The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 449 - 447: Manipulating Chu Yan

Chu Yan arrived at the Lu Family residence, and the servant invited him into the living room.

"Please wait, sir and madam will be here shortly."

After Lu Zhiheng’s death, Lu Tingming and Xu Biqing harbored considerable resentment towards Chu Yan. Lu Tingming even wanted to diminish Chu Yan’s roles in the hospital and the company.

However, at this moment, he realized that Chu Yan had strong influence in both the hospital and the company and that he simply couldn’t touch him.

In the study at that time, besides Lu Tingming and Xu Biqing, there was another man.

The man was dressed in a black hooded robe, which concealed his face.

"It must have been Chu Yan who killed my son. I must make him pay with his life." freeweɓnovel-cøm

The death of Lu Zhiheng had a significant impact on Xu Biqing.

She still felt heartbroken when mentioning it.

"There’s no evidence to prove that he did it."

"It was definitely him. Who else could it be? He couldn’t wait for Zhiheng to die sooner. I’ve said it before; he’s a thankless wretch, and he couldn’t possibly have any good intentions!"

Xu Biqing was somewhat agitated.

The Black Robed Man suddenly spoke, "Since you don’t know how your son died, why not call him over and ask?"

"Call him over and ask? You mean..."

Lu Tingming looked at him in shock.

"After death, the soul still exists."

"Can you summon his soul here?"

Xu Biqing became even more agitated, "Last time we sought a master to summon the soul, but it was unsuccessful. My poor son, so young, yet he lost his life!"

"He committed numerous sins and has already been sent by the Netherworld Envoy to hell for punishment. How could a Heavenly Master summon him?"

The Black Robed Man laughed meaningfully.

"Hell?"

Xu Biqing trembled inside, "How could this be?"

"If you agree to help me with my task, naturally, I will grant you some benefits."

A black fog emanated from the Black Robed Man, within which seemed to hide silver chains.

The sound of clinking chains was heard.

A soul was drawn from beneath the ground by the chains.

Lu Zhiheng’s soul appeared, staring blankly at his parents.

"Son!"

Lu Tingming and Xu Biqing called to him excitedly.

"Dad, Mom!"

It took a while for Lu Zhiheng to respond.

"Son, tell me, who killed you? Mom and Dad will avenge you!"

Lu Zhiheng gnashed his teeth and said, "It was Chu Yan, that little bastard. He knows Evil Technique and had a female ghost harm me!"

Xu Biqing sharply turned to her husband, "I told you it was him! It couldn’t be wrong!"

Lu Tingming remained silent.

"Mom and Dad, I miss you so much. Can I stay here?"

Lu Zhiheng, recalling his experiences in hell, began to tremble all over. He didn’t want to return to that dreadful place; he wanted to live carefree in the Human World.

Xu Biqing was about to ask the Black Robed Man when she saw him lift his sleeve.

Lu Zhiheng’s soul disappeared on the spot.

"Son!"

Xu Biqing anxiously said, "Where has my son gone? Can’t you let him stay here? As long as he can stay by my side, I will do anything for you!"

The Black Robed Man indifferently said, "First take care of the task I’ve arranged for you, and naturally, you’ll meet him again."

"What exactly do you want us to do?"

After Xu Zhiwei died, the Black Robed Man approached them.

Lu Tingming was wary of him and never knew what he wanted. But this Black Robed Man was powerful, even more formidable than the masters he had encountered before, and he was unable to resist.

"Make Chu Yan consume this."

The Black Robed Man took out a black porcelain vial and handed it to Lu Tingming.

"There are two venom bugs inside, the black one is the Child Gu, and the red one is the female venom bug. Once the venom bugs are placed in water, they turn into a colorless, tasteless liquid that he won’t detect.

You just need to make Chu Yan consume the Child Gu, while you can consume the female venom bug. The person who consumes the Child Gu will absolutely obey the commands of the female venom bug."

The Black Robed Man eerily laughed, "I see you don’t really want him dead, why not try controlling him with this? It’s quite useful."

He was right, Lu Tingming wasn’t ready to let Chu Yan meet his end yet.

Because under Chu Yan’s management, the hospital and the company were the most profitable projects in his hands.

Chu Yan had implemented reforms in these two places since he took over, and he was now unclear on their operational models.

If something suddenly happened to Chu Yan, the hospital and company would be headless dragons, and he estimated he would lose money.

Although Chu Yan had caused the death of Lu Zhiheng, Lu Zhiheng was already dead, and naturally, the help from the living Chu Yan was greater than that from a dead person; there was no need to sacrifice Chu Yan for a dead man.

In Lu Tingming’s heart, profit always took precedence.

But Chu Yan was a wild cub, even he wasn’t sure he could control him.

He stared at the porcelain vial in his hand, a trace of calculation flashing through his eyes.

"Does this venom bug have any side effects?"

"There’s no side effect from consuming the female venom bug, but the person who consumes the Child Gu can only become a slave for life. If you think this is too risky, then make Chu Yan consume the Child Gu and you can return the female venom bug to me."

Lu Tingming, in fact, hadn’t thought of immediately consuming the female venom bug himself, especially since he didn’t really trust the Black Robed Man.

While he was pondering, the Black Robed Man’s figure had already disappeared from the study.

A servant came knocking at the door, announcing that Chu Yan had arrived.

"I’m going to settle accounts with him!"

Xu Biqing, furious, prepared to go downstairs.

"Wait."

Lu Tingming stopped her, passing the porcelain vial to her.

"Bi Qing, if you really want to avenge Zhiheng, why not consume this female venom bug?"

"I don’t want to eat such a disgusting bug!"

Xu Biqing showed a look of disgust.

"If Chu Yan consumes the Child Gu and you consume the female venom bug, you can control Chu Yan. Then, as long as you don’t kill him, you can torment him as much as you want.

It’s much more painful than killing him. Don’t you want to avenge Zhiheng?"

"Then why don’t you eat it?"

Xu Biqing sneered, "Still, in your heart, you have this son, so you don’t want him to die."

"You also know Chu Yan’s capabilities, I’ve always been exploiting him to manage the company. Since you don’t trust me, you should all the more consume the female venom bug.

It would be best if you controlled Chu Yan."

The grief of losing her son had already overwhelmed Xu Biqing’s rationale.

She couldn’t help but took the porcelain vial, actually considering the issue.

If Lu Tingming consumed the female venom bug and controlled Chu Yan, who knew if father and son might join forces to betray her?

"Then let me eat it."

The two went downstairs and met Chu Yan.

Xu Biqing forcefully controlled her emotions, though her face was cold.

Lu Tingming first discussed some company matters with Chu Yan, then finally said, "Why not stay for dinner tonight?"

"No need, my wife is waiting for me at home."

Chu Yan declined, and Lu Tingming added, "We as a family haven’t had dinner together in a long time, just please stay, let’s father and son have a good talk.

After Zhiheng’s accident, I truly feel that life is unpredictable, and we must cherish the time spent with family."
