Chapter 157 Petty Lin Ruoxue
"Lin Ruoxue looked at the two people beaming with smiles and felt that her impeccable reputation of over twenty years had been lost just like that!
'Madam Wang, it's getting late. You should hurry to rest.'
Lin Ruoxue said with concern, feeling that nothing good ever happened when Madam Wang and Su Chen were together.

'Hmm, then I'll go to rest first. It's better for you two to go to your room to avoid catching a cold,' Madam Wang said with a meaningful tone, then walked toward her own bedroom, her voice still carrying from afar:
'Looks like the master is looking forward to a grandchild soon!'
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue almost sprayed out the mouthful of tea she had just sipped.
Her pretty face flushed again, and she didn't know how many times she had blushed that evening; it seemed like her cheeks had never cooled down.
In her heart, she muttered, wondering when Madam Wang had become as annoying as this guy!
'Wife, let's also go back to our room,' Su Chen smirked again, 'Didn't Madam Wang tell us not to catch cold?'
'Get lost, go back to your own room.'
Lin Ruoxue spat out, how could she possibly let this bastard get close to her now? That bastard had tarnished her reputation!
After that, Lin Ruoxue 'stomped stomped stomped' upstairs, her steps so heavy they seemed about to break the stairs.
'Why so stingy?' Su Chen curled his lips and returned to his own room.
Once back in his room, Su Chen naturally began to intensify his cultivation. By now, Tang Gang and the powers behind him had likely learned he was still alive.
This filled him with a sense of urgency, knowing that with his current strength, not to mention protecting Lin Ruoxue and the people he cared about, even he himself could not ensure his own safety.
Su Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, immersing himself in cultivation wholeheartedly...
....
Meanwhile, in a high-end apartment in Jianghai.
Wu Yuanpin was engaged in the most primal activity with a newly popular actress on a round bed!
Not far from him, a man who resembled 'Rabbit Gentleman' watched his phone anxiously.
'What's the matter, no news yet?'
Wu Yuanpin asked while in the midst of his activity, his tone somewhat unsatisfied.
'Not yet.'
'Rabbit Gentleman' answered uneasily.
'Then call him and ask how things are going.'
'Young Master Wu, are you comfortable?'
The actress asked with a flushed face full of allure, then pulled the blanket over to cover Wu Yuanpin.
'Comfortable, you little minx. You look so innocent, I didn't expect you to be so energetic!'
Wu Yuanpin slapped the actress on the buttocks and said,
'Get lost then, the leading lady in Director Lin's next film is you.'
'Thank you, Young Master Wu!'
The actress hugged Wu Yuanpin excitedly, planted a fierce kiss on his face, and then began to dress.
'Young Master, I don't have the contact details of the other party,' 'Rabbit Gentleman' said with a tremble, steeling himself, 'He said earlier that if the job was done, he'd contact me proactively, and if it's past 11:30, there would be no need for me to contact him.'
By the end of his speech, 'Rabbit Gentleman's' head had completely dropped, and he dared not look at Wu Yuanpin's face.
'What time is it now?'
'11:58,' 'Rabbit Gentleman' said, trembling.
'You're not about to tell me that my 25 million US dollars have gone to waste, are you?'
Wu Yuanpin stood up abruptly wrapped in a robe, his face ashen as he asked.
That was 25 million US dollars, which equates to almost two hundred million in Huaxia currency!
Hearing Wu Yuanpin's angry voice, 'Rabbit Gentleman' shuddered uncontrollably, not daring to respond.
'Speak!'
Wu Yuanpin suddenly roared, startling the actress beside him.
"Young Master Wu, don't be so angry! Mind your health."
The actress walked up to Wu Yuanpin, a delicate hand tracing over his chest as she spoke in a whining tone.
"Slap!"
Wu Yuanpin reflexively delivered a loud slap to the actress's face and coldly spat out:
"Scram!"
The actress, upon seeing Wu Yuanpin's murderous gaze, was immediately frightened and hurriedly opened the door to run out.
"Speak!"
Wu Yuanpin once again roared at "Rank Leader."
"Yes!"
"Rank Leader" struggled to utter a word, his voice trembling!
"Bang"
Wu Yuanpin casually picked up a teacup from the bedside cabinet and hurled it at "Rank Leader," striking him in the forehead. A stream of crimson blood immediately began flowing down his face.
"Bastard!"
Wu Yuanpin shouted angrily, his face covered with frost!
Although he was the Wu Family's Young Master, 25 million US dollars was not a small amount to him, as he had not yet inherited the vast wealth of the Wu Family.
"How are you going to explain this to me?"
Wu Yuanpin asked coldly, his eyes filled with flames of rage.
"Young Master, I'm sorry!"
"Rank Leader" immediately fell to his knees, weeping and pleading,
"I beg you, Young Master, please spare me!"
"Spare you? Heh, if you get those 25 million US dollars back or if you kill that Su guy, I'll spare you."
Wu Yuanpin snorted coldly, his gaze upon "Rank Leader" filled with indifference!
Hearing Wu Yuanpin's words, "Rank Leader" felt utterly hopeless!
He didn't even know where that assassin was, how could he possibly demand the money?
Moreover, even if he knew, he wouldn't dare. After all, the assassin was a top killer; it would be a stroke of luck if he wasn't slaughtered himself.
And as for that Su kid, he was almost as strong as a Rank Leader; how could he possibly kill him? There wasn't the slightest chance!
"Since you can't do it then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Wu Yuanpin called out towards the door, "Come in!"
As soon as his words faded, two men dressed in black suits entered the room.
"Take him out, dispose of him cleanly!"
Wu Yuanpin waved his hand, and the two men lifted "Rank Leader" from the ground and dragged him away; the sounds of his pleas could still be heard from afar.
When Wu Yuanpin was left alone in the room, he lit a cigar in agitation, pondering what had actually happened.
It seemed there were only two possibilities now: either the assassin wasn't as formidable as he claimed, running away with the money; or something unexpected had happened, causing the assassination to fail.
Putting himself in the other's shoes, Wu Yuanpin was more inclined to believe the first possibility.
"Damn it, I should have only given him a 5 million deposit at first."
Wu Yuanpin thought begrudgingly, but at that time "Rank Leader" had told him the rule was to pay the full amount upfront.
Desperate to eliminate Su Chen, Wu Yuanpin hadn't thought it through and had handed over the entire sum!
Now, remembering this made Wu Yuanpin's heart ache!
This heartache soon turned into deeper hatred towards Su Chen!
"Su, I don't believe you'll always be this lucky! Sooner or later, I'll kill you!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Wu Yuanpin swore to himself, the fires of vengeance burning in his heart, and his eyes gradually reddened...
