Chapter 233: Chapter 233: The Terrifying Kept King
"Young Tang, what's wrong with you?"
Noticing that Tang Yu's expression suddenly seemed somewhat strange, Lu Junzhuo asked curiously.
"Eh... it's nothing. Come, I'll teach you two martial arts techniques."
Tang Yu began to teach Lu Junzhuo right there.
Of course, what he was teaching wasn't that dual cultivation technique.
Two men cultivating together? What's the point of that? Besides, he wasn't interested in men.
He was going to teach Lu Junzhuo two martial arts techniques: "[Iron Fingers]" and "The [Will of the Serrated Blade]."
Although "[Iron Fingers]" was a somewhat... dishonest and vulgar technique, its destructive power was undoubtedly impressive.
Combined with the triple-strike effect of "[Will of the Serrated Blade]," Lu Junzhuo could definitely crush Ye Qiu in the future.
Being a pragmatic person, Lu Junzhuo didn't care about such trivialities.
When Tang Yu taught him these two techniques, Lu Junzhuo, moved to the point of tears, stood up and deeply bowed to thank him.
As a martial artist, he understood perfectly well the importance of these techniques.
If he mastered them well, his combat strength would increase significantly.
The experts at the [Heaven] level of the Spiritual Dragon were about to face a real threat!
After failing in his attempt with Liu Ruyan, Ye Qiu headed to the Wuji Group.
When Ye Buyu saw that his young master Ye was seriously injured, he immediately became furious.
A terrifying aura emanated from his body: he was an expert at the mid-stage of the [Heaven] level.
However, this didn't surprise Ye Qiu.
The elder had sent Ye Buyu to protect him secretly precisely because of his strength.
"Young Ye, what happened? Let me treat your wounds first."
Ye Buyu, with the first aid kit in hand, asked with concern.
With a somber expression, Ye Qiu recounted what had happened.
When Ye Buyu learned that two experts at the early stage of the [Heaven] level had attacked Young Ye, he frowned and said:
"Those two… were they after the Liu family or after you?"
"Probably they were after me."
Ye Qiu responded through gritted teeth.
If their goal had been to kidnap Liu Ruyan, they could have done it then.
But they didn't, which proved that he was their true target.
"That's probably related to the mysterious man from last time."
Ye Buyu said darkly.
"It's my fault for not doing my job properly. Next time Young Ye acts, I'll accompany him. If they come back, I'll make them wish they were never born."
"Alright."
Ye Qiu, full of anger from being beaten, felt even more frustrated because what had happened with Liu Ruyan severely affected his plans.
Then he asked:
"What about the leader of the Dark Night organization? Is that guy Tang dead yet?"
"I asked yesterday. They said they need a bit more time."
"They should hurry. Also, tell them to investigate who those two people are."
With a face full of discontent, Ye Qiu grumbled, feeling disappointed by the efficiency of the Dark Night organization.
After a quick treatment in the office, physically and mentally exhausted, Ye Qiu returned home on his little electric scooter.
When he arrived, Lin Huanxi and her family were sitting at the table eating stew.
"I'm back."
Seeing them eat, Ye Qiu tried to break the silence.
However, the three of them ignored him and continued eating.
The silence was the greatest display of disdain, clearly reflecting the Lin family's current attitude toward him.
The incident at the restaurant last time had sent Old Man Lin to the hospital, where he was still being treated.
After being emotionally devastated, the elder had announced that he would sever all ties with them.
With this, how could they possibly show any goodwill toward Ye Qiu?
Faced with their indifference, Ye Qiu felt a mix of shame and sadness.
His father-in-law and mother-in-law ignored him, which he could tolerate.
But how was it possible that even his wife didn't look at him at all?
He was injured, didn't that matter to her in the slightest?
She hadn't been like this before.
Feeling he couldn't take it anymore, he finally dared to speak:
"Mom, Dad, Huanxi, there's something I want to tell you. Recently, at the park, I saved an old man who turned out to be the father of the director of Wuji Group."
"To thank me, he looked for me today and arranged a position for me as deputy director at Wuji Group."
"From now on, if Huanxi's company needs orders, just let me know."
He had initially wanted to keep a low profile.
But the cold attitude of Lin Huanxi and her parents had pushed him to his limit.
"Oh, really? Why didn't they just make you the general manager of Wuji Group?"
Hou Chuncai, unable to hold it in, mocked and made a sarcastic comment.
"It's true. Here's my credential. If you don't believe me, look."
Ye Qiu hurriedly responded, thinking that by showing his credentials, they would change their attitude toward him.
He pulled out the credential that Butler Ye had prepared and placed it on the table.
Hou Chuncai took it, glanced at it briefly, then handed it over to Lin Huanxi.
"Huanxi, look at this, this useless guy is lying again. Him, deputy director of Wuji Group? What a joke!"
Lin Huanxi glanced at it and said calmly:
"It's true."
"I told you it was a lie… What?! It's true?"
Hou Chuncai's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Yes, he's not lying."
Lin Huanxi nodded, put down her chopsticks, and said:
"I'm full. I'm going to work overtime at the company. You guys keep eating."
When Lin Huanxi left, Hou Chuncai and Lin Shengxi looked at each other, their expressions changing immediately.
Suddenly, they looked at Ye Qiu with a much friendlier attitude. Lin Shengxi exclaimed enthusiastically:
"I knew my son-in-law was destined for greatness. I wasn't wrong about you!"
"Grandma Huanxi had a good eye when choosing. A deputy director at Wuji Group is someone important, even the elder must respect him!"
Hou Chuncai also changed his attitude, becoming warm and affectionate. He took Ye Qiu by the arm and invited him to sit and eat with them.
After having completely lost support from the Lin family, they were desperate to find a new ally to cling to.
But Ye Qiu's heart had already turned cold.
His in-laws, those opportunistic people, could change their opinion or not, he didn't care.
Even if they died on the street, Ye Qiu wouldn't spare them a glance. He might even spit on them.
What worried him was whether Lin Huanxi would change her attitude toward him because of this.
However, she completely ignored him from beginning to end.
That contempt deeply hurt his heart, leaving him confused.
What was going on? Why had she become like this?
Even though he no longer had to depend on her financially, she still wouldn't even look at him for a moment.
Feeling deeply affected by sadness, he lost his appetite and retreated to his little storage room.
He took out his phone and opened his text message history.
Among them was a message he had sent to Yang Zhilan a few days ago.
She had replied with a simple "OK," but without confirming a time.
So he wrote another message:
"Do you have time to meet this afternoon?"
He felt really hurt at that moment.
His plan had failed, Lin Huanxi was ignoring him, and the double blow left him unable to bear the pressure.
He needed to see Yang Zhilan, that woman who loved him deeply, to pour out his wounded heart.
He wanted to tell her all the frustrations he had accumulated over the years.
Of course, if she was willing to comfort him physically, that would be even better.
In the past, to deceive her and make her believe that he loved her with all his soul, he had even avoided kissing her.
But now, it was time to recover all that in one go
