The vampire heiress is two-faced

pat!

"who!"

...

"Hey, don't be nervous!"

It's me, your brother.

Yin Shang clearly recognized the familiar voice. He summoned holy light in his palm, forming a candle-like light source. This light, enough to illuminate the bridge arch, finally revealed the figure of the person in question.

His black hair was streaked with a few strands of gray, but his energy and spirit remained undiminished; even in a suit, his strong and tall physique was still evident.

Yin Shang stared at the suit and instinctively felt nauseous.

"Ugh. What the hell?" Yin Shang said.

"That badge on your chest—you bastard surnamed Che, how much did you pay to get this fancy-looking outfit from the Spier Group?"

...

"It didn't cost a penny, because it was a perk the group gave to senior executives." The man laughed heartily.

"High-ranking executive... Ha, long time no see. You've really done well, much better than me, a down-on-my-luck knight. What, you actually knew where I was and even came all this way to find me... What mission did the corporation give you, its dog?"

The man laughed and said, "Brother, there's no need to be so harsh. I am indeed here on orders from the company, but I didn't tell the company when I came to see you this time."

He paused.

"Seeing your ashen face and miserable state, the young master, out of consideration for our past relationship, will have to invite you back for treatment. Of course, if you refuse now, we're brothers, and we certainly won't reveal your whereabouts to the young master, hahaha, don't worry."

...

Yin Shang's facial muscles twitched for a moment. The man's words had undoubtedly hit a nerve. He held the Sword of Hesitation to his chest and struck it with a dull thud on the muddy ground.

"What bullshit about receiving treatment?"

“Listen to me, you’re driving through dust.”

Yin Shang read it out word by word.

"Because I was cursed, and I suppressed the erosion of the curse by harmonizing with the energy of the sacred artifact, I formed a stable and special physical state. This inhuman and ghostly appearance is undoubtedly of great research value to the Spiel Group."

He sneered.

"That second young master has maintained a consistent tone in his statements to outsiders, so why would he be willing to risk all the risks of my return to take me back for 'treatment'? His reason for wanting me back now is very clear—"

Yin Shang blinked and shaped his "black pupils." They were the colored contact lenses he always wore.

He raised his head again, his eyes appearing a clear, deep blue in the candlelight.

"That cold-blooded beast Capilson just wants to dismember his own brother on the operating table!"

Chapter 34 Old Acquaintances and New Friends

“Old Che, we’ve known each other for a while now, so there’s no need to repeat ourselves,” Yin Shang said.

"Hahaha--"

The burly man known as "Car Dust Roller" laughed heartily again; he knew what kind of stubborn boy this was.

"Okay, I respect my brother's opinion. But the president asked me to bring you back, we can't go back empty-handed to report to him, can we?"

Yin Shang cautiously placed his hand on the Sword of Hesitation:

"Hey old car, wanna fight? Don't think I'm still the same guy I was when I first graduated, barely able to stand up even when I kicked him."

"That won't happen."

Che Nianchen walked over without any hesitation and sat down on the stone steps next to Yin Shang.

"Come here." He turned his head to the side.

Yin Shang hesitated for a moment, but out of trust for his old friend, he sat down next to him.

He took out a few cigarettes and handed them to Yin Shang: "Want one?"

"No need," Yin Shang said, pushing the offer back.

"Ha, after all these years you still haven't learned to smoke."

"Speak your mind," Yin Shang said.

Che Nianchen laughed and said, "Besides, your personality hasn't changed at all."

He lit his cigarette and then spoke:

"Then please tell me, Brother Yin, why you have such a strong prejudice against the CEO. I've heard you mention before that you and he are brothers, but I still don't understand..."

The car kicked up dust and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Is he hiding something, or are you hiding something?"

"From the public's perspective, the Spyder family's eldest son died twelve years ago, meaning they wish you were dead. Brother, if what you're saying is true—why did you and the Spyder family break off relations?"

Yin Shang sighed deeply, stood up, and said:

"Knowing this won't do you any good, old man. It's my past that I've buried, but my brother thinks I haven't 'buried' it properly because I'm still alive and can still speak. He thinks I'll reveal these secrets that I didn't take with me to the grave at any time, so he's trying to eliminate me. Telling you these things will only affect your career at the Spiel Group. There are some things in life that you shouldn't know."

Che Nianchen said, "But buddy, you know the president has been watching you for a long time. It's because you've dealt with the group so many times that they know you've been corrupted. Even so, the president hasn't told the church about your infection. In my opinion, it's because he doesn't want the family's image to be ruined, because he still considers you a member of the family."

Yin Shang couldn't help but slap his thigh and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha—Old Che, you big idiot, you're still so naive. It's no wonder you became a high-ranking official."

