Chapter 146

"No, I have to get out of here!"

Lan Shihao did not dare to linger any longer. He picked up his coat from the hanger, preparing to leave.

However, the very moment Lan Shihao pushed open the door, an innocent voice echoed from the hallway: "Daddy, aren't we going home? What are we doing here?"

It was Yaoyao who spoke!

At that moment, Chu Tianhe was holding Yaoyao's hand, having just appeared in the hallway, running right into Lan Shihao, who was about to push the door and leave!

In the hallway, their eyes met, and Lan Shihao's face drastically changed in an instant!

Although he didn't say a single word, his expression entirely betrayed him!

"Daddy has to take care of some business here. Can we go home a little later?"

Glancing briefly at Lan Shihao, Chu Tianhe turned around and smiled gently at Yaoyao.

"Okay, but please hurry up, Daddy. I'm a little hungry." Yaoyao smiled and replied.

"Alright, it will be very quick."

Chu Tianhe smiled and gently stroked Yaoyao's little head, his face full of tender and soft smiles. Looking at this scene alone, no one would ever imagine that Chu Tianhe was the Lord of the Pantheon, the God of Slaughter who had taken countless lives and crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!

"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

Chu Tianhe turned around, his gaze as sharp as a knife, and fixed it directly on Lan Shihao, asking in a cold voice.

"If I say it has nothing to do with me, would you believe it?"

Lan Shihao frowned, forcing down the terror surging in his heart, and retorted.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Lan Shihao, right?"

Chu Tianhe took slow steps forward, walking in the direction of Lan Shihao, and then said, "The Lan family, one of the top ten wealthiest families in the country, shouldn't be showing up in a place like this!"

"How the Lan family does things doesn't require..."

Lan Shihao frowned, replying in a deep voice.

"Plop!"

Before Lan Shihao could finish his sentence, Chu Tianhe's right hand moved with the speed of lightning, leaving a blur of an afterimage as he forcefully drove a silver needle straight through Lan Shihao's chest, piercing his heart directly!

"I don't care what kind of background your Lan family has, causing trouble right in front of my daughter means certain death!"

Chu Tianhe pressed his body close against Lan Shihao's, his voice icy and filled with murderous intent, ringing directly in Lan Shihao's ear.

"You... uh..."

Lan Shihao's eyes widened in horror, his body convulsing violently. With his heart pierced by the silver needle, he felt an excruciating pain in his chest, followed instantly by all the strength draining away from his entire body as he collapsed limply downward.

Chu Tianhe directly reached out to support Lan Shihao's body, letting him sink down smoothly in a natural posture, and then arranged him into a sitting position against the floor.

At this moment, Lan Shihao had already stopped breathing. Until the moment of his death, he never expected that Chu Tianhe would act so decisively and cleanly, striking him dead without even giving him a chance to explain himself!

"Daddy, what's wrong with that uncle?"

Yaoyao stood on one side of the hallway, watching Chu Tianhe help Lan Shihao sit down on the floor, blinking her big eyes as she couldn't help asking.

"Nothing's wrong. This uncle drank too much and couldn't stand steadily, so Daddy let him sit down so he'd feel more comfortable."

Chu Tianhe covered it up masterfully, not letting his daughter see the slightest flaw. As he turned around to speak, a faint smile still lingered on his face, looking nothing like someone who had just taken a life.

"Daddy, let's hurry home. I'm really hungry!"

"Alright!"

A tender and gentle smile appeared at the corners of Chu Tianhe's lips. He picked up Yaoyao and walked toward the end of the hallway, leaving behind Lan Shihao's corpse sitting against the wall on the floor, eyes wide open in unresigned death!
