Chapter 423: Return To The Capital
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Upon arriving at the airport, Ye Chen got off the plane and headed straight for the university.
Before he left, he sent a message to his mother. However, even after he turned on his phone after the flight, he had not received a reply from her.
Thus, when he got off the plane, he deliberately made a few calls, but no one answered. Worried, he immediately quickened his pace.
About ten minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at his apartment unit. The door was ajar, but familiar laughter could be heard inside.
Ye Chen pushed the door open, and what he saw stunned him.
His mother was not cultivating. Instead, she was making dumplings in the living room. More importantly, his mother was not the only one in the room. There were also two beautiful girls.
Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue!
They had actually come to the capital?
Jiang Rong seemed to be in a good mood and kept smiling. She glanced at Ye Chen and said, “You’re back.”
After that, she turned her attention back to Sun Yi and Xia Ruoxue, and their conversation filled the living room with laughter.
Xia Ruoxue went to the kitchen to wash her hands, after which she walked over to Ye Chen.
“We just arrived this morning. The Heavenly Justice Group’s business focus is mainly in first-tier cities, so the capital is undoubtedly the best place for its headquarters.”
“Don’t you care how much your bank card is worth now?”
Xia Ruoxue giggled. She knew that Ye Chen did not care about money, but that string of numbers would still give most people a sense of accomplishment.
After all, it had only been half a year since the Heavenly Justice Group was founded in River City. In the past six months, it had become one of the most profitable groups in Huaxia.
Xia Ruoxue poured a glass of water for Ye Chen and suddenly thought of something. She stared at Ye Chen curiously and asked, “Just now, a beautiful female neighbor came to your house with something in her hand, but when she saw us, she ran away. Auntie chased after her, but she was already gone.”
Xia Ruoxue could vaguely tell that the beautiful girl had some relationship with Ye Chen. However, she did not feel too jealous.
Wei Ying?
Ye Chen’s expression changed slightly. When he had broken into the Ghost Prison, Wei Ying had helped him so much. She had even silently endured immense pain.
People with Fiendish Blood Cold Physiques only had two endings.
First, the physique would flare up, causing immense pain until the person finally died. Secondly, if the person could cultivate a technique that could suppress the physique, it would allow the person to live longer, and even become extremely powerful.
Although there were no cultivation techniques that were suitable for her back then, once he reached the unity realm, some of the techniques that Luo Yuntian had sealed were revealed.
One of them was called the Chilling Heart technique, which was suitable for Wei Ying.
Ye Chen glanced at the smiling Xia Ruoxue, who said, “Go and look for her. Sun Yi and I aren’t jealous girls. This girl is not a bad person. I can see that much from her eyes. Also, she might be a little naive. If she does something stupid, it would be quite sad.”
Xia Ruoxue’s reminder was not without reason. Ye Chen quickly dialed Wei Ying’s number, but her phone was switched off.
Ye Chen then called Ying Qing. With Dragon Soul’s help, it was too easy to find Wei Ying’s whereabouts. Two minutes later, Ying Qing called back.”Mr. Ye, Ms. Wei is now at the STIN Bar in Sanlitun, Capital City.”
“Send someone to help me keep an eye on her. Don’t let anything happen to her, and don’t let her drink alcohol.”
“Yes, Mr. Ye!”
Ye Chen shook his head helplessly and hung up. He hailed a taxi and headed straight for Sanlitun. After what had happened previously, this girl still decided to drink?
At Capital City’s STIN Bar, Wei Ying’s appearance lit up the entire bar.
After all, the girls who came to the bar were usually those with heavy makeup, so many of the men had never seen a girl like Wei Ying.
Even the bartender’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
“Beauty, what would you like to drink?”
“Wine… Alright.”
The bartender frowned but nodded.
“Alright.”
Not long after, a glass of pale red wine was placed in front of her.
“Beauty, please enjoy.”
Wei Ying stretched out her hand, but suddenly stopped. She recalled Ye Chen’s instructions. Ye Chen had told her not to drink. Even if she did drink, she had to be accompanied by Ye Chen.
She shook her head and looked at the wine in front of her. She even retracted her hand.
‘Forget it, I’m not drinking anymore.’
At this moment, a few tattooed men walked up.
“Beauty, drinking alone?”
One of the men wanted to put his arm around Wei Ying’s waist, but at this moment, a pair of hands appeared out of thin air.
Kacha!
The man’s hand was broken, and was promptly thrown out mercilessly!
The other men who approached Wei Ying suffered the same outcome!
The tattooed men who had fallen to the ground were filled with rage. However, just as they were about to curse, they realized that there were five people beside Wei Ying, and all of them were tall and sturdy men who clearly had some sort of fighting experience.
They emitted an extremely dangerous aura, and as their cold gazes swept across the crowd, everyone subconsciously retreated.
The tattooed men swallowed their words.
No one dared to stand close to Wei Ying.
One of the five men even took away the wine glass in front of Wei Ying.
“Miss Wei, Mr. Ye said that you shouldn’t drink.”
When Wei Ying heard the name “Mr. Ye,” she looked at the five men in surprise.
She did not expect Ye Chen to be so capable. Not only did he find her so easily, but he also had these people guard her and keep her from drinking.
“He’s back?” Wei Ying asked in surprise.
The leader nodded.
“Mr. Ye is on his way.”
Hearing this, Wei Ying’s face revealed a trace of joy. She stood up and said, “Let’s go. I’m not drinking today.”
