Hearing this, Ye Tian's heart stirred: "Oh, after you woke up, you found yourself on the windowsill?"
Lu Chuanxin nodded: "Yes, I didn't dare to tell anyone, but I felt something was wrong, so I had to come and ask you today."
Ye Tian thought for a moment and asked him, "Are you staying in Haicheng tonight?"
Lu Chuanxin: "If needed, I can stay for a few days."
Ye Tian: "How about this, you stay at my place tonight, and I'll observe."
Lu Chuanxin smiled: "Wouldn't that be too much of a bother?"
Ye Tian: "Not at all, it's just Zi Yi and me in the house."
Lu Chuanxin smiled: "Then I won't be polite with you, brother."
After dinner, Ye Tian invited Lu Chuanxin to his home.
Lin Jinsheng happened to come home that evening. Upon hearing that a big boss like Lu Chuanxin was present, he immediately brought two bottles of wine to visit.
Casually, Ye Tian had the Imperial Kitchen send over a few dishes, and the three of them had a drink.
Speaking of which, the project Lin Jinsheng took on was found with Lu Chuanxin's help, so Lin Jinsheng took the opportunity to express his gratitude.
They didn't drink much. Lu Chuanxin went to the study around seven o'clock as he had a lot of business to handle. His secretary and driver lived downstairs respectively.
Ye Tian and Lin Ziyi lived in rooms at the other end. Lin Ziyi fell asleep first, and Ye Tian cultivated in the living room.
It wasn't until eleven-thirty at night that Lu Chuanxin went to bed.
A little past one in the morning, Ye Tian suddenly opened his eyes. He heard faint sounds from the room, someone getting out of bed and walking.
He immediately flashed to Lu Chuanxin's door and gently pushed it open.
He saw Lu Chuanxin standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring intently outside.
Ye Tian crouched down and moved to the side of the floor-to-ceiling window, concentrating and looking down. Upon looking, he saw a person completely wrapped in a black cloak standing on the lawn outside, their eyes emitting a faint green light, staring back at Lu Chuanxin.
Ye Tian hid behind the curtains and observed through the gap, so the other party did not discover him. He slowly retreated and then silently went downstairs.
Behind the house, there was a lawn. At this moment, a person completely covered in a black cloak was muttering in a low voice, seemingly reciting an incantation.
Suddenly, the strange person grunted and slowly sat on the ground. Immediately after, he grunted a few more times, his body becoming stiff.
It was Ye Tian who made the move. He used his flying needle technique to incapacitate the person. Then, he circled the area but found no one else.
Finally, he approached the cloaked figure and pulled off the cloak. He then saw a short, stout middle-aged man in his fifties, with dark skin and a large black spot on his face, looking somewhat ferocious.
The胖子 looked at Ye Tian in shock and said, "So, you are a fellow practitioner. My apologies, I didn't know you were here. I have offended you."
Ye Tian grabbed him and placed him on a chair, saying, "Speak, why were you targeting Lu Chuanxin?"
The胖子 squeezed out a smile: "Friend, this matter has nothing to do with you. I advise you not to meddle, because you cannot afford to offend that person."
Ye Tian: "Oh? Then do you think you can afford to offend me?"
The fat on the胖子's face trembled: "Friend, what do you want?"
Ye Tian: "Answer whatever I ask truthfully. Otherwise, I will have to hypnotize you and find out everything I want to know. But you know, after hypnosis, you might turn into an idiot."
The胖子's face turned ugly: "You win. Ask whatever you want."
Ye Tian: "Still the same question, who told you to deal with Lu Chuanxin?"
The胖子: "Ghost Dao Sect."
Ye Tian: "Ghost Dao Sect? Are you a member of the sect?"
The胖子: "I am a low-level elder of the Ghost Dao Sect, ordered by the Sect Master to deal with Lu Chuanxin."
"What is the purpose?" Ye Tian asked.
The胖子: "To control Lu Chuanxin and obtain his assets."
Ye Tian: "There are so many wealthy people, why Lu Chuanxin?"
The胖子: "Lu Chuanxin offended someone, and that person hired the Ghost Dao Sect to act."
"Who?"
The胖子: "Someone named Liang Daoming. He visited the Sect Master that day, and I saw him. After he left, the Sect Master assigned me this mission."
Ye Tian sneered: "Go back and tell your Sect Master that I will protect Lu Chuanxin. If he still refuses to stop, then we will settle this the way of the martial world, and see who is truly capable!"
