232: It's useless to seek warmth in a group

“Help me check who Han Lei has been associating with recently.”

Seventeen was a little surprised.

“Does a person like him still need your special instructions?”

And he even specifically entrusted it to her.

Could it be something major?

“What, even you want to question my affairs now?”

Chen Tianming did not answer directly, but his voice grew colder.

Even over the phone, Seventeen could feel Chen Tianming's terrible tone.

If she delayed any longer, she didn't know what might happen.

“This subordinate shouldn't have asked these questions, please don't take it to heart.”

The other party quickly hung up the phone.

Chen Tianming didn't press the matter.

These people working under him should know their place.

At the very least, they shouldn't casually question his plans.

Probably to make up for her previous mistake, she quickly called back, and there was a hint of excitement in the woman's voice on the other end of the line.

“I've been following Han Lei, and I didn't expect him to go to Guwan Street and enter a shop, and you know the person in charge of that shop.”

Chen Tianming seemed to have guessed something in his heart, but he still wanted to ask for more details.

“Who is it?”

“Du Shaokang.”

The moment he heard this name, Chen Tianming's expression instantly became even more solemn, and his hands unknowingly clenched into fists, wondering what he was thinking.

“It seems they've known each other for quite some time, and just before Han Lei entered, he specifically made sure no one was following him before he went in. He was very vigilant. Could they really be plotting something?”

Seventeen couldn't help but worry.

If these people dared to defy their master's wishes, they would go through fire and water to not let them off.

Chen Tianming pondered for a moment, then slowly uttered a few words.

“Let them mess around.”

Even if two ants huddled together for warmth, it wouldn't necessarily have a significant impact on him.

Chen Tianming knew this clearly.

But this attempt to gang up and bring him down still displeased Chen Tianming.

Recalling Han Lei's sharp eyes when he looked at him just now, Chen Tianming's expression became even more solemn.

Perhaps Han Lei didn't gain any benefits from the auction, so he felt uncertain and went to Du Shaokang to discuss countermeasures.

“They really shouldn't be allowed to act so recklessly.”

“What, did something happen?”

Wan Yue, who was beside him, asked Chen Tianming curiously.

Chen Tianming simply told Wan Yue what had just happened.

“Right now, the two of them are not to be feared, but who knows what might happen in the future? It's best to nip such things in the bud.”

“It's similar to what I thought, but now…”

Chen Tianming hadn't finished his sentence when his gaze suddenly caught sight of the billboard on the opposite building.

The sign, which had been showing a cosmetics advertisement, was now displaying a scene of aerial flight.

“Live footage? I doubt it. Could someone be filming nearby?”

“Really? Can people fly in the sky? Why don't I believe it?”

“Let's go take a look.”

It wasn't just Chen Tianming who was drawn in, but other pedestrians on the street as well.

Upon seeing the words “Live Footage” on the billboard, they immediately started discussing it.

They certainly didn't believe that someone could just fly in the sky out of nowhere, but from the scene, there were no traces of special effects.

“Has someone really become a spirit?”

“Can I be next? If I had this ability, I wouldn't need to buy plane tickets anymore.”

There were many onlookers, but most of them treated the matter as a joke.

They didn't believe that the content on it was real at all.

Only Chen Tianming and Wan Yue saw it so clearly.

Especially Wan Yue.

Her eyes were wide open, and she couldn't say a word for a long time.

“It looks like Cultivators. As long as they have some cultivation, they can freely control their bodies to achieve the realm of sword flight and Lingbo Weibu.”

And Chen Tianming's expression grew even more solemn.

“So you mean that these people are already so arrogant that they can freely enter and exit the world of ordinary people?”

Wan Yue laughed awkwardly.

“That's not what I meant. This only proves that there are more Cultivators now than before, but the fact that the other party can be so arrogant indeed shows some courage. Ordinary sects wouldn't dare to do such a thing.”

After speaking, she couldn't help but look at the billboard for a while longer.

“It seems I need to have someone investigate where this video came from.”

Attracted by this matter, Chen Tianming was no longer bothered to deal with Han Lei and the others.

Even if two small worms huddled together for warmth, the final outcome would be the same. He now had more important things to do.

This kind of thing was most suitable for Gao Zhiman to investigate.

That evening, Gao Zhiman arrived at the manor with the copied data.

As soon as she entered, Gao Zhiman's eyes weren't enough, and she immediately looked around, very curious about everything around her.

“I really didn't expect you to move into such a nice place. It's truly enviable.”

Upon seeing Chen Tianming, Gao Zhiman even pouted slightly.

“I thought you lived in the villa over there. I foolishly went there, and you didn't give me your new address when you moved.”

Chen Tianming knew Gao Zhiman was acting coquettishly with him and just smiled.

“By the way, did you bring what I asked you to bring?”

“Of course. Professionals do professional things. The source of this video can be found by just checking it with the information team's computer.”

Chen Tianming was about to take the memory card, but Gao Zhiman suddenly hid it behind her back.

“Why are you so impatient? You want to get the memory card from me without giving me any benefits?”

Seeing the ambiguous smile in her eyes, Chen Tianming immediately understood.

Then, a kiss gently landed on the woman's ear.

“I can give you anything you want.”

Almost no one could refuse Chen Tianming's gentle offensive.

And at this moment, Chen Tianming was acting so alluring.

Gao Zhiman had already been conquered by him, and now, as long as Chen Tianming showed a little intimacy, it could make Gao Zhiman's heart flutter.

“I want to stay here tonight…”

Chen Tianming understood the meaning of this sentence perfectly.

A nameless fire seemed to ignite instantly, and Chen Tianming reached out and gently embraced Gao Zhiman.

His exhaled breath lingered by Gao Zhiman's ear, causing the woman's face to flush red.

“Of course, no problem. You can stay here as long as you want.”

This made Gao Zhiman even more shy.

“I don't want to live here for a long time, just tonight is fine.”

“No problem.”
