Ye Chen Wants to Kill Meng Wanyue

"Why?"

Guo Xiao looked puzzled.

She knew very well in her heart that ever since his father died, she and her mother had never given Fang Chu a good look.

The main reason was that Fang Chu was indeed infuriating. They gave him a cushy job, but he would often skip work and run off.

He had never helped out with anything at home.

It should be known that before Guo Xiao got married, she was pursued by quite a few rich and handsome men.

Now that a good-for-nothing had married into their family as a live-in son-in-law, it was perfectly normal for her mother to feel resentful.

But ever since Fang Chu became an ancient martial artist, he had started taking revenge on the mother and daughter.

When he had nothing to do at home, he would slap her mother, eventually angering her so much that she ended up in the hospital.

"Fang Chu is dead. I saw his corpse in some ruins."

Xu Mu didn't explicitly state that he was the one who killed him.

"What? Fang Chu is dead?"

Guo Xiao covered her red lips, her eyes full of disbelief.

He was clearly her husband in name, so why did she feel a sense of relief in her heart?

Xu Mu also noticed her expression. It seemed that Guo Xiao still had no feelings for Fang Chu.

He had read quite a few live-in son-in-law novels before. Usually, in this kind of situation, the wife would despise the live-in son-in-law.

Later, under the leadership of the live-in son-in-law, the family would prosper, and countless business tycoons would treat the family with the utmost respect.

Only then would women like Guo Xiao start to like the live-in son-in-law, feeling that they had been blind and misjudged him.

However, Fang Chu was obviously killed by him before he could even develop.

"That's right, I saw it with my own eyes."

Xu Mu said to Guo Xiao, "You don't have to live in fear anymore. If your family encounters any difficulties, remember to come to me."

[Affection +20]

For some reason, Guo Xiao suddenly felt that Xu Mu was her true soulmate.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

She was already married. Even though she was now a widow, her marriage was a fact.

How could Xu Mu possibly take a fancy to a widow like her?

"Young Master Xu, you're such a good person."

Guo Xiao wiped her tears with her sleeve. "Recently, Fang Chu even gave orders to go against your Xu family. I will immediately pass down the instruction that from now on, our Guo family's businesses will follow the lead of your Xu Group."

"There's no need to bet everything on our Xu family, but our two families can indeed cooperate."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

Guo Xiao nodded.

...

With the matters here concluded, Xu Mu prepared to find a place to study the formation he had obtained this time.

However, just as he started the car, his phone buzzed.

He took it out for a look and found it was a call from Meng Wanyue.

"Wanyue, what's wrong?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"Brother Mu, Ye Chen wants me to go over right now."

Meng Wanyue's voice was a bit tense. "Sister Ran secretly told me that it's best if I don't go. Ye Chen might kill me this time."

Hearing this, Xu Mu's expression also grew tense.

Could Ye Chen have guessed that Meng Wanyue had completely defected to his side?

If that was the case, given Ye Chen's personality, he would indeed do something harmful to Meng Wanyue.

"Wanyue, don't panic. Go to my house and find me first."

Xu Mu needed to think this through carefully. Given Ye Chen's personality, upon learning of Meng Wanyue's betrayal, he would definitely do his utmost to kill her.

After all, the organization he established was ruled by his formidable reputation.

If Meng Wanyue broke away from Ye Chen and continued to live well, other members might also entertain the same idea.

After Xu Mu returned home, he found that Meng Wanyue had already arrived, and with her was Dai Xingluo.

"Brother, what did you and Meng Wanyue go do yesterday?"

Upon seeing Xu Mu, Dai Xingluo immediately stepped forward and linked arms with him, her face full of an amicable smile.

"We went to take care of some business."

Xu Mu said with a smile.

"What kind of business? Never mind, never mind. It's just me speaking out of turn. I overestimated the relationship between us."

Dai Xingluo shook her head slightly and let go of Xu Mu's arm, her eyes filled with grievance.

"I'll tell you later. There's an important matter right now."

Xu Mu helplessly patted Dai Xingluo's back and walked toward Meng Wanyue. "What exactly happened?"

"Sister Ran called me first, saying that Ye Chen had something to discuss with me and asked me to go over immediately."

Meng Wanyue explained. "About three minutes later, Sister Ran sent me a text message telling me not to go, saying that Ye Chen might want to kill me."

Dai Xingluo, who was standing to the side with her arms crossed, narrowed her eyes slightly upon hearing this.

Xu Mu stroked his chin in deep thought. It was likely that when she made the first call, Ye Chen was right beside her, so Xiao Ran didn't dare to speak openly.

A few minutes later, Xiao Ran had some time alone, perhaps going to the restroom or something similar, which was when she sent the message to Meng Wanyue.

"If you don't go, what will the consequences be?"

Xu Mu looked at Meng Wanyue and asked.

"Knowing Ye Chen's personality, he will definitely find a way to kill me."

Meng Wanyue answered without a second thought.

After all, it was by relying on this notorious reputation that Ye Chen made all his subordinates bow down and submit to him.

For example, when his subordinates were caught before, they would rather die than leak any information about Ye Chen.

It wasn't out of loyalty, but because if they leaked it, Ye Chen would kill them, and even the people around them.

"Then I'll let him know that he can't lay a hand on you."

Xu Mu sneered. "Wanyue, I'll go with you. I'd like to see what he thinks he can do to you."

"Brother Mu, I'll listen to you."

Meng Wanyue nodded.

"Brother, let me go with you guys too."

Dai Xingluo asked from the side.

"No, Ye Chen is very strong. I don't want to expose you in the open right now; you're my trump card."

Xu Mu looked at Dai Xingluo with a smile.

[Affection +10]

Dai Xingluo immediately beamed with joy. "Oh, Brother, why must you tell such honest truths?"

"I managed to get another cultivation technique this time. When I come back, I'll let you and Wanyue practice it."

Ever since he found out about Dai Xingluo's filial piety value toward him, Xu Mu had completely opened his heart to her, letting go of the tiny bit of estrangement in his mind.

[Affection +10]

Dai Xingluo revealed a faint smile. "Brother is the best brother in the world."

Xu Mu waved his hand and headed to the destination with Meng Wanyue.

...

Yang City.

A restaurant on the outskirts of the city area.

Xu Mu and Meng Wanyue arrived at the location.

Using his perception to sweep the area, he found Ye Chen inside a private room on the third floor of the restaurant.

There were two other people beside him; one was Xiao Ran, and the other was Zhang Hehua.

Xu Mu remembered this woman. He had seen her before when he went to see Ye Chen with Meng Wanyue.

The plot also recorded that she was about the same age as Meng Wanyue and had always treated her as a rival.

She was unconvinced and resentful, wondering why Ye Chen valued Meng Wanyue more, which led her to harbor hatred toward Meng Wanyue.

"Wanyue, you go up first. I'll follow shortly."

Xu Mu revealed a confident smile. "You must remember one thing right now: you are my, Xu Mu's, person."

Meng Wanyue's eyes were filled with emotion as she nodded heavily. "Yes!"

After getting out of the car, Meng Wanyue took a deep breath, walked briskly upstairs, and knocked on the door of the private room.

Upon hearing the voice inside, Meng Wanyue walked in.

"Dragon King, you were looking for me."

Meng Wanyue said plainly.
