Chapter 313: Chapter 333: Isn’t Your Question Too Childish? _1

Guan He drove towards the villa while calling Wang Jianbo.

"Young Master Wang."

Wang Jianbo’s tone was full of anticipation: "Did you catch the person?"

Guan He spoke steadily and unhurriedly, "No, there was a problem. Young Master Wang, I’m afraid the information you gave me might be a bit off."

Wang Jianbo’s voice was full of doubt: "What’s the problem?"

Guan He said solemnly, "I have eight skilled subordinates, known as The Eight Generals of Erhe Hall. I sent five of them on this mission, but I just received a call from one of them. They managed to break into the target’s residence but were killed effortlessly by one of the targets..."

Wang Jianbo exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible?"

Guan He confirmed, "The man is called Lin Chen, right?"

Wang Jianbo replied, "Yes, it’s him. Is he a powerful cultivator?"

Guan He said solemnly, "My surviving subordinate had a previous encounter with him due to another matter and was able to confirm that he is a cultivator – and a powerful one at that. Your information was not accurate."

Lin Chen is a powerful cultivator?

A bucket of ice seemed to be poured over Wang Jianbo’s head, and many of his previous doubts were suddenly resolved in an instant. Why would Chu Jiaxue’s grandfather choose Lin Chen to marry her? Why could the arrogant Chu Jiaxue fall for Lin Chen?

Wasn’t it because Lin Chen was a powerful cultivator?

If Lin Chen was just an ordinary person, would Chu Jiaxue even consider marrying him, let alone being so affectionate with him, even turning a blind eye to his indiscretions outside?

A powerful cultivator wasn’t something that came about so easily; considering Lin Chen’s young age, it meant he must have a powerful background. If nothing else, at least a formidable cultivator as a master, right?

And yet he had sent people to kidnap Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue. If word got out and the other party sought revenge against him, would he be able to withstand it?

"Brother Guan, it is my negligence that caused them to deceive and hide from me. I will definitely compensate you sufficiently for this matter. However, how should we proceed with this now?"

Guan He gave a reminder, "From what I gathered, they don’t seem to take me or the Guan Family seriously. I’ll go and have a word with them. We cannot lose face for the Guan Family. However, I can’t guarantee that I will be able to suppress them. If I can’t, I might not be able to keep your secret."

Although Wang Jianbo was somewhat displeased, he knew that Guan He had already given him face by reminding him with this call.

"Alright, I understand. If the other party has a big enough background, Brother Guan doesn’t need to shoulder any responsibility for me. Just tell them that I sought your help."

Guan He laughed, "I just mentioned the worst-case scenario. After all, I am a grandmaster with the backing of the Guan Family. If I can keep the matter under wraps, I will do my best to not involve you, Young Master Wang."

Wang Jianbo said gratefully, "Okay, I’ll wait for your call."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Jianbo thought for a moment, got up from the sofa, took off his pajamas, quickly changed into clothes, and left the room.

After leaving his residence, Wang Jianbo didn’t go far. He just found a nearby coffee shop, ordered a cup of coffee, placed his mobile phone on the table, and waited quietly.

...

Guan He parked the car at the entrance of the villa, took a look at the villa in front of him, and leapt onto the fence.

In the small courtyard of the villa, four lifeless bodies lay on the ground. Beside them stood a man with a nervous and cautious expression. It was Zhang Ying who had called him earlier.

In front of Zhang Ying, there was a chair on the empty ground. A young man sat leisurely in the chair, legs crossed, looking at his mobile phone with a relaxed expression.

On the second-floor balcony, two beautiful women were standing and staring directly at him.

Guan He felt a strange fear in his heart, as if the seemingly calm courtyard was hiding endless murderous intent. It was like a bottomless pit that would swallow him whole without leaving even a single bone behind.

Fighting his almost instinctive fear, Guan He jumped into the courtyard.

How powerful could a man in his twenties be?

A grandmaster?

Impossible!

Even if he had extraordinary talent and was indeed a grandmaster, Guan He was also a grandmaster; there was no need to be afraid of him!

Lin Chen looked up at Guan He and put his phone away, "Guan He?"

Guan He said coldly, "Who are you? You are quite ruthless."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "You sent people after me, and you’re still asking who I am? Don’t you think your question is a bit childish?"

Guan He was left speechless and regretful in his heart.

This time, he trusted Wang Jianbo too much and didn’t think about verifying the target’s information himself. If he had truly investigated the target, he wouldn’t be completely unaware of their background, right?
