Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter

Chapter 57 Losing Control

This was a serious matter of taking out roots instead of leaving them be, I truly pity them. What grudges does Ye Zhihao bear against them to have him go through length to provoke them?

Ren Ye didn't intend to hide the truth as he raised himself up and looked at Ma Zheng seriously, "What relationship do you have with Ye Zhihao?"

"Eh?"

How come he knows Ye Zhihao has been targeting me lately? Could it be it was him who sent me this thing?  I could have sworn his face lit up when he observed my desk, could it be?

Sh*t

Ma Zheng figured out the culprit as he felt a burning flame inside his heart, he gritted his teeth and confirmed Ren Ye's question, "He has been…playing lots of games with me lately."

Sh*t! Why did I make it sound like I'm in a relationship with him?

"Targeted me multiple times and sent his men over to spy on me."

Ren Ye's suspicion was confirmed as he deducted that the person Ye Zhihao was targeting wasn't Ma Meifan but her brother instead, Ma Zheng.

There was also another question Ren Ye had and believed was the key as to why Ye Zhihao was targeting him.

Could it be he knows Ma Zheng is a transmigrator like himself?

That was a guess but Ren Ye believed it so or perhaps it was because of conflicts in business interest. After all, Ye Family has been known to pull strings and turn one against another in many families.

"Mm. He will continue to do so until you get rid of him."

Ren Ye indirectly answered his question from before as Ma Zheng immediately felt the urge to vomit and punch Ye Zhihao's face.

That rat! He seriously went mad!

"I know your sister."

Ren Ye spoke indifferently with an emotionless expression, his words immediately caught Ma Zheng's attention as he couldn't help but exclaim inwardly.

Fanfan knows someone capable? Why didn't she even mutter a word to me? Am I that untrustworthy of a brother?

He felt disheartened.

"Not only do I know her but I also saved her."

"Huh?"

This man not only knows her but also saved her! Was he the man who saved her a couple of days ago?

Fanfan didn't mention his name at all! Humph! She only said she was saved!

How could I miss such an obvious attempt by her at hiding what happened?

Ma Zheng felt even more disheartened. If he was the express his disappointment at his sister, he would have been a cartoon character with its head lowered onto the ground.

"The culprit who staged her accident…"

"You guess it…"

Ren Ye didn't intend to hide, it was also his idea to turn him against Ye Zhihao as well. He would be able to have another person on his side fighting against Ye Zhihao.

"Ye Zhihao."

Ma Zheng immediately figured out who had targeted his beloved and pretty sister. He couldn't wait to punish them for almost putting his only sister in trouble.

But Ma Zheng wasn't dense, he needed evidences from Ren Ye. As he was able to ask, his system immediately popped up.

[Host! Do you wish to proceed?]

"?"

Ma Zheng was confused as to why his system would pop out randomly and asked him if he wishes to continue.

[Host! You may enter a dangerous stage after knowing the answer]

[Do you wish to abandon your carefree lifestyle?]

"…"

[Although you may benefit horrendously from this new stage, but danger could be lurking]

Ma Zheng was stunned as he suddenly felt conflicted.

Danger lurking? Do you not think that every day I am already living a life filled with danger? Every minute, I have a renewed urge telling me to jump off a cliff!

Ye Zhihao is targeting me already and if I choose not to proceed, wouldn't that make me defenseless and even still may face the same fate? What differences does it make?

Ma Zheng proceeded after much thought. He believed in this world, no matter what he is or how he is, he was still going to die.

If you're going to die anyway, why not die faster.

His way of thinking was rather twisted but he remained true to himself. Ma Zheng proceeded further and the system immediately sent out a bunch of cheering emoticons covering his screen.

"How did you know?" Ma Zheng asked Ren Ye confidently, waiting for his prize.

[Ding! Congratulation on entering a new stage!]

[As congratulations, we sent 1 million RMB to your bank account]

"…"

[And a Soul-cleansing Ray!]

Yes! Finally something to be happy about!

