Chapter 119 Poverty Limits My Imagination
Back at the villa entrance, it was already dark. Zhao Yunlu was just coming out when she saw Chen Cheng and the other man and smiled, saying, "The chairman was just about to ask me to come and have dinner with you."
Upon hearing the word "eat," Chen Cheng immediately became interested. After a busy afternoon, he was starving. Although the lunch on the plane was delicious, the portion was too small, and he only ate half full.
Although pleased, she remained calm and said, "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Miss Zhao!"
"No trouble at all, please follow me."
Chen Cheng and Bai Tou Weng followed Zhao Yunlu to the other side of the villa. Once inside, they discovered that it was an extremely large restaurant. No wonder Liao Wenchang's villa looked like the Chinese character "士" (shi), it turned out that there were such large outbuildings on both sides. This restaurant should be able to accommodate fifty people.
In the center of the spacious dining room stands a small oval-shaped table covered with an exquisite tablecloth with gold trim. The surrounding chairs are clearly made of high-end mahogany. Above, a huge three-tiered crystal chandelier hangs, the first tier alone probably five meters in diameter, emitting a bright yet soft light. On the other side of the dining room, there is a bar, where a servant-like person is pouring opened bottles of red wine into a decanter.
"Mr. Chen, you two have worked hard, please have a seat!"
After putting aside his resentment, Liao Wenchang began to respect them. Upon seeing the two of them, he personally stood up and spoke.
"Thank you, Mr. Liao!"
Chen Cheng spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, while Bai Tianweng nodded in acknowledgment.
Liao Jingjing stood up as well, not saying a word, but staring at Chen Cheng with her bright, watery eyes. She had changed into an evening gown; under the dazzling lights, the embellishments on the dress shimmered like flowing silver stars, sparkling with mesmerizing colors. The form-fitting cut accentuated her graceful figure, her slender waist seemingly impossible to encircle. Her long, silky hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, the slightly curled ends adding a touch of allure. Her exquisite makeup made her features even more defined; there was no trace of the embarrassment she had shown after leaving the morgue that afternoon!
She slightly raised her chin, as elegant and noble as a white swan. The straps of her evening gown were low, revealing her snow-white skin and proud cleavage, exuding a captivating charm!
Seeing that he only glanced at her before fixing his gaze on the food on the table, she felt both angry and disappointed. After returning home, she hid in her room until she came to her senses and remembered that tense and embarrassing scene: she had hugged him from head to toe, and he had finally pushed her away. However, she had to admit, his chest was incredibly warm; she had never felt such a sense of security before. What she didn't know was that this was in a moment of fear. Chen Cheng's Taoist aura could suppress the fear in those close to him, like grabbing a life raft after falling into water! It was because of this that Zhang Qian fell deeply and irrevocably in love with him.
After the group sat down, the servants began serving the dishes. Soon, Chen Cheng was disappointed. There were quite a few side dishes, but they were all very small: a few slices of salmon with wasabi, two small pieces of clam meat from some kind of shellfish, a few red peppers and asparagus, two small pieces of bread, and a dish of dark sauce, which he later learned was foie gras. Then a large red wine glass was brought out, filled with red wine about two fingers' width deep!
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Bai, welcome to Hong Kong."
Liao Wenchang raised his glass of red wine and swirled it.
"Thanks"!
The two raised their glasses at the same time, offering a toast from afar. Seeing that Liao Wenchang and Liao Jingjing had already started drinking, the two of them didn't think much of it and raised their glasses to drink in one gulp.
When they put it down, Chen Cheng and Bai Touweng were instantly embarrassed to see that Liao Wenchang and Liao Jingjing had only taken a small sip.
"Dad, don't rest, drink it all in one go!"
After saying that, Liao Jingjing also raised her wine glass and drank the red wine in one gulp!
Liao Wenchang smiled and, in turn, downed the remaining ten or so sips of wine in one go.
Neither Chen Cheng nor the old man with white hair had ever attended a banquet hosted by such a top-tier tycoon, so they were completely unfamiliar with these etiquette rules. Liao Jingjing was simply giving them a way out. If it weren't for her encounter with Chen Cheng that afternoon, she might have already started making sarcastic remarks!
Just as the maid was about to pour the wine, Chen Cheng stopped her, saying, "Mr. Liao, we have things to do tonight. People in our area drink in one sip at a time, emphasizing focus and concentration!"
"Haha, customs and dishes vary from place to place, I understand, I understand!"
Liao Wenchang smiled.
After eating some appetizers, the servants cleared them away and began serving other dishes.
"I knew it! Top-tier tycoons wouldn't be so stingy as to only serve a few simple dishes that wouldn't even fill the children's stomachs!"
Chen Cheng thought to himself.
As a result, when the servants removed the silver insulation cover, Chen Cheng was once again extremely disappointed.
On the large plate, there were two cube-sized slices of beef in the center, surrounded by a few florets of broccoli.
This is top-grade Wagyu beef imported from Japan. Of course, he didn't know that. Alas, poverty limits my imagination!
"Lying on the grass".
Watching the father and daughter pick up their knives and forks, Chen Cheng and the old man with white hair felt for the first time that eating a meal could be so exhausting. However, Chen Cheng seemed even more distressed, constantly watching his knife and fork while also feeling the occasional glances from Liao Jingjing across the table…
They ate their meal without tasting anything, and went to the courtyard to discuss the matter with Tang Long. Tang Long was now completely in awe of him. In the monitoring room, the police, including himself, had watched the video no less than thirty times, but they hadn't found anything. Chen Cheng, however, only watched it once and found the clues: the bat on Li Bo's neck and the black figure that rose into the air behind him the moment he fell to the ground. If Chen Cheng hadn't drawn the outline of the black figure with the tip of his pen, no one could have seen it even if they had pressed their faces against it!
"Brother Xiaocheng, I'll listen to you. You tell me how to plan tonight, and I'll do it!"
"Alright, Brother Tang, then I'll share my perspective. The enemy we're facing isn't necessarily a person. I'm sure you guessed that when you were watching the surveillance footage."
Although Tang Long was mentally prepared, he still shuddered when he heard Chen Cheng say it himself. He wasn't afraid of any number of people, but he was still a little scared when faced with these unknown things that came and went without a trace.
"But Brother Tang, don't be afraid. Brother Bai and I are here specifically to solve these things that can't be explained by science. Don't tell the brothers yet, so as not to cause them panic. With Brother Bai and me here, we will protect everyone in this manor and the dogs. Continue patrolling as usual tonight. Arrange two people in the villa hall, two people at the door of Mr. Liao's bedroom, and two people at the door of Ms. Liao's bedroom."
