My Ares Son-in-Law

Wolfhawk continued, "The whole thing happened so fast, I didn't even have time to react..."

After hearing all the details, an unprecedented look of horror flashed in He Haiyue's eyes.

She stared wide-eyed at the wolf-eagle, as if she couldn't believe her ears.

"With a single move of his hand, he severed the arms of two Tongtian Realm experts from the Lu family!"

"Single-handedly and easily killed three martial arts experts!"

"That requires immense strength and terrifying methods!"

"Moreover, he is ruthless and merciless, killing strong individuals as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs!"

"This almost unbelievable thing actually happened."

"What shocked her even more was that the protagonist was a young man who was only about twenty years old!"

"In her memory, most young people of this age are still growing up under the protection of their families, or have just entered the world of martial arts and are still working hard to improve their strength."

"But Xiao Chen already possesses such terrifying strength and methods, which is simply beyond her comprehension."

She didn't know how Xiao Chen did it, whether he had some special technique or was supported by a powerful force behind him.
But she knew perfectly well that the consequences of this would be unimaginable.

The Lu family will absolutely not let this go and will do everything in their power to hunt down Xiao Chen. They will also take their anger out on people and forces related to Xiao Chen.

Although the He family was not weak, it seemed insignificant in the face of a behemoth like the Lu family.

If this matter is not handled properly, the He family could face utter destruction.

Thinking of this, He Haiyue frowned even more, her heart filled with worry and helplessness.

Without the slightest hesitation, He Haiyue's finger slid quickly across the screen, accurately finding her father's phone number, and then decisively dialed it.

The beeping tone on the other end of the phone felt like a thud on her tense heartstrings, making her heart beat faster involuntarily.

Things have developed to this point, far beyond her control and decision-making power.

Lu Haoxuan's death is like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, which will stir up a huge storm in the ancient city, and she has no idea what the direction and consequences of this storm will be.

She could only place her hopes on her father, hoping that his rich experience and strong abilities would allow him to find a way to deal with the crisis.

Finally, his father's calm and authoritative voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Haiyue, what's the matter that you're in such a hurry to see me?"

He Haiyue took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then told her father the whole story in detail, without reservation, including Xiao Chen's strength, the deaths of Lu Haoxuan and others, and the predicament she was currently facing.

The father was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then let out a long sigh:

"This is a tricky situation,"

"You should hold back for now,"

"Wait until I get back and we can discuss a solution."

He Haiyue responded quickly:
"Yes, Father,"

"I'll wait for you to come back."

After hanging up the phone, she felt as if half of her strength had been drained away, and her body swayed slightly, but she quickly regained her balance.

After hanging up the phone, He Haiyue's eyes turned cold and resolute. She looked at Wolf Eagle standing beside her and gave the order in an icy and firm tone:
"Clean up the body quickly and thoroughly, leaving no trace."

"Then find someone with a clean background, preferably someone who has no relatives or friends and no presence in society, to send the body back to the Lu family." "After the matter is settled, also get rid of the person who sent the body and erase all traces."

"This matter must be handled flawlessly; we cannot allow the Lu family to find any fault with the He family in any detail."

Wolfhawk was taken aback, a look of surprise and confusion on his face. He hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking:
"Send them back to the Lu family?"

"Wouldn't that be tantamount to laying our cards on the table and letting the Lu family know that it was the He family who were pulling the strings behind the scenes?"

"If that happens, the Lu family will definitely vent their anger on the He family. Wouldn't we be courting death?"

Looking at the three cold, jarring corpses, He Haiyue's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and resolve as she spoke in a heavy tone:
"This matter is beyond the control of the He family."

"Given the strength and methods Xiao Chen has demonstrated, since he dared to kill Lu Haoxuan, he must not be afraid of the Lu family's retaliation."

"If the Lu family eventually traces it back to Xiao Chen, then we have no choice but to stand by and do nothing."

"Xiao Chen should bear the consequences of what he did."

“Our He family cannot be plunged into an abyss because of his reckless behavior.”

"What we need to do now is to distance ourselves from this matter as much as possible and protect the interests of the He family."

Wolfhawk lowered its head slightly after hearing He Haiyue's words, pondered for a moment, then raised its head, its eyes filled with determination, and bowed to accept the order:
"Understood, Miss!"

"I'll arrange it right away, and there won't be any mistakes."

After saying that, he turned and left in a hurry, and began to deal with the body and look for a suitable replacement.

……

The milk tea shop on the street corner is decorated in a warm and elegant style, with soft lighting in every corner, creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere.

Soft music plays inside, making you feel as if you are in a peaceful world.

Zhou Keying sat by the window, idly stirring her milk tea, which formed a small vortex as she stirred it.

Her eyes kept glancing towards the door, her heart filled with worry and unease.

For some reason, ever since Xiao Chen left to go to the restroom, she had felt a vague unease.

The feeling was like the oppressive calm before a storm, making her restless.

She kept imagining all sorts of dangerous situations that might occur in her mind, and the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

It wasn't until she saw Xiao Chen push the door open and enter that she felt a huge weight lifted from her heart. She let out a long sigh of relief, and her tense body instantly relaxed.

"Xiao Chen, why did it take you so long to go to the restroom?"

"It's been almost twenty minutes,"

"The milk tea is almost cold!"

Zhou Keying said with a hint of reproach, but her eyes were full of concern and dependence.

She pretended to be angry to hide her inner worries.

Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a warm and gentle smile. That smile was like the sunlight piercing through the clouds in spring, carrying a wisp of warmth that instantly dispelled the lingering unease in Zhou Keying's heart.

This smile was completely different from the cold-blooded killer he had been in the dark alley. Back then, his eyes were sharp as swords, and his moves were ruthless and merciless, as if he were a demon who had walked out of hell. But now, he was just a gentle and kind boy next door.

He reached out and gently picked up the milk tea cup from the table; it seemed rather small in his large hand. (End of Chapter)
