Chapter 152: Something is Wrong Here

~8 min read 1,411 words

"Heh, want to know?" Zhong Qianyuan wore a miserable smile.

"If you don't talk, don't blame us for using methods." Xie Wuji gave a cold snort.

Zhong Qianyuan said nothing; suddenly, his body trembled violently, and his arms and legs stretched out.

"Not good..." The expressions of the few grew stern, and they retreated rapidly.

Almost the moment they backed away, with a muffled 'Boom—', Zhong Qianyuan's chest suddenly exploded, a large hole tearing open in his chest, flesh and blood flying everywhere.

Zhong Qianyuan was full of poison, so his final struggle was extremely terrifying; the flesh and blood splattered from his body could cause people to be poisoned to death instantly.

After the rain of blood, the three of them gathered around again, but it was a pity that Zhong Qianyuan was already dead beyond any doubt.

"What a pity, we still didn't get it out of him." Li Xuanling frowned.

"But Senior Li should have an idea in his heart by now, right?" Chen Yu glanced at Li Xuanling: "That foster daughter of yours is quite the piece of work."

Li Xuanling fell into Silence; after a long time, he murmured: "I raised her from a child, taught her martial virtue, morality, and the principles of being a person, but I never imagined she would turn out like this."

"If possible, I hope to give her a chance to turn over a new leaf."

"I will listen to whatever you say, Senior." Chen Yu nodded slightly: "But you must be careful yourself; you must pay extra attention to what you eat and drink."

"I know, thank you." Li Xuanling nodded slightly.

"Regardless, Zhong Qianyuan is dead, so we have one less major threat; I will find someone to handle this." Xie Wuji said.

"Good." Chen Yu nodded; Zhong Qianyuan was full of poison, and his self-detonation was also very terrifying; if not cleaned up thoroughly, it might cause unnecessary casualties.

After returning, Ye Xinyu had already fallen asleep; she was five months pregnant, and in a few more months, the child in her belly would be born; Chen Yu looked at her slightly protruding belly, smiled knowingly, and tucked the quilt in for her.

Although Chen Yu was reborn, he was grateful to the owner of this body for giving him a chance to live again, so Chen Yu would treat Ye Xinyu's child as his own.

After tucking her in, Chen Yu walked out the door and looked at the courtyard; he thought to himself that this place was his home, and since it held those he protected, it was necessary to set up some defenses in the surroundings.

He went to the basement, took out a small piece of Spirit Stone, prepared some Array Flags, and set up a Small Defensive Array around the house.

After some effort, this small Array was set up; besides having offensive and defensive effects, it also had the function of suppressing the house and warding off evil.

After finishing all this, Chen Yu let out a long breath; as long as anyone with killing intent entered, they would inevitably trigger the formation, and anyone below the Martial True Realm would be directly shredded.

"Hubby." Just after finishing this, Ye Xinyu walked out; she was wearing silk pajamas and said with sleepy eyes: "Why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Sleeping right away, did I wake you?" Chen Yu held her hand and said.

"No, I'm going to the restroom." Ye Xinyu said: "The little one in my belly is being restless again."

"It's just the time for kicking." Chen Yu helped her sit down, then leaned his ear against her belly: "Our little princess will be in this world in a few more months."

"How are you so sure it's a daughter?" Ye Xinyu laughed.

"It must be a daughter, as beautiful as you." Chen Yu stroked her long, black hair and smiled: "I won't be wrong."

"Then will you dote on her?" Ye Xinyu smiled.

"I will." Chen Yu said earnestly: "I will spend my whole life loving her and risk my life to protect you both."

"Hubby, you're so good." Ye Xinyu leaned slowly against Chen Yu's shoulder and murmured: "After she is born, I want to take her with you to travel through the Mountains and rivers, tread through all the beauty, and then find a place with clear waters and lush mountains to settle down."

"I want you to accompany us to watch the flowers bloom and fall before the courtyard, to enjoy the sea of clouds and sunrise at Lone Peak, and to live out this Life quietly."

"There will be such a day, Xinyu, I promise you." Chen Yu smiled slightly and held Ye Xinyu, unaware that two lines of clear tears were slowly sliding down from the eyes of the woman in his arms.

"Alright, let's go to sleep." Ye Xinyu quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mm, okay." Chen Yu smiled: "I'll take a shower first."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he went into the room first; Ye Xinyu stared blankly at his back, then stood up and looked at the night sky, a hint of coldness appearing on her face: "Things I don't want to do, you had better not force me."

Having inexplicably dropped this sentence, she turned and left; in the darkness, a flash of red shadow flickered, and a woman whose face could not be seen stepped out, covering a distance of over a zhang in one leap, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

The next day, everything was as usual; today Yan Roujin had an appointment with Chen Yu to look at the site for the new company.

Everything for Qingyan Health was in preparation, and now that Zhang Hai was dead, she had seized full control within Qing Yan Group; the company was developing rapidly, and the previous office address was a bit too small, so she had chosen a new location.

The East District of Fengling was a new district and had not been built for long, so there were many places to choose from; the commercial building Yan Roujin chose today was a newly completed commercial building with twenty-six floors.

She planned to build the new company here; as for whether to rent or buy the company space, she was still deliberating.

"This location is quite good; the supporting facilities around the future commercial center will be completed within the year, and the building is located right in the center of the commercial district; no matter how you look at it, it's a good choice." Chen Yu nodded.

"And if the company moves to the new district, the government will have a series of preferential policies, tax reductions, and a series of support; it is a bit remote for now, but I think the current situation will change in half a year." Yan Roujin smiled.

"Not bad, the subway is already connected; do you intend to rent or buy this place?" Chen Yu asked.

"Since the location is so good, why not buy it?" Yan Roujin pondered for a moment.

"That would require a significant amount of capital." Chen Yu was slightly stunned; Yan Roujin did not show her hand, but she was truly wealthy.

"It's fine, money is not an issue." Yan Roujin smiled slightly: "I have already contacted the original owner of this commercial building, and we will meet to talk in a moment."

"Wait." Chen Yu looked toward the top of the building and saw a ball of black Qi flash by.

"What's wrong, is there a problem?" Yan Roujin asked.

"There is a problem; how much is he asking?" Chen Yu asked.

"Three billion, for the transfer of all six floors of commercial space and twenty floors of office space." Yan Roujin said.

"I'll go down and take a look first." Chen Yu smiled and pressed the elevator to the first basement level.

The first basement level was planned for a supermarket, and the second and third basement levels were parking lots; Chen Yu went all the way down to the third basement level, and upon looking at the auspicious spot in the very center, he could not help but be slightly startled.

He saw that in the space above the third basement level, more than ten balls of black Qi were spinning rapidly; these black Qi condensed into faces, baring fangs and brandishing claws at Chen Yu.
