~7 min read 1,313 words

"Even if I have to leave, I must avenge my son first."

"But Xiao Zhengguo has already been arrested, and he is seeking death; he will be executed very soon," the butler said, confused.

"It's not just him. A mere Xiao Zhengguo could never have reached my son. There is someone behind him; there must be someone," Cao Zhengde roared.

"I have already gone to investigate. A woman brought the young master to the room that day, and that woman's identity is unknown," the butler said. "However, she must have someone supporting her from behind."

"Investigate! Find out who it is. I want results, not guesses," Cao Zhengde hissed.

"Yes, I will investigate. I will use our resources to look into it now." The butler felt helpless; he was in the same boat as Cao Zhengde now, and he could only follow Cao Zhengde's wishes.

Just then, the door opened, and Chen Yu walked in.

"Who is it?" Cao Zhengde suddenly raised his head and looked at Chen Yu, his face full of confusion.

Right now, his Cao Corporation in Shu City was the kind of existence that everyone shouted to beat.

No matter how close the relationship had been before, seeing him now, people would surely stay far away, so it was impossible for anyone to help.

Moreover, those who usually maintained a decent surface relationship were now eager to turn the tables and kill off their Cao Corporation, so it was impossible for anyone to come visit him now.

"You are Cao Zhengde? The house is nice, but there are a few servants missing in the room; it doesn't match your status," Chen Yu said with a chuckle.

"Who exactly are you?" Cao Zhengde looked at Chen Yu vigilantly. He had an intuition that the person in front of him did not come with good intentions.

"Chen Yu. Aren't you looking for the person behind the harm to your son? I might as well tell you, it's me," Chen Yu said. "I was the one who brought your son to the room, used two knives to pierce the back of his hands, and nailed him to the table."

"You..." Cao Zhengde raised his head, his eyes almost spitting fire; he was extremely furious.

"Next, I let Xiao Zhengguo come in, pour boiling water on his head, and then pushed him off the eighth floor," Chen Yu continued.

"I'll fight you to the death!" Cao Zhengde hissed and lunged at Chen Yu. He could not endure it, nor could he accept this fact.

His son had been killed directly by this person, so he was extremely furious; he wanted to kill Chen Yu to avenge his son.

A Qi Wall appeared. Cao Zhengde slammed heavily into the Qi Wall, and then his body was sent flying backward. With a thud, he sat down heavily on the ground, gasping for air violently.

"Do you think it's cruel?" Chen Yu walked up to Cao Zhengde and smiled slightly. "That's right, it is this cruel. When your son was harming others, you didn't think about how to discipline your son."

"Instead, you helped your son clean up his mess and then tried every possible way to kill them, didn't you?" Chen Yu sneered.

"How many families have been ruined by him over the years? You know that in your heart, don't you? Heh, it's not that retribution doesn't come, the time just hasn't arrived yet," Chen Yu said coldly.

"What grudge do I have with you? Why did you harm him like this? Why?" Cao Zhengde roared.

"No reason. When one does all kinds of evil, heaven will collect," Chen Yu sneered. "When you indulged your son in harming people everywhere, you should have thought that such a day would come, right?"

"I'll kill you!" Cao Zhengde suddenly pulled out a gun and fired several shots at Chen Yu without hesitation.

Bang, bang, bang... Several bullets floated strangely in front of Chen Yu, but Chen Yu did not fall. On the contrary, a barrier appeared in front of him, and the three bullets floated strangely in front of Chen Yu, unable to move forward even an inch.

"You... are you even human?" Cao Zhengde was stunned. He suddenly realized that today's matter would likely not end well.

"Of course I am human." Chen Yu waved his right hand, and the bullets dropped to the ground.

"What do you want to do?" Cao Zhengde was afraid. Evil people have their natural enemies; it wasn't that he didn't believe in these things, but he had always felt that even ghosts and gods would retreat from evil people.

But today, it seemed that was not the case. The person in front of him was not even afraid of bullets.

"Your son is dead; go down and keep him company," Chen Yu said calmly.

"You want to kill me?" Cao Zhengde shuddered.

"What else?" Chen Yu stared at this guy. Is it possible that even now, this guy still doesn't understand what is going on?

"My son is already dead; can't you let me go?" Cao Zhengde was somewhat afraid.

"Sorry, no." Chen Yu shook his head. "Your son's death is not enough to offset the wrongs your Cao Family has committed over these years."

"I beg you, even if it's for the sake of my son being dead and my Cao Family being about to collapse, spare my dog life. I guarantee I won't commit any more crimes in the future, I guarantee it!" Cao Zhengde was scared out of his wits.

"What a pity, you don't have the chance anymore." Chen Yu shook his head and walked past Cao Zhengde.

Cao Zhengde only felt a heart-wrenching pain in his chest. His eyes widened, and he fell straight down. Even until his death, he had a look of unwillingness; he probably never expected that his ending would actually be like this.

Seeing his boss die silently just like that, the butler was also scared pale. He looked at Chen Yu tremblingly, hoping Chen Yu would spare his life.

"You are his butler?" Chen Yu looked at him.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, I haven't done anything heinous. Please spare me." The butler steadied himself and looked at Chen Yu with a pleading face.

He hoped Chen Yu would show mercy; after all, the culprit was the people of the Cao Family, and he was just a dog.

"As a dog of the Cao Family, I don't believe you didn't participate in the things they did," Chen Yu sneered. "Tell the truth, and perhaps you can be spared from death."

"I... I did all this according to Cao Zhengde's wishes. He is the boss; I couldn't refuse." The butler looked terrified.

"Right, so when he told you to kill, you went? When he told you to do heinous things, you did them as a matter of course?" Chen Yu sneered. "Now I'll give you a chance. Let's see if you can grasp it?"

"Mr. Chen, just tell me what you want me to do, and I will definitely do my best." The butler's expression tightened, and he looked up at Chen Yu expectantly.

"Write down how many heinous things Cao Zhengde has done over the years and find the evidence, and I will spare your life," Chen Yu said calmly.

Cao Zhengde was dead, but the Cao Corporation was still there. If he didn't topple the Cao Corporation, he wouldn't be able to swallow the anger in his chest.

"Yes, yes, that's no problem. I know many things about Cao Zhengde and the Cao Family, and I also know the evidence of their collusion with some leaders. I have already recorded it all in a notebook without missing a word," the butler said hurriedly. "As long as Mr. Chen can spare me, I will hand this over to you immediately."
