"Master, I'm getting out of prison."
In Huadu Prison, in cell number 0, under the dim light, a young man in a blue prison uniform, thin and of medium build, knelt before an old man.
"Aren't you still half a year away from your sentence being up?"
The old man, with white hair and a dishevelled appearance, sat cross-legged on the iron bed, calm and composed.
"I cured a big shot's illness and got half my sentence reduced!" the young man said calmly.
The old man nodded. His sunken eyes opened, shooting out two sharp rays of light, looking at his most prized disciple, Wan Yunting, kneeling before him. "Very well, you go out first and find a geomantically auspicious place for this master. In a month, return to collect my body!"
Wan Yunting looked up, his eyes dimmed. He knew his master's time was drawing near!
Speaking of this old man, he was definitely a special existence within this prison.
In the 1960s, in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Huaxia, there was an unparalleled great physician. With his Thirteen Ghost Gate Needles, he was rumored to be able to snatch people from Yama, making even immortals step aside. His acupuncture skills dominated the Chinese medical world at the time, unsurpassed, and he was hailed as the Ghost Hand Medical Saint!
Unfortunately, fate played cruel tricks. He vanished from public view overnight, like a fleeting comet, and became a prisoner in this very jail.
He thought he would enter the dust with lifelong knowledge and regret, but unexpectedly, seven years ago, Wan Yunting was framed and imprisoned! The Ghost Hand Medical Saint saw hope in this young man...
"Take this!"
A jade token, dark green with exquisite carvings, appeared in the Ghost Hand Medical Saint's withered hand. "Although you have inherited my medical skills, in the realm of martial arts, I cannot guide you in higher martial arts techniques.
After you go out, find someone named Chang Wude. He should be a Grand Martial Artist now. If he sees this jade token, he will know you are my personal disciple and will teach you martial arts.
Also, remember what I entrusted you with, do not forget!"
Wan Yunting, holding the jade token, kowtowed three times to his master, his eyes firm. "Rest assured, Master, I will fulfill your wish!"
"Go."
The Ghost Hand Medical Saint waved his hand, closed his ancient eyes, and awaited his final moments...
Wan Yunting stood up, his deep eyes sharp. After taking one last look at his master, he resolutely turned and walked out of the cell.
A prison guard led him out. As they passed the prison cafeteria, they saw a group of labor reform inmates standing neatly at the entrance. Most of them were prominent figures from various fields of society.
"Congratulations, Boss Wan, on your release..."
These people looked at Wan Yunting with reverence and shouted in unison.
Facing these fellow inmates and recalling his seven years of life here, Wan Yunting grinned and said, "You all must live as good people, reform yourselves, and strive to be released soon."
"Yes, we escort Boss Wan out..."
These inmates banged their tin mess kits, cheering and sending Wan Yunting off.
Soon, Wan Yunting, dressed in new clothes and carrying a travel bag, walked out of the prison gates personally accompanied by Warden Ma Zhendong.
"Seven years, I'm finally out!"
He looked back at the imposing prison gates, and Wan Yunting couldn't help but feel a flood of emotions.
"Third Brother..."
At this moment, a man in a designer suit ran over and, looking at Wan Yunting, said excitedly, "You're finally out."
"Second Brother..."
The person was Wan Yunting's second brother, Wan Dongming. The two hugged excitedly. "Second Brother, thank you for picking me up. Uh, where's Eldest Sister? Didn't she come?"
"Eldest Sister..."
Mentioning Eldest Sister, Wan Dongming paused, then released Wan Yunting and said with a smile, "Eldest Sister had something come up and couldn't make it. She asked me to apologize to you."
"It's okay."
Wan Yunting waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'll go see Eldest Sister later."
"Good, let's go, I'll take you home."
Wan Dongming took Wan Yunting's travel bag and, patting his shoulder happily, they walked towards the Mercedes parked at the intersection.
"Second Brother, take me to see Mom and Dad first!" Wan Yunting said calmly from the passenger seat.
"Okay."
Wan Dongming nodded and drove towards the outskirts.
Forty minutes later, at a suburban cemetery.
Wan Yunting, holding a bouquet of flowers, was led by his second brother to his parents' grave.
He looked at the names of his parents, Wan Tielin and Peng Jiali, on the tombstone. Overwhelmed with emotion, he knelt down with a thud, unable to suppress his surging grief. "Dad, Mom, your son is unfilial, only now do I come to see you..."
Watching his third brother cry his heart out before their parents' tombstone, Wan Dongming stood beside him, his eyes also moist, knowing that his third brother had a difficult time in prison these past seven years!
Seven years ago, Wan Yunting was framed and sentenced to seven years for rape. Just as he was reeling from the blow, he received the news that his parents had died in a car accident, which struck him like a bolt from the blue, hitting him hard.
From then on, he lost all hope, living like a walking dead man in prison, full of despair and decadence.
It wasn't until he met his master, the Ghost Hand Medical Saint, that he saw a glimmer of hope...
"Mom and Dad, I will definitely find the culprit and avenge you!"
Wan Yunting, raising his head, his forehead bleeding from the impact, his sharp eyes tearful, looked steadfastly at his parents' tombstone.
He knew that the car accident that took his parents' lives was definitely not an accident, but a man-made event!
In the afternoon, the brothers left the cemetery.
"Third Brother, when we get to my place later, make yourself at home. Don't have any psychological burdens."
Wan Dongming said to Wan Yunting with a smile as he drove, "And my wife, she's very happy to have you stay with us."
"Yes, sorry to trouble you and sister-in-law." Wan Yunting nodded and smiled.
He knew that his eldest sister and second brother had already started their own families.
Soon, Wan Dongming drove into a villa community, and the car slowly stopped in front of a seemingly luxurious villa.
"We're here, Third Brother. Get out of the car."
"Okay."
Wan Yunting picked up his worn travel bag and got out of the car with his second brother.
Wan Dongming pushed open the villa gate and walked in, introducing the layout of the villa's courtyard to Wan Yunting...
Just then, a woman in a printed long dress and a small jacket walked out. She was thin and seemed to be suffering from an illness. She was Wan Dongming's wife, Wang Chulin.
"You're Second Sister-in-law, right?"
Seeing her brother's wife for the first time, Wan Yunting felt a little awkward.
Perhaps it was because he had been in prison for seven years, and now that he was suddenly out and meeting people, he felt a bit nervous and unaccustomed.
"Third Brother, welcome home..."
Wang Chulin smiled gently and proactively extended her fair, slender hand to shake Wan Yunting's.
What icy hands!
Wan Yunting was startled. Holding Wang Chulin's small hand felt like holding a piece of ice.
Clearly, his second sister-in-law was ill!
"This is Wan Yunting, the rapist who caused a sensation in Huadu back then!"
Suddenly, a sarcastic voice rang out. A middle-aged woman in a black cheongsam, dressed elegantly and luxuriously, walked out. Seeing Wan Yunting still holding her daughter's hand, Zheng Peihui stepped forward and separated them. "Chulin, don't shake hands with such a criminal, be careful you don't catch bad luck."
Wan Yunting raised an eyebrow, unsure who this woman was.
Wan Dongming stepped forward and blocked his third brother. "Mom, my third brother is not a rapist, he was framed."
"Useless, you've gotten brave, haven't you, yelling at me!"
Zheng Peihui had a fierce face, a typical shrewish image. She immediately started scolding, "Don't forget you're just a live-in son-in-law we hired from the Wang family!"
"Live-in son-in-law?"
Wan Yunting was shocked and looked at his second brother, Wan Dongming, in disbelief...
