Villain: Starting as a Corrupt Tycoon's Wife

Page 119

"Flowing Cloud Palm!"

This is his family's martial art, which allows one to unleash external force at the Tongxuan realm, attacking enemies three meters away!

Just as the woman swung her dagger at him again, the man struck out with his palm.

The woman clearly hadn't expected the man to have this move. Although she managed to block it with both hands, she was still blasted away by the fierce wind.

He used less than 70% of his strength, simply because he didn't want to kill anyone and get into unnecessary trouble.

After forcing the woman away, he immediately ran towards the fork in the road on the right.

After he left, the woman slowly stood up and dusted herself off.

She gently pressed the Bluetooth earpiece and reported the situation to the other end.

"This guy is quite strong, and he's heading east now."

He hadn't run far when he unexpectedly bumped into the policewoman who was turning back.

Looking at the gun in An Xin's hand, he raised his hands, appearing somewhat innocent: "Officer, I just went out to buy a late-night snack, is that a crime?"

"Shut up!" An Xin scrutinized the other person's face, which was completely different from Yu Chen's, but did not lower her guard. "Hands behind your head and squat down!"

"Okay, okay, don't get agitated!"

The man pretended to cover his head with his hands, but suddenly changed his actions halfway through, grabbing the baseball cap on his head and throwing it at An Xin's face!

Taking advantage of An Xin's subconscious turn of her head to dodge, he suddenly turned to the side, grabbed the brick wall beside him with one hand, and leaped into the air like an agile cheetah, instantly jumping onto the nearly three-meter-high wall.

"Beautiful lady, until we meet again!"

His voice carried on the wind as he sped away, stepping on the walls, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness.

An Xin gritted her teeth, knowing that she couldn't catch up at her speed, and could only reluctantly put down the gun in her hand.

After running for a while, the man realized that An Xin could no longer catch up with him, so he hummed a little tune and turned towards his residence.

Before he could gloat for even a few seconds, two streams of true energy flew toward him!

Damn it, I didn't check the almanac before I went out today!

The true energy was incredibly fast; the man had no time to dodge and was struck on a pressure point, forcing him to kneel on the ground.

A seemingly ordinary man, around 30 years old, walked over from a distance, yet he exuded an aura that chilled Yu Chen to the bone!

This feeling was far stronger than any of the strong people he had ever met!

"Your name is Yu Chen, right?"

The man's voice was deep, and Yu Chen couldn't decipher his tone at all.

Yu Chen swallowed hard: "You've mistaken me for someone else, haven't you?"

Before Yu Chen could react, the other person grabbed him by the neck!

The other person was incredibly strong; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pry the other person's arms off.

"Since I've come to find you, it means I already know your true identity." The man pinned him against the wall. "If you do one thing for me, I'll let you go. Otherwise, I'll make you regret ever being born."

"Ahem...please...speak!"

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. Yu Chen was thinking about how to get out of this situation, but on the surface, he nodded vigorously.

"I need you to help me steal something, and in return, I will provide you with some assistance."

Chapter 194 New Announcement

Inside the manor, Ling Yun, who was sprinting at high speed while holding onto Lin Wan's arms, suddenly froze.

[Due to the "protagonist" Ye Chen being taken hostage by a mysterious martial artist, the plot has been significantly impacted, resulting in a reduction of 1000 points in luck, currently at 3500/4500!]

what's the situation?

Ling Yun hadn't even gone to find Ye Chen when the other person was already killed?

He stopped moving, and Lin Wan turned her head, wiggling her hips a couple of times: "Honey~ why aren't you moving?"

"coming."

"Things will work themselves out in the end," and thinking about it now is a waste of time.

Besides, why not have someone work for you?

Besides, what's more important than Ye Chen? He's a master of the Ouija board!

Ling Yun placed one leg on the bed, grabbed her arm with one hand, and patted and pinched her snowy buttocks.

Later, Lin Wan could no longer tell whether the sounds echoing inside the room were caused by impacts or slaps.

The moment the rich aroma entered her body, the spirit of the Ouija board whimpered and then collapsed...

As night fell, the man released Yu Chen after administering some kind of poison.

This poison is even more vicious than the Gu poison that Gao Qiang gave to Lao Mo. He has to take the corresponding antidote every day, otherwise he will suffer from unbearable convulsions, pain, and itching all over his body, making him wish he were dead.

He gave Yu Chen three days' worth of antidote in one go, just waiting to see his performance.

If he performs well, then he can consider taking him under his wing and then using the antidote to control him.

If you don't perform well, then just let yourself fend for yourself.

This kind of antidote is not something an ordinary doctor can concoct. If Yu Chen had the ability and connections, he wouldn't need to hide in the capital.

Ten minutes after Yu Chen walked away, the beautiful Tongxuan Realm woman finally arrived late.

"You came?"

The woman stopped five meters away from him. "Where is he?"

"gone."

The woman seemed to have expected this. She crossed her arms and stamped her foot: "Since it's all over, then I'll..."

"With your abilities, it's unlikely you'll let him escape."

The man's gaze was like that of an eagle, making the woman feel as if she had thorns in her back.

"I was careless. I didn't expect him to have a ranged attack capability."

"This is not an excuse!"

Upon hearing his low growl, the woman instinctively took a few steps back.

