My Ares Son-in-Law

These past few days, Lu Fengnan has used all his connections. Although the key surveillance footage has been erased, justice prevails, and he still managed to find out the real culprit who killed his son—Xiao Chen!
Even more unexpectedly, during the investigation, he discovered another force that was also investigating this young man:

Yang Nantian has just returned to the ancient city!

After learning more about the situation, he discovered that the Yang family had suffered an even worse fate; not only had their son died, but their grandson had also perished.

Xiao Chen's backing is deeply entrenched, and although the Lu family is a martial arts family, they still have to be wary of the Wang family and the Yama Palace.

This trip is precisely to seek allies.

Yang Nantian glanced at the finger hole on the table, a glint of light flashing in his eyes: "Does Patriarch Lu also have a grudge against this boy?"

"The hatred of killing a son is irreconcilable!"

"Good!" Yang Nantian slammed his hand on the table. "From this day forward, the Yang family and the Lu family are allies!"

Lu Fengnan nodded in satisfaction; this was exactly the result he wanted: "I just heard that you were going to issue a challenge to force him onto the martial arts stage?"

"That's right. This is the best way right now. Assassination inevitably leaves traces. Wouldn't it be much more satisfying to kill openly and honestly on the martial arts stage?"

Lu Fengnan's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "I have a better plan. According to our investigation, this young man is currently living in a villa in the ancient city and has a close relationship with two women. We will send someone to kidnap one of them. Firstly, we can test his true strength, and secondly, we will make him suffer before he dies! Simply killing him on the martial arts stage is too cheap! My Lu family is willing to provide nine top experts."

Yang Nantian pondered for a moment, glanced at his disciples standing solemnly behind him, and resolutely said, "Fine! I'll send out six of my personal disciples! Let's see what kind of trouble this kid can cause!"

……

It was nearly midnight when Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan left the supermarket.

Although Xiao Chen had successfully reattached Yun Miao's severed arm, Yun Jingtian was still worried and went to the best orthopedic hospital in the ancient city that very night.

Xiao Chen understood the feelings of his elders—a broken bone is no small matter, and no matter how lightly he spoke of it, his elders would inevitably have doubts. If it truly left lasting consequences, it would ruin a lifetime.

Sun Yaoyang and the supermarket leaders have been taken away by the police. They had special connections to get things done, so even the routine interrogation was waived.

this is the truth.

Because it was already quite late, Yun Yuyan waited a long time on the ride-hailing app but no one accepted her order. She was a little annoyed; she should have driven. If the situation hadn't been so urgent, she wouldn't have forgotten to take her car keys.

"Let's walk forward and see if we can flag down a car," Xiao Chen suggested.

"Okay." Yun Yuyan nodded.

As the night breeze grew cooler, Xiao Chen took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

Yun Yuyan trembled slightly, glanced at him sideways, and said nothing.

After walking silently for a while, she suddenly asked softly, "Xiao Chen, are you... are you really just a young man under twenty? Sometimes I just can't understand the way you do things. Like last night, breaking the lock with your bare hands, that's something no ordinary person could do..."

Xiao Chen gazed at the distant, dim lights and said calmly, "Over the years, I've come to understand one thing: people are either bound by rules or they create the rules themselves. I choose the latter."

Yun Yuyan silently recited the sentence, wanting to ask something else, when just then a taxi passed by.

"Master, over here!" she waved quickly.

After the car came to a stop, the two got in one after the other.

Half an hour later, at the Dadu Apartment.

The two quietly finished washing up and went back to their respective rooms.

Xiao Chen had just lain down when the door was gently pushed open. Yun Yuyan stood in the doorway, clutching a pillow, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Little Chenchen, are you asleep yet?"

"Not yet. What's this?" She stuck out her tongue: "Ke Ying is such a restless sleeper, she's taken up the whole bed. She has to get up early tomorrow, and I don't want to wake her up... so I'll just stay here for a few hours."

Yun Yuyan always gets up the earliest, so there's no need to worry about Zhou Keying finding out the next day. Besides, this isn't the first time she's shared a bed with Xiao Chen, so she's sure she can handle things appropriately.

"Alright." Xiao Chen moved to the side to make room.

Yun Yuyan slipped into bed, her pajamas carrying a faint scent of shower gel.

A dozen minutes later, hearing the even breathing behind her, she quietly called Xiao Chen's name twice.

Xiao Chen had already disappeared; it turned out he had gone to sleep on the sofa.

Yun Yuyan sighed helplessly, picked up the pillow, closed her eyes, and gently rose and fell with her breath. After finding a comfortable position, she finally fell into a deep sleep. This was a habit she had developed over the years; she always needed to hold something to fall asleep peacefully.

……

The next morning, when Xiao Chen woke up, Yun Yuyan was no longer beside him. He could hear two girls talking in the living room.

"Keying, why are your eyes swollen? Did you cry last night?" Yun Yuyan asked with concern.

"Is it...not obvious?" Zhou Keying rushed to the bathroom and looked in the mirror. Sure enough, her eyes were puffy.

Although it did not diminish her beauty, it was simply unbearable for her, who strives for perfection in everything.

"What happened? Did someone bully you?"

"It's really nothing, I probably just stayed on the balcony too long in the wind last night," Zhou Keying said vaguely.

Seeing Xiao Chen emerge from the room, looking at her with a half-smile, she hurriedly retreated back into her room and said through the door, "I'm not feeling well today, so I won't be going to the company. But Xiao Chen, I'll be at home drafting the group's development plan, and I'll discuss it with Keying later."

"it is good."

Xiao Chen agreed. With Yun Yuyan and several capable assistants at the helm, coupled with excellent products, the group is now experiencing rapid growth.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the two left together. Yun Yuyan went to the company, while Xiao Chen planned to go see Yun Miao. Before leaving, he put the basic cultivation manual he had been working on overnight into his pocket. If Yun Miao really had talent, this booklet would at least give him the ability to protect himself.

After all, no one can protect anyone for a lifetime.

Xiao Chen went directly to Yun Miao's dormitory.

Downstairs in the girls dormitory.

Xiao Chen glanced at Yun Miao's left arm, which was in a cast: "What did the doctor say?"

“I thought it was definitely a fracture, but the examination showed it was a minor sprain.” Yun Miao scratched her head. “My mom didn’t believe it and took three X-rays in a row. The doctor was almost driven crazy. She said it was like a blessing from the Bodhisattva and went to the temple to fulfill her vow first thing this morning. But I know, big brother, it must be because of you.”

"So sure?"

"Big brother, you're really amazing!" Yun Miao said earnestly.

Xiao Chen smiled and gazed at her: "Want to become as strong as me? Like yesterday?"

Yun Miao was stunned, her Adam's apple bobbing, and she nodded emphatically: "I want to! If I had my older brother's abilities, I wouldn't let others bully me, and I wouldn't stand by and watch my family get beaten!"

She clenched her fists. If Xiao Chen hadn't intervened last night, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Xiao Chen was satisfied with the answer and took out the booklet from his pocket and handed it over: "If you really want to become stronger, you will find the answer you are looking for here."

Yun Miao took the booklet with trembling hands, her gaze falling on the powerful characters on the cover—"Nine Revolutions Profound Yang Technique".

She carefully turned to the first page, her pupils suddenly contracting: "Big brother, could this be...?" (End of Chapter)
