Chapter 1139: Do You Think I

~7 min read 1,294 words

With a *pfft*, a military dagger stabbed heavily into one of Da Fei's arms. The immense momentum sent his body flying straight backward, and the dagger pinned him heavily against the wall.

Da Fei spat out bloody foam, glaring viciously at Chen Yu, while his other hand, which could still move, reached toward his waist.

There was a gun at his waist, but Chen Yu would not give him that chance again.

A cold glint flashed, and another military dagger pinned his left arm as well. He let out a muffled grunt, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

"Who... are you..." Da Fei looked at Chen Yu with difficulty.

"Chen Yu." Chen Yu replied indifferently: "Who sent you?"

"Heh, daring to go against our Hanjian Mercenary Company, you will die a miserable death." Da Fei sneered: "My boss won't let you off..."

"Then I'll wait for him." Chen Yu nodded slightly, then a streak of Sword Qi rose from thin air and swept across the mid-air. *Pfft*... Da Fei's head hung down heavily, and then he didn't move at all.

"Lawyer Ning, thank you, really, thank you so much." Li Zhangjun finally let out a heavy breath of foul air, then sat down on the ground with a *thump*, gasping for air in big gulps.

This time it was truly a narrow escape; if Chen Yu hadn't suddenly burst in just now, he would likely be dead already.

"Do you really think this matter is just over?" Chen Yu sneered: "Ruoxue is acting as your agent for the inheritance; what things are you hiding from her?"

"I, I don't have any." Li Zhangjun gave a start, his gaze flickering; it was obvious he was feeling guilty.

"Li Zhangjun, when I took on your inheritance lawsuit, I clearly stated that I don't take cases with major disputes, and I won't take cases that cost lives. I only want to make money, not risk my life." Ning Ruoxue said coldly: "You didn't tell me about your older brother's identity."

"You didn't ask me either." Li Zhangjun began to act like a rogue.

"I didn't ask you? You told me he was the boss of an overseas company; you didn't say he was the leader of a mercenary group." Ning Ruoxue said coldly.

"I don't care, you took the money so you have to do the job for me. Court is starting soon, you must finish representing me." Li Zhangjun said, glancing at Chen Yu: "Is this your boyfriend? Let him protect me for half a year. I paid a lot in legal fees, I..."

Chen Yu sneered, his right hand making a grasping motion in the void, and the military dagger pinning Da Fei flew into his hand. Without wasting words, he plunged the barbed military dagger directly into his thigh.

"Ah..." Li Zhangjun screamed.

Chen Yu twisted the military dagger slightly, then pulled the thing straight out of his thigh.

Li Zhangjun's vision went black, and he fainted on the spot.

This military dagger had barbs on it, and when it was pulled out, it brought a large chunk of flesh and blood with it; the guy was in so much pain he fainted directly.

But in front of Chen Yu, fainting didn't seem to be an easy thing. Immediately after, he felt a searing, fiery pain in his thigh—it was Chen Yu stabbing him again.

He was jolted awake by the raw pain, followed by a sky-filling sound of wailing and howling.

"Don't, don't hit me anymore, what do you want, just tell me..." Li Zhangjun screamed.

"What exactly is it that your brother is fighting for?" Chen Yu dropped the military dagger in his hand and sneered: "Stop screaming, you brought this on yourself. If I didn't give you a taste of the blade, did you really think I was a pushover?"

"It's a key to a Swiss Bank, this key... is rumored to be the key to some underground treasury in Chuan." Li Zhangjun cried.

"There's treasure inside?" Chen Yu glanced at him.

"No, it's not that, it's a secret that can make people immortal..." Li Zhangjun shook his head repeatedly.

"Then why didn't your father go look for that secret of immortality until he died? Did he feel he wasn't qualified enough?" Ning Ruoxue asked.

"No, my father said that place isn't somewhere just anyone can go. Back when he was young, he went there with a group, but out of a team of over thirty people, he was the only one left alive."

"He warned us that unless you have absolute certainty, you must never touch this thing, otherwise there is only a dead end."

"Anything like this, once you go, you either die or it's just an illusory legend." Chen Yu said coldly: "It's a pity you two brothers treat it like a treasure. Do you think you are stronger than your old man?"

"My brother has a group of experts under him. He intends to take this key, along with a map in my father's will, to go to Chuan to find that mysterious cave. If it really can grant immortality, that would be immense wealth." Li Zhangjun said with a terrified expression.

"And then your brother wanted to kill me because he was afraid of losing the lawsuit?" Ning Ruoxue asked.

"Yes... that key and the will are both in the highest-level safe at the Swiss Bank. He couldn't snatch them, so he had to kill you." Li Zhangjun nodded in terror.

"Take me to the bank, take out the contents of the safe, and then let your brother come to negotiate." Chen Yu said indifferently.

"He never compromises." Li Zhangjun looked fearful.

"He will. If the item isn't brought out, your brother won't show himself." Chen Yu sneered: "I won't intervene in your family's affairs, but if he dares to move against Ruoxue, he must die."

"... Th-this, this will carry a huge risk." Li Zhangjun's face was deathly pale; he had lost too much blood, and his vision was starting to darken.

"Go, or not?" Chen Yu said coldly: "Do you think I'm easy to talk to?"

"No, Big Brother, I'll listen to whatever you say." Li Zhangjun was scared out of his wits.

"I only want Li Zhangan's Life; I don't want to bother with the rest. His mistake was that he shouldn't have touched my woman." Chen Yu said coldly.

Li Zhangjun was stunned, a bit of secret joy rising in his heart. According to what Chen Yu said, this matter was advantageous to him.

Li Zhangan wanted to get rid of him, and his strength was formidable, but looking at Chen Yu, he seemed to be a ruthless person too. Let these two parties go at each other; as long as his brother died, everything would be his.

He had deep financial resources and the ability to organize a powerful team to explore. When the time came, he would have immortality and possess the wealth of the world.

"Fine, I will take you to retrieve the items first thing tomorrow morning, but I have one requirement: you must guarantee my safety." Li Zhangjun gritted his teeth and nodded.

"That goes without saying. With me here, I guarantee your brother won't be able to touch you." Chen Yu nodded; this basic operation was something he could still manage.

"Good, as long as I have your promise, I can rest easy." Li Zhangjun nodded heavily.

The next day, in a high-end VIP room at the Swiss Bank, after Li Zhangjun produced his credentials, someone took him to the safe deposit area.

From a safe, they took out a small insurance box. Upon opening it, it contained a key and a map.
