Chapter 258: Chapter 255: My Wife Says to Be a Good Person

"Mr. Chu, we brought in Ye Mengjie, but he refuses to disclose the mastermind behind it all. No matter what we ask, he insists that he just wanted to ride on Qin Zhao’s popularity."

When Chu Yan received the phone call, his eyes darkened slightly.

"Can’t even get that out of him? Are you all useless?"

His tone did not show anger; rather, it was slow and methodical. But this calm tone made the person on the other end of the call feel even more fearful.

After all, Mr. Chu was capable of killing someone just as calmly and politely.

"We’ll ask again, we’ll definitely get the answers you want!"

"No need, take him to the underground boxing ring. I’ll ask him myself."

The other party was startled but quickly complied.

After hanging up the phone, there was a flurry of activity on the other end.

It had been a long time since Chu Yan had shown up at these grey industry locations; usually, Qi Ling would go, while he directed from behind the scenes.

Now that he suddenly decided to come, they naturally couldn’t disregard his presence.

Chu Yan didn’t drive himself to the underground boxing ring; instead, he called Qi Ling to come pick him up.

After the incident with the explosion, their relationship had eased somewhat. That had been Qi Ling’s peer’s doing, fearing that he might get involved in the drug industry and cut into their share.

Besides, Chu Yan had made it clear he would handle that issue himself, and would clearly demarcate those assets under his name afterward as unrelated.

Considering future developments, Qi Ling eventually dismissed the idea.

Without Chu Yan, he wouldn’t be where he was today. He knew well that if Chu Yan and he were to part ways, and if there were any interest conflicts later, Chu Yan’s kind would definitely not show mercy.

He understood very well what kind of person Chu Yan was, so he did not want to become enemies with him. Such an enemy would be troublesome, full of schemes and deceptions, and one could easily be ruined if not careful.

In terms of scheming and intelligence, Qi Ling was far behind Chu Yan; he didn’t dare take that risk.

Qi Ling arrived, and Chu Yan wore a casual black hoodie due to the cold, pulling the hood over his head and wearing a mask, leaving only his narrow and cold Phoenix Eyes visible.

From afar, his imposing aura was chilling, deterring anyone from making direct eye contact. Compared to his usual suave appearance in a suit, this was a stark, gloomy contrast.

Chu Yan got into the passenger seat without saying a word, and Qi Ling drove towards the underground boxing ring.

After a long while, Qi Ling asked, "What’s with Ye Mengjie?"

Chu Yan, being the CEO of Huasheng Biomedical Group and having a deep connection with Lu Tingming, had planned to live in the sunlight since returning to the Lu Family, rarely dealing with matters of the grey industry.

But, with this Ye Mengjie, Chu Yan was even willing to go in person, which definitely meant something unusual.

Chu Yan glanced at him coldly, "Don’t you go online?"

"No time."

"Search Qin Zhao online, and you’ll understand."

"...."

Qi Ling understood; it must be related to Qin Zhao.

Anything to do with Qin Zhao always drew his special attention, and sometimes it even made him lose control. The relationship between him and Chu Yan was such that just chatting with Qin Zhao nearly got him beaten up...

Actually, the last time he had sent someone to find Qin Zhao, Qi Ling had not intended to hurt her. He was just curious about what kind of woman she was that could make Chu Yan fall for her so deeply.

He was single and didn’t understand these feelings.

Qi Ling drove at a high speed, carelessly running red lights in his expensive sports car, reveling in the feeling of high speed.

When he ran a red light for the third time, Chu Yan frowned.

"Can you not run red lights?"

"Why not? It’s my driver’s license on the line, not yours."

"It’s violating traffic rules."

"???"

Really, could you not be so righteous?

"I’m really not used to this!"

Qi Ling turned his head and looked over with an expression as if he were seeing a monster.

By this time, they had already arrived.

Chu Yan ignored Qi Ling’s gaze and got out of the car, then he entered the underground boxing ring.

"Chu Yan, have you been having mental issues lately?"

Qi Ling parked the car and, somewhat speechlessly, followed him in.

"Do you know what my wife has hanging at home?"

"Huh?" Why suddenly bring up your wife??

"Heroism, social conscience."

"???"

Chu Yan patted a bewildered Qi Ling on the back, speaking earnestly, "I think being a good person is quite nice."

Qi Ling almost believed him, not expecting that someone like Chu Yan could have a day of turning over a new leaf. He even felt a bit sad, thinking that Chu Yan would part ways with him in the future.

That is, until they entered the underground boxing ring and Chu Yan was pounding Ye Mengjie into half-dead on the ground; then he understood that everything Chu Yan said was a bunch of lies!

A good person? You’re only a good person in front of Qin Zhao!

Ye Mengjie was hung up in the ring like a punching bag, surrounded by onlooking subordinates. They found out that Chu Yan was coming today, so they had closed for business.

"Who directed you?"

With a loud punch, Chu Yan hit Ye Mengjie in the face.

He was already spitting blood, and now, even his teeth fell out.

Everyone witnessing this scene felt a twinge of pain in their faces and a sourness in their teeth, mentally lighting a candle for the guy.

The old employees couldn’t help but recall the years ago when Chu Yan hadn’t been in charge here; he was just an underground fighter in the ring. At first, every fighter looked down on him, not taking him seriously.

But later on, everyone would uncontrollably shiver at the sight of him.

Fights in the underground boxing ring involved signing life-and-death agreements.

It meant that if you beat your opponent to death, it was okay.

Nowadays, the government’s crackdown was strict, so very few fighters actually beat their opponents to death. But when it came to Chu Yan, he always won, and his opponents always died.

Not dying in the ring, but suddenly passing away shortly after they got home.

No one knew why, and the police couldn’t figure it out.

Initially, they thought it was an accident, but later, Chu Yan became like a curse; anyone who fought him in the ring wound up dead.

And the fighters’ identities were always fake; the police never approached Chu Yan.

Even if they did find him, they probably wouldn’t be able to dig up anything.

In the ring, Chu Yan’s gaze was cold as he methodically adjusted his boxing gloves.

He asked nonchalantly, "Still not willing to talk?"

"I-I’ll talk!"

Ye Mengjie’s voice was muffled, his consciousness fading.

He felt as though he was on the edge of death, his whole body numb, his ears buzzing. The handsome, striking man before him even started to appear as a double image!

"It was Xu Xingwen who found me."

Ye Mengjie said, breath faint.

"He directed me to slander Qin Zhao; the Xu Family could invest in my new movie."

Originally, he planned to stubbornly withhold the name behind it all, for the Xu Family were no saints either. He only wanted to cultivate a good relationship with the Xu Family, not become an enemy to them.

But he had underestimated these people; they were even more terrifying than the Xu Family!
