Chapter 935: It Really Was Him

~8 min read 1,414 words

"I am going to the Civil Affairs Bureau with your sister this afternoon to divorce her; this time, I am the one proposing it." Cheng Gang barked, "I have long since had enough of your whole family. The sooner we divorce, the sooner I can have peace."

"You, what did you say?" Li Guocheng was dumbfounded. Was Cheng Gang playing for real this time?

"I am going to divorce her, did you hear me?" Cheng Gang raised his voice and repeated, "Furthermore, the money she secretly took and transferred to you during the marriage belongs to our joint marital property."

"Since she secretly transferred assets, I can sue in court to recover a portion, or even make her spit it all back out." Cheng Gang shouted, "Do you really think I am someone to be bullied?"

"Brother-in-law, don't, brother-in-law. I was just joking earlier. Brother-in-law, you have to help me." Li Guocheng immediately cowered.

"I'll ask you one thing: who told you to poison us? Say it, and I'll leave you a whole corpse." Cheng Gang asked.

"I really can't say, brother-in-law." Li Guocheng said with a mournful face.

Slap... Chen Yu, who was to the side, slapped him across the face. Although the slap wasn't heavy, it left him dizzy and disoriented.

"I, I can't say."

Slap... Another slap was delivered. Li Guocheng slammed heavily into the wall to the side, his head spinning and throbbing.

"It was given to me by Huzi. He, he is one of Young Master Lu's men."

Li Guocheng was a complete coward. Before Chen Yu had even used his full strength, this guy had already spilled everything. He said with a mournful face, "Brother-in-law, I didn't mean to. I was just short on money."

"So it really was that brat." Chen Yu sneered, "If you had said so earlier, wouldn't you have avoided those two slaps?"

"Brother-in-law, I was momentarily blinded by greed. I beg you to save me. If the Zhou Family comes for me, I definitely won't survive." Li Guocheng plopped onto the ground and begged.

"I can barely protect myself now. If President Zhou wants to pursue this, we will all die. You should look out for yourself." Cheng Gang sighed and shoved him away.

"Lu Jin." Chen Yu said to himself, "I didn't want to kill you, but since you are courting death yourself, then don't blame me."

As Chen Yu spoke, he kicked Li Guocheng in the chest.

With a 'pfft', Li Guocheng spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. He lay on the ground and began to twitch uncontrollably.

Although Chen Yu's kick didn't take his life, he didn't hold back either. This kick left him half-crippled; it would likely be difficult for him to live as a normal person in the future.

"I won't kill you. I'll leave you for the Zhou Family to deal with. I'm going to find Lu Jin now. I want to see just how capable this 'Xianyang Little Overlord' really is."

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he turned and left. Cheng Gang, standing to the side, hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't bear it; he called an ambulance and also left the place.

"It's almost noon, damn it, why is there still no news?" In a private villa, Lu Jin had been waiting for news from the other side.

"Young Master Lu, please be patient. I have already arranged everything. The poison definitely must have been administered. Perhaps the effects haven't kicked in yet. Don't worry, as soon as there is news, I will notify you immediately." A man with a wretched appearance said.

This man was the 'Tiger' that Li Guocheng had mentioned. He was also Lu Jin's 'dog-headed strategist' who often came up with crooked ideas.

"Bullshit! This poison was left behind by my great-grandmother. Never mind a few ordinary people; even a master of the Dao would be half-dead if they touched that poison. Why the hell would I need to wait for the effects to kick in?"

Lu Jin cursed as he stood up. He paced the room a few times, feeling uneasy the whole time. He raged, "Tiger, make a call and ask what the situation is. Did those people take the bait or not?"

"Alright, Young Master Lu, please wait a moment. I'll call and ask about the situation right now." Tiger nodded and hurriedly took out his phone to make the call.

"Young Master Lu, the call to that guy Li Guocheng won't go through." A moment later, Tiger walked over, looking puzzled.

"You damn piece of trash, you can't even handle such a small matter? What use are you to me?" Lu Jin was furious.

Although Lu Jin was a playboy, that didn't mean he was stupid. Being unable to get through on the phone very likely meant that something had already gone wrong.

"You, Young Master Lu, that guy reported just a moment ago that the poison had been administered. That brat likes to gamble; he probably ran off to a gambling den. Don't worry, I'll be able to contact him in a moment." Tiger said, sounding somewhat uncertain.

"Trash. By the time you confirm it, the opportunity will have long passed." Lu Jin slapped Tiger on the head, "Let's go, this place is no longer safe."

But just at that moment, with a loud 'boom', a person covered in blood was thrown inside. This person was none other than Li Guocheng. He was bruised and battered, his face covered in black and blue marks, and blood was bubbling from his mouth.

"Lu, Young Master Lu, save me."

Lu Jin was startled. He looked up and saw Chen Yu's expressionless face.

"Chen Yu, what do you want to do? This is my private territory. What do you think you're doing by breaking into my private territory?" Lu Jin roared angrily.

"What am I doing?" Chen Yu sneered. He walked in, locked the door behind him, and stared coldly at Lu Jin, "You were about to poison me to death, and you're asking me what I'm doing?"

"Chen Yu, don't go spouting nonsense without evidence." Lu Jin stared coldly at Chen Yu.

"Evidence? It's right here." Chen Yu kicked Li Guocheng, who was lying on the ground, and sneered, "Besides, do I need evidence to deal with you?"

"I'm warning you, Chen Yu, our Lu Family has my great-grandmother presiding over us. She is currently at our ancestral home receiving incense offerings. If you dare touch a single hair on my head, I..." Lu Jin shrieked.

Unfortunately, Chen Yu had no intention of wasting any more words with him today. Chen Yu suddenly looked up, a flash of dark light passing through his eyes.

This gaze carried a sharp, murderous intent. With a 'pfft', Lu Jin spat out a mouthful of blood; one of Chen Yu's Divine Senses had directly sent him flying.

Suddenly, black Qi flashed, and Yinxian appeared out of thin air. He shook the long spear in his hand and thrust it fiercely toward Lu Jin. With a 'pfft', Lu Jin's body collapsed heavily to the ground, but on the tip of Yinxian's long spear, there was now an additional transparent shadow.

This shadow was Lu Jin. He was struggling and twisting in pain on the spear. Immediately after, with a 'clatter', Yinxian shook his iron chain and locked Lu Jin up.

Lu Jin's physical body no longer had any breath of life. He lay on the ground, having become a corpse.

"Take this brat to the Underworld. Let him taste the experience of being boiled in oil and having his skin peeled in Hell." Chen Yu said coldly.

"Yes, Immortal." Yinxian bowed deeply to Chen Yu, but then his expression became hesitant.

"Something the matter? Speak." Chen Yu noticed the hesitation in Yinxian's expression and furrowed his brows.

"Immortal, the matter of our contract has already been discovered by the Underworld Patrol Inspector. I fear that from now on, I will no longer be able to appear at any time or place." Yinxian bowed.

"Patrol Inspector?" Chen Yu frowned, "Does the Underworld have such a position?"

"Yes, it was established by the Underworld Boundary Envoy to prevent Underworld Yin Officials from acting recklessly. It is a Rank Six official position. If it is discovered that I have privately entered into a contract with you, I will be subjected to the punishment of being devoured by the Underworld Fire of Hell." Yinxian said.
