My Ares Son-in-Law

He Haiyue's visit this time has an extremely important purpose.

She was well aware that Xiao Chen's actions at the auction and their private meeting had all been documented on the surveillance footage.

Given Lu Haoxuan's vengeful nature, once he discovers these surveillance records, he will definitely follow the clues to find Xiao Chen, thus causing Xiao Chen unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, she originally intended to personally delete all surveillance records related to Xiao Chen today, nipping any potential troubles in the bud, to ensure that the delicate relationship between the He family and Xiao Chen would not be easily noticed by outsiders.

She walked towards the monitoring room with light yet firm steps.

When she stretched out her slender fingers and gently pushed open the heavy door of the monitoring room, the scene before her made her body freeze instantly, her beautiful face suddenly changed color, and her originally calm eyes were now filled with shock and anger.

The monitoring room was in a mess. A security guard lay on the ground, unconscious, his body twisted at an odd angle, clearly having suffered an external attack.

The surveillance equipment that was originally neatly arranged had been clearly disturbed; some of the wires were torn, and some of the screens were broken, flickering with an eerie light.

He Haiyue's heart skipped a beat, and an ominous premonition welled up in her mind.

She was still a step too late!
With her keen insight into the situation, she instantly judged that the only family that could break into this place and had the ability and motive to do so was the Lu family!
Lu Haoxuan is the kind of guy who never suffers a loss. He suffered a loss at the auction today, so he will definitely try his best to get revenge.

Xiao Chen undoubtedly became the target of his revenge.

Thinking of this, He Haiyue's heart tightened; Xiao Chen was in danger!

Although Xiao Chen had just rejected her father's sincere invitation in the penthouse suite without any politeness, which made her quite unhappy.

She originally thought that since the He family valued Xiao Chen so much and offered such generous terms, Xiao Chen would gladly agree. However, she did not expect him to refuse so firmly, which made her feel that she and the He family had lost face.

But when she thought of the pill that caused such a stir at the auction and the enormous benefits and potential prestige it brought to the He family, He Haiyue could not sit idly by.

This elixir not only greatly enhanced the He family's status in the martial arts world, but also attracted the attention and goodwill of many forces.

If Xiao Chen's matter causes unnecessary trouble for the He family, or even affects the future development of the He family, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.

The He family must acknowledge this favor, since Xiao Chen, to some extent, was an indirect factor in bringing this opportunity to the He family.

"Wolfhawk".

He Haiyue lowered her head slightly, a resolute glint in her eyes, and called out softly.

Although her voice was soft, it carried an undeniable authority.

As soon as she finished speaking, a blurry figure appeared silently behind her, as if emerging from the shadows.

The figure was tall and imposing, shrouded in a black bodysuit, with only a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes visible, gleaming coldly in the darkness.

"Miss, please give me your orders."

The wolf-eagle's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of the earth.

"Follow Xiao Chen and the others immediately."

He Haiyue spoke faster, a hint of anxiety in her eyes, her command clear and decisive: "If he is in mortal danger, save him once."

"It can be considered... repaying the debt my He family owed him."

"Remember, be careful and don't let the Lu family find out your whereabouts."

"Yes, miss!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the figure known as Wolfhawk nodded slightly, his movements clean and swift, like that of a well-trained warrior. Then, his figure vanished into the shadows once more, like a ghost, disappearing without a trace, as if he had never been there.

He Haiyue stood there, gazing in the direction where the wolf eagle had disappeared, silently praying that Xiao Chen would be safe and sound.

……

The magnificent main entrance of the Qinren Club resembles the entrance to a glittering, luxurious palace.

A huge crystal chandelier hung from the high dome, emitting a soft yet dazzling light that illuminated the entire entrance as bright as day.

The exquisite marble floor is as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the surrounding magnificent buildings and the figures coming and going.

On either side of the entrance, two enormous golden lion statues stand majestically, as if guarding this luxurious clubhouse.

Xiao Chen and Zhou Keying walked out of the club side by side.

Zhou Keying wore a light blue dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze, like a blue lotus blooming in the night sky.

A sweet smile graced her face, and her eyes revealed her dependence on and trust in Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen wore a simple yet sophisticated black suit, with an upright posture and steady steps, exuding a calm and confident aura.

Qin Lingling followed behind the two with a heavy heart. Her steps were somewhat slow, her eyes were shifty, and she seemed a little absent-minded.

She was wearing a white suit, which, although stylish, could not hide the fatigue and worry on her face.

Her hands gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

Xiao Chen, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped. He turned slightly to look at Qin Lingling, his eyes filled with concern, and asked, "How are you getting home?"

His voice was deep and gentle, like a spring breeze that softly caressed Qin Lingling's heart.

Qin Lingling seemed to be startled by the sudden greeting. She raised her head abruptly, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and said softly, "Mr. Xiao, I... I'll just take a taxi."

Her voice was barely audible, trembling slightly, as if she was afraid that Xiao Chen would see her inner vulnerability.

Xiao Chen was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed, and a sense of doubt welled up in his heart.

Given the Qin Lingling family's past extravagance and their considerable fame in the ancient city, they would always have a dedicated driver waiting for them when they travel. Why would they need to take a taxi themselves?
Could something have really happened to her family?
He had only been in the ancient city for a short time, and during that time, Qin Lingling's father had helped him a great deal.

Whether he encountered difficulties in business or needed help in life, Qin's father always lent a helping hand without hesitation.

Xiao Chen will always remember this friendship.

If the Qin family is truly in trouble, he cannot ignore it, neither out of sentiment nor reason.

"Is there some trouble at home?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Chen asked directly.

His gaze was fixed on Qin Lingling, as if trying to find the answer in her eyes.

Qin Lingling's body trembled, as if she had been struck by an electric current.

Her face grew even paler, and she shook her head repeatedly, her voice strained: "No...nothing like that, Mr. Xiao." (End of Chapter)
