Chapter 2443: Chapter 2445: Foolish Actions

After learning the purpose of Qinghuang Sect, Xiao Chen lost his only goodwill towards it.

Having spoken, Xiao Chen got into the car and sped away.

Qingye and the others watched as Xiao Chen’s car sped away.

A sinister grin appeared.

He had received instructions to bring Xiao Chen back by any means necessary.

It looked like this guy was impervious to persuasion, and harsher measures were needed.

In the car, Jiang Meng seemed hesitant to speak.

Xiao Chen smiled and briefly explained the situation to Jiang Meng.

However, he didn’t mention Qinghuang Sect’s intent to use him as a scapegoat.

He didn’t want Jiang Meng to worry.

"I see, they must have ulterior motives."

Jiang Meng clenched her fist and said, "Honey, I will always support you, whether you go or not!

Anyway, we’re not short of money.

I’ll take care of you, husband!"

"Haha! You’re the best, wife!"

Xiao Chen truly felt that he was quite happy in this life, despite having an unhappy past.

But now, things felt pretty good.

Having a wife was enough.

Soon, they returned to the Ding Family’s villa.

Standing at the entrance, Xiao Chen coldly glanced behind.

They actually sent someone to follow him.

How boring.

"This place is nice, such a good villa, not something ordinary people can afford!"

Seeing the Ding Family villa, Qingye couldn’t help but remark, "Could it be he’s wealthy and truly doesn’t care about what Qinghuang Sect has to offer?"

"It’s probably that woman’s. I heard she’s the president of some group.

This kid is just living off her."

"But it’s strange, they’re divorced, yet still living together.

Is it really so good to live off someone else?"

Someone beside them commented.

In their view, Xiao Chen was just staying in Jiang Meng’s villa, refusing to leave.

"Executor Qingye, what should we do?"

Someone asked.

"Take action, kidnap him. Since persuasion doesn’t work, we’ll resort to force and bring him back to the Provincial City."

Qingye said coldly, "Ungrateful fool."

"Yes!"

Several people climbed over the wall and entered the villa.

Qingye stayed in the car, but just as he lit a cigarette.

He noticed that the dozen or so people he sent in were thrown out.

He was stunned.

Though these people weren’t top-tier experts, they were Martial Artists in the Inner Strength Phase.

Yet they were thrown out so easily. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Was there an expert in this villa?

At that moment, the gate opened.

Ding Mulan walked out.

She visited Xiao Chen daily and reported work.

She didn’t expect to encounter this situation today.

Qingye wanted to escape.

Judging from Ding Mulan’s demeanor, it was clear she was no ordinary person.

However, after the car started, flooring the accelerator did nothing.

He suddenly realized there was someone in front of the car, holding it down with one hand.

He tried to reverse.

It was futile.

The vehicle was firmly held in place.

The engine blew, but he couldn’t escape.

Ding Mulan ripped the car door open.

Qingye attempted to fight back, but after a few moves, he was subdued by Ding Mulan.

Qingye was only a First Level Martial Artist in the Meridian Opening Phase.

Ding Mulan was Ninth Level in the Meridian Opening Phase.

The time gap between them was vast.

Qingye was simply no match for Ding Mulan.

"Heh, trying to steal here, what bad luck on your part."

Ding Mulan sneered and called Yama Hall.

Ding Li promptly sent people to capture the entire group.

An hour later.

In the Provincial City, Qinghuang Sect.

Huang Qingshan received the news.

It was a call from Tianhai City asking him to come redeem his people.

"Useless fools, these idiots can’t do anything right, got themselves caught by Yama Hall?

Have they got donkey brains?"

Huang Qingshan was furious.

He, like the one from Jinyu Sect, disliked getting involved with officials.

Unfortunate that trouble found them again.

Beside him, Huang Linglang said, "Dad, let me handle this. I’ve always said Qingye is incompetent.

It’s said he got angry after several failed attempts to invite Xiao Chen and decided to kidnap him.

Can’t imagine how he encountered someone from Yama Hall."

"Didn’t expect this kid to be so stubborn, what does he want?"

Huang Qingshan furrowed his brow, sensing that force might be necessary when facing resistance.

"It’s likely Huang Ningxia shared past events with him.

Blaming us for not protecting them, for driving them out."

Huang Linglang chuckled, "Dad, don’t worry, I’ll go apologize to him; we had our difficulties back then. He’ll understand.

Just a little troublemaker, some smooth words will suffice."

"Remember, be very polite.

Endure the anger for now, it’ll solve our problem.

Ultimately, we need him, so don’t offend him lightly."

Huang Qingshan advised.

"Don’t worry, dad, I know what to do."

Huang Linglang also has a son, who is excellent.

Among all the disciples, he’s most likely to be chosen.

So he must resolve this quickly.

Not letting his son be concerned.

That night, Huang Linglang arrived in Tianhai City.

He paid to get Qingye and the others released.

Because they hadn’t committed a major crime, it was relatively easy.

"Third Young Master, I was useless, but Xiao Chen is truly ungrateful."

Qingye knelt on the ground, feeling wrongly accused.

"Hmph, waste, tomorrow come with me to the company, see how I handle it."

Huang Linglang didn’t say much.

The next morning, they arrived at Bailong Group’s Tianhai City headquarters, waiting for Xiao Chen.

From 7 AM, they waited until noon.

Xiao Chen finally strolled in.

They had no idea—that Xiao Chen’s work hours weren’t fixed and varied based on his mood.

Waiting for five hours, Huang Linglang was quite irritated.

Didn’t even have breakfast.

Now starving with a growling stomach.

But he held back.

Upon seeing Xiao Chen, he immediately lunged tearfully towards him.

"Dear child, I am your uncle."

Xiao Chen swiftly dodged.

Almost causing Huang Linglang to fall.

Luckily, he was trained in martial arts and steadied himself.

Though he still looked somewhat disheveled.

"Xiao Chen, I truly am your uncle. When your mother was pregnant with you at Qinghuang Sect, we all cared for her.

Back then, Qinghuang Sect was indeed at fault.

But we had no choice; the ones targeting your mother were from the Black and White Divine Palace.

We couldn’t possibly confront them.

We’ve been searching for you all these years.

Finally, we’ve found you.

Your master’s health isn’t good, so he sent me to fetch you and your mother.

We want you to return gloriously to Qinghuang Sect.

We’ve decided.

Even if the Black and White Divine Palace doesn’t spare us, we won’t care anymore.

We won’t wrong the deceased Ruiyi!"

Deceased?

Huang Ruiyi is dead?

Xiao Chen was stunned.

Wasn’t she said to be imprisoned?

He hadn’t repaid his gratitude, how could his benefactor just die?

Alas, the heavens are blind.
