Chapter 878: Chapter 883 New Year

"If you kill me, those videos and photos will definitely be released on schedule." Compared to Lin Shihai’s fury, Yang Gang seemed quite calm.

Lin Shihai instantly deflated.

She leaned against a tree, depressingly said, "Alright, alright, I get it. Can I teach you Ice Control Skills?"

"Hehe, I’m honored to meet you, Master." Yang Gang was overjoyed.

Lin Shihai waved her hand, "Just call me Senior Sister. My Ice Control Skills are from the number one witch of Pandora... ahem. Nevermind, let’s get started right away, I still need to make a trip to Xilan."

"Xilan?"

"Yes, intelligence indicates that Shishan has smuggled himself into the Xilan Republic. I was planning to fly straight to Xilan, but somehow ended up here out of the blue."

"Oh, I see," Yang Gang didn’t think much of it.

Although he really wanted to get rid of Shishan as soon as possible, he knew that with his abilities, defeating Shishan alone was nearly impossible.

Using someone else to kill him might just be the best option.

Over the next two days, Lin Shihai began teaching Yang Gang the techniques of Ice Control, leaving him in awe.

He had never known that controlling ice could be so profound, involving rules of freezing, and even knowledge of alchemy, the structure of world elements, and other extremely mysterious concepts.

In just two days, Yang Gang could not possibly digest so much knowledge, but even the little he had learned benefited him greatly.

After haphazardly imparting a large amount of theoretical knowledge to Yang Gang and teaching him some basic operational skills, Lin Shihai left the Isolated Island.

Her departure was rather brash.

She didn’t bother with a raft but instead walked casually on the sea surface, freezing the water beneath her step by step until she disappeared from Yang Gang’s view.

After Lin Shihai left, Yang Gang stayed on the Isolated Island for half a day longer, testing the freezing effects on a common wild rabbit.

He managed to freeze the rabbit’s fur to ice with difficulty, but he couldn’t turn its flesh to ice, as living organisms have cell activity and an immune system that naturally resist external encroachment.

"Not bad, although nowhere near Lin Shihai’s power, I’m slowly mastering the technique," Yang Gang looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "It’s about time to head back."

In Hangcheng, tonight is New Year’s Eve. It’s brightly lit everywhere, with a bustling atmosphere.

The Yang’s villa is also magnificently adorned, the crystal lights spelling out ’Happy New Year’ in a spectacular display.

Despite the splendid decorations, the atmosphere at the Yang family is somewhat subdued.

The elderly lady sat at the entrance, gazing constantly at the villa’s door, her eyes full of hope.

"Grandma, it’s cold at the door, why not sit inside?" Zhang Miao came over and said.

The old lady shook her head, "I’ll sit a while longer."

After speaking, she grabbed Zhang Miao’s hand and added, "Child, our Yang family has wronged Gangzi."

"Grandma..."

The old lady shook her head, "Let me speak."

She tried to compose herself and continued, "Gangzi has lived outside by himself for twenty years, never experiencing parental love. Even if he hates us, he would be justified. But Gangzi doesn’t hate us; instead, he goes out of his way to protect us. Sometimes, I really don’t know how I can make it up to Gangzi."

The old lady became somewhat emotional, her words a bit disorganized.

She took a deep breath and calmed down again, holding Zhang Miao’s hand, and said further, "Miao Miao, I truly appreciate you all. Thank you for accompanying him as he grew up, meeting you was the luckiest encounter of his life."

"Uh, Grandma, meeting Gangzi was also the luckiest encounter of my life," Zhang Miao said lightly.

"Do you really think so?"

Zhang Miao smiled and breathed deeply, then said, "Grandma, you might not believe it if I tell you. If I hadn’t met Gangzi, I might not be in this world anymore..."

The old lady gripped Zhang Miao’s hand tightly, shaking her head, "Child, let’s not talk about it. Let past misfortunes pass."

"Yes," Zhang Miao composed herself, nodded, and smiled.

She stopped talking and just looked towards the villa’s entrance.

At that moment, her cellphone suddenly rang.

Zhang Miao looked at the caller ID, then smiled and said, "Grandma, I’m going to take a call."

"Hmm, go ahead," the elderly lady nodded.

Zhang Miao then went to a secluded place and pressed the answer button.

"What’s up? Something the matter?" Zhang Miao asked indifferently.

There was a silence on the other end of the phone.

"If there’s nothing, then I’ll hang up first," Zhang Miao added.

"Miao Miao, wait a moment!" Finally, the person on the other line spoke up.

It was a call from Xiao Haotian.

"I didn’t expect you would answer my call," Xiao Haotian was quite surprised.

"Well, you are Little Xi’s brother, after all. Besides, I have no reason to avoid you, right?" Zhang Miao said.

"Haha, is it because of the ’Little Xi’s brother’ thing?" Xiao Haotian’s voice sounded very desolate.

"I’ve already apologized many times. I don’t want to say it again," Zhang Miao stated flatly.

Xiao Haotian’s tone grew colder, "Haha, Zhang Miao, they say there’s nothing as venomous as a woman’s heart; you really are ruthless."

Zhang Miao sighed, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Xiao Haotian took a deep breath, then said, "Do you really want to marry someone like Yang Gang?"

"He is not ’someone like that’; he’s my husband," Zhang Miao stated flatly.

"Ha!" Xiao Haotian was extremely irritated, somewhat infuriated with embarrassment: "Are you sure you want to do this? Yang Gang was Little Xi’s fiancé. You’re stealing your best friend’s man; can you sleep at night?"

"I sleep well. My husband knows how to lull me to sleep," Zhang Miao responded flatly.

Xiao Haotian was so angry he was practically snorting smoke.

At that moment, Zhang Miao sighed, "Xiao Haotian, we could have remained friends, why even ruin that kind of relationship?"

"Friends? Hahaha!" Xiao Haotian’s laughter was slightly unrestrained.

Shortly thereafter, Xiao Haotian’s chilling voice came through again: "Zhang Miao, a woman with a heart like a poisonous snake does not find happiness, I want to watch you fall into Hell with my own eyes!"

"Hmm... I’ve been prepared to go to Hell for a long time. I have other things to do, hanging up now."

After finishing her words, Zhang Miao hung up the phone directly.

In a certain room at a hotel in Hangcheng, Xiao Haotian angrily threw his phone against the wall.

He seemed to remember something, walked over to pick up the phone; the screen was shattered but it could still make calls, barely.

He dialed a number.

After a short while, the call connected.

"Duo Duo? It’s me, Haotian," Xiao Haotian’s tone was very gentle.

..

When Zhang Miao returned to the entrance of the living room, she did not know when Yang Fei had arrived, followed by Yang Ya, and at last Bai Ning Lu and Yang Lin also showed up.

The family members sat at the entrance of the living room, looking towards the villa’s main entrance.

The clock in the living room ticked away, moving its hands.

Eleven fifty-five... eleven fifty-six... eleven fifty-seven... eleven fifty-eight... eleven fifty-nine...

The New Year was almost here.

A trace of disappointment appeared in everyone’s eyes.
