183: Come home with me

Seeing Qu Huaixuan's tear-streaked face, Chen Tianming's heart was filled with nothing but heartache.

“Go pack your things.”

Chen Tianming's expression was serious.

If the person targeting Qu Wan'er today had been just an ordinary person, Chen Tianming wouldn't have been so nervous.

But Guan Yue was a true cultivator.

If it weren't for his extraordinary ability, and the fact that he was holding a child, forcing him to dodge and block, an ordinary person wouldn't be able to defeat him at all.

However, there was one thing Chen Tianming still couldn't understand.

Why would a cultivator who had entered the secular world pick a fight with a child?

He had no reason.

Just as Chen Tianming was pondering, Qu Huaixuan had already packed their belongings and come out.

“Where are we going now?”

Only then did Qu Huaixuan suddenly remember.

She had only remembered Chen Tianming telling her to pack her things, but she forgot to ask Chen Tianming where he was taking her.

“Come home with me.”

He said it seriously.

Instead of letting the mother and daughter be exposed to danger outside, it was better to bring them home.

With him there, at least there would be a bit more safety.

Qu Huaixuan looked flattered.

In fact, she wasn't ready to go home with Chen Tianming yet.

“Isn't this too much trouble for you? Wan'er and I are quite comfortable living here, and besides, the surrounding environment is also...”

“Listen to me.”

Qu Huaixuan's unfinished words were cut off by Chen Tianming.

“At least until I find out that person's purpose, you'll stay with me. If you want to move out later, I won't stop you.”

Chen Tianming had already said so much.

Qu Huaixuan had no reason to refuse now, so she could only nod in agreement.

Chen Tianming floored the accelerator and drove the car away, heading straight for his villa.

Chen Family Villa.

When Chen Tianming returned from outside with Qu Huaixuan and her daughter, the house was empty.

At this time, Wan Yue should be using Su Meng's identity and diligently attending classes at school.

Chen Tianming quickly arranged rooms for the two of them.

“Were you scared just now?”

Looking at Qu Huaixuan's lovely face, Chen Tianming felt an indescribable emotion, and reached out to gently caress her face.

“I was a little scared just now, but I'm much better now.”

“That's good.”

Chen Tianming got up, “You should also get some good rest. I still have some things to deal with.”

Qu Huaixuan wanted to call out to Chen Tianming, but in the end, the words reached her lips and she swallowed them back, nodding gently, “Okay.”

After leaving Qu Huaixuan's room, Chen Tianming immediately dialed Gao Zhiman's number.

Given the opponent's identity, asking the police for help with the investigation was the most convenient option.

After a moment of waiting, Gao Zhiman answered the phone.

Almost simultaneously, Gao Zhiman's colleague's voice came from the other end of the line.

“Remember to organize the information of these people later; the bureau is pressing for it.”

“I know.”

When talking to her colleague, Gao Zhiman's voice was calm.

When she slipped into a corner to talk to Chen Tianming, a hint of tenderness was clearly added to Gao Zhiman's voice.

“Husband, why are you calling me now? Do you miss me?”

In contrast, Chen Tianming's tone seemed much colder.

“Help me investigate someone.”

Gao Zhiman's enthusiasm instantly halved.

“I thought you were calling because you missed me, but it turns out it's still business.”

However, Gao Zhiman also knew that Chen Tianming definitely had something urgent.

“What's his name?”

“Guan Yue.”

Gao Zhiman readily agreed.

“Understood. I happen to be organizing some material, and I'll be able to tell you about his situation later.”

Chen Tianming was relatively at ease entrusting the matter to her.

After hanging up, Chen Tianming called Yan Yu.

The other end seemed to be busy with something at this moment. A faint noise could still be heard.

“Master, do you have any instructions?”

Chen Tianming hummed.

“Go help me investigate someone named Guan Yue. I don't need you to investigate his background; the most important thing is to find out where this person lives now.”

Flames practically shot from Chen Tianming's eyes.

Snatching a child in broad daylight.

This person was simply too brazen.

And the one who was snatched happened to be Qu Wan'er.

The more Chen Tianming thought about it, the more he felt lingering fear.

If he had escaped, he would probably be pacing anxiously right now.

“Yes, I'll have the brothers go investigate immediately.”

After arranging the matters, Chen Tianming hung up the phone.

All he could do now was wait.

Near the suburbs, in a dilapidated residential area.

The man stumbled in from outside.

There weren't many people around at this time.

He deliberately slipped into a relatively quiet alley.

“Cough cough!”

After a violent fit of coughing, a mouthful of blood slid from Guan Yue's lips.

His complexion also became much colder.

Recalling the scene at the amusement park just now, Guan Yue felt a surge of lingering fear.

He hadn't expected that guy to be so strong.

And he also possessed abundant internal energy.

If they had truly fought, even if he hadn't been holding a child, he might not have been his opponent.

“Could it be that she really got entangled with a cultivator?”

Guan Yue muttered to himself.

His face also grew increasingly grim.

No.

He hadn't gotten the person yet.

He couldn't give up no matter what.

Even if it meant risking being discovered by that person, he had to give it a try!

Just as he was thinking, footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

“Guan Yue!”

The woman's eyes widened when she saw Guan Yue's disheveled appearance at that moment.

Especially when she saw the red stain at the corner of his lips, she rushed forward excitedly.

“How did this happen to you? How did you get so injured?”

Ding Xiaoyu quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from Guan Yue's lips.

“Xiaoyu, I'm fine.”

Guan Yue forced a smile.

It seemed that only this could soothe the woman's emotions.

“What happened to you today? How could you be injured like this? Did you encounter another cultivator?”

Ding Xiaoyu's heart was in turmoil.

Guan Yue's ability was the strongest in the clan.

Even if they selected strong men from the clan, seven or eight of them couldn't get close to him.

Needless to say, ordinary people.

He could send an opponent flying over ten meters with a slight lift of his hand.

Yet now he was beaten to the point of spitting blood.

Ding Xiaoyu couldn't describe how anxious she was.

“I'm really fine.”

Guan Yue immediately swallowed.

He swallowed all the remaining blood in his mouth.

Then he feigned a normal demeanor, “It was my carelessness that gave the other party an opportunity. If we truly fought, he might not be my opponent.”

“Now that we've entered the secular world, the surrounding environment is no longer up to us. Given your current situation, it's best to go back, to avoid being threatened by others outside. I don't want to see you get into trouble again.”
