Chapter 75

Perhaps Ruxue really did what her brother said before, fled to their house to live just to fight for her own freedom, and to avoid the engagement with the Qin family.

But just now, when she seriously asked her if she had any feelings for her brother, Ye Tianchen, Qi Ruxue, who had always been straightforward, faltered for the first time.

Maybe, without realizing it, Tianchen’s shadow had already cast itself in Ruxue’s heart, and no matter whether it was good or bad, she couldn’t erase it.

“Ah, my brother is really blessed, to have a great beauty like Ruxue loving him, he’s so lucky!” Ye Qianwen dodged playfully, giggling as she spoke.

“Who, who loves him?

He’s a big bad guy, you little imp, I told you not to talk nonsense, let’s see how I deal with you…” Qi Ruxue chased after Ye Qianwen, and they started to tussle with each other.

“Hehe, pretend I didn’t say anything, pretend I didn’t say anything…”

Ye Qianwen and Qi Ruxue were roughhousing in the next room, and Ye Tianchen, who had been lying in bed ready to sleep, was also unable to sleep because of the noise.

He didn’t listen to the conversations of these two women, nor did he want to.

Qi Ruxue always wanted to play tricks on him, and his sister had already become a little traitor.

Surely, they wouldn’t be saying anything good about him!

He didn’t want to get up, but Ye Qianwen and Qi Ruxue in the next room were so noisy with their laughter that Ye Tianchen couldn’t sleep.

Annoyed, he got up from the bed, planning to go over and give those two women a piece of his mind.

However, just as he opened the door to his bedroom and approached Qi Ruxue’s room, he overheard the conversation between Ye Qianwen and Qi Ruxue.

“I know I’m wrong, I know I’m wrong, Ruxue, stop tickling me!” Ye Qianwen, lying on the bed, laughed as she spoke.

“You little imp, still trying to worm your way out with your sister’s words, let’s see how I take care of you.” Qi Ruxue kept tickling Ye Qianwen vigorously as she spoke.

“Stop, stop, Ruxue, I think you’re right.

The matter with my brother is really strange.

Maybe he really was framed…” Ye Qianwen quickly begged for mercy, speaking seriously.

Listening to Ye Qianwen’s words, Qi Ruxue stopped the playfight as well, dressed in pajamas, she lay back on the bed, frowning, thinking about the matter.

She was a highly intelligent woman, at the forefront of the times, and definitely not the kind of bimbo heiress she was portrayed to be.

The expression ‘all brawn and no brains’ was suitable for Qi Ruxue only in the first two words, the last two were unequivocally wrong.

“Qianwen, I think we should investigate this matter.

There are at least two suspicious points to start with.

First, how did your brother know the place where Liu Rumei was bathing?

Second, how could he have easily entered the place where Liu Rumei was bathing?” Qi Ruxue asked seriously.

Ye Qianwen was stunned for a moment, when Qi Ruxue first brought up this matter, she too began to feel suspicious.

At that time, she didn’t know what was really happening, only that the whole Capital City was buzzing with rumors that her brother, Ye Tianchen, had peeped at Capital City’s top beauty, Liu Rumei, while she was bathing, committing a terrible scandal.

Then, her parents took Tianchen to the Liu family to apologize, and that’s how the story went…

“Ruxue, now that you mention it, there do seem to be some puzzling aspects.

My brother used to be a bit of a playboy, idle and all, but he’s not a bad person, he wouldn’t do such filthy things…” Ye Qianwen also frowned as she spoke.

“Your brother doesn’t seem like a playboy now, but his character is too poor…” Qi Ruxue spoke disdainfully.

“Hehe, Ruxue, don’t be mad at my brother anymore, okay?

His change is for the better.

It’s just that maybe he used to be a bit that way with women, so he ended up like that…” Ye Qianwen giggled as she said.

“You little imp, it seems like you’re still on your brother’s side.

Never mind, go to sleep.

You have school tomorrow,” Qi Ruxue said with a smile.

“Then I’m off, goodnight Ruxue!” Ye Qianwen said cheerfully.

Hearing the footsteps of his younger sister, Ye Qianwen, Ye Tianchen quickly returned to his own bedroom.

He silently closed the door and his face grew somber.

If it hadn’t been for Qi Ruxue bringing it up, Ye Tianchen might not have even remembered, given that he had been reborn from the apocalypse and was focused solely on enjoying life, not dwelling on many things.

However, there was a significant stain on Ye Tianchen’s life, and that was spying on Liu Rumei, the most beautiful woman in Capital City, while she was bathing.

Even though it was a feast for the eyes that made countless men envious and jealous, it also resulted in Ye Tianchen kneeling outside the Liu family’s door for a full day and night, becoming the laughingstock of Capital City and bringing great shame to both his parents and the Ye family.