Ma Zheng was overjoyed.

Ren Ye didn't know what Ma Zheng was going through as he felt this man was rather crazy, smiling and laughing to himself after finding out his sister was almost kidnapped by his enemy.

"Sun De was his loyal subordinate. Ye Zhihao specifically ordered him to send those men to kidnap your sister. I confirmed this through multiple sources."

His sources were him and his system.

Ma Zheng nodded his head with a serious expression, wanting to appear professional first before celebrating later.

"I see. It is simply his way of trying to conceal his attempt."

"Although I am not completely sure why he decided to target me instead of others. Compared to others, I am only in the second layer of wealth and I have only been doing business recently."

Ma Zheng had this question inside his head ever since he figured out Ye Zhihao had been trying to provoke him.

"The question shall be answered by you, he covets something that you have. Something that no one else has other than yourself," Ren Ye curled his lips into a mysterious smile, his face was unreadable.

Could it be…he wants to marry my sister! Impossible!

Ma Zheng shook his head inwardly.

Something I have that no one else has…What could it be?

[Soul-cleansing Ray: A unique ability that allows you to use them on tainted souls and minds. Aiding them in discarding unwanted worries and sinful thoughts]

[Specially effective against fighting paranormal beings.]

"Ah!"

It's you that he wants! You useless thing, I truly thought you were useless in other things except making money. But since Ye Zhihao wants you, I shall not let him have it.

[Shut up!]

Ma Zheng wanted to let out a long chuckle as he was able to read through Ren Ye's words, he nodded his head and immediately had his guards up against Ren Ye.

"How did you know?"

"…"

Thud!

Ren Ye swung his head to his right side and squinted his eyes, he raised his binoculars and scanned his surrounding. He immediately found the shadow that has been hiding behind the walls.

"Took you long enough to return."

Ren Ye said as he took out his revolver and placed his infused bullets into the revolver.

He was able to get these bullets after taking out all of Sun De's men and his revolver was able to shoot out any kind of bullet.

Ren Ye placed the cold bullets, his hand slightly flinched from the coldness of the potion, into the small black revolver as he raised them and aimed it against the shadow.

Instead of aiming it straight for the exact place, Ren Ye decided to predict its move first. It was rather unpredictable and flew around the room chaotically.

Due to its lack of sound and movements on the ground, Ren Ye was unable to predict its next move.

"Be careful, don't let it open its mouth!" Old Yi immediately sounded out inwardly.

The shadow began trembling and emitting a dark smoke-like aura, a hole suddenly opened on its body and slanted it into a mouth. It opened 'its mouth' as it shrieked.

Although it 'shrieked', it did not produce any sound other than a deafening effect on others. Ren Ye gritted his teeth and used his wrists to cover his ears.

Ma Zheng was affected as well as he felt something was slamming on his ears, making deafening sound and making him feel as though his ears were about to burst.

What kind of creature is this?

Both Ma Zheng and Ren Ye thought at the same time.

Ma Zheng was unable to see it due to his low cultivation level but he was able to feel it, he immediately realized things weren't as calm as they seemed.

Considering Ren Ye was holding binoculars in his hand, there must be something hiding inside his office.

[Host! Grab the binoculars from Ren Ye and take out your Soul-cleansing Ray!]

What?

Ma Zheng was unable to hold on anymore as he rushed forward to Ren Ye's side.

Ren Ye was struggling to keep his calm as the energy inside his body was beginning to grow chaotic. All the energy he tried to keep balanced was falling out and causing the tips of his finger to grow cold.

His face became pale and his lips quickly turned purple.

His unfeeling hands dropped the binoculars onto the ground and he immediately placed his cold hands onto his chest, pushing them repeatedly.

His chest felt tight and he was breathing through his mouth instead. He dropped his knees onto the ground as he threw aside the specter's matter and focused on maintaining balance instead

This creature has the ability to cause chaos inside one's body!

Ma Zheng immediately caught the binoculars and raised them to his eyes,

[Ability]
