"Ah, Ye Xingchen, Young Master An won't let you get away with this!" Cheng Tao screamed, not forgetting to utter a threat.
"Is that so?" Ye Xingchen clicked the trigger, cocked the pistol again, and fired without hesitation at Cheng Tao's other thigh.
Bang... Cheng Tao curled up into a ball, clutching his injured leg, looking at Ye Xingchen in terror, and letting out a suppressed roar.
Although it was two shots, neither wound was fatal.
Ye Xingchen casually tossed the gun to An Mingyu: "Can we go now?"
"You can leave now." Although An Mingyu was unwilling, he still let out a heavy sigh.
People from Xuan Yu Pavilion, let alone him, even if his patriarch were to show them some respect.
Cheng Tao stared at An Mingyu with his mouth agape, unable to believe his eyes.
He could hardly believe that this was the An Mingyu he knew.
He's a member of the An family, so why is he giving in to this mongrel this time?
"Let's go." Ye Xingchen took Du Fang's hand and went out the door.
"That scared me to death." Du Fang patted her chest after leaving the house.
"I'll have the security department provide you with a driver and bodyguards to protect your safety," Ye Xingchen said.
"Isn't it unnecessary?" Du Fang was slightly taken aback.
"You haven't realized that what you have in your hand has already attracted attention," Ye Xingchen said helplessly. "Advanced purification technology, if used in drugs, how much profit could there be? Use your little brain and think about it carefully."
Ye Xingchen patted her head, a gesture that was somewhat affectionate.
"Alright then, as long as you care about me, that's enough." Du Fang chuckled and took Ye Xingchen's arm.
"Don't take this lightly. Your blind date is now eyeing your skills, and there will be a lot of danger ahead," Ye Xingchen warned.
"It's okay, you're here to protect me, aren't you? I'm not afraid," Du Fang said earnestly.
The next day, at Qinghe Mountain Villa.
These past few days, Su Jin has stayed by Shen Qinghe's side, and she has officially changed her surname to 'Shen'.
Shen Qinghe has already sent people to pick up her parents and two older brothers, and the family will be reunited soon.
"Mr. Ye, I was able to find my family this time thanks to your help. I thank you very much, Mr. Ye." Shen Qinghe was very grateful to Ye Xingchen.
He felt that Ye Xingchen was his benefactor; if it weren't for Ye Xingchen, his daughter-in-law would probably have died along with her unborn child.
If it weren't for Ye Xingchen, he wouldn't have known that the girl he met in Yunnan and Guizhou forty years ago actually left him with a son.
"It was something that Master Chen was destined to have, and I was just helping out by going with the flow." Ye Xingchen smiled faintly. "It's fortunate that Su Jin was able to find her family."
“This child looks about 60% like her grandmother when she was young.” Shen Qinghe looked at Su Jin sitting next to him with a doting expression: “Mr. Ye, I asked Su Jin, and she wants to stay by your side.”
"Follow me?" Ye Xingchen looked at Su Jin with some surprise. "Why?"
“I came down the mountain to gain experience. My master and the four elders of the Xuanwu Clan told me that I would meet a benefactor on this trip down the mountain.”
Su Jin said, "He can help me find my relatives and help me grow. That person is you. So I want to stay by your side for five years, firstly to repay you, and secondly to help myself grow."
"Alright, you can leave whenever you want during these five years." Ye Xingchen was delighted.
This is a real gem! Su Jin's elusive Gu poison and witchcraft are so powerful that even experts at the Heavenly Realm level can't defend against them.
Most importantly, this allowed him to gain the support of the Xuanwu Sect, a mysterious and powerful sect located deep in the mountains.
"Also, Mr. Shen, I remember you said that your master went to Yunnan and Guizhou forty years ago? That time, he fought the Japanese and both sides were badly injured?" Ye Xingchen asked.
“Yes, that place is a dragon vein. Although we defeated the enemy, China also paid a heavy price,” Shen Qinghe said in a deep voice.
“That makes sense. Nico’s people are here to restart the plan from back then, but this time they’re not going to sabotage it, they’re going to target the MRT.” Ye Xingchen frowned.
"They dare to come again?" Shen Qinghe's expression was cold and stern: "I'll have someone chop them up right now."
"Don't be impatient, Master Chen," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "It's easy to chop them down, but the problem remains."
“That place is where the dragon vein is located. As long as it is not locked, they will come back again. I want to take this opportunity to completely seal off the entrance to that dragon vein and put an end to their plans.”
"Alright, Mr. Ye, please feel free to ask if there's anything I can do to assist you." Shen Qinghe clasped his hands in a fist salute.
At Jinghong Club, Ning Qingyan had just returned after dropping Xin Xin off at school.
After Xin Xin was kidnapped last time, she never dared to let Xin Xin go to and from school alone again, and personally picked her up and dropped her off every day.
She took out the Jade Slip Heavenly Book and placed it in front of Ye Xingchen: "From today onwards, you will be in charge of keeping the Jade Slip Heavenly Book."
"This was left behind by your great-grandfather, and you must protect it," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"The secrets within the Jade Slip Heavenly Book are related to the dragon vein of China." Ning Qingyan shook her head and said, "It's easy to swear an oath, but if I lack the ability and cause such an important thing to fall into the hands of the Japanese, then I will be a sinner."
"Ye Xingchen, in this world, you are the only person I trust, so from now on, you shall protect the Jade Slip Heavenly Book."
"I suddenly feel a heavy responsibility." After taking the jade slip and the heavenly book, Ye Xingchen sighed softly: "If it were anyone else, I would have refused, but I can't refuse you, you little devil."
“We’ve been upholding this responsibility for three generations, it’s time to relax a bit.” Ning Qingyan chuckled, snuggling into Ye Xingchen’s arms like a kitten.
Ye Xingchen held her and looked at the jade slip book for a long time, but he was at a loss as to what was hidden in the book.
Reluctantly, he put the book away. The secrets within the celestial book were beyond his comprehension for the time being, so he had no choice but to put it away and take it back for later reference.
I spent the morning at the club, and at noon I accompanied Ning Qingyan to pick up Xin Xin.
As soon as we stepped out of the clubhouse, a specially made business vehicle pulled up.
The driver was a woman; she had her head down and seemed somewhat silent.
"Who is she? Where is Lao Yao who was driving?" Ning Qingyan was about to get into the car when she saw the female driver stop.
"President Ning, Lao Yao is sick. This is a temporary replacement for Lao Yao," a subordinate replied.
“A new face, someone new here?” Ning Qingyan looked at the female driver: “Raise your head so I can see you.”
The female driver looked up, still somewhat silent. Ye Xingchen frowned. This woman was very young, with excellent looks and a superior demeanor; she was definitely not a driver.
"What's your name?" Ye Xingchen asked.
"Si Qianyu".
"What's your background? What's your purpose here?" Ye Xingchen leaned forward and stood halfway in front of Ning Qingyan.
Si Qianyu slowly raised her head, a smile curving her lips. Her eyes were sharp and terrifying, and she slowly uttered two words: "Murder."
