Chapter 280: Chapter 0280 Qiu Ruoxi’s Worries
Ye Xunhuan had never known mercy when it came to his enemies.
He understood that in the underworld, showing mercy to your enemies was cruelty to yourself.
If he were to let Sato Youichi go today, would Sato Youichi ever spare him, Ye Xunhuan, tomorrow?
He certainly wouldn’t. He would undoubtedly return with reinforced vengeance. Ye Xunhuan was all too well aware of the immense allure the Taiji Seal held over those in the underworld.
Moreover, since Sato Youichi was a little devil, Ye Xunhuan certainly wasn’t in the habit of sparing such a person’s life.
So he killed Sato Youichi, without any hesitation.
Of course, for Chikazuru Morisato, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t possibly let him go either and killed him as well.
After doing all this, Ye Xunhuan wasn’t in a hurry to leave, but instead lit a cigarette for himself, took a gentle drag, and then made a call to Xiao Jiu to have him come clean up.
A moment later, Xiao Jiu hurried over.
"Boss, are you alright?" Concern filled Xiao Jiu’s face.
"Do I look like someone who’s in trouble?" Ye Xunhuan smiled and said, "Clean this up, I’ll be leaving first!"
"Oh, and inform the State Security Bureau, tell them what happened."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan walked towards the car and left the place with Qiu Ruoxi.
Qiu Ruoxi, however, stared blankly at Ye Xunhuan, realizing she felt very unfamiliar with him, extremely unfamiliar.
This unfamiliarity reached an extreme, especially when he was killing others, showing absolutely no reluctance, and even in Ye Xunhuan’s eyes, Qiu Ruoxi saw something she could only describe as indifference.
It was an indifference and contempt for life!
A moment later, Ye Xunhuan drove to the villa, parked the car, turned to look at Qiu Ruoxi, and said, "We’re home, get out of the car!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi slowly came back to her senses, her gaze filled with fear as she looked at him!
Feeling the chill in Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze, Ye Xunhuan took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, took a gentle puff, and said, "If there’s something you want to ask, ask."
"You... You killed someone?"
"Yes," Ye Xunhuan nodded, "You just saw it!"
"This... This isn’t a dream?"
"No!"
"And it’s not a play-act?"
"No!"
"Then you should run!" Qiu Ruoxi hurriedly said, "I’ll arrange money for you, book a flight as soon as I can, the further away the better, and never come back..."
As she spoke, an unprecedented nervousness filled Qiu Ruoxi’s face, and at that moment, the fear seemingly dissolved away!
Stunned by Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan was momentarily taken aback. What the hell was this all about?
Just a moment ago, he started to clearly sense the fear Qiu Ruoxi had towards him, yet now she suddenly wanted him to run!
"Wife, why should I run?"
"You killed someone, and for murder, they execute!" Qiu Ruoxi quickly said, "You need to run, I’ll call my aunt to see if she can help suppress this..."
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, a warm current flowed through Ye Xunhuan’s heart, filled with emotion.
Although he and Qiu Ruoxi had always been as different as ice and fire, at this moment, he could clearly feel that Qiu Ruoxi was genuinely worried about him, caring for him.
"Wife, don’t worry, it’s alright!" Ye Xunhuan shook his head and said, "Someone will handle it!"
"How will you handle it; there were so many people..."
"If I say I can, then I can!" Ye Xunhuan said definitively, "Don’t worry, nothing will go wrong!"
"Really?"
"Would I joke about this?" Ye Xunhuan replied lightly, "Besides, if I were to die, wouldn’t you become a widow? How could I bear to see you become a widow?"
"At a time like this, you still feel like joking, Ye Xunhuan—just run, will you?" Qiu Ruoxi said in panic, "I promise you, I absolutely won’t look for you; I’ll wait for you to come back!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"How about we share a room first, then I run?"
"Okay!" Qiu Ruoxi agreed without a second thought.
Ye Xunhuan was dumbfounded when he heard Qiu Ruoxi’s agreement— he had never anticipated she would agree so promptly and decisively!
"Wife, you’re not lying to me?"
"I’m not lying to you!" Qiu Ruoxi responded hastily. "As long as you run, whatever you ask of me, I’ll agree; okay?"
Qiu Ruoxi and Ye Xunhuan had been together for a few months, and to say they harbored no feelings whatsoever would be a lie.
After all, the human heart is made of flesh.
Although Qiu Ruoxi often found Ye Xunhuan hard to stomach, she couldn’t deny that he truly was a good man!
After all, in all the time they had been married, he had never forced her to do anything she disliked, nor had he ever forced upon her that thing!
Could any other man have restrained himself in such a way?
So, putting aside some of Ye Xunhuan’s bad habits and his lack of ambition, he was a decent person.
Seeing the anxious expression on Qiu Ruoxi’s face, Ye Xunhuan smiled, reaching out to gently touch her cheek.
Normally, Qiu Ruoxi would at least snappily slap away Ye Xunhuan’s "salty pig hand," but at that moment, she did nothing, allowing his hand to remain on her face.
"Wife, you’re really cute when you’re nervous!"
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate nose twitched slightly. "At a time like this, you still have time to joke!"
"Wife, I’ve decided, no matter what, I’m not running!"
"You..."
"If I run, you will definitely get implicated, but if I don’t, each person takes responsibility for their actions. Moreover, if I stay, even if something goes wrong, it won’t extend to you." Ye Xunhuan said emphatically, "If I get shot, won’t you be free of me completely?"
"You can go find a man you truly like..."
"You... you..." Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate body trembled in anger, "I’ll go to my parents..."
With those words, Qiu Ruoxi quickly opened the car door, "Mom, Dad, it’s terrible, it’s terrible..."
Upon getting out of the car, Qiu Ruoxi immediately started shouting at the top of her lungs.
Meanwhile, Ye Xunhuan sat inside the car, chuckling bitterly. He truly didn’t know how to explain things to Qiu Ruoxi.
After all, the worlds they had experienced before were different, and their worldviews even more so.
For Qiu Ruoxi, murder was punishable by death, but for Ye Xunhuan, it was completely a normal thing.
Qiu Ruoxi ran all the way to the villa’s living room, still shouting, causing Qiu Shuihan and Xiahou Yutong to hurriedly run downstairs from upstairs.
"Ruoxi, what happened?"
"Mom, Dad, Ye Xunhuan has committed murder, he’s killed someone..." Qiu Ruoxi said urgently!
