Chapter 92 - 92: Hidden Agenda



The name Zhai Yu mentioned was Chu Qinghc.

Upon learning about the immense power and influence of his mother’s family, Chu Qing realized that the matter at hand wouldn’t simply fade away. Now, hearing Zhai Yu mention something related to it, Chu Qing couldn’t easily walk away. The revelation had effectively halted his movements, compelling him to stay and address the situation.

In his previous life, he had left the cultivation world because of an accident. His parents and family would always be his obsession and regret. In this life, since the heavens had given him another chance, how could he not seize it?

With a firm determination to protect his family, Chu Qing felt compelled to stay and accompany Zhai Yu in “receiving guests.” During this period, whenever they had a moment, the two of them would engage in whispered conversations. Chu Qing understood the gravity of the situation and sought to navigate it cautiously while keeping an eye out for any potential threats to his loved ones.

‘What happened?” Chu Qing asked Zhai Yu.

’’Someone from the Chu family came to buy information,” Zhai Yu answered.

After some contemplation, Chu Qing grasped the situation at hand. He realized that the World Treasures Auction House, being the largest business establishment in the empire, was involved in various types of commerce, including the trade of information. Information, in itself, held significant value within this context.

“What happened in the end?” Chu Qing asked again.

Zhai Yu chuckled. “You’re really not polite.”

“…” Chu Qing was speechless and ignored Zhai Yu’s teasing.

“I’ve delayed this matter, Otherwise, the Ye family would definitely not feel good. After all, Ye Chenxi was the one who did it. If we continue investigating, we will definitely be able to trace it back to her. At that time, there will be trouble. However, I can’t guarantee that the Chu family won’t start from other sources. After all, they are already suspicious about this matter. And that day, the person who caused trouble in the bar has already…” As Zhai Yu said this, he made a throat-slitting gesture.

Chu Qing comprehended Zhai Yu’s implications and maintained a calm demeanor, displaying no surprise or pity for the individual mentioned. This response secretly astonished Zhai Yu, who was taken aback by Chu Qing’s level-headedness. Zhai Yu’s assessment of Chu Qing heightened with eight words: young and remarkably astute.

No matter what, the person who caused trouble in the bar had been instructed by Ye Chenxi to help Chu Qing. When he heard that they had been silenced, Chu Qing’s expression was too heartless.

After thinking for a while, Chu Qing asked again, “Does Ye Chenxi know about this?”

Zhai Yu shook his head.

“Mrs. Ye was the one who ordered the hit?” Chu Qing guessed.

“Because of you,” Zhai Yu added, indirectly acknowledging Chu Qing’s guess. “Also, regarding Mrs. Ye, we all call her Boss Ye.1

Chu Qing did not care about how he addressed her. He was only wondering if Mrs. Ye knew about his relationship with the Chu family because of this. After all, from Mrs. Ye’s perspective, she could see this matter as cleaning up Ye Chenxi’s mess.

It was not wrong for Zhai Yu to say that Mrs. Ye killed her because of Chu Qing.

How should he put it? To Chu Qing, he had nothing to do with those people who had been silenced. Back then, he was indeed anxious and attacked Chu Qinghc before he figured out the situation.

However, he would not feel guilty about those people. He only owed Ye Chenxi a favor, or he would have to return Mrs. Ye a favor in the future. As for the Chu family, not to mention this matter, just the past matters of his parents would be dealt with sooner or later.

Consequently, there would be ample opportunities in the future to advocate for those unjustly treated individuals. However, the crucial factor remained strength. A flicker of determination crossed Chu Qing’s eyes, accompanied by a glimmer of killing intent. He would remember this and take action accordingly.

Speak of the devil. Just as they were talking about the Ye family, Mrs. Ye brought Ye Chenxi to the auction. After presenting the invitation card, the doorman led Mrs. Ye and Ye Chenxi to the hall.

Zhai Yu quickly stepped forward and showered the Ye family with polite words. In contrast, Chu Qing was less loquacious. He simply greeted them familiarly, saying, “Aunt Ye, Chenxi.”

When Ye Chenxi heard Chu Qing call her by her name, she was overjoyed. She already knew that Zhai Yu and Chu Qing knew each other, so she was not surprised that Chu Qing appeared there.

Mrs. Ye’s dark eyes shifted as she gave a slight nod to acknowledge Zhai Yu’s greeting. Then, she turned her attention to Chu Qing and said, “Little Qing, I heard that you’ll be taking the college entrance examination soon. You must put more effort into your studies. Your life is long, and you can make friends at any time.”

Mrs. Ye’s words sounded strange. Ye Chenxi only had Chu Qing in her eyes, so she did not pay much attention to it and only cared about being silly and happy. However, Chu Qing and Zhai Yu had different expressions after hearing this.

‘Yes.” Chu Qing nodded in response to Mrs. Ye.

As Mrs. Ye prepared to enter the venue, Ye Chenxi noticed that Chu Qing seemed unable to move forward. Ye Chenxi cast a pleading glance at Mrs. Ye, and a hint of indulgence appeared in Mrs. Ye’s eyes. She nodded subtly, acknowledging Ye Chenxi’s plea, and proceeded to enter the hall alone.

After leaving Ye Chenxi behind, Chu Qing and Zhai Yu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Chu Qing sighed inwardly. Boss Ye’s reputation was indeed well-deserved. Indeed, no one who could reach this step was easy to deal with.

While Ye Chenxi’s mindset was carefree and focused on her own desires, Mrs. Ye possessed a keen perception and was able to grasp the essence of the situation at a glance. Although the statement appeared to be directed at Chu Qing, Mrs. Ye also intended for Zhai Yu to understand its underlying meaning.

Mrs. Ye urged Chu Qing to prioritize his studies, subtly implying that he should be cautious in his choice of friends. It was evident to her that Chu Qing had been careless in forming friendships, specifically referring to his association with Zhai Yu. From Mrs. Ye’s perspective, she saw Zhai Yu as someone taking advantage of Chu Qing. Furthermore, she already regarded Chu Qing as a prospective son-in-law and planned for him to marry her daughter in the future. As a result, she held reservations and was unwilling to fully embrace Zhai Yu’s influence on Chu Qing..
