Chu Leng probably wanted to see panicked expressions on Hu Jiu and He Ming's faces, but he was disappointed.
The moment he finished speaking, the Hanging Rope in Hu Jiu's hand quickly extended and wrapped around his ankle.
Before Chu Leng could even scream, he was hung upside down. Hu Jiu snatched the dagger from He Ming's hand and dismembered Chu Leng into eight pieces.
With Chu Leng's death, his dismembered limbs fell to the ground, creating a gruesome scene that nearly made He Ming gag.
That's too brutal.
Chu Leng's tongue kept wriggling on the ground. He was dead, and the Ghost Licker he controlled had been resurrected.
Of course, this kind of brat was nothing to Hu Jiu, who easily grabbed it and stuffed it into the Golden Container for containment.
In such a short time, Hu Jiu had dealt with the two Ghost Tamers in the office. While He Ming secretly admired him, he also felt his heart pounding.
Outside the window, the snow was still falling heavily, and the temperature seemed to be getting colder and colder. He Ming couldn't help but shiver, and his face suddenly turned very pale.
He reminded Hu Jiu, "This coldness is strange. After I activated my Insubstantiality just now, I felt my body temperature rise significantly. This means that the cold is caused by Supernatural. The Insubstantiality can evade Supernatural, which is why I feel so warm."
Hu Jiu didn't speak, her eyes fixed on a certain direction outside the window. The next second, the goose-feather snowflakes suddenly swirled and condensed into the figure of a woman. She floated in mid-air outside the window, her long hair dancing in the wind, staring fiercely at Hu Jiu.
"Holy crap, what is that? Snow Woman?!" He Ming exclaimed.
Let's call her the Snow Woman for now. At this moment, the Snow Woman's expression was one of surprise and uncertainty. This was her Ghost Domain, so she could change the climate. The ghost she controlled was special; it could transform into snow. If you couldn't find her true form, you couldn't harm her. But just now, Hu Jiu used some means to force her to appear, and she could no longer naturally transform back into snow.
Hu Jiu didn't want to waste time arguing with her. Now that the Snow Woman's true form had appeared, several White Sash instantly wrapped around her.
But just then, something unexpected happened. The glass in the room suddenly shattered, and a cold wind carrying snowflakes blew in, along with several banknotes.
They were all genuine, legally usable banknotes. The money swirled and landed on Hu Jiu and He Ming. At the same moment, the bindings on Snow Woman were released.
Her lower body relaxed naturally, like a beautiful snowflake, drifting back and forth in mid-air, a playful look on her face.
"You're very capable, but that's all you can do." The Snow Woman's voice was beautiful, but her arrogant tone ruined its gentleness.
Hu Jiu hated anyone more arrogant than him, so he didn't respond to the Snow Woman. Instead, he tried to restrain her again, freezing her in mid-air like a photograph.
The Snow Woman's expression changed drastically. "Chu Yan, why did your bribe fail? He can still use the same method to imprison me!"
"Chu Yan?" He Ming, uttering a questioning sound upon hearing the name. "The person in charge of Langzhou City? Since you're here, why don't you dare show yourself?"
"You are not worthy of my intervention!" A deep male voice came from all directions, its source indistinguishable.
"Very good." Hu Jiu's lips curled into a smile. "If you had kept hiding, it would have taken us a lot of time to find you, but you insisted on putting on airs and making threats..."
They really put the clue right in front of Hu Jiu!
The Hanging Rope in his hand stretched infinitely, and he lashed it sharply in a certain direction in the office.
Snap--
In the corner, a hazy, semi-transparent figure flickered, and a trail of blood flowed down.
Now that he had been discovered, Chu Yan simply removed his disguise, revealing a long wound on the right side of his face, as if half of his face had been shattered. He seemed oblivious to the pain, simply looking at Hu Jiu and asking, "How did you find me?"
Hu Jiu smiled without saying a word. This wasn't Naruto, where you had to explain your abilities carefully before a fight.
"How insidious!" He Ming unconsciously activated his ethereal form, staring intently at Chu Yan: "So you've been hiding in the room all along. Those banknotes just now were blown in from outside. I thought you were hiding outside like that Snow Woman!"
Chu Yan laughed, "I admit that you two do have some real skills, but... in front of the Chu Family, you two are just two slightly larger ants. Even if you can defeat me today, can you escape the endless pursuit in the future?"
He Ming's face suddenly darkened. "What are you trying to say?"
Chu Yan's voice held a hint of seduction. "Hand over the two ghosts controlled by Chu Shan, and you two will join the Chu Family and serve them for life, then this matter can be forgiven."
Before He Ming could speak, Chu Yan interrupted him, "Don't rush to refuse. My suggestion is beneficial to both of us. Ghost Tamers like you from humble backgrounds can't go very far on your own. With the Chu Family's help, it will be of great benefit to you, and I can also complete this mission and return to report."
"Don't worry, I still have some influence in the Chu Family. As long as I vouch for you, you'll be safe and sound after joining the Chu Family. No one will dare to hold you accountable for killing Chu Shan and Chu Leng."
He Ming lowered his head, unable to hold back any longer, and let out a sneer, "How much say do you have in the Chu Family?"
As Chu Yan's face grew increasingly dark, He Ming looked at Hu Jiu and feigned confusion, saying, "We don't understand either, how can a mere bodyguard be able to make decisions for the master's family?"
"Putting all that aside, even if the Chu Family accepts us on the surface after we've killed Chu Shan and Chu Leng, we'll probably still be pushed around to do dirty work or become scapegoats. We might even be sabotaged and killed without any explanation. Only an idiot would believe your nonsense!"
"You..." Chu Yan was shocked and angry, but even more so, he was terrified. He Ming had actually learned his true identity— the Chu Family's bodyguard, or more accurately, Chu Shan's private bodyguard.
How could such classified information be leaked!
Did Chu Shan say something before she died?
That's impossible! As a direct descendant of the Chu Family, Chu Shan was taught that he would rather commit suicide or endure torture than reveal the Chu Family's confidential information!
"How did you two know all this?" Chu Yan questioned. At this moment, investigating Chu Shan's death and the matter of retrieving the Fierce Ghost seemed less important. The Chu Family's information had been leaked, and it was imperative to find out from which source. The Chu Family needed to plan important matters, and they knew that secrecy was crucial; information security was absolutely paramount!
