613: Chapter 613 Shanshan has disappeared again!

Bing Lan smiled slightly, her gaze falling upon Ye Chen.

"Are the amazing things about him ever in short supply?"

"One more or one less doesn't really matter anymore."

Li Qin was taken aback, and then her expression became quite peculiar.

Hmm...

That actually made sense.

From the very first day Ye Chen appeared in their lives, things had never been quiet.

One moment he had world-shaking medical skills, the next he could gamble on stones, then he was a formidable fighter, and he even transformed her and Bing Lan into Heaven Realm Martial Artists...

Now...

He had run off to the Wa Kingdom and replaced their Emperor; it didn't seem too surprising anymore...

Li Qin shook her head vigorously, feeling her worldview collapsing at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Standing to the side and watching Li Qin's conflicted expression, Yan Qingwu couldn't suppress the curl of her lips no matter how hard she tried.

"Sister Li Qin, don't be in such a hurry to be shocked."

"The even more explosive news is yet to come."

Li Qin's pupils suddenly constricted: "There's... there's even more?"

"Of course."

Yan Qingwu began counting on her fingers with a serious expression.

"On this trip to the Wa Kingdom, Ye Chen didn't just subdue Daji; he also subdued Shuten-doji."

"Do you know who Shuten-doji is?"

"One of the strongest Ghost Kings in the Wa Kingdom, a legendary Great Yokai. His Tachi is taller than a person, and he's built like an iron tower."

"Now he kneels before Ye Chen and calls him Master."

Li Qin's mouth dropped open again.

Who hadn't heard of Shuten-doji?

Anyone who played games or watched Wa Kingdom anime knew of his existence.

But he had always been something from stories; now he had actually appeared???

It was simply too inconceivable...

Ignoring her shock, Yan Qingwu continued.

"Also, Ye Chen wiped out the Yin Yang Society of the Wa Kingdom—over thirty-seven thousand people, not a single one left."

"He also killed five of the nine elders from the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates. The cultivation of the remaining one was crippled, and over a hundred disciples were all slaughtered by the Hundred Ghosts."

"Oh, by the way, he also dug up the treasure beneath Mount Fuji and found the seventh bronze key."

"I almost forgot, he also killed that Empress of the Wa Kingdom, which is why Daji was able to take the throne."

After she finished, she looked at Li Qin with a beaming smile.

"So, is that explosive enough?"

Li Qin stood rooted to the spot like a stone statue, motionless.

Her eyes were wide and round, her mouth was open wide enough to fit a fist, and her mind was a complete blank.

After a long while.

She mechanically turned her head toward Ye Chen.

"Wait..."

"You told Sister Bing Lan and me that you were going to the Wa Kingdom for a business trip to handle a few things. These world-shaking events are what you meant?"

Good heavens!

He killed over thirty thousand people...

How exaggerated was that!

Ye Chen shrugged with an innocent expression.

"I just went to handle some small matters."

"It turns out they were hell-bent on seeking death, so I had no choice."

Li Qin: "..."

Small matters?

You call this a small matter?

Changing the regime of an entire country is a small matter???

Li Qin felt her blood pressure soaring at a visible rate.

She took a deep breath, then another, then turned around to walk toward the corner again.

Bing Lan caught her again, stuck between laughter and tears.

"Alright, alright, if you pace any more, I'll get dizzy."

Li Qin stopped and turned her head, looking at Bing Lan with an expression of utter despair.

"Sister Bing Lan, how on earth do you manage to stay so calm?"

"Your man goes out once, wipes out a country's power, replaces their Empress, and even takes a fox spirit maid..."

"Aren't you worried at all?"

Bing Lan smiled slightly and glanced at Ye Chen, her tone gentle.

"I believe in him."

Four simple words, yet they held more power than any long-winded speech.

A sudden realization dawned on Li Qin.

She understood.

No wonder Bing Lan could hold the position of 'Head of the Harem' so securely; so this was the reason?

However...

She suddenly thought of something and turned to Yan Qingwu.

"By the way, Qingwu, you said just now that Daji is a fox spirit?"

Yan Qingwu nodded: "Yes, a genuine, certified fox spirit."

A glint of gossip appeared in Li Qin's eyes.

"Then is she beautiful?"

"Beautiful, very beautiful. So beautiful she doesn't seem like a real person."

"More beautiful than Sister Bing Lan?"

Yan Qingwu glanced at Bing Lan and thought for a moment.

"It's a different kind of beauty."

"Sister Bing Lan has that ice-cold beauty—noble and aloof, making people afraid to approach."

