Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Panda Novel

At the same time, outside of the prison, driver Wang Mingyu received a call from Hong Weiguo.

“Mingyu, what are you doing? Why haven’t you come back? It’s already eight o’clock.” Hong Weiguo’s voice on the phone was a little anxious. “It’s extremely disrespectful to the guests if the coming of age ceremony is delayed. Anything happened to Dali?”

Hong Weiguo doted on Hong Dali and was thus reluctant to talk directly with him. Thus, he had to pass the message through Wang Mingyu, the driver. This caused Wang Mingyu to be rather gloomy. He could only listen to Hong Weiguo’s scolding and even plead for Hong Dali. “Master, it’s like this. Ling Xiaoyi’s younger brother, Ling Mufeng, was tricked by others. He was secretly fed ‘Blue Fantasy’ and is now in the Tianjing West City Prison. The Young Master has already gone in to solve it. I couldn’t stop him from doing so.”

“Someone wants to deal with Hong Dali’s lackeys?” Hong Weiguo was a clever person. Within a few seconds, he had already figured out the sequence of events. “It looks like someone purposely did so to make Dali arrive late for the ceremony. It’s certainly a good plan.”

“Yes, Master.” Wang Mingyu also expressed his anger. “If Young Master did not bother to help his lackey, it would inevitably lead to his lackeys feeling betrayed. But if he did go help, like what he is doing now, he would definitely be late. It’s hard to deal with the matter either ways. But Master,” Wang Mingyu said. “I, however, am more inclined to Dali helping Xiaoyi. And he has to deal with it in the most beautiful manner. Otherwise, such things will happen ever so often from now on, and it will be very troublesome for him.”

“En, it looks like he will be late. Let’s do it like this,” Hong Weiguo said. “I will settle the guests down first. On your side, do not delay and settle the matter as quickly as possible. Once Dali is done, contact me immediately. It’s best if this matter is settled beautifully once and for all. At least, no one will dare to touch Dali’s lackeys after this. As to how Dali wants to settle this, we will leave it up to him. Hehe, a tiger father will not beget a dog son. Since they dared to underestimate my son, I will certainly not let them go easily!”

…

Inside Tianjing West City Prison, in an empty cell.

“What’s your name again?” Hong Dali sat in a simple chair and looked at Ling Mufeng in front of him. “I heard about you before from Xiaoyi, but I don’t really remember your name.”

“I’m called Ling Mufeng.” Now that he finally saw hope, Ling Mufeng gradually regained his original composure. “You’re Young Master Dali, right? My sister has told me about you, but I have never had the chance to see you.” ”

“En, aren’t you seeing me now?” Hong Dali said with a grin. “Let me ask you, Mufeng. How did you end up getting into contact with Blue Fantasy? That’s the name, right?”

When Dali mentioned this matter, Ling Mufeng gnashed his teeth and said, “Originally, I was just studying by myself, and my results were not bad after the exams. After that, some people somehow wanted to get close to me. They were also very kind to me and always asked me to eat with them, saying that they would like to introduce a girlfriend to me. I didn’t think too much at that time, and thought it was just another girl who requested them to help ask me out…”

After he said this, Hong Dali understood. “En, you’re indeed quite handsome. You have a lot of girls chasing after you in school, right? You treated them as third parties requested by a girl to ask you out as she was embarrassed to do so, right?”

“En, that’s what I thought then.” Ling Mufeng then said fiercely, “At that time, they actually did ask about my opinion of a certain girl in my school. Since they were nice and friendly to me, I felt that it would not be nice if I just ignored them. After a while of hanging out together, we got familiar with each other. Then came Friday, where they asked me to go out to play with them after school. And you know the rest of the story. It was that day that I was tricked into taking in such a drug.”

To put it simply, all this happened because Ling Mufeng was still new to how society worked.

Ling Mufeng continued, “In the beginning, I thought it was just a small pill worth ten dollars or so and didn’t take it seriously. However, after a while, I found that I couldn’t stop taking it. So I went to find them twice and ended up getting caught. It was only after I reached here that I realized what had happened.”

Ling Mufeng didn’t need to continue the story for Hong Dali to know what had happened. It was just a case where Ling Mufeng was deceived into starting drugs and then caught by the police after getting tipped off by someone. This would then cause Dali to be diverted away during his coming of age ceremony.

It seemed that the real mastermind had set up a huge web targeting himself.

Ling Mufeng was just a small prawn in the plan, but he had Ling Xiaoyi behind him. As Ling Xiaoyi was one of his most capable assistants, Hong Dali would definitely help Ling Xiaoyi. In this aspect, the opposition had obviously done their research.

But the main question was: Who was the mastermind? It was too hard to guess as the field was too wide.

As Hong Dali thought up to here, Ling Mufeng’s body started to tremble uncontrollably. At first, there were only faint symptoms, but it didn’t take long before his whole body became unstable. He started to take in deep breaths of air, and his lips trembled soon after. Even his eyes turned dull.

It was “Blue Fantasy’s” effects. It was starting to kick in again.

“Dali, what should we do?!” After seeing this, Tang Muxin also guessed that it was due to drug addiction. She said in a hurry, “Dali, quickly think about what to do!”

