275: Chapter 270: A Confused Zeng Jun 275: Chapter 270: A Confused Zeng Jun Liu Fei’er’s parents were not at home.
Ye Tian dropped Liu Fei’er off at her house.
With no one else around, it was inevitable that they would flirt with each other.
Soon, it was time to eat.
Liu Fei’er insisted on cooking for Ye Tian.
With Yun Xinyan gone to the provincial city, Ye Tian simply stayed, enjoying a meal with Liu Fei’er.
“Make extra leeks,” Ye Tian leaned against the kitchen doorway, instructing with a grin, “Leeks are the best for boosting vigor.
They’re my favorite, so I’ll have plenty of energy to roll in the sheets with you later, hahaha.”
Liu Fei’er’s face turned beet red.
The meal was quickly served, and Ye Tian began to eat heartily.
Liu Fei’er’s cooking skills were indubitably solid, as the dishes were flavorful, aromatic, and delicious.
“Don’t just watch me eat.
You eat too,” Ye Tian said with a charming smile, “We need to be well-fed to have the energy to do the deed.
Especially since your parents aren’t home, we can roll in the sheets all we want.”
Liu Fei’er scolded, “Don’t spout nonsense.
Who would want to do that with you?”
Putting down his chopsticks, Ye Tian said, “You’re not going to deny it now, are you?
We agreed at the lottery station that if we won, you’d marry me.
And isn’t that bound to involve some action in bed?”
“Nonsense,” Liu Fei’er lowered her head and focused on her rice, no longer daring to look at Ye Tian.
Ye Tian chuckled mischievously, about to tease her with another comment, when suddenly he felt an unsettling movement within his body.
His face turned ashen, his eyebrows creased instantaneously, and he looked extremely unwell.
“The Golden Silkworm Gu is acting up again!” Ye Tian gritted his teeth, filled with resentment, “Damn it, this thing is like a time bomb.
I’ll get it out of me sooner or later!”
Liu Fei’er noticed the change in Ye Tian’s complexion and saw his pallor, immediately expressing her concern, “Big brother Ye, what’s wrong with you?
Are you not feeling well, or are you sick?”
Ye Tian shook his head, resumed eating, and said gravely, “Eat up, I’m fine.”
He didn’t want Liu Fei’er to worry about him and intended to keep the Golden Silkworm Gu a secret for as long as possible.
Liu Fei’er gave a soft ‘oh’ and continued to eat in silence.
……
While Ye Tian was enjoying his meal at Liu Fei’er’s house,
at the exact moment the Golden Silkworm Gu stirred, a green-haired man in Jiang City instantly felt a connection.
“It moved, it’s moving again!” The green-haired man’s eyes gleamed with excitement.
“This is the fourth time the Golden Silkworm Gu has stirred!” He was beside himself with excitement.
He could clearly sense that the movements of the Golden Silkworm Gu were becoming more frequent.
Based on this pace, it would fully awaken in just over a month.
“Ye Tian, your time is nearly up.
Prepare to meet your doom, hahaha!”
After a maniacal laugh, the green-haired man pulled out his phone and dialed a mysterious number.
As he listened to the dial tone, his expression turned respectful.
A few seconds later, the call was connected, and he heard The Honored One Miao Dong’s voice, ancient and eerie.
“Green Robe, what brings you to me?
Is it about ‘that matter’?” the Honored One Miao Dong spoke chillingly.
“Your wisdom and power are truly unparalleled, my lord.
Before I even speak, you’ve already guessed it!” Green Robe hastily brown-nosed.
“Enough of the nonsense, just get to the point,” the Honored One Miao Dong said coldly.
Green Robe’s demeanor turned reverent as he reported the sensation of the Golden Silkworm Gu’s movement without hiding anything, fearing the consequences of omitting any important clue.
After Green Robe’s report, The Honored One Miao Dong fell silent for a moment, pondered for a long time, and then spoke again.
“It seems the Golden Silkworm will awaken soon.
That fellow Ye Tian, although strong, is no match for my Golden Silkworm Gu, hehehe, this is good.
He shouldn’t even dream of escaping from the palm of my hand.”
Green Robe chimed in, “Ye Tian is done for this time.
My lord, your sorcery is invincible, whoever opposes you is on the path of death.”
“All right, no more flattery.” The Honored One Miao Dong said icily, “Don’t do anything rash until the Golden Silkworm Gu has fully revived.
Just keep a covert watch on Ye Tian, understood?”
“I understand,” said Green Robe.
But within his heart, doubts arose.
Based on past patterns, the Honored One would have preferred to simply eliminate Ye Tian upon the awakening of the Gu.
But now, his tone had clearly changed.
Perhaps he no longer wanted to kill Ye Tian?
The Honored One Miao Dong asked darkly, “What are you thinking?
Do you dare question my command?”
“I wouldn’t dare!” exclaimed the green-haired man, as he knelt trembling on the ground.
“That’s what I thought,” said The Honored One Miao Dong coldly.
“It wouldn’t hurt to inform you, I indeed have changed my perspective on Ye Tian.
A rare master like him should not be wasted by mere killing.
It’s better to use the Golden Silkworm Gu to turn him into a Gu Puppet, which will later aid me in conquering the lands, establishing a vast empire!”
Disappointed upon hearing these words, Green Robe knew that avenging himself on Ye Tian was out of the question.
The Honored One had taken a liking to him and wanted to turn him into a Gu Puppet devoid of self-awareness, which undoubtedly disrupted his plans for revenge.
“That will be all,” said The Honored One Miao Dong in a sinister tone, “Any further movements from the Golden Silkworm, you must report to me immediately, got it?”
