Chapter 349: The Frightened Shangxi Shangrind (2/3)
Yang Chen smiled slightly, took a step forward, and pressed the doorbell.
Seeing Yang Chen's confident demeanor, the two thought that Yang Chen didn't seem to be lying.
After the doorbell rang, the two people eating in the villa's basement were taken aback and looked up.
"Someone's here!" a deep voice from Shangxi said.
Shangxi nodded, picked up the weapon beside him, and walked out.
Shangxi frowned and said, "Be careful, try not to be noticed."
"Understood!" Shangxi replied in a deep voice.
To be honest, he wasn't afraid of anything; it was just that Shangxi was extremely vulnerable right now. If many people came for a slaughter, he could take care of himself but might not be able to save Shangxi.
If Shangxi were to be killed, he wouldn't escape the fate of being punished when returning to the sect.
So, the two of them were in a situation of mutual destruction.
Shangxi carefully walked out of the basement and peered outside from the room.
When he saw who was standing at the door, his legs gave way, almost collapsing to the ground.
Shangxi's handsome face turned paper-white with fear. Without daring to linger, he hurried back towards the basement.
Seeing Shangxi rush back in a panic, Shangxi frowned deeply, sensing something bad.
"Senior Brother! It's not—it's not good!" Shangxi cried out in terror, his voice changing.
Shangxi's face darkened and he promptly asked, "What's going on?"
"Yang—Yang Chen is here!" Shangxi shouted.
"What!" Shangxi looked at Shangxi in disbelief.
"Yang Chen is here!" Shangxi repeated with wide eyes.
He felt that the two of them might not make it out of this situation today.
Back when Yang Chen was seriously injured, even then they were no match for him, let alone now that Shangxi was still recovering from severe wounds.
If a fight really broke out, even if they teamed up, they might still lose to Yang Chen.
Moreover, now it seemed Yang Chen had fully recovered!
"No, this—this can't be!" Shangxi said in disbelief, staring at Shangxi, "Back then, Yang Chen was seriously injured. While fighting with me, I observed his injuries. His entire shoulder was almost useless and I struck him again, so he couldn't have recovered so fast. Plus, his other hand was broken by me. How could it heal so quickly? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I can tell that Yang Chen is a cautious man; he wouldn't come seeking revenge still injured!"
Shangxi said with a pale face, "But... but now, he... he seems to have, seemingly fully recovered!"
"It's absolutely impossible!" Shangxi shouted in panic, "That's absolutely impossible! No, no, no! That's entirely impossible! His injuries were worse than mine. Even if I didn't see if he had any internal injuries, it's hard to be sure. But his external wounds were much more severe. Soft tissue damage takes a hundred days, and the shoulder injury would take at least half a year to recuperate. It couldn't have healed so fast! You must be seeing things! Yes! You must be mistaken!"
Shangxi, usually composed and in control of everything, was nowhere to be found. At this moment, he became flustered, nervous, panicked, even a bit hysterical.
Shangxi also got anxious, saying to Shangxi, "The question now isn't whether it's possible. How could I be wrong? The problem is what do we do now. Yang Chen has recovered, and we definitely can't beat him. So what now!"
Hearing this, Shangxi couldn't help but smile bitterly, shaking his head, "Run? Can we escape?"
After despair, Shangxi suddenly became calm again.
He frowned in deep thought.
After a long time, Shangxi raised his head, "Has he not come in yet?"
Shangxi also found it strange. Surely, a vengeful person wouldn't press the doorbell and wait for someone to open it?
"If he's really here to find us, then it means he has already confirmed our location. Since he hasn't stormed in, I think he isn't necessarily here for revenge."
Saying this, Shangxi struggled to stand, saying to Shangxi, "Let's go! Let's go and meet him. If it's fortune, it's not misfortune; if it's misfortune, it can't be avoided. Let's face it as soldiers defend against soldiers, water floods and soil harbors."
Shangxi nodded, took a deep breath, and reached out to support Shangxi, walking outside.
...
Outside, Sun Yue was growing impatient and stared at Yang Chen, "I say, are you sure of your info? It's been ages, and no one's come out yet. Could it be that the two went on a trip and haven't returned?"
Yang Chen sighed helplessly and said in a deep voice, "I'm quite sure they are inside."
"You've only been in Gu Gu City for a day, right? We've been investigating for days and haven't found any information on those two. How did you find them?" Sun Yue said, full of disbelief.
Until now, Sun Yue constantly tried to pry information from Yang Chen. Not only was it what Ye Xin asked her to do, but she was also becoming curious about Yang Chen's identity.
Yang Chen said blandly, "I have my channels, but as for what channels, no comment."
"Hmph!" Sun Yue pouted, "I don't care to know anyway!"
Ye Xin said solemnly, "I believe in Yang Chen. Let's wait a little longer."
Yang Chen smiled slightly, casting an appreciative glance at Ye Xin.
As long as Ye Xin believed in him, that was enough.
At that moment, Yang Chen heard a noise from the villa.
He turned his head to see Shangxi being supported by Shangxi, hobbling out.
Upon seeing this scene, Sun Yue's eyes widened in disbelief.
She glanced at Yang Chen, who had only a simple smile but was exceptionally confident.
At that moment, she finally believed that Yang Chen wasn't joking at all, and she knew Yang Chen's identity was definitely not simple!
Ye Xin was also very surprised, but seeing Shangxi and Shangxi come out, Ye Xin approached and called out, "Senior Brother Shangxi, Senior Brother Shangxi!"
Upon seeing Ye Xin, the two showed signs of joy on their faces.
Because they knew, as long as Ye Xin was here, Yang Chen wouldn't harm them.
Shangxi took a closer look at Yang Chen, only to find no sign of injury. It was as if he had truly healed.
Recalling Yang Chen's terrifying injuries back then, Shangxi couldn't imagine how Yang Chen managed to recover so quickly.
Now, Shangxi had an added level of apprehension towards Yang Chen.
"Junior Sister Ye Xin, why are you here?" Shangxi asked.
Ye Xin said flatly, "The sect sent people to find me, saying that you two had been away for nearly a month without returning, so they asked me to look for you."
"Oh, oh!" Shangxi chuckled, "Made our master and senior brothers worried. I'm currently here recovering from my injuries, inconvenient to return, but I'll contact the sect, don't worry."
Ye Xin nodded and said, "Then contact them now."
She didn't trust Shangxi's or Shangxi's words and preferred to take the initiative.
Immediately, Ye Xin took out her phone and began recording, "Current location, Gu Gu City, Siam, West Street Villa District, Courtyard No. 356. In front of me are Shangxi and Shangxi, currently recuperating here, with no other incidents."
After that, Ye Xin aimed the camera at Shangxi and Shangxi, indicating for them to speak.
Shangxi's face showed awkwardness and humiliation, but with no choice, under the roof, he had to bow his head and introduced, "Hello to master, seniors, and brothers. I am currently safe in Gu Gu City, recovering here, so there's no need to worry..."
