I led Jiu Yuan, whose beautiful red eyes were now rolled up, over to greet Zhou Wusheng. Zhou Wusheng sighed helplessly.
Although Jiu Yuan's background is pitiful, she is ultimately a being from a different realm—human or ghost—and today she slaughtered the entire Shen family.
It's already against the law, but what can we do when Jiuyuan has a powerful background and strong capabilities?
Although I broke the law, most people will just pretend they didn't see it, but I want to repay their kindness.
We can't be ungrateful; we should say something nice and leave a good impression.
We didn't linger; after exchanging greetings, we quickly made our way, because Jiu Yuan hadn't been in a very good mood the whole way.
I didn't waste any more time on small talk; I escorted her all the way back to the Lingyin Palace base, then hurried off to catch up with the plane.
Finally, just as they were approaching the Fengtianfu Military Airport, they caught the plane.
Even with my martial arts prowess, it was still quite a run. Once on the plane, everyone was curious why I could sit on a plane and look like I was about to suffocate.
I couldn't tell the truth either, so I changed the subject and talked about other things. But Old Huang and Daoist Yunhe knew why.
Wen and the others were holding back their laughter, but they couldn't. And when I told them about the fate of the entire Shen family...
Everyone fell silent again, and Wen Ge opened his mouth several times as if to ask something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
I knew what he wanted to ask, and in the end I just nodded silently.
Wen Ge suddenly seemed deflated, his energy and spirits plummeting. Even though he wasn't her lover...
But as someone who had once admired him, Wen Ge was not happy at all, but he didn't dwell on it for long and recovered quite a bit.
Only then did everyone realize that what he had said before—that he and Miss Qi had nothing going on—was not true.
After all, no one can recover so quickly after hearing the news of the death of someone they love.
No one made fun of him about it anymore; everyone just closed their eyes and quietly waited for the plane to land.
Straight-line flights are fast, really. Our trip took several months, but the last flight returned in less than two days.
As soon as I got off the plane, I saw Brother Gao with a convoy waiting for me. I laughed and stretched out my hands to Brother Gao.
She gave him a big hug and joked, "How could I let Brother Gao come to pick me up in person? Just send someone, a few cars, that would have been fine."
But after Gao's brother hugged me, he remained silent with a gloomy expression. I tilted my head and looked at him.
I awaited his next piece of bad news, and he looked at me with difficulty as he said, "Do you remember the Dongyu Corporation you had cleaned up before you left? Something happened."
My eyes immediately turned cold, and I frowned as I said, "What's going on? How dare a little Japanese company run rampant? Isn't anyone in the family going to step in and teach them a lesson? That can't be right. If I were to issue a statement, quite a few people would probably give me face."
Brother Gao didn't say anything more, but simply gestured for everyone to get in the car, and they would talk in detail while walking together.
I still haven't realized how serious the situation is; I just think someone pleaded with the Japanese and things didn't go well.
But when Brother Gao told me the whole story, I was so angry I couldn't speak.
It turns out he's the heir of the Jiuyuan family, the backers of Dongyu Corporation. Somehow, he's gotten in touch with the "Corpse Demon Sect," a second-tier force within the Demonic Sect.
When Yin Xingge led his men to raid the house, Tu Hongxi, a prodigy from the Corpse Demon Sect, happened to be a guest at Dongyu Corporation and took over the matter.
