"Mr. Chen, if you have a way to save Gu Cheng, I hope you can put aside past grievances and save his life. I will thank you on his behalf!"

As Old Ye spoke, he bowed deeply to Chen Xiao.

Seeing this scene, the people around were stunned. Old Ye held such a noble status. Some of the staff had followed him for decades and had never seen him bow to anyone!

However, Chen Xiao did not decline and accepted it calmly.

Because he felt that he deserved the bow. After all, he and Ye Gu Cheng were not related, and Ye Gu Cheng had repeatedly spoken disrespectfully to him. Why should he save him?

Even for the sake of Mayor Mo, Chen Xiao didn't need to save Ye Gu Cheng. After all, Mayor Mo had asked him to save Old Ye.

And now Old Ye was already better. Judging by his physical condition, living another twenty years wouldn't be a problem.

But seeing Old Ye pleading so earnestly, Chen Xiao's mind wavered slightly.

Seeing Chen Xiao's expression soften, Old Ye quickly kicked Ye Gu Cheng. "You rebellious son, quickly beg Mr. Chen for help! The only one who can save your life now is Mr. Chen!"

Hearing that there was still hope for survival, Ye Gu Cheng didn't care about anything else and kowtowed like he was pounding garlic.

"Mr. Chen, please save my life!"

"I was wrong before, I offended you many times. I will definitely change in the future!"

"Please give me another chance to live. I don't want to die, I really don't want to die..."

Ye Gu Cheng really didn't want to die, kowtowing until his head was bloody.

"Very well!"

Chen Xiao sighed and took out a Juling Dan (Spirit Gathering Pill) from his pocket.

"Today, I will save your life for Old Ye's sake. This life of yours was given by me. If I ever find out that you are doing something bad, I will definitely take it back!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, I will definitely accumulate good karma in the future. As long as I can live, I will definitely be a good person!"

Ye Gu Cheng said sincerely. After receiving the Juling Dan, he swallowed it in one gulp.

After only three or four seconds, the effects of the Juling Dan began to take effect, causing Ye Gu Cheng to roll around on the ground in pain.

"Mr. Chen, will this rebellious son be alright?"

Old Ye's eyes were full of worry.

Chen Xiao waved his hand. "It's fine. This is the detoxification stage, so it will naturally be very painful. But all this pain is what he deserves!"

The more pleasure he had when using Xiaoyao Wan (Carefree Pills), the more pain he would have now.

More than half an hour later, Ye Gu Cheng finally stopped rolling on the ground and stopped shouting in pain, because he had fainted on the ground.

"It seems he's alright now. Let him sleep. He'll be fine when he wakes up. I hope he can turn over a new leaf and start anew."

Chen Xiao said calmly.

Old Ye was overjoyed and quickly ordered people to carry Ye Gu Cheng and Ye Baichi into the room to sleep.

Then he dismissed the servants and bodyguards.

Besides Chen Xiao and him, only Huang Da Shi's corpse remained in the room.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen. You have shown great kindness to our Ye family. I really don't know how to thank you!"

It could be seen that Old Ye's gratitude to Chen Xiao was sincere.

But he really didn't know how to thank Chen Xiao. After all, if he offered money to an expert like Chen Xiao, it would be an insult to him.

Chen Xiao didn't know what Old Ye was thinking. If he knew, he would definitely let Old Ye insult him properly, preferably with several hundred million first...

"Mr. Chen, if you encounter any trouble in the future, just let us know. As long as it is within our Ye family's ability, we, the entire Ye family, will not hesitate!"

Old Ye said solemnly.

Chen Xiao waved his hand. "Alright, alright, Old Ye. Just be polite, you don't need to keep going on... Alright, you're fine now, and I've completed the task Mayor Mo gave me, so I'll take my leave first!"

"Mr. Chen, don't rush. What should we do with this guy?"

Old Ye pointed to Huang Da Shi's corpse and asked.

Chen Xiao said indifferently, "Just burn it to ashes. Old Ye, is that alright?"

"No problem, no problem. Don't worry, Mr. Chen, leave this to me!"

Old Ye said hurriedly.

Seeing his solemn expression, Chen Xiao thought to himself that this old fellow was indeed not a good person. This was probably not the first time he had done something like this.

Realizing that he had spoken carelessly, Old Ye quickly changed the subject and asked, "Mr. Chen, this demonic Taoist priest seems to have some background. Will killing him like this cause trouble?"

"Hehe..."

Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Old Ye, you don't need to worry about that!"

How could Chen Xiao not hear that this old fellow was trying to trick him? So he decided to scare the old fellow and let him know that there were some things that he shouldn't know.

"Old Ye, don't be afraid when I say this, but Huang Da Shi is not actually dead. He has already left..."

"What?"

Old Ye was shocked, and goosebumps rose all over his body. "Mr. Chen, don't scare me. His body is clearly still here!"

Chen Xiao said, "The body is indeed still here, but is that yellow weasel still here?"

Old Ye mustered his courage and went forward to check. He immediately shook his head and said, "Mr. Chen, that beast has escaped..."

Then he seemed to suddenly react. "Mr. Chen, could it be that you deliberately let that thing go?"

He didn't know whether to call it "he" or "it" at this moment.

Chen Xiao smiled without saying a word, his face full of mystery.

Old Ye immediately understood that Chen Xiao had deliberately let the yellow weasel escape in order to find out the forces behind it.

And Chen Xiao's silence also made him understand that the following matters were not something he should inquire about.

Sometimes, it was better to mind one's own business...

At the same time, the yellow weasel had already run out of the Ye family's villa. It ran all the way back to the city, crossed several streets and alleys, and arrived at Jiang City's most luxurious hotel, the Maple Leaf Hotel.

It followed the ventilation duct straight to the top floor of the hotel.

The top floor of the hotel was the most luxurious presidential suite in the entire Maple Leaf Hotel. For many years, this floor had been occupied by a mysterious rich man, who booked it for a year at a time.

The rich man lived in seclusion, and no one knew what business he was in. The service staff only knew that his surname was Huang, and everyone called him Mr. Huang.

At this time, Mr. Huang was sitting in a chair smoking a cigar, staring at the afterglow of the setting sun, his brow furrowed, looking very worried.

Just then, there was a rustling sound from the ceiling.

Mr. Huang tensed up slightly, but then relaxed. It turned out that the yellow weasel had returned.

The yellow weasel poked its head out of the vent, and then squeezed its whole body out. After a free fall in the air, it fell to the ground.

Mr. Huang looked at the squeaking yellow weasel and frowned. "Why did you come back by yourself? Where's my father?"
