235: Corpses, all corpses

Around noon, Piao Jun returned to yesterday's mansion in a sorry state.

There was a noticeable blood-filled hole on his shoulder, and the flowing blood had stained his dark clothes black, clinging tightly to his body.

Behind him, Han Dongxu followed with a grim expression, roaring at him:

"Why didn't you notify the people outside the moment you saw him! This was a perfect opportunity to kill him!"

Piao Jun, his face pale, pointed at his shoulder and said weakly:

"Brother, I'm almost dead. Can you call someone to heal me first?"

A door in the main hall opened, and Chairman Han walked out accompanied by the butler, asking with a deep frown:

"What's going on? Why are you so badly injured?"

Just as Piao Jun was about to speak, Han Dongxu immediately roared furiously:

"Father, there's definitely something wrong with Piao Jun. Everyone who went in with him died, only he came out alive.

And that guy named Gu Qinghan killed many of our people and just ran off. Piao Jun didn't even try to stop him."

Chairman Han glanced at Piao Jun, his gaze lingering on the wound on his shoulder for two seconds, then told the butler to call someone to heal him first.

At the same time, he patiently said to his son:

"It's normal that Gu Qinghan could escape unharmed even when attacked by both you and Piao Jun. It's perfectly normal that Piao Jun alone couldn't stop him.

For the next two days, be careful when you go out. Don't let Gu Qinghan ambush you while you're hunting those Maimed Demons."

Piao Jun finally found an opportunity to speak, saying weakly:

"Chairman, that Gu Qinghan was able to injure me like this, so he should also have the strength to seriously injure or even kill Han Dongxu.

Why don't we wait until I've recovered before Han Dongxu and I go out together?

I feel that Gu Qinghan didn't use all his abilities. If I hadn't reacted quickly today, I might have died by his hand."

"Nonsense! How could I be as useless as you? If I had met him today, he might already be dead by my hand!"

Han Dongxu's emotions suddenly became agitated, and a black-red light emanated from his body, but it gradually receded after he saw his father's somewhat somber expression.

Finally, he snorted coldly, glared at Piao Jun, and then turned and rushed out of the house.

Piao Jun turned to look at the slightly swaying door, but there was a hint of triumphant cunning in his eyes.

However, Chairman Han suddenly spoke, pulling his thoughts back:

"Piao Jun, although Dongxu's emotions are unstable, he is still my son, so don't deliberately provoke him."

As a shrewd individual who had climbed from the bottom, how could Chairman Han not see that Piao Jun was deliberately provoking Han Dongxu?

It was just that the two had often had conflicts before, so he hadn't thought much of it.

Piao Jun gave an embarrassed smile and admitted his mistake to the elder.

Chairman Han waved his hand, saying indifferently:

"But Dongxu is indeed a bit too emotional. If he had half your calmness, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

The butler had already brought in a Healing-type Professional, who began to heal Piao Jun.

Piao Jun's injuries gradually improved, but he still flattered:

"Chairman, you're just joking. You're only a little older. If you were ten years younger, our Conglomerate would definitely achieve new glory under your leadership!"

But to his surprise, this time Chairman Han didn't smile and say he was old, but nodded in agreement, saying:

"You're right, that day won't be far off."

"Ah?" Piao Jun was a bit slow to react.

"By the way, I remember you kept a few people you captured, didn't you? I happen to be short on manpower here. Would it be convenient for you to let me have them?"

Chairman Han didn't dwell on the previous topic but instead asked Piao Jun for people.

Piao Jun was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily:

"No problem at all! Everyone in this Conglomerate is yours. You can just send someone to pick them up."

Chairman Han laughed heartily: "I knew you'd agree, so this morning, I already had them picked up."

Piao Jun nodded; in fact, there was nothing he could change.

At least this Chairman Han was much more reliable than his son and wouldn't do something like trapping people in a hunting ground to hunt them.

After a brief chat, Piao Jun was about to leave when he suddenly heard a dull thud.

The sound seemed to come from Chairman Han's bedroom, but it quickly subsided.

"Go and see if the new people broke something."

Chairman Han instructed the butler, then turned to Piao Jun and said:

"Go back and rest quickly. Get well soon. If that Gu Qinghan attacks again, you and Dongxu will still be needed."

Piao Jun hummed, stretched his shoulder, and walked out.

However, his expression became somewhat puzzled after he turned around.

His injuries were intentionally left by Gu Qinghan, to make the deaths of those people seem reasonable and to allow him to hide within the Conglomerate again.

He knew that this mansion actually hid many powerful Professionals, all of whom had been loyal to this Conglomerate before the game began.

It wasn't realistic to obtain the yacht key by force; he could only use cunning.

But that dull thud just now didn't sound like something falling; it sounded more like a body hitting a wall.

"Could it be that those people were sparring? But why would Chairman Han say that something fell to the ground?"

Piao Jun felt a vague sense of unease. After returning to his residence, he closed the doors and windows, then his body slowly became ethereal.

About a minute later, his figure had completely blended into his surroundings, and he didn't even cause any disturbance when moving.

This was also one of his skills. He had secretly snuck to the dockside before, also relying on the effect of this skill.

He had always hidden this skill because he had no sense of belonging to this place.

After becoming invisible, he could move freely, but if he wanted to attack, he had to exit the invisible state first. It was simply a divine skill for scouting or stealing.

Spirit Thief, what he could steal was not just skills.

When Piao Jun confirmed that no one was around, he slowly jumped out of the window and then made his way to Chairman Han's mansion.

He waited for a long time before someone opened the door from inside and quickly left in one direction.

Piao Jun followed behind the person without thinking and then trailed them all the way to a garbage dump.

He saw the person look left and right, then suddenly flicked the storage ring on his hand, and a large number of corpses were thrown out from inside.

Piao Jun frowned deeply. The corpses had extremely gruesome death poses; some bodies were abnormally shrunken or bloated.

And the source of so many corpses was Chairman Han's residence.

"Could it be that the collision sound from before was made by these people before they died?

What exactly happened in Chairman Han's bedroom?"
