The Entry-plundering Demon Hunter

Under Yi Xiaoying’s death glare, Chen Qisheng finally caved.

A chill crept up his spine.

It was as if a voice in the back of his mind was constantly warning him.

’This woman is not to be trifled with.’

Just then, the middle-aged man behind him had a sudden realization.

His expression changed abruptly. "Might I ask if you are Director Yi of the Weapon Workshop?"

As soon as he spoke, the old man beside him glanced over.

"The Weapon Workshop? Director Yi?"

HISS...

The old man sucked in a sharp breath.

He, too, immediately guessed Yi Xiaoying’s true identity.

Compared to the Yi Family, their Duan Family was nothing.

Moreover, as the director of the Weapon Workshop, Yi Xiaoying could easily decide the fate of minor families like theirs.

A single word from her could make them vanish from the New District overnight.

Not to mention the colossal Yi Family backing her.

As for the officer, he was even more terrified.

’Damn it, I’m under the command of the Yi Family’s third son. With a single word from her, I wouldn’t even know what hit me.’

In that moment, the two men Chen Qisheng had brought both wanted to back out.

They weren’t afraid of provoking Tang Baichuan.

After all, although his status wasn’t low, ever since his marriage with the Yi Family had fallen apart, outsiders assumed the Tang Family no longer had the Yi Family’s protection.

And without the Yi Family’s shelter, they dared to come and cause some trouble.

But who could have expected Yi Xiaoying to be here?

Especially hearing her tone, it seemed Lin Yi’s relationship with her was anything but ordinary...

This left them feeling completely uncertain.

Yi Xiaoying glanced at the middle-aged man, her voice icy. "You know me?"

Hearing this, their earlier speculation was confirmed.

The middle-aged man hurriedly said, "I had the honor of seeing Director Yi once before. I didn’t expect to meet you here again. I’m with the Seventh Military District. My name is Gao Yuan..."

"Oh? You’re one of my third brother’s men?" Yi Xiaoying asked.

Seeing the middle-aged man nod repeatedly, Yi Xiaoying sneered. "Then you tell me, what are you doing at the school today? And what happened with Lin Yi?"

"Well..."

Gao Yuan’s brow furrowed deeply, and he glanced at Chen Qisheng.

He quickly explained, "Director Yi, I don’t know what happened either. Mr. Chen asked me to come..."

With that one sentence, he completely absolved himself of any responsibility.

Even the elder from the Duan Family beside him nodded in agreement.

Now, both of them were silently cursing Chen Qisheng.

Before they came, they had asked more than once what Lin Yi’s background was.

Whether he had any status or powerful connections.

But Chen Qisheng had sworn to them that he was just a Martial Arts exam candidate from the Old District.

No background, no prominent family.

Only then were their worries dispelled, and they came along to back Chen Qisheng up.

Who would’ve thought... it was all bullshit.

’This is what you call no background?’

’This is what you call no family connections?’

A Martial Arts candidate from the Old District could get the esteemed Director Yi to back him up?

And given the look in her eyes, they wouldn’t believe for a second that the two weren’t connected.

Suddenly, Old Man Duan remembered something.

Although his position in the Martial Arts Alliance wasn’t high and he wasn’t privy to core matters, he had heard of the "Martial God Training Program."

It was said that the White Tiger Martial God had appeared and was in the Old District.

And this time, he had come to the New District as a Martial Arts exam candidate.

Because of this, a considerable disagreement had arisen within the Martial Arts Alliance.

The discord was greatest between the Yao Family and the Yi Family, who had become opposing factions.

When he first heard about this, he hadn’t paid it much mind.

’No matter how those two families fight, what does it have to do with our Duan Family?’

So, he didn’t give it much thought at the time.

Now that he suddenly recalled it, ’Could it be that this Lin Yi is the White Tiger Martial God the Martial Arts Alliance was talking about?’

If that was the case, everything would add up.

Lin Yi was Yi Nanshan’s maternal grandson...

At this point, the most terrified person was none other than Chen Qisheng.

Although he hadn’t said a word, from the moment he heard Gao Yuan say that the woman before them was Director Yi of the Weapon Workshop, his heart had sunk.

And Yi Xiaoying’s death glare made the other half freeze over completely.

After a long moment, Yi Xiaoying finally spoke again. "Tang Baichuan, why don’t you two discuss which one of you is going to tell me the truth? What exactly happened?"

The moment she finished, before Chen Qisheng could speak, Tang Baichuan’s survival instinct kicked in, and he didn’t dare to delay for a second.

"Xiaoying, don’t be angry. I was going to handle this myself!"

"Chen Hao and Lin Yi had a small argument. After I found out, I transferred Chen Hao from dormitory Zone 1 to Zone 9!"

"The matter was already resolved, but who would have thought Chen Qisheng would show up today to demand an explanation?"

"Brother Qisheng, you really picked the wrong time to come!"

"Sigh, I can’t help you now. You’re on your own!"

After Tang Baichuan finished speaking, he sighed and shook his head, unable to bear looking at Chen Qisheng any longer.

He had said all he could. The fate of the Chen Family now rested on Yi Xiaoying’s whim.

With just a single word from Yi Xiaoying, all of the Chen Family’s weapons-related businesses would be shut down.

And it wouldn’t stop there. It would create a chain reaction.

Without the support of the Weapon Workshop, the other families that cooperated with the Chen Family would immediately distance themselves and terminate their partnerships.

All of the Chen Family’s businesses would collapse overnight.

And all this, because of a single word from Yi Xiaoying.

She could easily make the Chen Family disappear from the New District.

In fact, for people of their level, physical fights were the most childish of matters.