“I understand,” replied the green-haired man, nodding promptly.
After hanging up the phone with The Honored One Miao Dong, the green-haired man sighed, clenched his fist and smashed it hard against the tempered glass, feeling extremely unwilling in his heart.
Ye Tian had caused him to suffer a nose penalty, and he would never forget this vengeance.
But now, The Honored One had actually changed his mind about killing Ye Tian and even wanted to turn him into a Gu Puppet for future use.
This meant he had even less of an opportunity to kill Ye Tian.
“Why, why does it have to be like this!” the green-haired man roared upwards to the sky, his heart filled with unwillingness.
…
In contrast to the frustrated man in the green robe, Zeng Jun, another of Ye Tian’s great enemies, was much more carefree and comfortable.
Golden Splendor was the largest entertainment club in Jiang City.
In such a place, as long as you had enough RMB, you could even play with top-line female celebrities.
Zeng Jun had already received a call from his subordinates, saying that Ye Tian and his car were both completely destroyed.
The scene of the accident was a mess, full of blood and car parts, too gruesome to witness, to the point where even the firefighters had been called out.
“Very good, you have done well,” Zeng Jun said to his subordinates.
His subordinates even sent over a news report, confirming how tragic the accident was and how pitifully Ye Tian had died.
Zeng Jun was overjoyed after seeing the news report.
With Ye Tian, his target, killed, Zeng Jun’s purpose in coming to Jiang City had been achieved.
He had nothing here to keep him, so he decided to enjoy himself at Golden Splendor for a while before taking the afternoon flight back to Capital City, leaving this damned place behind.
After carelessly tossing the photos of the accident scene on the ground, Zeng Jun sat up from the big bed in the brothel, told the girls to help him get dressed in his suit, then took his luggage and left Golden Splendor.
He drove his black Range Rover towards the airport.
It was already two in the afternoon, and Zeng Jun’s flight was taking off at three.
He couldn’t wait to leave Jiang City, swearing he would never come back to this godforsaken place in his lifetime.
The black Range Rover sped along the outer ring road; Zeng Jun drove fiercely, determined to overtake everyone, no matter if it was a Maserati or an Audi A4 with a government license plate—he overtook them all.
Soon, he arrived at the airport.
After leaving the Range Rover in the parking lot, Zeng Jun got out of the car.
He didn’t lock the door, leaving the car keys inside.
After all, he couldn’t take it with him, so whoever wanted the car could have it.
It was only worth a few hundred thousand, and he really didn’t care.
When he entered the terminal at twenty past two, the staff were starting the security checks, and the passengers were boarding.
Zeng Jun stood among the flow of people, walking indifferently towards the boarding gate.
“I’m finally leaving this rotten place of Jiang City.
Capital City is my paradise.”
Zeng Jun was in a very good mood.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
It was a call from the Wang Family.
At this time, could it be that they knew he had completed his mission and were calling specially to commend him?
With this thought, Zeng Jun’s happiness increased as he answered the phone.
“I’m Zeng Jun.
The mission is completed,” Zeng Jun said blissfully, waiting for the other party’s praise.
“Zeng Jun, you fool!
Are you sure you completed the mission?
Why have I received reliable information that Ye Tian is still alive?
What kind of job have you done?” The higher-up from the Wang Family erupted in rage.
“How is that possible?” Zeng Jun was dumbfounded.
He clearly saw the photos of the accident scene and the news report.
It was a complete mess, with blood everywhere.
The two large trucks were wrecked beyond recognition, and the sports car driven by Ye Tian had been flattened.
Now the higher-up was saying Ye Tian wasn’t dead; it was hard for him to believe.
“How could it be possible?
Hmmph, are you doubting me?” The high-level Wang Family member bellowed angrily, “I don’t care what you do, but you must kill Ye Tian and avenge Wang Qiang.
In three days, if I still haven’t heard the news of Ye Tian’s death, then you don’t need to come back at all!
Go to hell!”
Bang!
The other party hung up the phone.
Zeng Jun’s eyebrows knitted together, his expression extremely somber.
“Sir, are you boarding the plane?
If so, please cooperate with our security check.
Thank you,” said a female staff member at the terminal politely.
Zeng Jun frowned and retorted, “Board what nonsense!
I’m going to kill someone!”
With that, he turned around and left.
He stomped on the ground, causing the entire terminal to tremble.
His face was full of murderous intent and icy coldness, scaring the other passengers who all made way for him, no one daring to clash with such a ferocious figure.
Pissed off, Zeng Jun stormed out of the terminal and returned to the parking lot, only to find his black Range Rover gone.
He thought he would never come back and had left the keys in the car, not planning to take it again.
Now that he had to stay in Jiang City a few more days, even his car had been stolen; it was infuriating.
“Damn Jiang City!
Damn car thieves, and that cunning Ye Tian, I’m going to skin all of you!”
After his angry outburst, Zeng Jun immediately dialed the numbers of the hooligans in Jiang City, cursing them out, warning them to wait for him as he was on his way to find them.
The mission to kill Ye Tian had failed, and they were going to pay a bloody price.
After finishing the call, an infuriated Zeng Jun smashed his phone to pieces, cursing, “A bunch of trash, all of them trash, all of you die!
Die!”
This time, he was truly enraged.
To kill Ye Tian, he was willing to do anything crazy.
After wrecking his phone, Zeng Jun stormed off, furious!
“Beep!”
Just as he stepped outside, suddenly a loud honk resounded!
Zeng Jun turned his head and saw an out-of-control large truck hurtling toward him!
