Chapter 112: Here They Come

Outside the courtyard, Tan Lang was on the phone with Wei Jiadong.

"Listen, Brother Dong, is a spineless loser really worth this much effort from you? Besides, Nightingale is already taking care of him. You should just focus on your beautiful CEO. Don't worry, I guarantee I'll let him enjoy himself to the fullest before he never sees tomorrow's sun again."

After hanging up, Tan Lang suddenly saw someone emerge from the house, and the phone in his hand dropped to the ground.

"Are you back?" Chen Yuyi asked in an indifferent, icy tone.

Tan Lang’s expression changed instantly. Not only did he smell the scent of blood, but he also saw that everyone else in the house was lying on the ground.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Am I not that 'loser' you were just talking about?"

A sharp glint flashed in Tan Lang's eyes. Without hesitation, he threw his hands forward, drawing two gleaming military daggers, and lunged at Chen Yuyi with blinding speed.

His movements were clean, precise, and incredibly fierce; an ordinary person would never have been able to dodge such an attack.

But unfortunately, in front of Chen Yuyi, he was nothing more than a slightly overactive ant.

Chen Yuyi didn't even move. A field of energy condensed before him, instantly knocking the daggers from Tan Lang’s grip and sending him crashing to his knees, gasping for air like a dying dog.

"Where is this so-called 'Great Demon King' of yours now?" Chen Yuyi asked, looking down at him.

"You... you are actually a legendary Martial Venerable? No wonder Brother Dong felt a hint of suspicion, yet we were careless for a moment. Fine, very well. So what if you are a Martial Venerable? Haha, Brother Dong is busy enjoying himself right now, and I won't tell you where he is!"

With that, black blood spilled from the corners of Tan Lang's mouth as he slumped to the ground.

Chen Yuyi was slightly surprised; the man had actually committed suicide by poison. To avoid drawing attention, he reduced the bodies to ash before leaving.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhujun was already sitting across from Wei Jiadong as promised.

Wei Jiadong had gone to great lengths, booking the entire Western restaurant and clearing out all the staff. The two of them were completely alone.

"I have finally achieved my wish of having Miss Shen join me for a meal!" Wei Jiadong said with a gentlemanly smile.

"Can you release that employee now?" Shen Zhujun hadn't even touched the cutlery on her plate.

"What’s the matter, Miss Shen? Are you afraid I might do something to the food? You haven't taken a single bite. Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Wei Jiadong gently cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth, as if demonstrating its safety.

Shen Zhujun bit her lip, finally picking up her knife and fork to cut a small piece, but she held it in her mouth for a long time without swallowing.

"Don't worry. As long as Miss Shen enjoys this meal with me today, you will see him tomorrow!" Wei Jiadong said, raising his red wine and glancing at Shen Zhujun’s glass.

"I hope you keep your word!" Shen Zhujun had no choice but to lift her glass, clink it lightly against his, and take a tiny sip. She didn't know why she was compromising so much before Wei Jiadong for the sake of Chen Yuyi.

"Haha, it seems Miss Shen really cares for him. I must admit, I'm quite jealous!" Wei Jiadong drained his wine in one gulp, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.

Perhaps sensing that momentary shift in Wei Jiadong's demeanor, Shen Zhujun’s hand instinctively reached to her waist. Hidden beneath her clothes was a self-defense stun gun.

"Miss Shen, I’ve told you that it’s entirely possible for me to turn Xinzhu Company around and even develop it into a world-class cosmetics firm. Why won't you believe me? Not only have you rejected me repeatedly, but you’ve also been on guard against me at every turn. This truly hurts my heart!"

Wei Jiadong’s attitude shifted dramatically.

"It was so difficult just to invite you to a meal. If it weren't for that kid, you probably wouldn't be sitting here. To think that I, known as the mighty 'Great Demon King' of the underworld, would be rejected like this by a woman—it's truly humiliating. But can you still refuse me today?"

Listening to this, Shen Zhujun grew increasingly alert, but her head began to spin.

"Don't worry, I didn't drug the food. However, the candles contain a sedative. It won't harm you; it will just help you get some rest. Don't blame me—I’ve already used every method I could think of, and now, I’ve run out of patience."

