Chapter 1456

Ye Chen's words hit Mike Chengxing like a thunderbolt!

Just now, Ye Chen had turned Mike into a living dead man with a single finger; this had completely shocked Mike Chengxing.

The strength Ye Chen had just displayed was far beyond what he could compare to.

Now, Ye Chen had even revealed his background and the fact that he had met Xuan Fengnian last night, which made Mike Chengxing even more nervous!

He stared at Ye Chen with extremely nervous eyes and asked, "Who exactly are you?"

Ye Chen sneered: "My surname is Ye, and my given name is Chen."

Mike Chengxing blurted out: "I have never known you. Why did you secretly investigate and follow me, and even steal my family heirloom compass?"

Ye Chen asked him back: "You are a feng shui master over a hundred years old. Since you have settled in the United States for many years, why are you running back to the country at such an old age instead of properly enjoying your retirement in the United States? And you're even hanging out with a heinous beast like Xuan Fengnian. Aren't you afraid of ruining the reputation and signboard that your Mai family has built over nearly a thousand years?!"

Mike Chengxing's expression was somewhat awkward, and he stammered: "Old man... old man... old man has not been hanging out with Xuan Fengnian! Old man's hands have never been stained with blood!"

Ye Chen asked again: "Then why did you go to Phoenix Mountain Cemetery to see him last night? Also, haven't you seen the security guard who died at Phoenix Mountain Cemetery? Does his death have anything to do with you?"

Mike Chengxing blurted out: "The reason I went to see him was because he had something to discuss with me. I didn't want to make an enemy of this person, so I went over to deal with him. As for that security guard, he was already dead when I arrived there; naturally, it has nothing to do with me!"

Ye Chen stared at him and asked, "What exactly did he want to discuss with you?"

Mike Chengxing said coldly: "This is a private matter between him and me, and it has nothing to do with you!"

Ye Chen sneered: "Old man, logically speaking, someone of your age shouldn't be this stubborn. I'm only showing you respect because you're old, so I don't want to use any harsh methods on you, but if you want to rely on your age to act arrogant, then I won't be so polite!"

Mike Chengxing felt a bit panicked, but he put on a brave front and said: "You young man are very unreasonable! I have no grudges against you. Who I meet and what I talk about, what does that have to do with you?"

Ye Chen said somewhat impatiently: "Don't play word games with me here. I can tell you clearly: if you don't explain the matter of Xuan Fengnian clearly and don't tell me his specific movements, then don't blame me for not respecting the old and loving the young!"

Mike Chengxing snorted: "You are not a law enforcement agency, so naturally I will not tell you."

"Not tell me?" Ye Chen snorted coldly and said sternly: "Since you already met him yesterday, you know that his natal Gu worm relies on human brains for food. If you don't catch him sooner, he might harm more innocent people. If you don't tell the truth, that is shielding and abetting! You bear an inescapable responsibility for every person Xuan Fengnian harms from now on!"

"What a joke!" Mike Chengxing said arrogantly: "I have stood tall and walked straight my whole life, and I have never done anything harmful or immoral. Don't you try to pin someone else's crimes on me! Even if I were in front of the police of the whole world, I would definitely be innocent!"

Ye Chen looked at him with disdain and mocked: "I know how old things like you think. People like you always have 'sweep the snow from your own door, don't worry about the frost on others' roofs' on your lips. You think that because someone else killed the person, it has nothing to do with you? I'm telling you, that kind of scumbag thinking might work on others, but with me, you are just as hateful as the murderer!"

Speaking of this, Ye Chen shouted coldly: "I'll put it this way today: if Xuan Fengnian kills one more person in Jin Ling, I won't bury you in Phoenix Mountain Cemetery, because letting you die like that would be letting you off too easily. When the time comes, I'll lock you and your grandson in a dog kennel and spend the rest of your lives in a dog cage!"

When Ye Chen said these words, he didn't hide his killing intent at all, and his sharp gaze made Mike Chengxing feel terrified!

Although he didn't know Ye Chen's background, he didn't doubt Ye Chen's words at all at this moment.

In his nervousness, he couldn't help but explain: "I don't know where Xuan Fengnian is either. This person's whereabouts are uncertain, and he acts alone. Yesterday, he was the one who contacted me and asked me to go to Phoenix Mountain."

Ye Chen said coldly: "In that case, you should have his contact information. Then find a way to help me lure him out."

Mike Chengxing couldn't help but say: "This matter has nothing to do with me. I don't want to get involved. If you have any grudges against him, that is a matter between the two of you. Please don't drag me into it. At worst, we will leave China tonight and have no more dealings with China."

Mike Chengxing had seen Xuan Fengnian's abilities, so he didn't want to be an enemy of Xuan Fengnian at all.

If he really helped this young man find Xuan Fengnian's whereabouts, and it turned out this young man was no match for Xuan Fengnian, then not only would this young man die, but he wouldn't have a good ending either.

From a young age, his most strictly followed life motto was to mind his own business. As long as it didn't involve his own interests, he didn't want to get involved. Therefore, he especially didn't want to get involved in the grudge between Ye Chen and Xuan Fengnian.

Seeing that this old guy was impervious to reason, Ye Chen sneered and said: "No wonder when China was in trouble back then, all you feng shui experts ran abroad, every single one of you! As the saying goes, 'if it doesn't concern you, stay out of it'—that's exactly what you unscrupulous people are! National righteousness and good character are all bullshit in your eyes!"

Mike Chengxing was scolded by Ye Chen. Although his face felt a bit ashamed, he still stubbornly said: "As the saying goes, 'when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter.' So many people ran abroad back then, and everyone has their own aspirations. It's not a matter of who is right or wrong. What's more, this is a society ruled by law. As long as one follows the law and stays within the legal framework, one is a good citizen!"

After finishing, Mike Chengxing looked at Ye Chen and said sternly: "On the contrary, it's you! If you dare to restrict my personal freedom, then you are breaking the law while knowing the law!"

Ye Chen really didn't expect this old thing to be so stubborn. He had met him once before and he didn't look like a bad person, but today he realized that this old thing wasn't a bad person who hurt people openly, but he was far from being a good person. And once this guy was faced with a situation, he was an extremely selfish old scumbag whose mind was full of how he could escape unscathed, while he wouldn't care at all about the lives of others!

So, Ye Chen nodded with a cold face and said indifferently: "Interesting. You are afraid of minding other people's business, and I love to mind other people's business, so since you've fallen into my hands, there's no possibility of you escaping unscathed. In a while, I'll take you to visit the dog kennel first. After the visit, you can tell me whether you want to get involved or not!"

Mike Chengxing was so angry he stamped his feet, but seeing Ye Chen's firm and unwavering appearance, he was also more or less afraid in his heart, so his tone softened, and he said with a hint of pleading: "Mr. Ye, I am old and don't have many years left to live. Why do you have to make things so difficult for me?"

Ye Chen snorted with disdain: "Alright, save it. I'll put it this way: if Xuan Fengnian kills one more person, I will have you die in Jin Ling!"
