Beautiful CEO's Super Expert

The Daoist-robed elder had not expected that this young man could actually project his True Yuan externally!

Yet he appeared to be only in his twenties; could it be that at such a young age, he had already reached the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm or even higher?

"What a monster!"

The Daoist-robed elder couldn't help but sigh, thinking how could such strength in one so young be anything but monstrous?

The elder never even considered running away because he knew that even if he tried, he wouldn't succeed!

"Speak, who sent you, and what do you want?"

Su Chen walked up to the elder and looked at him coldly.

"I am not strong enough; I have lost and I accept that. If you want to kill me, I have no complaints, but to get anything from me – impossible!"

The elder spoke calmly, his voice somewhat weakened due to his injuries.

Su Chen stared into his eyes and knew he wouldn't talk. Although he had ways to make the elder speak the truth, Su Chen just wasn't in the mood anymore.

"You may go."

Su Chen waved his hand, feeling somewhat listless.

"You're letting me go?"

The elder thought he had misheard and blurted out the question.

"Go."

Su Chen turned and walked toward his car.

"Thank you!"

Enduring the pain, the elder stood up, cupped his hands towards Su Chen's retreating figure, and then turned to leave.

No sooner had the elder taken a few steps than Su Chen's ice-cold voice rang out over the desolate road.

"Go back and tell your Family Head, this is the only time!"

The elder's aged body trembled, he nodded, and continued on his way...

Meanwhile, Su Chen drove back towards the Grand Epoch Court. He had let the old man go, largely because the elder had shown no real intent to kill at the start!

Su Chen also had a good idea of who might have sent the elder; it was likely one of the Wu, Liu, or Lu families.

By the time Su Chen got back to Lin Ruoxue's villa, it was already past ten, and Maid Wang had gone to bed long ago, but the light in Lin Ruoxue's study was still on.

Su Chen didn't disturb them and went straight to his room to begin his cultivation. Although he had won the night's battle with ease, it had still depleted a significant amount of his True Yuan, especially the final release of his True Yuan.

....

At the same time, at the Wu Family estate.

Wu Jingui pushed open the heavy door of his study and immediately saw the pale-faced elder lying on a chair.

"Uncle Chen, you've been injured?!"

Wu Jingui's heart shook, and he quickly approached.

"I'm sorry, my lord, I failed to handle the task you entrusted to me."

The elder tried to sit up slightly, his voice heavy as he spoke.

"We'll talk about that later. Your injury is what matters!"

Wu Jingui hurriedly supported the elder's shoulders, helping him to lie back properly, worry etched deep into his face.

Wu Jingui's expression was not feigned, though it was not because he had a deep emotional bond with the elder.

It was because this elder was too important to him!

"I'm fine, my lord. I know my own body."

The elder coughed twice and said.

Upon hearing the elder's words, Wu Jingui's anxiety eased, and he asked with a grave face:

"Uncle Chen, who exactly inflicted these injuries on you?"

In his view, Uncle Chen was one of the top figures in the Jiangnan region; aside from the mysterious retainer of the old lady, Wu Jingui never thought anyone could hurt Uncle Chen.

"My lord, the fact that I made it back alive is already fortunate enough; my opponent showed me mercy."

The elderly man sighed, his expression still somewhat bewildered.

"What?"

Wu Jingui was startled by the old man's words, not only was Uncle Chen's injury shocking enough, but the idea that it was because the other party had held back was unbelievable to him.

"Who did it, exactly?"

Wu Jingui could never have imagined that such a powerful figure existed within the boundaries of Jiangnan!

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he asked:

"Could it be the young man I asked you to deal with?"

After saying this, Wu Jingui mockingly shook his head and laughed:

"I must be overthinking, how could it be possible?"

"It was him!"

With just a light statement from the old man, Wu Jingui's head spun and he stood frozen in place.

"Him? How is that possible?" Wu Jingui squeezed out a smile, "Uncle Chen, stop joking around, he's just over twenty years old, how could he...?"

"I wish this were a joke, but it is indeed true!"

Seeing the old man's serious demeanor, Wu Jingui finally believed his words.

Wu Jingui had some difficulty accepting such a reality, it felt like a dream.

He had originally thought that the old man had provoked some particularly important person while doing a task, which is why he got injured.

He never expected it to be that young man!

After all, the old man had said he would deliver results in three days, and Wu Jingui had no idea he had gone to confront the young man today.

"Master, we should not provoke this person, and also, tell the eldest young master not to clash with him."

The old man had once received Wu Jingui's kindness, hence he had always been very loyal to him.

"I understand, and I will instruct Yuanli," Wu Jingui nodded and then asked, "Uncle Chen, how strong is he exactly?"

"Unfathomable!"

Hearing Wu Jingui's question, the old man's mind couldn't help but conjure up the young man's face as he continued,

"He might even surpass that patron of the old lady! The key issue is that he's so young—who dares to imagine what he could achieve in the future!"

Wu Jingui was completely dumbfounded, now finally having a rough understanding of the young man's strength.

The young man's strength surpassing that mysterious patron was simply inconceivable!

Wu Jingui may not be an ordinary person, after a while he calmed down and began to analyze the pros and cons of the situation.

The first thing that could be certain was that this was a man you could only make friends with and not afford to offend, even if you could not be friends, you definitely could not make an enemy of him!

Then, Wu Jingui remembered a piece of news he had received not long ago, and the corners of his mouth slowly formed a meaningful smile...

It seemed that the young prodigal from the second branch also had a bit of conflict with this young man. This could be quite interesting...

....

This rainy night was destined to be an extraordinary one.

At the same moment, inside a room in the Lin family's old residence, a young man and a middle-aged man sat facing each other; both of their expressions were somewhat grave.

"Chao'er, from what you're telling me, our family's new son-in-law is truly no ordinary person!"

The middle-aged man heaved a long sigh.

"Indeed, he's a bit elusive, but when you look at him, he doesn't seem to be anything special."

The young man frowned, a look of confusion on his face.

This young man was none other than Lin Chao, and the middle-aged man was his father, Lin Wenlong.

He had come specifically to discuss with his father about the incident that had occurred this afternoon at the Belle Corporation involving Yun Family's eldest young master.

"That is what you call a true master,"

Lin Wenlong lit a cigarette, took a puff, and spoke leisurely,

"Young Master Long, the eldest young master of the Yun Family, either one is a well-known figure in Jiangnan. Both of them regard the young man with the surname Su in such a way—it's something that forces us to be cautious."
