Phoenix Among Men Chapter 1

“I’m finally out …………”

Chen Ping roared out as he breathed in the fresh air outside with all his might!

Behind Chen Ping was Hongcheng Prison, where he had spent three whole years and was finally released today after completing his sentence.

“Hey, I wonder how my parents are doing?”

Chen Ping carried his ragged canvas bag and hurriedly walked towards home, his parents had never seen him once in three years and now Chen Ping was worried about them.

On the way home, Chen Ping kept examining a bronze ring on his hand!

On the ring was carved a lifelike dragon with the word order in the place of the dragon’s head!

This ring was given to him by his cellmate, Old Dragon Head, when he was released from prison today.

This Old Dragon Head was a very strange person, who was always talking in a divine manner, saying that he was the Master of the Heavenly Dragon Hall, who knew astronomy and geography, was proficient in magic and medicine, and was able to bring people back to life!

Everyone treats the old dragon head as a madman and does not want to pay attention to him. Only Chen Ping will talk to the old dragon head when he has nothing to do, and even gives him a little bit of his meal.

Every day, the old dragon head would tell Chen Ping some strange and bizarre things, what with the Heavenly Dragon Hall and the Locked Dragon Island, things Chen Ping had never even heard of!

The old leader later asked Chen Ping to accompany him to meditate and practice every day, Chen Ping was also bored, so he followed along and learned!

But who knew that after three years had pa*sed, Chen Ping had actually followed that old leader and practiced his skills and medical skills!

When he was released from prison today, the old leader gave Chen Ping this ring and told him that on the 15th day of the 7th month this year, he should go to the Nameless Island in the East China Sea, and that if he showed his ring on the island, someone would pick him up.

Because he had learned a lot from the old leader, Chen Ping believed in his words and agreed to do so, but it was still several months before the 15th of July.

Unknowingly, Chen Ping had already reached the doorstep of his home. Looking at the somewhat dilapidated house in front of him, Chen Ping was full of complications, he wondered, how his parents were doing these three years, because of his impulse, his parents must have been under a lot of pressure!

Thinking back to three years ago, Chen Ping’s eyes still flashed with anger!

Three years ago, Chen Ping and his girlfriend Geng Shanshan were already talking about getting married.

But one day when they were walking Geng Shanshan home, they met Xiao Lei who was drunk.

This Xiao Lei is a famous rich boy in Hong Kong, who has done all kinds of bad things!

When Xiao Lei saw that Geng Shanshan was pretty, he had bad intentions and made a pa*s at Geng Shanshan!

Being a famous rich kid in the area, Xiao Lei didn’t even give Chen Ping a second glance at that time!

Seeing his girlfriend being insulted, Chen Ping went crazy!

He picked up a brick and smashed it on Xiao Lei’s head!

The result was predictable ……

The powerful Xiao Lei was beaten up, of course he would not give up, he directly called the police and had Chen Ping arrested.

He was sentenced to three years in prison for intentional a*sault!

It was only until today that Chen Ping was released.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Ping then gently knocked on the door of his room!

“Who is it?”

The door opened and an old woman with white hair and a stooped figure poked her head out, one hand constantly groping forward, “Who is it, who is knocking at the door?”

The old woman’s eyes were tightly closed and it was obvious that she could not see anything, so she was blind!

After Chen Ping looked at the old woman in front of him, his whole body froze, his eyes were wide open and his body was trembling slightly.

He couldn’t believe that this old woman with white hair and a wrinkled face in front of him was his own mother, Tang Hongying!

It had only been a short span of three years, how could his own mother have turned into this state?

“Mom, it’s me, I’m Chen Ping!”

Chen Ping went forward to hold his mother and shouted with an excited face.

“Chen Ping? Is it really you?”

Tang Hongying ran her hands over Chen Ping’s face, unable to stop her tears from flowing out!

“Mom, it’s me, it’s me ……”

Chen Ping’s eyes were also red: “Mom, what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong?”

Chen Ping didn’t understand, when he left it was clear that his own mother was fine, why did she turn into this state in just three years!

“Hey, it’s a long story, come in and talk!”

Tang Hongying dragged Chen Ping into the room!

Looking at the spartan room, almost empty, Chen Ping was dumbfounded!

Although their family wasn’t rich, his father had a formal job, so it was still possible to reach modest means, but now how come the family had become like this!

“Mum, what’s happened to the family?”

Chen Ping saw the family in such a state and asked his mother after him.

“Ai!” Tang Hongying let out a sigh, “After you left …………”

Tang Hongying told the story one by one, it turned out that after Chen Ping went to jail, the Xiao family did not intend to let them go and demanded a million dollars in compensation.

In the end, there was no way out, Chen Ping’s parents sold Chen Ping’s wedding house and borrowed a lot of money, but they still couldn’t get enough, and finally there was 300,000 left, and they could only pay the Xiao family in installments!

For this reason, Chen Ping’s father lost his job and had to sweep the streets for a living, while his mother cried her eyes out all day long!

This was why Chen Ping had been in prison for three years, but his parents had not seen him once.

As he listened to his mother’s story, Chen Ping slowly clenched his fist, and a majestic killing intent flooded the depths of his eyes!

He didn’t expect this Xiao family to be so ruthless, this was to drive their family to extinction!

“Mom, did that Geng Shanshan not care about you guys at all?”

Chen Ping asked with a face full of confusion.

Geng Shanshan was his soon to be wife, and he was in jail for Geng Shanshan’s sake, Geng Shanshan couldn’t have watched his parents in this state and not cared, right?

“Alas, don’t mention it, the Geng family not only doesn’t care, even the bride price we gave, I want it back, they won’t give it back, saying it’s not their fault they can’t get married, it’s because you’re in jail, so the bride price won’t be returned!”

“Your father went to them to argue and was even beaten out by the family!”

The more Tang Hongying said, the more her heart sank, and in the end she simply couldn’t stop the tears!
