Chapter 511: Yin-Leaning Constitution

~8 min read 1,485 words

"Mr. Chen, how is Yueyue?" Wang Yiyun asked anxiously from outside the door.

"She is fine now, just frightened. Furthermore, her body was previously invaded by evil Qi, so she needs to recuperate well for a period of time. I will write a prescription; you just need to have her take it on time," Chen Yu said. "The girl has a Yin-leaning constitution and is sensitive to cold; in the future, she must never go to places like graveyards or ancestral halls again."

"Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Chen," Wang Yiyun said, expressing her deepest gratitude.

"How is Yueyue?" Just at this moment, a man rushed in hurriedly; the man was in his early forties and reeked of alcohol.

"Jimin." Seeing the man, Wang Yiyun looked as if she had found her backbone; she gripped the man's hand tightly: "She is fine now, thanks to this Mr. Chen's intervention."

"As long as she is fine." The man finally let out a sigh of relief. He turned to look at Chen Yu, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your help. This is a check; it is a small token of my appreciation, please do not refuse."

As the man spoke, he took out a check, wrote down a number, and respectfully handed it to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu stared at the man. From the moment the man appeared, his expression had been somewhat surprised, because the man's appearance was exactly the same as Zhou Jimin, the younger brother of Zhou Jihai, in the files Mu Xi had given him.

Could it really be such a coincidence? He took the check and glanced at the signature on it, where the three large, flamboyant characters "Zhou Jimin" were written.

"Is this your daughter?" Chen Yu asked as he put away the check.

"Yes. I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be such a high-level expert despite his young age," Zhou Jimin nodded slightly and said, "Is my Yueyue alright now?"

"There are no major issues for now; I have already explained this to your wife just a moment ago," Chen Yu said indifferently. "Your daughter has a Yin-leaning constitution and is sensitive to cold. Do not let her go to places like graveyards or ancestral halls again. Also, tell her that if she wants to keep her Life, she must never play games like Spirit Pen again."

"I understand. Thank you, Mr. Chen. Please rest in the living room for a moment; I will drive you back shortly," Zhou Jimin said gratefully.

"No need, I can go back myself," Chen Yu shook his head, turned, and walked out.

Zhou Jimin, according to the files, was a second-generation heir who indulged in wine and women. He was forty-two years old and unmarried, living solely off a small stake in Yalong.

However, judging from Zhou Jimin's words, actions, and demeanor just now, he was not at all as the files indicated.

Moreover, he had a family and an illegitimate daughter. With the capabilities of Mu Xi's Star Moon Studio, they couldn't even uncover this information about him; it seemed he usually hid himself very deeply.

Things were getting more and more interesting. Zhou Jihai, Zhou Jimin, the unsolved mysteries from back then, and his own relationship with He Lingyun—it all made Chen Yu look forward to what was to come.

"The information on Zhou Jimin is incorrect. Re-investigate him," Chen Yu sent a message to Mu Xi. He felt that Zhou Jimin had secrets.

"Received," Mu Xi replied.

"Boss Chen, someone has come to cause trouble at the venue I just took over. The other party is from the underworld; I'm afraid Ji Xin won't be able to hold them off." Just as he was about to leave, Chen Yu received a call from Chen Biao.

"I'll be there immediately," Chen Yu said only one sentence, then hurried toward that venue.

Haitang Club, a very famous club in Ning City.

This place was previously managed by Baozi. Because of his strong connections, the variety of entertainment in the club, and the sale of some contraband, the place was very popular.

But now that Baozi was inside, this place had become a site contested by all parties. Currently, the club's main doors were tightly shut, and two groups of people were sitting in the lobby.

Chen Biao and Ji Xin were together, with a group of burly men standing behind them.

On the other side was a young man with puffy eyes; his complexion was slightly pale and his eye sockets were slightly sunken. One look told you he was the type of person whose body had been hollowed out by wine and women.

Beside him was a man whose eyes were sharp and piercing. This man's temples were bulging; anyone with a discerning eye could tell he was a Martial Arts Expert.

"Heh, Ji Xin, you damn bastard, you really don't know what's good for you. Isn't it good working under my father? You have status and face. What are you even doing following Chen Biao? He used to be Baozi's lackey, and even Baozi didn't take him seriously," the young man sneered.

"Li Qi, get one thing straight. I'm not working for Chen Biao. My boss isn't him; at most, he and I are colleagues," Ji Xin said indifferently. "Working for your father? Heh, has he ever treated me like a human being?"

"Heh, he didn't treat you like a human?" Li Qi stood up and said viciously, "My father thought highly of you, which is why he kept you by his side. And you? You betrayed my father. Without my father, would you have what you have today?"

"Then I really must thank your father," Ji Xin laughed. "Thank him for using Gu to control me for so long. I thank his whole family."

"Enough nonsense. Ji Xin, I'll give you one more chance. Surrender obediently right now and come back with me to accept your punishment. My father might overlook this for the sake of our past relationship," Li Qi said angrily.

"Go back with you, so your father can continue to not treat me like a human? Continue to keep me trapped with Gu?" Ji Xin said coldly. "How did such a brain-dead idea even pop into your head?"

"Ji Xin, my father sees you as a talent, which is why he entrusted you with important tasks. Since you don't know what's good for you, fine. Today, I will clean up the house for my father and finish you off." Li Qi smiled, turned his head, and shouted, "Feng Qian."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Martial Arts Expert with the bulging temples behind him stepped forward. With a "Crack!", the floor tiles under his feet cracked slightly.

"Kill him," Li Qi pointed at Ji Xin.

Feng Qian nodded. He stared at Ji Xin, his eyes emitting a killing intent as sharp as a blade. He reached his right hand to his waist and shouted in a deep voice, "Successor of the Wuliang Flying Dagger, Feng Qian."

"Hmm, Ji Xin," Ji Xin nodded. "Let's do it."

"Then you'd better be careful." Feng Qian's killing intent locked onto Ji Xin. He took a deep breath, and with a flick of his right hand from his waist, with a "Whoosh!", a flying dagger as thin as a willow leaf trailed a streak of light as it flew toward Ji Xin.

Ji Xin performed a violent backflip, dodging to the side.

However, Feng Qian's Wuliang Flying Dagger was also a legendary King of Hidden Weapons in the martial arts world. Even though Ji Xin's strength was great and he had the blessing of talent, he still couldn't dodge this flying dagger.

With a "Puff!", a spray of blood erupted from Ji Xin's arm, and the flying dagger nailed itself into the marble pillar behind him with a "Clack!".

Ji Xin retreated several steps, finally neutralizing the impact of the flying dagger. His face was slightly pale, and his hair was disheveled.

"Ji Xin, are you alright?" Chen Biao was shocked.

He only thought the expert Li Qi brought was formidable, but he didn't expect him to be this formidable. Ji Xin was a natural-born killer, yet he had actually suffered a setback at his hands.

"I'm fine." Ji Xin gritted his teeth. He flipped his hands, and two Daggers appeared in his palms. He hunched his body slightly, his eyes emitting a light like that of a venomous snake.

"That was just a small test. Next, you'd better be careful," Feng Qian grinned. He extended his hand, and two willow-leaf daggers appeared in his palms. He held his breath, focused his mind, and locked onto Ji Xin.

Suddenly, he raised his right hand, and the two willow-leaf daggers tore through the air, stirring up transparent streaks of light as they attacked Ji Xin.
