Zhou Ming: Finally Fell for It!

"Big sister,"

Dong Xue leaned closer to Chun Hua and whispered, "Has Young Master been... lately?"

Chun Hua understood her meaning and quickly said, "Don't talk nonsense. You know, Young Master occasionally has some..."

"But Big Sister, it was only occasional before, but these past few days..."

As Dong Xue spoke, her face showed worry. "Should we invite a doctor to examine Young Master?"

"This..."

Chun Hua was momentarily speechless. Just as Dong Xue said, these past few days, Young Master's episodes had been happening too frequently. Sometimes, within an hour... no, in less than half a quarter of an hour, he would suddenly burst into inexplicable laughter, laughing so hard he'd clutch his stomach.

"Hahahahahaha... Ahahahahaha..."

Here we go again!

In fact, Chun Hua had asked several times why Young Master was laughing.

Young Master only said he remembered happy things.

But where were there so many happy things...

The two walked to the study and saw Zhou Ming inside. He was looking up with his eyes closed, pressing his hands to his head, his index fingers tracing through his hair, a look of extreme pleasure on his face.

"Finally fell for it!"

Fell for what?

Who fell for it?

Chun Hua, full of doubt, cautiously called out, "Young Master..."

Zhou Ming opened his eyes, his expression returning to normal. "What is it?"

"The Jianghu Monthly Report has released another special issue. I brought it for you."

"Put it aside. I'll read it when I have time."

"Yes."

"Go out and close the door."

"Yes..."

Inside the study, Zhou Ming sat in his chair, in no mood to pay attention to the special issue of the Jianghu Monthly Report.

His vision was currently focused on Lu Xiaofeng's actions through the Mark, and a smile couldn't disappear from the corner of his mouth.

That's right. Everything Lu Xiaofeng was experiencing now was actually being controlled by Zhou Ming in secret.

He had conceived this plan days ago when he decided to get revenge on Lu Xiaofeng.

Impersonate the mysterious Black-Clad Organization from the novel and let Boss Qian escape!

Most importantly, through this incident, make Lu Xiaofeng question his entire life!

On that day, he followed Lu Xiaofeng and saw Boss Qian. Then, while Boss Qian was escorting Lu Xiaofeng out of the secret room, he entered the secret room himself.

His Qinggong was incredibly exquisite. Even Fourth Brother, who was still in the secret room at the time, didn't notice his arrival.

Afterward, Boss Qian returned.

Then, Zhou Ming appeared.

"To court death and then find life?"

"That's right, just like... this..."

In the dim secret room, Zhou Ming transformed into a black shadow and suddenly appeared before Fourth Brother. Immediately, he extended a finger, aiming directly at Fourth Brother's throat.

He had been diligently practicing Sword Qi Finger these past few days. Now, even without using this martial art, the true qi he unleashed had gained a bit more sharpness.

Fourth Brother didn't react in time and was directly struck by his finger.

The true qi immediately pierced through his throat, opening a gash.

Blood spurted out.

Fourth Brother's eyes widened, filled with disbelief. Then, his body went limp, and he directly collapsed.

Boss Qian's eyes blazed with fury, but his heart was filled with immense terror.

The other party's speed was so astonishingly terrifying. If Fourth Brother couldn't react, how could he possibly cope?

At this moment, his own life was in this person's grasp!

"Your... Your Excellency, what are you doing?"

Zhou Ming chuckled twice and said, "Do you know? People only truly die when their brain dies. Other than that, even if the heart stops beating, there's still a quarter of an hour interval before brain death."

"What... What do you mean..." Boss Qian was very confused. Why did the other party suddenly start talking about such nonsensical things?

Zhou Ming kicked Fourth Brother's body and said, "That is to say, as long as the injury can be recovered within this time... look."

Boss Qian looked down. Although there was blood on Fourth Brother's throat, the hole had already disappeared.

He opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused, then suddenly startled awake. He sat up on his own, touching his throat as if in a dream.

"Boss... just now I..."

Boss Qian watched this scene with disbelief.

But what was even more unbelievable to him was the next moment.

After his injuries healed, Fourth Brother's entire body and face changed at an astonishing speed.

He became thinner, his skin paler, his features rapidly younger, and even the scar on his face disappeared.

It was as if... as if he were back to how he was many years ago, in his early twenties!

"Fourth Brother... Fourth Brother..."

Boss Qian stared at Fourth Brother in front of him, repeating his name, though he himself didn't know why he kept saying it.

All he knew was that he was utterly shaken at that moment.

"Ah, I accidentally used too much... I only intended to heal his injuries, but I didn't expect this... It's fine, though. It'll only last for an hour."

Zhou Ming said softly.

But of course, these were just words. In reality, when he kicked, he had intentionally used a tenth of his Perfect Qi.

This naturally led to the effect.

His sudden words startled Boss Qian.

Boss Qian turned to look at Zhou Ming, the light erupting from his eyes was astonishing.

Undoubtedly, Boss Qian was a greedy man.

The position of chief manager at Datong Money House paid well, but he still wanted more.

Human desire is like a rolling stone on a mountain; once it starts, it never stops.

The more one possesses, the more one wants.

The monarchs of those countries, the emperors, possessed vast territories and could decide the fate of countless people with a single command, yet they still greedily desired more.

They wanted immortality!

They wanted to return to youth!

However, it was all a dream!

But at this moment, right before his eyes, on his trusted subordinate Fourth Brother, Boss Qian had personally witnessed it.

Rejuvenation!

This was something countless emperors and generals had dreamed of!

Boss Qian felt his greedy heart pounding fiercely.

How could he not seize such an opportunity?!

Boss Qian immediately knelt and bowed, "Your Excellency, no, Senior, what are your orders? This humble servant is willing to serve you with all his might!"

"Clever!"

Zhou Ming said, "In that case, I'll help you overcome this current tribulation first!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

After this, Boss Qian had prepared himself for death. He had secretly moved his loyal subordinates from Yunjian Temple to other locations to bring his two concubines and several children away.

Fourth Brother also had a separate mission.

Until the night Jile Tower was breached, Boss Qian truly had no idea that Luo Ma intended to abandon him, but this did not affect his original plan.

However, he also knew that he could not die at Luo Ma's hands.

So, he decisively fled.

From the moment he fled to Yunjian Temple, everything that followed was under Zhou Ming's control.

To ensure the plan's smooth execution, he left numerous Marks within Yunjian Temple.

Afterward, Boss Qian committed suicide in front of Lu Xiaofeng.

With the verification from Luo Ma and Jiang Long, it proved that Boss Qian was undoubtedly dead.

At this point, Zhou Ming, pretending to examine the body, actually injected a tenth of his Perfect Qi into Boss Qian's body.
