Chapter 289 - 289 280 277 One Dead One Injured

289: Chapter 280 Chapter 277: One Dead, One Injured 289: Chapter 280 Chapter 277: One Dead, One Injured “Shit, I’m going to kill you!” Ye Chen roared in anger, then his whole body erupted with energy.

At that moment, Ye Chen suddenly changed, his eyes turned blood red, and his entire being seemed to fill with power.

Ye Chen had now entered a state of fury, the air around him felt like it had solidified, and the black-clothed men around curiously looked everywhere, trying to find something, but ultimately, they discovered nothing.

“That’s odd!” The Facebook man frowned, looking at Ye Chen in astonishment, as if he harbored another soul inside him.

He curiously said, “Why would this be, such a huge change in a person before and after?

Could it be a superpower user?”

“Kill, kill, kill!” Ye Chen roared violently, the air around him flowing instantly, a massive gust of wind blowing past, making everyone’s hair flutter backwards.

Ye Chen charged forward, holding a dagger in his hand.

No one noticed the rich glow emanating from the dagger.

The Facebook man was taken aback, exclaiming in shock, “The Inheritor?!”

The Facebook man was terrified, about to retreat, but Ye Chen’s dagger had already swung towards him.

Thanks to a lucky dodge by the Facebook man, he avoided turning to ashes immediately, just like Elder Mian Xu did before, who was slain by Ye Chen with one knife.

“Retreat!” The Facebook man cried out in alarm, immediately ordering everyone to withdraw.

The black-clothed men received the order and quickly retreated, no one daring to stay at the scene.

Ye Chen flung out another ray of light, and the last two black-clothed men were promptly slain by Ye Chen with one knife.

After those men escaped, the air around them immediately returned to normal, and Ye Chen also collapsed softly to the ground.

He did not know how much time had passed when Ye Chen heard someone calling his name close to his ear.

Upon opening his eyes, it turned out to be Li Ruo calling him.

Ye Chen immediately was shocked and quickly sat up.

The police had cordoned off the area, and the tragedy that happened at the Li Family shocked everyone.

The Li Family suffered one death and one injury, plus one missing person.

“Ye Chen, my dad is gone!” Li Ruo suddenly burst into tears.

Ye Chen quickly comforted her, “It’s okay, you still have me!”

The death of Li Tianya was a severe blow to Li Ruo.

After collecting evidence at the scene, the Tianya Group lawyers arrived and negotiated with the police.

Fang Qin personally took statements from Li Ruo and Ye Chen inside the Li Family villa.

No one knew who the perpetrator was or where they came from.

The police investigation did not lead to any conclusions.

The only thing found at the scene was a dagger with a strange fingerprint on it, which the police preserved and entered into China’s criminal record database.

The body of Mr.

Li Tianya was transported to the funeral home.

The funeral would be held on a chosen date.

The current Li Ruo was utterly exhausted.

With a pile of things waiting to be handled, she just couldn’t bring herself to deal with them.

The betrayal of her kin, her father’s departure, made this family, which had already lost the mother, even more broken.

In the vast villa, aside from the servants, she was left alone.

Her brother was missing, her father dead, the murderer still at large…

“Dad…” Li Ruo cried, her eyes red and swollen as she lay by the bedside, unable to accept the news of her father’s passing.

“Xiao Ruo, don’t be sad!” Ye Chen quickly comforted, and some of Li Ruo’s friends also came to console her, but it was of little use.

Such things had to be shouldered alone, and Li Ruo lay by the bed, holding tightly onto Ye Chen’s arm before finally falling into a deep sleep.

Looking at Li Ruo curled up by the bed, Ye Chen felt a surge of pity.

What a poor girl.

He covered her with the quilt and drew the curtains, plunging the room into darkness, while a few street lamps provided some illumination to the Mountain and Sea Villa District.

Ye Chen sat in the living room smoking, and a servant brought him a cup of tea.

In this broken home, now missing its male lead, the servants couldn’t help but treat this man as the young master, the future man of the house.

The servant said with concern, “Young master, drink some tea, and smoke less.

It’s better for your health!”

“Thank you!” Ye Chen nodded, then stubbed out the cigarette in his hand.

There were already more than ten butts in the ashtray.

The night was quiet and deep, and in the blink of an eye, it was the early hours of the morning.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Chen had fallen asleep on the couch.

The next morning, when he awoke, daylight had already broken, and the servants were busily preparing for the new day.

Upon seeing Ye Chen get up, they all greeted, “Good morning, young master!”

“Morning!” Ye Chen accepted the title nonchalantly.

He sprinted upstairs, entered Li Ruo’s room, and saw she was still sleeping by the bed, tears lingering at the corner of her eyes.

Ye Chen gently wiped away the tears and muttered to himself, “I hope you can get over this hurdle soon!”

