Chapter 93: Don't Ever Come Back
Lin Chuyue spoke coldly, "Xiao Ye should be inside."
"Of course, I know."
Chu Yan admired her freshly manicured nails, a casual smile playing on her lips.
"I just came from your house. He's already agreed to go to South City with me."
Lin Chuyue's expression remained impassive. She just snorted. "Just as well. I was wondering how I was going to make him go."
"So in that sense, I should thank you for your help."
"Take him with you, and don't ever come back!"
With that, Lin Chuyue strode through the door without waiting for Chu Yan's reply.
Chu Yan chuckled softly. 'I was worried that Xiao Ye and Lin Chuyue's relationship might have progressed by leaps and bounds while I was away.'
'I never expected... Lin Chuyue's attitude to be even worse than before.'
'This woman! Not only is she ungrateful, but she's also completely blind!'
'She can't even see what a great man Xiao Ye is. Sooner or later, she'll regret it!'
'Since such a golden opportunity has fallen into my lap, I, Chu Yan, won't be foolish enough to let it slip by.'
'I'll grab this chance and do my best to win Xiao Ye over as soon as possible!'
"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Miss Lin. Please tell Xiao Ye to pack his things a bit faster."
"Don't delay the precious time we'll have together."
Chu Yan sneered, a smile of confident victory on her face.
Lin Chuyue snorted heavily and strode toward the living room.
'That philandering bastard! He really thinks I don't have the guts to kick him out, doesn't he!'
Soon, Lin Chuyue reached the living room. She spotted Xiao Ye at a glance and snapped, "Aren't you going to South City? Hurry up and pack your things! Don't be an eyesore here!"
Xiao Ye's face darkened.
'How did I manage to offend this fiery little chili pepper again?'
'Could it be? Did she run into Chu Yan on her way in? Is she jealous?'
'But it makes sense. Chu Yan's beauty is on par with Lin Chuyue's.'
'That's why this girl is so tense, why her tone is so aggressive.'
'So she's worried I'll be stolen away.'
Xiao Ye's mood instantly brightened. "What, are you angry? It's not like I'm leaving and never coming back."
"If you're going, then go! And don't ever come back!"
Lin Chuyue threw those words at him, then returned to her room with a stony face, slamming the door with a deafening CRASH.
'Wow, she's really jealous!'
Looking completely innocent, Xiao Ye turned to explain to Lin Aoshan, who was in the living room, "Old Master Lin, there's nothing going on between Chu Yan and me."
"I'm going to help her because I promised her beforehand. When you have a moment, please help me explain it to Chuyue."
"It's a matter of life and death over on Chu Yan's side. I have to leave early. I'll try to rescue the person tomorrow so I can come back sooner."
Seeing that not only was Xiao Ye not angry, but was actually worried about Lin Chuyue getting the wrong idea, Lin Aoshan was so happy he grinned from ear to ear.
He naturally agreed to everything. "That girl, Chuyue, is wonderful in every way, it's just... she can be a bit temperamental."
"She only says such harsh things because she feels a little insecure. You must be understanding and patient with her."
"Since you promised Chu Yan, go and do what you need to do. I'll be here with Chuyue, so don't you worry."
In Lin Aoshan's view, taking a step back to advance was actually more beneficial for their relationship.
Besides, with his capabilities, he couldn't possibly keep Xiao Ye confined to Jiangcheng.
'He is a true dragon destined to soar through the nine heavens; sooner or later, he will ascend to greatness!'
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Old Master Lin. If anything comes up, just give me a call."
Xiao Ye didn't have much to pack. He just grabbed a few life-saving items and left the Lin Family home.
Watching his receding figure, Lin Aoshan thought of the temperamental Lin Chuyue and couldn't help but sigh.
"That girl, how can she not understand how to capture a man's heart!"
That Chu Yan's ambition was plain to see.
If Xiao Ye weren't a man destined for greatness, he would have wanted to keep him here, just to prevent other women from getting their chance!
