Chapter 788: Chapter 788

Yang Fan looked at Zhou Yingnan with a mix of laughter and exasperation, who was holding a whole glass jar full of eyeballs. "If you had taken this thing out earlier, I definitely wouldn’t have thought of other places. The way you speak, leaving people with a cliffhanger."

"Um... I’ve always spoken like this. Okay, it’s indeed my fault," Zhou Yingnan laughed helplessly. "I think I should first clarify what the situation is, and then talk about these important things."

"With this thing here, it definitely wasn’t done by animals." Yang Fan reached out to open the glass jar and took out an eyeball from inside. "Whose eyeball is this?"

Originally huddled on either side of Yang Fan, Fan Sisi and Yun Miaoyi were instantly scared off to the side by Yang Fan’s action. Yun Miaoyi even shouted, "Fanzi, just look, why take that thing out? Throw it back in quickly."

"It’s okay, this thing won’t scare me," Yang Fan said.

He wanted to add that he had eaten a lot, but fearing it might gross them out, he held back.

Indeed, he had eaten quite a few.

He used to find this thing terrifying, but after being persuaded to try it once, he found it surprisingly tasty.

Pig eyeballs were average, but lamb eyeballs covered with rich sauce, that taste was truly not bad.

"I think it looks human," Zhou Yingnan said.

"I’ve checked some things recently, compared about twenty to thirty types of animal eyes, and finally found, these eyeballs are most similar to human, no, to be precise, they are exactly the same."

Yang Fan stared at the eyeball in his hand, its surface dried and shriveled with some membrane, "It really looks like a human’s. What kind of animal eyeballs are the same as humans’?"

"Monkeys, especially rhesus monkeys, also gorillas, are closest to humans. But they are just similar, not identical. Based on what I’ve checked, I can basically conclude, this should be a human eyeball," Zhou Yingnan said.

Yang Fan leaned closer, seriously observing the eyeball without missing any details. "Let’s assume this is really a human eyeball, where did so many eyeballs come from? If so many people suddenly lost their eyes, this would definitely be a big case, right? Or... has it been suppressed."

"Miss Zhou, I can give this a try, but it’ll cost. This matter seems not simple. Honestly, the things on Li Mountain left me with aftereffects that haven’t gone away yet. I really don’t want to deal with such things for the time being, but it’s just that you happened to encounter this, so it seems inappropriate for me to see it and do nothing."

"The money is not an issue," Zhou Yingnan said.

Yang Fan smiled and waved his hand, "You misunderstood. I didn’t mean to ask for more from you. I was just saying. My injuries have just healed, and now seeing these things, I feel a bit cowardly."

Zhou Yingnan indeed thought that at first, but remembering the miserable state when she first met Yang Fan, she realized she misunderstood, "I see, then how about you introduce someone to me?"

"Let me see first." Yang Fan tossed the eyeball back into the glass jar and suddenly said, "With so many eyeballs, if given to those involved in organ trafficking, they should be worth a lot of money. Yet they’ve been used as tools to smash glass. What’s the thinking behind this, and what’s the purpose?"

The more you think about the matter Zhou Yingnan encountered, the more mysterious it becomes.

No matter what the other party is, there must be a certain purpose for doing this.

But now Zhou Yingnan is fine, not affected at all.

On the contrary, they sacrificed so many eyeballs, this is... just very unreasonable.

"Boss Yang, roughly how much would this job cost?" Zhou Yingnan asked again.

Yang Fan was immersed in his thoughts, casually replied, "Just give a big few thousand as a hardship fee, how about that?"

"You are so casual, how about you give a specific amount." Zhou Yingnan said with a wry smile.

Such a vague range, she found difficult to offer.

"A token of goodwill will do, we’ll have more opportunities to interact in the future," Yang Fan said. "Depending on your situation, if you have plenty of money, giving tens of thousands is fine. If you’re average, five or six thousand will do, if you’re broke, giving nothing is okay too, just help me get some herbs in the future, it’s the same."

Finally found a channel with ample herbs, a little effort now will make future business easier.

Zhou Yingnan nodded, "I understand."

"Looks like we can’t leave today, I’ll stay tonight and see what kind of thing it really is," Yang Fan considered and instructed, "Old Wang, in a while, you first take the herbs back, and send Sisi and Miao Yi back together."

"Okay, I’ll deliver the goods and come back," Wang Daqiang answered crisply.

Yang Fan laughed, "You want me to storm the execution ground to save you again?"

Wang Daqiang’s face changed, muttering, "I shouldn’t be that unlucky every time, right? You definitely need an assistant doing this, don’t be polite with me, I may be cowardly generally, but I’m capable of fighting, I can actually help to some extent."

"I’m mainly worried I can’t protect you," Yang Fan said.

He indeed needed help, but he wanted someone who could really be of assistance.

The skills Wang Daqiang possessed were indeed okay, but dealing with those things was a bit lacking.

"I’ll try to be smarter, maybe I can help you," Wang Daqiang hesitated for a while, still insisted.

Fan Sisi also persuaded from the side, "Fanzi, just let Brother Wang stay and help you, two people can watch out for each other."

"Alright, then you send them back and return," Yang Fan said.

Saying more would hurt one’s self-esteem.

Looks like he needed to come up with a method to improve Wang Daqiang’s means against those things.

Punching such things was no different from an ant trying to shake a tree.

"Fanzi, be careful yourself, if it really doesn’t work, gather people, my grandpa just left, he probably hasn’t reached home yet," Fan Sisi said worriedly. "It seems the people on Li Mountain haven’t withdrawn yet, it’s possible to call them too."

"I’ll first figure out what exactly it is, then make plans," Yang Fan said. "Physical exorcism is straightforward, but I need to know where to aim the cannon. Don’t worry, I won’t act recklessly, if I can handle it, I will, if not, I’ll immediately gather people without hesitation."

"Your grandpa has left, so let’s not bother him, but the people on Li Mountain are still here, they can’t possibly watch and do nothing about this kind of thing."

After calming the visibly anxious Fan Sisi and Yun Miaoyi, overflowing with worry, Yang Fan and Zhou Yingnan sent them down the mountain, as this place wasn’t safe now, sending them early gave Yang Fan peace of mind to carry out his tasks.

Watching the car winding down the rugged mountain road, Yang Fan and Zhou Yingnan made their way up the mountain.

Just as they returned to the straw pavilion and sat down, Zhou Yingnan suddenly brought out a black bag from inside the house.

"You didn’t hide another cliffhanger, did you?" Yang Fan asked.
