Chapter 695: When Did He Start Looking So Terrifying?
After they finished dinner, Lu Jingye still had business to deal with. Zi Yi grabbed a tablet and sat on the sofa next to him.
Sometime later, Zi Yi said to him, “When the incident happened today on both our sides, Shadow III photographed this in Rick’s room.”
Zi Yi showed Lu Jingye the tablet as she said that.
Lu Jingye placed the laptop that was resting on his legs to one side and took the tablet from her hands.
“I only got Shadow III to monitor Rick. He detected danger in Rick’s room at that time and used a detector to check the area.”
What appeared on the screen was a black flame.
This was a symbol Zi Yi set to reflect dangerous species.
“This is the person from the Worm Race you mentioned?”
“It’s highly likely.”
Lu Jingye slightly narrowed his eyes and soon, the cold glint in his eyes disappeared. “I’ll get my men to take a look.”

Zi Yi pulled his hand and said, “No need, Shadow III has been tracking it. Let me see where that thing is right now.”
She took the tablet back from him and continued swiping for a while.
Sometime later, she furrowed her brows. “The Worm Race has already occupied a human’s body. Shadow III is unable to detect it… I’ll head over and take a look later personally.”
Lu Jingye furrowed his brows. He did not want her to head somewhere so dangerous.
However, it would be a great hidden danger if they did not take care of it. In the end, he said, “I’ll go with you.”
Zi Yi thought about it and nodded her head.
…
Rick and Dan Wei were living in a villa located in a district in City A where the wealthy stayed at. It was around an hour’s drive away from Lu Jingye’s place of residence.
The atmosphere inside the villa today was not too good. Ever since Ye Li’er returned from A.Uni, she had been keeping herself locked in her room and crying.
Dan Wei had stood outside her door and asked her in a gentle tone about what had happened.
Ye Li’er only said, “Brother, leave me alone.”
After asking for a long time, Ye Li’er refused to mention anything and he got somewhat annoyed.
Rick, who was standing next to him, reminded him. “Zi Yi was invited to A.Uni today and you can directly check with people there as to what happened.”
Dan Wei nodded his head with a taut expression. He took out his phone and dialed the number of one of the higher-ups of A.Uni.
After he heard what happened in school, Dan Wei said in a heavy voice, “Alright, I understand.”
He hung up the phone afterwards.
“What happened?”
Dan Wei’s eyes were spitting out fire as he gnashed his teeth in anger. “Lu Jingye’s woman dared to make things difficult for Ye Li’er in front of such a huge crowd!”
Rick looked at Dan Wei’s expression and he revealed an unpredictable expression. “Since that’s the case, you should find a way to help Ye Li’er get back her dignity. Zi Yi is only a student from the capital and even if she is married to Lu Jingye, Patriarch Lu has never recognized her as a member of the family. Ye Li’er has a status equivalent to a princess in Country Em and it’s easy to help her regain her dignity.”
“What should I do?”
Rick smiled. His smile was a little crazy. “Secretly send someone to A.Uni and do something in private then push the blame on that woman.”
Dan Wei furrowed his brows. He subconsciously felt that this would not work out. “Even though that woman has no power or authority, Lu Jingye is not easy to deal with.”
“That’s because you were not ruthless enough. They are in your territory and there are plenty of ways to make him lose everything.”
Dan Wei looked at Rick and felt that Rick was behaving strangely tonight.
He knew that Rick had always wanted to let Lu Jingye lose everything. However, at that very moment, Rick clearly had a murderous expression on his face.
Dan Wei finally raised the doubts he had deep down. “Rick, I’ve been confused about something. Weren’t you and Lu Jingye originally cla.s.smates? I heard that you two had a close relations.h.i.+p in the past so why are you doing this right now?”
“Because I hate him and I wish to send him to the depths of h.e.l.l.” Rick’s expression was hidden by the shadows in the room and he was also radiating a powerful killing intent, which made him look terrifying.
“Hate? Why do you hate him?”
“He made me lose the most important thing of my life. Why wouldn’t I hate him?”
When Rick mentioned that, there was a strong grief in his tone and Dan Wei was even more confused.
He suddenly had a thought in his mind, “Could it be that Lu Jingye killed his lover?”
Rick realized that he had lost control of his emotions and said, “Alright, enough about me. I was only raising a suggestion. You can deal with Lu Jingye in whatever way you like. I’m going to take a rest.”
He turned around and returned to his room.
Dan Wei looked at Rick’s silhouette, which disappeared in the shadows and he muttered, “When did he start to look so terrifying?”
He was so terrifying that his heart skipped a beat earlier.
After Rick returned to his own bedroom, he closed the door. He then walked to the luggage placed next to his bed and opened it. He took out a bottle of medicinal pills and ate one pill.
After he ate the medicine, he turned around and spoke to the air. “I have something to discuss with you.”
The s.p.a.ce in front of him became distorted and subsequently, the black-cloaked man walked out.
Rick had never once seen what the black-cloaked man looked like.
However, he was not interested to know either.
He looked at the black-cloaked man and said, “I’ve changed my mind. I wish to let Lu Jingye’s woman die.”
The black-cloaked man’s ice-cold mechanical voice sounded a few seconds later. “I am unable to deal with her.”
“Why not?!” Rick said with disbelief and raised his voice. “Aren’t you the most powerful person on Earth? Why can’t you deal with her?”
“Because…”
As soon as the black-cloaked man said that, a powerful black aura suddenly filled his surroundings. Sometime later, he said with a terrified tone of voice, “I finally know who that woman is.”
“Who is she?” Rick asked.
“She’s…”
“Someone who will be sending you back to where you belong.”
After a crisp voice sounded, the door slammed open, while Zi Yi and Lu Jingye entered together.
“How did the two of you enter?”
When Rick was questioning them, Zi Yi quickly threw out two circular b.a.l.l.s from her hands.
When the black-cloaked man saw Zi Yi, he quickly radiated a powerful black gas. A thick, dark-green liquid flowed out from his body and soon reached the floor.
The moment the liquid came into contact with the floor, it was immediately corroded.
“Ugh…” Zi Yi looked at the liquid with a disgusted expression. “Sure enough, the worms of the Worm Race are the most disgusting creatures.”
She snapped her fingers in the air and Little Loli immediately appeared out of thin air. At the same time, she opened a bottle cap and poured it on the black-cloaked man.
“Urgh…”
The moment the transparent liquid came into contact with the black-cloaked man, he started trembling. Not long later, the person inside the black cloak seemed to have disappeared as half a meter-long worm fell to the ground.
Looking at the worm that was slowly melting away as it struggled on the ground, Zi Yi suddenly felt sick.
She quickly turned and ran towards the door.
When she ran outside, she threw up.
“Uegh…”
The sounds of Lu Jingye and Rick fighting could be heard from inside.
Zi Yi crouched there and vomited for some time. She then heard Rick’s panting and him saying with a determined voice, “Lu Jingye, if you dare to kill me, my grandfather will immediately receive news of it. What do you think will happen to you then? Hahaha…”
