Chapter 1749: Chapter 1749: Mysterious Puppet Master vs. Ruthless Female Supporting Role (Part 34)

Like right now.

Chen Qiqi only felt that her whole body, from the very inside, from her five viscera and six bowels, was seeping out a cold so bitter it was about to freeze her stiff.

She turned the heater in the room up to the maximum; sweat was beading on her forehead—that was hot.

But her body was still trembling inside.

Before she went through this, Chen Qiqi would never have imagined that in this world there could actually be such a method to torture people.

Having already been through it countless times, Chen Qiqi knew this was only the beginning.

When it got a bit later, a bit later, that cold would grow even more terrifying.

At that time, that would be when life really became worse than death.

Eleven o’clock.

The entire Chen Family villa was deathly quiet.

The servants had all gone to rest.

After hearing Gu Shengyin’s words, Old Master Chen had not told anyone that he would be performing a ritual for his son at midnight.

A black shadow silently appeared at the main gate of the Chen Family estate.

Then the shadow passed through that alloy gate sturdy enough to stop bullets, as if it were a true shadow, following the darkness to the door of a certain room on the second floor.

According to his information, this was Chen Biyue’s room.

On the tightly closed door, a black shadow suddenly appeared.

The room inside was utterly silent; only the bed showed a human-shaped rise. The one sleeping there was none other than the Chen Family’s eldest young master, Chen Biyue.

The black shadow shot toward Chen Biyue at an extremely fast speed.

From the look of it, it seemed about to slam straight into his body.

Just as it reached the bedside, a heaven-shaking tiger’s roar suddenly sounded by its ear.

Then a tremendous suction force came from behind, and the entire black shadow was swallowed in one gulp by the White Fox!

"Pfft!"

In an apartment not far from the Chen Family residence, the Sorcerer whose scalp was covered in talismanic script changed expression and muffledly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"The opponent is too powerful..."

As if sensing something, he forced his injured body to move, hastily tidied up the things in the room, and went out the door.

No one at the Chen Family villa was awakened.

Those who should be asleep were asleep; those who couldn’t sleep were all waiting for midnight to strike.

That heaven-shaking tiger’s roar, apart from that black shadow, seemingly no one else heard it.

Eleven thirty.

Gu Shengyin’s door was lightly knocked on.

She turned on the light and got up to open the door.

As expected, standing outside was Old Master Chen, fully dressed and neatly turned out.

Old Master Chen was still in the same outfit he’d worn during the day, looking very spirited.

Clearly, this night, he was among those who couldn’t sleep.

"Forgive me for disturbing you, Master. It’s just that seeing the time about to come, I’m extremely nervous," Old Master Chen said, not dissembling in the least about how he was feeling.

His eldest son, Chen Biyue, had been in a coma for so long; he had sought out countless masters, but every time hope was kindled, it was finally snuffed out by merciless reality.

This time, whatever the outcome, at least this Master seemed more trustworthy than any of the previous ones. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Gu Shengyin only said calmly, "The bond between father and son is understandable. Let’s go."

She walked into Chen Biyue’s room, and as she turned on the light she suddenly said, "Oh right, not long ago, someone tried to attack the person on the bed."

Old Master Chen jolted.

Biyue was already like this, and there were still people who wouldn’t let him go?

No, no, more likely someone knew he was very likely to wake up, so they couldn’t wait to make a move before that.

Old Master Chen felt a chill in his heart.

Today, how many people knew about this matter?
