Chapter 45 Mission Executed in Three Days!
Su Yunxi's father wore black-rimmed glasses, yet exuded boundless authority.
Su Yunxi didn't know the specifics of her father's work, but she knew he held significant sway in the Su family, often even the elder Mr. Su had to heed his words.
Su Yunxi's father spoke with unquestionable finality, "Yunxi, this matter is not up for discussion."
Su Yunxi had always harbored a degree of fear towards her father since childhood, but at this moment, she stood firm, saying, "Dad, I will not marry someone I've never even met."
Su Yunxi's father reiterated, "Yunxi, if you continue to act out, I will make that boy disappear from this world right now!"
Su Yunxi's expression stiffened. The usually proud and exceptional 'heaven's favored daughter' showed a flicker of despair on her beautiful face.
She knew her father was not bluffing.
Regardless of the Su family's influence, even based solely on her father's personal strength, he could undoubtedly make Chen Xuan vanish without a trace.
Compared to a life with Chen Xuan, she would rather ensure his safety.
In that instant, her mind flashed with melodramatic plotlines from countless television dramas, never expecting them to manifest in her own life.
She slowly closed her beautiful eyes, a few crystalline tears tracing paths down her delicate cheeks. With a choked sob, she finally nodded, "I... I'll marry him..."
Chen Xuan, perhaps we truly have no fate together...
May you be happy!
...
Chen Xuan returned to his bedroom, the words Su Yunxi had spoken publicly in the hall replaying in his mind, bringing a smile of happiness to his face.
He silently vowed to earn the right to hold Su Yunxi's hand.
But at that moment, a phone call shattered all his newfound happiness.
It was a call from his old leader!
His old leader had said that once a mission commenced, he would receive a call.
Was it really happening now?
Chen Xuan felt as if the guillotine hanging over his neck was slowly descending. Even the fearsome Xuan Yi Zhan Zun, the War God Doctor, felt a cold sweat break out on his back!
He took a deep breath and answered the call.
"Number Three, the target was threatened today, so the mission timeline has been moved up. Three days from now, the mission will commence. I will inform you of the location then."
His old leader's voice was direct and concise, but it caused Chen Xuan's brows to furrow deeply.
Even infiltrating an army of a hundred thousand single-handedly to take the leader's head wouldn't make him frown. However, he felt immense resistance towards this particular mission.
Entering a family through marriage, though for the mission, was highly classified and would not allow for any disclosure. If Su Yunxi were to find out, how would she think of him?
But he had already defied his old leader once. It was the old leader who had secured him an opportunity to regain his abilities. He truly couldn't refuse his old leader again.
Yet, he and Su Yunxi were genuinely in love. He might never encounter a woman like her again in his lifetime.
Chen Xuan took another breath, finally making a decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Old leader, can I not execute this mission? Can you assign me a different one?"
His old leader paused, then said sternly, "Number Three, are you disobeying orders? Have you forgotten the consequences of disobeying orders?"
Chen Xuan trembled and said again, "Old leader, I've met a woman, and I like her very much. I cannot enter her family through marriage just to execute a mission."
"Number Three, have you forgotten the lesson from last time?" The old leader's voice was chilling, making one feel as if they were plunged into an ice cellar even through the phone. "Last time, you said the same thing. What happened during those three months? Have you forgotten? You disappoint me greatly!"
Chen Xuan was speechless, but managed to force out, "They are different."
"Shut up! Don't bring this up again. The mission must be executed, or I will have someone arrest that woman and throw her into the Blood Sea Prison!"
The Blood Sea Prison, where the world's most heinous criminals were incarcerated. He couldn't bear to imagine Su Yunxi imprisoned there.
Chen Xuan's face contorted in pain and struggle. Finally, he slumped down defeatedly and nodded, "Number Three... accepts... accepts the mission."
After saying those words, it felt as if all his strength had been drained, and he sat down on the floor.
However, he decided he would personally explain this matter to the concerned party. He would execute the mission, but not through marriage.
Meanwhile, on the other end, the old leader hung up the phone, his beard bristling with anger. He cursed, "If I didn't treat you like my own son, why would I bend the rules for you and use a mission as an excuse to introduce such a beautiful young lady as your wife."
"A wife as beautiful as this is impossible to find, and you're still not satisfied?"
"I'm so angry! So angry, I can't take it anymore, my blood pressure has gone up."
The old leader rubbed his head and quickly took two blood pressure reducing pills.
...
At the same time.
In a villa of the Qian family in Jiangzhou.
Two young men were seated on the sofa.
One of them was Qian Shaokang, who had shamefully fled the banquet. Qian Shaokang's face was now extremely grim.
He still had several injuries, but they had been treated and bandaged, and his spirits had improved considerably compared to earlier.
The other person was dressed in a magnificent feng shui master's attire, lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, an air of arrogance about him.
It was none other than Master Mo Yang, the feng shui master Chen Xuan had encountered at the auction!
After leaving the hotel, Qian Shaokang grew increasingly resentful and invited Master Mo Yang to his villa.
A venomous gleam flashed in Qian Shaokang's eyes as he looked at Master Mo Yang, grinding his teeth, "Master Mo Yang, as long as you can eliminate Chen Xuan for me, besides the matter with the Sun family, I will pay you an additional fifty million as reward!"
A flicker of greed crossed Master Mo Yang's eyes, but he calmly replied, "Heh, Young Master Qian is too kind. He's just an insignificant brat who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I can destroy him anytime."
Qian Shaokang was understanding. Although Master Mo Yang seemed to refuse, he immediately took out a bank card and placed it before Master Mo Yang, smiling, "Master Mo Yang, your actions are bound to involve the Heavenly Dao and are of great importance. Please accept this fifty million."
Master Mo Yang smiled slightly, took the bank card, and said indifferently, "Then I shall respectfully accept your offer."
Although Qian Shaokang trusted Master Mo Yang implicitly, he recalled the methods Chen Xuan had displayed today and cautioned, "Master Mo Yang, this kid's martial arts skills are indeed quite good. You must be careful."
Master Mo Yang appeared somewhat displeased and said, "Heh, what good are good martial arts skills? As long as I set up a feng shui formation here, he won't even be able to see me before becoming an imbecile."
Hearing this, Qian Shaokang's eyes widened slightly, and a complex expression of admiration mixed with fear arose towards Master Mo Yang.
After all, he was also a martial artist. He couldn't help but imagine himself as Master Mo Yang's opponent. If Master Mo Yang could casually eliminate Chen Xuan, couldn't he also eliminate him?
But realizing Master Mo Yang was on his side, he immediately felt relieved.
The thought of Chen Xuan's fate filled him with excitement.
He quickly stood up and excitedly said to Master Mo Yang, "I hope Master Mo Yang can use his magic to help me get revenge right away. From now on, my Qian family will double our annual tribute to the Dragon Tiger Hall!"
Master Mo Yang's expression froze.
Did this guy really think he was a deity?
His previous words were somewhat exaggerated. Feng shui formations were designed based on heavenly causality. To set up a feng shui formation, one needed to investigate the subject's birth date, living environment... and prepare various items like talismans to establish the formation.
It couldn't be done overnight.
Qian Shaokang looked up at Master Mo Yang with a hint of confusion and asked, "Master Mo Yang, can't you do it now?"
