My Sexy CEO Wife

Chapter 290 - 289 All Related to You

Ever since the Comprehension Pill was stolen, Jin Chaoyang and Zhao Guang had been seething with unparalleled anger. With resentment building inside and nowhere to vent, they had to suppress it.

Today... their anger erupted! The pent-up rage inside their hearts was unleashed entirely upon each other!

You insult me, and I retort with two, you curse my mother, and I curse your father, you wish me a miserable death, and I damn you to die without a place to be buried!

The insults grew louder and their anger more intense!

In the end, they couldn't restrain themselves from coming to blows, and of course, Zhao Guang lost, winding up beaten black and blue by Jin Chaoyang.

"Jin Chaoyang! I'm cutting ties with you! From today on, you go your sunny path, and I'll cross my single-log bridge; let's not bother with each other!" With those harsh words, Zhao Guang left in a huff.

"Get lost! Get far away from me! If I ever bother with you again in this lifetime, consider me raised by you!" Jin Chaoyang bellowed.

Just like that, a pair of good friends had fallen out!

"Bang!"

Jin Chaoyang kicked over a table, then sent chairs flying: "I'm so angry! Truly infuriated!!!"

"Elder Jin..." A disciple walked in from the outside.

"Who let you in! Get out!" roared Jin Chaoyang.

"...I... I have an urgent matter to report..." The disciple stuttered, "It's about the Comprehension Pill..."

Hearing the words "Comprehension Pill," Jin Chaoyang's eyes suddenly widened: "Speak!"

"Well, the day the Comprehension Pill was stolen, I personally saw Elder Jin coming down from Repentance Cliff..." The disciple cautiously said.

"Eh?" Jin Chaoyang raised an eyebrow: "What did you say? Me coming down from Repentance Cliff?"

"Yes! I saw it clearly, and I even greeted you." The disciple nodded affirmatively: "Not only did I see you, but several other disciples did as well."

Jin Chaoyang took a step forward, his tone icy: "Tell me everything from beginning to end! Don't leave out a single detail!"

"That day... in the afternoon, I saw you, Elder Jin, descending from Repentance Cliff, and I along with a few other disciples came up to greet you... Not long after, you came back, hurrying up Repentance Cliff... and then you never came down..." The disciple recounted the events in detail.

"Repentance Cliff..." A murderous aura burst forth from Jin Chaoyang: "I didn't go to Repentance Cliff at all that day... What you saw... was an impostor!"

"Ah?" The disciple was stunned.

"This time, you have done a meritorious deed; this is your reward." Jin Chaoyang took out a bunch of Spirit Stones from his Storage Bag and awarded them to the disciple.

"Thank you, Elder Jin, thank you, Elder Jin." The disciple was overjoyed.

...

Repentance Cliff.

Gao Fei sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on his cultivation, when suddenly, he sensed a disturbing killing intent. He hurriedly opened his eyes and looked behind him, only to see a man approaching from a distance, who upon closer inspection, turned out to be Jin Chaoyang.

A frown crossed Gao Fei's brow as he mused inwardly: What's he doing here? He doesn't seem to come with good intentions! Could it be that the theft of the Comprehension Pill has been exposed? But that shouldn't be possible; I was very covert, nobody should have discovered that, right?

"Gao Fei." When Jin Chaoyang was three meters away from Gao Fei, he stopped: "You've got some nerve, daring to steal the Comprehension Pill! It seems you no longer wish to live!"

Gao Fei's heart skipped a beat! How did Jin Chaoyang find out? Where did I slip up? Although surprised inwardly, his face showed no sign of it, as Gao Fei slightly furrowed his brow: "Elder Jin, what do you mean by this? When did I steal the Comprehension Pill? You must not wrong me!"

"Still so defiant when death is at hand!" gritted Jin Chaoyang through his teeth.

"Elder Jin! You keep saying I stole the Comprehension Pill, but do you have any proof?" Gao Fei maintained his composure.

"You want proof? Fine, I'll give you proof!" scoffed Jin Chaoyang: "The day the Comprehension Pill was stolen, disciples saw with their own eyes... someone who looked just like me descending from Repentance Cliff, not long after, this person who looked like me returned to Repentance Cliff... and never came down again...

As far as I know, you're the only one who has been at Repentance Cliff these days, right? That means the impostor is you!!!"

"That happened? I'm completely unaware!" Gao Fei feigned bewilderment.

"Enough with the act!" snorted Jin Chaoyang: "If you dare to do it, you must dare to admit it!"

"What are you talking about? I've done nothing of the sort!"

"If not you, then who?"

"How would I know? I'm puzzled too! The day the Comprehension Pill was stolen, I never went down the mountain!"

"If you never went down the mountain, how could you know about the theft of the Comprehension Pill?"

"A friend came to visit me a few days ago, that's how I heard about it."

"What friend?"

"Zhu Xiaoliang, a disciple from the storage room. We entered the sect on the same day; we're close. If you don't believe me, you can ask him!" Gao Fei had his story ready. Indeed, three days ago, Zhu Xiaoliang had visited but didn't stay long before leaving.

"Gao Fei! I'm giving you a chance to live, hand over the Comprehension Pill willingly, and I'll spare your life!" Jin Chaoyang was convinced it was Gao Fei's doing.

"I've already inquired clearly... The person who stole the Comprehension Pill is in the Great Perfection Realm of the Golden Core Stage, I'm merely at the Eighth Layer of the Inedia Stage... There's a big difference... how could it be me?" Gao Fei argued.

