CHAPTER 36: CHAPTER 35: THE ONE WHO CONTROLS YOUR LIFE AND DEATH

AM.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

He heard a faint noise coming from outside.

The sound was so light, even a cat walking was louder. But even so, it couldn’t escape Yang Chen’s detection.

Last night the two girls seemed to have played around until about half past ten before resting.

Yang Chen got out of bed and glanced outside, inadvertently pursing his lips into a smile, thinking to himself how energetic Ye Xin was.

Indeed, the person sneaking out was Ye Xin.

Ye Xin got into the MINI car and drove straight out of the villa area.

...

Zhengshang Blue Crystal District, 26th floor!

This was where Wang Hao usually rested after practicing boxing at the gym.

Because his wife was always busy, traveling all over the place, they rarely had time together, so he simply bought a place nearby to stay when she was away.

Of course, he wasn’t the only one living here; there was also one of his students. The two had been secretly involved for a long time.

This woman was younger than his wife, gentler than his wife, better at pleasing him, more obedient, and everything about her satisfied him.

After their physical conquest, they did not bother to clean up and just fell asleep in each other’s arms, like a couple madly in love in their youth.

In the middle of the night, Wang Hao was suddenly startled awake.

He had a nightmare where a terrifying shadow was slowly cutting open his chest with a knife, and he had no resistance, only able to watch as the blood gushed out...

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, realizing it was just a dream, and couldn’t help but exhale deeply.

Whoosh!

A cold gleam flashed.

Before Wang Hao could react, he felt a tickle at the tip of his nose as a cold gleam whizzed past his cheek and slammed into the wall.

By the time Wang Hao came to his senses, a sharp pain was already spreading from the tip of his nose, and blood was flowing down.

The dagger had moved so quickly and sharply that when it grazed the tip of his nose, his nerves didn’t even have time to transmit the pain.

Cold sweat as large as beans began to drip down Wang Hao’s forehead, his body stiff as if filled with cement. He struggled to turn his head, staring at the shadow hidden in the corner by the window sill.

"Who are you..." Wang Hao managed to squeeze these three words out of his throat.

As if these three words had drained all his courage, a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back after he finished speaking.

He knew if this person was really here to kill him, he wouldn’t even have the chance to speak.

In the corner of the window’s screen, under the shadows, it was hard to notice unless one looked closely, but there was a silhouette standing there, seemingly blending into the darkness.

The silhouette spoke with a neutral voice, clearly electronically altered, "The one who controls your life and death!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao couldn’t help but shiver.

Indeed, the person before him controlled his life and death.

Looking at the knife flashing coldly in the shadow’s hand, Wang Hao felt a chill spread through his heart.

He thought of his boxing gym, the ’Boxing King’ from Beihai Country he hired, remembered how people feared and respected him, recalled his bank savings, and the female student he had just been with earlier.

All of this, he was reluctant to give up.

To him, his life was already successful.

He had a powerful wife, a profitable gym, great reputation, and a stunningly beautiful lover skilled in bedroom arts.

He was unwilling to give all this up now.

So, gritting his teeth, he plucked up the courage to ask, "Please, is there something I did wrong? I’m willing to pay any price, apologize, even donate all my money!"

The shadow let out a cold laugh, the electronically altered voice eerily sinister, like death’s voice from hell, "I have no interest in your petty wealth."

Wang Hao’s heart sank to the bottom.

When faced with someone who couldn’t be swayed by money, any further words were futile.

But was he just supposed to sit and wait for death?

Wang Hao was unwilling.

He thought of the weapon hidden in the bedside cabinet, considering making a desperate move!

Whoosh!

Another cold flash shot towards him!

Wang Hao’s body froze. By the time he reacted, a burning sensation was already present on his ear.

The knife had grazed past his ear, and he hadn’t reacted at all! Wang Hao finally understood the gap between them.

"If you dare have any more wayward thoughts, the next knife will shoot into your eye socket, do you believe it?" The voice from the shadow sounded like judgment from hell.

"I believe! I believe!" Wang Hao nodded quickly, like millet pecking rice. Even when he was in school, he had never been so obedient.

"Good, I’m just here to warn you not to mess with the wrong people, or you might lose your life. Who knows, tomorrow morning the news might report an incident of a married boxer and his lover committing suicide at home."

Wang Hao understood that the person before him knew him well, having investigated him for an unknown period, while he knew nothing about the shadow.

The chill in his heart intensified.

"I’ve delivered the message, comprehend it well!" said the shadow.

"Yes!" Wang Hao replied, lowering his head.

"Close your eyes!"

Wang Hao obediently closed his eyes.

He only felt a breeze graze his cheek, and then the room fell silent.

When he opened his eyes, the figure in the room was already gone.

He turned to look at the bedside, even those two daggers were gone, he hadn’t even noticed when they were taken away!

If that person wanted his life, it would have been as easy as pie!

When did he offend such a figure?

Wang Hao racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out.

"Darling, why aren’t you sleeping?" the female student asked lazily, wrapping her arms around Wang Hao.

Looking at the female student’s beautiful body sprawled across the bed, a sense of despair welled up in Wang Hao’s heart.

Two daggers had been left here, and the student hadn’t noticed a thing.

The gap was simply too large!

"Darling, have I offended anyone recently? I just feel unsettled!" Wang Hao asked.

Women’s intuition was always sharp, so he wanted to see if the student remembered anything.

The student grumbled, "Who could you offend? The only one offending people is your brother-in-law. Alright darling, let’s sleep quickly, we have to go to the gym early tomorrow."

Her words woke him up like a slap in the face!

A shiver ran through Wang Hao’s body as his eyes lit up with a flash of insight, "It’s Chen Xiaolong!"

The student was right, although he too came from a rough background, his current status and success were built through effort. But after cleaning up his act, he was doing legitimate business, talking serious partnerships, and always treated people and matters with extreme politeness. How could he have offended anyone?

It was only Chen Xiaolong who offended people!

Whenever Chen Xiaolong caused trouble outside, wasn’t it always him cleaning up the mess?

But how did Chen Xiaolong manage to offend someone so formidable?

Suddenly!

He remembered something Chen Xiaolong told him yesterday.

Someone had beaten him up, alone taking down twenty people!

"It’s him!" Wang Hao immediately confirmed, a chill running through him simultaneously.

Thankfully, he didn’t stand out aggressively back then...
