Chapter 297: Chapter 297: Hair-Raising

Duan Xinyuan took a while to realize that the speaker was the Blood Flood Dragon; he had seen the Blood Flood Dragon’s true form, which was an extremely terrifying beast.

Qin Yi frowned slightly, "If that’s the case, with the Soul-devouring Demon possessing a host and living among people as a normal human, it’s really not easy to find it."

"Family Head Duan, have you had someone investigate this person’s coworkers? The Soul-devouring Demon might have possessed one of them after killing this person."

Duan Xinyuan said, "I’ve checked, and there’s nothing!"

"By the way, this person is an employee of Jian’an Company. The new development by General Manager Xia has a collaboration with Jian’an Company. You’d better remind General Manager Xia to be careful and try to avoid going to the construction site lately."

Qin Yi nodded slightly.

Qin Yi reminded, "You better investigate again; the Soul-devouring Demon has appeared for several days, and the death toll is definitely more than just this one person."

Duan Xinyuan nodded, "I’ll send someone to investigate immediately."

"How’s the thing I asked you to handle?"

Duan Xinyuan was slightly taken aback, "Are you talking about the matter of seeing the Azure Dragon Guardian God? I’ve already notified the Liu Family."

Qin Yi nodded, and the two of them then left the hospital and went their separate ways.

...

At the Xia Group, in the General Manager’s office!

"Get out of here!"

Suddenly, an angry voice came from the office.

The secretaries outside were startled; they had never seen General Manager Xia so furious. What did the boss of Jian’an Company do to provoke General Manager Xia?

The secretary, worried something might happen, poured two cups of tea and brought them in.

In the office, there were only three people: Xia Yanbing, a man over fifty years old who was the boss of Jian’an Company, Zhang Chengshao, and another younger man, Zhang Chengshao’s assistant, Chen Hua.

Xia Yanbing’s lovely face was filled with anger; typically, Zhang Chengshao would always greet her politely, but today he was noticeably different, daring enough to flirt with her openly.

"General Manager Xia, are you okay?"

The secretary came in with the tea and asked cautiously.

Xia Yanbing did not respond, standing behind her desk with a cold gaze fixed on Zhang Chengshao, "From now on, the cooperation between the Xia Group and Jian’an Company is over. Both of you, get out immediately."

Zhang Chengshao, in his fifties, had worked hard on construction sites when he was younger, making him look older than his actual age, with graying hair.

He grinned, showing his yellow teeth, speaking in a strange tone, "General Manager Xia, I gave you a chance to be my woman because I think highly of you. Don’t be ungrateful. If it weren’t for your looks, I wouldn’t even take you for free."

Xia Yanbing’s lovely face turned livid with anger, and she immediately pressed the intercom on her desk to call security.

Xia Yanbing’s secretary, Song Shanshan, was in shock. The Jian’an Group makes its money from the Xia Group; was Zhang Chengshao tired of living, daring to speak to General Manager Xia like that?

Zhang Chengshao sneered, "General Manager Xia, give me an answer whether you want to be my woman or not. Agree, and you and your family will live well. Refuse, and I’ll forcibly take you right now."

Xia Yanbing was enraged; no one had ever dared to be so insolent in front of her before.

"Shut your filthy mouth."

Fuming with anger, Xia Yanbing picked up a coffee cup from the desk and threw it at Zhang Chengshao.

Xia Yanbing wasn’t quick to anger; Zhang Chengshao had truly disgusted her.

However, a shocking scene unfolded.

Zhang Chengshao waved his hand, and a black aura shot out, smashing the coffee cup with a bang, shattering it to pieces on the floor.

Xia Yanbing was stunned, not expecting Zhang Chengshao to be a Qi Refiner.

Song Shanshan was astonished; she had never seen anything like this before.

However, Xia Yanbing quickly composed herself, remembering that her man was Qin Yi, powerful like a god, how many Qi Refiners had he killed?

"So you’re a Qi Refiner, no wonder you’re so audacious, daring to act this way?"

Zhang Chengshao was slightly surprised, "I never expected you to know about Qi Refiners? Since you know their power, you should also know the consequences of resisting me."

Xia Yanbing coldly chuckled, seemingly calm as she slowly sat down, speaking with a cold tone, "So what if you’re a Qi Refiner? The Duan Family are the Guardians of Yinfeng City. Aren’t you afraid they’ll come after you if you get reckless?"

"Moreover, you might not know, but my husband is Qin Yi. As a Qi Refiner, you should have heard of him. Many Qi Refiners have died by his hand."

As Xia Yanbing spoke, she discreetly took out her phone and dialed Qin Yi’s number.

At that moment, Qin Yi was on his way home. Seeing Xia Yanbing’s call, he answered with a smile.

Zhang Chengshao sneered, "What Duan Family, what Qin Yi? I’ve never heard of them. I’m giving you two choices now. First, be with me and become my woman. Second, I’ll take you forcefully right now."

Xia Yanbing was furious, "Zhang Chengshao, you’re dead! Just for saying these things, my husband will never let you go."

On the other end, Qin Yi called out a few times but didn’t hear a response from Xia Yanbing. Then, he heard words that made his blood boil with anger.

Qin Yi’s eyes turned icy-cold, immediately turning his car around and speeding towards the Xia Group.

Here, Zhang Chengshao still had a face full of disdain, "It seems General Manager Xia chose the second option, so don’t blame me for being ruthless."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked towards Xia Yanbing.

Xia Yanbing’s face was cold. She had the Death Replacement Talisman set by Qin Yi on her; no one could harm her.

Just then, four security guards rushed in.

"General Manager Xia, do you have any orders for us?" a security guard asked respectfully.

Xia Yanbing said, "Nothing for now; please wait outside."

She knew the terror of Qi Refiners, something ordinary people couldn’t handle. These four security guards were definitely not Zhang Chengshao’s match.

"Shanshan, you go out too!"

Song Shanshan was worried about Xia Yanbing, concerned about what would happen if Zhang Chengshao harmed General Manager Xia once they were gone.

"I warn you, don’t mess around, or I’ll call the police!" Song Shanshan took out her phone and waved it, warning the two men before she and the four security guards walked out.

However, Zhang Chengshao, who was initially walking toward Xia Yanbing, suddenly turned around, waved his hand, and the office door slammed shut automatically with a bang.

In the next second, Zhang Chengshao’s figure suddenly blurred and appeared in front of a security guard, then struck the guardian’s forehead with his palm.

With a cracking sound, the security guard’s head was smashed open, resembling a split watermelon, with blood gushing out.

Xia Yanbing’s eyes widened in horror, her face turning pale with disbelief. She couldn’t believe Zhang Chengshao dared to kill someone so blatantly.

Song Shanshan screamed in terror, collapsing to the ground as her legs gave way. She had never witnessed such a horrific scene, someone being killed with a single palm strike.

The other three security guards were so terrified that they stumbled backward, almost falling over.

Zhang Chengshao grinned and laughed sinisterly, "What a pity I hit too hard; otherwise, it could have been a snack."
