Chapter 234: Chapter 229: Utter Disappointment

Li Yuechan and Li Yuexin, the sisters, also had a drastic change in their expressions, completely clueless as to why Long Chen had attacked Han Min.

When Han Min saw both her daughters awake, she hurriedly cried out, "Yuechan, Yuexin, Cao Qiu had just led people to attack us, and Long Chen thought it was me who had drawn them here; he’s completely slandering me."

"Long... Long Chen, what exactly happened?"

Li Yuechan, struggling to stand, gazed at Long Chen.

"She poisoned us all, causing all of you to pass out, and I nearly got killed."

Long Chen clenched his teeth, his heart filled with indescribable rage.

"Mom, did you really do these things?"

Li Yuechan stared at Han Min.

Han Min quickly waved her hands and loudly said, "Yuechan, Long Chen is very skilled in medicine, and I have not been at home, so how could I have had the chance to poison him? It was all done by Cao Qiu."

"Long Chen, could there be some misunderstanding here?"

Li Yuechan cautiously asked.

"There’s no misunderstanding." Long Chen furiously said, "Han Min has completely chilled my heart this time, nearly getting me killed here; I will never let her go."

"Long Chen, how can you be so incompetent?" Han Min shouted, "You don’t have the ability to confront the Martial Alliance, so why take it out on me? I know I’ve done some things that wronged you in the past, but if I really wanted to harm you, why would I poison my own daughters? If you want to slander me, go ahead, because you are physically stronger and what you say must be right."

"Han Min, you’re courting death."

Long Chen closed his fists tightly and suddenly raised them.

"No!" Li Yuechan urgently said, "Long Chen, don’t be impulsive, we can talk this out, you..."

Bang.

Long Chen, disregarding everything, fiercely slammed down his fist.

Crack.

With that punch, Long Chen directly broke Han Min’s leg bone.

Han Min, in pain, couldn’t make a sound and soon fainted.

Li Yuechan and the others were shocked and couldn’t believe what had occurred.

They had never imagined that Long Chen would actually strike, and that he would do so with such severity.

Long Chen’s rage boiled over, and he was about to strike again.

He wanted to kill Han Min.

"No, Long Chen, I beg you, please don’t kill her."

Li Yuechan hurriedly threw herself forward to shield Han Min.

"Yuechan, I might not kill her, but she has deeply disappointed me; I can’t forgive her," Long Chen breathed heavily.

"You’ve already broken her leg, what more do you want? If you dare to touch her again, we are breaking up."

Li Yuechan cried out loudly, her eyes red.

This was her mother; she had to protect her.

"Are you threatening me with a breakup?"

Long Chen looked at Li Yuechan incredulously: "Do you not realize she almost got me killed?"

"That’s just your side of the story, I don’t know the truth, I..."

"Enough." At that moment, Long Chen’s heart suddenly grew cold, "If you believe her, then keep believing her. From now on, we are broken up."

With these words, Long Chen, dragging his heavy body, walked step by step towards the outside.

Li Yuechan stood there stunned, unsure what to do.

"Long Chen..."

Zhao Churan followed him, trying to support Long Chen.

His condition was evidently not good.

Long Chen, however, gestured with his hand, saying softly, "I’m fine, don’t worry about me. Let me be alone for a while."

He quickly walked away.

Zhao Churan, watching Long Chen’s disappearing figure, suddenly felt an urge to cry.

Turning back to look at Li Yuechan, Zhao Churan couldn’t help but say, "Yuechan, you know very well what kind of temper your mother has. I think if Han Min hadn’t infuriated Long Chen to the extreme, he would absolutely not have treated your mother like that.

You know Long Chen; he wouldn’t get so angry over something trivial."

"But even so, he shouldn’t have broken my mother’s leg like that, I..."

"Enough," Zhao Churan somewhat uncontrollably raised her voice, "Is your mother’s life a life, and Long Chen’s not? Didn’t you see he’s covered in blood, even bleeding from his wounds? Regardless, I believe in Long Chen; I believe he’s not a person who makes trouble without reason."

"This matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated later, but right now, Long Chen is probably totally disappointed."

Xia Ling bit her lip; she also didn’t know what would be best to do.

"Sister Xia Ling, I think we should leave immediately," Zhao Churan said solemnly, "After Cao Qiu goes back, if he calls for more attacks, we will be in great danger.

Now that Long Chen has left in anger, and with his serious injuries, he’s not here; it will be very difficult for us to defend ourselves..."

"No need to leave." Zhuge Xuan said sternly, "As long as Unrivaled and I are still alive, you all will be safe, but she needs to leave."

Zhuge Xuan looked at Li Yuechan with a cold expression: "Li Yuechan, Brother Long Chen has always treated you better than anyone else, yet your mother has repeatedly persecuted Brother Long Chen, and now you still choose to defend her. How can you justify yourself to Brother Long Chen?"

"I can’t believe you don’t know what kind of person Long Chen is," said Xia Ling solemnly. "For your sake, he endured Han Min’s behavior, even lent her tens of millions. It was called a loan, but do you think your mother would ever repay it? He even agreed to let her move in here. If he were a man to cause trouble without reason, why would he do these things?"

