It was like the underworld, an asura slaughterhouse. Pale white bones, headless corpses, and the air was filled with a thick stench of blood that made people want to vomit.
Zhuo Junting was very scared. She was very scared. When she saw the scene in front of her, her soul seemed to leave her body. She could not believe what she was seeing.
Dong — dong — dong.
A series of heavy footsteps came. Ye Xuan slowly walked towards her. This also made Zhuo Junting quickly come to her senses. She staggered backward.
"Ye … Mr. Ye … You want to kill me?" Zhuo Junting said in a trembling voice.
Looking at the frightened Zhuo Junting, Ye Xuan slowly shook his head. There was no pity in his eyes.
"If I did not appear at the right time today, wouldn't my mother have died in vain?" Ye Xuan's tyrannical mood had already calmed down, but his voice was still cold and emotionless.
"Go in peace. I'll leave your corpse intact." Ye Xuan pointed his sword and a ray of sword energy formed between his fingers. It was as if he would kill Zhuo Junting in the next moment.
"Xuan … Little Xuan … Don't kill anyone!"
Suddenly, without waiting for Ye Xuan to act ruthlessly, Ye Xuan's extremely weak voice came from behind him. This also made Ye Xuan's expression change. He looked deeply at Zhuo Junting and waved his sword energy away. Then, he came to Ye Xuan's mother's side.
"Mom, let's go home."
He bent over and picked up Ye Xuan's mother. Under Zhuo Junting's lifeless gaze, Ye Xuan also disappeared from the Hundred Flowers Blooming Hall.
The Bohai Hotel was in chaos.
Countless dining customers scrambled to escape because the entire Bohai Hotel was experiencing a strong earthquake. However, when these customers escaped the hotel, they found that everything was normal. The so-called earthquake seemed to be an illusion.
Ye Ling'er stood outside the hotel. Her face was full of anxiety. Although she was surprised that Ye Xuan suddenly disappeared, she was even more worried about where Ye Xuan went. This big brother of hers was really too mysterious.
"Ling 'er, let's go home."
At some point, Ye Xuan suddenly appeared beside Ye Ling'er with Mother Ye in his arms. When Ye Ling'er saw that Mother Ye was unconscious with blood at the corner of her mouth, she had no time to care about Ye Xuan's mysteriousness. She immediately asked anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Something happened. Fortunately, it's not life-threatening," Ye Xuan said solemnly.
"Brother, let's go to the hospital."
"There's no need. Even the hospital can't save him. I have my ways."
After Ye Xuan finished speaking, he casually hailed a taxi and the family headed straight home.
…
Biyun Pavilion, Ye Xuan's home.
Ye Xuan's palms danced in the air. Streaks of blood-red light filled the air and continuously poured into Mother Ye, who was lying on the bed. Only when the broken bones in Mother Ye's chest recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye and her breathing began to become even did Ye Xuan stop. The heavy stone in his heart was quietly lifted.
From the beginning to the end, Ye Ling'er had been watching Ye Xuan cast spells to save her mother. Her eyes were filled with surprise from time to time. She felt that the big brother in front of her was extremely strange.
"Brother, you … who are you?" Ye Ling'er said uneasily.
"Little sister, this world is very, very big. There are many things that you don't understand. When the time is right, I will naturally tell you," Ye Xuan said calmly.
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Ye Ling'er nodded and said, "Brother, is Mother okay?"
"Many of her bones are broken and her internal organs are injured. Fortunately, I treated her in time. Now, she is not in danger. Her body is a little weak. You stay here and take care of her. I will go out to do something."
Ye Xuan said to his little sister and directly walked out of the house.
…
Jiangnan's Hanging Mirror Department.
Liu Jundie frowned as she stared at Ye Xuan in front of her. A trace of shame and anger flashed across her eyes.
"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you have the support of the Wu 'an Department. Also, I am not your subordinate. What right do you have to order me around?" Liu Jundie said angrily.
