Li Hanxing walked quickly towards Mu Jianling.
"Jianling, I have earth-shattering news for you!"
Mu Jianling suppressed her shock and asked curiously, "What earth-shattering news?"
"Your foolish fiancé has become normal. He's not foolish anymore!"
"How do you know?"
Mu Jianling could only learn this news so quickly because her maid had friends in the Ye family. Li Hanxing had no connection to the Ye family, so how could he know so quickly?
Li Hanxing then recounted what had happened.
Although Mu Jianling was initially skeptical, Li Hanxing's words left her no choice but to believe him.
"I need to see him!"
Mu Jianling had expected to marry a fool she could control, but she never imagined this fool would become normal. Once a person was normal, they would definitely do "that" to her after marriage. She couldn't accept being with a stranger due to a family alliance!
...
In Ye Jianghe's courtyard.
Ye Jianghe was furious. Even though he had launched a series of killing moves to ensure Ye Jiangliu's death, how could Ye Jiangliu have survived? More importantly, how could Ye Jiangliu be completely unharmed? He had personally seen Ye Jiangliu's head split open, with blood staining the pond! This was simply too bizarre! Now that Ye Jiangliu had returned, the Ye and Mu families would likely proceed with their arranged marriage as planned. In that case, Mu Jianling would still be Ye Jiangliu's.
"Ye Jiangliu must die." Ye Jianghe's eyes were filled with coldness as he stood up and left the Ye family manor.
An hour later, Ye Jianghe entered a bar. It was daytime, and there were few people in the bar, only the bar's subordinates playing around. Upon seeing Ye Jianghe, they rushed to greet him.
"Young Master Ye, why are you here? The show hasn't started yet?"
"Where is your boss?" Ye Jianghe asked.
"The boss is upstairs."
Ye Jianghe nodded and headed directly upstairs. He went to the office on the upper floor and pushed the door open. In the office, a boss was embracing a woman while discussing life. The sudden opening of the door startled him.
"Who..." the boss began to curse, but then saw it was Ye Jianghe. Stepping down from the bed, the boss covered himself with a bath towel and chuckled, "It's Young Master Ye. Why are you here in broad daylight? You almost scared me impotent."
Ye Jianghe, in a bad mood, had no time for jokes with the boss. "Have her leave. I need to ask Brother Huobao for a favor," Ye Jianghe said seriously.
Seeing Ye Jianghe's solemn expression, Brother Huobao gave a look to the woman on the bed. The woman, without any shyness towards Ye Jianghe, got up, dressed, and left. Once the woman was gone, Brother Huobao asked, "Young Master Ye, you can speak now."
Ye Jianghe looked at Brother Huobao, sat on the sofa, and asked sternly, "Brother Huobao, are you someone I can trust?"
Brother Huobao patted his chest and vowed, "Young Master Ye, my current success is all thanks to your support. Just give me your orders, and I will handle it perfectly, leaving no loose ends."
Ye Jianghe nodded. "Very good. I want you to get rid of this fool, Ye Jiangliu."
Brother Huobao was shocked by these words, but not overly surprised. The engagement between Ye Jiangliu and Mu Jianling was widely known. If Ye Jiangliu died, Mu Jianling would become Ye Jianghe's woman, so Ye Jianghe wanting to kill Ye Jiangliu was quite reasonable. As for their brotherhood, no one took it seriously.
"No problem, I'll find someone to do it," Brother Huobao replied.
"Although Ye Jiangliu is just a fool, he is still a direct descendant of the Ye family. You must do this flawlessly," Ye Jianghe said sternly. "I don't want any clues leading back to me."
Brother Huobao patted his chest and vowed, "Don't worry, I won't do it myself. I'll find a professional assassin group."
"How much will it cost? Tell me," Ye Jianghe asked.
Brother Huobao smiled. "It's my honor to work for you, Young Master Ye. Money is not important."
Ye Jianghe placed a card on the table. "Here's two million. That should be enough, right?"
"It's enough, of course it's enough," Brother Huobao said.
Ye Jianghe nodded coldly. "I'll be waiting for your good news."
...
After dinner, Qin Hanchu returned to his room. Ye Jiangliu's room was decorated in a childish manner, befitting his status as a fool. The room contained an advanced holographic computer. Although it was different from any computer Qin Hanchu had seen before, it was essentially the same. In no time, Qin Hanchu figured out how to use it. Through the computer, he gained a preliminary understanding of this world. The martial arts in this small world were very similar to the earliest stages of the Great Divine Continent. The strongest were merely at the Grandmaster level. For the eldest madam to reach the Master level in her late forties or early fifties was considered being a master of a region. Although the Ye family was one of the six major families in Fog City, they only had one Grandmaster in the clan. In such a place, Qin Hanchu could dominate with his physical strength alone. Of course, he had no intention of ruling the world here. The world core of this small world was too weak, and its contribution to the Great Divine Continent was minimal. The world core of a small world was not as beneficial as killing an Immortal-level expert.
While Qin Hanchu was hidden in the Ye family, the father of the Ninth Prince had already learned of his son's death. When he arrived at the coordinates of the Great Divine Continent through the reception city, he only saw a barren expanse of stars! Seeing the Great Divine Continent disappear, the Ninth Prince's father was greatly shocked. How could a great world be gone? Even if it had collapsed, there should have been remnants and ruins! Unless it had been refined into a spatial immortal artifact!
"You can't escape!" This Immortal God-level expert left in anger, preparing to use the Sky Patrol Mirror to track Qin Hanchu's clues. In addition, all the forces of the Myriad Realms Treasure Pavilion would help him search for Qin Hanchu's whereabouts.
In the evening, Ye Jiangliu's door was knocked. Upon opening the door, the eldest madam smiled. "What are you doing?"
Qin Hanchu pointed to the computer. "Reading materials to understand this world better."
"Indeed, you, who only knew how to play before, should broaden your horizons."
"You can continue reading later tonight. I'm treating you to dinner to celebrate your recovery," the eldest madam said with a smile.
Qin Hanchu nodded. "Alright."
The eldest madam drove Qin Hanchu away from the Ye family manor and to a high-end shopping mall. Within the mall, there were many eateries. A moment later, the two sat down in one of the restaurants.
"You only liked sweets before. Would you like to try something different today?" the eldest madam asked with a smile.
Qin Hanchu discreetly glanced at a man sitting alone nearby. This man appeared ordinary, but Qin Hanchu could sense a killing intent directed at him from him.
