Chapter 31: The Enemy of the Past

"Yes." The subordinate nodded and turned to leave.

With an extra hundred million in his account, Chen Yu was incredibly excited; although his family's company was about to go public before his rebirth, he had never been this wealthy before—this was a hundred million.

Just as he was feeling happy, a familiar figure flashed by his side. Chen Yu looked up, and after seeing the back of this person clearly, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes.

Zhang Yongan, Zhou Lin's lackey; when Zhou Lin framed him, this grandson surely did plenty of maneuvering in between.

Before his rebirth, Chen Yu inherited his father's estate right after graduation and handed almost all company matters to Zhou Lin, which led to Zhou Lin harboring evil intentions. Chen Yu certainly could not forget this grudge; since he had encountered his enemy, he would collect some interest first.

"Do it today." Zhang Yongan was talking on his phone while walking; he did not notice Chen Yu behind him.

After saying this, he turned and got into a van. Chen Yu hailed a taxi and followed.

At Triumphal Mansion, Ning Ruoxue was coming down from the law firm when suddenly a van stopped in front of her. The door opened, and several masked men rushed out.

Ning Ruoxue was slightly stunned. Once she reacted, she turned quickly, but a man behind her stepped forward and covered her mouth with a towel. Her vision went black, her body went limp, and a man dragged her into the van.

Several men were sitting in Zhang Yongan's van. One of them, who looked fierce, handed over a cigarette and said, "Brother Zhang, were we efficient?"

"Not bad, didn't pick the wrong people. This little lady has been hounding Chen Yu's case without letting go. President Zhou gave instructions from overseas to finish her off. You all did it quite cleanly; you won't be shorted on the money later."

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang, our brothers are from this line of work. It's just a woman, we can handle it." The man chuckled, "But this woman is quite pretty, how about..."

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Yongan asked.

"I'm just a beast, give me ten minutes, haha." The man laughed loudly.

"Maybe five minutes is enough." Zhang Yongan chuckled, "After I ask what I want to ask, you can do whatever you want."

"Haha, thanks Brother Zhang."

In the suburbs, at an abandoned factory, Ning Ruoxue was splashed awake with cold water.

Her hands and feet were bound, and she could not move. Zhang Yongan half-squatted on the ground and chuckled, "Ning Ruoxue, do you recognize me?"

"I do, you are Zhou Lin's dog." Ning Ruoxue stared coldly at Zhang Yongan.

"That's right, I am President Zhou's dog." Zhang Yongan smiled, "Do you know why you were brought here?"

"Did Zhou Lin send you?" Ning Ruoxue asked.

"That's right, President Zhou sent me." Zhang Yongan laughed, "Ning Ruoxue, don't blame me for being ruthless; blame yourself for being too meddlesome. You shouldn't have kept hounding Chen Yu's case."

"He is already dead; even if you clear his name, what meaning does it have?"

"This matter has to do with Zhou Lin, right?" Ning Ruoxue was silent for a moment, "I guessed it was like this early on, but unfortunately, I couldn't find evidence."

"Anyway, you're about to die, so it doesn't hurt to tell you." Zhang Yongan smiled, "Let you be a ghost who knows the truth. It's a pity that kid Chen Yu didn't know until he died that these things were planned by his wife and President Zhou together."

"Haha, that kid was truly a fool. A listed company, all shares transferred unconditionally to his wife Li Qingwan. How could Li Qingwan be a simple character? Once the shares were in hand, why keep Chen Yu?"

"What did you say?" Ning Ruoxue's face turned pale, and she said with a trembling voice, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. Chen Yu loved his wife to the point of madness; he didn't know the inside story until he died." Zhang Yongan laughed loudly.

"Li Qingwan... he loved you so much, how could you be so heartless?" Ning Ruoxue cried out, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Chen Yu couldn't have met you, and even less could he have fallen in love with you."

Tears fell from Ning Ruoxue's eyes. She had been working hard to find the truth, but when the truth was laid out before her, she could not accept the fact.

"What is in your hand?" The bald man suddenly grabbed Ning Ruoxue's hand; a small voice recorder was running.

"You bitch, you actually dared to record?" Zhang Yongan was furious and slapped Ning Ruoxue across the face, "You tricked me into talking?"

"Brother Zhang, don't delay. Lawyers have too many tricks; I can't outplay her. Let me play with her, then finish her off." The man said while taking off his shirt, baring his chest and leering.

"Boss, there's us too, don't forget us." Two other men also leered and stepped forward.

"Beasts, hurry up." Zhang Yongan stepped on the voice recorder, crushing it.

"I, Ning Ruoxue, swear that in this life, even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go." Ning Ruoxue struggled to back away, but her legs tightened as her smooth calves were pressed down by one of the men.

"I've had a few lives on my hands, and the police are still hunting me now. I wasn't afraid when you were alive, would I be afraid when you're dead?" The man sneered and reached out to tear at Ning Ruoxue's coat.

"Chen Yu, I'm sorry, I couldn't clear your name." Ning Ruoxue closed her eyes, ready to bite her tongue and commit suicide.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and with three *bang, bang, bang* sounds, the three men were kicked flying.

Chen Yu lifted Ning Ruoxue up and took off his own coat, wrapping it around the disheveled Ning Ruoxue.

"It's you?" A flash of surprise appeared in Ning Ruoxue's eyes. This man, who also happened to be named Chen Yu, gave her an inexplicable sense of security.

Chen Yu's eyes were blood-red, and invisible murderous intent surged from his body.

If Zhang Yongan hadn't said it himself, he would never have believed that the person he had loved with his whole life could have such a snake-like, poisonous heart.

After his rebirth, he had thought more than once about how he should explain his identity if he ever met Li Qingwan. If she knew his identity, would she continue to spend the rest of her life with him?

But now it seemed there was no need for explanation; you never know what kind of thing is under a human skin.

"Who are you? Kill him, today's events cannot be leaked." Zhang Yongan shouted.

"Go!" The man waved his hand and grabbed a weapon.

Suddenly, a figure flashed, and with a few *crack, crack* sounds, the heads of the three men were twisted backward by force.

The three men's knees went soft, and they fell to their knees with a *thud*. Their heads were twisted to their backs; they were dead beyond a doubt.

Zhang Yongan was shocked. He turned to run, but Chen Yu reached out, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.

"Everything you just said, is it true?" A voice like one emerging from Hell rang in Zhang Yongan's ear.

Zhang Yongan's eyes were splitting; the murderous intent on Chen Yu's body surged. His gaze was cold and terrifying, and from Chen Yu's eyes, he saw the shadow of another person.

That Chen Yu who had already died a year ago, that Chen Yu who was executed by firing squad after being framed by them.
