Chapter 76: The Last Eunuch of Jiuzhou Country, Ye Chen

“Ye Chen! I will kill you!” Jiang Yun’er’s face turned beet red, her eyes brimming with murderous intent, obviously enraged by the other’s actions.

She couldn’t believe this shameless person dared to take liberties with her, treating her like a pushover.

“Daughter, are you alright?” Soon, Jiang Yun’er’s parents came into her room, looking at her with worried expressions.

“I’m fine, Dad, Mom, don’t worry.” Jiang Yun’er took a deep breath, suppressing her inner rage.

“It’s good that you’re fine. It seems our house has been burgled! Such audacity, to steal from our Jiang family!” Jiang’s father said in anger, unable to believe that their family could fall victim to a thief.

Jiang Yun’er looked out of the window into the night, remaining silent. It wasn’t a burglary; Ye Chen had obviously targeted her!

............

After leaving the Jiang residence, Jiang Che got into the Bugatti again, humming a tune as he headed to the Yijia Hotel in the city. The act had to be complete. Ye Chen was probably still at the Yijia Hotel, and by leaving the car there, Ye Chen wouldn’t be able to clear his name.

At the Hotel, Jiang Che parked the Bugatti, walked into the hotel, then exited through the back door, and got into the bodyguards’ car. He had been keeping an eye on Ye Chen for many days, and that fool Ye Chen had never noticed.

“Young Master...”

“Has there been any recent update on Ye Chen?” Jiang Che, sitting in the back of the Audi A8, lit a cigarette and asked casually.

“No, since his meeting with Jiang Yun’er, he has been quiet. He’s been staying in this hotel for days, likely slowly healing and conditioning his body.”

“Tonight will be his end.” Jiang Che’s mouth curled into a mischievous smile.

He didn’t plan to leave, opting to wait there for Gu Yunqi and Jiang Yun’er, since they both knew Ye Chen was staying there.

............

“Is it really Ye Chen?” At Linjiang City’s First Middle School, Gu Yunqi looked at the surveillance video, her face as dark as storm clouds, her expression cold as ice.

She couldn’t believe it was Ye Chen, the very person she had helped in investigating the truth behind his family’s extermination. Was this his way of repaying her?

She regretted not distancing herself from him sooner, following the precedents set by Shen Qingqiu and Lin Xiyan. This man was nothing good!

Gu Yunqi thought about calling Ye Chen but decided against it, as it would only alert him. She planned to confront him at his hideout without warning.

“Senior Sister, what are you doing?” Ye Chen asked Gu Yunqi angrily as he bled profusely, his speech unclear. Was this woman going through early menopause? Attacking him without reason?

“What have you done that you don’t know about?” Gu Yunqi asked coldly, approaching him again and repeatedly slapping him across the face.

She showed no mercy, and Ye Chen, already injured, was overwhelmed and unable to defend himself.

“Senior sister, I was wrong, please stop hitting me...” Ye Chen, covering his face, kept begging Gu Yunqi for mercy. Speaking was difficult as his teeth were rattling from the impact.

Gu Yunqi was unrelenting in her assault; several of his front teeth were knocked out! Although Ye Chen had no idea what he had done to anger her, he feared if he didn’t plead, Gu Yunqi might beat him to death.

“Hmph, speak up, where did you take my sister?” Gu Yunqi coldly snorted, her tone stern and intimidating. “Confess honestly, and I might spare your life.”

“Your sister? When did I kidnap your sister?” Ye Chen was utterly baffled. He didn’t even know Gu Yunqi had a sister, let alone kidnap her. Moreover, he had been in the hotel healing his injuries and hadn’t left.

“Still pretending, are you? Look at this!” Gu Yunqi, pulling out her phone, showed him a video clip, throwing it in front of Ye Chen. It was the surveillance footage she copied from the school.

Bearing the pain, Ye Chen shakily picked up the phone to watch the video, and his confusion grew.

“Senior sister...this wasn’t done by me... Someone must have disguised themselves as me to frame me. I’ve been in the hotel these past few days and haven’t gone out.”

“Not you?” Gu Yunqi scoffed. “Then how do you explain the Bugatti parked outside the hotel?”

Ye Chen was at a loss for words, realizing he was being framed. With the Bugatti parked right there, he had no way to clear his name.

“Are you going to confess or not?” Gu Yunqi, running out of patience, turned to her bodyguards. “If he won’t die, beat him to a pulp!”

The bodyguards, scolded by Gu Yunqi, didn’t dare to retort and vented their anger on Ye Chen. “You bastard, daring to kidnap our second young mistress, are you tired of living? Brothers, beat him hard!”

Moments later, Ye Chen’s cries of agony filled the air. “Please stop, I beg you...”

Finally, Gu Yunqi ordered them to stop, not wanting to kill Ye Chen before he revealed her sister’s location. “Stop, don’t kill him.”

Acknowledging, the bodyguards ceased their beating. Ye Chen, now a bruised and bloodied mess with several teeth missing, was a pitiful sight.

“Ye Chen...” Jiang Yun’er approached him with a sinister look on her face.

“Senior sister...” Ye Chen stepped back in fear, sensing her malicious intent.

“You really are a good junior brother to me...” Jiang Yun’er sarcastically remarked. With a burst of sword energy from her fingers, she aimed straight for Ye Chen’s lower body.

With a sound akin to an eggshell cracking, Ye Chen’s eyes bulged, his face turning deathly pale. He couldn’t utter a word from the intense pain and fainted.