Ling Xiaoyi had long cried till her clothes were full of tears. She felt that her heart was torn when she saw her brother end up in such a state.

Hong Dali narrowed his eyes and stood in front of Ling Mufeng. He carefully observed his reaction before saying, “You guys take a look at how this thing looks like. Make sure that I do not find any of you taking in such things. If I were to catch anyone doing drugs, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

When everyone saw how the usually happy-go-lucky Hong Dali became so stern, the atmosphere in the room immediately became oppressive.

Looking at the current Ling Mufeng, Hong Dali’s heart also felt awkward. When he was on Earth, he had a close friend in college. However, that friend of his became addicted to a drug called “Ice” and, in less than a year, became as thin as a bamboo. Even his appearance became ghost-like. After Hong Dali thought about it, he started to shiver. Thus, he hated such a thing to his bones.

“It’s… it’s so uncomfortable…” Ling Mufeng squatted down, with drops of sweat dripping down from his forehead. His mouth kept muttering a few messy words that no one could understand.

In the beginning, he was able to restrain himself. But soon, Ling Mufeng began to twitch and tremble, and even his eyeballs started to flip around. As if he were experiencing a nightmare, he started muttering, “Pill… give me the pill…”

At this time, Ling Mufeng was starting to lose consciousness. He started to behave like a blind fly in the room. He would grab and throw anything he saw. He felt dizzy, hot, and had difficulty breathing. He felt as if he were a living ghost.

Ling Xiaoyi covered her mouth with her hands and crying uncontrollably.

The others couldn’t even bear to look straight at him.

At this time, Ling Mufeng had almost lost his mind. He grabbed Hong Dali’s clothes and shouted, “Give me the pill! Give me the pill!” Seeing him attack Hong Dali, the three male lackeys immediately rushed forward and pulled him away.

Hong Dali suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Ling Mufeng’s collar. He shook him twice and asked, “Do you still remember your name?”

“Ling… Ling Mufeng…”

Hong vigorously snorted and said loudly, “Do you want to change back to a normal person in the future, or do you want to live on this thing for the rest of your life? Answer me! Ling Mufeng, answer me!”

Ling Mufeng’s face was full of tears and said, crying, “I want to be a normal person, I want to be a normal person.”

Hong Dali laughed. “Good! Hahahaha! Yes, good!” He said while releasing Ling Mufeng’s collar. He then probed his pocket and quickly found a bank card which he threw on the table. He then said, “I will give you two choices now! This is 500,000! If you take this card now, I will never ask you to return this money, and you can buy as many pills as you want with it! But in the future, you will never be able to change back to a normal person. The other way is for you to hang on as if your life depends on it and live a normal life in the future, but you will not get this 500,000.”

While speaking, Hong Dali slammed the table ferociously and shouted, “Ling Mufeng, choose now!”

Ling Mufeng stared at the card on the table, feeling hesitant.

If he took this card, a card with a full 500,000 yuan, it would be enough for him to buy a lot of pills. However, he would never be able to experience the life of a normal person ever again.

If he didn’t take it, he might be able to live the life of a normal person, but he would have to live in pain for a long while.

How should he choose?

To the current Ling Mufeng, who was experiencing the effects of drug addiction, this was a very difficult choice.

The angel and devil in his head started a tough fight.

With trembling hands, Ling Mufeng couldn’t help himself but stretch a hand for the card on the table. However, halfway there, he gritted his teeth and gave a heartbreaking scream, then fiercely punched himself hard, forcing himself to take two steps back, with his forehead full of sweat.

Hong Dali looked at Ling Mufeng’s current appearance and gave him a boost. “Come on! If you are to make it through this time, there is hope for recovery!”

Ling Mufeng’s body started squirming around on the ground. His face filled with cold sweat, and his lips had turned white. He stared at Hong Dali’s eyes and weakly said, “Young… Young Master Dali… please help me… I am afraid… I can’t stand it… Young Master Dali…”

Hong Dali used his eyes to instruct a male lackey. The male lackey immediately understood what Hong Dali wanted and thus slapped the back of Ling Mufeng’s head hard. This slap caused white foam to flow out of Ling Mufeng’s mouth, but he quickly fainted and lost consciousness.

This was the only method that could help Ling Mufeng restrain the drug addiction and, at the same time, not cause too much harm to his body.

After waiting for a while, Ling Mufeng woke up and wiped the blood off his mouth before slowly standing up.

“Young Master Dali… Thank you… Thank you…” Ling Mufeng’s eyes became brighter than ever. Although he was still weak, he tried his best to smile to Hong Dali and said, “I feel… from when I was born… till now… I had never once been… like today, so manly…”

Hong Dali laughed and hugged Ling Mufeng, saying, “Good! Have you chosen?”

Ling Mufeng firmly nodded. “I have chosen! Even if I have to suffer the greatest hardship, I want to be a normal person! A normal person who can live well! For my sister, for my parents!”

Hong Dali patted Ling Mufeng’s back and said, “Rest assured. Follow me, and you will not be mistreated.”

Witnessing this scene, Ling Xiaoyi, Tang Muxin, and the five female lackeys started crying uncontrollably.

It was the greatest choice to have followed Young Master in this life!
