Chapter 101: Luo Mingde Makes a Move on Ye Chen


    “Thest time I tried to kill Ye Chen, it was a situation where his death was certain, yet he somehow managed to escape.”


    Chen Luo was referring to the time they attempted to kill Jin Sanye, where the main target was actually Ye Chen. Despite thebined efforts of Chen Luo, Qiu Zhu, Dong Ju, and Ah Da, Ye Chen miraculously slipped through their fingers, with Chen Luo not holding anything back.


    And then there was the kidnapping of Xiao Qingxue. Armed with a sniper rifle, Chen Luo failed to hit Ye Chen, as if Ye Chen had some kind of premonition or omniscient power.


    That incident made Chen Luo doubt his master-level marksmanship skills, almost driving him to despair.


    “Does that mean Ye Chen can’t be killed?” Xiao Qingxue looked upset.


    “Of course not. Just wait, he’ll definitely die by my hand. I promised to avenge you, and I will keep that promise.” Chen Luo spoke softly, giving Xiao Qingxue a gentle kiss on the lips.


    Xiao Qingxue nestled in Chen Luo’s arms, seemingly starting to enjoy it.


    “Hmph,” Zhao Yingxuan let out a cold snort.


    Chen Luo could tell she was jealous, but a jealous Zhao Yingxuan was beneficial to him, as it meant she would go out of her way to please him.A slight smile appeared on Xiao Qingxue’s lips, as if she and Zhao Yingxuan were natural-born rivals. Xiao Qingxue’s happiness grew with Zhao Yingxuan’s dissatisfaction.


    “Damn, that woman is smirking.”


    Zhao Yingxuan caught sight of Xiao Qingxue’s smug smile, her anger intensifying, silently vowing to teach her a lessonter.


    The following day, Chen Luo obtained two more artificial humans via a system trade, whimsically naming them Ah Er and Ah San. He named them straightforwardly as they weren’t important, a simple codename would suffice.


    Unlike Ah Da, Ah Er and Ah San didn’t possess imposing physiques; Ah San, in particr, seemed notably slender. Nheless, their physical appearance had no bearing on theirbat effectiveness. Whether it was Ah Da, Ah Er, or Ah San, theirbat strengths were identical, each acquired for 150 million through the system.


    With them, Chen Luo personally visited the Luo family.


    “Mr. Luo, I’ve brought the people you requested.”


    “Are you sure they are as strong as Ah Da?” Luo Mingde skeptically sized up Ah San, whose frail appearance raised doubts about his strength.


    “Mr. Luo, appearances can be deceiving. Their capabilities are quite simr. Ah San, demonstrate your strength,” Chen Luo instructed.


    Ah San stamped heavily on the floor, causing numerous cracks to form. This disy convinced Luo Mingde of his strength. He knew how sturdy his own floors were, not to mention the concrete beneath them that also cracked.


    “Excellent,” Luo Mingde expressed his approval with a smile.


    “I apologize for my earlier skepticism. Please ept this painting as an apology.”


    Luo Mingde removed a painting from the wall, “Spring Mountain Companion” by Tang Yin, presenting it as a genuine artifact, a significant gesture of goodwill from Luo Mingde. Valued at around a million, the painting was a priceless treasure to those who truly appreciated art.


    “I’ll dly ept this painting, thank you for your generous gift, Mr. Luo.”


    Chen Luo warmly epted the painting. Though not an art connoisseur himself, owning a few valuable pieces wasn’t bad.


    “These two are now in your care, Mr. Luo. I have other matters to attend to and won’t stay long.”


    With the painting in hand, Chen Luo made his exit, aware that Luo Mingde would likely soon direct Ah Er and Ah San to target Ye Chen. It was unnecessary to take up more of Luo Mingde’s time.


    Truthfully, Chen Luo was somewhat eager to see how Luo Mingde’s intervention would unfold.


    After Chen Luo left, Luo Mingde also summoned Ah Da.


    “You three, no matter what, you must kill this person.”


    He handed them a photograph, intended primarily for Ah Er and Ah San’s benefit, since Ah Da was already familiar with Ye Chen.


