Chapter 641: As if Sitting on Pins and Needles

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For an ordinary man who was tightly bound and freefalling from more than ten meters, he would either be dead or badly injured.
However, to a winged cavalry warrior, this was equivalent to tripping when walking.
The very next second, Xu Wei jumped up from the ground as the ropes binding him were broken and fell to the ground. He could easily break these ropes anytime he wished.
However, if he broke them without permission, he knew he would be hung on the flagpole to dry in the air again.
Xu Wei took out a wooden ball from his mouth, spat a few times, and told Ren Baqian ruefully, “Lady boss, I’m hungry.”
He had been up there for one day and one night while hearing people drinking wine and eating meat inside. The cold wind blew across him and the hot sun scorched him, making him even more miserable.
“Get lost and find your own food,” Ren Baqian laughingly scolded him.
Like a rabbit, Xu Wei appeared at the entrance of the villa in a flash, opened the door, and dashed through.
Three seconds later, he was sent crashing through a glass window with a big shoe imprint on his face.
“Call for food delivery!” Ren Baqian threw a phone to him. Then, he turned to Ren Wannian and Zhou Qingyun and said, “Let’s go.”
Zhou Qingyun watched with eyes wide open when that guy jumped up from the ground and couldn’t close her mouth when he appeared magically at the door. She trembled when he crashed through the glass window with a shoe print on his face… What in the world was happening?
Ren Wannian nudged her a few times before she responded.
“Let’s go. Why are you in a daze?”
“Oh, okay.” Zhou Qingyun felt that she must have been distracted when that guy appeared at the entrance in almost no time. As for the rest, such as falling from more than ten meters without injury and how the ropes could just snap apart, she didn’t want to think about it anymore.
With a glazed expression, she followed Ren Wannian into the house.
“Sister-in-law!.” Ren Wannian cried out affectionately upon entering the living room.
The empress looked away from the television and nodded her head slightly as a form of greeting.
Although she seemed cold, Ren Wannian had grown accustomed to her cold personality during her New Year’s visit and didn’t take it seriously. However, he felt somewhat inhibited when seeing the empress. Let alone him, very few people could act freely in front of the empress.
Zhou Qingyun was surprised by the beauty of the lady in red sitting on the sofa. Like the snowy peaks of Kunlun[1.Kunlun – a mountain range in Xinjiang], her temperament was very arrogant and out of this world.
Was she Ren Wannian’s sister-in-law?
Behind the lady in red was a lady wearing a white dress. She wasn’t as pretty or impressive as the lady in red but was still better than the celebrities seen on TV. Zhou Qingyun had no idea who she was.
“Please be seated!” Ren Baqian pointed to the sofa.
“In a moment, I will introduce a few people to you who you can look for if you need help in the future.” Ren Baqian sat beside the empress and casually took some popcorn to pop into his mouth.
.
“Alright!” Ren Wannian nodded conscientiously. Then, he looked at Xin Zhe and asked, “Who is she?”
“A colleague. You don’t have to worry about her.” Ren Baqian waved his hands.
“Big brother, what are these? Are they real?” Ren Wannian suddenly noticed the pile of guns behind the sofa. They ranged from pistols to submachine guns and were also accompanied by grenades, which gave him a shock.
“They are fakes,” Ren Baqian said casually.
Neither of them believed this. The magazines that were scattered on the floor were full of bullets… Not even a fool would think that they were fake!
Zhou Qingyun started to tremble with fear again… She was convinced that she had fallen into a wolf’s den. This was even more dangerous than a wolf’s den, and she wondered whether they would silence her for seeing all these things. At this point, she turned pale and didn’t dare to breathe loud… To avoid being noticed…
Ren Baqian noticed her paleness and knew the reason instantly. These weapons could really frighten ordinary people.
“Do not overthink. You may not know and I will not disclose which department, but I’m a member of a government agency. You wouldn’t find it strange for the police to have guns, and it’s the same case here.” Ren Baqian smiled gently.
Zhou Qingyun finally felt somewhat relieved and managed to force out a smile.
However, the sight of the walls that were riddled with bullet holes and the dried bloodstains that hadn’t been cleaned made her anxious again.
Other people’s moods were like a roller coaster that went up and down. Her mood was like a crashing stock market that plummeted down and then plummeted again with no end in sight.
