Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 353 Live Video

After Yu Ru finished eating, Sang Zhuxian led her to the Yun family's lounge. She took Yu Ru's hand and walked to the front of everyone, saying, "Little Ru is back. Look, she's perfectly fine."

Upon seeing her, everyone except the two elderly people in her family stood up. The believer gave her a thumbs up and said, "Xiaoru, a role model for us all."

Yu Ru smiled and bowed slightly to everyone, "I'm sorry to have troubled you all."

"Oh dear, I think I heard Xiaoru speak?" Situ Ningzhai also stood up. She walked up to Yuru, took her hand, and looked at Sang Zhuxian, asking, "Zhuxian, did Xiaoru speak?"

Sang Zhuxian nodded. "Mom, yes, Xiaoru can talk now."

"Oh my!" Situ Ningzhai exclaimed excitedly, patting Yu Ru's hand. "How come you can talk now? Xiao Ru, which miracle doctor cured you?"

Yu Ruhui held her hand. "Grandma, when you encounter an emergency, you get so anxious that you suddenly find yourself talking."

"That's great, great! This time it's a blessing in disguise, hahaha." Situ Ningzhai chuckled, his previous worry completely gone. "Once this is over, we'll hold a banquet to celebrate and commemorate the day you can speak again."

"Thank you, Grandma." Yu Ru nodded, then said, "Grandma, let me briefly explain the situation in the villa and the list to everyone."

“Alright, alright, sit down and talk. That’s exactly what we want to know, otherwise we don’t know where to start to find connections.” Situ Ningzhai then looked at Sang Zhuxian, “Zhuxian, please sit down too.”

Yu Ru didn't sit down. She took off her backpack, took out a small projector, turned it on, and pointed it at a relatively clean wall. As soon as Situ Ningzhai saw that she was going to play a video, he immediately stood up and called out to everyone, "Kids, you have one minute to hand over your phones to me. No taking pictures or recording videos, hurry up. You can have your phones back after you've finished watching what you need to see."

No one objected or questioned; they all stood up, took out their phones from their pockets, and placed them on the table in front of Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe.

Soon, images began to appear on the wall, showing scenes inside the villa. The images depicted a group of bodyguards eating together. Yu Ru fast-forwarded through the footage and realized it was entirely focused on their meal, so she switched to another video. This video showed the scene on the second floor after all the gunmen were dead, with blood flowing like a river and corpses strewn about. Yu Ru felt the Yun family should see this scene so they would have an idea of ​​roughly how many people had died.

After adjusting the video, she sat down in the empty seat next to Sang Zhuxian, took out her phone, and sent the compiled list of the deceased to the Yun family's group chat. Instantly, everyone's phones rang. This drew everyone's attention to the pile of phones, but the terrifying image projected on the wall was far more captivating than the ringing.

The camera seemed to be positioned in the center of the villa. It circled once, recording a wide shot around the corridor, before slowly moving towards the corridor to record a close-up. The appearance of the corpses on the ground gradually became clearer. Countless people died in various ways, many with a hole in their forehead or neck, and blood was gushing out of those holes like small fountains.

After recording the body up close, the camera lowered its position and wandered around the first floor. The scene was quiet, not entirely silent, but everyone was tense and silent, with only a few bodyguards directing the group as they moved the body. Despite the large number of people present, only the voices of the bodyguards, footsteps, and rustling of clothing mingled together, creating an eerie stillness and a strange sense of order.

The video camera lingered there for a few minutes before moving to another location, where the next scene showed a man using pliers to pull out another man's fingernails.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa..."

A heart-wrenching scream echoed throughout the lounge.

"yue~"

Just then, someone gagged. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Shanxin's wife, Xiao Runsheng, and Yun Sizhi's youngest daughter, Shanzhi, looked uncomfortable and covered their mouths. Seeing this, Shanxin immediately stood up and stood in front of his wife, saying, "Runsheng, don't look anymore, go to the room with Shanzhi."

Arun nodded and helped Shanxin to her feet. Shanxin then turned to Shanzhi and said, "Shanzhi, go to your room with your sister-in-law and rest. Don't look around anymore." Shanzhi nodded and stood up as well.

Yu Ru's gaze swept over everyone's faces, noticing their discomfort. However, the scene of fingernail removal was the mildest of all; later scenes involved chopping off hands, feet, and heads, as well as corroding the human body with strong acids and alkalis—these were far more gruesome. After a moment's thought, she paused the video, stood up, and looked at the two elderly people, asking, "Grandpa and Grandma, there are even more gruesome scenes later, involving chopping off hands, feet, and heads. Do you... want to go back to your room and calm down?"

The two elderly people waved their hands, and Yun Zhonghe said, "It's alright, Xiaoru, you can stop watching. We can handle it." After saying that, he looked at the others and said, "Children, if any of you can't stand it, then don't watch anymore. Go and stay next door."

No more people left; the others chose to stay and watch.

The video continues, and after the man's fingernails are pulled out, a voice appears, "Call Zhang Mingyang and tell him to come here, or I'll pull out two more of your fingernails."

Everyone recognized Yu Ru's voice; it was very distinctive and easily recognizable.

The camera and Yu Ru should be at the same level now, because the man is looking directly at the camera, as if he's looking through the camera lens at someone outside the lens. His face is contorted with rage, and he's panting and cursing, "Fuck you, you slut who's been ridden by a thousand men and trampled by ten thousand, you think you're qualified to teach me how to do things?"

"@≠？@%&..."

What followed was a long string of vulgarities and vicious insults, so offensive they hurt the ears. This abuse lasted for about half a minute, and then the man who had started pulling out the man's nails came back and pulled them out again. The video ended there, and a loading bar appeared on the screen, preparing to play the next video.

"Knock knock..."

At the same time, there was a knock at the door.

Everyone turned to look at the door, then exchanged bewildered glances. Sang Zhuxian immediately stood up, turned off the projector, stuffed it back into Yu Ru's backpack, and said to Yun Bianzhi, "Bianzhi, use your phone to monitor who's at the door."

"it is good."

"Knock knock..." The door was knocked again. The room was quiet, so the knocking sounded particularly loud, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe exchanged a glance. Situ Ningzhai lowered his voice and asked, "Zhonghe, should we let Xiaoru go to her room to hide for a while?"

"Okay." Yun Zhonghe nodded and immediately said to Yu Ru, "Xiao Ru, take the projector and hide in the room first. Wait until we've confirmed who's outside before you come out."

"it is good."

Yu Ru immediately got up and went into the inner room. Yun Bianzhi also saw the people outside the door through the monitor; it was his elder brother, Yun Wenzhi, and his wife. Their arrival surprised him somewhat, as these two were very busy, dealing with national affairs every day. He zoomed in on the screen, carefully examining the people outside the door. After confirming that it was indeed his elder brother, he looked at Situ Ningzhai and Yun Zhonghe and said, "Dad, Mom, the people who have come are my elder brother and sister-in-law."

"What are they doing here?" Yun Zhonghe asked, puzzled. He then took out his phone and dialed Yun Wenzhi's contact number. "I'll ask him what they're here for."

The call connected quickly, and Yun Zhonghe asked first, "Wenzhi, what brings you here? What happened?"