    Once Ah Er and Ah San acknowledged the order, Luo Mingde dispatched them. He was prepared to provide information on Ye Chen’s whereabouts, having kept him under surveince.


    “Brother, if we kill Ye Chen, we’ll be antagonizing both the Wang and Li families. Is it really worth it?”


    Luo Mingfeng, Luo Mingde’s brother, expressed his concerns after learning of the n to eliminate Ye Chen.


    “I’ve discussed it with the old man, he has given his tacit approval.”


    Indeed, the Luo family’s old patriarch had tacitly allowed him to take action against Ye Chen. The patriarch was very fond of Luo Zixuan, who hadn’t been discharged from the hospital yet, and harbored a deep hatred for Ye Chen.


    “So father approved.”


    Hearing that the Luo family patriarch had given his tacit approval, Luo Mingfeng didn’t say anything more.


    “Still, big brother, you should be careful. There are those within the Luo family aiming to undermine you,” Luo Mingfeng advised Luo Mingde.


    “Hmph, let them try,” Luo Mingde snorted coldly, disdainful of those in the family whocked ability but not ambition, and coveted the Luo family’s assets.


    “Big brother, I know you have the means to handle them, but Zixuan might not be able to hold them at bay in the future,” Luo Mingfeng pointed out the potential weakness in their strategy, doubting Luo Zixuan’s ability to control the family’s internal strife.


    “When the timees, I’ll make sure Zixuan faces no obstacles,” Luo Mingde dered, his eyes briefly shing with determination.


    Meanwhile, Ah Da and the others, using the intel from the Luo family, had tracked down Ye Chen, trapping him in an isted spot perfect for confrontation.


    “You again.”


    Ye Chen’s eyes, filled with cold light, fixed on Ah Da. He and Ah Da were old acquaintances by now. Although Ah Da was officially Luo Zixuan’s bodyguard, Ye Chen suspected Ah Da was Chen Luo’s man.


    “Let’s get started,” said the stoic Ah Da,unching the first strike. His attack, powerful and direct, targeted Ye Chen’s head.


    As Ah Da initiated the assault, Ah Er and Ah San simultaneouslyunched their own attacks. Ah Er aimed for Ye Chen’s lower body, while Ah San targeted the back of his head.


    Faced with imminent danger, Ye Chen’s acute senses went on high alert. He met Ah Da’s punch head-on, managing to fend him off while skillfully blocking Ah Er’s attack with his leg.


    Ye Chen managed to grab Ah San’s wrist and flung him away forcefully. His strength had evidently improved since theirst encounter, making it difficult for Ah Da to defeat him in a one-on-one fight now.


    “These two are very strong.”


    Ye Chen cautiously nced at Ah Er and Ah San. These two neers were no less formidable than the bulky Ah Da. Thebined attack of the three posed a significant threat to Ye Chen.


    Ah San pulled out a short dagger and agilely attacked Ye Chen like a spry monkey. Being slim had its advantages as the de shed through Ye Chen’s clothing.


    “You think you’re the only one with a knife?”


    Ye Chen also carried a dagger for self-defense, which he used to block Ah San’s short dagger and then sidestep to avoid Ah Da’s punch.


    However, it was hard to fight against multiple opponents, especially when there were six hands involved. Ah Er’s sweeping leg kick caught Ye Chen off-guard, sending him tumbling to the ground.


    “Die,” shouted Ah Er, aiming a deadly kick at Ye Chen’s head. Simultaneously, Ah San seized the opportunity to thrust his dagger at Ye Chen.


    “Get lost.”


    In a desperate move, Ye Chen took the hit from Ah San’s knife tounch a counterattack, elbowing Ah Er away. However, he was immediately sent flying by a powerful punch from Ah Da.


    Clutching his abdomen, Ye Chen managed to stand. He had tried his best to avoid vital areas but was still stabbed in the abdomen by Ah San’s dagger. The punch from Ah Da left his chest aching.


    Outnumbered, Ye Chen found himself at a disadvantage against the trio’s coordinated attacks.
