Chapter 1135: Think Carefully Before You Speak

"You'll be staying in Shengjing for a few days after coming back this time, right?" Ye Qingning asked with a faint smile.

"I went to Dragon Breath before; I don't know if those old fogies will give me any time to rest," Chen Yu said with a smile.

"Then our engagement should also be put on the agenda," Ye Qingning said with a gentle smile.

"So soon?" Chen Yu blurted out.

"You think it's fast?" Ye Qingning raised her head to look at Chen Yu.

"No, it's not that." Chen Yu gave a wry smile; truthfully, he hadn't made up his mind.

"You haven't made up your mind?" Ye Qingning asked. "Or should I say, you have concerns? After all, Yushan is the most important person to you."

Chen Yu fell into a silence. How wonderful it would be if he hadn't reached that point with Ye Xinyu, but now that he had, what was he supposed to do?

"I told Ye Lao about the engagement, and it's been postponed," Ye Qingning said, smiling slightly as she looked at Chen Yu's expression. "But the cooperation between our two families remains, and it will still be in the form of a marriage alliance."

"You told Ye Lao?" Chen Yu was startled. "Why?"

"Because I know you haven't made up your mind," Ye Qingning said with a faint smile. "I also know what you are thinking in your heart."

"This isn't fair to you," Chen Yu said with a wry smile. "You were supposed to have a better destination."

"You slept with me, and now you don't want to acknowledge it?" Ye Qingning smiled. She leaned into Chen Yu's ear and whispered, "In this life, I won't marry anyone but you."

After saying this, Ye Qingning smiled enchantingly and turned to leave.

Chen Yu watched her back for a long time without a word. In this life, he was probably destined to let many people down.

"Has the main wife left?" Just then, a figure flashed, and Ning Ruoxue's playful and cute face appeared before Chen Yu's eyes.

"When did you get here?" Chen Yu was startled. He had been so focused on talking to Ye Qingning just now that he hadn't even noticed Ning Ruoxue was right beside him.

"I've been here for quite a while, following right behind you. And you call yourself a Dharma Cultivator? You couldn't even sense my aura?" Ning Ruoxue rolled her eyes at Chen Yu. "It's lucky I don't have any ill intentions toward you, otherwise, hmph."

"You're no different from my own family, why would I guard against you?" Chen Yu chuckled.

"Did you miss me?" Ning Ruoxue stared straight into Chen Yu's eyes, her own eyes filled with tenderness.

"I did." Chen Yu nodded slightly; he truly had missed her.

"If you missed me, why won't you come with me?" Ning Ruoxue hooked her arms around his neck.

Ning Ruoxue's car was parked right by the park. She seemed to be a roundworm in Chen Yu's stomach; as soon as Chen Yu returned, she immediately received the news.

She picked up her car keys and unlocked the car. Just as she was about to open the door, Chen Yu's heart gave a jolt. An extremely dangerous aura surged from his heart, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Watch out!"

As he spoke, Chen Yu violently pulled Ning Ruoxue back into his arms and tackled her to the ground.

Almost at the same time, with a 'Boom—', a massive explosion erupted from the driver's side of the car. More than half of the front of the car was destroyed by the blast wave, and the entire vehicle was flipped over.

Waves of scorching heat surged over, and Chen Yu's back was a bloody mess.

The people around fled in panic, and sirens began to wail. Ning Ruoxue held onto Chen Yu tightly, screaming, "Chen Yu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Chen Yu said, struggling to stand up.

Shrapnel had embedded itself into his back, and because all his Protective True Qi had been used to shield Ning Ruoxue, he had been completely exposed to the explosion.

This bomb was a special make, with power even greater than C4. Fortunately, he possessed the ability of Regeneration. He took a slight breath, and his True Qi surged out, forcing all the shrapnel embedded in his back to be expelled.

Then, after a few breaths, his Regeneration ability allowed his mangled back to slowly heal.

Chen Yu let out a long, turbid breath. This time, he had used all his strength to protect Ning Ruoxue, meaning he had been directly exposed to the explosion himself.

If he hadn't possessed the ability of Regeneration, even as a Dharma Cultivator at the Entering the Dao Realm, he would have been in for a world of trouble.

The skin on his back had already healed, but because the injury was so severe, it left a layer of white marks. This was the result of the Regeneration ability; these white marks would disappear in a few days.

Chen Yu was somewhat puzzled. Logically speaking, in Shengjing, he had no enemies with deep grudges other than Zou Ziang.

However, the opponent's setup was precise, as if done by an expert. To say nothing else, this bomb alone was not something an ordinary person could make.

Yet, the method of the attack didn't quite seem like Zou Ziang's style. If he wanted to deal with him, he would definitely bring in experts, because he knew that ordinary bullets and assassinations had no effect on him.

"How badly are you hurt? Let's go to the hospital," Ning Ruoxue said, looking at the wounds on Chen Yu's back with a pained heart, her tears falling uncontrollably.

"I'm fine. I am a Yisheng myself, don't worry, it's nothing major." Chen Yu feigned a relaxed smile. In fact, he really didn't have any major problems. His expression then turned cold: "I'll have someone investigate this; I'll have results within three hours."

"No, this time it was me who implicated you," Ning Ruoxue shook her head, her face full of heartache.

"You? They were coming for you?" Chen Yu's expression changed instantly.

If these people had come for Chen Yu, he wouldn't have taken it to heart because he wasn't afraid, but if they were coming for Ning Ruoxue, the problem was quite serious.

Ning Ruoxue was the only person Chen Yu cared about in both his past and present lives; he would not allow her to suffer any harm.

"A case I've been handling recently involves a huge amount of property, and there are overseas forces involved. I might win the lawsuit at the next hearing, so... it's very likely they were the ones who did it," Ning Ruoxue said in a low voice.

"Who are they?" Chen Yu's expression turned slightly cold.

"I can handle it myself," Ning Ruoxue said earnestly.

"This isn't a matter of whether you can handle it or not, but they dared to touch my woman? I'll beat them to death," Chen Yu said in a deep voice.

Ning Ruoxue felt a surge of joy in her heart. Chen Yu having this attitude showed that he cared for her deeply. She smiled and said, "Alright, it's not a big deal. I'll just seek protection from the police. Once the police arrive, we'll leave."

"There's no need to go to the police station. I'll go and deal with whoever those people are for you," Chen Yu said.

"Really, there's no need. This isn't a big deal. As a lawyer, I've long thought about how to deal with these kinds of situations," Ning Ruoxue said with a giggle.

"Ms. Ning, are you both alright?" Just then, a policewoman in uniform hurried over with some people.

"I'm fine. Let me introduce you, this is Officer Zhou Qing, she's responsible for protecting me," Ning Ruoxue smiled. "Chen Yu, my friend."
