I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

Ye An pointed to an empty storage room next to him, "Have someone clear out all the clutter in there, and just bring me a mattress. You don't need to put anything else in it."

"You want to live in the basement?!" Su Wanqing's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Why would someone choose to live in this dark and damp basement when there are so many luxurious suites upstairs?

If word gets out, people will think that Su Wanqing abused her savior!

"Yes, I live here." Ye An said firmly. "Furthermore, no one is allowed to step into the basement without my permission. Including you."

After saying that, he went straight into the empty room and started moving several large cardboard boxes out.

Su Wanqing stood there, watching Ye An's busy figure, and stomped her feet in anger.

This piece of wood!

She, a stunningly beautiful woman, offered herself up to live with him, but he actually went and slept in the basement!

……

The Wang family mansion in the western suburbs of Jiangcheng.

The entire mansion was brightly lit, yet the atmosphere was as oppressive as a graveyard.

In the spacious council hall, a stretcher was placed in the center.

The stretcher was covered with a white sheet, and the human figure beneath it was already stiff.

Wang Zhentian, the head of the Wang family, stood next to the stretcher.

He was dressed in a black Tang suit, and he was holding two steel walnuts in his hands. The walnuts rolled slowly in his palm, making a dull friction sound.

On both sides of the hall stood more than a dozen core members of the Wang family, each with their heads down and deliberately keeping their breathing quiet.

"Click."

A soft sound.

Wang Zhentian slowly tightened his grip, squeezing and deforming the two hard steel walnuts in his palm, producing a sickening metallic twisting sound.

What he held in his hand was not a walnut, but the face of the Wang family.

Now, that face has been trampled underfoot and crushed.

"Who did it?"

Wang Zhentian spoke, his voice not loud, but it lowered the temperature in the hall by a few degrees.

thump.

The head of the bodyguards who had accompanied Wang Tianlong to the banquet suddenly collapsed to his knees, his forehead slamming against the cold floor with a loud thud.

"Master...it was...it was a brat named Ye An!" He was trembling violently, his words incoherent. "He snapped Young Master Tianlong's neck in front of everyone!"

The head of the bodyguards dared not admit that he didn't even have time to react at the time, so he could only exaggerate the situation.

"Su Hongchuan from the Su family was also present. He protected that guy surnamed Ye and even said... he said he would completely shut down the Wang family's businesses!"

"Ye An? Su Hongchuan?"

Wang Zhentian laughed, a low laugh that sent chills down one's spine.

Wang Tianlong was his most useless nephew; his death was no big deal.

But where you die and who kills you are very important.

The Su family, who are just money hustlers, dare to interfere in the Wang family's affairs? And they even dare to threaten to blacklist them?

"waste."

Wang Zhentian didn't even glance at the bodyguard leader before kicking him.

The man flew out like a tattered sack, crashed into a mahogany pillar five meters away, slid to the ground, spat out a mouthful of blood, and lay motionless.

The people in the hall twitched their eyelids and lowered their heads even further.

"So this is the Su family! Do they really think they can shit on my Wang family's head just because they've made a few stinking bucks?" Wang Zhentian turned around, walked to the main seat, and sat down.

He knew perfectly well that the Su family dared to do this because they had money.

But in Jiangcheng, money has never been the most useful thing.

The Wang family was able to gain a foothold because of its strength.

However, by his generation, the younger generation in the family were all spoiled and no one was willing to endure the hardship of martial arts training.

Wang Zhentian had no choice but to spend a lot of money to hire several real experts from outside to keep at home, serving as a facade and also as a trump card.

"Go and invite the three honored guests out," Wang Zhentian instructed the steward beside him.

The butler bowed and accepted the order, then quickly withdrew.

He thought to himself, "It seems the patriarch is really angry, even bringing out these three powerful figures who are not easily moved."

Not long after, three figures entered the hall.

The leader was an old man in a gray robe with completely white hair, but his face was not wrinkled. He walked as if his feet didn't touch the ground, like a ghost.

Behind him were two men, one as thin as a bamboo pole and the other a bald, fat man with a constant smile on his face.

These three are the three top experts supported by the Wang family.

The old man in the gray robe is Zhao Wuji, the skinny man is Li Gui, and the fat man is Qian Duoduo.

They were all martial artists who had mastered internal strength; in Jiangcheng, they could roam freely without fear.

Especially Zhao Wuji, who is said to be only one step away from becoming a legendary Grandmaster.

"Master Wang, what's the rush? You didn't even have time to finish your sleeping tea."

Zhao Wuji glanced at the stretcher on the ground, then at the unconscious bodyguard, his tone indifferent.

He doesn't care who dies, he only cares about the price.

Wang Zhentian stood up, cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the three of them, and adopted a very humble posture:

"Masters, Tianlong has been murdered. Now the Su family wants to cut off my Wang family's business ties. I, Wang, cannot swallow this insult."

"The Su family? A bunch of businessmen, dare to fight with martial artists?"

Skinny Li Gui sneered, his voice high-pitched and thin, like fingernails scraping against glass.

Fatty Qian Duoduo smiled and touched his bald head:

"Patriarch, just tell us directly, what do you want us brothers to do?"

A fierce glint flashed in Wang Zhentian's eyes.

"First, spread the word. A bounty of one hundred million is offered for the head of that kid named Ye An! I want everyone in Jiangcheng's underworld to see what happens when they mess with the Wang family!"

One billion!

A collective gasp filled the hall.

Spending 100 million yuan on the death of a collateral relative is an excessive amount.

But then I thought, this money was also meant to put pressure on the Su family and to save face for the Wang family.

"Secondly," Wang Zhentian looked at Zhao Wuji and the other two, "that kid isn't hiding; he's staying at Villa No. 1 in Longquan Mansion. I'll trouble the three of you to make a trip there personally. Before dawn, I want to use his head as a sacrifice to Tianlong!"

Longquan Mingdi Villa No. 1?

Zhao Wuji considered it in his mind.

That's the Su family's territory, the residence of Su Wanqing, the eldest daughter of the Su family.

It seems this kid has a close relationship with the Su family.

However, that's all.

"If you take someone's money, you have to solve their problems." Zhao Wuji nodded. "Don't worry, patriarch. He's just an arrogant young man. With the three of us brothers, he won't see the sun rise tomorrow."

In his opinion, this job was too easy.

Even if a young person starts practicing martial arts from the womb, how high can their cultivation level be?

After saying this, the three of them turned around and walked out of the hall, their figures quickly disappearing into the night.

……

Longquan Mansion, basement of Villa No. 1.

This place has been converted into a simple bedroom, with nothing but a futon and a thin blanket on the floor.

Su Hongchuan was very efficient; all the medicinal herbs Ye An needed had been delivered.

Without delay, Ye An drew a simple magic circle on the ground with cinnabar, then unpacked the packets of medicinal herbs and placed them in different categories at various nodes of the magic circle.

He sat cross-legged in the wooden tub in the center of the magic circle and made a hand seal.

"Spirit-Seizing Array, activate."