"Okay, Brother Xiaocheng, I'll listen to you and go arrange it right away!"
"Brother Bai, I don't want to go into the restaurant anymore. I'll be hungry if I go in. Could you go and get me a few silver knives and forks?"
"good"!
The old man with white hair turned and left.
"Ling'er, how do you set up that Four Directions Formation you mentioned?"
Chen Cheng had already consulted Ling'er that afternoon about how to set up a formation that could be entered but not sensed, and exited but not detected. Ling'er told him that a four-sided formation would suffice, making it easy to enter but difficult to exit!
"Silly, take the building in the middle as the center, meditate to form the shape of the Bagua, then find the four cardinal directions, namely Zhen, Li, Dui, and Kan, and the corresponding azimuth angles are due east, due south, due west, and due north. Just fill in the talisman, and after casting the incantation, it will be done!"
"Hehe, my Ling'er is so clever!"
"Pah! Who is your Ling'er?!"
"Hehe, you're not mine, so why are you always in my bracelet?"
"Hmph, if it weren't for wanting to leave that Qiankun Formation and not wanting to dissipate, do you think I would want to be with you?"Chapter 120: Taken Advantage Of Again
"Hehe, it's okay. In time, you and Xia Chan will be family!"
"Who's family with you? Your family is Zhang Qian. Don't think I don't know what you do with her. Just as he said, you really are a big pervert and a big bad guy!"
Chen Cheng blushed when he thought about how Ling'er could sense him when he was with Zhang Qian: "Isn't it normal for a couple to be affectionate? Also, you're not allowed to peek anymore!"
"I didn't peek; I sensed it, and the cicadas could sense it too!"
Alright! Chen Cheng slapped his forehead. There were two quirky female ghosts—no, goddesses, no, two young girls—watching him. Would this leave him with a psychological shadow that would affect the quality of his married life when he was intimate with Zhang Qian?
"Don't worry, although we can sense each other, we don't have a physical body, so we won't be affected!"
"Oh, that's good. Ling'er, will you be able to solidify into a physical form in the future?"
Chen Cheng grinned mischievously.
"Pah, get lost!"
From then on, Ling'er never spoke again.
"Chen Cheng, what did you remember? You're smiling so happily!"
Holy crap!
Chen Cheng was daydreaming when he was startled by the sudden sound.
Without even looking, you can tell it's that rich heiress who's both incompetent and loves to have fun, just like Zhang Qian.
"It's nothing, just thinking about some ridiculous things."
"I'm sorry, I got your clothes wet this afternoon. How about I buy you two more?"
Liao Jingjing changed out of her evening gown and into a refreshing casual outfit, looking exceptionally charming in the soft moonlight.
"No need, it's already dry, and I have a change of clothes!"
Liao Jingjing was no longer the spoiled girl she was in the afternoon. She lowered her arms, crossed her hands, and quietly looked at him.
"Why are you out here instead of resting? During this period, before the danger is over, try not to go out at night."
"Oh, I just ate a bit too much and wanted to get some exercise. Would you like to walk around the estate with me?"
"You still eat a lot? I'm not even half full!"
Chen Cheng muttered to himself, but said aloud, "Okay, I'll also familiarize myself with the terrain while I'm at it!"
Even if Liao Jingjing doesn't come, he still has to walk around according to the Bagua directions. Perfect, he can take care of both public and private matters!
The two walked along the paths of the manor, encountering bodyguards who hurried past with their heads down, only occasionally turning their heads to sniff the fierce pit bull.
"Are you a person with special abilities?"
"What"?
Chen Cheng was silently calculating the location in his mind and didn't hear what she said at all.
Liao Jingjing was furious. Was he really that distracted when he was with her? But then she thought to herself with a touch of arrogance that he must be excited. She, a beautiful and wealthy heiress, was the dream goddess of countless young men!
"Are you a person with special abilities from mainland China?"
"Ah, yes."
By this time, he had already calculated the location of the earthquake.
"So what can you do?"
"Calculate the direction!"
"What"?
"Oh, it means calculating the orientation of the Bagua formation!"
"What's the meaning"?
"Oh, right, it's about keeping people inside to avoid unnecessary disasters."
"Hmph, you're just trying to fool me!"
"Miss, why don't you go back first? We can go for a walk tomorrow. I really have something to do, and the mission is very important: to protect your father and you!"
"Protect me? Oh right, I forgot. Now I'm asking you to protect me!"
Liao Jingjing suddenly changed her style and became unruly.
"Young Miss, I'm not just protecting you, but everyone in the manor!"
"With so many people, what's the point of protecting them?"
"With so many people, wouldn't Li Bo have been drained dry like a corpse?"
He immediately regretted saying that.
Liao Jingjing suddenly remembered the mummified corpse in the morgue: a withered face, prominent cheekbones, wide-open eyes, and a bloodless body.
"ah"!
She screamed and quickly grabbed his arm with both arms!
"Miss, this is your home. There are so many people here. Don't be afraid. Let go of me immediately."
"It's not safe with so many people around, I'm scared!"
If Chen Cheng hadn't been supporting her brow with his other hand, she would have buried her face in his chest again.
"Hey, the bodyguards are patrolling. It wouldn't be good if they saw this!"
She took advantage of me again!
Chen Cheng felt extremely uncomfortable being hugged by her. This was the third time today that he had been attacked by her large breasts. Although it felt quite comfortable, it was also very uncomfortable.
Just as I finished speaking, I heard a dog barking and the sound of several people running over.
"Let go right now, someone's coming!"
Hearing the dog bark, Liao Jingjing realized what was happening and quickly let go of her hands.
"Who is it?"
The bodyguard who ran over was holding a flashlight in one hand and a gun in the other.
"It was me. I almost twisted my ankle just now."
Liao Jingjing shouted.
"Young Miss, I just heard a loud scream. I thought someone was in danger."
The four bodyguards ran over and, seeing that it was the young lady and Chen Cheng, were surprised but still put their weapons away.
"This security company seems quite capable; the bodyguards are all armed."
Chen Cheng thought to himself, but then he thought again, "I'm protecting Hong Kong's top tycoons, so ordinary bodyguards won't do!"
"Alright, that's all. I'll show Mr. Chen around the area. You guys go on patrol. Thanks for your hard work!"
"good".