This hurt him more than death, which was why the former Ye Tianchen was determined to drop out of Longteng University and join the military.

“Damn it, brother, I’ve avenged you.

To be framed and shamed like this, how could I not strike back?” Ye Tianchen muttered to himself and began to meditate on his bed.

In the apocalypse, Ye Tianchen wasn’t someone who courted trouble.

Although he had a personality reminiscent of the Death God, and even seemed somewhat like a hooligan, as a Divine-level superpower expert, he protected the safety of the Human Clan in those chaotic times when Mutated Demon Beasts roamed freely and devoured humans.

His dignity as a Divine-level superpower user was not to be profaned, and he would not tolerate such a blemish on his life, bringing pain and humiliation to his parents.

After meditating for a while, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but open his eyes in frustration.

The memories in his mind were hazy; he remembered the former Ye Tianchen felt disoriented the day he spied on Liu Rumei bathing, as if someone had controlled his brain and led him to the place where Liu Rumei was bathing.

Although Ye Tianchen was frustrated by his vague recollections, a name emerged from his memory – Bai Wu.

According to what he remembered, Bai Wu was a descendant of the Bai family from Capital City.

The Bai family wasn’t particularly prestigious, possibly on par with the Ye family.

The former Ye Tianchen was quite dissolute, idle, and had numerous fair-weather friends, among whom Bai Wu was one of the closest.

The morning Ye Tianchen spied on Liu Rumei’s bath, he received a call from Bai Wu suggesting they go out for a drive.

When Ye Tianchen arrived in his car, Bai Wu suggested they have some coffee first.

After drinking the coffee, Ye Tianchen felt disoriented.

“It seems I need to start with this Bai Wu.

This matter needs to be investigated thoroughly.”

Ye Tianchen said to himself, had it not been for the fact that he needed to rush to the international airport early the next morning to protect someone going to M country to exchange secret data, he would have taken action that very night.

His nature was to act fast and decisively, without delay.

More importantly, Ye Tianchen remembered that after drinking that cup of coffee, it felt as though his brain was being controlled, his actions directed by someone else.

This was definitely not something a mere drug could achieve, but rather seemed like the work of superpower spiritual manipulation.

Now at the King-level Superpower Realm and having been a Divine-level superpower expert before his rebirth, Ye Tianchen had a thorough understanding of superpower skills.

Spiritual manipulation was an exceptionally formidable ability, capable of controlling people without their knowledge and making them do things without awareness.

It could influence the brain waves of humans, was the most feared power among all superpower systems, and could kill or control someone’s spiritual power and mark it with a Spiritual Mark, controlling them for life.

The strength, rank, and potential of other superpower systems were often influenced or even determined by the Spiritual system.

It is evident how terrifying superpower users of the Spiritual system are, and Awakeners of this kind are even rarer, with born spiritual superpower experts being one in a million.

If, as Ye Tianchen suspected, there existed such a powerful Spiritual system superpower user in this life, and if this person were to use their terrifying spiritual control for nefarious purposes, it would be hard for anyone to stop them.

Therefore, Ye Tianchen was even more determined to investigate this matter.

If someone had indeed hired a spiritual superpower user to control him, it indicated a larger scheme at play.

The existence of such a person could bring catastrophic disaster to the Ye family in the future, and he must eradicate this potential crisis.

Early the next morning, Ye Tianchen got up and, in keeping with his final agreement with Cang Lang, he had to rush to Kyoto International Airport by seven o’clock to protect the personnel travelling to M country and complete the exchange of secret data.

Ye Tianchen was unclear about the identity of the person Cang Lang wanted him to protect, a detail he hadn’t paid attention to.

His mind was preoccupied with the prospect of confronting M country’s powerful Mercenary Group and Superpower Special Agent Team, hoping that the trip to M country wouldn’t disappoint him.

After getting out of bed, Ye Tianchen dressed in a simple shirt with a black jacket over it, casual trousers, and a pair of sneakers.

He didn’t bother to pack any luggage, just taking the card Cang Lang had given him, which had a respectable ten million in funds, surely enough for him to splurge abroad.

As for the Sea King Group, although Ye Tianchen was a major shareholder, he didn’t involve himself in all its affairs.

After one visit, he never went again, trusting that the other minority shareholders would work hard because they understood that if Sea King Group fell, they would be the biggest losers.

Leaving his room, Ye Tianchen carried three notes that he had prepared the night before, not wanting to disturb his mother and younger sister’s dreams.

As for Qi Ruxue, she was in for a prank just before he left, as repayment for a day spent suffering from diarrhea.

He was sure that when Qi Ruxue saw the note he’d written specially for her, she would be furious, her little face turning red as she ground her tiger teeth!
