I Am Born With A Silver Spoon
Chapter 550 Separation

"Qin Ya, I'll deem your silence as your acknowledgement. From tomorrow onward, I am going to pursue Chen Xuan!" said Shen Mengxue. "Hmm!" Qin Ya replied in a soft voice.

The man she loved was Chen Hao. Even though Chen Xuan and Chen Hao looked almost the same, that didn't change anything.

After all, he was not Chen Hao.

Since Mengxue is interested in him, she has the right to pursue her own happiness. Qin Ya, you should not be so selfish! Deep down inside, Qin Ya kept on reminding herself.

As both of their minds were occupied, they couldn't sleep for the entire night.

The next morning.

"Chen Xuan, are you thirsty? I have some water now, here you go!"

Everyone was done packing their luggage and getting ready to leave.

Chen Hao cast a sideway glance at Qin Ya.

He noticed that Qin Ya was secretly staring at him.

At that moment, he responded to Shen Mengxue with a gentle smile and said, "I do feel somewhat thirsty!"

"Hehe, take a gulp then. Last night, you gave your everything in rescuing and protecting us. After that, you did not even rest at all. You should drink more water!" said Shen Mengxue with a smile. After taking a sip, Chen Hao asked, "Why does this water taste sweet?"

"Ah? It tastes sweet? How could it be?" Shen Mengxue was shocked. It took her awhile before realizing she was being fooled.

Redness flashed across her pretty face. "You are so annoying, Chen Xuan! You tricked me!"

Both of them were fooling around with each other.

Standing by the sides, Qin Ya could not help feeling tension rising in her palms.

Her expression started to look stiff.

Indeed, all the while, she thought she was the one Chen Xuan preferred. However, it was possible that Mengxue and Chen Xuan could turn out to be a perfect couple. Just look at them, they're having so much fun with each other!

Throughout the whole journey, Chen Hao constantly chatted with Shen Mengxue both casually and deliberately.

In fact, he purposely did so for Qin Ya. He wanted to make it clear that there was no way her relationship with either Chen Hao or Chen Xuan was going to work out. Qin Ya, please forget about Chen Hao as soon as you can and start a new relationship.

At some point throughout his journey, Chen Hao came to accept that he could no longer return to his previous life.

He could not afford to hurt her again after the last time. Therefore, that was his last resort.

"What's happening in front of us?"

The team set off in the early morning and carried on their journey until noon.

At that moment, the convoy of carriages were pulled to a stop.

Mr. Pang exclaimed in consternation.

"It seems like there's a car ahead destroyed following a crash. There are people there too!" one of them shouted.

"What nonsense are you talking about? We're in the middle of the desert. How could there be any cars here?" asked Professor Yang.

Chen Hao stared ahead. At that moment, he could not help frowning.

"That's not a car. That's a helicopter!"

With that, Chen Hao scurried toward it.

Professor Yang and the rest of the team saw Chen Hao as the core of the group. Immediately, all of them went to surround him.

An accident had indeed happened here. The remnants of the body of the helicopter scattered all over the ground.

There was still some warmth lingering on the remnants.

Obviously, the accident happened in the early hours of the morning.

"There are people over there but it seems like they have died!" exclaimed Shen Mengxue in shock.

Chen Hao darted toward one of the sand dunes.

As expected, around three to four bodies were found there.

After taking a closer look at the corpses, Chen Hao's eyes twitched vigorously.

"Why are they all dressed in black robes?"

"No way... Could they be some tomb raiders as shown in the dramas? Otherwise, why the need to dress so covertly?" one of the team members suggested.

All of them could not help but gulp. For some reason, they were overwhelmed by fear.

No one noticed Chen Hao's expression.

Being slightly fidgety, he went to check the breathing of the people lying on the ground. All of them had no sign of life.

How? How could they have appeared here? Chen Hao asked himself.

These people were not strangers. They were none other than the members of the Soul Palace.

