Chapter 457: 456, Extremely Yin Night (4) (First Update)

The man held the playing card in his hand, scrutinizing it carefully.

A very ordinary club jack.

The tires had burst beyond repair, yet that card remained intact.

If one hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, who could believe that such a small playing card could possess such power?

Moreover, it happened in such strong winds.

An ordinary person would probably struggle even to stand.

Let alone ordinary people, even those who practiced cultivation wouldn’t be able to remain as composed under those circumstances.

But she did.

No wonder Zheng Chuyi went to great lengths to get rid of her.

To Zheng Chuyi, this person was indeed a profound threat.

It had been a long time since he had encountered such a formidable opponent.

The black club jack, under the sunlight, emitted a faint glow.

Ordinary yet mysterious.

Understated yet dazzling.

The man slightly lifted his sinister eyes, a playful curve forming at the corner of his mouth.

He had investigated Chu Jin before.

The records showed that her family for three generations were ordinary, with low-grade bloodlines.

Her parents were just average merchants.

Logically, a family like that shouldn’t produce someone with Spiritual Power.

Yet Chu Jin not only possessed Spiritual Power, but her talent was also exceptionally high.

This was somewhat beyond reason.

On the Mountain Highway, after a deadly curve, the stretched Rolls-Royce had vanished without a trace.

"Failed?" In another villa, a woman in red, who had been comfortably basking on a chaise lounge, sat up abruptly at the report from her subordinate, her perfect willow-shaped eyes narrowing dangerously.

It appeared she had underestimated Chu Jin.

She had intended to take advantage of the night of extreme yin, when Mo Zhixuan was absent, to eliminate Chu Jin. Yet, she hadn’t expected that even with Aaron personally taking action, the mission would still fail.

Could it be that besides Mo Zhixuan, Chu Jin had the support of other formidable figures?

Chu Jin was merely common folk, incapable of having such skills. So, who besides Mo Zhixuan could be standing behind her?

Zheng Chuyi walked up to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the view.

Suddenly, the image of a figure clad in black flashed through her mind.

A black trench coat, a black hat.

A determined jawline, a tall and straight stature.

Like a black lycoris walking among humans.

Mysterious and powerful.

Had the failure of this operation been related to that mysterious man in black?

Thinking of the man in black, Zheng Chuyi’s expression grew even more somber.

Besides Mo Zhixuan, he was the only person who did not take her seriously.

He even trampled on her dignity.

What was Chu Jin’s relationship with him?

Why would he help Chu Jin?

In terms of beauty, she was in no way inferior to Chu Jin!

In terms of bloodline, she was thousands of times more noble than Chu Jin!

As for status, comparing her to Chu Jin was like comparing the moon to mud.

She was the moon.

Chu Jin was the mud.

Not even worthy of being compared to mud.

In the secular world, Chu Jin was nothing but a well-known waste.

These men must be blind, to rally around such a waste.

If it weren’t for Chu Jin, all these honors should have been hers.

The hands hidden under the red sleeves clenched tighter.

"Where is Aaron now?" Zheng Chuyi finally spoke after a long while, her tone still gentle.

The woman standing behind her shrank back, answering tentatively, "Mr. Aaron is still on the Mountain Highway. The vehicle was attacked and cannot be driven normally; they are waiting for support."

The woman was familiar with Zheng Chuyi’s methods; as beautiful as her face was, her heart was just as ruthless.

So-called beauty can be venomous, just like this.

Zheng Chuyi coldly said, "Useless!" At the same time, she picked up the scissors from the windowsill and leisurely started trimming a flourishing rose bush.

The red roses were blooming radiantly.

Merging unexpectedly with the red figure.

Indeed, it’s said that no flower can compete with a woman’s beauty.

The woman nearly stared in awe.

This was the first time she realized that such stunning beauty could exist in the world.

No wonder Mr. Jiang was willing to go crazy for her.

If she were Mr. Jiang, she too would have been inescapably ensnared.

Zheng Chuyi elegantly pruned the rose’s branches and leaves, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips – a stark contrast to her brilliant features.

Suddenly, the scissors moved to a rose flourishing in full bloom.

Snip—

The flower fell as the hand moved.

The red rose drifted down to the wooden floor, its petals scattering everywhere.

Seeing this, the woman shuddered inwardly, fearing that with one wrong move, she could end up like that rose.

Her back bent even further in submission.

"Give me the phone." Zheng Chuyi tossed aside the scissors and reached out with her slender hand, her face darker than ever.

The woman was startled, then handed over the phone from her pocket.

Zheng Chuyi took the phone and dialed a number, her gaze lowering.

Beep—

Within seconds,

The call was answered.

"Chuchu," came a magnetic voice from the other end, tinged with intriguing intimacy, like the whispers between lovers.

"Aaron," Zheng Chuyi began in a cool tone, "you really are an absolute waste!"

Compared to Aaron, Zheng Chuyi’s attitude could only be described as appalling.
