Kapitel 36: The culprit!

*vroom* A Lamborgini is smoothly screeching its tires across the night roads. Zhao Tian turned the steering wheel and called Chi Miya who was seated beside him "Miya!"

But Chi Miya remained unresponsive, her gaze fixated on the roads ahead, lost within the depths of her own thoughts.

Huh? But when she felt a pinch in her cheek, she snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Zhao Tian "Tian?"

Zhao Tian asked, "Do you have any suspect who would try to kill you?" A discontented sigh left Chi Miya's lips as she replied "No, I don't know who would do such a thing to our family."

Zhao Tian squinted his eyes "Well, I have a suspect in mind." Hm? Chi Miya, curious and intrigued, raised an eyebrow "Who is that?"

"It's so obvious, your Uncle."

H-Huh? Chi Miya frowned in disbelief "Tian… Our Uncle is my father's younger brother. He has helped a lot in our company over the past fe-"

Zhao Tian interrupted her yapping "He has connections with cultivators and seems quite shady. I will just check on him, if he is not the culprit then it's good, but I am pretty sure he is the one."

Chi Miya squinted her eyes hearing this. She didn't know that her Uncle had connections with cultivators.

"I'll drop you at your home and place a barrier to prevent anyone with killing intent to enter."

Barriers? Chi Miya was amused hearing this "O-Oh, Ok…"

…

As Chi Miya exited the car, she turned to face Zhao Tian, lowering her head in a respectful bow. "Thank you so much, Tian. You really saved my life and I don't know how I am gonna repay for this."

Zhao Tian let out a chuckle "Why are you being serious? Don't fret it." Hearing this, Chi Miya's eyes turned tender, and she gave a soft nod. "En."

Zhao Tian also placed a transparent barrier around the house.

*vroom* As Chi Miya gazed at the Lamborghini driving away from the villa, a deep sense of disappointment washed over her. She lifted her head to catch a glimpse of the moon and closed her eyes, trying to find solace in the peaceful night. "HE HAS A FUCKING GIRLFRIEND!!" she screamed letting out her frustration.

…

Hmm… Floating in the sky, Zhao Tian glanced through the hospital window looking at Chi Shui who was sleeping peacefully on her bed.

"So, Chi Shui was not attacked, only Miya has been. Well, let's go and see this Uncle of theirs…" *woosh*

…

Inside a hotel room-

"Huh? What do you mean by there is no response from them?" Chi Jin shouted at the person talking on his phone.

"Which means that they are dead and the assassination is a failure. Someone has saved the target." A cold emotionless voice was heard from that side.

"You pieces of crap! I gave you that much money and you can't even kill a woman? That Chi Miya? huh? Give my money back." Chi Jin expressed his frustration and anger towards the man on the other end of the phone call, berating him.

"Don't raise your voice at me. It will not be hard for us to kill you too. And once the transactions are initiated, there are no refunds. We have lost our men in this attempt… consider your money as compensation for that." *click*

H-HUH? Chi Jin's eyes filled with anger, eyebrows furrowing in irritation as he glared at the screen before him "Fucking shit!"

"Haha!" The oldman sitting comfortably on the sofa laughed wickedly seeing Chi Jin screaming in frustration "As I said, I would have gone to kill her… so you could take over the company."

Chi Jin took a deep breath and sighed "Forgive me, Master Ye. I should have listened to you first. Now I have lost a lot of money."

The old man's smile widened "So are you willing to seal the deal with our Sect? 20 percent shares and we will also give you protection. In this world, you know how powerful having a sect behind your back is."

Chi Jin once more pondered the terms of the agreement before finally giving a resolute nod "I agree with this."

"Good! Enter!" The old man spoke and the room's door opened as a man entered the room. Chi Jin frowned "Master Ye, he is?"

"He is my disciple. Bring him tomorrow with you and he will help you kill her." Chi Jin glanced at the man "Your disciple?"

The old man raised an eyebrow "What? Are you doubting him? He is in the 4th level of the True Astral Stage. To kill a normal human, he is more than enough."

Chi Jin gave a nod looking at the man "I'll appoint you as my bodyguard and will bring you to company tomorrow." The man frowned his eyebrows in displeasure "Don't talk to me as if you are my boss, you human."

Huh? Chi Jin was taken aback. The man continued "Just killing a woman. I will do it easily tomorrow."

Seeing him acting arrogantly, Chi Jin just sighed in his heart. he couldn't say anything back because the man is a cultivator "Um, okay!"

At this time, the oldman remembered something and asked "Even if she is dead, are you sure you can take over the company completely."

Chi Jin smirked "Among the shareholders, there are people who allied with me embezzling the company's money, and after she is dead, when it comes down to voting for the next President I will have many votes and I am her Uncle so…"

The Oldman gave a small nod and after a bit of talking Chi Jin stood up "Then, I am leaving Master Ye." he spoke with a bow and left the room.

After he left, the oldman glanced at his disciple "Luo Bo, you know how important this deal is for our sect. So tomorrow your work should be flawless."

Luo Bo bowed "Yes, Master." The oldman gave a nod and stood up "I am going back to our sect. Finish the mission and come later."

…

Zhao Tian leisurely enjoyed his tea while eavesdropping from the other room and overhearing the conversation between Chi Jin and the old man.

Outside, Zhao Tian's hotel room a waitress stood with a serving cart. She again examined her hair "Yeah, it's good… hehe. He is really handsome I wonder if I can get his number."

A smile appeared on her lips and opened the door as she entered pushing the serving cart into the room. "Mister, do you need something to eat?"

Zhao Tian stood up from the sofa "You came at the right time." he placed the teacup on the cart and handed over the room key to her.

"Here is the key. Cancel my reservation for this night?" he said coming out of the room.

ヽ(O_O )ﾉ Huh? The waitress stood there dumbfounded like a statue. He left like that?