Li Ruo seemed to hear Ye Chen’s words, her long lashes trembling slightly before she opened her eyes and looked at Ye Chen.

“Ye Chen…

my dad, is my dad really gone?” she asked.

“Yes,” Ye Chen nodded.

Li Ruo couldn’t stop the tears from falling, astonished that a night had gone by and she still hadn’t accepted reality.

After crying for a while, she quickly settled down.

That night, she had slept as though she hadn’t slept at all, her eyes red and swollen, her nose adorned with crystal-clear tears.

She nestled against Ye Chen, her body trembling.

Ye Chen understood the immense pain she must be bearing in her heart.

After a long time, Li Ruo finally wiped her tears away, got up from the bed, and after tidying herself up, she applied a light makeup.

Then, she followed Ye Chen downstairs.

The servants in the hall lined up in two rows, welcoming the lady downstairs as they had done in days past.

Li Ruo had breakfast and then went with Ye Chen to the funeral parlor in the north of the city.

At the funeral parlor, Mr.

Li Tianya’s body was carefully processed and then placed into the freezer.

Li Ruo planned to cremate the body directly, without holding any funeral service, and the public announcement would only be that he died from illness.

The funeral service for Mr.

Li Tianya was attended only by some core members within Tianya Group and those old partners who had struggled alongside Mr.

Li Tianya back in the day.

No one else attended, not even his own biological son.

After the cremation, Mr.

Li Tianya’s ashes were buried on the mountaintop, said to be the place with the best feng shui and the broadest view.

Although it cost over a million, this amount of money was a mere trifle for Tianya Group.

After bidding farewell to Mr.

Li Tianya, Li Ruo stood in front of the grave for a long time, unwilling to leave, silently crying while looking at the tombstone that had yet to be inscribed with an epitaph.

“Xiao Ruo, we should go now,” Ye Chen said softly, embracing Li Ruo’s slender waist.

Li Ruo nodded and said, “Ye Chen, thank you.”

“Thank me for what, what is our relationship!” Ye Chen said with a faint smile, “From now on, I am your only family.”

“Mhm!” Li Ruo nodded and leaned her head gently against Ye Chen’s chest, saying, “Will you be good to me in the future?”

“Of course!” Ye Chen nodded and said, “You are my person from now on!”

“Hmph, if you are not good to me, I won’t want you anymore!” Li Ruo hummed lightly, and then glanced at Mr.

Li Tianya’s tombstone, saying, “My dad will be watching over us from heaven.

If you are not good to me, he will come and trouble you!”

“Lord Taishan, rest assured, I will definitely be good to Xiao Ruo!” Ye Chen said earnestly, standing in front of the tombstone and then bowing.

As Li Ruo watched Ye Chen’s sincere gesture, her heart couldn’t help but be touched.

After all, it was a blessing to have a man willing to truly stand by her side when someone’s family circumstances had changed so drastically.

After leaving the cemetery, Ye Chen drove Li Ruo to the Mountain and Sea Villa District.

Suddenly, Li Ruo made an important decision.

“I want to move house!” Li Ruo turned to look at Ye Chen.

“To where?” Ye Chen was taken aback.

“To live with you!” Li Ruo looked at Ye Chen and asked, “What do you think?”

‘I think it’s very bad!’ Ye Chen immediately shook his head.

Shit, there was already a Liu Momo at home.

If Li Ruo found out, wouldn’t he be in for a world of trouble?

Moreover, he had to sleep with Liu Momo every night, although nothing had happened between them, would Li Ruo believe that if she saw it?

So, Ye Chen immediately vetoed Li Ruo’s decision.

“Why not?” Li Ruo asked curiously.

“Firstly, Xin Hai Apartment has a terrible living environment and poor facilities; and also, the space where I live is small.

As a president, if you want to receive guests at home, how could you possibly entertain them?” Ye Chen quickly analyzed, and it sounded quite convincing.

Li Ruo also found it to make sense, so she also felt that moving wasn’t such a good decision.

“But, I want to leave that place, I don’t want to continue living in a place filled with pain!” Li Ruo said, leaning dependently on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen, driving Li Ruo’s newly bought Infiniti, couldn’t help but ponder for a while before saying, “Actually, it’s not impossible to move.

That villa in Jiangnan No.1 is yours, right?

You can move in anytime.”

“That’s yours!” Li Ruo hummed softly, “You bought it!”

“Alright then, I’ll give it to you now, how about that?” Ye Chen said with a smile.

“Give it to me?” Li Ruo was startled and said, “That’s a luxury villa worth thirty million, fully furnished.

Do you just give it away so easily?” Li Ruo exclaimed.

“Silly, isn’t what’s mine also yours?” Ye Chen said with a light smile.
