"No matter what, I promised my father that I would never let the Five Elents Sect be destroyed in my hands. You must all make every effort to find the tal Origin Bead and Wood Origin Bead. We must get to these two Elental Beads before anyone else. Jin Yunhai and Lin Zhishan’s people are all secretly searching for these two Elental Beads—we absolutely cannot let them find them, or I’m afraid the Five Elents Sect will truly fall into chaos," Duan Ningyu said with a solemn expression and a grave tone.
"Please rest assured, Sect Leader, we will do our utmost to search for them. However, these Elental Beads have been lost for several hundred years, and finding them again is probably not going to be easy," Kun Ling said.
"Since the Fire Origin Pearl has already appeared, and we have found both the Earth Origin Bead and Water Origin Bead, the remaining two will naturally not be able to escape," Duan Ningyu said in a heavy voice.
...
The next day, Ye Luo was awakened by the ringing of his cell phone.
"Hello? Who is it?" Ye Luo muttered groggily.
"Do you still want to know where Chen Yaowen is?" Mingyue’s voice ca from the phone, jolting Ye Luo fully awake.
"Did you find out?" Ye Luo suddenly beca alert.
"Of course, after an investigation by the special security bureau, this Chen Yaowen has been lying low these past few days, seemingly avoiding soone. However, based on our investigation, we were still able to find his hiding place. There’s also the matter you asked to investigate about i Yue Company—this governnt matter involves Mayor Shen’s intervention," Mingyue said indifferently.
"Mayor Shen?" Ye Luo was taken aback.
"He’s the younger brother of the Family Head of Zhonghai’s number one Shen Family, Shen Changqing," Mingyue explained.
Ye Luo imdiately understood. So the Shen Family was involved, which explained why things had turned out this way.
"If you want to resolve the crisis of i Yue Company, I’m afraid you’ll have to confront this Shen Changqing," Mingyue said.
"Get the special security bureau to find all those people who checked on i Yue Company’s products and did the autopsy for those five victims," Ye Luo said with a heavy voice.
"Are you trying to use them to prove i Yue’s innocence?" Mingyue asked.
"Exactly."
Mingyue then said, "Even if we find these people and establish the innocence of i Yue Company, you still need soone with strong authority to co forward and clarify it, so all of Zhonghai’s citizens will accept it. Otherwise, in this situation, no one will believe it."
"Do you have any ideas?" Ye Luo asked curiously.
"Are you asking for my help?"
A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of Mingyue’s lips, who was in Capital City.
"Do you want to go to Capital City and spank your butt again?" Ye Luo said with a wicked smile.
Mingyue’s pretty face turned red at once, recalling the day in the car when Ye Luo had actually spanked her, sending an inexplicable feeling through her heart, like an electric current passing through her body.
"You rogue," Mingyue cursed, then imdiately nad soone.
Ye Luo’s eyes sharpened, a gleam flashing through them. He laughed and said, "Thanks, next ti I go to Capital City, I’ll definitely let you experience that wonderful feeling again. Besides, your buttocks are indeed very soft and bouncy."
After saying that, Ye Luo hung up the phone, leaving Mingyue in Capital City so angry she almost threw her phone.
"This big rogue!"
Mingyue’s pretty face was flushed red, and she involuntarily caressed her perky buttocks. A peculiar glint flickered in her eyes.
Walking out of the room, all the ladies were up already. The villa instantly beca very lively with the addition of several people.
"Ye Luo, co have breakfast," Lin Xiaoyan said to Ye Luo with a smile.
"No thanks, I’ve got sothing to deal with. You guys go ahead," Ye Luo replied, and promptly left the villa.
Zhonghai, an ordinary apartnt complex.
At this mont, in one of the apartnts, Chen Yaowen sat with a can of beer in his hand, looking sowhat haggard.
Ever since he and Fang Yan left Ling Corporation that day and realized Fang Yan’s intention to burn bridges, Chen Yaowen had been wary and kept himself hidden.
With Fang Yan’s nature, to cut ties was to leave no stone unturned. Indeed, Fang Yan’s n had been searching for him these past days, driving Chen Yaowen to beco like a stray dog, hiding out here.
"Damn it!"
Chen Yaowen violently smashed his beer can on the ground, looking rather angry. He had never imagined he’d end up like this.
All he had wanted was to seize the opportunity to take down Ling Qingya by collaborating with Fang Yan, yet not only had he failed to capture Ling Qingya, he’d now lost everything himself.
Chen Yaowen then stood up and walked into a room. He took a USB flash drive out of a safe and sneered, "Fang Yan, bet you didn’t expect to have a backup plan. With this, let’s see if you can still throw under the bus."
Just then, the doorbell rang, and Chen Yaowen’s expression changed. He quickly put the USB back into the safe and went out to approach the security door, asking, "Who is it?"
No one outside responded. As Chen Yaowen peered through the peephole, he saw four n in black standing outside, which imdiately changed his expression.
Bang!
The dull, thunderous noise erupted in an instant. The security door was blasted open, and Chen Yaowen was thrown backward, crashing to the ground and spitting blood.
The security door lay on the floor as the four n in black entered; they were the four Innate Late Stage experts from Fang Yan’s retinue.
"You... you..." Chen Yaowen’s face went pale as his expression shifted rapidly. He had seen these n before while he was with Fang Yan and knew that they were Fang Yan’s n. He hadn’t expected they would still manage to find him here.
"You’ve got so decent hiding skills, eh? Made us search for a good dozen hours," one of the four n said coldly.
"No need for chit-chat, just kill him and be done with it," another one said, stepping forward, ready to finish Chen Yaowen off.
"No... please, don’t. If you kill , everything Fang Yan has done will be exposed for all to see," Chen Yaowen stamred frantically.
Imdiately, the fist that was about to smash down halted, and the other three n’s expressions narrowed.
"What do you an?"
"I have a recording that docunts all the conspiracies between and Fang Yan against Ling Corporation. If I die, this recording will be released, and everyone will know Ling Corporation is innocent while all of Fang Yan’s efforts will be in vain," Chen Yaowen said, his voice trembling.
"Where is the recording?" the man who was about to strike asked coldly.
"Let go, and I’ll give the recording to you," Chen Yaowen’s face was painted with fear.
Thereupon, the man grabbed Chen Yaowen’s neck and lifted him up, choking him tightly.
"You still dare to make conditions? If you don’t speak up, you’re going to die at once," he threatened.
"I... I..." Chen Yaowen’s face turned crimson, and he was nearly unable to breathe.