The lead bodyguard waved his hand, and the group, along with the dog, turned and left.
Chen Cheng could occasionally make out a few words of what they were saying, but he didn't care. He wasn't going to live here anyway, and he would leave as soon as the mission was complete.
It's past 8 o'clock. We must set up the four-square formation before midnight. The time shown in the video of the incident is 1:30 a.m.
"Let me take you home!"
Chen Cheng stopped walking and turned around.
"Actually, I'm very bored. My dad has three wives, and I have three older brothers, one older sister, and one younger brother. Although my family is rich, I'm not happy at all!"
Liao Jingjing answered irrelevantly, continuing to walk forward.
Chen Cheng had no choice but to follow.
"My older brother, who is also my eldest brother, contracted a strange disease two years ago and has been living in the ICU of the hospital ever since. My third brother, who is also my older brother, broke his leg in a car accident two years ago and has only just recovered. My dad was afraid that my second brother would also get into trouble, so he sent him to the United Kingdom. Of the family, I am the only one left from the younger generation that year. Every day I wake up and this is how I live. It's so annoying, so boring, and so lonely!"
"Where are your sister and brother?"
"My sister married into the Zheng family in Singapore, and my brother is still young and studying abroad."
"You can go to the UK to visit your second brother for a few days to relax!"
"My second brother is back, and he's really into his fiancée now!"
"Given your family background, your second brother's fiancée must not be from an ordinary family either."
Chen Cheng asked.
"Yes, her family is in the cargo ship business, but they immigrated overseas and then came back to run the family business again!"
Chen Cheng had a sudden thought and summarized this information. Perhaps Liao Wenchang only saw the obvious aspects.
As Chen Cheng listened to Liao Jingjing's story, the two strolled through the manor like friends. After walking for thirty or forty minutes, they returned to the front of the main villa.
"Go back and get some rest."
"Are you not in danger?"
"Don't worry, I have special abilities!"
Chen Cheng smiled.
"I told you so much about myself tonight, I want to hear your story tomorrow, otherwise I'll keep bothering you every day!"
After Liao Jingjing finished speaking, she made a face at him and then ran into the villa with cheerful steps. Perhaps this was because she had opened up and felt relieved.
Chen Cheng glanced at the crescent moon in the night sky; it was time to set up the formation!Chapter 121 Feint to the East, Attack in the West
"Your calamity has come again!"
The old man's voice rang out from behind Chen Cheng.
"Sigh, being too outstanding is definitely not a good thing!"
"Show off, here are four silver knives and forks!"
Taking the knife and fork handed to him, Chen Cheng asked with a smile, "Brother Bai, do you have a woman?"
"roll,,"
The old man blushed, turned around, and left.
"Hahaha"!
Chen Cheng's laughter came from behind.
Following Ling'er's instructions, Chen Cheng wrapped the knife and fork in purple talismans in the four directions of Zhen, Li, Dui, and Kan, then inserted them into the ground. He then came to the center of the Bagua formation, put his hands together, crossed three fingers, and tightly interlocked his thumb and forefinger. He silently recited the incantation that Ling'er had taught him, and after a moment, he shouted in a low voice: "Rise!"
A golden arc rose from each of the four cardinal directions of the manor, converging to form an inverted bowl-shaped golden net that covered the entire manor.
Thus, a simple and effective four-directional formation was formed. No matter who it was, whether human or ghost, they could easily break in, and Chen Cheng could detect them immediately! Since the suppressing object was just a talisman, the formation would dissipate in seven days at most. If the four suppressing objects were used—a Bagua mirror, a soul-collecting bottle, a demon-revealing mirror, and a peach wood sword—the formation would not dissipate for ten years and would become even more powerful!
Chen Cheng silently prayed that the monster would arrive soon, looking forward to fighting it, increasing his mental power, and returning to Xijing as soon as possible!
Around 1 a.m., in a quiet villa in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, the courtyard was brightly lit and surrounded by at least a few dozen Hong Kong police officers, each armed and alert, watching their surroundings. The people being protected in the villa were not government officials or dignitaries, but the family members of Liao Wenchang, one of Hong Kong's top ten richest men!
In the words of their Chief Superintendent, Mr. Liao pays so much tax every year that it can support half of the police force. Therefore, when the Liao family got into trouble, the Chief Superintendent took it very seriously and personally deployed officers to guard the area!
"Ninth Brother, everything is normal in the west, over!"
"Ninth Brother, everything is normal in the south, over!"
,,,,
Every five minutes, the units in all directions report to the central base to ensure normal operations!
"Received. Invoke the gods and remain vigilant. Mr. Liao said that if this matter passes, he will donate twenty new police cars to our Hong Kong Police Station. At that time, our Yuen Long Police Station will receive at least five or six new cars."
"Old Nine, it's worth staying up all night on guard duty just to get a new police car!"
The team of twelve police officers on the east side of the villa paced back and forth, watching the area in front of them. In a tree they couldn't see, a bat was hanging upside down from a branch, its eyes bloodshot as it stared at a window on the second floor of the villa!
On the roof of the villa, four snipers lay prone in four different positions, occasionally scanning the surroundings with high-powered scopes. As a master in Hong Kong once said, daytime is not a big deal, but nighttime is the most dangerous time!
At this moment, the bat hanging upside down from the tree branch broke free, spread its wings and flew up, circling the villa twice. The police officers paid no attention to the birds or bats in the sky, but focused intently on their surroundings.
The bat flew lower and lower, rushing towards the sniper on the westernmost side of the rooftop. When it was still three or four meters from the ground, it paused in mid-air. Suddenly, the bat transformed into a tall, Western-looking man. His face was as pale as paper, his eyes were sunken, and his two blood-red pupils gleamed with an eerie light, like burning flames, sending chills down one's spine. His lips were scarlet and slightly upturned, revealing four long, thin canine teeth in a cruel smile. They were sharp as knives and gleamed coldly in the moonlight. His ears were pointed and perked up like a wolfhound's. He reached out and wiped the corner of his mouth. His fingers were long and sharp, like daggers. He wore an old-fashioned Western tailcoat, and his entire body was shrouded in a layer of black mist, obscuring his true face. Only a powerful aura of evil emanated from him.
The four snipers lay prone on the ground, completely unaware of the impending danger. The monster floated in the air, drifted above the sniper in the west corner, and slowly descended vertically, like a light shadow, covering the sniper's entire body.
