Chen Xiaobei said nothing but he promised himself that even if Wenren Muyue and Miao Yiyue took a step backwards, he would not!

He would not allow the three children to suffer for some stupid idea of a bigger picture.

Of course, Chen Xiaobei had another reason to do so.

Lu Yiju belonged to the South Town Lu Family!

They were the arch nemesis of Chen Xiaobei!

This gave Chen Xiaobei no reason to let Lu Yiju get away!

"Children, I will take this bad man away first. Then I will call your parents to get you discharged from the hospital!"

Miao Yiyue looked unhappy. He was obviously sorry for what he was about to do.

Although the children understood nothing about what they were talking about on the phone, they all but knew was that Miao Yiyue was going to take the bad man away. This made them all very happy.

Wenren Muyue said nothing, looking very upset.

They had no choice. They were stuck in a situation where they had to compromise. No matter how difficult it was, they had to retreat!

A lot of things that the adults did were involuntary!

Soon after that, Miao Yiyue took Lu Yiju with him.

Wenren Muyue and Chen Xiaobei accompanied the children for a while and then left the place.

Once they were outside the gate of the hospital, Wenren Muyue spoke up first. "Mr. Chen, Sorry about today. This must look like a joke to you!"

"No. Not at all…" Chen Xiaobei shook his head and said, "I believe that you and Master Miao are genuinely good people. You have your own reasons for doing so…"

"Thank you for understanding…"

Wenren Muyue looked down towards her feet.

Although Chen Xiaobei did not reprimand her, she was very disappointed in herself.

For her, making such decision was effortless . The ones who would have to bear the long term costs were the children; becoming an innocent sacrifice.

Chen Xiaobei comforted her, "Stop thinking too much. You must believe that those who do evil will be punished indefinitely!"

"Mm, I do believe it. I hope that day will come soon." Wenren Muyue nodded then changed the subject. "It's getting late, can I buy you dinner?"

"There's no need for that. I have an appointment with my friend. Maybe next time."

Chen Xiaobei was no longer a young, hormone-driven young man who would be so naively bewitched by a beautiful woman.

"Oh… Okay…" Wenren Muyue was taken aback. She did not expect to be rejected.

If her memories served her right, this was her first time being rejected.

After saying his goodbye, Chen Xiaobei left.

He, however did not really leave. He had been hiding at the corner of the street where he had a good view of the hospital.

He waited patiently like a leopard stalking its prey.

It paid off. After a short while, he saw Lu Yiju changing out of his uniform and leaving the hospital in a luxurious flying car.

Chen Xiaobei stepped onto the Somersault Cloud and started trailing Lu Yiju.

...

1st Street.

Lu Yiju drove on into a mansion that looked very much like a castle.

Although he was a disgraced illegitimate son, he still managed to achieve the status of a half-noble, and was granted permanent residence in 1st Street. This was only because he had the Lu Family by his side.

"Master, why the long face? Are you unhappy?"

A beautiful woman dressed in a maid's uniform walked out of the mansion and greeted him with a smile.

"I don't want to talk about it!" Lu Yiju said in a frustrated manner, "Some little twat came out of nowhere and destroyed the plan that I had so meticulously set up. Now I don't know how I am going to make more money in the future!"

"Master's plan is too simple and crude. Sooner or later, someone will find out. Why are you so angry?" The woman gently smiled.

"Those who stop me from earning money is similar to them killing my parents! Why shouldn't I be angry?" Lu Yiju said angrily.

"The old man has given you quite a lot of money…" said the woman.

"Whatever! My cheapass father has never treated me like his own son! He only gave me that little bit of money! I can't even choose between drinking or buying the lottery! Had I not done anything about it, I would've died of hunger a long time ago!"

"Dinner is ready. You won't die of hunger." The woman smiled, deftly changing the topic.

Lu Yiju, however, did not fall for it.

"Sister Lin! My father sent you here to protect me, not to fool me! How dare you keep smiling after I've suffered such a big loss?"

Sister Lin asked, "Then, what should I do to please you?"

"It's simple. Kill that little twat for me! Then I won't be mad!" Lu Yiju slyly said.

"Alright. Tell me who he is. I will go now. I will bring his head back for you!"

Sister Lin looked as if she was joking but in her eyes gleamed a murderous resolve.

Lu Yiju was the only person who knew that this smiley woman was actually a golden-tier assassin! Before she was sent to protect him, she had killed no less than 1,000 people!

That was like killing one person every single day for three years in a row! This was a cold-blooded woman who would kill without so much as batting an eye!

"I don't know who he is… But Wenren Muyue called him Mr. Chen and the brats were calling him Brother Zhufeng! If so, his name must be Chen Zhufeng!"

"Alright. Then I will send my people to find out about it. I will give you a satisfactory answer in three days!"

Sister Lin was still smiling, her tone light and casual as if she was just cracking a joke.

Somehow, Lu Yiju knew that this woman had been here in Northern Wilderness Starfield for over 10 years. She was not chosen by the Temple but due to her working effeciency, the Lu Family took interest in her and gave her the status of a half-noble.

If she had said that she would settle everything in three days, then she would not delay it. Not even for a minute.

"Alright! Then let's go in and eat! I'm confident that you'll get it done!"

Lu Yiju was smiling a little and his tone sounded a little more upbeat, as if Chen Xiaobei's death was all but confirmed.

"Go on! Eat more! I will have more energy to walk to hell!"

A frosty voice suddenly came from the door of the mansion.

"Who's that?!"

Lu Yiju and Sister Lin turned around taking a good look at the person behind the voice.

"It's you!"

Lu Yiju's eyes widened. Even if this person had turned into dust, he would easily recognize that this was the culprit who stood in his way of making corrupt money – Chen Xiaobei!

"Oh? He's quite a looker!" Sister Lin gave Chen Xiaobei a once-over and smiled flirtatiously. "Come over here, let me give you some love! How is this child so handsome! Girls must go crazy over you!"

"Hehe, you want to show me love? Then get rid of that dagger in your sleeve first!"

Using the Netherspirit Battlescouter in one eye and the Golden Gaze Fiery Eyes in the other, Chen Xiaobei saw right though his enemy!
