Chu Xun did not release any depressing aura, yet the casual glance he shot at Liu Xiaobai made her feel cold all over as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

The amiable old man and the old man in the wheelchair were still a little taken aback by Liu Xiaobai's offering an apology to Chu Xun. Especially the amiable old man, he felt more worried than amazed because he knew Liu Xiaobai very well. She might look delicate and pretty, but she was also very arrogant and rarely took others seriously.

It was so weird that she humiliated and provoked Chu Xun at first and then apologized to him with a cup of wine. When things appeared abnormal, there must be schemes behind them.

The amiable old man prayed secretly that Liu Xiaobai would be cleverer this time and would not make any trouble; otherwise, even G.o.d could not save her by then.

Liu Xiaobai's hands were fair and soft. At the moment, she held the wine cup respectfully and bowed toward Chu Xun to hide the fear in her eyes.

After looking away from Chu Xun's eyes, she felt much better, no longer that frightened. She was annoyed at herself and felt embarra.s.sed and ashamed for she was frightened by Chu Xun's eyes.

When she raised her head again, she looked as confident as before without any trace of fear on her face. “You're not such a narrow-minded man, are you, Major General Chu? Are you really going to be so mean to me, a feeble woman?”

Chu Xun took his eyes off her and smiled before saying in a soft tone, “No, I'm not, because I don't want to lower myself. If it were not for your senior apprentice brother, you would be dead now.”

Chu Xun spoke his mind bluntly.

Liu Xiaobai's smile froze on her face, and her eyes turned gloomy. The wine cup in her hands crackled as if it would explode at any time.

Boom!

The wine cup exploded in the end, causing broken pieces to fly in all directions and wine to splash.

Liu Xiaobai was stunned for a moment because it was not her that crushed the cup; the cup exploded itself.

“Xiaobai, you're so rude.” the amiable old man wiped off the wine that stained his face and looked grave.

“Senior Brother, I…” Liu Xiaobai did not know how to explain it because she could not deny that the cup exploded in her hands.

“Well, that's enough. Xiaobai didn't do it deliberately. As her senior apprentice brother, you should take good care of her and don't scold her every time she made a little mistake,” the old man in the wheelchair said with dissatisfaction.

The amiable old man tried to say something but only sighed in the end instead of speaking his mind.

The older the people got, the more they spoiled the youngsters. Chu Xun could understand why the old man in the wheelchair defended Liu Xiaobai, but he would not put up with it. After all, these three people had no relations.h.i.+p with him, so they were not qualified to let him swallow the insult silently.

He was a cultivator and once was the Immortal Emperor, so he would fight against his fate and do what he wanted. Even though the amiable old man was the top official, and the old man in the wheelchair was the official's teacher, they posed no threat to him.

He promised the amiable old man that he would not kill Liu Xiaobai, and he kept his words; otherwise, Liu Xiaobai would have died long ago. However, if Liu Xiaobai dared to provoke him again, he would kill her without hesitation.

On the other side, Tang Rou just left from a commercial activity.

“Miss Tang, are you leaving for your hotel? I'll arrange a car for you right now,” the person in charge of Jinxiu Jewelry Company said.

Tang Rou nodded gently. She was so busy in the afternoon that she indeed felt a little tired now.

The person in charge of Jinxiu Jewelry Company immediately began to arrange the car.

“Miss Tang, the car is ready. It's in the underground garage. Please go this way!”

Huanyu Entertainment Company had been aggressively promoting Tang Rou during the last half year, and she herself worked hard at the same time with all that talent. Now she became quite famous, already an list star.

Therefore, she had to be very careful when she went out. She needed to avoid encountering not only paparazzi but also crazy fans.

The person in charge of Jinxiu Jewelry Company told the driver to wait for Tang Rou in the underground garage for her safety, because the gate now was blocked by reporters and her fans. If Tang Rou went out through that gate, she would cause a turmoil there.

After saying thanks to the person in charge of Jinxiu Jewelry Company, Tang Rou went to the underground garage directly by elevator with him and her a.s.sistant, Liu Xin.