"Daji has an enchanting beauty. Every smile and gesture carries a charm that makes it impossible to look away."

Li Qin's expression changed slightly.

She turned to Ye Chen, her gaze full of danger.

"Younger Male Cousin, you took such a fox spirit as a maid. You don't have any... other ideas, do you?"

Ye Chen rolled his eyes: "What ideas could I possibly have?"

Li Qin curled her lip.

"That's hard to say. That's Daji we're talking about, a legendary beauty who brings ruin to nations!"

"What man could resist that?"

Ye Chen glared at her irritably: "Is your cousin that kind of person?"

Li Qin looked him up and down, then nodded very seriously: "Yes."

Ye Chen: "..."

Beside them, Bing Lan's shoulders were shaking from holding back her laughter.

Yan Qingwu didn't hold back at all and laughed out loud.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, not bothering to argue with them, and started walking out.

"Fine, fine, let's just go back."

"Uncle and Auntie heard A-Chen was coming back and are already cooking."

Bing Lan followed with a smile, naturally taking his arm.

Li Qin and Yan Qingwu walked behind them, exchanging a look that saw the amusement in each other's eyes.

However.

Just as the group stepped out of the airport terminal, Ye Chen's phone vibrated.

He pulled it out and answered immediately.

"Hello?"

"A-Chen, Shanshan is missing again!"

Bai Wanqing's voice came from the other end, her words filled with panic.

Ye Chen's brow furrowed slightly: "Where did she go missing?"

"Last night, Shanshan and Li Yao received a case saying there was something abnormal at the abandoned factory on the west side of the city."

Bai Wanqing took a deep breath to calm herself down slightly.

"Given Shanshan's current Heaven Realm cultivation, there shouldn't have been any problems, so I let them go. They even took that nun, Luoshui, with them."

"But this morning, only Li Yao and Luoshui came back..."

"And, and..."

Her voice began to tremble.

"The six police officers who went with them are all dead."

"Li Yao and Luoshui are also seriously injured; neither of them has woken up yet!"

Ye Chen's expression darkened instantly.

"Where are Brother Li and the others now?"

"First Hospital, emergency room!"

Bai Wanqing was already at her wit's end. "A-Chen, get here quickly. Nothing must happen to them, otherwise, if something happened to Shanshan and the others, no one will know."

No one would have ever thought...

That the dignified first lady of the Tianyao Group would actually have such a fragile side.

"I understand. I'll be there right away."

Ye Chen hung up the phone and turned around.

As it turned out...

He immediately saw Li Qin looking at him with an anxious face.

"What happened to my brother?"

"He's injured. He's at the First Hospital now."

Li Qin's face turned pale: "He... he said last night he was going on a mission and told me not to worry. How could something have happened?"

"Let's go and see first."

Ye Chen didn't waste words. "Where's the car? We're driving straight to the First Hospital."

...

First Hospital, emergency room.

Bai Wanqing sat on a bench outside the emergency room, her eyes red and swollen, clearly having already cried.

In her eyes.

Bai Shanshan was the only relative she had left in this world.

If something happened to Bai Shanshan, what would it matter if she was the president of the Tianyao Group?

Beside Bai Wanqing, several police officers in uniform stood with solemn expressions. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was exceptionally heavy.

Da-da-da—

Hurried footsteps came from the end of the corridor.

Bai Wanqing looked up sharply and saw Ye Chen striding toward her, followed by Bing Lan, Li Qin, and Yan Qingwu.

"A-Chen!"

Bai Wanqing stood up abruptly.

"What's the situation?" Ye Chen asked directly as he reached her.

Bai Wanqing took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

"Ruoshui is out of critical danger, but she's still in a coma. The doctor said her injuries are very severe, and they don't know when she'll wake up..."

"What about my brother?" Li Qin asked impatiently, unable to suppress the anxiety on her face.

Before Bai Wanqing could speak, a police officer nearby said in a low voice.

"The Captain is still in the emergency room. He was brought in this morning, and it's been over four hours. He hasn't come out yet..."

Li Qin's face turned white.

Although this brother of hers was very unreliable and had once even conducted a vice raid on her and Ye Chen...

The sibling bond between the two was unchangeable...

But now, that person was lying in the emergency room, his life or death unknown.

Had she known this would happen, she should have begged Ye Chen to help her brother improve his strength as well. At least then he wouldn't be in surgery for four hours without any result.

Ye Chen reached out and patted Li Qin's shoulder, comforting her: "Stay calm, don't panic. There will be a result soon."

Ding—

Just as he finished speaking, the light above the emergency room door suddenly went out.

In the next second.

Everyone's gaze turned toward that door in unison.
