"What did you say?" Zhang Jiuhua asked incredulously, "Are you kidding me? You can get rid of her?"
"You heard me right, I am going to get rid of her."
Chen Jie confirmed.
"Don't be delusional! Our master is invincible! You can't fight her! If you're willing to let us go, perhaps we can keep quiet about you!"
Zhang Ling said to Chen Jie, "Teacher Chen, what my mother said is true, you can't possibly defeat her. If you let us go, we'll have to live in hiding for the rest of our lives! You should leave quickly! Today is the last day for us to pay off the hundred million, any later, and our master will arrive!"
"Mom, Teacher Chen won't kill us, let's run quickly too!"
Zhang Jiuhua gave Chen Jie a deep look, then nodded, "Let's go!"
"Stop!"
The mother and daughter paused, and turned to look at Chen Jie.
Chen Jie said lightly, "Although you were forced, a capital offense can be commuted, but a living crime cannot be escaped. Help me get rid of your master, and I can spare you!"
"You... what's the difference between that and letting us die? You might as well kill us directly!" Zhang Jiuhua said resentfully.
"Alright, I'll give you a choice: die now, or help me get rid of your master?" Chen Jie said decisively.
Zheng Qingshu excitedly said, "Zhang Ling, don't be foolish, Teacher Chen is very powerful! His status is terrifying! Cooperating with him gives you a chance to live!"
Zhang Jiuhua sneered, "Then kill us now!"
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?" Chen Jie's expression turned cold, then he approached her and directly choked her neck.
Zhang Jiuhua's face showed disbelief.
Chen Jie would really kill her?
She said, "If you kill us, our master won't blame us, and our master will avenge us!"
"Revenge? That's exactly what I want!"
Just as Chen Jie was about to act, Zhang Ling suddenly shouted, "We are willing to cooperate!"
"Mom, don't be silly, if we don't agree to Teacher Chen now, we can only die! But if we ally with him to deal with Master, there's still a glimmer of hope. Even if there's no hope, it's worth a try! It's not a loss for us!"
Zhang Ling said.
"I'll give you ten seconds to consider," Chen Jie said to Zhang Jiuhua.
Zhang Jiuhua struggled for a moment.
Then she said, "Fine! I'm going to die anyway. Since you want to risk your life, I'll fulfill your wish!"
Chen Jie then released her.
Zhang Jiuhua said sternly to Zhang Ling, "Give each of them a knife. At the critical moment, let them commit suicide to end their suffering!"
"Mm!"
Soon, Zhang Ling took out several daggers.
Zhang Ling said, "My master's methods are very cruel. Remember not to be captured alive. If you are controlled, my mother and I will use our abilities to help you regain consciousness. At that time, it will be your best chance to commit suicide!"
Zheng Qingshu trembled as he took the dagger, his face pale with fright.
"This... is it that exaggerated? It can't be, right? I'm just a victim!"
However, Xia Quan silently held the dagger, showing no fear at all.
"Daughter, starting now, quickly recover your strength and prepare to fight to the death! I'll contact Master!" Zhang Jiuhua said.
"Okay, Mom!"
Zhang Ling made a gesture as if to sit down cross-legged.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Zhang Jiuhua's expression changed slightly, "Who?"
"It's me! Open the door!"
A charming female voice came from outside.
Zhang Jiuhua's face changed drastically, "Oh no, Master is here!"
"Ah! So fast! Why did Master suddenly come looking for us?" Zhang Ling's face turned pale.
As soon as she finished speaking, with a bang, the door was kicked open.
Before anyone entered, a terrifying stench filled the air.
Immediately after, several beautifully dressed women with slender legs walked in.
One of them was the most charming and seductive, wearing only a sheer robe that was semi-transparent.
Her pale yellow skin was faintly visible beneath the gauze.
The other two were young women.
Their attire was still revealing.
If someone unaware were present, they would have thought these women were about to start a special party.
"So smelly!"
Zheng Qingshu covered his nose, looking disgusted.
Yin Manman?
Chen Jie was incredibly surprised to see one of the four women at the back.
No wonder he found the stench familiar; it was coming from Yin Manman!
Ever since he encountered Cao Hanzi at Shengtian Company last time, Yin Manman had been carrying a peculiar smell from him.
Chen Jie thought that after Yin Qiuran's death, Yin Manman would live a low-key life inheriting his fortune, but he didn't expect her to be associated with such women.
As Chen Jie saw Yin Manman, Yin Manman also saw Chen Jie.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
This man was her inner demon.
She swore that she never wanted to see Chen Jie again in her life.
But she quickly recovered from her shock.
Then she sneered.
"This guy, could he have been trying to pick up girls and ended up being controlled by the master's disciple?"
"Let's not expose him for now, let's see how the situation unfolds!"
With that thought, Yin Manman pretended not to recognize Chen Jie.
"Zhang Jiuhua, your mother and daughter are still twenty million short of your monthly performance, are you going to give it to me now, or should I punish you?"
The woman in the sheer robe said to Zhang Jiuhua indifferently, completely ignoring Chen Jie and the others.
"Master..."
Just as Zhang Ling was about to speak, Chen Jie suddenly said, "Are you Zhang Jiuhua's master?"
Hearing this, Yin Manman's heart skipped a beat, "He's not controlled! Could it be that Master's cultivation technique doesn't work on him?"
"Zhang Jiuhua, aren't these stinky guys your prey? Why do they still have their own consciousness?" The woman in the sheer robe's expression changed slightly as she looked at Zhang Jiuhua.
Chen Jie spoke again, "Because your master is incompetent and didn't train capable disciples, now they have been won over by me and want to get rid of you together."
"Hahaha... Good, very good. I was wondering why your mother and daughter's performance has just met the passing mark these past few months. So you found a backer!"
The woman in the sheer robe looked at Chen Jie and said, "Who are you?"
"Chen Jie!"
Chen Jie said.
"You male imbecile, do you have comprehension problems? My master is asking for your identity! Who cares about your name?"
A young woman beside the woman in the sheer robe immediately shouted.
"My identity is not for you to know. I, on the other hand, would like to know who you are, using your abilities to wreak havoc?" Chen Jie said.
"Being able to appear here means you have a strong background. I'll let you be an enlightened ghost. My name is Su Xin Zhen Nü! Now that you know my name, you can die!"
Su Xin Zhen Nü waved her hand, and the two female disciples approached Chen Jie with hostile expressions.
"Stop!"