After that, Ren Baqian called for the winged cavalry warriors to come in. More than ten big hunks stood there with their upper bodies covered in scars, causing Ren Wannian and his girlfriend to feel even more pressure.
Ren Baqian read out the names of the people in the group. Ren Wannian had met some of them before, but he didn’t expect so many of them to be in the villa.
Ren Baqian then told them fiercely, “This is my younger brother, and I will kill anyone who makes him drink wine!”
All the big hunks laughed merrily as they answered, “Yes, lady boss!”
“Get lost!” Ren Baqian ordered with a smile.
In the end, he simply couldn’t stop them from addressing him as “lady boss.”
He had gotten used to it after so many times! He might as well take it as a nickname!
Ren Wannian toured the villa while Ren Baqian was preparing lunch. Except for the supermarket room, everything else was normal. The two were quite surprised—there were many rich people with villas, but this must be the only villa with a supermarket in it.
Zhou Qingyun could only attribute it to the strange habits of rich people.
At noon, the two saw for themselves the horrifying appetite of Ren Baqian, the empress, and Xin Zhe. In the afternoon, Shen Feng, Ding Jie, and two hired martial artist brothers arrived.
Among this pair of martial artist brothers, the older brother was named Liu Chengwen and the younger brother was named Liu Chengwu. They came from the birthplace of martial arts. They had acquired some fame in the martial arts world, but weren’t that outstanding. Ren Baqian considered them to be rather useful and appointed them as nominal consultants after they trained the winged cavalry warriors.
During this period in the villa, although these two were badly frightened by the winged cavalry warriors, they benefited in a huge way. They didn’t need to worry about food and clothing in the future and could also learn some things from the winged cavalry. As a result, they were naturally very happy.
Ren Baqian introduced these people to Ren Wannian to get them acquainted and then made arrangements for the upcoming events.
There was some drama when Ren Wannian mistook Shen Feng for a man and even called her Brother Shen, which upset her. Although she always wore neutral clothing, she disliked being mistaken for a man, especially after she had been slammed against the wall by a winged cavalry warrior and realized that being female had its advantages.
“Lady boss, why don’t you deal with these guns? Leaving them here is a waste and could easily cause trouble,” Shen Feng commented before leaving.
“Look for a room and chuck all these things inside. I don’t think anybody will come and check,” Ren Baqian said nonchalantly.
Not to mention that he and the nation were currently in the honeymoon period, it was impossible for the nation to take action here even if they turned hostile. The firepower provided by the Messier 87 department was enough to blow up a small city.
“Get people to check whether there are any broken skulls around. If the housekeepers were to find these things, they will be frightened. You are too cruel! I heard that the heads of some of the deceased have injuries similar to car accident victims.” Looking disgusted, Shen Feng bent down and put her fingers between the cracks in the cabinets to retrieve a fingernail-sized piece of bone that still had flesh and hair attached.
Ren Wannian and Zhou Qingyun stiffened with fear and started sweating profusely while trembling…
“Boss, I will take my leave!” Shen Feng threw the skull shard on the shoe rack at the side and walked out of the door with a smile.
Frightening these two was a form of revenge that made her happier.
It made Shen Feng happier, but those two became more miserable. They didn’t want to believe it, but with the combination of guns, walls full of bullet holes, and bloodstains, it was impossible to convince themselves that these weren’t real.
“Big brother…” Ren Wannian was in a cold sweat.
“She’s teasing you. This is from the skull of a cow!” Ren Baqian didn’t change his expression despite the piece of flesh having blonde hair on it.
As long as he believed, it didn’t matter whether those two believed.
Over the next two days, Ren Baqian was busy with matters regarding the martial arts center and didn’t know that Ren Wannian had an argument with his girlfriend that very day.
The main reason for their dispute was regarding whether Ren Wannian should continue working here.
Even though Ren Baqian claimed to be working for a government agency, the sight of those brawny men that looked like thugs, the weapons in the house, and that piece of skull with attached hair caused Zhou Qingyun to be deeply disturbed.
Ren Baqian didn’t know this, but even if he did, he wouldn’t have bothered. After dealing with issues regarding the martial arts center, he returned to Dayao and immersed himself in affairs that concerned the school and the Department of Commerce.