Ye Xuan looked at Liu Jundie calmly. He tapped his fingers on the table and said, "I don't want to talk too much with you. I am now ordering you as the guest of the Wu 'an Department. No matter what method you use, find out everything about the Leng Family of Tai' an."
"Impossible!" Liu Jundie slammed the table and stood up.
Ye Xuan slowly got up. A cruel smile appeared on his face. He walked out of the office. However, his cold voice echoed in Liu Jundie's ears.
"You can try and see what will happen if you don't listen to my orders."
Seeing Ye Xuan disappear, Liu Jundie's eyes turned red. Her eyes were filled with tears because Ye Xuan had gone too far.
Crack!
The glass on the desk was shattered by Liu Jundie. "You despicable bastard!" Liu Jundie roared in anger.
After venting her anger, Liu Jundie calmed down completely. She knew that Ye Xuan was a cold-blooded person. There was nothing that he did not dare to do.
Liu Jundie picked up the phone and dialed Azure Dragon's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, what is it?"
Liu Jundie quickly recounted everything that happened at the Bohai Hotel. She also told him that Ye Xuan had ordered her to investigate the Leng Family. This made Azure Dragon on the other end of the phone silent for a long time.
"The Leng Family is an ancient martial arts family. This is a serious matter. Don't do anything for now. Let me talk to Mr. Ye first." Azure Dragon said seriously and hung up the phone.
…
At the same time, in the Zhuo Family.
Elder Zhuo's face was solemn. There was panic in his eyes. Zhuo Junting stood in front of him with her eyes lowered. It was as if she had made a grave mistake.
"Junting, I've watched you grow up. I've always had high hopes for you. But this time, you've disappointed me." Elder Zhuo scolded coldly.
"Grandpa, I …"
"Shut up!"
Elder Zhuo paced back and forth in the living room. Then, he suddenly looked at Zhuo Junting and said, "I've told you before. This Mr. Ye is not an ordinary person. He only has a mother and a sister. You don't even know his mother. How can I trust you with the Zhuo Family?"
"Grandpa, I was wrong. But it has happened. What should we do?" Zhuo Junting said with a pale face.
"What should we do?"
Elder Zhuo's face was gloomy. There was a struggle in his eyes. It was obvious that he was making a decision.
In fact, the reason why Leng Qingxue came to Jiangnan City was that Elder Zhuo had paid a lot of money to the Leng Family to find out the truth about him being haunted by ghosts.
Originally, Elder Zhuo wanted to visit Ye Xuan in person. Firstly, he wanted to get closer to him. Secondly, he wanted to ask Ye Xuan to help him find the real culprit. However, Ye Xuan's whereabouts were erratic and he was often not at home. He did not have the chance to visit him. That was why Leng Qingxue came to Jiangnan City.
But now, Leng Qingxue had died in Jiangnan City. As the inviters, the Zhuo Family had an unshirkable responsibility. When the Leng Family found out about this, they would definitely punish the Zhuo Family. The Zhuo Family could not bear the consequences.
Now, Elder Zhuo only had two choices.
First, he could quickly tell the Leng Family about this and push all the blame to Ye Xuan. This was the only way to protect the Zhuo Family.
Second, he could completely offend the Leng Family and completely stand on Ye Xuan's side to make up for Zhuo Junting's mistake. This could also ease the relationship between the Zhuo Family and Ye Xuan.
This was a choice that concerned the survival of the Zhuo Family. How could Elder Zhuo not be troubled?
"Dad, we can't offend the Leng Family. In my opinion, we should quickly tell the Leng Family about this," Zhuo Wenbin suggested.
"No, this Mr. Ye saved our father's life. If we do that, wouldn't it be too dishonorable?" Zhuo Wenshan refuted.
"Brother, we can't afford to offend the Leng Family. Do you want to see the Zhuo Family destroyed?" Zhuo Wenbin scolded coldly.
"Enough, I'm not dead yet. What are you guys arguing about?"
Elder Zhuo scolded his two sons angrily. Then, he said in a low voice, "I'll personally visit this Mr. Ye tonight. As for what to do, we'll talk about it when I come back."