Shen Zhujun hesitated no longer. She pulled out the stun gun and knocked the candles to the floor.

"You really didn't have good intentions!" she said, pointing the device at him.

"I never had good intentions, yet you came anyway, knowing that," Wei Jiadong chuckled.

"You... go to hell!" Shen Zhujun’s head felt heavier, but she set the stun gun to its highest setting and thrust it at him.

Wei Jiadong didn't budge, letting the electric arcs crackle against his body. Shen Zhujun froze in shock.

"I don't like using sedatives on women, but you are too fiery, and I couldn't bear to hurt you, so I had to resort to this. Also, your stun gun is quite powerful, but to me, it’s nothing more than a tickle. Haha!"

Shen Zhujun’s vision began to blur.

Suddenly, a figure rushed in. It was Shen Youlin. She had originally wanted to see what kind of "candlelight dinner" her sister and brother-in-law were having, but she hadn't expected to witness such a shocking scene.

After Shen Zhujun got out of the car, Youlin had followed her secretly, ensuring her sister wouldn't notice. Because the restaurant had glass walls, she had been watching from the outside.

She was surprised to see her sister meeting a stranger—where was her brother-in-law? She was angry and ready to charge in, but fearing it might be a business meeting, she decided to wait and watch. But as she watched, things felt increasingly wrong. When she saw her sister knock over the candles, she knew something was amiss, quickly called Chen Yuyi, and then stormed inside.

"You bird-brained freak! How dare you lay a hand on my sister? You have a death wish!"

"Youlin, why are you here? Run! This man isn't even affected by a stun gun!" Shen Zhujun cried out, maintaining her last shred of consciousness.

Wei Jiadong glanced at Shen Youlin, a smile curling his lips. "Ah, the little sister. Truly a pair of sisters—both delicate flowers. It seems I’ll be able to enjoy both of you tonight!"

Shen Youlin retreated in fear. "Don't come any closer! My brother-in-law is coming soon, and he'll make you regret this!"

"Your brother-in-law?" Wei Jiadong looked at Shen Zhujun. "Your sister is married?"

"Hmph, didn't you hear me call him brother-in-law? He’s incredibly powerful. If you aren't afraid of a stun gun, so what? My brother-in-law will wipe you out in seconds!"

"Haha, wipe me out in seconds? Does such a person exist?" Wei Jiadong stepped toward the sisters.

At that moment, Shen Zhujun could no longer hold on. She sighed to herself, realizing she was truly a weak woman who couldn't even protect herself or her loved ones.

But just as she lost consciousness, she heard a familiar voice: "Of course he does!"

Had he really come?

As she saw that familiar figure, a smile touched her lips. It turned out her attempt to save him was unnecessary, but she felt no regrets.

"Brother-in-law!" Shen Youlin jumped with excitement, but seeing Shen Zhujun collapse, she rushed to support her.

Wei Jiadong looked at Chen Yuyi in surprise. "How did you get out?"

"Do I need to tell you that?"

Chen Yuyi’s figure flashed like a gust of wind. He collided with Wei Jiadong, shattering the restaurant's glass wall, and the two flew out onto the street. Fortunately, the street was deserted, causing no further commotion.

Shen Youlin knew it was time for her brother-in-law to show his strength. Her large eyes were full of excited light, though it was a pity her sister was unconscious and couldn't see it.

Chen Yuyi stood still as Wei Jiadong lay ten meters away, buried under a pile of shattered glass.

"You are indeed no ordinary person. No wonder you escaped from the Nightingales. Where are they?" Wei Jiadong’s expression turned somber. He leaped to his feet, shocked that Chen Yuyi had downed him in a single blow. He hadn't expected to encounter such a master in this place, and it forced him to take the situation seriously.

"You will see them very soon," Chen Yuyi said calmly, his hands behind his back.

"You killed them?" A ferocious glare ignited in Wei Jiadong’s eyes, and his pupils suddenly turned blood-red.

A violent, brutal aura erupted from his body. "How dare you touch my people? You are courting death!"

His clothes burst into shreds, his muscles bulged, and his skin turned a metallic, golden hue, shimmering with the texture of cold steel...
