Deep in the night!
Ye Cangtian was sitting cross-legged in the living room, circulating his vital energy. Lately, he had discovered he seemed to have reached a bottleneck, unable to break through a certain barrier no matter how he cultivated.
This situation had persisted for several days!
Ever since the old guy taught him the method of circulating vital energy, that old fossil had not offered any further guidance, leaving him to figure everything out himself.
To be a master like that old guy, there was truly no one else like him!
A moment later!
Ye Cangtian withdrew from his cultivation. After a full circulation of his vital energy, there was no effect whatsoever. It seemed this bottleneck couldn't be smoothly broken through by cultivation alone!
"Dong dong dong..."
Suddenly, he heard movement from outside. The "dong dong dong" sound wasn't a knock, but the sound of a hammer hitting a wall.
Ye Cangtian pulled a cigarette from the coffee table, put it in his mouth, turned, and opened the door.
Seeing the scene outside, he lit the cigarette and couldn't help but chuckle, "Officer Xu, not sleeping in the middle of the night, what are you doing?"
Xu Weiwei stood on a ladder, holding a hammer, and looked back at him when she heard his voice, then snorted, "Mind your own business!"
Was this girl installing a surveillance camera?
Was she guarding against thieves? Or against me?
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow, exhaled a puff of smoke, and grinned, "Do you need my help?"
Xu Weiwei hesitated for a moment, then got off the ladder, thrust the hammer into Ye Cangtian's hand, and tilted her chin up, "Then you do it! Point the camera towards your door!"
"..."
It was indeed to guard against me! Ye Cangtian couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, took the hammer, and scrambled up the ladder.
Before long, the surveillance camera was installed!
Xu Weiwei clapped her hands with satisfaction, took the hammer back from Ye Cangtian, and carrying the ladder, returned to her room.
"Bang!"
Ye Cangtian sheepishly touched his nose. Helping to install a surveillance camera to monitor himself was truly speechless!
However, it didn't matter much!
Meanwhile, Xu Weiwei, having returned to her room, put down her tools and eagerly opened her phone.
Soon, the surveillance footage appeared on her phone screen.
"I don't believe I can't catch you! So you can find women and do bad things later!" Xu Weiwei triumphantly shook her fist at Ye Cangtian in the surveillance footage.
She had only thought of installing the camera today!
Today, something happened at the Tang family, and the wanted assassin died unexpectedly. Although it was ruled a suicide, Xu Weiwei couldn't quite believe it. Unfortunately, there were no surveillance devices in the restroom, making it impossible to know if the assassin committed suicide or was killed by Ye Cangtian.
So, after returning, she specifically went out to buy a surveillance camera. She wanted to monitor Ye Cangtian's every move, especially since he might be meeting women late at night.
Late night!
When the lights in Xu Weiwei's house went out, Ye Cangtian, lying on his bed, instantly opened his eyes.
He checked the time; it was not yet twelve.
Ye Cangtian's lips curved slightly. It was time for him to carry out his revenge.
He went to the balcony, leaped down with ease, and with a few leveraged bounds, quickly reached the ground floor.
...
At the He family's detached villa!
A crashing sound echoed, and the entire living room was a mess, with glass shards everywhere, and even the enormous LCD screen was smashed to pieces.
"Why! How could that damned guy be so lucky, surviving even that?" He Chuan was going mad.
He thought the assassin he had hired at a high price would make that guy disappear from the world forever, but that assassin committed suicide instead! And that damned guy was still alive.
Even that wasn't enough! The crucial point was that Ye Cangtian now knew that woman, the Black Widow. In the future, who in Yangzhou would dare to oppose that guy?
"Young Master! I know the strength of Poison Dragon. Even I might not be able to defeat him steadily, let alone kill him!"
Steward Zhong sighed, shaking his head. He didn't really believe Poison Dragon committed suicide!
To put it bluntly, Poison Dragon's greatest strength wasn't assassination, but his ability to escape. He had repeatedly managed to retreat safely after killing his targets, and had evaded police pursuits time and again.
Therefore, this indicated that Poison Dragon didn't even have a chance to escape at that moment, further demonstrating Ye Cangtian's immense power.
Steward Zhong then added, "Young Master, the Master said he will be back tomorrow. The Master's intention is for you to leave Yangzhou tomorrow and take refuge in the capital!"
He Chuan's eyelids twitched, and he asked through gritted teeth, "Uncle Zhong, you think he will retaliate against me, right?"
Steward Zhong hesitated, "The He family's influence in Yangzhou is immense. Although he might not dare to deal with you directly, Young Master, it's better to be safe!"
"Alright! I'll go to the capital to lie low."
Although He Chuan was unwilling, he feared death more than anyone. Especially after witnessing the tragic death of Mr. Poison Dragon at the Tang family yesterday, his fear of Ye Cangtian had deepened.
He had also come to terms with it. Going to the capital to lie low was not a big deal!
Besides, he had some friends in the capital. He could contact some capable people there and then make a comeback in Yangzhou. He didn't believe that a guy with no background could really cause so much trouble!
"Young Master, please rest well. I will prepare accordingly, and when the Master returns tomorrow, I will escort you to the capital!"
Steward Zhong quickly withdrew.
...
One AM!
He Chuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. His heart was beating fast, and he had a feeling something was about to happen.
He suddenly heard a rustling sound and frowned, turning on the desk lamp.
The next moment, his face changed drastically, and he instinctively recoiled, stammering, "You... you..."
"Young Master He, don't you recognize me?"
Opposite his bed, on a chair, Ye Cangtian was peeling an apple with a fruit knife, smiling and looking at He Chuan, "Surprised to see me, aren't you?"
"Ye... Ye Cangtian, what do you want?" He Chuan's face was filled with terror. He frantically fumbled on his bedside table for something.
"Are you looking for this? Don't think about calling the police, and don't yell or scream. Otherwise, I can't guarantee you'll be alive after calling for help!" Ye Cangtian said, raising his mobile phone, then tossing it aside, and continued peeling the apple.
"You... What do you want... what?"
He Chuan tried to calm himself down, but his nervousness made his speech slurred. He had already been worried that Ye Cangtian would retaliate, especially since the death of Poison Dragon during the day was still vivid in his mind.
"I wanted to ask Young Master He what you want! You and I have no enmity, yet you have repeatedly sent people to deal with me. I originally didn't intend to trouble you, but you wanted my life!"
"The Poison Dragon incident has nothing to do with me!" He Chuan said, then immediately covered his mouth.
"Heh heh, so that person was called Poison Dragon!"
Ye Cangtian's smile widened, and he shook his head helplessly, then took a bite of the peeled apple, clicking his tongue. "Young Master He, Young Master He, why couldn't you just be content being a young master, and had to provoke me?"