He was intently scanning with an 8x scope when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. Before he could react, the monster's limbs and entire body enveloped him tightly, its sharp canines biting deep into the carotid artery in his neck. He opened his mouth wide, silently gasping for breath, his wide eyes still not knowing what happened. His once full, collagen-rich face rapidly shrank and sunken before his very eyes, until he became a completely withered, dried-up corpse!
After sucking the blood, the monster leaped up and suddenly transformed into a bat. It circled down the rooftop on the west side and stopped in front of the second-floor window. It then transformed back into its monster form, hanging upside down on the windowsill, its eyes fixed on the young man in his twenties lying on the bed inside the room.
Extending its sharp claws, it slowly circled the glass. If it weren't for bulletproof glass, it would have already slashed a hole and flown inside like a bat. The ear-piercing sound of slicing glass echoed as its claws spun. If it could get inside, it could drain the young man into a dried-up corpse in thirty seconds and then leave this damned East. The East was a taboo for vampires like them. These past two days, it had felt uneasy. If it weren't for the fear of being cursed by the oath, it would have already fled back!
It's almost done. The bulletproof glass has almost completed its mission. Maybe it can fly back home tonight after finishing its mission!
Just as the bulletproof glass was less than a centimeter away from completing its rotation, the alarm suddenly went off. It turned out that Lao Jiu, who was in charge of the central area of the villa, was calling for the snipers on the roof. No one responded. The sniper on the east side went up to check and was instantly terrified. His comrade, who had been alive just moments before, was now lying on the ground, mouth wide open, eyes almost popping out, face withered and bloodless, already a dried-up corpse!
Meanwhile, police officers guarding the villa quickly rushed into each room, disregarding men, women, and children, to provide close protection to those inside.
Amidst the chaos at the scene, no one saw a bat circle twice in the air before flying towards the distant mountains...
At eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Cheng and Bai Tou Weng followed Liao Wenchang and rushed towards Yuen Long. Unexpectedly, the monster did not go to Liao's house, but attacked the police station safe house, which was dozens of kilometers away.
When the group arrived, the police had already cordoned off the scene. More than a dozen armored vehicles and police cars with flashing lights were parked on the side of the road, and armed police officers stood around the villa. Inside the villa, Liao Wenchang's first wife, Mu Lanxin, second wife, Chen Xi, and third wife, Bao Cailu, all looked terrified. His second son, Liao Ziqiang, and third son, Liao Zili, were also sitting on the sofa with pale faces!
Liao Wenchang, his face grim, tried to enter the villa, but was stopped by a police officer at the door who said, "Mr. Liao, the police and forensic experts are collecting evidence. You cannot enter now!"
"Why can't I go in? My wife and children are inside. They almost lost their lives under your protection. I don't even have the right to go in and take a look?"
An inspector stepped forward and said, "Mr. Liao, please cooperate. We also want to catch the murderer as soon as possible. In order to protect your family, one of our officers also sacrificed his life. Like Li Bo, he was sucked dry and turned into a dried corpse!"Chapter 122 Chen Cheng's Speculation
Liao Wenchang was taken aback, not expecting that another person had died, also drained of their life force. He turned to look at Chen Cheng, while Liao Jingjing quietly translated for him in Mandarin.
"Mr. Liao, may I speak to you in private?"
Liao Wenchang's heart stirred, and he followed Chen Cheng to the side. Liao Jingjing also wanted to come along, but Chen Cheng said, "Miss Liao, I need to have a word with your father alone. This may concern the fate of your Liao family!"
"Jingjing, wait here."
Although Liao Jingjing also wanted to know what Chen Cheng was going to say, her father had already spoken, so she could only stomp her foot in frustration and turn her face away.
"Mr. Chen, what do you want to tell me?"
"Mr. Liao, don't you find this strange?"
"What"?
"The monster doesn't seem to be targeting the head of your Liao family, that is, you, but rather the second generation of your Liao family!"
"ah"?
Liao Wenchang was taken aback.
How do you know this?
"I can't say for now, because this is just my intuition and there's no concrete evidence. But I believe the truth will surface soon. However, I only ask for one thing..."
What are your requirements?
"Don't spread the word about me and the old man with white hair, lest we alert him. I want to catch this monster myself!"
Chen Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "If they really are vampires, then it's like a Western monster invasion, just like a foreign army entering China. Besides, they even killed two Hong Kongers!"
"Okay, I promise you!"
"This is no small matter. If we can't resolve it this time, there will definitely be a next time. This time it was a monster, but next time it might be some kind of ghost! So, not only can your wives not tell, but your sons must not tell either. You should also remind Miss Liao about it later!"
"hiss"!
Liao Wenchang gasped: "You mean you're afraid there's a traitor inside?"
"Mr. Liao, it's best to be careful until things become clearer. How could a monster have found this place? And with such a large fortune..."
Liao Wenchang gasped again. He had been blinded by concern; could someone who could lead such a large family business be mediocre? Chen Cheng's words had immediately jolted him awake! If that were truly the case, it would be like the princes of the past, killing each other for the throne…
"Okay, I promise you, and I beg you, you must get to the bottom of this matter!"
"Once the monster is caught, all the evil spirits and monsters that come with it will surface!"
"well"!
Chen Cheng leaned closer and whispered a few words in his ear, only to see Liao Wenchang nodding hurriedly!
This is a huge matter, so huge that it concerns the life and death of the Liao Group!
The two walked back to the edge of the villa. At this moment, two police officers carried a body covered with a white sheet out of the yard. Chen Cheng stepped forward and said, "Can I see the body of the deceased?"
The inspector could understand Mandarin, and seeing Liao Wenchang's gloomy face, he waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment!"
The two police officers stopped and gently placed the stretcher on the ground.
Chen Cheng stepped forward and removed the white cloth from the head. The wounds on the deceased's face, eyes, and neck were exactly the same as those on Li Bo's body!
Liao Jingjing also wanted to go forward, but then she stopped, biting her lip to hold back.
"dad"!
"master,,"!
Three women of different ages and two young men of similar age came out of the villa and called out.
"You've been frightened. Get in the car and let's go home!"
"Sir, is the house safe?"
Third wife Bao Cailu said that she is the youngest of the three women, only in her early thirties. Liao Wenchang's youngest son is only six years old and is currently studying at Jia Na University. Bao Cailu's older brother, sister and parents are also there to accompany him!
"Is this place safe?"
Liao Wenchang said with a gloomy face.
Bao Cailu lowered her head and dared not speak anymore.
