Late at night.
Second-floor training hall of the villa.
Moonlight streamed through the glass window, illuminating Shen Ping. The surrounding cosmic energy drifted towards him, entering his skin and acupoints, and was absorbed by his ravenous cells. Only when his body reached saturation, and he no longer felt the coolness, did he stop his practice.
Even though his physical fitness was approaching that of a high-level War God, he still maintained his training at home. Though the improvement was far less than that of the Wood Spirit Pills, he knew that every little bit helped.
He went back to the bedroom.
He saw that Li Yuewei was already asleep.
Afraid of waking his wife, he went to the bathroom on the first floor to shower. But as he reached the bathroom door, he bumped into Su Yin. Her hair was wet, and she was only wearing a pink tank top. Her two fair and smooth legs were completely uncovered, and she was holding a cartoon-patterned piece of underwear.
Both of them froze in place.
But soon, Su Yin's beautiful face flushed all the way to her neck, her earlobes burning with embarrassment. She quickly pressed the lingerie she was holding against her chest.
Shen Ping's eyes finally managed to avert themselves. He turned around repeatedly, took a deep breath, and said, "Xiao Yin, you... why aren't you asleep in the middle of the night?"
Su Yin's mind was still blank. She instinctively replied, "Cousin-in-law, I couldn't sleep, so I, I got up to wash..."
She couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence.
Shen Ping glanced at Su Yin, who was lightly dressed, and quickly said, "Go back to your room quickly, be careful not to catch a cold."
Blushing, Su Yin lowered her head and quickly walked towards the room.
Shen Ping closed the bathroom door and shook his head speechlessly. However, the scene from just now lingered in his mind, unable to be shaken off. Even after taking a shower and lying on the bed, the image of Su Yin holding the lingerie flickered in his mind.
Compared to when he first met her.
Su Yin, who was about to enter her third year of university, had indeed matured. She was like a peach emitting a fresh fragrance, difficult to ignore.
The next morning.
While eating breakfast, Shen Ping found an excuse to drive to the company early to avoid the awkwardness at the table. Seeing it once could be considered an accident, but twice… if she took it seriously, it would inevitably make his distant cousin think he had 'ulterior motives'.
Pingwei Materials Company.
Sitting in the office.
Shen Ping spent his time signing documents. As the company expanded, a huge number of affairs needed to be handled. If it weren't for his wife's help, he wouldn't have any free time at all.
"Secretary Lin, you don't need to come to me for approval on financial transfers for material acquisitions anymore."
"Yes, General Manager Shen."
Lin Jing replied and then said, "Zheng Group sent over the attachment for the transfer of the equity shares a little after nine this morning. You still need to sign it. Also, the land deed contract for the villa in Lishui District needs your confirmation…"
While Shen Ping was confirming the documents,
Lin Jing added, "General Manager Shen, I've reviewed the contract. The effective date is before December of this year. There are still quite a few procedural materials missing. Do you think we should urge Zheng Group to send the remaining copies over as soon as possible?"
Shen Ping waved his hand, "No need."
He knew Zheng Group's little scheme. They just wanted to wait until the handover of the mid-level Lord-grade monster materials before sending over all the remaining procedures.
After all, the funds involved in this cooperation exceeded three billion. If you add in that villa, the total funds would be as high as four or five billion. Even for Zheng Group, this was a considerable sum.
"I'll head back to the wilderness area in July."
Buzz, buzz.
The communication watch vibrated.
Secretary Lin Jing knew to leave.
After answering the call.
Shen Ping said with a smile, "Hello, Captain, what's up?"
Qin Shan's voice was low, "Old Shen, come to the Northern Military District supply base."
Shen Ping sensed something was wrong with the captain's mood, and the fact that he was told to go to the supply base suggested something had happened. Without any hesitation, he told his wife and immediately went to the train station fully armed.
At two in the afternoon.
