Chapter 871: Offending Someone

"Gou Ge, I heard that the day before yesterday we tampered with something, and today that chemical plant caught fire. I also heard that the president of the He Group is now sick and hospitalized." Someone echoed, "People in the Metaphysics World are truly formidable."

"Indeed, killing without leaving a trace. Brothers, don't blame me for not warning you; there are many experts in this world. We must never offend such people, otherwise, they won't care if you are a high-ranking official or a noble; they will find a way to finish you."

Zhang Ergou sighed, "People like us are just like ants in front of them."

"Gou Ge, that Master Xun is quite famous. Why is he plotting against the He Group president this time?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that the son of the He Group's boss injured one of Master Xun's disciples, and the two are scheduled to have a Life and Death Order duel in a few days," Zhang Ergou said mysteriously.

"So that's how it is. It's a pity the He Group boss is being plotted against and is still kept in the dark. Her son is really a pitfall for his parent," someone sighed.

"Exactly. These young masters from wealthy families think they are something just because they have a bit of filthy money. Hmph, in Master Xun's eyes, they are nothing," Zhang Ergou snorted coldly.

"Drink, drink." The group raised their glasses again.

Just at this moment, a knock sounded at the door.

"Who is it? What are you doing so late? We're closed," someone shouted impatiently.

But the knocking continued incessantly. The group was already somewhat drunk, and one of them stood up, grabbed a tool, and walked over while cursing, "Which piece of trash is it? Why are you knocking so late? Watch me kill you."

He threw the door open, and just as he was about to start cursing, his body stiffened. His hands raised involuntarily, and the stool in his hand dropped to the floor with a *clatter*.

"Lao Liu, what's wrong?" The others were startled and stood up one after another.

They saw Lao Liu, who had opened the door, backing away involuntarily with both hands raised.

Muffled sounds came from his mouth, and a look of terror appeared on his face.

Outside the door, a large man was holding a gun, with the muzzle shoved into Lao Liu's mouth.

This gun was the real deal, and the safety was already off. If the other party moved a finger, Lao Liu would be blown to pieces.

Furthermore, it was unclear when a group of men in black suits had surrounded the place. There must have been over a hundred of them, surrounding this small room tightly.

A young man walked slowly into the room; this person was none other than Chen Yu.

"Everyone, is there something you need? We are just honest business people," Zhang Ergou's voice held a hint of fear.

This guy was a notorious thug in the antique shop scene, making his living by grave robbing. He usually wouldn't offend any big shots because he never had the opportunity.

But the scene before him clearly indicated that a big shot had arrived.

"Are you Zhang Ergou?" Chen Yu walked into the room and glanced at Zhang Ergou.

"Yes, it's me. Brother, what is this all about?" Zhang Ergou swallowed hard; his earlier bravado had vanished without a trace.

"Hmm, you don't know what you've been doing lately?" Chen Yu stared at Zhang Ergou.

"I... I haven't done anything?" Zhang Ergou said with a mournful face.

"Is that so?" Chen Yu sneered. He took out three Fire Boil Blood Insects and placed them in front of Zhang Ergou: "Do you know what these are?"

"This..." Zhang Ergou was stunned. This was what he had threatened Xu Yi to place under the bed in He Lingyun's office bedroom; how could he not recognize it?

As for the identity of the group before him, there was no need to say more; he already understood.

But could he admit to this? Of course not; he couldn't admit it even if he died.

"I don't know what these things are. Brother, are you selling rare items? You've come to the right person. I know many friends who specialize in collecting these special things; they would definitely be interested in them," Zhang Ergou said, steadying himself.

"Good, not bad." Chen Yu sneered. He turned his head and looked at Gelin: "Besides him, who else participated in these matters?"

"The three in the room all participated, and this kid is one of them," Gelin pointed at Lao Liu.

"Kill him," Chen Yu spat out the two words indifferently.

Gelin waved his hand, and a bodyguard beside him suddenly stepped forward, clamped a hand over Lao Liu's mouth, and then a cold light flashed.

A stream of fresh blood flowed down Lao Liu's neck. Lao Liu's eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground with a *thud*, convulsing violently.

Blood flowed down his neck, his eyes filled with horror. After a few more convulsions, he lay on the ground and stopped breathing.

"Big Brother, I don't know anything, Big Brother! I beg you to spare us! We just dig up other people's graves and pull off scams; we haven't done anything else bad!" Zhang Ergou was so scared that he fell to his knees with a *thud*, wetting his pants.

*Pfft*... Another person behind Zhang Ergou fell to the ground, a Dagger plunged into his stomach, looking as if he died with a grievance.

"I'll talk! Big Brother, I'll say everything!" Zhang Ergou screamed hysterically. He had truly never seen such a ruthless person.

He knelt on the ground, speaking incoherently: "It was... it was a master from the Metaphysics World who made me do these things. Burying the Glazed Pagoda, hanging the Copper Mirror on the opposite building, and putting the insects under the bed were all instigated by him."

"Who is that person?" Chen Yu leaned down and stared at Zhang Ergou.

"He, he... wouldn't let me say his name." Zhang Ergou looked at Chen Yu in fear: "Big Brother, please spare me. I was just taking money to do a job. That master has many methods; if I talk, I definitely won't live past tomorrow."

Chen Yu waved his hand, and with a *pfft*, Zhang Ergou's last henchman also fell into a pool of blood.

"What are you doing? Do you know who the master behind me is? He is Master Xun, Xun Hongfang from Shengjing! He even dares to mess with the He Family of the Three Great Families. If you dare to touch me, he will definitely make sure you die without a burial place!"

Zhang Ergou screamed; he was almost going insane.

Honestly, he was just a small-time thug who had just hooked up with Xun Hongfang, thinking he would soar to the heavens from then on.

Although he had been a thug before, stabbed people, and ambushed others, this was the first time he had seen someone as ruthless as Chen Yu, who would draw blood without a word.

"Heh, so it really is Xun Hongfang," Chen Yu sneered: "We agreed on the Life and Death Order the day after tomorrow to settle our grievances, but he has no sense of martial ethics and acted in advance."

Chen Yu was furious; he was truly enraged. He had always thought Xun Hongfang was a high-level expert, and at most, he was just a bit protective of his own.