The man realized he had gone too far and took a few deep breaths: "Sorry, my tone was a bit harsh."

"It's okay. I'm leaving first."

The woman didn't speak to him again, turned around and walked into the alley.

The man's expression softened slightly as he watched the woman's figure disappear.

He's been in a very bad mood lately. It's one thing for that pretty woman to not put in any effort at work, but after all, she's a spoiled young lady from Shanghai.

But another thing was the real reason why he lost control of his emotions.

why?

In what way am I inferior to that damn guy?

He felt a faint green light emanating from the top of his head, but he didn't want to go and ask directly. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable!

In Shanghai, people kept trying to set him up with fashionable women. He was actually somewhat tempted, after all, she had a great figure and was stunningly beautiful. No man would have a reason to refuse her, but in order to keep his previous promise, he politely declined.

But now, his persistence seems to have become a joke.

They haven't really established a relationship yet, and the man has no other option but to forgive her.

But he wouldn't let that pretty boy off easily.

"Did you two encounter a man who resembled Ye Chen last night?"

"I'm sorry, Director Cai, he's a martial artist, and since I couldn't confirm his identity, I didn't dare to fire rashly, and in the end, he got away..."

An Xin stood in front of her bureau chief, head bowed, looking somewhat forlorn.

After letting Yu Chen escape yesterday, Liang Man and An Xin informed the task force.

Gao Zhenping took this very seriously and immediately arranged for his team members to retrieve the surveillance footage. Unfortunately, that area was a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, and they couldn't see anything.

"You don't need to apologize to me. If Ye Chen were so easy to catch, he wouldn't be Ye Chen."

Director Cai was quite cheerful, as long as there were clues, he was afraid of being like a headless fly.

Unlike Director Cai, many members of the task force had reservations about the two women.

The reason is simple: they were alerting the enemy. If the man really is Ye Chen, he probably won't appear in the public eye for a while.

An Xin felt extremely guilty, and Liang Man kept comforting her.

"Blame me for choosing the wrong path. If I had been with you, we might have caught that guy!"

Liang Man sat down next to her and put her arm around her shoulder.

An Xin quickly adjusted her emotions and managed a weak smile: "Thank you, but last night proved my judgment was correct. Perhaps he didn't even notice his habitual actions..."

"Should we tell Elder Gao and the others about this detail?"

Liang Man also had her own ulterior motives; she wanted to claim the credit for her own branch office.

"Let's put everything else aside for now. The most important thing is to capture Ye Chen as soon as possible to prevent him from committing further crimes."

"Okay, you found this out, so I'll do whatever you say."

Anxin told Gao Zhenping about her discovery, but she didn't expect that Gao had already seen through it.

The reason he didn't reveal this was not only because he was worried that Ye Chen was doing it on purpose, but also because the task force was large and complex, with people from various places mixed in. The previous "vacation" was intended to weed out some people with connections and leave behind the truly outstanding team members who wanted to capture Ye Chen.

He worried that if this characteristic were made public, his team members would focus too much on the person "twisting their neck" during the operation, causing their unnatural concentration during surveillance to alert the cunning Ye Chen. He chose to keep it secret for the time being so that he or a few of his absolute core members could make the final confirmation at the moment of the operation, achieving a precise strike.

After hanging up the phone, An Xin shook her head: "As expected of Professor Gao, I almost forgot that I learned about 'features' from his online course."

Liang Man rested her head on her hand, smiling broadly: "We should be glad that Old Gao is here; that guy definitely won't be able to escape."

"Whether Ye Chen committed the crime as part of a group or as an individual remains unknown."

Their identities have already been exposed, and if they reappear, Ye Chen will definitely become suspicious.

There was no need to let them go out in plain clothes anymore, so Gao Zhenping assigned this task to other team members.

Meanwhile, Erleng led the Wangwang Special Agent Team to begin a covert investigation into Yu Chen.

The task force was in the open, while the special agents were in the shadows. He was very confident in capturing Ye Chen.

Just as the search was in full swing, a card with a notice on it appeared at the front desk of Xinghe Group on the first floor.

When the receptionist received the card, she initially thought it was a prank. However, the card was well-made, and the font was exactly the same as the announcement letter that had been exposed online. She then dialed Ling Shuang's number.

An hour later, the task force members arrived at the headquarters building of Xinghe Group.

Chapter 195 Please enter the urn

[To Mr. Lingyun:]

[I have long admired the brilliance of the "Star River," believing it to hold a ray of wisdom capable of illuminating the future. I yearn to see it for myself and have decided to visit your esteemed residence tomorrow evening at 8 PM.]

[At that time, your impregnable palace and ubiquitous "eyes" will become the most interesting guests in this performance.]

[When you receive this card, the show has already begun.]

[Please await my visit.]

[Respectfully submitted by Ye Chen!]

Ling Yun looked at the words on the card and never expected that this guy would actually send him a notice!

No, has he always been this brave?

An Xin and Liang Man stood on either side of him, equally shocked.

In the past, Ye Chen would commit crimes every month or so, but only a few days have passed and he's already planning to strike again!

Is this a provocation against the task force, or is there another reason?

"Does he know the consequences of his actions?" Ling Shuang sneered. "Is he just waiting to be part of the communal dining system?"