At the sight of the remnants of the helicopter, Chen Hao felt like he had somehow seen it before. At the same time, he started to feel restless deep down.

When he confirmed the corpses' identities, it was only to be expected that grief started to take over his mind.

The members from the Soul Palace were part of the Chen Family too!

It seemed like they were here to trace him down. Helicopters owned by the Soul Palace were usually provided special maintenance so that they would never crash. Several possible causes of the accident could be ruled out, judging from the engine oil splattered all over the scene.

In that case, exactly who killed them?

Chen Hao did a thorough inspection around.

Finally, he managed to replace some clues from one of the bodies found nearby.

Apparently, this person was killed twice.

It was because traces of the person crawling around could be seen on the ground.

After removing the person's clothes, Chen Hao saw a distinctive palm print on his chest.

He was killed twice.

As expected, someone killed them!

"Eh? This palm print?"

Chen Hao was caught in a daze.

The mark was made by someone's left palm.

Everyone from the Soul Palace was an Inner Energy practitioner.

Ordinary folks wouldn't have been able to take their lives.

It appeared that whoever hurt them was a Grandmaster who was stronger than him.

Someone who was a Grandmaster... Who used only his left hand!

Mo Canglong!

Chen Hao's eyelids twitched violently and immediately grew alarmed.

Indeed, he had witnessed with his own eyes how Mo Canglong dragged his helicopter down.

Moreover, Mo Canglong was the only one who was capable and possible of doing such a deed.

Is it possible that he has pursued me all the way here?

Although Chen Hao was blessed with the protection from the Breaching Army, there was still a long way for him to go before he was able to fight Mo Canglong.

What a scumbag! It seems like he's desperate to get to me!

"Mr. Chen, are you alright? Are you able to recognize the remnants of the helicopter as well as the bodies?" Professor Yang couldn't help but ask after noticing Chen Hao's pale face. "Yes!" Chen Hao nodded his head in agreement.

"What a pity! They all died in the crash. Sigh!" Professor Yang and the rest of them heaved out a sigh.

"The crash was not just a simple accident. All of them were murdered!" said Chen Hao after getting to his feet.

His words caused quite a stir among the group of tourists.

"T-They were murdered? Who would be capable of doing that?"

"It's a long story and it's hard to explain everything now. The killer is coming after me. Therefore, we would have to part ways for the rest of the journey. Professor Yang, all of you, please be extra careful!" Cher Hao advised solemnly.

According to Mo Canglong's personality, he would not spare a single soul as long as he could replace Chen Hao.

If the worst came, around forty to fifty members from the tourist group and the inspection team would be sacrificed.

Hence, Chen Hao would not want to involve them, especially Qin Ya.

"Chen Xuan, are you going to leave us?" said Shen Mengxue with her eyes reddened.

"Yes, I have to go. Otherwise, all of you would be pulled into this mess with me!" said Chen Hao.

A short moment later, he recalled something in his mind.

He fished out the map of the desert from under his arm.

However, he quickly removed the location of the Longevity Coffin from the map using his Inner Energy.

He mulled over the map for some time.

After that, he walked over to Qin Ya who was staring at him.

"Please take this map with you. If you guys are continuing the inspection work, this would help with your work and assist you guys in replaceing your way out of the desert," said Chen Hao while staring at her. As for Qin Ya, she was somehow taken aback by this.

At that moment, she saw a glimpse of Chen Hao in Chen Xuan as he stared at her.

"As a girl, you should protect yourself well, or you could replace someone to protect you. As you said, I look very much like Chen Hao. Since I've heard some stories about him from you guys, I guess both Chen Hao and I would hope that you would be happy and have a great life ahead!" said Chen Hao after placing the map in Qin Ya's hands.

Qin Ya started to breathe more rapidly.

"Everyone, we shall part ways now. Please do take care!"

Chen Hao nodded his head toward Shen Mengxue before leaving...
