Chapter 57

“Pfft!”

In an instant, the short blade pierced the man's shoulder. His body trembled slightly, but he did not stop because of the wound; instead, he continued to dash forward, soon vanishing from Chu Tianhe's line of sight.

“He dodged it?”

Chu Tianhe frowned, his expression grave, and raised his hand to touch the titanium alloy bracelet on his wrist.

Originally, that quick thrust should have been enough to pierce right through the man's body, perhaps even tear him apart. However, the bracelet had suppressed ninety percent of Chu Tianhe's strength. As a result, the moment the man sensed the blade approaching, he evaded the fatal spot with a strange, fluid movement.

“Red Moon, apart from you, there are other members of the Six Great Halls in Jiangzhou City. Find out who it is.”

Watching the figure escape before his very eyes, Chu Tianhe furrowed his brow, took out his phone, and called Liu Hongyue.

“There are others?”

Liu Hongyue was taken aback; she had not been informed of this.

“It seems the Lord of the Milky Way Hall still does not fully trust you,” Chu Tianhe said, his voice growing even deeper, offering a reminder.

“The Hall Lord is naturally suspicious. Gaining his complete trust is no easy task,” Liu Hongyue replied, her brows tightly knit. “With the way he handles things, it's very likely he would send others as well.”

“Find out who this person is,” Chu Tianhe said coldly, a glint of icy determination flashing in his eyes. “This person is a threat. If I’m not mistaken, he’s not only watching me, but probably keeping a secret eye on you as well. He must be eliminated.”

“Understood.”

...

The next day!

At dawn, Qin Xiaomeng rose early. She carefully applied her makeup, dressed in business attire, slipped on a pair of black high heels, and left the house.

She was heading to apply for a job, hoping to find a well-paying position to support the family’s expenses.

After breakfast, Chu Tianhe took Yaoyao and made his way to the South China Mu Family’s villa district. Yue Linglong was already waiting there, and when she saw Chu Tianhe carrying Yaoyao over, she greeted them with a bright smile.

“Brother Tian, you’re here so early,” Yue Linglong said, her smile as warm as a breeze in March. Naturally, she reached out and took Yaoyao from Chu Tianhe’s arms.

Yaoyao, fond of this gentle and beautiful aunt, showed no resistance. In fact, she was quite close to Yue Linglong, allowing herself to be held in her arms as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Welcome to the South China Mu Family Villa District. May I ask your names? I’m Liu Yulu, a sales consultant here. You may call me Miss Wang.”

Soon, the sales consultant of the South China Mu Family’s villas approached politely to inquire.

“Chu Tianhe.”
