Chapter 6782
What are you afraid of?
Liu Yulian nodded hurriedly, her head bobbing like a chicken pecking at rice, as if she would fall into an even more terrible situation if she hesitated any longer.
At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind—to get out of this terrifying place as soon as possible.
The scene was truly terrifying. The bloody corpse on the ground, the pungent smell of blood in the air, and the unfathomable cold aura emanating from Xiao Chen all made her afraid to stay there any longer.
She turned and ran, her steps hurried and frantic, as if something terrible was chasing her.
Watching Liu Yulian's hasty retreat, Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, a smile tinged with a hint of mockery and helplessness.
He shook his head slightly, then took out his phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and said calmly, "Come and handle the scene. Don't frighten the citizens."
He knew that if ordinary citizens saw such a bloody scene, it would definitely cause unnecessary panic and chaos.
Unfortunately, during his confrontation with Li Fengyuan, he was unable to extract any information about Jiang Meng from Li Fengyuan's tightly closed mouth.
Li Fengyuan was like a hard rock; no matter how much he pressed him for answers, he remained tight-lipped.
However, Xiao Chen still managed to determine one thing from some clues: Jiang Meng was not in the mysterious and dangerous Spirit Realm, but in some corner of the mortal world.
It seems that now, besides continuing to eradicate those wicked prison clansmen, he also needs to find his wife's whereabouts.
The thought that Jiang Meng might be in danger made his eyes become exceptionally firm, and he secretly vowed to find her as soon as possible.
So, without hesitation, he dialed another number, this time to the headquarters of the War God Alliance in Beijing.
After the call connected, he said in a serious tone, "Help me find Jiang Meng's whereabouts. She is very important to me. By the way, don't reveal that I'm back for now. Just keep it to yourself."
He didn't want to alert the enemy, especially since it involved the Prison Clan. If he exposed his whereabouts, it could cause more trouble in finding Jiang Meng.
On the other end of the phone was Huang Tian, the current commander-in-chief of the War God Alliance.
Huang Tian was taken aback when he heard Xiao Chen's words, and then couldn't help but ask, "Boss, why?"
He really didn't understand why Xiao Chen was acting so discreetly.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "It's related to the Prison Clan... Don't ask too many questions for now, just investigate secretly."
He knew he couldn't explain too much right now; time was of the essence, and he had to act as soon as possible.
After speaking, Xiao Chen decisively hung up the phone, not giving Huang Tian a chance to continue asking questions.
Before long, the people from the Western Region War God Alliance arrived.
They arrived at the scene in neat uniforms.
Xiao Chen remained hidden in the shadows, quietly observing the actions of these people.
They skillfully lifted Li Fengyuan's body onto a stretcher, covered it with a black cloth, and then quickly cleaned up the bloodstains and traces at the scene.
The entire process was orderly and quiet, clearly indicating professional training.
Seeing that they had mostly cleaned up the scene, Xiao Chen turned and left.
Far, far away from the scene filled with bloodshed and tension, on a quiet and secluded alley, a Rolls-Royce Phantom was parked silently.
The car has smooth and elegant lines, and its body exudes an understated yet luxurious aura in the dim light, like a beast lurking in the night, highlighting its extraordinary status.
At that moment, the car door was suddenly pulled open with a "bang," and Liu Yulian scrambled into the car in terror. Her body trembled slightly, as if she had been greatly frightened. She plopped down on the soft seat and then slammed the door shut, as if that would shut out the horrific scene from outside the car.
Liu Jianming was sitting in the car, wearing a well-tailored suit, exuding a calm and dignified air.
Hearing the noise, he looked up and saw his daughter had returned. He was overjoyed, and his previously worried expression instantly eased. He quickly asked with concern, "Yulian, is Mr. Xiao there? Did you see him?"
His eyes were full of anticipation. After all, Mr. Xiao was no ordinary person, and meeting him might be of great help to his family's business.
Liu Yulian's face was pale, as if she had just recovered from a serious illness. She was breathing slightly, and fear still lingered in her eyes. She slowly handed her phone to Liu Jianming and said in a trembling voice, "He said we're going to eat at this place tomorrow at six o'clock... But Dad, can we please not have anything to do with him anymore? I'm scared."
Just thinking about what she had just witnessed sent a chill down her spine.
"Are you afraid? What are you afraid of?"
Liu Jianming frowned curiously, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
He really didn't understand why his daughter would react this way. In his opinion, Mr. Xiao was a rare person to befriend.
Liu Yulian gritted her teeth, as if she had made a great decision, and told him everything she had just seen: "Dad, I just saw a bloody corpse next to him. The scene was terrifying. I've never seen anything so bloody before. I feel like he's a dangerous person. Can we stay away from him?"
Her voice was pleading, and her eyes were filled with fear and unease.
As a business tycoon, Liu Jianming has been in the business world for many years and is naturally a man of great experience.
He didn't want such bloody and violent things to happen around him, but he had seen them before.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then put on a faint smile and said earnestly, "Just pretend you didn't see it. This is the era of martial artists now, it's different from the past."
In this era, force reigns supreme, and many things cannot be measured by common sense.
It's normal for some people to use any means necessary to achieve their goals.
"But……"
Liu Yulian still couldn't accept it. She frowned, her eyes filled with resistance. "I still think it's too scary. Why should we deal with people like this? What if we get into trouble one day?"
Liu Jianming gently shook his head, his eyes revealing wisdom and determination, and said, "Child, there are some things you may not truly understand."
The fact that he dared to kill someone in this place proves one thing: he is definitely not an ordinary person.
Either he possesses unparalleled martial arts skills and extraordinary combat prowess, making him an unmatched opponent for ordinary people; or he has an extremely powerful background and is backed by a formidable force, which allows him to act with such impunity. (End of Chapter)
