Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Feeling the coldness on his neck, the assassin glared at Ye Chen and spoke.

"You're dreaming! I'd rather die than reveal the organization's secrets!"

As he spoke, the assassin turned to face Ye Chen, displaying an expression of unwavering resolve.

But the hand behind his back secretly reached for his wrist.

Ye Chen frowned slightly and said coldly, "It seems you won't confess unless I show some sincerity!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen raised his hand and two silver needles appeared in his hand.

At that moment, the assassin revealed a sinister smile.

"go to hell!"

Instantly, two steel needles gleaming with a green light shot out from the assassin's chest.

At such close range, even a master martial artist would find it difficult to dodge.

The assassin's eyes were filled with malice, as if he could already see Ye Chen's death.

But the next moment, his expression froze on the spot.

Because his sure-fire killing move was easily countered by Ye Chen.

Ye Chen held the two steel needles in his hand and twitched his nose.

"Seven-step snake venom, not bad stuff, perfect for making use of waste."

As he spoke, Ye Chen twirled the steel needle in his hand and thrust it downwards fiercely.

The assassin had just opened his mouth, about to let out a scream, when Ye Chen covered it tightly with his hand.

Seeing Ye Chen's warning look, the assassin's eyes widened in fear, wondering what Ye Chen was planning to do.

Then, Ye Chen held another steel needle upright in front of his mouth.

He made a shushing gesture and said, "Don't shout, don't disturb my wife."

As he spoke, Ye Chen turned around and looked tenderly at Ji Ruoyu, who was still fast asleep in the back seat.

The assassin was completely bewildered. "You're stabbing me with steel needles and you won't even let me scream? Are you a devil?"

However, the assassin only dared to grumble in his heart and dared not say it out loud, because he was already a little scared.

Seeing the assassin's expression, Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and said, "So, do you have anything to say?"

The assassin gritted his teeth upon hearing this, appearing determined to fight to the death.

Seeing this, Ye Chen didn't waste any words. He reached out and covered the assassin's mouth, then thrust out the steel needle.

The assassin trembled all over, but because his mouth was covered, he couldn't even scream.

Once the assassin calmed down, Ye Chen released his grip and asked, "So, do you have anything to say?"

"You should know very well that if the venom of the Seven-Step Snake isn't neutralized within three minutes, you're dead."

"A minute has passed now, and your time is running out."

Upon hearing this, the assassin's eyes trembled, and his psychological defenses were on the verge of being broken.

Seeing this, Ye Chen covered the assassin's mouth again, preparing to strike again.

The assassin, his mouth covered, stared at Ye Chen with terror in his eyes.

Ye Chen pulled out a steel needle and plunged it in again.

"Waaah! Waaah!" The assassin trembled violently, then suddenly his eyes rolled back.

Ye Chen frowned upon seeing this, checked his pulse, and found he was dead.

That shouldn't be the case; the venom of the seven-step snake shouldn't be that fast.

Just then, Ye Chen saw the assassin's face turn dark.

Raising an eyebrow, I realized that these symptoms did indeed indicate death from poisoning, but not from the venom of the seven-step snake.

Ye Chen released the assassin's mouth and checked it, but found no hidden poison.

Ye Chen quickly discovered the cause of the assassin's death: the ring he was wearing.

There is a mechanism on one side of the ring; a poison needle will pop out with the slightest force.

This was originally intended for a sneak attack, but unexpectedly it was used for suicide.

Ye Chen found no information about the assassin's identity on his body.

After glancing at the time, Ye Chen dialed Du Haijun's number.

Upon learning that Ye Chen had been assassinated, Du Haijun immediately became tense.

"I'll leave the body here. You can arrange for someone to dispose of it later, and while you're at it, check the person's identity."

"Yes, young master. Do you need someone to protect you?"

Ye Chen said calmly, "No need, but you can arrange two lookouts for my wife."

"It's the young master!"

Ye Chen hung up the phone, threw the body out, and got back into his car.

Looking at Ji Ruoyu and Su Mengyao, who were leaning against each other and sleeping soundly in the back seat.

A wry smile appeared on his face, and he drove the car towards the Ji family's residence.

Not long after Ye Chen's car left, three black vans pulled up on the side of the road.

Du Haijun got out of the car, followed by more than a dozen people.

