After the boy finished speaking, a 16-year-old girl beside him also asked with tears in her eyes.
“Daddy, tell me it isn’t true. Uncle Ban has been by your side for so many years and has always been loyal. Why would you kill him? This can’t be true…”
The two children were Rong Bailun’s son and daughter. One was called Rong Bingshao and the other was called Rong Oumei.
The two of them were relatively young. They were younger when compared to the second-generation heirs of other secret families.
Shaun shouted angrily, “Ban Luming angered the Deity and started a war. He even wanted to kill Deity Jordan. How could I not kill him?!”
!!
By now, Rong Bingshao and Rong Oumei already knew that Jordan was a Deity.
Rong Bingshao glared at Jordan with great hatred. “He’s just a Deity. Why should the Rong family value him so much that we have to kill Uncle Ban! What’s so great about a Deity?! Isn’t his existence to serve our eight great families?!”
It seemed like Rong Bingshao knew a lot about the secrets of the eight great families.
“Enough, Bingshao. Your father has been with your Uncle Ban for so many years. He must be feeling even worse than you guys. Don’t criticize your father anymore. You’re still children. You don’t understand the difficulties of adults,” Ming La scolded Rong Bingshao.
Rong Bingshao glared at Jordan before turning to leave. But Rong Oumei was still obedient and stayed behind.
“Bingshao! Come back here!”
Shaun pretended to call after Rong Bingshao. In actual fact, he couldn’t wait for this little brat to run away from home.
The relations.h.i.+p between a father and son was usually very close. It was very easy for a son to detect that there was something wrong.
Rong Bingshao was currently in a rebellious state and was very difficult to deal with, so Shaun did not have the patience to deal with him. He was really afraid that he would kill him if he got angry.
After Rong Bingshao left, Shaun said to Jordan and the others, “Deity Jordan, Madam Geng, Lota, I’m sorry. My son lost control of his emotions. He’s usually very polite. Please don’t take offense.”
Jordan nodded. “It’s alright.”
Jamie walked over and looked at the obedient Rong Oumei. He smiled. “It’s alright. Your daughter is still here, that’s all that matters to me.”
“h.e.l.lo, little beauty. Your name is Rong Oumei, right? Nice to meet you. My name is Jamie.”
Jamie took the initiative to extend his hand to Rong Oumei.
Jordan and Shaun were speechless. This fellow was targeting underage girls again.
Walking into the mansion, Jordan realized that the decor of the Rong residence was no different from those of ordinary rich people. In fact, their decor was simpler compared to some rich families.
This was Shaun’s first time here. He looked around before saying to Ming La,
“Honey, stay here and entertain Madam Geng and the rest. I’ll bring Deity Jordan upstairs for a tour. He wants to see our living s.p.a.ce.”
“Wait a minute.”
Before Shaun and Jordan could go upstairs, Ming La approached Jordan and said,
“Deity… Deity Jordan…”
Ming La’s expression and tone was quite awkward so Jordan said, “Mrs. Rong, you can call me by my name, Jordan.”
Ming La smiled. “Mr. Jordan, I know that over the past few days, our Rong family has been at war with four of your families. Many civilians have been implicated. I’m very excited to know that you’re a high and mighty Deity who can predict the future. My husband is a person who respects your special status very much. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive the harm the war has caused to you and your family and friends.
“Actually, Bailun isn’t someone who kills the innocent. He promised me that he wouldn’t release those terrifying weapons unless he had no choice.”
Jordan looked at Ming La. She was not particularly beautiful and was a little plump. However, Jordan felt very comfortable with Ming La. From her tone, it was obvious that she was a gentle and kind woman.
No wonder the world had been so peaceful all these years.
As the wife of the world’s number one person, her good character led to the happiness of the people in the world. If she was a vicious woman, this world would not have had a good life.
Jordan said to Ming La, “Mrs. Rong, don’t worry. Our families have had our differences in the past, but the problem has been resolved. We are all here at your house as guests. Doesn’t this mean that we have put everything behind us?”
Ming La smiled and nodded. “I won’t disturb your tour then. Please call me if you need anything.”
Jordan returned her smile but did not say anything further. He accompanied Shaun upstairs to Rong Bailun and Ming La’s bedroom.
After closing the door and turning on the lights, the two of them immediately started to search the room.
Shaun went to the bedside table. Most people would place some personal items there.
For example, books, diaries, phones or tablets.
However, after searching around, he found nothing.
Shaun was puzzled. “Rong Bailun’s bedroom is too f*cking clean. There’s nothing in it. At least I have a couple of books in my bedroom. Could it be some high-tech product that can be hidden inside the panels or made invisible?”
Jordan closed his eyes and made a prediction before shaking his head.
In Jordan’s vision, the bedroom still looked very simple and uncluttered.
Logically speaking, a person’s regular bedroom shouldn’t be so spa.r.s.e.
Jordan asked, “Shaun, are you sure this is the house where Rong Bailun usually resides?”
Shaun said, “I’m certain. Although I don’t know the Rong family, I’ve sent many people to follow Rong Bailun’s whereabouts over the years. I know very well his usual spots.”
Jordan thought for a moment and said, “This house is so big. There must be more than just a few bedrooms. There must be a study, a bas.e.m.e.nt, a wine cellar and other places. Perhaps we can find something there.”
“Yes, Deity Jordan is right. Let’s continue searching.”
Shortly after, Jordan and Shaun walked down the stairs. Ming La went forward and smiled at Jordan. “Mr. Jordan, our room is rather simple. It is quite embarra.s.sing.”
Jordan smiled and replied, “Mrs. Rong is too humble. You are the wealthiest family in the world, but you don’t show off. We can all learn from you. By the way, Mrs. Rong, there should be a bas.e.m.e.nt below, right? I guess there must be a lot of good wine there. Your decor can be simple but I believe your collection of wine must be very valuable, right? I really want to take a look.”
Jordan had searched all the rooms upstairs but did not find any clues.
Only the bas.e.m.e.nt remained.
However, Ming La smiled apologetically. “I’m afraid we’ll have to disappoint you, Mr. Jordan. The bas.e.m.e.nt is my husband’s private place. He won’t even let me and the children in. I’m afraid he won’t agree to let you visit it.”
