42: Chapter 41 We concede 42: Chapter 41 We concede Sudden applause and mocking startled everyone.

They immediately looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a young man in black standing at the railing on the second floor, smiling at them.

He carried a Tang Knife on his back, and his vest was adorned with various blackened throwing darts and short blades…

This attire was clearly not that of a guest.

“Great-grandfather, that’s Chu Yi!”

Zheng Jiahao recognized Chu Yi at a glance and immediately jumped up and shouted.

Old Master Zheng was in a standoff with Chu Yi, trying to outstare him, but when Zheng Jiahao shouted like that, Old Master Zheng lost in stature to Chu Yi and glanced at Zheng Jiahao furiously.

“Qi Shi, manage your son properly.”

Zheng Qishi’s face turned ugly as he nodded, and even without saying a word, Zheng Jiahao could feel a chill all over.

He was probably in for some trouble…

At that moment, Old Master Zheng turned his attention back to Chu Yi and barked, “Young man, how did you get in?”

“I came in through the front door.”

“Impossible!”

The Zheng family members all exclaimed in disbelief, not one of them believing it.

That was no wonder.

On the surface, the Zheng family were businessmen, but given all the dealings they had behind the scenes, how could they not employ a number of house servants?

No, in this day and age, it should be called security.

The entire estate, including both visible and hidden security personnel, totaled at least over a hundred people, all well-trained, some even coming from special forces.

Equipped with stun guns, riot forks, anti-cut nets, and other weapons, no one could break in on their own without a gun.

Faced with their skepticism, Chu Yi spread his hands, “Believe it or not.”

Indeed, stun guns and anti-cut nets are indeed tricky to handle.

But no matter how good one’s agility, once a net is thrown over someone’s head and a stun gun is used a few times, anyone would fall.

Unless one’s agility is so high that they can evade anti-cut nets and stun guns.

Old Master Zheng’s eyebrows furrowed, clearly considering this possibility.

“Send someone to check the front door.”

“Yes.”

Zheng Qishi immediately ordered a young man to run the errand.

Meanwhile, Old Master Zheng spoke indifferently, “Young man, regardless of how you got in, daring to intrude into the Zheng family alone does show some skill.

I heard there was a small dispute between you and Zheng Jiahao, is that so?”

Chu Yi wiggled his finger, “That’s no small dispute, that guy wanted to force me to commit suicide, which is no different from stabbing me in the back.”

“But you were unharmed, whereas Zheng Jiahao ended up being beaten for nothing, losing face and wasting millions.

In my view, let’s just let bygones be bygones, shall we?”

Upon hearing Old Master Zheng’s words, Chu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and after a few seconds, he suddenly chuckled, then flipped over to sit on the railing, looking down at the old man from above.

“Old man, I can see right through that guy, how can you say such a thing with a straight face?

Oh, so just because he failed to harm me, it’s his loss?

That’s not reasonable.”

With these words, the Zheng family members became incensed and stood up pounding the table.

The old and the young, all wore looks of fury.

“How dare you speak to our family’s patriarch like that!”

“Utterly arrogant!

Don’t think that just because the Han family is protecting you, you can do whatever you want.”

“Daring to run wild in the Zheng household, are you tired of living!”

Hearing the wave of condemnation and calls to attack, Chu Yi spread his hands towards Zheng Jiahao’s grandfather, “Did you hear that?

Your people clearly don’t intend to let me go, so as I said, things can’t end amicably.”

“Humph!

What a tone you have there.

Can’t end amicably?

On what basis?”

“Do you think our Zheng Family is made of mud?

Take a good look at your own limit.”

“Even the Han Family wouldn’t dare to make such bold claims, yet you, a green boy, dare to do so.

Truly audacious beyond belief!”

Amidst another round of scolding, neither Chu Yi nor the Zheng family’s old master were paying attention; they were both waiting.

Shortly after, the old master of the Zheng family got what he was waiting for.

The errand boy ran back as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of terror.

As soon as he entered, he collapsed on the ground with a thud.

“They’re dead!

All dead…

Blood all the way!”

With these words, the room fell into shock.

From the main gate to here, there were at least fifty people!

All dead?!

What’s worst was that so many were dead and yet their own side was completely unaware.

If it weren’t for this kid coming out on his own, they might still be in the dark.

This…

The crowd looked at Chu Yi with faces full of horror, finally understanding he wasn’t just tired of living but rather he was fearless.

Just when the air seemed to solidify, the Zheng family’s old master broke the silence.

“Boy, all those people had families to support; it was just a job for them.

Yet you killed them just like that—are you not afraid of retribution?”

Chu Yi’s lips curled, “Indeed, the older the ginger, the more spicy it gets.

Trying to induce a heart devil in me as soon as you open your mouth?”

The so-called heart devil, though it sounds quite mystical, is actually…

Just overthinking or fixating on something.

What was considered a heart devil in ancient times would probably be diagnosed as depression, autism, bipolar disorder, and other mental illnesses today.

And at this moment, the old master of the Zheng Family wanted Chu Yi to feel guilty, thus destroying him.

It’s like accusing a soldier who has been on the battlefield of being an executioner, saying all the people he killed were civilians.

If Chu Yi fell for it, he would likely develop symptoms similar to ‘post-traumatic stress disorder’.

Unfortunately, although Chu Yi was young, he was not as fragile as he thought.

“Humph, to kill innocents without remorse, you, such a person, deserve to die!”

As the old master of the Zheng Family’s words fell, the front door suddenly opened and dozens of people rushed in, armed with compound crossbows, aiming at Chu Yi sitting on the railing.

Without guns, a repeating crossbow could still be a highly lethal weapon.

Facing the cold, gleaming arrowheads of dozens of crossbows, Chu Yi not only didn’t panic but instead raised both hands, “Ah, how terrifying.

Can I surrender?

Let’s just part ways then.”

“Humph!”

The response came in a cold snort from the old master of the Zheng Family, accompanied by a soft command, “Release.”

In an instant, dozens of crossbow bolts whistled through the air, enveloping Chu Yi completely.

But the scene that followed made everyone’s jaws nearly drop, including the old master of the Zheng Family.

Chu Yi was still sitting on the railing, shaking his head, leaning sideways, twisting left and right; and after a mere two seconds, he was still sitting there with crossbow bolts stuck all around and behind him.

It looked as if…

a human outline had been drawn.

The Zheng Family’s people knew there were various remarkable individuals in the world and had even had numerous encounters, but they had never seen anything quite like this.

Sitting there and dodging dozens of crossbow bolts was an astonishing feat that left the Zheng Family members unable to recover their senses for some time.

A silence reigned that was so deep one could hear a pin drop, which the Zheng family’s old master eventually broke.

“Young brother, our Zheng Family admits defeat.”
