A young man, Xiao Huang, parked the car at the villa's main gate. Just then, Fu Mingyan emerged from the house.
Fu Mingyan slid into the car and patted Xiao Huang's shoulder. With a smile, he said, "Xiao Huang, take me to the Starlight Grand Theater."
"Understood, Officer Fu!" Xiao Huang readily agreed.
The Starlight Grand Theater was a movie and theater complex.
The manager of the theater was a young woman named Yu Jiaoying.
Yu Jiaoying was a rather famous movie star in the capital, exceptionally beautiful, and the kind of actress who embodied a pure, innocent image.
However, no one would have guessed that this outwardly pure young actress was Fu Mingyan's mistress of many years.
Cheng Xiaofan did not immediately follow Fu Mingyan's car.
He knew that the old man would have to engage in some foreplay before getting down to business when he met that woman.
The medicine Fu Mingyan had taken required a prelude before entering the act to fully unleash its medicinal properties.
Cheng Xiaofan mused that Fu Mingyan was already dependent on that drug.
The greatest danger of this drug was that it would gradually erode his body.
Within a few years, he would have no more time to indulge in his frenzied desires.
If Fu Mingyan hadn't been in such a hurry to make a move against him, Cheng Xiaofan wouldn't have bothered with the old man who had only a few years left to live.
But the other party had acted recklessly and insisted on a confrontation.
Thus, he had no choice but to act without restraint.
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze swept around the area below the Fu family's villa.
He discovered a secret underground chamber.
The chamber contained over two billion Chinese Yuan and two tons of gold.
As for the Chinese Yuan, Cheng Xiaofan had no interest in them.
However, he decided to take the gold.
With a flick of his wrist, a surge of dragon power swept into the underground chamber.
In an instant, two tons of gold were transported into his personal space.
Seeing that the time was almost right,
Cheng Xiaofan smiled at the Sky-Breaking Eagle perched beside him and said, "Sky-Breaking Eagle, take me to the Starlight Grand Theater!"
He had already mapped out the location of the Starlight Grand Theater in his mind and transmitted it to the Sky-Breaking Eagle earlier.
The Sky-Breaking Eagle immediately carried Cheng Xiaofan towards the Starlight Grand Theater.
At this very moment!
Fu Mingyan had subdued Yu Jiaoying beneath him.
The act was reaching its climax.
*Boom!*
The window glass shattered on the floor.
A figure broke through the window.
"Who?"
Fu Mingyan exclaimed, about to roll off.
Unexpectedly, the intruder flicked his hand, sending a surge of energy into their bodies, rendering them both immobile.
Yu Jiaoying, in particular, could not move her body, nor could she speak. Only her beautiful eyes widened in terror as she stared at the young man who had flown in from the window.
"Ah, you're Cheng Xiaofan?"
Fu Mingyan finally recognized the intruder and cried out in shock, "Weren't you in South Korea? How did you get here?"
Cheng Xiaofan ignored Fu Mingyan and sat down on a nearby sofa.
He then took out a cigarette, lit it,
crossed his legs, took a deep puff,
and with a playful smile directed at Fu Mingyan, said, "Continue!"
Continue what?
How could anyone do such a thing with an audience watching?
Fu Mingyan asked nervously, "What did you do to me?"
"Why can't I move?"
Cheng Xiaofan scoffed, sneering, "Fu Mingyan, you look quite distinguished in this pose, don't you think! It's very appealing!"
"Oh, right, I should explain,"
"I just used a surge of energy to lock both of you,"
"You won't be able to move until past ten o'clock tomorrow morning."
Fu Mingyan roared in anger, "Do you know who I am?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Of course I do. You're Fu Mingdao's older brother, a rather influential figure in the capital."
"Normally, people have to appease you to achieve their goals."
"I know you have great power and many connections."
"Otherwise, you wouldn't have dared to send your brother to my place to demand that I hand over the gold awarded by that insignificant country."
"Of course, you wouldn't have harbored ambitions to seize all of Zhuxi Village, and even desired my woman."
"Am I right?"
Fu Mingyan shouted, "Cheng Xiaofan, you know my power is immense, yet you dare to lay a hand on me?"
Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Fu Mingyan, you think too highly of yourself!"
"No matter how great your power, in front of Cheng Xiaofan, you are nothing!"
"In a moment, I'll seal your mouths with my energy, rendering you speechless,"
"and then move you both out to the street. What do you think people will say then?"
"They'll surely gather around, take photos, and spread them online."
"Wouldn't that be quite amusing?"
Fu Mingyan's anger flared.
He sneered, "Cheng Xiaofan, doing this will at most embarrass me, but it won't harm me. However, you will pay a heavy price for your actions."
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and smiled, "Fu Mingyan, you've envisioned your outcome too favorably."
"From the energy fluctuations emanating from you, I can tell you've been in contact with some evil cultivators."
"In the secret chamber beneath your villa, you've hidden over two billion Chinese Yuan and two tons of gold. Just these alone make it impossible for you to account for yourself."
"And speaking of which, you've used evil cultivators to eliminate several of your rivals."
"How will you account for these several murders?"
"You..."
Fu Mingyan's face immediately turned extremely ugly, pale as paper.
This brat could discern such things from a person's energy fluctuations. Was he even human?
He knew very well that once these matters were exposed, he would be completely finished.
Fu Mingyan deeply regretted provoking such an inhuman monster.
"Cheng Xiaofan,"
At this point, he was completely subdued. "I know I was wrong!"
"I should never have plotted against you."
"Please, spare me. I will never dare to provoke you again!"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "Fu Mingyan, who do you think you are?"
"You provoke me, admit defeat, and I'll let you go?"
Fu Mingyan asked nervously, "Then what do you want?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly, "I want you dead!"
"If you live, who knows how many more people you'll harm!"
Fu Mingyan cried out urgently, "I cannot die, I absolutely cannot die."
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "You can't die? When you used evil cultivators to murder others, did you ever consider the terror of death for them?"
"Heaven sees all actions."
"Meeting me means your retribution has arrived."
"How could the heavens forgive you for all the evil deeds you've committed!"
Fu Mingyan became desperate, "Cheng Xiaofan, I know you are Heaven."
"As long as you spare me, Heaven will not interfere with me."
"Tell me, what are your terms for letting me go?"