Seeing everyone come out, Chen Cheng walked towards the villa. Bai Tou Weng followed him inside. Liao Jingjing was about to follow when Liao Wenchang stopped her. She could only pout and get into a car with her mother, Mu Lanxin.
Chen Cheng and the old man with white hair split up to check several rooms. Just as they reached the second floor, they heard the old man with white hair calling him. Chen Cheng quickly went in and saw the old man with white hair pointing to the deep scratches on the window and asking, "What made these scratches?"
Chen Cheng examined it carefully and said, "Fingernails!"
"Holy crap, what kind of nails are so powerful? This is bulletproof glass. I can smash it with one punch. You can't scratch it like this with your nails."
"We're facing the same kind of zombies as those in China, and they're even a level above the most powerful flying zombies!"
Are you confident?
"With you, little steel man, by my side, what am I afraid of?"
Chen Cheng smiled.
"Hehe, I wonder if his fingernails can scratch my skin!"
The old man with white hair also chuckled.
"Don't worry, with the two of us working together, we can beat even a Transformer into a piece of scrap metal!"
As Chen Cheng spoke, he took out his phone and took a picture of the glass.
After going downstairs, Chen Cheng pointed to a room on the second floor and asked Liao Wenchang to quietly ask the police officers who had been in the villa the night before. The answer he received was that it was the room of Liao Wenchang's third son, Liao Zili.
Chen Cheng already understood, and calmly followed the others into the car.
Back at the Liao family manor, everyone was in a bad mood, their hearts filled with gloom. Upon seeing Chen Cheng and the old man with white hair, the second son, Liao Ziqiang, asked, "Dad, who are these two?"
"Things have been rather turbulent lately. These two are martial arts masters I invited from the capital to protect your sister."
Liao Wenchang said calmly.
Liao Jingjing didn't say anything, presumably her father had already given her instructions.
"Oh, yes, my little sister is a delicate girl, so she needs to hire two strong bodyguards!"
Everyone spent the day in a worried atmosphere. Chen Cheng and his companion did not go to the villa's restaurant for lunch and dinner, but ate with Tang Long and the others. Although it was not as exquisite as the restaurant in the villa, it was more affordable, and Chen Cheng was able to eat his fill this time.
The Liao family manor has dozens of armed bodyguards, so there aren't that many police officers outside the manor. There are only five or six police cars and a dozen or so police officers, but they don't dare to separate and are all crammed into the cars!
After dinner, Liao Wenchang told everyone to go back to their rooms, but he called Chen Cheng over alone.
"Xiao Cheng, if the monster comes tonight, how confident are you in taking him down?"
That "Xiao Cheng" showed that he was completely considered one of his own.
"One hundred percent, we must ensure he never returns!"
"Can I see him?"
"It's still unknown whether he will disappear, but in the video of Li Bo's murder, ordinary people cannot see him!"
"Then you can see?"
"certainly"!
"Can I see it too? I want to know what kind of monster is causing so much trouble in my home!"
"Dad, I want to watch it too!"
Liao Jingjing suddenly pushed the door open and came in.
"Why don't you go back to your room?"
"Dad, I can't sleep. Can I stay with you?"
Liao Wenchang sighed and looked at Chen Cheng.
"If you really want to see it, I can help you, but I'm not responsible for any side effects!"
After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he looked at Liao Jingjing.
The latter was taken aback at first, then said, "I have my father with me, so I'm not afraid. Besides, I have so many bodyguards!"
"Alright, Mr. Liao, tonight I'll show you the profound and extensive Taoist arts of our Chinese civilization!"
"Very good"!
Liao Jingjing jumped up and down with joy. If her dad hadn't been there, she would have loved to go up and give him a hug!Chapter 123 A Narrow Capture of a Vampire
Chen Cheng had already opened the Yin Eyes of the old man with white hair, and then he used the same method to open the Yin Eyes of Liao Wenchang and his daughter. When they saw the talisman in Chen Cheng's hand spontaneously combust without wind, the two of them were extremely surprised.
But after opening their Yin Eyes, they were almost speechless when they saw the golden array in the courtyard. When they learned that it was Chen Cheng who had set up the array, the father and daughter realized just how capable the young man in front of them was. No wonder the capital city sent them here; he truly had real skills.
Since entering his room, Liao Ziqiang had been anxious and restless. He wanted to take out his phone to play for a while, but found that the phone had no signal. He asked the bodyguard at the door, who said that the home network had been completely paralyzed after the last incident and had not yet been repaired!
Helpless, he could only pick up the landline phone in the room and talk to his mother, Chen west, for a while before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Chen west made another call, said a few words, and then hung up.
At two in the morning, the bodyguards, seemingly exhausted from working late, stood listlessly chatting on the perimeter. A bat circled the manor a few times before slowly landing near a window on the east side of the second floor. Instantly, it transformed into a vampire in a tuxedo. Looking through the glass at the sleeping young man inside, it extended its sharp claws and slowly sliced open the windowpane. The glass wasn't bulletproof tonight; it easily created a palm-sized hole. Gently placing the glass on the windowsill, it leaped down, transforming back into a bat. It circled once, flew into the room, and floated lightly to the floor, transforming back into a human. Looking at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, a chilling smile appeared on its lips. Its body slowly floated, then hovered above the bed, covering the human-shaped silhouette under the blanket. It reached out and gently lifted the blanket from top to bottom, revealing four fangs. When it revealed the young man's face, it suddenly froze. This wasn't the target. Had it made a mistake?
Suddenly, the person lying down abruptly opened his eyes, a ghostly blue light flashing within them! He grinned wickedly at him, then reached out and pressed a purple talisman onto his chest!
The vampire was shocked, feeling an incomparably powerful force send it flying!
"Leaning Tower, you've fallen for their trap!"
He immediately transformed into a bat and flew towards the hole in the glass.
Chen Cheng, lying on the bed, sprang up and chased after the bat through the broken window. Before he even arrived, two burning talismans shot towards the fleeing bat, but he dodged them both and frantically flapped his wings to fly upwards!
Chen Cheng jumped from the second floor, rolled on the ground, and stood up.
At this moment, all the lights in the villa turned on, and Tang Long shone a large spotlight on the fleeing bats. However, just as they flew into the air, they triggered the array. With a "crack," the array net emitted lightning, knocking the bats back!
It squeaked twice and flew in another direction, but without exception, it was bounced back!
At the window on the third floor, Liao Wenchang and Liao Jingjing watched everything with excitement, including the sparks from the counterattack of the formation network, which were clearly visible under Yin's eyes!
