Chapter 91: Scorpion's Plan

Xiao Ye looked at Wang Tianhai, whose body was gradually dissipating in front of him, with no trace of pity in his eyes.

This man might have killed more people than he had for his own private desires. He didn’t deserve even a glance from him.

Xiao Ye turned and headed forward, pulling out the ancient bronze dagger that had been nailed into the wall.

The vivid carved patterns on it made the entire dagger appear to have an added mysterious color.

This dagger had been seized from an enemy’s hand during a mission years ago.

At that time, Xiao Ye had merely thought the patterns on the dagger were exquisitely detailed.

He had once asked someone to appraise it, and found that the dagger was over three hundred years old, yet the complexity of its patterns was something that could not have been achieved at that time.

Later, Xiao Ye discovered that this dagger had other functions, capable of resisting the erosion by evil spirits.

Although he himself could not see the shape of the so-called spirit entity, under the dagger’s mysterious power, he could still sense it.

This was why he could personally capture the spirit entity.

In the face of true power, such showy things were completely ineffective.

Xiao Ye wiped the dust off the dagger, sheathed it, and then walked into the elevator, returning to Qin Xue’er’s ward.

From the moment he left until he dealt with Wang Tianhai, the time taken had not exceeded twenty minutes.

On the way back, Xiao Ye had been thinking that although he was an adopted king, this current situation was not safe for him, especially for the people around him.

The fact that Wang Tianhai could find him meant that others would definitely be able to trace his whereabouts.

He thought it was too easy to conceal his tracks, but by doing so, the people around him would certainly be targeted.

Even if their target was him, it would ultimately harm Qin Xue’er and the others.

Perhaps it was time to prepare a more stable system to protect the people around him.

Before returning, Xiao Ye had already made all preparations.

Now, the grudge of the family had been avenged, but the green bamboo jade flute that had fallen into Jiang Zhongtao’s hands had not yet been retrieved.

Various things were continuously pushing Xiao Ye forward.

He sat quietly outside the ward for five minutes, organizing his thoughts, then walked back in.

At this time, Qin Xue’er had already fallen asleep. The medicine the doctor had prescribed contained calming and sedative ingredients.

Looking at her face with scars, Xiao Ye gently said,

“I will make you recover. I promise!”

In the meantime, outside the operating room at the People’s Hospital, Chen Jingshen was anxiously waiting.

Chen Ning had been sent into surgery for more than ten hours, but the “operating” light was still flashing.

The black-clothed bodyguards stood in a neat row in the corridor.

Chen Jingshen, enveloped by them, had a grave face and furrowed brows.

Finally, the light went out, and the deputy dean came out. He was the chief surgeon.

Seeing him walk out, Chen Jingshen led his people directly up to him.

“Chen Ning… How is the situation?”

Upon hearing Chen Jingshen’s words, the deputy dean first extended his hand and placed it on his chest.

“Through our efforts, we have preserved the young master’s life.”

The deputy dean’s words undoubtedly gave Chen Jingshen an injection of strength, but the next words from him caused him to fall again.

“But… the young master’s hands may never be able to lift again… I’m sorry, we did our best.”

Hearing these words, Chen Jingshen directly froze in place, his pupils involuntarily enlarging a bit, and his whole person seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

He clearly understood what this message represented.

From today onward, Chen Ning’s hands would never be usable again.

Although his life was preserved, to put it bluntly, from now on, he could only be a cripple.

The deputy dean nodded toward Chen Jingshen with an expression full of regret, then walked toward the distance.

The bodyguards nearby did not dare to utter a single word.

In their eyes, Chen Jingshen seemed to have aged more than ten years, and the white streaks in his hair looked even more prominent.

At this moment, he directly grabbed his collar with his hand and squatted down on the ground, curling up into a ball.

The people behind could clearly feel the sorrowful aura emanating from him.

However, no one could help him.

Chen Jingshen’s heart ached so much he wanted to die. Although Chen Ning was only his illegitimate son,

this was merely the inherent impression of outsiders. He knew all too well what he had given up for Chen Ning.

Chen Ning’s mother was the woman he loved most in his life.

At that time, he had entertained countless thoughts of eloping with her, but ultimately he was persuaded to return, and successfully became the head of the Chen family.

But precisely because of this, it indirectly led to her death.

This had always been an unspeakable scar in Chen Jingshen’s heart, one that had never healed.

Now, Chen Ning had encountered such a thing, and he completely didn’t know how to explain it to him.

Although he harbored deep guilt, as the family patriarch, he absolutely could not reveal his vulnerable side at this time.

Chen Jingshen stood up again. The pain in his eyes was replaced by anger, and the anger was about to overflow from his eyes.

He couldn’t wait to avenge the person who had severely injured his son!

“From now on, you all stay in Jianghai City with me until we find this person’s whereabouts and avenge the young master!”

Hearing this, the bodyguards on both sides of the corridor shouted in unison!

“Avenge the young master!”

Chen Jingshen left a few people behind and was about to lead the main force away, when a clear and cold female voice came from behind.

“Truly have a lot of momentum, but to be frank, with just these people of yours, you won’t be able to find the other party’s whereabouts.”

Hearing the woman’s words, Chen Jingshen frowned and looked back.

He saw a woman dressed in very bold attire, leaning against the wall, lazily addressing his direction.

“Who are you?”

Chen Jingshen frowned, with bulging veins on his face, and said to the woman in front with impatience.

At the same time, the bodyguards beside him walked up, looking warily at the woman.

“Relax, I’m not here to cause trouble!”

The woman said in a righteous tone, while walking towards Chen Jingshen.

The bodyguards wanted to make a move but were stopped by him.

“What exactly do you mean by what you said just now?”

Chen Jingshen asked in confusion, but the woman in front did not directly answer his question.

“The person you are looking for has some connection with me as well, and this person has also touched upon my interests.”

“He is named Xiao Ye.”
