Life at this moment was fragile, like tofu, even more so than tofu!
Blood gushed from a bowl-sized hole, and then two mutilated bodies fell to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust. This was the only sound they made before leaving this world.
At this moment, Shi Buddha was staring closely at the scene. Following his gaze, one could see an almost invisible silver thread hanging in midair. If Shi Buddha hadn’t known in advance what weapon the Ghost-faced God of Killing used, he probably wouldn’t have noticed it either.
With a slight tremor, the Ghost-faced God of Killing retracted his weapon.
It was that hair-thin silver thread that had just decapitated the two men. The two Black Poppies would likely die without ever knowing that this thread had severed their heads.
"Your methods are still as sharp as always!" Shi Buddha couldn’t help but praise.
"They were asking for death," came an icy voice from the Ghost-faced God of Killing, as if it froze the air around them.
Heavenly Eye glanced at the Ghost-faced God of Killing and Shi Buddha, then looked at the gruesome corpses on the ground, shivering uncontrollably.
"God, what have I just experienced? God knows what I’ve been through."
The Dragon Knight Forbidden Army had once filled him with infinite longing, but now this bloody scene filled him with fear.
He didn’t know if he had made the right choice, after all, he was still just a child.
"You’ll get used to this kind of scene, kid. Consider today your first lesson. We, the Dragon Knight Forbidden Army, can’t afford to be so cowardly," Shi Buddha patted Heavenly Eye’s shoulder and leisurely lit a cigarette.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Heavenly Eye, the young lad, rushed to the side and vomited.
"His identity is not simple; many people must have their eyes on him," remarked the Ghost-faced God of Killing, glancing at Heavenly Eye.
After the trip to Ziguang Temple, Chu Qingxue plunged into her work, while Chu Qingfei returned to Jiangnan Film City, busy with her own affairs.
"I’ve bought this villa. You can live here from now on," Ye Chenfeng said to Shi Buddha, looking somewhat helpless.
This guy looked every inch the nouveau riche, wearing a thick gold chain, oversized sunglasses, and puffing on a cigar, as if afraid others wouldn’t know he was wealthy.
To Ye Chenfeng’s surprise, even young Heavenly Eye had a cigarette hanging from his mouth. He was trying to smoke but ended up coughing violently.
"Alright, this will do. Divine King, you’re still as generous as ever," Shi Buddha said casually.
"Great Divine King, can I also live here?" Heavenly Eye clearly had been influenced by Shi Buddha and wanted to stay with him, perhaps hinting at some shady dealings.
Ye Chenfeng speculated in his heart.
"Fine, no problem. Be cautious when you go out; don’t let anyone discover you," Ye Chenfeng instructed.
"Divine King, you still don’t trust me?" Shi Buddha rolled his eyes at Ye Chenfeng.
"Alright, there’s something we need to do tonight, and I need both of you to cooperate," Ye Chenfeng said.
Shi Buddha’s eyes lit up: "Is it a big deal? If it’s not, I won’t go."
"It’s an expert!" Ye Chenfeng answered.
"Well, if even you call him an expert, his skills must be noteworthy. It’s best not to call that Ghost-faced God of Killing; otherwise, we’ll end up playing rock-paper-scissors to decide who takes action," Shi Buddha took a deep drag of his cigarette.
Ye Chenfeng shot him a glare: "You’re really the scum among monks."
Chu Corporation, the CEO’s office.
"Chief Chu, I’ve completed what you asked. Just waiting for your orders," Gu Jundie said to Chu Qingxue.
Chu Qingxue’s lips curved into a rare smile: "Good, those people should be reliable, right?"
Gu Jundie nodded: "They are absolutely reliable. They only care about money, so as long as the payment is there, everything will be fine."
"Good, then I can rest easy. Prepare yourself; we are visiting seven enterprises of the same chamber of commerce. Remember to bring the documents I’ve prepared," Chu Qingxue said.
Gu Jundie chuckled: "No problem, Chief Chu, I’m all set. The joint chamber won’t see our moves coming, and Huating International has already taken action."
"Hmm," Chu Qingxue nodded slightly, but a sharp glint flashed in her beautiful eyes, resembling a battlefield aura.
Indeed, in the business world, Chu Qingxue was a ruler exuding an air of deadly determination.
"Oh my, what’s Xue’xue plotting now?" At this moment, just-arrived Ye Chenfeng approached.
"None of your business," Chu Qingxue replied.
"How can it be none of my business? Chief Chu, you must be plotting something unspeakable. You’re always up to something shady," Ye Chenfeng teased.
Chu Qingxue glared at him: "Pah, you’re the shady one!"
"I want to know what your plan is. Why don’t you share it?" Ye Chenfeng asked.
Chu Qingxue thought for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she said: "Actually, Ye Chenfeng, there is something I need you to do. I’ll arrange it tomorrow. You’re free today."
"Alright, how can a scheme succeed without my involvement?" Ye Chenfeng grinned wickedly.
Afterward, Chu Qingxue and Gu Jundie mysteriously left, leaving Ye Chenfeng to his own devices.
"Let’s visit Ranran; it’s been a while since I saw her." Smiling, Ye Chenfeng headed to the Marketing Department.
The Marketing Department was full of Ye Chenfeng’s acquaintances, greeting him warmly as "Brother Ye."
After exchanging pleasantries, Ye Chenfeng went to Qiu Muran’s office.
Qiu Muran was busy in her office, handling call after call, looking very occupied.
Quietly, Ye Chenfeng entered the office. Preoccupied with her phone call, Qiu Muran didn’t notice his arrival.
Ye Chenfeng moved behind her and took a deep breath of the fragrance from her hair, mingled with her unique scent.
His hands naturally settled on her shoulders, causing Qiu Muran to tremble.
She immediately turned her head, and upon seeing it was Ye Chenfeng, she returned to her call, ignoring him.
Ye Chenfeng grinned and started to massage her shoulders.
"Mmm..." Perhaps he applied too much pressure, as Qiu Muran let out an involuntary, suggestive moan.