He saw the members of the Raging Wind Squad. Just seeing the injuries on the team members, his face immediately darkened, "Old Tai, your leg…"
Yu Tai's face was ashen, a weak smile playing on his lips. "I'm fine."
Mu Yang, sitting beside him, gritted his teeth. "Brother Shen, it was Fire Fox Squad's captain, Zheng Ji, that bastard, who did this."
Shen Ping turned to the captain. "What exactly happened!"
Qin Shan clenched his fist, slamming it against the wall. "It's my fault, I was careless. Before we came to the wilderness this time, I heard that Zheng Ji went out alone. I didn't think much of it. Who knew that that son of a bitch was watching us the whole time? He attacked when the squad was fighting the monsters. Fortunately, I wasn't far from Yu Tai, and with Qiang's sniper rifle, we managed to stop him. But Lao Tai lost his leg."
Zhou Qiang, meticulously cleaning his sniper rifle, said coldly, "That bastard is still in the wilderness. Lao Shen, you take Lao Tai back to the base city."
Shen Ping immediately understood what the captain and the others were planning. They clearly intended to go back and kill Zheng Ji. "Captain, I'm going with you. Mu Yang, you stay here."
Before Mu Yang could speak, Shen Ping glared at him. "My physical strength is now close to thirty thousand punch force, combined with the third level burst of Ninefold Thunderblade. I'm about as strong as the captain. With me and the captain, plus Qiang's long-range support, we can definitely take that bastard down."
Qin Shan was silent for a moment. Seeing the seriousness in Shen Ping's eyes, he gritted his teeth. "Mu Yang, listen to Lao Shen. If, and I mean if, we fail this time, our families will depend on you."
Mu Yang's eyes immediately turned red, "Captain, I..."
Shen Ping patted his shoulder, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Trust me. Take Old Tai back."
Mu Yang finally nodded.
That evening.
The three of them set off for the wilderness.
Four days later.
They arrived at City 043, found a high-rise building, and quickly went up to the rooftop. Qin Shan pointed at a clock tower in the distance, "It's over there. At that time, a Beast General happened to charge at Old Tai. He used the Beast General to buy me time, allowing me to return. Otherwise, Old Tai would have been finished."
Shen Ping looked at the ruins of the clock tower with binoculars and said in a low voice, "Captain, I estimate that Zheng Ji definitely hasn't left this city. How about this, you and Qiangzi go out and make some noise to attract Zheng Ji. He definitely won't know I'm coming. Once I confirm Zheng Ji's position, we'll take action."
Zhou Qiang nodded, "Old Shen's plan is solid."
The squad leader also nodded in agreement.
So, the three of them rested on the rooftop for a night, recuperating their energy before splitting up the next day.
When Qin Shan and Zhou Qiang made their move, stirring up a commotion and engaging the monsters in battle, Shen Ping activated his Conceptual Body Technique. He moved around the area, his steps light as a feather, drifting like the wind. His eyes were sharp, scanning for any possible hiding spots for Zheng Ji.
One day.
Two days.
Zheng Ji still hadn't shown himself.
It was the third day.
The squad leader and Zhou Qiang had provoked a mid-level Beast General. Zheng Ji showed up.
"Still here, as expected."
A cold glint flashed in Shen Ping's eyes. He shot out from the side like lightning, charging towards Zheng Ji, who was preparing to attack Zhou Qiang. His speed was astonishing. By the time Zheng Ji reacted, Shen Ping was already right in front of him.
Boom.
The combat blade came down directly.
The force, accompanied by a sonic boom, instantly sent Zheng Ji flying. He crashed through several walls in a row. Even though this strike only used the power of a War God, it still shattered Zheng Ji's bones.
"You, you..."
Zheng Ji coughed up blood, his eyes fixed on Shen Ping. He couldn't believe that a member who had withdrawn with a missing arm could be so strong.
Upon hearing the commotion, Captain Qin Shan rushed over. Without any unnecessary words, he finished Zheng Ji off with a single slash.