"Clean up the surrounding area, take the body back, and I need results within three days."

Du Haijun's voice was cold, and those around him fell silent, immediately taking action.

If word gets back that the young master was assassinated on his own turf, he'll probably be fired.

The group moved quickly, and in less than ten minutes, all traces around them were erased.

The body was loaded onto the vehicle, and Du Haijun glanced around again.

After confirming that nothing was missing, they got into the car and left...

At Daqin International Group, Qin Zihao was sipping red wine, waiting for a beautiful woman to arrive.

Qin Zihao glanced at the time on the wall and frowned slightly.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door.

A smile appeared on Qin Zihao's face, and his heart began to burn with excitement.

However, his face quickly turned cold, because the person who came in was not the one he wanted to see.

The middle-aged man bowed his head and said respectfully, "Young Master Qin, the assassination attempt failed."

"Guo Tu, is this the result of your work?" Qin Zihao's tone was very displeased.

"I'm sorry, Young Master Qin, I underestimated Ye Chen. His strength may be even greater than I imagined."

Qin Zihao frowned upon hearing this and said, "I don't want to hear this nonsense. I need a result."

"By the way, has the matter of that old hag from the Ji family been investigated?"

Guo Tu nodded and said, "It has been found out that Ye Chen saved the great-grandmother of the Ji family."

"However, our hidden hand should not have been discovered yet. The death of the Ji family's great-grandmother is only a matter of time."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zihao coldly replied, "It's Ye Chen again. This person is troublesome, and I hate trouble."

"And before that old woman dies, we must get our hands on the formula for Ji's Whitening Cream, understand?"

"Understood, I'll handle this personally," Guo Tu said, standing up.

Qin Zihao didn't speak, but nodded slightly. He believed that if Guo Tu made a move, Ye Chen would surely die.

After all, Guo Tu was a master of the Great Martial Master realm, and there were very few people in Martial City who could fight him...

The next morning, Ye Chen returned to the villa after finishing his boxing practice.

Li Ruoyu and Su Mengyao also just came out of the room, and they both slept very soundly.

She couldn't even remember how she got back to her room. When she saw Ye Chen come in, Li Ruoyu suddenly blushed.

Because last night, she had a dream that was somewhat inappropriate for children.

Su Mengyao, standing to the side, said nonchalantly, "I'm starving! Is there anything to eat?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ruoyu led Su Mengyao toward the restaurant, with Ye Chen following along.

However, they got up late today, and only Great-Grandma was left in the restaurant, still sipping her porridge.

Su Mengyao quickly greeted them, and her great-grandmother also took care of her during the meal.

With no one to bother them, the meal was very enjoyable, and Su Mengyao said goodbye to Ji Ruoyu afterward.

Ji Ruoyu drove Ye Chen towards Yan Ruyu's company.

The car soon arrived at the company parking lot, where Wang Ergou was on guard duty.

Upon seeing President Ji's car, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

However, not long after President Ji's car entered the parking lot.

Ye Chen strolled out of the parking lot.

Upon seeing this scene, Wang Ergou trembled, and many thoughts immediately came to mind.

At the same time, their admiration for Ye Chen was like a surging river.

Ye Chen had no idea what Wang Ergou was thinking.

After offering some encouragement, he went into the duty room to change his clothes.

Just as he finished changing his clothes and was about to go to his shift to change guard duty, Wang Ergou approached him with a hesitant look on his face.

"Brother, there's something I don't know, but I can't say it!"

Ye Chen frowned and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't be so long-winded, you're a grown man."

Upon hearing this, Wang Ergou quickly said, "Brother, it's like this. This morning, the young lady arrived very early, bringing a group of people with her. It seems like she came with ill intentions."

Ye Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this, patted Wang Ergou on the shoulder and said, "Ergou, do you know what the responsibility of security is? It's to protect the lives and property of the people in the company..."

"No matter who it is, if they come into the company and cause trouble, we will treat them all the same, understand?"

"I understand! But that's the young lady, we..." Wang Ergou looked timid and hesitant.

"What's wrong with the young lady? The young lady can't act recklessly on our turf."

"Now bring your men and come with me. I want to see who dares to cause trouble on my turf!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen got up and walked upstairs. Wang Ergou hesitated for a moment upon seeing this.

In the end, however, he gritted his teeth and led his men to follow Ye Chen.
