, his door was thrown open, and several people rushed in and pinned him down.
"Impossible! How did you get in!" Meng Bufan was shocked. This wasn't right! He had spent a fortune custom-making those three layers of security doors!
The locksmith responsible for opening the door stared at him in disgust. "These three shoddy doors? Let alone me, even an apprentice could pick them."
"Shoddy... doors?"
Before he could think further, a police officer walked up to him. "You are suspected of damaging public architecture and endangering the lives and property of others. Come with us right now!"
"Hey? What about my house?" The landlord was also anxious; he had no idea this tenant could pull off something like this.
"We'll handle things one at a time."
"What about me? This kid borrowed a lot of money from us, hasn't paid back a dime, and tried to pull a disappearing act!" a young man shouted.
"If you hadn't spoken up, I would have forgotten about you. You come with us too. You're a loan shark, right?"
"Paying back debts is perfectly justified!"
"Cut the crap!"
Fang Chengci's exams were also over. As expected, he did terribly, but he didn't care at all. He simply reached out and asked Fang Jianshu for money, saying he wanted to go out and play. Although money was tight, Fang Jianshu couldn't bear to let his precious son suffer, so he still took out some cash and gave it to him.
He tried calling Fang Zhiyi a few times, only to find that the call couldn't be connected.
"Bastard! Rebellious son! He changed his number and didn't even tell me!" He was a bit angry, but could only curse a few words under his breath.
Now Fang Jianshu felt a bit of regret. It wasn't that he regretted his favoritism, but rather that he regretted severing ties with Fang Zhiyi in a fit of anger. Seeing that he was now capable of making money, how could he have been so foolish!
With Fang Zhiyi around, he could help support his younger brother, and he and his wife would have a much easier time, wouldn't they?
After spending the entire afternoon in frustration, Fang Jianshu heard the sound of the door opening. He turned his head. "You're back, son. What do you want to eat..."
He saw a miserable-looking Fang Chengci, along with bruises on his face.
"Who hit you??" Fang Jianshu asked, a trace of anger in his tone.
"I did!" A burly man walked in from behind Fang Chengci. "You're his dad, right? This kid knocked over my mom and tried to run away!"
Fang Jianshu was stunned. This scene looked awfully familiar!
He instantly flew into a rage. "Trying to extort our family again? Huh? Do you have no shame? You're just targeting our family to scam, aren't you? Son! Did you hit his mom?"
Fang Chengci hesitated for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly. "No, I just..."
"Did you hear that! My son said no!"
"You people are trying to deny it, huh?" The burly man grabbed Fang Chengci by the collar and scolded.
"Let go of my son!"
This action enraged Fang Jianshu. He grabbed a vase nearby and lunged forward. The burly man was caught off guard by the strike, but fortunately, he had brought helpers, and the situation quickly devolved into chaos.
By the time a neighbor helped call the police and the officers arrived, Fang Jianshu's eyes were red with fury. He was holding a kitchen knife, confronting the burly man whose head was bleeding, constantly cursing out three generations of the man's ancestors.
"Why is it you guys again?" The police officer was exasperated. "Put the knife down!"
They were first sent to the hospital before anyone started asking what exactly happened. With the help of the police, they found the surveillance footage of the incident.
The footage clearly showed Fang Chengci speeding out on an electric bike and knocking down an old lady. He didn't even stop to look; instead, he frantically picked up his bike and fled, only to be pinned down by the burly man not far away.
The old lady was sent to the hospital, and the burly man dragged him home to find his parents.
"Wait, he really hit someone?" Fang Jianshu still had a look of sheer disbelief on his face.
"Hit someone? You also assaulted someone! They are doing an injury assessment over there right now, so you just sit tight and wait! What is wrong with this family!"

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
nd fell into a coma while saving his younger sister from an out-of-control car. He became a vegetable. No one knew that his consciousness had crossed into a world of cultivation. Over the course of sixty years, he began as the lowest kind of mine slave, struggling to survive amid mountains of corpses and seas of blood. By sheer chance, he eventually obtained the complete memories of a fallen Immortal King. Alchemy, medicine, formations, feng shui, physiognomy, artifact forging… Every great inheritance of the cultivation world was now his. But when he opened his eyes again, he discovered that ten full years had passed in the modern world. To pay for his treatment, his father had sold the family’s shop and house, leaving himself covered in lasting injuries and illness. His mother had cared for him day and night, and more than half of her hair had already turned white. His younger sister, who had been only fifteen back then, was now twenty-five. To help repay the family’s debts, she had been forced to lower her head and put on a smiling face in places of glittering lights and endless revelry. Only then did Chen Xuan understand that what he had lost was not merely ten years. He had lost the life his entire family was meant to have. The good news was that he had brought back the memories of an Immortal King’s entire lifetime. The bad news was that his soul had returned alone—his cultivation had not come with him. Spiritual energy was scarce, resources were depleted, and the modern world still had firearms, surveillance, capital, and laws. If he wanted to protect his family, break free from everyone’s control, and become truly invincible beneath the heavens, he would have to start all over again.