Yin Shang wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of his eyes and said:

"I know my brother's thoughts all too well. He just doesn't want the world, the church, to know my identity as an 'infected person' and the so-called 'young master,' because that would mean he'd lose his legitimacy to inherit the group and face some unfounded accusations. He lets me, Yin Shang, operate outside, and I frequently sabotage the Spier Group's plans, destroying their bases and warehouses across the country... In Capilison's eyes..."

In the eyes of the group, I am nothing more than a thorn in their side, a ghost that should have died long ago, and an experimental subject that can create value for the corporation.

He ripped the necklace off his neck and threw it into the dust from the car.

“Take it back to your boss. If he has any conscience, he’ll stop bothering me when he sees this necklace. Tell him I have absolutely no interest in his lousy company.”

“Tell him again that I, Yin Shang, can be anything, but I am definitely not Kapilisson’s ‘brother’.”

...

"..."

Cart ran over the dust and threw the necklace back.

Snapped!

Yin Shang caught it and glanced sideways, saying:

"What do you mean, Old Che? Didn't you want to take something back to report?"

The burly man stood up, exhaled his cigarette, and stomped it out.

"Brother, if we just take back a pendant like this... I'm afraid it won't convince the boss. I take back what I said before, let's have a fight instead."

He stretched his muscles and bones, his joints cracking.

"Let's stick to the old rules. If I win, you'll come back with me obediently. If I lose... I can at least give the president an explanation for my injuries."

Yin Shang laughed and said, "When in doubt, you just fight, right? Your muscle brain hasn't improved at all over the years."

Che Nianchen laughed back, "So how much have you improved, brother?"

Yin Shang realized what Che Nianchen was talking about, so he threw the Sword of Hesitation aside.

"To be fair, I'll fight you empty-handed."

He took a horse stance, raised his hands in a fighting posture, and unleashed a gust of wind in the air.

"Hey big oaf, don't mistake me for a knight who only knows how to wield a sword. Being a church knight isn't just about relying on weapons to slay demons."

Yin Shang was wearing a loose-fitting jacket, so he didn't need to take it off. Che Nianchen, on the other hand, took off his suit jacket.

In terms of the boxing techniques he is skilled in, he needs to make his upper body as flexible as possible in order to unleash his full potential.

The two men, swords drawn, slowly approached each other.

"Come!"

Che Nianchen shouted loudly, about to launch the first attack, when he suddenly noticed a strange wind.

...

"What's going on?"

call--!

He looked up and saw a figure suddenly leap down from the ceiling of the bridge arch, which was nearly ten meters high.

Its bright red pupils were clearly visible under the dim bridge arch.

Bang!

"Drink!!"

The car kicked up dust and let out a startled roar.

The kick was blocked by Che Nianchen with his wrists crossed, and the impact forced him to do two backflips before he could stand still.

"What, a vampire?"

As Che Nianchen looked closely, he saw a girl about 1.67 meters tall, dressed in ordinary girl's clothes, blocking his way and protecting Yin Shang behind her.

Yin Shangyi was stunned for a few seconds before realizing who she was:

"Miss Coco?! What happened to you—"

He looked him up and down a few times.

"You look like a completely different person when you're not wearing a maid outfit?"

She snorted and turned around:

"Stop talking nonsense. I was about to ask you what you were doing, fighting with the group's thugs? This guy looks extremely dangerous, I can't just watch our one and only partner lose his life here."

Yin Shang sighed, "What's going on? When did you get here?"

“I’ve been secretly watching from nearby ever since you screamed under the bridge,” she said coldly.

Yin Shang tried to pull her away: "This guy and I are just dealing with things in our private way, Miss Maid, please move aside."

"No way!" Ruo Keke said, hands on her hips.

She pointed to the dust piled up on the car that had been left to sit to the side.

"Can't you see the difference in strength between you and him?"

She then crossed her arms and said.

"Hmph, that's true, humans with dulled senses really can't detect it."

Che Nianchen watched the two bicker for a while and interrupted with a smile:

"Okay, okay"

"I think I know what's going on, bro. So you're working with vampires?"

Yin Shang said, "Old Che, no—"

Che Nianchen waved his hand and said, "Alright, Ah Yin, it's nothing, I don't care about the details. Anyway, I won't tell the boss about this when I get back."

He resumed his fighting stance.

"I don't care who I fight, as long as they can beat me to a pulp, I'll just walk away. I just want to have a fight, come on, let me have some fun."

Yin Shang wanted to step forward again, but Ruo Keke stopped him.

"Step aside, human. This is a favor I owe you. But mainly it's the aura emanating from this guy that really bothers me."

She sniffed, looking disgusted.

"It doesn't smell like a human."

...

Yin Shang, standing to the side, was completely bewildered. It was clearly a good thing that someone had come to help him, but he felt like he had already stepped onto a pirate ship with one foot in the sand.

"Old Che, I believed your nonsense. You'd better keep your mouth shut, or I'm definitely going to be in big trouble. The church and the corporation are already troublesome enough. I really don't want to be targeted by the Bloodthirsty Ones."
