Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 42 Curtain Blade Domain

When Chongyang was unconscious, Wen Xingyu gently waved her finger, and a faint light covered Chongyang's body.

She whispered a few incantations, then disappeared with Chongyang from the spot.

At the same time, Li Tian's men tied up Lu Yun and brought him before Li Tian.

Li Tian looked smugly at the disheveled Lu Yun and mocked, "Weren't you guys supposed to be good runners? Why aren't you running anymore! You still lost to me."

However, his smile quickly froze, for he discovered that Chongyang had vanished without a trace.

Li Tian roared angrily at his men, ordering them to immediately go and retrieve Chongyang.

But he was also secretly puzzled. What special ability did Chongyang possess? How could he evade his subordinates? He had only intended to play a cat-and-mouse game, but unexpectedly, he had been pecked by the eagle!

He secretly pondered that since they could find him and investigate Meng Xiaoyan, it meant that someone behind them was investigating the factory from back then...

Li Tian decided to investigate the matter personally, determined to nip it in the bud and ensure they didn't leave alive.

Li Tian led a group of his men to search everywhere for Chongyang's whereabouts, but they found nothing.

Just when he was feeling desperate, an anonymous letter appeared on his desk.

The letter warned him not to try anything with Chongyang again, or he would face the consequences.

Li Tian's face turned extremely gloomy. He decided to disregard everything and vowed to find Chongyang, who was full of rebellious spirit.

Just then, Chongyang slowly opened his eyes. As his vision gradually cleared, he was surprised to find himself in a completely unfamiliar environment.

The furnishings and decorations in the room were completely different from what he was familiar with, and a strange sense of tension instantly welled up in his heart.

On instinct, Chongyang quickly reached for the bedside lamp and held it tightly in his hand as a makeshift weapon.

His whole body tensed, his eyes fixed warily on the mysterious girl who had appeared before him. He demanded sharply, "Who are you? Why did you bring me here? What is your purpose?"

Faced with Chongyang's strong reaction, Wen Xingyu simply raised her chin slightly, a contemptuous smile on her face.

Her cool voice seemed to carry a hint of mockery as she said, "Hmph, do you think you're worth all this trouble to kidnap? Tell me, what do you think I could do to you? Am I after your money, or are I after your beauty? Hmm?"

After she finished speaking, she deliberately looked Chongyang up and down in a flippant manner, as if she found his questioning quite ridiculous.

Chongyang felt a surge of anger rush to his head when he saw her scrutinizing him. His chest heaved violently, and his face turned as red as if it were about to bleed.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "You...you, shameless!" Each word seemed to have taken all his strength.

Standing opposite her, Wen Xingyu didn't seem to care. She smiled slightly and casually teased, "Oh, don't get so excited. Don't worry, I wouldn't even look at you, you immature little cabbage, let alone make a move on you."

After saying that, he winked at Chongyang, his expression one of smug satisfaction.

Chongyang's eyes widened, burning with rage as he glared at the arrogant woman before him.

He clenched his fists, the veins on the back of his hands bulging. If looks could kill, Mu Yaoyao would probably be torn to pieces by now.

He suppressed his anger and asked through gritted teeth, "Then why did you bring me here? What is your purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Xingyu slowly turned around and walked step by step to the window.

Sunlight streamed through the window, casting a beautiful silhouette on her.

However, Chongyang had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery; his mind was filled with resentment and doubt towards Wen Xingyu.

Wen Xingyu stopped and turned her back to Chongyang, saying leisurely, "Of course someone wants to see you." After saying that, she fell silent, leaving Chongyang with a mysterious and unpredictable back view.

Chongyang was taken aback, his mind filled with questions. He pressed on, puzzled, "Someone wants to see me? Who?"

Wen Xingyu, however, kept everyone in suspense, chuckling softly as she said, "Don't be impatient, you'll find out soon enough."

Chongyang frowned, increasingly perplexed by the situation. He decided to calm down and see what tricks this woman was up to.

A while later, the doorbell rang. Mu Yaoyao went to open the door, and a strange man walked in.

The man had red lips and white teeth, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a lithe figure, and an imposing presence. His face was sharply defined, and his pair of dark, bright eyes were like two dazzling gems, radiating wisdom.

Chongyang looked at him and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"

The man smiled and introduced himself: "My name is Mu Ren Siyu, and I'm a friend of Wen Xingyu. I heard you're a bit special, so I came here specifically to meet you."

It turned out that the woman's name was Wen Xingyu, but Chongyang was even more confused. He didn't understand how he had attracted this person's attention.

But he sensed that this man named Muren Siyu was hiding some unknown secrets...

Chongyang looked at Lu Ran warily, wondering who this person was and why he wanted to see him.

Lu Ran seemed to see through Chongyang's thoughts. He smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. I'm just curious about you. I heard you have a special ability that makes you immune to harm."

Chongyang was startled. This was the whistle that Huan Yuechu had given him. He had never mentioned this special feature of his to anyone. How did Muren Siyu know about it?

"You investigated me?" Chongyang glared at Lu Ran and said.

"Don't be angry, I didn't mean any harm," Lu Ran said with a smile. "I just want to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?" Chongyang was even more puzzled.

“Yes, I have a plan that requires your abilities. If you are willing to help, I can offer you generous compensation,” Lu Ran stated.

Chongyang remained silent for a moment. He didn't know whether this Muren Siyu was trustworthy or not, but he was indeed a little curious about his plan.

Ultimately, he decided to listen to Lu Ran's specific plan before making a decision.

"Speak, what's the plan?" Chongyang sat down and looked at Muren Siyu.

"I need you to protect someone for me," Lu Ran said in a low voice.

"Who?" Chongyang asked warily.

"Wen Xingyu." Lu Ran slowly uttered three words.

"She's your friend, why didn't you protect her?" Chongyang asked, surprised and puzzled.

Lu Ran sighed, "Because someone wants to kill her, and I can't be by her side all the time. Only you can ensure her safety."

Chongyang thought for a moment, "Why should I believe you?"

Lu Ran took out a contract and handed it to Chongyang. "This is an employment contract. If you agree, all the remuneration on it is yours."

Chongyang took the contract and looked at it; it was indeed a considerable sum.

But he hesitated for a moment, after all, this matter involved someone's life safety.

"May I think about it?" Chongyang said.