The bat, which had failed to escape after being hit three times, became fierce and plummeted from the sky. In mid-air, it transformed into a vampire and stretched out its sharp claws to grab Chen Cheng!
"court death"!
The old man with white hair jumped down from the tree where he was hiding, removed the concealment talisman, and rushed up with a money sword. Chen Cheng also casually shot out two talismans!
The vampire barely dodged the two talismans before being struck in the back by the old man's money sword. He let out a wild roar, seemingly managing to block the old man's attack! However, it did force him back two steps.
"Five Thunder Palms"!
A golden handprint shot towards him, impossible to dodge. He suddenly turned around and took the blow with his back. Although it didn't shatter him, it sent him flying more than ten meters away and he fell to the ground, but he quickly flew up again.
Seeing him swinging his tuxedo, Chen Cheng suddenly realized: "His clothes are a protective shield. If we just tear off his clothes, it will be easy to subdue him!"
But he was floating several meters in the air, out of reach.
Chen Cheng clasped his hands together, his thumb and forefinger pressed tightly together, silently chanted a spell, and then pointed at the vampire and shouted: "Lightning Spell!"
Suddenly, a rumble of thunder came from the sky, followed by two bolts of lightning striking down from above. With a "crack," the lightning struck his shoulders from the left and right. No matter how strong his clothes were, they could not withstand the lightning strike from the Thunder God. He fell from the sky, staggered to his feet after the fall, and seemed to want to fly away.
"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"
After reciting the Taoist Nine True Words and forming the hand seals, the vampire pushed his hands forward, and a golden palm bearing the seals struck him solidly, sending him flying more than ten meters away. The white-haired old man quickly rushed over, lifted him up, grabbed his collar with one hand, and slammed him to the ground with the other. With a "whoosh," the old man ripped off his tuxedo using the momentum!
Chen Cheng also ran forward and pierced his right collarbone with his peach wood sword, pinning him firmly to the ground!
The vampire writhed and roared wildly, and soon the white-haired old man pierced his left shoulder blade with his money sword, pinning it to the ground!
Suddenly, a huge bat phantom flew down from the sky, baring its sharp teeth and claws, and attacked Chen Cheng and Bai Tou Weng. Both of them were gripping their sword hilts tightly, and it was too late to free their hands!
This scene terrified Liao Wenchang and Liao Jingjing, who both turned pale. Liao Jingjing covered her mouth in horror to stop herself from screaming!
As Chen Cheng chanted the incantation, he stretched out his hands. With a deafening roar, a golden phantom of a Qilin beast rose from behind Chen Cheng and pounced on the giant black bat. The bat was not a protective divine beast, but an emergency spell. It was quickly torn to shreds by the protective divine beast Qilin!
The phantom of the Qilin roared again at the sky, then flew behind Chen Cheng and disappeared!
At this moment, the vampire stopped struggling, the four canine teeth at the corners of its mouth disappeared, and its eyes returned to brown from blood red. Without the tuxedo, it lost its source of power, and both of its shoulder blades were pierced by magical artifacts, pinning it firmly to the ground.
Chen Cheng's continuous battles had almost exhausted all his mental energy.
The sounds of fighting and shouting had already alerted the Liao family members in the villa. They stood in fear by the window watching the scene. Those who did not have the ability to see ghosts did not see the golden array or the golden handprints that Chen Cheng had made, nor could they see the phantoms of bats and Qilin beasts. They only saw Chen Cheng and his companion pinning a man to the ground with a sword!
At this moment, Liao Wenchang and Liao Jingjing walked out of the villa accompanied by a number of bodyguards. Their three wives and two sons were also among them. Everyone looked on with surprise and uncertainty. Chen Cheng only glanced at them before looking away.
"Xiao Cheng, he is the murderer?"
"Yes, he is the vampire who killed Li Bo, the police, and the two dogs, but we exposed him to his true form!"
"Miss Liao, ask him in the Eagle Language where he comes from and why he wants to harm the Liao family."
After Chen Cheng finished speaking, he glanced at the crowd again, and then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Who are you? Where do you come from? Why are you trying to harm us?"
Liao Jingjing asked in the hawk language.
The vampire on the ground just stared at the night sky in pain and indifference, saying nothing!
"Hmph, you think you can get away with just keeping quiet? We Chinese have plenty of tricks up our sleeves!"
Liao Jingjing translated her words to the vampire on the ground, and his body trembled slightly.
Chen Cheng took out a soul-stabilizing needle and stabbed it into his chest with a "whoosh," causing him to open his mouth and scream in pain!
"Take him to the security room, and I'll make him confess!"Chapter 124 The Thief Revealed
Chen Cheng and the old man with white hair each drew their swords and dragged him up from the ground. Even if he wasn't injured, without the power of the tuxedo, he wouldn't be a match for either of these two experts. Besides, he now had a Soul-Stabilizing Needle piercing his chest!
The old man with white hair picked him up, and Tang Long mustered his courage to cuff his hands behind his back with iron handcuffs. Surrounded by several bodyguards, he escorted him to the bodyguards' duty room!
"Go back to your rooms and stay there!"
Liao Wenchang spoke to his wife and children with a gloomy face.
As soon as he spoke, everyone headed towards the villa.
"You stand guard outside the door and protect their safety!"
Liao Wenchang then spoke to the remaining dozen or so bodyguards, and then followed Chen Cheng toward the duty room. Liao Jingjing wanted to take her father's arm and go with him, but he refused and told her to go back to her room. Liao Jingjing had no choice but to leave with a pout.
Chen Cheng waited for Liao Wenchang to step forward, then changed direction and followed Tang Long toward the monitoring room.
When the staff member saw the captain and the boss enter, he hurriedly stood up. He had also witnessed everything and was still trembling slightly. He wasn't a bodyguard, just a technician.
"You can go back now, I'll take over tonight!"
"Yes, yes."
The two staff members hurriedly went out.
Tang Long remained silent, working on the computer. After a moment, he walked over to Liao Wenchang and said, "Boss, I'm going out for my shift!"
Seeing Liao Wenchang nod, he turned around and walked out, closing the door behind him. Only Liao Wenchang and Chen Cheng remained in the room!
Inside the main villa, Liao Ziqiang nervously went up to the second floor and, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, immediately followed Chen west into her room!
"Mom, what are we going to do? If James confesses, Dad will definitely trace it back to the Pan family, and then it will lead back to us..."
