Chapter 357: You Aren’t Going To Kill Me, Are You?

“Sis, are we just going to let that jerk off?” Rena roared.
“His words are clear enough. Our family isn’t big. If we enrage him, he’ll surely kill our people,” Reya said.
“Our family is rich. Why should we be scared of him?”
“We can kill him, but he can kill one of our people. It’s not worth it.” Reya looked at Rena.
“So this is over?” Rena asked, not willing to give up.
“Yes, it ends now. Why would you provoke such an insane person?”
“I’m tired. I’m going back to sleep.” Rena turned around and left.
Unlike the young Rena, Reya was much more rational.
Given that Chen Zhao could defeat Rena’s twelve bodyguards, he could certainly kill anyone he wanted.
Perhaps they could kill Chen Zhao with their clan’s power, but what would happen before that?
Nobody would want to go near a red-eyed mad dog.
Their family motto was to keep a low profile. Enemies that were not irreconcilable should not even be treated as enemies.
In this society, nobody could kill a person easily.
Even illegal gangs might not dare to, because killing a person required careful handling.
Burying the corpse was far from being sufficient.
If the clues were not all removed, they would be discovered without difficulty.
As a clan that had been passed down for dozens of generations, they upheld their low-profile ideology very seriously.
Reya took out her phone. “Dad, it’s over.”
“Yes... How’s Rena?”
“She wanted revenge, but now she’s tired and resting.”
“How’s Jarl and the others?”
“Very severely injured. They’re all in the hospital.”
“Then who would protect Rena?”
“I don’t have enough men with me. Also, if you send more people here, I’m worried that she’ll find that person again. Small conflicts don’t matter, but if we really enrage that guy...”
“Can we buy him?”
“He’s too expensive. It’s not worth it to hire him as a mere bodyguard.”
“Then bring Rena back.”
“Only if she’s willing to leave.”
“Is there no solution?”
“Let me think.” Reya rubbed her forehead.
“Please, end this quickly. Don’t let Rena create more trouble.”
...
Just when Chen Zhao reached home, he received a call from a stranger. “Mr. Chen.”
“You are?”
“I’m Reya. We met at the dock.”
“Yes?”
“Do you want some extra income?”
“You aren’t going to kill me, are you?”
“To be honest, I feel that the conflict between you and Rena is only a kids’ horseplay.”
“You’re saying I’m a kid?”
“Alright, the serious topic. I’ll pay for you to pretend dead, just so that Rena can forget about all this. What do you say?”
“How much is that?”
“Five hundred thousand.”
Chen Zhao was speechless. These rich people would give a few hundred dollars just for him to act.
Were they even treating money as money?
“Can it go any higher?”
“Goodbye.”
“Wait, I accept. What should I do?”
“Think of something that you can act safely.”
“Tomorrow afternoon, bring me onto the yacht, tie me up tightly and throw me into the sea,” Chen Zhao said.
“Do you need me to arrange someone to save you?”
“No, just do all those. I’ll escape myself, but I hope there won’t be too many people on the yacht. I don’t want to be beaten up again.”
“Sure,” Reya agreed without hesitation.
Both of them were really frustrated by the event, so they wanted to end it as soon as possible.
...
“Chen, you’re back.”
“Yeah,” Chen Zhao nodded, but he did not turn the lights on.
He really did not want Fali to worry. After showering, he went onto the bed quietly.
The next day, Chen Zhao left the house before Fali even got up.
When he arrived in Ethan’s motel, Ethan was astonished by his wound-filled face.
“What happened?”
“The client last night.”
“So what happened?” Ethan asked, frowning.
“The client had some personal conflict with me. It was a trap.”
“I’ll take revenge for you.”
“No, this whole thing is over. Stay out of it,” Chen Zhao said, shaking his head.
“You sure?”
“She’s just a girl. What can you do? Find people to gang-rape her?”
“Fine, since you said it’s over.”
“Hi, Mr. Chen. Have you had breakfast?” Li Qing carried a tray of sandwiches out from the oven and placed it on the counter.
Chen Zhao grabbed a sandwich and began eating. “No, or else why would I be here?”
“Li, you work here. Can you stop helping an outsider?” Ethan complained.
“Auntie Li, you look much better today.”
“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chen.”
In fact, Li Qing did not just look better. She even had something that she never had before.
“Mr. Ethan, I suggest you don’t go out during this period. I’ve been seeing many shooting events on the news. Maybe you should go out when it’s more peaceful,” Li Qing advised.
Of course, Li Qing knew where Ethan would normally go: either red light districts or bars.
“It’s my problem. Who can sit in the motel all day?”
“Then please be careful.”
Chen Zhao glanced at Li Qing and could not help but ask, “Auntie Li, do you know physiognomy?”
Chen Zhao talked to Li Qing in Chinese so that Ethan would not understand them.
“Haha... It’s just some outdated stuff. It all depends on whether you believe in it. Let’s not talk about this.”
“I really believe in this kind of stuff. Can you look at my physiognomy?” Chen Zhao asked sincerely.
“Mr. Chen, I can’t tell anything from your face.”
“Why? Is it not convenient for you to say?”
“No, no, I really can’t tell. There are some rules to my inherited technique. Those whose faces are sealed by the three yin or blocked by the six hills cannot be understood.”
“What do you mean?”
“The three yin refer to seeing a ghost, entering a ghost gate, and dealing with a ghost. The yin energy would seal the person’s physiognomy. Mr. Chen, you must have done one of them, right?”
“Then what are the six hills?” Chen Zhao did not give a direct reply.
“True self, those who have experienced major ups and downs, those who have an unshakable will, those who have returned from death, those who possess supernatural skills, and those who do not believe in it. Apart from true self, the other five are unpredictable, not within the control of destiny, and therefore cannot be understood.”
“Did you see something on Ethan?”
“Mr. Ethan’s face has been covered in evil recently. His luck is dissipating and he also has no house to shelter him outside, so he’ll surely run into trouble. When a person is out of luck, even a small event may cause death. That’s why I suggest he stay in the motel, where he’ll be protected. He can go out when his luck regathers.”
