My beautiful CEO wife-Chapter 1688: Xiao Zheng’s Wrath

Xiao Zheng was momentarily stunned, then a gentle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He softly caressed her hair and whispered in her ear, "It’s all right now, don’t worry, am I not still here?"

The person in his arms said nothing, still holding him tightly with her head lowered. Xiao Zheng looked at her affectionately, yet felt somewhat helpless about the girl’s attachment.

"Alright, alright, shall we go inside first?" Xiao Zheng said helplessly.

The person in his arms seemed to nod but still refused to let go of Xiao Zheng, continuing to cling tightly to his body.

Xiao Zheng shook his head in resignation, casually scooped Yuan Ying into his arms, and without looking at her embarrassed expression, walked straight into the house, his mind flooded with thoughts.

But he did not notice that when he scooped the girl up, a fierce glint and killing intent flashed through her eyes.

Xiao Zheng entered the house with a gentle smile still on his lips, while the girl kept her eyes closed, nestling in his embrace. However, the moment he walked inside, the warm smile on Xiao Zheng’s face abruptly vanished, replaced by a sudden flash of icy resolve and murderous intent in his eyes.

......

At the Sky Net Base.

Long Qie and Titan were bantering with each other, while Evil Eyes meditated with closed eyes in the recovery room, his internal injuries rapidly healing. Leng Rubing and Chu Xiaoran sat in a room, watching the beautiful, tranquil night sky and thinking of their loved ones. Catherine walked down the corridor, calculating how to deliver a fatal blow to Beidao Guang.

But none of them noticed that outside the Sky Net Base, a monk with a foolish grin appeared. He looked up at the imposing base, and the grin on his lips deepened, carrying a hint of cruelty.

He strode inside; the base guards spotted him immediately but before they could sound the alarm, a black wind swept past, instantly engulfing all the guards.

He walked straight into the base, all electronic devices and defenses losing effectiveness before him. In that very moment, Sky Net suddenly became a blind man with just one eye left.

Long Qie and the others had anticipated that the Great Sound Buddha Sect would see Sky Net as an eyesore, the biggest enemy to eliminate with priority, but they hadn’t expected the sect’s actions to be so swift.

And the state of defeat was so utterly despairing.

......

Slam!

Tian Yin dropped a black piece, but unlike the time he played against Bei Daohai, this time, he had no opponent!

This time, he didn’t need an opponent. His opponent wouldn’t have the leisure to play chess with him, for his opponent was outside the board.

His piece had already been placed; he was waiting for his opponent’s move.

He slowly raised his head, looking at Yuan Ying, whose face was full of anger as she was bound by Gang Qi. His aloof expression deepened as he murmured to himself.

"I wonder, how will you counter this move, Evil God Xiao Zheng?"

......

Elsewhere...

Xiao Zheng halted, the warmth on his face vanished entirely, replaced by a bone-chilling cold and fierce killing intent. He cast a cold glance at Yuan Ying in his arms. The girl continued to nestle against him, as if acting genuinely.

He flung Yuan Ying onto the sofa. She cried out in pain, tried to struggle, but found that Xiao Zheng’s Gang Qi had already adhered to her, immobilizing her completely.

Yuan Ying tried to struggle again but eventually gave up when she realized she couldn’t break free from Xiao Zheng’s control. She slightly curled her lips, looking at Xiao Zheng with a touch of charm.

"As a reference, can you tell me how you figured it out?"

Xiao Zheng did not answer. Instead, he pulled a chair over, sat calmly, and looked at her.

"Where is Yuan Ying?"

His words were light, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, but it was precisely this that made his words seem chillingly indifferent, prompting a slight shiver.

Her expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal, chuckling charmingly at Xiao Zheng and pouted, "What a heartless man, throwing someone aside and ignoring them afterward."

With that, a seductive hint wafted from her eyes, gradually swirling towards Xiao Zheng’s eyes.

Xiao Zheng’s expression remained unchanged as he let the seduction encircle him. He sat upright, staring icily at the woman, and asked coldly, "I’ll ask again, where is Yuan Ying?"

"Heh." Seeing Xiao Zheng’s unchanged expression, the woman wasn’t surprised. She laughed softly, "Mr. Xiao, you are quite a romantic man. Just a mute woman, is she worth this much to you?"

Xiao Zheng’s face turned icy as he suddenly stood up, grabbed the woman’s throat, and lifted her. Despite her shocked and incredulous eyes, he coldly asked, "I’m only giving you three sentences, and you’ve wasted two. Where is Yuan Ying?"

The woman’s entire body trembled, her eyes widened with terror. Her mouth opened, drawing in breath but not exhaling, her hands futilely waving in the air, unable to stop Xiao Zheng’s gradually tightening grip.

Xiao Zheng stood tall like a pine tree, his eyes coldly watching the woman.

Meeting Xiao Zheng’s gaze, her body shuddered violently. Her lips trembled as she struggled to utter a few words.

"Great... Great Sound... Great Sound Buddha Sect."

Xiao Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, a frosty stare that was terrifying. He paused for a few seconds, then a chilling smile crept across his lips.

"Very good."

At that moment, to the woman, Xiao Zheng seemed as terrifying as a demon fallen from Hell. Feeling the grip on her neck tightening, panic swept over her eyes as she struggled desperately.

She wanted to speak, but Xiao Zheng’s hand was locked on her throat. At that moment, primal survival instincts exploded in her mind, but it was her last conscious thought.

A crack sound was heard, and with her eyes rolled back, her head drooped down as Xiao Zheng mercilessly crushed her neck, ending her unrealistic hopes, then tossed her aside.

He lingered there for a while, then slowly turned around, hands in pockets, and walked forward with a cold gaze.

Tian Yin stepped out of the room, looking up at the sky now blanketed with clouds, stars dimmed by the moonlight. The breeze blew, carrying the scent of an impending storm. He slowly closed his eyes, hands together in a contemplative gesture.

After a long time, Su He emerged from the darkness, prompting Tian Yin to slowly open his eyes.

"How was it?" he asked indifferently.

Su He nodded and said, "It went smoothly, but..."

"If you have concerns, feel free to say them."

Su He hesitated for a moment, pursed his lips slightly, and said with slight worry, "By doing this, we might completely infuriate him."
