My Ares Son-in-Law

Chapter 7248 Ruthless Marquis Lü Wen

"In this life, Ke Ying can only suffer injustice." Zhou Yanhe sighed, his eyes filled with helplessness and heaviness. "The marriage agreement with the Lü family was arranged by our ancestors and cannot be refused. As for Xiao Chen..."

He changed the subject, his tone tinged with disdain: "Let him be. He may be able to do whatever he wants in the ancient city, but the provincial capital is full of hidden talents and experts. Once he sets foot on this land, he will understand what it means to be out of reach. His arrogance and narrow-mindedness will eventually come at a price!"

“With the wedding date approaching, let Keying stay in the ancient city a few more days.” Zhou Yanhe closed his eyes, his tone revealing a hint of weariness. “This may be her last bit of freedom.”

No sooner had the words left her lips than a ghostly, magnetic voice suddenly rang out in the living room, carrying an innate arrogance: "How can my fiancée, the wife of Marquis Lü Wen, stay in such a remote and impoverished place!"

Zhou Yanhe and Zhou Fenfang trembled as if they had been doused with ice water!
Young Master Lü Wenhou of the Lü family has come uninvited!
When did he sneak into the villa? With their cultivation levels, the two of them didn't even notice the slightest movement!
The couple forced smiles and stiffly turned around. When they saw the young man in brocade robes with a sinister face on the sofa, they immediately bowed and humbly asked, "Young Master Lü, why...why did you suddenly come?"

Lu Wenhou completely ignored their flattery, leisurely took his seat, picked up the purple clay teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea. Suddenly, he slammed his hand on the marble tea table.
The palm strike carried a hidden force, causing the teacup to rise into the air, yet not a drop of tea spilled; he caught it steadily.

He took a sip of fragrant tea before glancing sideways at the pale-faced Zhou couple, a sinister glint in his eyes: "I just returned from the main family in the capital and came specifically to see my fiancée. I heard that quite a few interesting things have happened in the ancient city lately?"

"boom,!"

Before he could finish speaking, the marble coffee table he had just slapped instantly shattered into dust, sending fragments flying everywhere, which terrified Zhou Fenfang, turning her face deathly pale.

Zhou Yanhe was drenched in cold sweat, his back already soaked through, and his voice trembled: "Ke Ying is in the ancient city and will be back in a few days. Please calm down, Young Master Lü, and don't ruin our harmony."

"A few days?" A cold glint flashed in Lu Wenhou's eyes, his tone icy and piercing. "I want her back today!"

"Yes, yes, yes, I will follow Young Master Lü's arrangements!" Zhou Yanhe quickly agreed, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

Just then, footsteps came from the stairs. Zhou Keying's grandmother came downstairs at the sound, and leaning on the railing, she asked in confusion, "Yanhe, what's going on? It's so noisy..."

Before Zhou Yanhe could even speak to stop him, Lu Wenhou gave a sinister smile and made a grasping motion with his five fingers shrouded in black mist!
The old man froze, as if pulled by an invisible force from afar, his neck gripped tightly, and his face instantly turned bright red!

"Young Master Lü! My mother is old and can't take any more trouble. Please, have mercy!" Zhou Fenfang knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down her face, pleading desperately.

Zhou Yanhe's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked, but he dared not utter a word of anger. The Lü family's power was overwhelming, and he simply could not afford to offend them!
Lu Wenhou's palm surged with black energy as he slammed it hard into the old man's back!

"Pfft," the old man fainted on the spot, foaming at the mouth, his body limp on the ground, his breath weak.

"Hahaha!" Lu Wenhou laughed loudly, his tone maniacal. "Now this old woman is afflicted with my unique hidden force, 'Bone-Corroding Cold,' and no one in the world can cure her! Ke Ying is so filial, she will surely rush back to beg me, right?"

……

Inside the villa in the ancient city, warm yellow light shone on the three of them, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere.

After dinner, Xiao Chen leaned back on the sofa, while Zhou Keying and Yun Yuyan sat side by side watching a comedy. The sound of silvery laughter occasionally filled the living room, dispelling the gloom of the past few days.

With Xunjiang Group on track, the two women finally had some free time, and they cherished these relaxed and carefree days.

Xiao Chen looked at the two beauties laughing together on the sofa and shook his head helplessly. If Jiang Meng were here too, making a trio, how perfect that would be. Sometimes he would also crave this warmth, letting his tense nerves completely relax. Although his path was the path of the God of War, using killing to stop killing, who in this world is born bloodthirsty? It's just that they are forced by the world; if they are not strong, they will eventually be devoured by others.

In China, the law of the jungle has always prevailed, and this is especially true in the martial arts world.

Suddenly, Zhou Keying's phone rang urgently, breaking the silence in the room.

"Sister Yuyan, I need to take this call." She picked up her phone casually, straightened her clothes, and walked to the corner of the living room. However, the smile on her face froze the moment the call connected, and her pupils contracted sharply.

After hearing something said on the other end of the phone, her eyes quickly reddened, and large tears welled up in them. She grabbed her coat from the sofa and hurriedly put it on, then said urgently to Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan, "I have to go back to the provincial capital. Something urgent has happened at home!"

Before the two could respond, the beautiful figure had already rushed out the door like the wind, forgetting even to take her handbag.

It was only after Zhou Keying had been gone for a long time that Xiao Chen and Yun Yuyan finally came to their senses.

Yun Yuyan quickly walked to the door and looked out, frowning as she said, "Xiao Chen, Keying is usually calm and composed, but she's so out of sorts today. She didn't even bring her handbag. Has something serious happened?"

Xiao Chen's eyes darkened; a premonition had formed in his heart. Having spent these past few days with Zhou Keying, he knew her personality well; she would never be so flustered unless something catastrophic happened. Could it be that something terrible had occurred to the Zhou family?

He strode to the balcony, swiped his phone screen, and dialed Di Tianyan's number. The provincial capital was the territory of the War God Alliance, so asking him would be the quickest way.

"What are your orders, Alliance Leader?" came Di Tianyan's respectful voice from the other end of the phone.

"Immediately investigate the Zhou family's current situation, the more detailed the better, and the faster the better." Xiao Chen's tone had returned to calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.

"As ordered!"

As soon as Xiao Chen hung up the phone and lit a cigarette, the phone rang urgently again.

"Alliance Leader, we've found out!" Di Tianyan's voice was grave. "The Zhou family couple rushed an elderly woman to the Provincial Capital's First Hospital. It's suspected that Miss Zhou's grandmother is critically ill; her condition is extremely urgent!"

Xiao Chen frowned deeply. He had noticed the old man at the birthday banquet; he seemed quite robust and energetic. How could he suddenly be critically ill? There must be something fishy going on!

Just as he was pondering, Di Tianyan continued to report, his tone becoming increasingly solemn: "There are a few more things I need to report to you, all of which are related to the provincial capital."

"speak."

"First, the core members of the Lü family in the provincial capital have returned from the main family in the capital. There are five of them, all of whom are martial arts masters. The incident at the birthday banquet will reach their ears sooner or later, and it may be detrimental to you."

"Secondly, the Ming family patriarch was furious upon learning of Ming Hai's death and has dispatched three experts at the Celestial Realm to infiltrate the ancient city, determined to find the real culprit and avenge his son."

"Third, there has been some undercurrent in the provincial capital recently. In addition to the Ming family and the Lü family, there are several other mysterious forces secretly making moves, seemingly vying for something."