Liao Ziqiang dared not think any further, plopped down on the sofa, and fiercely pulled his hair with both hands!
Chen west's expression also changed slightly: "Qiang'er, it's no use regretting it now. We did all this for you, didn't we? Who knew that this old guy would bring two experts from the mainland, and we didn't even know it. Don't panic, James might not confess. I'll contact Pan Xiong first to give him a heads-up and see if we can make amends!"
After saying that, he sat down on the sofa, picked up the landline, and dialed a number.
"Brother Xiong, this is bad! We've fallen into a trap! James has already been taken down by the two experts that old man Liao Wenchang brought from the mainland. What are we going to do now?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the microphone, then a slightly hoarse voice came through: "What's going on? Didn't you guys know beforehand?"
"If I had known I would still have given Jack the signal tonight, would I? Right now, those two experts and the old guy are interrogating James. I'm afraid it might implicate you and me!"
"Calm down. James, that vampire, only knows Jack, not us. I'll arrange for Jack to leave Hong Kong soon. It seems the third son of the Liao family isn't going to die for now. If it doesn't work, I'll have Meizhen put some Gu worms on him too, so he'll be half-dead in the hospital like the eldest. As for the fourth son, I'd say we should eliminate him completely, but you're too soft-hearted. Sigh, never mind. As long as we can get Ziqiang into power, that's fine!"
"It's good that they can't find out about us. I guess the old man suspects the Lai family. The fourth son is too young. Besides, I have a good relationship with Cailu. He can't affect Ziqiang's rise to power. Xiong-ge, if we kill that old man, can we be together?"
"If Ziqiang and Xiuyan are together, won't we be a family?"
"That's not what I meant, you know!"
"Xixi, let's talk about this later. Let's help Ziqiang get ahead first, then merge the Pan and Liao groups. Who in Hong Kong can stand against us then?"
"Sigh, fine!"
"Alright, let's try to minimize contact lately. Liao Wenchang is like a frightened bird right now, he'll definitely be on guard!"
Liao Ziqiang breathed a long sigh of relief when his mother said that even if James confessed, the investigation wouldn't trace it back to him.
In the monitoring room, Chen Cheng supported Liao Wenchang, whose body was trembling violently. The two of them had seen and heard everything that had just happened in Chen west's room, including the content of the other party's phone call.
This was Chen Cheng's scheme. In the morning in Yuen Long, he had Liao Wenchang arrange for Tang Long to install miniature surveillance cameras and eavesdropping devices in Chen Xi and Liao Ziqiang's bedrooms and landline phones. He also used a signal jammer to cut off the manor's network, making it impossible to contact the outside world via computer or mobile phone.
So when Chen west made the first call that night to tell the other party about Liao Zili's room, it was already under surveillance. Liao Wenchang just didn't know it at the time. Now, after hearing these conversations, which included betrayal, murder, and the threat to take over the business empire he had worked so hard to build, he couldn't help but tremble all over and turn pale!
"Mr. Liao, don't get agitated. Now that we've uncovered the traitor, everything is still under our control."
Chen Cheng offered his advice.
"Ah, yes! Thank you, Xiao Cheng. If it weren't for you, our Liao family would have been destroyed by these beasts in human skin! But, what was that giant bat just now?"
"It should be a phantom spell of James, used to save his life in critical moments. But let's not talk about that now. You should use your connections to notify the sea routes and customs to thoroughly investigate a foreigner named Jack. Once he gets the news, he will definitely run away immediately. Even if he doesn't want to run, someone will force him to run, after all, they know who you are and how much influence you have in Hong Kong!"
"Yes, I was so angry I lost my mind. If I catch him, I can peel back the layers one by one. I will make them pay a bloody price! That Pan guy wants to mess with me, so I will deal with him to the death!"
The Pan family is Liao Ziqiang's future father-in-law's family. Since Liao Ziqiang didn't mention it, Chen Cheng naturally wouldn't gossip about these things.
After saying goodbye to Liao Wenchang, Chen Cheng arrived at the duty room. At this moment, the vampire, James, was already on the verge of death. This guy was indeed stubborn and refused to say anything.
Chen Cheng saw one of the bodyguards interrogating him in English, so he walked up to him and said, "Mr. James, Jack has sold you out to get his freedom. Surprised?"
"Translate it to him!"
The bodyguard relayed Chen Cheng's words in Eagle Language.
James's lifeless eyes suddenly widened, his face filled with disbelief, and then he rattled off a string of words in English.
"He said it was impossible, Jack wouldn't betray him!"
"How am I supposed to know your name is James if Jack doesn't tell me?"
After hearing the translation, James was speechless, and then closed his eyes as if he had given up.
"You've got some nerve, daring to run wild on our Chinese territory. Our Taoist sect has a technique called Soul Extraction. Everyone has three souls and six spirits, including you. If you don't cooperate, I'll extract one of your souls, and you'll be in a dazed and confused state. You'll confess whatever I ask you. Then I'll turn you into a vampire specimen and send you on a world tour. I'm sure your family and friends will be very happy to see you!"
The bodyguard quickly translated these words word for word.
Upon hearing this, James's face first turned angry and then terrified. Just as he was about to yell "Fuck!", the talisman in Chen Cheng's hand spontaneously combusted without wind and approached his brow!
James completely broke down, yelling in a bird language.
"He said he would tell you whatever you asked, but don't turn him into a specimen, and definitely don't send him on a world tour!"
Chen Cheng chuckled: "It's done!"
Then, he shot the still-burning talisman at the tailcoat on the ground, and the garment instantly turned to ashes...
James had only one thought: despair!Chapter 125 Interrogation of the Vampire
"I'm asking you, what country are you from?"
"The Eagles!"
"Isn't Eagleland just Eagle Country?"
"These involve historical disputes. Eagle was once an independent country, but later it was incorporated into the United Kingdom of Eagles!"
"Are there many of you vampires? How do you survive?"
"The legitimate vampire families are the Earl of Glenmost and the Earl of Felton. They live like normal people, occasionally drinking animal blood or cow blood."
"Orthodox? There are also unorthodox ones?"
"The unorthodox ones are all vampires developed by the Earl of Most or the Earl of Felton, like me!"
Why develop in this way?
"Actually, we unorthodox vampires are their slaves, because orthodox vampire families are restrained by the Western Church, and we can do some shady things for them!"
"How many vampires are there like you?"
"It could be a few hundred, or even a thousand. We don't know for sure. Without wearing tuxedos, we're just ordinary people, but we still don't dare to live in the sun because we've been injected with the blood of orthodox vampires!"