A small black RV was waiting in the garage, and the person in charge of Jinxiu Jewelry Company ran to open the door of the car.

Bang!

Suddenly, the person in charge of Jinxiu Jewelry Company was knocked on the neck and fell down.

Tang Rou and Liu Xin felt frightened, and before they could react, they suddenly felt a sharp pain from their necks and fell down softly.

Chu Xun received a call from Azure Dragon and got to know the news of the missing of Tang Rou in the first place.

After hearing Azure Dragon's words, Chu Xun said calmly, “Wait for me.”

He then got up and said goodbye to the amiable old man in a gentle tone. They even exchanged their phone numbers.

Looking at Chu Xun's leaving back, Liu Xiaobai showed an evil smile.

The amiable old man happened to see the smile, and his heart skipped a beat. He had a vague feeling that something bad might happen. “Junior Sister, if you look for trouble yourself, then don't blame me for not saving you.” he sighed and said inwardly.

It should be a ten-minute drive to Jinxiu Jewelry Company, but it only took Chu Xun five minutes to arrive there.

Azure Dragon had been waiting at the gate of Jinxiu Jewelry Company with Green Snake and Golden Monkey.

“Senior, I'm so sorry!”

Golden Monkey and Green Snake looked ashamed with their heads down. Azure Dragon told them to protect Tang Rou, but now Tang Rou was missing.

“Senior, don't worry. We'll find her.” Azure Dragon promised. They had seen how cruel Chu Xun was with their own eyes. If Chu Xun lost his temper, the consequence would be serious.

“Is there any clue?” Chu Xun asked indifferently.

Azure Dragon could not help but feel terrified because Chu Xun looked so calm that it made Azure Dragon feel frightened.

Golden Monkey walked up and said, “We have checked the surveillance tape, and the criminals are Martial Tao practicers.”

He looked aggrieved. Both he and Green Snake were too careless.

Green Snake showed her snow-white teeth with a cold expression in her eyes. As they served in the National Security Agency and were at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, they had thought that no one dared to provoke them, but now it turned out…

“Is there any other clue?” Chu Xun asked.

Azure Dragon, Golden Monkey, and Green Snake lowered their heads ashamedly.

“I've sent some people to investigate it,” Azure Dragon said in a low voice. He was from the National Security Agency, yet Tang Rou was missing under his nose, and he did not find any useful clue. Thus, he felt so ashamed that he wanted to hide in a hole.

Moreover, because Tang Rou was a celebrity, they dared not to investigate the case in public. If some unscrupulous media got to know that Tang Rou was kidnapped, no one knew how they would report it, and it might ruin her career. Back when a female movie star in Harbor Island was kidnapped by some gangsters, she was forced to act in a movie. However, when the media got to know this, they exaggerated the news by saying that she was raped by those gangsters by turns, which caused the movie star to commit suicide.

“Have you investigated those sects of the Martial Tao world?” Chu Xun pondered for a while before asking.

Azure Dragon was stunned for a while. “Oh, how could I forget this? Only those sects of the Martial Tao world could make the National Security Agency find no clue.”

“Don't worry, senior. I'll let someone investigate them right now.” Azure Dragon had been famous for a long time, so he did have some acquaintances from the Martial Tao world. He began to make phone calls.

Chu Xun remained silent, only that when he s.h.i.+fted his gaze sometimes, there was a chilling expression in his eyes, which seemed to freeze the air in front of him.

At the same time, Tang Rou woke up in a room decorated in an ancient style.

Everything in the room was made of wood. The bed she lay on was made of redwood, a green sheer curtain hanging over it. There were scrolls of calligraphy and painting on the wall, and even a man who did not know how to appreciate paintings could tell that the mountains in those paintings were magnificent and the paintings were precious. Tang Rou could smell an aroma of wood in the air.

She ma.s.saged between her sore eyebrows and found her a.s.sistant Liu Xin lying beside her. She recalled what happened in the underground garage and started to panic.

Tang Rou tried to wake Liu Xin up.

Liu Xin's eyelids trembled several times before she opened her eyes. When she found out what kind of place she was in, she turned pale and looked frightened.

