"Mr. Chen, if you have a way to save Gu Cheng, I hope you can put aside past grievances and save his life. This old man thanks you in advance!"
As Elder Ye spoke, he bowed to Chen Xiao.
Seeing this, those around were stunned. What a distinguished status Elder Ye held. Some staff members had followed Elder Ye for decades and had never seen him bow to anyone!
However, Chen Xiao did not decline and accepted it calmly.
Because he felt he deserved the bow. After all, he had no relation to Ye Gucheng, and Ye Gucheng had repeatedly spoken disrespectfully to him. Why should he save him?
Even if it was for Mayor Mo's sake, Chen Xiao didn't need to save Ye Gucheng. Mayor Mo had asked him to save Elder Ye.
And now Elder Ye had recovered, and judging by his physical condition, he could live for another twenty years.
But seeing Elder Ye's earnest plea, Chen Xiao's heart wavered slightly.
Seeing Chen Xiao's expression soften, Elder Ye quickly kicked Ye Gucheng, "You unfilial son, why aren't you quickly begging Mr. Chen for help? Only Mr. Chen can save your life now!"
Upon hearing that there was still hope of survival, Ye Gucheng immediately disregarded everything else and kowtowed as if pounding garlic.
"Mr. Chen, please save my life!"
"It was my fault before, I offended Mr. Chen many times. I will change in the future!"
"Please, Mr. Chen, give me another chance to live. I don't want to die, I really don't want to die..."
Ye Gucheng truly did not want to die, kowtowing until his head was bloody.
"Fine!"
Chen Xiao sighed and took out a Spirit Gathering Pill from his person.
"Today, I will save your life for Elder Ye's sake. This life is given by me. If I find out you do anything bad in the future, I will definitely take it back!"
"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, this humble one will definitely accumulate good deeds in the future. As long as I can live, I will be a good person!"
Ye Gucheng said with genuine emotion. After taking the Spirit Gathering Pill, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Within three to four seconds, the medicinal effect of the Spirit Gathering Pill began to take effect, causing Ye Gucheng to writhe on the ground in pain.
"Mr. Chen, will this unfilial son be alright?"
Elder Ye's eyes were full of worry.
Chen Xiao waved his hand, "It's nothing. This is the detoxification stage, so it will naturally be very painful. However, this pain is all he deserves!"
The more pleasure he experienced when using the逍遥丸 (Xiaoyao Pill), the more pain he would feel now.
More than half an hour later, Ye Gucheng finally stopped rolling on the ground and stopped crying out in pain, because he had collapsed on the ground and fainted.
"It seems he's fine now. Let him sleep. He'll be fine when he wakes up. I hope he can turn over a new leaf and become a new person."
Chen Xiao said lightly.
Elder Ye was overjoyed and quickly ordered people to carry Ye Gucheng and Ye Baichi, father and son, to their rooms to sleep.
Then he dismissed the servants and bodyguards.
In the room, besides Chen Xiao and himself, only the corpse of Master Huang remained.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen. You have shown great kindness and virtue to our Ye family. This old man truly doesn't know how to thank you!"
It could be seen that Elder Ye's gratitude towards Chen Xiao was sincere.
However, he truly didn't know how to thank Chen Xiao. After all, for a master like Chen Xiao, offering money would be an insult.
If Chen Xiao knew Elder Ye's thoughts, he would definitely ask Elder Ye to insult him properly, preferably with hundreds of millions...
"Mr. Chen, if you encounter any trouble in the future, please do not hesitate to command us. As long as our Ye family can do it, we will spare no effort!"
Elder Ye said solemnly.
Chen Xiao waved his hand, "Alright, alright, Elder Ye, no need to be so polite. Aren't you done yet... Alright, you're fine now. I've also completed the task Mayor Mo assigned me, so I'll take my leave!"
"Mr. Chen, don't rush. How should this fellow be dealt with?"
Elder Ye pointed at Master Huang's corpse and asked.
Chen Xiao said lightly, "Just burn him. Elder Ye, is that okay?"
"No problem, no problem, Mr. Chen, please rest assured. I will handle this matter!"
Elder Ye said hurriedly.
Seeing his confident demeanor, Chen Xiao thought to himself that this old fellow was indeed not a kind person. This kind of thing was probably not the first time he had done it.
Elder Ye realized he had spoken too much and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Mr. Chen, this demon priest surnamed Huang seems to have some background. If you kill him like this, won't it bring trouble upon yourself?"
"Heh heh..."
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Elder Ye, you don't need to worry about that!"
How could Chen Xiao not tell that this old fellow was trying to pry information from him? So he decided to scare this old fellow a bit, to let him know that some things were not for him to know.
"Elder Ye, I'll say something, don't be scared. Actually, that Master Huang is not dead. He has already left..."
"What?"
Elder Ye was greatly alarmed, and goosebumps rose all over him. "Mr. Chen, don't scare me. His corpse is still here!"
Chen Xiao said, "The corpse is indeed still here, but that yellow weasel, do you see if it's still here?"
Elder Ye mustered up his courage and went to check. He immediately shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, that beast has escaped..."
Then he seemed to suddenly realize, "Mr. Chen, did you deliberately let that thing go?"
At this moment, he no longer knew whether to call it he or it.
Chen Xiao smiled without speaking, his face full of mystery.
Elder Ye immediately understood that Chen Xiao had deliberately let the yellow weasel escape in order to find the forces behind it.
And Chen Xiao's silent smile also made him understand that what happened next was not for him to inquire about.
Sometimes, it's better to mind your own business...
Meanwhile, that yellow weasel had already fled out of the Ye family's villa. It ran all the way back to the city, crossing several streets and alleys before arriving at Jiangcheng's most luxurious hotel, the Maple Leaf Hotel.
It followed the ventilation duct straight to the top floor of the hotel.
The top floor of the hotel was the most luxurious presidential suite of the entire Maple Leaf Hotel. For many years, this floor had been occupied by a mysterious wealthy businessman, who booked it for a year at a time.
That wealthy businessman kept to himself, and no one knew what business he was in. The service staff only knew that his surname was Huang, and everyone called him Mr. Huang.
At this moment, Mr. Huang was sitting in a chair smoking a cigar, staring at the afterglow of the sunset, his brows furrowed, looking preoccupied.
Just then, there was a noise from the ceiling.
Mr. Huang tensed slightly, then relaxed. It turned out the yellow weasel had returned.
The yellow weasel poked its head out of the air vent, then squeezed its entire body out. After falling freely through the air, it landed on the ground.
Mr. Huang looked at the squeaking yellow weasel and asked with a frown, "Why did you come back by yourself? Where is my father?"