"How can your tuxedos have such power?"
"These powers are due to the blessings bestowed by two orthodox vampire counts with their own blood and spells!"
"Aren't you bound by the Vatican?"
"Of course we are restricted, but we don't have a fixed place to live, and we can't show our faces during the day. We can only do some shady things to earn money to make a living!"
"One last question, what is your relationship with Jack?"
"He was like my agent. We had a blood pact. He helped me find work everywhere, and I gave him money in return!"
The bodyguard was fluent in hawksmanship and quickly translated their conversation.
"Brother Tang, find a place to detain him first. Give him some food and water so he won't starve. Don't worry, we pierced his shoulder blades and we have a soul-stabilizing needle in his chest. Without the protection of the tuxedo, he's not in any danger! We'll talk about it again once this matter is completely resolved!"
"Okay, Brother Cheng!"
Tang Long admired him to the point of worship, so he obeyed Chen Cheng's every word unconditionally.
It was already four in the morning, and dawn would break soon. Chen Cheng sat down alone in the pavilion of the manor, took out a cigarette, lit it, and started smoking. The mission with the old man was over; those messy affairs were the Liao and Pan families' business, and had nothing to do with him anymore!
It seems that no country in the world is at peace. Southeast Asia has black wizards, Japan has sorcerers, and now the West has vampires. There seem to be many other ghostly things that we don't know about. We must work hard to cultivate our spiritual power, capture ghosts and subdue demons to improve our strength. That is the right way!
Liao Wenchang didn't sleep all night. Extreme resentment and revenge plans were driving him crazy. His eldest son, Liao Zizu, had been lying in the ICU for years because he had been poisoned by Pan Xiong's younger sister, Pan Meizhen. His third son, Liao Zili, was probably also responsible for his car accident. They had wiped out all the brothers and then caused their own accidental death so that his second son, Liao Ziqiang, could take over. What a vicious plan! Today, I'll show you my performance!
"Chen, Brother Cheng, Brother Cheng!"
Chen Cheng opened his eyes and realized that he had fallen asleep against the stone pillar. No wonder, he hadn't rested well these past few days in Hong Kong and had used up a lot of mental energy last night, so he was feeling a bit tired.
Upon seeing Chen Cheng open his eyes, Liao Jingjing said softly, "Brother Cheng, Dad wants you to have breakfast!"
"So early?"
Chen Cheng took out his phone and glanced at it.
"I don't know what's wrong with Dad. Before seven o'clock, he had the housekeeper wake everyone up for breakfast and even asked me to find you."
Chen Cheng didn't want to get involved in this mess, but since things had come to this point, he could only muster his spirits, stand up, and prepare to go to the main building villa.
"Brother Cheng, are you going back to the capital after your mission is over?"
"Yes, I'm going to say goodbye to your father today!"
"Oh! Can't you stay here for a couple more days?"
"Even if we stay for another ten days, we'll still have to go back."
"If, if you, you're willing, I'll tell my dad you can stay here forever!"
After Liao Jingjing finished speaking hesitantly, her face was already flushed.
"Holy crap, could she have developed a phobia-dependent disorder like Zhang Qian?"
Chen Cheng thought to himself, but said aloud, "How can that be? I am a special personnel in the capital and cannot stay in one place for long. Besides, my lover is there too!"
"You're married?"
Liao Jingjing asked in surprise.
"Yes, a man as outstanding and handsome as me would have been reserved long ago!"
Chen Cheng said jokingly.
Liao Jingjing didn't speak, but silently bit her lip.
"Alright, let's go. I'm starving after working late last night!"
Liao Jingjing didn't say anything, and walked towards the villa with him, her mind preoccupied.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, Liao Wenchang greeted him, and Chen Cheng responded. He glanced around and saw that all of Liao's family members were there, with milk, sandwiches, butter, and other food on their plates.
After Chen Cheng sat down, Liao Wenchang said, "Cheng, I have good news for you. The Jack that James mentioned has been caught!"
With a "clatter," Liao Ziqiang's hand holding the spoon trembled, and the spoon fell onto the plate.
Liao Wenchang ignored these subtle actions and calmly said, "Last night, the manor's radio detected two separate calls made to the outside world via landline!"
To hide his nervousness, Chen west, who was about to drink the milk, also trembled upon hearing this, causing the cup to fall and spill milk all over the table!
"Chen west, Liao Ziqiang, do you have anything to say?"
"master",,
"Dad, it's me..."
Chen west and Liao Ziqiang opened their mouths, but couldn't say anything.
"Master, what's wrong? Is there something you need?"
Liao Jingjing's biological mother, who is also Liao Wenchang's first wife, Mu Lanxin, spoke up.
"Xiao Cheng, can you help remove the Gu worms from Zuer's body?"
Liao Wenchang did not answer Mu Lanxin, but looked at Chen Cheng. His words made everyone present uneasy.
"Master, are you saying that Zuer has been poisoned by a Gu worm?"
"Dad, my older brother doesn't have a strange illness?"
Mulan Xin and Liao Jingjing asked questions at the same time.
"Master, what exactly happened?"
Even his youngest wife, Bao Cailu, asked.
Chen Xi and Liao Ziqiang began to tremble. It was all over! It seemed Liao Wenchang knew everything!
Seeing that he didn't speak but just looked at him, Chen Cheng said, "Mr. Liao, I don't know much about Gu poison. Whoever poisoned the Gu should be able to deal with it!"
"Hmph, then we'll have to find Pan Meizhen!"
Liao Wenchang said coldly.
"Pan Meizhen? Pan Xiuyan's aunt?"
Mulan Xin's mind went blank for a moment, as if she hadn't reacted yet.
"Dad, you're saying my older brother is like this because Pan Meizhen poisoned him with a Gu worm?"
Liao Jingjing suddenly stood up and said.
"You'll have to ask your second aunt and your second brother about that!"
"Master, I..."
"Shut up!"
Liao Wenchang suddenly slammed his fist on the table and shouted!
"When it's your turn to speak, I won't let you off the hook even if you miss a single word!"
"dad,,"
"Shut up, you too! I, Liao Wenchang, have no son like you, a vicious and ungrateful wretch, and a woman with a heart of a snake!"
"Tang Long"!
"boss"!
Tang Long strode in from outside.
"Take Chen west and Liao Ziqiang to Villa No. 1 and keep them under guard. They are not allowed to have any contact with the outside world!"
"Yes, boss!"
