Chapter 124: Money Printing Machine

Ning Zhe held Yin Lishang's hand and walked along the path in the fields. The emerald green rice fields stretched from his feet to the horizon.

The farmland in the Yun Province plain had long ago achieved large-scale mechanized farming. The residents in Yanglao Village didn't farm the land themselves, at most planting some vegetables and fruits in front of and behind their own houses. The farmland in the villagers' homes was contracted to grain enterprises for unified planning and farming.

It was already morning when Ning Zhe took Yin Lishang away from Yanglao Village. A drone spraying pesticides flew in from the blue-washed horizon, skimming over the boundless emerald green fields with the summer wind. The airflow stirred up by the wings set off waves of green on the ground.

"Hurry up, the insecticide is going to fall on our heads." Yin Lishang pulled Ning Zhe's sleeve, and the two of them ran across the field ridge together, leaving the rice fields and coming to the side of the big road.

Beneath a road sign bearing the words "Yanglao Station" sat a flashy purple sedan. A young man wearing a Zhongshan suit poked half his body out of the car window, the buttons on his clothes meticulously fastened all the way to the collar, and waved at Ning Zhe: "Hi! Over here~"

Ning Zhe came to the car. Yin Lishang nervously hid behind him, only quietly poking out half a head and one eye to carefully look at the car in front of her and the person in the car.

Lan Shiwen opened the car door and handed Ning Zhe a bottle of Coke: "Congratulations, you came out alive. I knew you weren't simple."

"Let's have less of this kind of polite talk." Ning Zhe took the Coke, pulled the tab with a *chhh* sound, and handed the cold Coke can to Yin Lishang behind him.

Yin Lishang took the Coke with both hands, her eyes shining with happiness. She liked sweets the most. But because of her poor health since she was a child, her diet had always been strictly managed by her grandmother. The meals were light, not to mention that other people's summer memories might be watermelon, mung bean ice, orange soda, etc., but Yin Lishang's childhood memories were all Chinese medicine-flavored. Every time she thought about it, she felt bitter.

"Brother, c-can I drink it?" Yin Lishang held the cold Coke can she had just taken from the car's freezer with both hands, and asked in a low voice, a bit uncertain.

Ning Zhe patted her head: "Drink it."

Yin Lishang narrowed her eyes with happiness, holding the Coke and sucking it happily. The sweet taste diluted the strange taste of the talisman water her grandmother had fed her in the morning. Carbonated bubbles jumped on the tip of her tongue, bringing a slight stinging sensation to her mouth. The taste was a bit different from the orange soda she had drunk when she was a child, but it was all sweet. Sweet drinks were good to drink, and it was even better when iced.

*Gulp, gulp*, Yin Lishang soon drank the whole can of Coke. The carbon dioxide puffed up her small belly, and she couldn't help but burp.

"Ah..." Yin Lishang blushed instantly, hiding behind Ning Zhe, not daring to see anyone. After a while, finding that no one was laughing at her, she quietly poked her head out again and looked up at Ning Zhe's side face.

This look was not a small matter. At this time, Yin Lishang was shocked to find that at some point, a ferocious and hideous ghost mask had appeared on her brother's face. She didn't know when it was put on, which gave her a fright.

Lan Shiwen looked at the girl's startled appearance with a smile, and beneath his gentle gaze was murderous intent that couldn't be hidden.

"The remnants of the family, they deserve to die." Lan Shiwen looked at Ning Zhe's face and asked slowly:

"I don't care at all about what you got in Yanglao Village. I won't covet anything of yours. No matter what you got, that's what you got by your own ability. But, this person cannot live. She is a person of the Yin family, the daughter of Yin Wuxie. Anyone born in a hereditary family is not qualified to live, whether it is this little girl or a baby who has just been born. They are not qualified to breathe. So... you do it, or should I?"

"If you are afraid of dirtying your hands, I can do it for you." Lan Shiwen continued: "What do you think?"

Ning Zhe chuckled: "You got it wrong, Lan Shiwen."

"I got it wrong?" Lan Shiwen frowned, unsure of what he was talking about.

"Yes, you got it wrong." Ning Zhe hugged Yin Lishang's slender and soft shoulders with one hand, lifted the long bangs covering half of her face, and revealed an ugly face covered in abscesses and red spots: "She is not a person of the Yin family, but a ghost of the Yin family." "Ghost..." Lan Shiwen narrowed his eyes, looking at the girl in Ning Zhe's arms with interest.

Yin Lishang curled up in her brother's arms, too scared to move.

"I understand." Lan Shiwen nodded: "It is rumored that the Yin family has been trying to find a way to control ghosts once and for all... so it is true."

After pondering for a moment, Lan Shiwen let out a long breath: "If this is the case, I suggest you come with me."

"Why?" Ning Zhe's eyes showed vigilance.

"You made a deal with Wealth God in Yanglao Village, right?" Lan Shiwen said with a straight face: "I can feel that you don't have even 1 life-buying coin on you now. You are penniless now, which is a very dangerous state. If you want to get more life-buying coins, come with me."

Ning Zhe became interested: "Where to?"

"The factory area of Yunshan Pharmaceutical Group, on the other side of Yun City." Lan Shiwen pointed to the back car door with his eyes and said: "Do you know the nickname of Yunshan Pharmaceutical on the Gridder network? —【Money Printing Machine】. If you are willing to share some information about Yanglao Village with me, I would be very happy to 'print money' for you."

Ning Zhe hesitated for a moment and accepted his proposal: "Okay, but it will be in a few days. I have to settle this ghost first."

"Okay." Ning Zhe's answer was within Lan Shiwen's expectation: "Be careful when settling it, don't cause eerie events. Of course, if you want to sell it, you can also contact me."

After saying this, seeing that Ning Zhe didn't mean to go with him, Lan Shiwen closed the car door, said goodbye politely, stepped on the accelerator, and drove away.

The siblings watched Lan Shiwen leave. After that flashy purple sedan disappeared from sight, Yin Lishang asked cautiously: "Brother, who was that person just now?"

"Someone who wants to kill you." Ning Zhe said: "Do you remember the zombie movies we watched together when we were young? Just like the Taoist priest Zheng Ying who raised little zombies in the movies, there are also people in the world who can control ghosts. Lan Shiwen is such a person."

"Oh..." Yin Lishang nodded half-understanding: "Does he hate me very much?"

"He hates everyone in our family. Our Dad and Mom, and Grandmother and Grandfather... were all killed by him." Ning Zhe put down Yin Lishang's bangs, covering the ugly face again, and continued: "Lan Shiwen wants to kill everyone in our family, but I used a fake identity to deceive him and lied that you were a ghost I raised, so he left."

"So that's it..." Yin Lishang's face was full of the expression "So that's it, I understand completely," but in reality, she didn't understand anything.

Ning Zhe took out his phone, ready to call someone to send a car.

Yin Lishang asked again: "Then what about what that person said just now that you are penniless?"

"Very simple." Ning Zhe held his phone with one hand and touched Yin Lishang's back of the head with the other: "Because I left the remaining money at Grandmother's house."
