Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 638: Chapter 637 【Such a Vicious and Cheap Woman】

[PS: Here’s the first update for today. A duel of superpowers, not to be missed!!!]

”Really? Chief Luo Ha told me about this method. He said that after making someone consume these seductive drugs, dropping their blood into this white vial is like performing a sacrificial ritual when casting a curse. In this way, the person who has taken the seductive drugs will be forever controlled!” Ye Tianchen said with a puzzled expression.

”But... my middle finger is nearly drained of blood, yet there’s still no change. There’s nothing unusual in my mind, either. It shouldn’t be like this,” Ling Yuyang said, frowning in confusion.

”Could it be that there’s not enough blood? This vial isn’t small, why don’t you, young master, slice open the palm of your hand and try filling the vial with blood?” Ye Tianchen suggested after thinking for a moment.

”But... how much blood would that be?” Ling Yuyang, seeing the sizable white vial in front of him, hesitated.

At this moment, Ye Tianchen’s lips curled into a sly smile, then he looked seriously at Ling Yuyang and said, ”Young master, I have been by your side for over a decade. Without you, there wouldn’t be an Ah Pi like me today. Let me do it. Even if I die, I must accomplish this for the young master to claim the entire Ling Group’s assets!”

Ling Yuyang glanced at Ye Tianchen, paused for about three seconds, then smiled and said, ”Ah Pi, I know you are loyal to me and have helped me a lot over the years. I can assure you that once I gain control over all the Ling Group’s assets, I won’t let you down. Let me handle this myself, you just stand aside!”

”Yes, young master!” Ye Tianchen nodded and stepped aside.

With a snick, Ling Yuyang sliced open the palm of his left hand, and a large amount of blood gushed out, all dripping into the white vial. The pain made Ling Yuyang grimace. For a tough man like him, such a wound was nothing. But for someone to watch helplessly as he harms himself, the mental strain was overwhelming.

Meanwhile, Ye Tianchen stood aside, barely holding back his laughter. The method was entirely fabricated by him. When he had overheard the conversation between Luo Ha and Ah Pi in the bamboo forest, the only detail mentioned was that consuming this seductive drug would allow control over people, but how exactly it controlled them was unknown to him. He was just playing around with Ling Yuyang at this point, and also making sure Ling Yuyang would be off guard without any suspicions. Otherwise, after seeing Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun consume the drug, how would he control them? There had to be some method, and since Ye Tianchen was idle anyway, letting Ling Yuyang cut himself a few times was not a bad idea.

After who knows how long, a roar came from Ling Yuyang’s mansion:”

”Damn it, those bastards from the U.S. must be playing me! It’s totally ineffective, not the slightest reaction, and I’ve lost so much blood for nothing, it’s infuriating!”

”Young master, are you alright?” Ye Tianchen asked, pretending to be very concerned.

At that moment, Ling Yuyang’s hands were full of cuts, with blood still oozing out, causing him intense pain and making him break out in cold sweats. His face had turned quite pale. He dared not sever his major arteries, fearing excessive blood loss could kill him, nor did he trust the outsider Ye Tianchen to intervene, leaving him no choice but to continue cutting open his own palms, resulting in wounds so numerous that a mere touch brought excruciating pain.

Ye Tianchen had earlier professed loyalty and offered to bleed himself, but that was all false because he knew Ling Yuyang would never agree. How could such an ambitious and ruthless man allow someone else to control his own father? If Ye Tianchen ever betrayed him, how inconsolable would he be? Thus, no matter how painful or how much blood was shed, Ling Yuyang continued to slice himself with a knife, cutting enough to fill the entire white vial, yet still without any reaction, useless as ever.

”Hateful, the U.S. government is too cruel, playing me like this. Once I take over the entirety of the Ling Group’s properties, I’ll make them pay!” Ling Yuyang roared furiously.

”Young master...” Ye Tianchen pretended to look a bit guilty and scared.

”Get lost, you useless piece of trash, can’t even handle this simple task, what use are you?” Ling Yuyang turned and fiercely berated Ye Tianchen.

”Young master, I really didn’t know...” Ye Tianchen stepped back a few steps, feigning a very frightened look.

”Luo Ha, I’ll kill you!” Ling Yuyang shouted loudly.

Poor Ling Yuyang, he did not know that the Ah Pi beside him was no longer the real Ah Pi, but was Ye Tianchen in disguise using the ”Bone Transformation Skill”. As for the method to control Ling Shuanghe, it was also concocted by Ye Tianchen, and after cutting more than a dozen slashes into each of his palms, it’s easy to imagine how dreadful it was.

