Chapter 301: Temptation

Furthermore, as she pulled at her dress, the garment slid off, revealing her snow-white skin, and a faint, elusive fragrance drifted into Chen Yu's nostrils.

To be honest, Xu Siying was not bad-looking, and her figure was quite good; a move like this would likely be unbearable for any man.

But Chen Yu knew what kind of person she was; he broke free with his arms, and Xu Siying let out a delicate cry as she fell to one side.

"Get out..." Chen Yu had just stood up to scold her when he suddenly felt the world spinning, followed immediately by a dry mouth and throat.

He suddenly recalled that fragrance on Xu Siying's body and cursed inwardly that he had been tricked.

"Chen Yu, I really like you now. I don't ask for anything, just let me stay by your side." Xu Siying lunged at him again.

"Get lost." Chen Yu let out a deep shout, a trace of killing intent surging in his eyes.

"You..." Xu Siying was both shocked and angry. She had thrown herself at him like this, yet Chen Yu was still completely unmoved? Could the drug she had gone to such lengths to obtain be of no use to him at all?

"Xu Siying, I'll warn you one last time: don't play any tricks in front of me, or you will die a very ugly death. Get out immediately. I can tell you, even if you stood naked in front of me, I wouldn't have the slightest interest in you," Chen Yu barked.

"Chen Yu, you—you will regret this." Xu Siying's body trembled; Chen Yu's words were a tremendous insult to her.

She straightened her clothes and left the place, weeping.

Chen Yu took a deep breath. He sat down, calmed his mind, and slowly circulated his True Qi. After a few breaths, his violently pounding heart finally began to settle.

He would have to be careful with this woman in the future; although she was an ordinary person, she had quite a few tricks up her sleeve.

"Manager Chen, someone was caught cheating at gambling in my establishment. He was caught on the spot and claims to be your brother-in-law. His name is Ye Chenguang. Do you know him?" Just then, Zou Dalong's call came through.

"Have him wait for me there for a moment; I'll be over right away," Chen Yu said.

"But Manager Chen, this group of people is from overseas and they look quite powerful. I'm afraid money won't be able to solve this," Zou Dalong said.

"I understand," Chen Yu said in a low voice, then turned and headed out.

Zou Dalong held a monopoly on half of the entertainment venues in Fengling, and this club was called the Huangchao, with the three underground floors serving as a casino.

The casino had already been cleared out. Zou Dalong stood to one side with a group of men, looking on with hostility. On the other side were three people, led by a bearded man.

Ye Chenguang was kneeling on the ground, shivering. One of his hands was pressed onto the table, and a long-haired youth was brandishing a massive axe toward his hand.

"Did you make the call? Has my brother-in-law arrived yet?" Ye Chenguang said with a sobbing tone; having never seen such a massive display of force, he was truly scared to the point of wetting his pants.

"Manager Chen will be here soon, just wait." Zou Dalong glanced coldly at Ye Chenguang. There was already a puddle of yellow liquid beneath the guy's legs, and he couldn't understand why someone as capable as Chen Yu would have such a useless brother-in-law.

"Manager Zou, I've long heard that you are the king of the Fengling nightlife and the underground ruler. Now that I'm here, my brothers aren't having a very good time," the bearded man said, playing with a Dagger and speaking in a slow, measured tone.

"My sincere apologies. This kid broke the rules of our establishment. If it weren't for his brother-in-law, I would have already chopped him up," Zou Dalong said. "May I ask who you are?"

"Do you recognize this?" The bearded man raised his hand, revealing a green dragon tattoo on his wrist.

"You are from the Qing Sect?" Zou Dalong's expression changed drastically.

The Qing Sect was an extremely massive organization that began in the late Ming Dynasty and flourished during the Republic of China era. Now, its disciples were spread across the world, claiming to have one hundred thousand members.

The organization's personnel were distributed extremely widely; overseas Chinese, domestic tycoons, powerful merchants, and even the leader of an inconspicuous, low-level organization beside you could potentially be a Qing Sect disciple.

This organization was both righteous and evil, acting without regard for good or bad, purely based on preference, but its sect rules were strict: one could not strike against ordinary commoners.

"Qing Sect, Cheng Jiu." The bearded man put away his tattoo and sneered, "Manager Zou, since I've revealed my identity, I won't let this matter rest unless I am satisfied with today's outcome."

"Mr. Chen will come to handle this," Zou Dalong said, his brows locked in a frown. Today's matter was truly thorny.

"You guys hurry up and let me go! My brother-in-law will pay you back the money I owe you," Ye Chenguang said, trembling.

"Shut your mouth." A short man slapped him across the head.

"My brother-in-law is very powerful; he won't let you off!" Ye Chenguang shrieked.

Suddenly, the short man picked up the axe in his hand and swung it down heavily toward his hand.

Ye Chenguang screamed hysterically. The axe was only a millimeter away from his fingers; if there had been even the slightest deviation, his entire hand would have been severed.

Just at this moment, the door opened, and Chen Yu walked in.

"Manager Chen, we have trouble; they are from the Qing Sect," Zou Dalong said in a low voice.

"Qing Sect?" Chen Yu frowned. "I understand. I'll handle it."

"Chen Yu, save me! Hurry and save me! These people are cold-blooded killers!" Seeing Chen Yu, Ye Chenguang couldn't help but shriek hoarsely.

"Gentlemen, first let me offer you an apology. Whatever money he owes you, I will pay," Chen Yu said, walking up to them and bowing slightly.

"It's not about the money. What matters is that we finally came out to relax, and our mood has been ruined by this guy. If it were you, what would you do?" Cheng Jiu stepped forward, his chest bare, revealing a green dragon tattoo.

"Then how do you gentlemen wish to handle this?" Chen Yu smiled.

"You bow your head and apologize to us, and let us chop off one of this kid's hands; then this matter will be considered over. Otherwise, it will be hard to quell the hatred in my brothers' hearts," the short man said, lifting his head arrogantly.

"Apologizing is fine, but there is no need to hurt anyone," Chen Yu said with a smile. "I will compensate you for your losses, and I also guarantee he won't appear before you again. How does that sound to you?"

"That won't do. If I don't chop off one of his hands, I'm afraid the axe in my hand won't agree." The short man brandished the giant axe in his hand forward, and a chilling killing intent emanated from the weapon. "Or, you take three of my axe strikes. Regardless of whether you live or die, this matter will be settled here. How about that?"

"Fine," Chen Yu nodded.

"Chen Yu, hurry and get me out of here! What are you doing? Why are you wasting your breath with these people?" Ye Chenguang clamored. "You're truly useless. I'm going to make my sister divorce you."

"Ye Chenguang, I only came to save you today because of your blood relation to Xinyu. Remember, this is the last time. If you dare say another word of nonsense, I'm leaving immediately," Chen Yu said, furious.

"Leave, then go ahead! If anything happens to me, let's see how you explain it to my sister," Ye Chenguang said angrily.