To eradicate a family and make them disappear, it was enough to cut them off at the root, severing all their business dealings.

Killing... was merely the crudest method.

This was the main reason why Chen Qisheng was so terrified after he learned that the woman before him was Yi Xiaoying.

Right now, he wished Yi Xiaoying would just beat him up, as long as she didn’t target the Chen Family.

Yi Xiaoying glanced at him again.

She nodded slightly, then took out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? It’s me. Send the list of all our partner families to my office..."

At those words, Chen Qisheng bristled like a cornered cat.

His legs trembled uncontrollably, threatening to give out.

He naturally understood the meaning of Yi Xiaoying’s call.

Once the Chen Family was crossed off that list, it would be an announcement of the Chen Family’s decline.

How could Chen Qisheng not be afraid?

He stammered, "D-Director Yi, I was wrong. I truly realize my mistake. Could you please..."

Yi Xiaoying completely ignored Chen Qisheng’s pleas.

She had barely hung up before she was already dialing another number.

"Hello? Qinru? Do you have the list of families your Medicine Bureau cooperates with? Yes, all of them. Wait for me in your office, I’m coming over now. Mm-hmm..."

After hanging up again, Yi Xiaoying shot a cold glance at Chen Qisheng and Tang Baichuan.

Clearly, she was going to kick the Chen Family off the list of New District families for good.

"This is the only time. If there’s a next time, don’t blame me for not being polite!"

She directed this sentence at Tang Baichuan.

With that said, Yi Xiaoying turned and walked out of the office.

At that moment, Chen Qisheng could no longer hold himself up.

THUD. He collapsed onto the floor.

His gaze was vacant...

Tang Baichuan looked at him, sighing and shaking his head.

"Sigh. Brother Qisheng, it’s already come to this. Don’t be like this!"

"When you came over just now, didn’t I warn you? I told you to drop it, but you just wouldn’t listen. Why did you have to pretend to be such a big shot in front of me?"

"Just accept your bad luck. I know Yi Xiaoying’s personality!"

"The Yi Family, every last one of them is fiercely protective of their own. You should just be glad my father-in-law didn’t find out about this!"

"If he found out, things wouldn’t be resolved so peacefully. He might even skin your Chen Family alive!"

Tang Baichuan actually felt a bit of pity for Chen Qisheng.

In reality, it wasn’t a big deal to begin with. Chen Hao was arrogant and domineering at school.

While he had some conflict with Lin Yi, it hadn’t reached the point of a life-or-death struggle.

As soon as Tang Baichuan found out, he immediately handled it.

He transferred Chen Hao from dormitory Zone 1 to Zone 9.

In any case, Chen Hao was going to graduate in another six months.

Whether he joined the Demon Hunting Bureau or went home to inherit the family business, it was only a matter of him being inconvenienced for half a year.

If Chen Qisheng had chosen to swallow his pride and endure it for six months, it would have all blown over.

But he just had to ignore the advice and come to the school demanding retribution.

What was even more unlucky was that he ran into Yi Xiaoying.

It could only be said that it was a matter of timing and fate.

Yi Xiaoying, remaining calm and collected, made two phone calls.

And just like that, she could decide the life and death of the Chen Family, and their future prosperity or decline.

This was the terrifying power of a major family...

Seeing this, Old Man Duan and Gao Yuan quickly bid farewell to Tang Baichuan and left.

They didn’t dare stay there a moment longer.

Luckily, Yi Xiaoying hadn’t targeted either of them.

Otherwise, they would have been dragged down with the Chen Family.

When only Chen Qisheng and Tang Baichuan were left in the office, Principal Tang called his secretary. "Quick, help Mr. Chen to the sofa. The floor is so cold, isn’t it?"

"And make him a cup of tea to calm his nerves!"

The secretary was a young man.

Ever since the last incident, Tang Baichuan no longer dared to employ a female secretary.

The secretary nodded, hurried over to help Chen Qisheng up, and sat him on the sofa.

He then rushed out to make a cup of tea and brought it in.

After a long while, Chen Qisheng suddenly shuddered.

His eyes filled with terror as he said, "Principal Tang, you... you have to help me!"

"Our Chen Family’s business isn’t large. It was built through the hard work of two generations. If... if it’s all gone just like that, how will the Chen Family survive, Principal Tang..."

Seeing his pleading look, Tang Baichuan came out from behind his desk.

"Old Chen, how have you still not grasped the situation?"

"If it were just between us two brothers, we could bicker and fight, and it would be over once we’d cooled down!"

"You offended Yi Xiaoying. Even if you don’t know her, you must have heard of her, right?"

"When she loses her temper, who can control her? Not even my own poor father-in-law can hold her back!"

"Alright, it’s useless telling me all this!"

"You should just go home and find another way. It’s not like she’s pushed you into a dead end, right?"

"At worst, you can just change industries and get into other businesses. Every trade has its master. You can definitely do it!"

"On the day your Chen Family rises again in the future..."

Just as Tang Baichuan was offering his gentle reassurances, there was a knock on the office door.

Tang Baichuan said, slightly annoyed, "Come in!"

The door opened, and a school staff member walked into the office.

He glanced at Chen Qisheng and began to stammer.

Tang Baichuan said, "Just say what you have to say. This is my brother in misfortune!"

"Yes, Principal Tang. We just received news... it seems Chen Hao went to dormitory Zone 1... to find Lin Yi!"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, both Tang Baichuan and Chen Qisheng were stunned.

Chen Qisheng, in particular, was so scared his heart nearly burst.

’This is going to drive the Chen Family to its goddamn grave...’
