Chapter 8: Sudden Trigger

The girl's wrist instantly lost strength, and the dagger slipped from her little finger.

Chu Yi, lightning-fast, firmly grasped the dagger in his own hand, seizing the initiative and directing the blade toward the girl's neck.

Clearly, the blade had pierced the skin on her neck, and blood gushed out. At that moment, Han Likuo immediately rushed forward, "Enough, enough, Chu Yi, this was just a test I gave you; put down the knife now."

Chu Yi was stunned, watching as Han Likuo tore a piece of gold foil from his own neck, completely dumbfounded.

The dagger in Chu Yi's hand fell to the floor, already stained with blood.

The beauty who had been brandishing the dagger just moments before suddenly went limp; Chu Yi quickly stepped forward to support her, lifting her up and placing her in a chair.

This figure, this appearance, today he had really taken advantage... Chu Yi thought to himself.

"Chu Yi, don't blame me, this was also for the safety of my daughter," Han Likuo said.

Chu Yi rubbed the back of his head in silence, "It's okay, I understand, Uncle Han."

"Since that's the case, I'll entrust my daughter's safety to you from now on. If you've made up your mind, give me a call when you get back."

As soon as Chu Yi had left the office, Han Likuo sat down and asked, "Shengnan, Sheng Jun, how do you find his skills?"

The two beauties seemed a bit embarrassed, "Hmm... His skills are indeed good; we haven't met such a strong opponent in a long time, but... if we were to fight seriously, we could definitely take him down!"

Han Guoli smiled and said nothing more.

"By the way, Chairman, it looked like he got hurt when he snatched the dagger just now," the girl who had been scared limp regained her composure.

"Hmm? Then you should hurry after him and take him to get bandaged up right away."

Yue Yao then rushed out.

At this very moment, Chu Yi was in the elevator, where he pressed a few acupoints on his wrist and, amazingly, the bleeding stopped.

Having nothing to bandage the wound with, he could only use a shirt from his bundle. Chu Yi tore the shirt he had worn coming down the mountain into strips and wrapped them around the injury.

"Ah, what a hassle, what a hassle, I'll never barehand catch a blade again!" Chu Yi muttered to himself.

Right at that moment, the Jade Pendant wrapped in his shirt clinked as it fell out.

Chu Yi remembered it was what his master had entrusted to him when he descended the mountain; it was left to him by his mother and must not be lost, so he hurriedly scrambled to pick it up.

The moment the remaining blood on his hand touched the Jade Pendant, Chu Yi felt as if electricity had surged through him, numbing his entire being.

"Heavenly Ear Technique, Heavenly Vision, Heart Connection, Fate Revelation, Divine Territory Revelation, Complete Leak Revelation..."

"Heavenly Vision: Clairvoyance, Inner Inspection, Micro Inspection, Remote Inspection..."

"Clairvoyant Eye, activate!"

In an instant, Chu Yi's brain was flooded with countless pieces of information, and in this dizziness, he couldn't distinguish reality from imagination.

By the time he returned to his senses, it was as if he had been dreaming, and he had forgotten most of it.

"What... what happened to me?" Chu Yi, leaning against the elevator, felt dazed; this feeling was like... even more bewildering than seeing his master walking on treetops.

Could it be that he had activated the Clairvoyance? Chu Yi pondered.

Just then, the elevator door opened, and Chu Yi prepared to leave the building.

However, at that moment, Yue Yao was standing at the elevator door, looking at him in surprise, "Mr. Chu, why are you back again?"

Chu Yi was also taken aback, I got to the first floor, didn't I? How come I'm back here again?

Chu Yi instinctively clenched the Jade Pendant in his hand, but the initial refreshing feeling had completely vanished.

"Mr. Chu, are you feeling unwell?"

Chu Yi shook his head, absentmindedly replying, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'll just press the elevator button again."

But what had just happened was definitely not an illusion; he had clearly pressed for the first floor of the elevator, which was totally bizarre.

Could he really possess clairvoyance? Was all of this real?

Chu Yi was skeptical about the ability he had suddenly acquired, so he turned his back.

"Clairvoyance, activate!"

No sooner had he spoken than a cool breeze seemed to blow directly onto Chu Yi's forehead, and in an instant, everything in front of him changed.

Nothing could escape his gaze, everything was visible clear as day—the steel cables above the elevator car, the white-collar workers waiting outside the elevator.

"Mr. Chu, it seemed like you hurt your hand just now. Shall I go with you to get it bandaged?" Yue Yao asked.

Chu Yi subconsciously looked at Yue Yao, staring unblinkingly at her chest.

"They're so big..."

"Mr. Chu?" Yue Yao called him again.

Yue Yao noticed that Chu Yi's gaze had not left her chest, and upon reflecting on his words, she felt something was amiss. Consequently, her face turned bright red in an instant.

"Mr. Chu, please conduct yourself with decorum!" Yue Yao articulated each word clearly.

Chu Yi then realized that he indeed had been somewhat presumptuous, but who could resist being affected by such a figure?

"Sorry about that, I couldn't help myself."

Yue Yao felt utterly wronged—how could a simple day at work lead to nearly losing her life and being taken advantage of?

Yet, thinking of Chairman Han and her hard-earned job, Yue Yao managed to calm down and said solemnly, "Mr. Chu Yi, is your hand alright?"

Only then did Chu Yi remember his injured hand and looked down at it.

"It's fine, just skin and muscle lacerations, a few capillaries severed, and it's 0.7 centimeters from the bone..."

Yue Yao was taken aback, "Mr. Chu, that's... that's very precise."

Chu Yi also scratched his head and laughed. This clairvoyance was indeed quite something.

Ding dong...

The elevator stopped at the second floor and Yue Yao politely said, "Mr. Chu, your wound looks quite dangerous. Let's go to the medical room to have it bandaged. It won't take too much of your time."

Hearing Yue Yao say this, Chu Yi agreed.

Chu Yi couldn't help but admire the size of Han Corporation's medical room, which was comparable to a hospital itself.

Following Yue Yao, Chu Yi entered the consultation room.

"Sister Wen, a colleague from our department accidentally cut his hand with a knife. Could you bandage it up for him?"

Then, a slender-waisted beauty in a white lab coat came in, "Yue Yao, long time no see. What have you been up to lately?"

The two exchanged playful banter, completely forgetting Chu Yi was still there.

"Ah, sorry Mr. Chu, come, let's clean your wound right away."

Chu Yi looked disdainful, thinking to himself, "Heh, by the time you finish bandaging me up, my wound will have already healed."

However, the doctor was quite interesting,

Underneath her white lab coat, she wore a black mesh crop top and a pair of denim shorts.
