Chapter 1285 The True Colors Revealed
Cao Gang quickly turned off his phone and glanced at Yang Ying, who was still asleep. He breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he quietly took out a crumpled talisman from under his pillow.
He didn't have any paste, so he could only spit on it and stick the talisman directly onto the head of the bed.
Chen Xuan had told him to stick the talisman on the head of the bed at the third watch, and everything would be revealed. However, it was always good to be a step ahead. That ringing sound had come ten minutes before the third watch.
Then, he waited quietly, waiting for the third watch to arrive!
Time ticked by, and it finally reached the third watch. Cao Gang held his breath, but nothing unusual happened.
Could Chen Xuan be a big骗子?
But that shouldn't be the case. With the strength Chen Xuan had displayed, he wouldn't be a simple骗子!
Why wasn't it working yet?
Finally, he shook his head, sighed, and prepared to go to sleep.
But just then, the talisman suddenly flashed a beam of light, catching his eye.
The next moment, Cao Gang looked intently and saw countless complex and obscure dark runes drifting out from the spiritual talisman, making everything nowhere to hide!
He saw that the woman lying beside him, Yang Ying, was covered in over a dozen dark little ghosts, and the ghosts seemed to be sucking something!
In an instant, Cao Gang's eyes widened, and he almost cried out. He quickly covered his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound!
His eyes trembled as he watched this scene!
Yang Ying's face was dark, and malevolent energy swirled around her, exuding a chilling aura.
Furthermore, the fact that Yang Ying was covered in little ghosts astonished Cao Gang even more!
In an instant, he finally understood what Chen Xuan had asked before. It wasn't that he was raising little ghosts, but that Yang Ying was!
He knew he couldn't expose himself yet. He took a deep breath, suppressed his unease, and decided to find Chen Xuan tomorrow to discuss how to handle this.
But just then, Yang Ying suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Cao Gang. She was stunned at first, seemingly noticing something, and said fiercely, "Cao Gang, you actually want to harm me!"
Cao Gang had never seen such ferocity in her eyes.
Cao Gang's face changed drastically.
"You good-for-nothing Cao Gang, since you are unrighteous, don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
Yang Ying's hands, like eagle claws, reached for Cao Gang's neck.
A piercing sound of wind breaking suddenly arose!
Cao Gang, who knew no martial arts, was instantly terrified, his face changing drastically. He instinctively dodged, narrowly avoiding Yang Ying's attack, but the sharp energy grazed Cao Gang's neck, leaving a hideous bloody gash!
And Yang Ying's fingers, sharp as awls, pierced into the solid wooden headboard, which was as soft as tofu, being instantly penetrated!
What were those hands? Even the sharpest combat knife wouldn't be like this!
"Damn it!"
Yang Ying cursed in anger when her attack missed, and she lunged at Cao Gang again.
This time, Cao Gang was not so lucky. He was directly hit in the shoulder by Yang Ying's palm!
"Ah—"
With a scream, Cao Gang rolled off the bed, clutching his shoulder and groaning in pain.
Yang Ying stood up from the bed.
Her silk nightgown revealed Yang Ying's voluptuous figure, her curves appearing faintly.
Her chest was half-exposed, displaying her enchanting charm!
However, her face, like a snow-capped mountain, and her eyes, which seemed to want to kill, sent shivers down one's spine!
"Cao Gang, the worst thing you could have done, the worst thing of all, was to believe that guy's words. Otherwise, we could still be husband and wife, sharing wealth and honor!"
Yang Ying walked towards Cao Gang step by step.
She reached out!
And fiercely grabbed Cao Gang's neck.
"Yang Ying, you can't kill me! I'm your husband!"
The threat of death also made Cao Gang fearful, especially the suffocating feeling that made him extremely uncomfortable.
He cried out in terror!
"Husband? Heh heh..."
There was a look of contempt, cold as ice, without any trace of tenderness!
Cao Gang knew that Yang Ying would definitely not let him go!
Yang Ying tightened her grip, and the powerful force struck, making Cao Gang's breathing increasingly difficult.
It's over, I'm dead!
Cao Gang thought he was dead, but just then, Yang Ying suddenly screamed and was sent flying backward, falling to the ground. Her silk nightgown was rolled up to her waist, her abdomen was flat, and her cleavage was fully exposed.
Cao Gang, having narrowly escaped death, began to cough violently.
Filled with curiosity, he looked up sharply. Yang Ying's miserable state surprised him.
What was going on?
Suddenly, he saw the spiritual talisman emit a mysterious dark golden light. Within the dark golden light, runes flowed, and it seemed that Yang Ying was extremely wary of those dark golden runes.
"You good-for-nothing Cao Gang, you treated me like this! Just you wait!"
After spitting out a harsh threat, Yang Ying did not attack but leaped up and rushed towards the window.
Cao Gang was slightly stunned. This was the third floor. He staggered to the third-floor windowsill but could not see any trace of Yang Ying.
His heart sank even further.
Yang Ying had always presented herself as a fragile woman in the Cao family, unable even to lift anything heavy. But now, she had jumped from the third floor and was able to escape quickly, which was completely beyond Cao Gang's expectations.
As Cao Gang sighed, he felt an overwhelming gratitude towards Chen Xuan.
He knew that without Chen Xuan, he would have been finished today!
......
Early in the morning, Chen Xuan was eating egg noodles made by Li Er and complaining that Li Er's egg noodles were really terrible.
Li Er stood to the side awkwardly, his face full of embarrassment.
At this moment, Huo Guangtai arrived at Li Er's shop and was greatly surprised to see Li Er being so respectful to Chen Xuan.
He had seen many important figures come to find Li Er, but Li Er had never shown any deference. He knew that among them was someone from the Nine Gates of the Capital, yet here he was, acting like a servant in front of Chen Xuan.
How could this not shock him?
He vaguely remembered that the first time Li Er met this Chen Xuan, he was arrogant. How had he become a grandson now?
"What are you doing here?"
Li Er stared at Huo Guangtai with eyes like a poisonous snake, his tone very unfriendly.
"I'm looking for Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen, is he someone you can just meet?"
"I..."
Huo Guangtai's breath hitched. He looked at Chen Xuan with a wry smile and said, "Mr. Chen..."
"Go ahead, what do you need me for?" Chen Xuan said indifferently.
"Mr. Chen, didn't we agree to go see Mr. Cao today?" Huo Guangtai had been thinking about this matter constantly.
"No need. Cao Gang will be here later." Chen Xuan's gaze did not leave his hand.
"Ah?"
Huo Guangtai was stunned, clearly disbelieving. "But..."
"Mr. Huo probably hasn't eaten yet. Sit down quickly. There's another pot of noodles in the pot. Have some together."
"Perhaps not."
Chen Xuan refused decisively and smiled, "Li Er, go get Mr. Huo a bowl of noodles."
Although he said this, Chen Xuan thought to himself, do you think I'm inviting you to eat noodles? I'm worried about eating leftover noodles this afternoon.
"Oh."
Li Er frowned, seemingly very unhappy about serving noodles to Huo Guangtai.
"No need, no need, I'll do it myself."
Huo Guangtai quickly picked up a bowl, and Li Er naturally did not refuse.
When had Huo Guangtai ever served himself food? Moreover, the noodles were all mushy. It took him a long time to pick out a few strands, barely filling half a bowl.
Li Er watched Huo Guangtai fill only half a bowl of noodles and felt very unhappy.
Are you looking down on people?
