A few minutes later.
Chen Jinzhao received a text message from Xu Nianqing informing him that Mo He had been safely delivered to the hospital.
At the same time, the sound of car engines could be heard from outside.
Yu Shenxing had arrived.
Wang Xinrong was overjoyed and craned his neck to look outside.
Soon after.
Yu Shenxing, accompanied by several bodyguards, rushed into the villa. Since Chen Jinzhao was sitting on the sofa, Yu Shenxing didn't see him at first.
"Where is Xindong?" he asked with a frown.
Wang Xinrong fell to his knees with a plop and wailed at Yu Shenxing, "Cousin, Xindong... he's already been killed by this slut!"
Yu Shenxing glanced down at the two female corpses, then at Sister Hong and the others, his brows filled with escalating anger. "What were you guys doing? You couldn't even handle a few women?"
"Do I have to do it myself?"
His three younger cousins had been troublesome for more than a day or two, and Yu Shenxing had bailed them out countless times.
Wang Xinrong pointed at Chen Jinzhao, who was sitting on the sofa, and exclaimed, "Cousin, this person is the mastermind. If he hadn't suddenly burst into the villa and knocked Xindong out, these bitches wouldn't have been able to act."
Following Wang Xinrong's pointed direction, Yu Shenxing saw Chen Jinzhao leaning on the sofa, eyes closed, resting.
As he clearly saw the face, Yu Shenxing's gaze sharpened.
How could it be him?
Yu Shenxing's thoughts were highly consistent with Yu Lingxiao's. He harbored no affection for Chen Jinzhao, only disgust.
Chen Jinzhao was a stumbling block to the alliance between the Yu family and the Qin family. The Yu family's ambition to ascend to the status of a true aristocratic clan necessitated their union with the Qin family, but Chen Jinzhao's appearance disrupted everything.
Chen Jinzhao opened his eyes and met Yu Shenxing's gaze.
Yu Shenxing said coldly, "Chen Jinzhao, if you don't give me a reasonable explanation, I guarantee you'll regret it. Don't think Yu Mengzhi can protect you; she wouldn't be foolish enough to interfere in matters like this."
"This has nothing to do with her. I take full responsibility for my actions," Chen Jinzhao said with a smile.
Yu Shenxing's gaze was sharp. Wang Xinrong, after a moment of stunned silence, asked, "Cousin, how do you know him?"
"He's Yu Mengzhi's useless boyfriend, that slobby security guard from Gouchen Group. Does he really think a toad can eat swan meat!" Yu Shenxing's choice of words was extremely contemptuous towards Chen Jinzhao.
Wang Xinrong was stunned.
This was a case of a misunderstanding turning into a disaster. But his brother couldn't die in vain.
"So... what do we do now?" Wang Xinrong was at a loss.
Yu Shenxing cast a sidelong glance at Sister Hong and the others, a slight snort escaping his nostrils. "Make them disappear from Jiangnan completely."
"Ah?"
"You mean kill them all? Isn't that a bit excessive?" Wang Xinrong faltered.
Yu Shenxing glared fiercely at Wang Xinrong, calling him useless. "To achieve great things, one must be ruthless. Besides, the work these women do is illicit. Their disappearance won't attract much attention. As long as you clean up the mess, no one will know what happened. China has so many missing persons every year; a few more won't make a difference."
The conversation between the two filled Sister Hong and the others with dread.
In the eyes of these young masters, they were like pigs in a slaughterhouse, ready to be butchered.
Wang Xinrong knew he had to do it, but he had been scared out of his wits by Chen Jinzhao just moments ago. He patted his chest and said, "Brother, I know what to do. I won't let any wind leak out."
"And this Chen Jinzhao..."
Yu Shenxing raised his hand, signaling Wang Xinrong to shut up.
He walked up to Chen Jinzhao and looked down at him, "Speak. Do you want me to do it myself, or will you disappear on your own?"
Chen Jinzhao shook his head. "I choose neither."
Yu Shenxing raised an eyebrow, his tone laced with impatience. "You should understand that it's not difficult for me to get rid of you with my connections. Grandpa has been too lenient with you."
Chen Jinzhao blinked.
Then, he chuckled inwardly. It seemed Yu Lingxiao was very concerned about his reputation and hadn't told anyone about his failed mission.
"You're laughing?" Yu Shenxing was enraged.
"Don't think you can act tough just because you're Yu Mengzhi's boyfriend. Even if she finds out I did this to you, she won't dare to say a word."
"Do you believe me?"
Facing Yu Shenxing's question, Chen Jinzhao stood up and met his eyes.
In the other man's eyes, he saw hypocrisy, ruthlessness, malice, and ridicule, starkly different from Yu Mengzhi's clear and pure gaze.
After a moment.
Chen Jinzhao shook his head. "I don't believe you."
Yu Shenxing laughed heartily, finding Chen Jinzhao too naive.
Strictly speaking, Yu Mengzhi and he were siblings by blood. What reason would Yu Mengzhi have to help an outsider instead of her own brother?
However—
Yu Shenxing was unaware.
Yu Mengzhi had always been someone who upheld righteousness over kinship. Honesty was etched into her very being.
This was why Chen Jinzhao trusted her so implicitly.
Facing Yu Shenxing's mockery, Chen Jinzhao said unfazed, "You cousins collude with each other and must have committed many heinous acts. You deserve to face legal retribution."
*Slap!*
Yu Shenxing produced a gun from somewhere.
The dark muzzle pressed against Chen Jinzhao's forehead, making Sister Hong and the others' hearts leap into their throats.
If the trigger were pulled, Chen Jinzhao would lose his life.
Yu Shenxing hoped to see intense fear and obedience in Chen Jinzhao's eyes. To his disappointment, Chen Jinzhao's gaze remained clear, devoid of fear.
This made Yu Shenxing feel provoked.
"You're not afraid?" Yu Shenxing asked coldly.
"Afraid?"
Chen Jinzhao chuckled. "If I were afraid, would you let me go?"
"Of course not."
Yu Shenxing's lips curved into a smug arc. He had heard his father mention earlier that the old man was troubled about how to deal with Chen Jinzhao. Today, he, the eldest grandson, could finally ease his grandfather's worries.
The old man would be very happy if he knew how capable he was, wouldn't he?
"Then, die!" Yu Shenxing's gaze focused as he intended to shoot Chen Jinzhao dead.
*Whoosh!*
A cold glint appeared!
Chen Jinzhao, wielding the Tai Sui, pierced Yu Shenxing's elbow joint before he could fire, then twisted it fiercely. Bone and flesh shattered and fused together, indistinguishable.
"Pointing a gun at me is an additional crime."
Even if Chen Jinzhao killed Yu Shenxing on the spot, no one would dare to utter a word of protest!
"Argh!!!"
Yu Shenxing screamed in agony, the gun falling from his hand.
Chen Jinzhao withdrew the Tai Sui from Yu Shenxing's elbow and then proceeded to disable his left hand in the same manner! This was the consequence of pointing a gun at Chen Jinzhao. The reason he spared Yu Shenxing's life was not out of consideration for Yu Mengzhi, but in the hope that these scumbags would be judged fairly and justly by the law!
Allowing more people to see the true face of these so-called aristocratic families!
"Chen Jinzhao!!"
"I will absolutely kill you! You just wait!!!"