"Uh..." Jin Chaoyang was at a loss for words.

"Elder Jin, I know you're anxious, but you can't frame me, can you?" said Gao Fei with a wry smile.

Jin Chaoyang furrowed his brow.

"I'll say it again, seriously! It wasn't me! Definitely not me!" Gao Fei stated emphatically, "If you don't believe me, I can swear on it!" As he spoke, Gao Fei made a show of taking an oath.

Jin Chaoyang stared at Gao Fei with icy eyes, remaining silent.

No matter what, Gao Fei was the prime suspect!

After a moment of silence, Jin Chaoyang finally said, "You have an accomplice! Tell me, who is it?"

"Accomplice... What accomplice... There isn't any accomplice..." Gao Fei replied irritably, "You've got the wrong man! Really, the wrong man! I have nothing to do with this affair!"

"Come here, I want to search you!" Jin Chaoyang demanded.

"Search me?" Gao Fei's face drained of color, "On what grounds?"

"Afraid to let me search you? Feeling guilty?"

"I cannot allow a search!" Gao Fei shook his head, "I have dignity! You can't just search me whenever you want!"

Jin Chaoyang advanced towards Gao Fei, "Do you think you can stop me if I want to search you?"

"You..." Gao Fei kept backing away, his complexion turning a ghastly shade from anger. He had many secrets he couldn't let Jin Chaoyang discover. Just when Gao Fei was prepared to fight back at all costs, a turn of events occurred.

"Jin Chaoyang, what are you doing!" At a critical moment, Sect Leader Song Qingfeng made his appearance.

Jin Chaoyang halted and turned around to face Song Qingfeng with an expressionless face, "I've found the thief who stole the Comprehension Pill! It's Gao Fei!"

"You're spouting nonsense!" Gao Fei shouted, "Slander and framing me!" With Song Qingfeng present, Gao Fei felt emboldened, his voice grew louder, knowing that Jin Chaoyang wouldn't be able to harm him with the Sect Leader around.

Song Qingfeng's expression darkened, "Evidence? Do you have any evidence?"

"Of course, there's evidence!" Jin Chaoyang stated assertively, "On the day the Comprehension Pill was stolen, disciples saw... saw someone very similar to me coming down from Repentance Cliff..." Jin Chaoyang repeated what he had said earlier.

Song Qingfeng's lips twitched slightly, "Based solely on this, you concluded it was Gao Fei? Isn't that rather arbitrary?"

"Gao Fei was the only person on Repentance Cliff, if not him then who?" Jin Chaoyang glared as he shouted.

"Repentance Cliff is so vast? It's easy to hide a person there!" Song Qingfeng asserted, "Probably someone wants to frame Gao Fei..."

"Regardless! Gao Fei is the main suspect! I am going to search him now! To see if he has the Comprehension Pill on him!"

"No! You can't search Gao Fei without solid evidence!"

"You..."

"Jin Chaoyang, look at yourself now! You're acting like a madman! Speaking and acting wildly!"

"I..."

"Don't test my patience! If you really provoke me, you'll suffer the consequences."

...

What a good man!

In his heart, Gao Fei commended, Song Qingfeng is such a great guy, always protecting me! Indeed, I will find an opportunity to repay Song Qingfeng in the future!

Gao Fei was someone who clearly distinguished gratitude and grudges, repaying kindness tenfold or a hundredfold, and seeking revenge against those who wronged him a thousandfold or ten thousandfold!

To repay kindness with kindness, and hold grudges for grievances! Decisive in action, never dithering!

That was Gao Fei!

"Gao Fei is a once-in-a-millennium cultivation genius! His future achievements are boundless. The prosperity of Tianyang Sect will depend on him! We should all protect him well and help him grow, watching him climb to the peak step by step," Song Qingfeng enunciated each word, "As long as I live, no one shall harm him!"

Jin Chaoyang trembled, his expression turning ferocious, and those familiar with him knew this was a sign he was at his breaking point, ready to explode at any moment.

"Jin Chaoyang, what are you still doing here! Get out of here now!" Song Qingfeng didn't show any mercy, "Listen to me, from now on, you are to stop bothering Gao Fei. This is an order from the Sect Leader, defy it and you face the penalty of our sect's rules."

Using the authority of Sect Leader to pressure me! Fine, you've got guts! Just you wait! Sooner or later, I will make you kneel before me, begging for mercy! With an angry stomp, Jin Chaoyang left full of resentment.

"Sect Leader, you arrived just in time," Gao Fei stepped forward to express his gratitude, "You didn't see it, Jin Chaoyang was too fierce, abusing his higher cultivation to bully me, he was really too much. Once my cultivation improves, I will certainly teach him a harsh lesson."

"Gao Fei," Song Qingfeng stared into Gao Fei's eyes and asked, "Tell me the truth, does the theft of the Comprehension Pill have anything to do with you?"

"No!" Gao Fei shook his head vigorously.

"Truly nothing?"

"Absolutely unrelated! Sect Leader, even you doubt me?"

"..." Song Qingfeng pursed his lips, "Since you've joined Tianyang Sect, one trouble follows another... and the most peculiar thing is... all of them are related to you..."

"Coincidence! Absolutely a coincidence!" Gao Fei argued righteously, "Actually, I'm also upset. Who have I offended? Why do all problems head my way!"

"Gao Fei, you might be a cultivation genius, but you... are also a trouble magnet," Song Qingfeng sighed, "In the future, try to restrain yourself and not give me a difficult time, alright?"