Tang Rou was no longer the naive girl who just entered society. At the point, she had experienced the a.s.sa.s.sination from the Scorpion Organization, and not long ago, she was kidnapped by Golden Wolf Mercenary. Thus, she was able to remain calm at the moment. She comforted Liu Xin while observing the place, trying to find a way to escape.

At this moment, she heard footsteps approaching the door.

“Young Master, we have caught her.”

“Xiaobai did a good thing this time, so did you. I'll reward you later.” A frivolous voice sounded, followed by some flattering voices.

Slam!

The door was pushed open, and several figures walked in.

When these people entered the room and saw Tang Rou and Liu Xin, they were stunned.

“You woke up so fast,” someone said.

Tang Rou and Liu Xin stepped backward to a corner and looked at those newcomers in fl.u.s.ter. Those newcomers looked a bit strange because the leading man wore an ancient costume. Under his red cloak was a white robe. His black hair was even longer than that of a woman, soft and s.h.i.+ning. However, he looked a bit ugly with a big nose and a pair of small eyes, pimples all over his face. At the moment, he had an obscene expression on his face. The several men behind him were dressed in modern clothes.

Tang Rou and Liu Xin looked at each other, confused. If they had not recalled what happened in the underground garage, they would have thought that those newcomers were shooting a movie or transported from another era.

“Miss Tang, I'm Chen Yuting. A pleasure to meet you,” the man dressed in an ancient costume greeted Tang Rou and said in a sharp voice, putting on an act. The way he talked and his ugly face made Tang Rou feel disgusted.

“Who are you? Why did you kidnap us?” Tang Rou suppressed her feeling of disgust and said with a stern face.

“Don't be scared, miss.” Chen Yuting waved his hands and continued, “I'm entrusted by someone to bring you here. I won't hurt you. Besides, I've admired you for a long time, and it's a great honor to meet you. If it's possible, I hope I can win your affection and tie the knot between us and lead a happy life together.”

Tang Rou frowned and suppressed her disgust. “Can you talk normally?” she said.

If the man kept talking like the ancients, she possibly would vomit.

Chen Yuting's face fell, but he did not lose his temper. As a matter of fact, everyone present could tell that he was suppressing his anger, especially those men standing behind him.

As his underlings, they knew him well. Only they knew that Chen Yuting was a disgusting pervert who even raped and killed his own younger sister just because she mocked him that ugly men always acted strangely.

Chen Yuting's original name was Chen Chuan, and it was him that changed his own name into Chen Yuting. He hated people talking about his appearance; it was like a taboo to him. Once when he pa.s.sed by a village, a child said that he was ugly, and he thus slaughtered the whole village.

Though Chen Yuting looked unattractive, he was talented in martial arts. Besides, he was the young master of the Demon King Sect, so he always could get what he wanted and led a willful life.

“Miss Tang, do you want to have a romantic relations.h.i.+p with me?” Chen Yuting suddenly asked.

Uh?

Tang Rou was shocked. Looking at his face, she swallowed her throat and almost could not restrain herself from throwing up.

“Young Master, Miss Liu said that we must keep Miss Tang alive,” one of Chen Yuting's underlings reminded him softly.

They knew Chen Yuting's character well. Chen Yuting would ask every beautiful woman he met if they wanted to have a romantic relations.h.i.+p with him, and if they refused him, he would break their necks next moment. In Chen Yuting's eyes, those women who refused him were very superficial and did not deserve living in this world.

Chen Yuting looked back at the man who reminded him and asked with a chilling smile, “Miss Liu? Are the two of you so familiar? Did you sleep with her?”

“No, I didn't. You misunderstood me, Young Master. Miss Liu is your woman, so I dare not to touch her. Please spare my life…”

Crack!

A sharp sound of bone breaking echoed.

“Noisy!”

Chen Yuting threw the dead man onto the ground and took out a snow-white handkerchief to clean his hands.

“Drag him out and feed him to Blackie.” Chen Yuting threw the handkerchief away, which happened to fell on the dead man's wide-open eyes.

His other underlings carried their dead companion hurriedly and ran out of the room as if they had received an amnesty.
