Hearing Chen Xiao speak, Master Huang's gaze sharpened. He barked, "Boy, this is between me and the Ye family. What business is it of yours? I advise you not to meddle, lest you bring trouble upon yourself!"
Chen Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I don't care about your matters with the Ye family, but I have questions for you. If you can't give me answers, you won't be leaving the Ye family's premises today!"
"What do you want to ask?"
Master Huang's eyes were full of confusion. He couldn't understand Chen Xiao's intention. Besides the Ye family's affairs, what other connection could he have with Chen Xiao?
Chen Xiao asked coldly, "I ask you, where did your Manzhushahua come from? What is your relationship with Lin Cheng of the Exorcism Division? Are you that Mr. Huang?"
Earlier, when Lin Cheng was on the phone with a mysterious person, he had addressed the other as Mr. Huang. Since this Master Huang also had the surname Huang, it was difficult not to suspect they were the same person.
"So it's you!"
Suddenly, Master Huang's expression changed drastically. "I ask you, was it you who stole the Manzhushahua from beneath Bāhǔguān Village?"
Chen Xiao did not deny it, but corrected, "I wasn't stealing, I was taking! Those who are caught are thieves; those who aren't are takers!"
"You good-for-nothing, you dare to quibble! I'm telling you, you're finished. You've provoked someone you shouldn't have. I advise you to eat whatever you want these days, because you won't have the chance later!"
Master Huang suddenly became excited, as if Chen Xiao were truly going to die.
"Kill me? You?"
Chen Xiao sneered, finding the situation suddenly interesting. "I'll give you three counts to answer my questions. If you don't, I won't leave you any time to eat what you want!"
"Three..."
As Chen Xiao began counting down, Master Huang paid him no mind and arrogantly declared, "Hmph, brat, you want to kill me? Ask the Ye family if they'll agree!"
"Two..."
When Chen Xiao reached "two," Master Huang remained unfazed, but Ye Gucheng grew nervous. "Chen Xiao, I advise you to calm down. If you kill him, I'll die..."
Master Huang spat, "Pah, putting on an act!"
"One..."
As the last number left Chen Xiao's lips, he suddenly transformed into a blur. In a flash, Chen Xiao was in front of Master Huang and threw a punch. Master Huang's entire face caved in. He fell backward, dead as could be...
For a moment, the air was deathly silent.
Then, Chen Xiao said calmly, "I told you I'd give you three counts. Why didn't you believe me?"
Everyone looked at Chen Xiao, frozen in fear. Wasn't he a doctor? How could he kill as if slaughtering chickens?
No, it was more decisive than slaughtering chickens...
A moment later, Ye Gucheng was the first to react, shouting and rushing towards Chen Xiao.
"Chen, I'll take you down with me..."
With Master Huang dead, he felt his own death was imminent. The instigator of all this was the scoundrel Chen Xiao.
Even if he died, he wanted to drag Chen Xiao down with him.
Unfortunately, he overestimated himself. The problem was, was he worthy of dragging Chen Xiao down?
Chen Xiao didn't even lift an eyelid. He slapped out, and Ye Gucheng spun through the air, flying away.
"You dare hit me again? I'll kill you today! What are you all standing there for? Get him!"
Ye Gucheng was blinded by rage. He yelled at the nearby bodyguards, his attitude one of no surrender.
But the problem was, those bodyguards had witnessed Chen Xiao's prowess. How would they dare to provoke him?
Wasn't that the same as seeking death?
Besides, they were Old Master Ye's bodyguards, not Ye Gucheng's.
At this moment, Old Master Ye let out an angry roar, "Ye Gucheng, stop it!"
Ye Gucheng looked at his grandfather in confusion. "Grandpa, at this point, you're still telling me to stop? If it weren't for him, how would Master Huang have died? With Master Huang dead, I have no way out either! And why didn't you agree to Master Huang just now? Does my life as your grandson mean less than a thousand billion?"
Old Master Ye's beard trembled with anger. "You unfilial brat, how dare you say that? If it weren't for your collusion with that Huang fellow, a demonic Taoist, would my Ye family have fallen into such misfortune?"
Hearing this, Ye Gucheng instantly fell silent.
Although he lacked intelligence, he had already realized that this was all a trap set by Master Huang, aimed at the Ye family's fortune. 138 Reading Network
"You rebellious son, kneel!"
Old Master Ye roared.
"Make me kneel? Dream on! I'm already facing death, why should I kneel to you?"
Ye Gucheng stubbornly refused to kneel.
Old Master Ye snorted, "You scoundrel, do you think I'm asking you to kneel to me? I'm asking you to kneel to Mr. Chen!"
"Grandpa, am I truly your grandson? That kid is about to get me killed! You're asking me to kneel to him? Have you lost your mind?"
Ye Gucheng stomped his feet in anger. In the end, he even audaciously cursed, "I think you've really got dementia!"
Old Master Ye almost had a heart attack from anger. He clutched his chest and ordered the bodyguards.
"You, restrain this rebellious son! Make him kneel before Mr. Chen!"
Although the bodyguards didn't understand Old Master Ye's actions, they could only follow orders.
"Ye Zhicheng, you damn old bastard, you old son of a bitch, you senile dog, you killed your own grandson and are making him kneel to his enemy! You're worthless..."
Ye Gucheng jumped and cursed, but in the hands of those bodyguards, he was like a chick, unable to break free. In the end, he was forced down on his knees before Chen Xiao.
Chen Xiao smiled, looking at Old Master Ye with a playful expression.
"Old Master Ye, he's cursing you like this. Are you sure you still want me to save him?"
Hearing this, Ye Gucheng was stunned. He stopped cursing and looked straight at Chen Xiao, asking, "What? You can save me?"
"Hmph!"
Chen Xiao snorted coldly. "What a pity for your grandfather's earnest efforts, yet you understand nothing. A grandson like you, I don't know what use you are!"
Although Old Master Ye was old, his mind worked very quickly.
From the series of events that had transpired, he realized that Chen Xiao was immensely capable and meticulous.
Therefore, Old Master Ye guessed that Chen Xiao had killed Master Huang precisely because he had a way to cure Ye Gucheng's poison.
Of course, that was just his guess, which was why he forced his grandson to kneel to Chen Xiao. But this rebellious son not only lacked brains but also cursed himself!
However, it was fortunate that Chen Xiao's words just now indicated that he truly had a way to save Ye Gucheng!