”It’s terrible, the Third Miss is dead, the Third Miss is dead...”

Suddenly, the entire Ling family estate erupted into chaos, with the screams of the servants piercing the air. Ling Yuyang was momentarily stunned before turning to Ye Tianchen and saying, ”Let’s go check it out!”

”Mhm!”

It wasn’t long before Ye Tianchen and Ling Yuyang arrived at the villa where Ling Xia lived. They saw that a crowd had already gathered there, consisting mostly of the estate’s servants and bodyguards, as well as soldiers from the Marine Corps stationed outside. However, Ling Shuanghe and Ling Yuxun were nowhere to be seen.

”What happened?” Ling Yuyang walked over and asked.

”Young Master is here, make way, everyone!” Ye Tianchen followed up.

The onlooking servants cleared a path, all while whispering and discussing among themselves, clueless about what had happened. As Ye Tianchen approached, he saw that Ling Xia was already lying on the ground covered in blood, appearing to have fallen from upstairs.

”How could this have happened?”

”Miss Xia has always been careful. How could she have fallen from upstairs?”

”This doesn’t feel right. Tomorrow is the deadline given by the government to the Ling family, and just at this time, Miss Xia died?”

”I heard that the old master just divided part of the family estate among the eldest young master, Miss Xia, and Miss Qing. Right after that, Miss Xia died. Could it be...”

Some of the braver servants began whispering among themselves. The timing of Miss Xia’s death, Ling Xia, indeed had too many suspicious elements, making it hard not to speculate about the situation. As the rumors spread uncontrollably, Ling Yuyang also frowned. Although he had also planned to kill his sisters Ling Xia and Ling Qing, he had not expected someone else to act before Ah Pi could carry out the task. Who could it be? Was it Ling Qing?

”Sister, sister, what happened to you? Wake up, who, who could be so cruel to kill you!” Then, Ling Qing rushed over and collapsed in front of Ling Xia, crying out loud.

”Miss Xia died so horribly, all her internal organs must have shattered, especially at this time...”

Many people couldn’t help but sneak glances at Ling Yuyang. Ling Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly realized something shocking. If many people secretly believed he had killed his younger sister, then even if he managed to control his father Ling Shuanghe, it would still be hard to win people over. The old folks of Ling Group would never let someone who had killed his own sister become the chairman.

”Whoever is behind this atrocious act against my sister, I swear here, Ling Yuyang, that I will bring the murderer to justice. I won’t let my sister die in vain!” Ling Yuyang put on a furious look and stared intensely at Ling Qing as he spoke.

”Ling Yuyang, you beast, you killed sister and still pretend to mourn here, showing fake compassion. Are you even human? Just for a bit of the estate, you killed our sister, why would you do that?”

Suddenly, Ling Qing stood up from the ground, rushed up to Ling Yuyang, grabbed him by the collar with both hands, and shouted at him, tears streaming down her face. Seeing her emotional state, many onlookers were stirred. If it weren’t for the fact that Ling Yuyang was the eldest young master and their master, many would have probably taken action against him.

”You... sister, this is slander. How could I possibly harm our sister? What evidence do you have? This is defamation...” Ling Yuyang, realizing the gravity of the situation, was already sweating profusely—not because he feared being misunderstood by those around him, but because he suddenly realized Ling Qing’s scheming, which was truly terrifying. If everyone believed he had killed Ling Xia, then Ling Yuyang would be ruined and would not stand a chance to recover. The implications were too severe; the government might not even choose to cooperate with him again. How could someone who had killed his own sister become the chairman of Ling Group? Wouldn’t that make the entire world ridicule and abhor him?

”You don’t? Tonight, father divided fifty percent of Ling Group’s shares among us; you got thirty percent while sister and I each received ten percent. Before we came out here, you said since sister was already getting the property in Washington when she got married, she shouldn’t have gotten this additional ten percent and should give it back. Sister refused, and you threatened her. If I hadn’t been there, you might have already harmed her... I never imagined you could be so cruel and inhumane, still killing our sister, killing your own sister by your own hands, you beast!” Ling Qing’s tears kept falling as she trembled, pointing her right index finger at Ling Yuyang and cursing him.

”You...” Ling Yuyang was suddenly at a loss for words.

”Sister, I’m sorry, I’m so sorry, I failed you. If I had known, I would have listened to you and stayed with you tonight, then you wouldn’t have fallen victim to our brother’s maliciousness, killed by this beast...” As Ling Qing spoke, she collapsed to the ground again, utterly heartbroken.