「Outside the Lin Family's home.」
Seeing Xiao Ye come out, Chu Yan immediately put on a smile and lightly tossed her waterfall of hair.
Under the moonlight, she was the very picture of charm and allure, breathtakingly beautiful.
She personally opened the car door. "Let's go."
Xiao Ye got into the passenger seat. "Tell me about this underground fighting ring."
Although he was confident he could cut down anyone or anything that stood in his way, he knew that knowing one's enemy was the best way to land a fatal blow and save a lot of time.
Chu Yan stepped on the gas, speeding away from the Lin Family's home, and then began to speak in a delicate voice, "That underground fighting ring is no ordinary fighting ring."
"Anyone who wants to compete must sign a waiver stating that if anything happens on the stage, even death, the ring bears no responsibility."
"However, the payout for winning each match is substantial, so many people are eager to try their luck."
Those were all people who wanted money, not their lives.
They always fantasized that they'd be lucky enough to win even one match and make a fortune.
But how could the money of the underground emperor, Brother Qi, be so easy to take?
Basically, anyone who managed to get the money either died from their injuries later or ended up crippled for life!
Seeing that Xiao Ye's expression remained unchanged, Chu Yan continued, "That Brother Qi is extremely ruthless. He has specially trained a group of fighters."
"When that group fights, they are absolutely fighting to kill!"
"And they're all very powerful. Very few people can beat them!"
"According to my investigation, many people who went for a final, desperate gamble ended up dying at their hands. At least several dozen people."
Xiao Ye nodded and closed his eyes. "Alright, I understand."
Chu Yan didn't dare say another word, afraid she would disturb him.
「At the airport.」
The Chu Family's plane was already waiting. The two of them flew directly to South City.
When they landed, it was only eight o'clock at night.
Outside the airport, someone was waiting for them.
A driver respectfully opened the car door. "Eldest Miss, the hotel you requested has been prepared."
Chu Yan nodded, took the champagne from the car, and personally poured a full glass for Xiao Ye. "Do you want to go to the hotel and rest for a bit first?"
"Don't worry, it's the best suite in South City. I guarantee you'll be satisfied. If you have any requests, just ask."
Xiao Ye blocked the champagne she offered him. "No need. Take me directly to the fighting ring."
He was also curious to see what this so-called underground fighting ring actually looked like.
An underground fighting ring wasn't a business that could operate openly, so it was located in a very remote place, underneath a factory in the suburbs.
There were only two ways to get inside.
One was as a fighter, the other as a spectator.
If you wanted to be a fighter, you had to be prepared to give your life.
If you wanted to be a spectator, you had to have your assets verified.
A ticket to the underground fighting ring alone cost over a thousand yuan, and that was just the cheapest expense.
To get a good seat to watch the fights, you had to purchase an annual membership in one go. The lowest tier was three million, and the highest was thirty million!
So, when Chu Yan and Xiao Ye arrived at the entrance, they were immediately stopped.
"What do you think you're doing? I am the Eldest Miss of the Chu Family! Don't forget, I spent thirty million to become a member here!"
Although she had never come here to watch fights before, she still had to show the proper respect.
That's why when Brother Qi established the ring, nearly all the dignitaries and wealthy elite came to offer money.
But just because Chu Yan didn't come, it didn't mean other members of the Chu Family wouldn't. There were quite a few people who enjoyed watching such scenes.
"So it's the Eldest Miss of the Chu Family. My apologies, my apologies."
Only then did the guard step aside, but the look in his eyes held very little respect for Chu Yan.
Chu Yan naturally noticed this. She snorted coldly, her expression turning extremely ugly, but she didn't dare start any trouble.
Her younger brother was still in Brother Qi's hands. She didn't want to stir up any more problems.
Once they were through the entrance to the fighting ring, Chu Yan lowered her voice and said hatefully, "Brother Qi's lackeys are all like this. It's disgusting!"