Li Yuechan lowered her head, speechless, silently shedding tears.

"Yuechan, seeing your aunt about to be beaten can certainly be excused by your urgency of heart, but this is not a trivial matter. If Aunt Han truly became a traitor and poisoned us, then this would involve the entire Dragon Shadow Group, and the consequences would be unthinkable. No wonder Long Chen was so angry. Therefore, this matter must be carefully investigated, and not simply dropped because Long Chen walked away after a quarrel. If we don’t look into it, we will all feel very uneasy," Xia Ling continued with a grave tone.

...

Outside, Long Chen, alone, walked to the lake’s edge.

Bloodied, he stripped off his clothes and with a loud splash, he jumped into the lake, sinking to the bottom.

The icy lake water could not suffocate Long Chen.

At the lake’s bottom, Long Chen sat cross-legged, his mind and body immediately feeling cleansed.

This time, Li Yuechan had deeply disappointed him.

But what truly enraged Long Chen was the Martial Alliance.

The actions of the Martial Alliance had thoroughly incited Long Chen to kill.

"Martial Alliance, the day I emerge from this lake will be your day of doom," Long Chen decided in his heart.

Then, Long Chen focused his mind, channeling his Spiritual Power to heal his injuries.

...

The escaped Cao Qiu hurried back to the Martial Alliance and reported everything to the Alliance Hierarch, Hua Qingfeng.

Upon hearing this, Hua Qingfeng was tremendously excited and immediately said, "Since Long Chen has been severely wounded, now is an excellent time for us to act."

"Alliance Hierarch, we have seriously underestimated Long Chen," Cao Qiu said gravely. "His strength matches ours, and his True Qi is extraordinarily sinister and extremely powerful. I suggest we think this through carefully."

"Brother Cao, precisely because he is strong, now is our best chance. If we don’t strike while he is down, we may never get another opportunity like this," Hua Qingfeng replied.

Cao Qiu responded, "Alliance Hierarch, have you forgotten our goal? Our aim is to force him to sign the contract and take over the Eastern Dragon Shadow Group."

"I haven’t forgotten," said Hua Qingfeng. "So now, we should deploy all our forces, find Long Chen tonight, and completely subdue him, forcing him to sign. We can’t allow him to recover."

"That sounds good, but we must be careful and not underestimate him," Cao Qiu cautioned.

Hua Qingfeng nodded, saying, "From what you’ve said, that kid’s Pipa Bone has been penetrated; yet he still managed to unleash such fighting power, certainly having activated all his potential and severely overexerting himself. Whether he is even alive now is questionable. We need to act quickly; I suggest we set out immediately."

"Alright."

Shortly after, the Martial Alliance went out in force, scouring the area for traces of Long Chen.

Hua Qingfeng personally led a team to Long Chen’s villa to conduct a search.

Unrivaled and Zhuge Xuan fought desperately but were severely injured by Hua Qingfeng, proving no match for him.

Hua Qingfeng ordered a thorough search and, upon not finding Long Chen, asked coldly, "Where has Long Chen gone?"

"He’s gone out and didn’t let us follow. We don’t know where he went," Xia Ling replied seriously.

"You expect me to believe that? Little girl, misleading me comes with a price," Hua Qingfeng said as his eyes narrowed.

Faced with this Martial Arts expert, Xia Ling was not frightened; in fact, she wanted to test him further.

"There was an incident earlier where Long Chen wanted to kill Han Min, who was manipulated by Cao Qiu. But Li Yuechan insisted on protecting Han Min, which enraged Long Chen, and he left."

Xia Ling said this gravely, watching intently for Hua Qingfeng’s reaction.

Hua Qingfeng was visibly taken aback but then burst into laughter, saying, "Well, if that’s what you said, then I must believe you, haha. Cao Qiu, it seems Han Min indeed played a significant role. Not only has Long Chen been grievously wounded, but his mental state has also collapsed. Very good, very good indeed."

Hearing this, Li Yuechan abruptly lifted her head.

The truth had finally surfaced.

Han Min indeed had helped Cao Qiu secretly set up Long Chen.

No wonder Long Chen was so angry.

Thinking of Long Chen’s desolate departure, a stabbing pain clenched Li Yuechan’s heart.

"Cao Qiu, have someone guard here throughout the night. As soon as Long Chen returns, notify me immediately. We must expand the search area, and tonight we cannot let Long Chen escape," Hua Qingfeng commanded loudly.

"Understood."

Cao Qiu nodded, then quickly arranged for about thirty people to guard the perimeter of Long Chen’s villa.

Hua Qingfeng then swiftly led his team away to continue the search.

...

In the spacious living room, Li Yuechan and the others remained silent, the atmosphere extremely tense.

This issue had grown incredibly complex because of Han Min.

After a long while, Han Min finally woke up.

The first thing she did upon awakening was to loudly accuse Long Chen of slandering her, sobbing and cursing, blaming him for breaking her leg.
