Chapter 327: Chapter 0327: Why Don’t You Tell Me the Truth
After hanging up on Xiao Jiu’s call, Ye Xunhuan immediately walked over to the computer at his previous desk, swiftly turned on the computer, and expertly logged onto a webpage!
The webpage was rather flashy, or rather, very enticing. The initial display was a seductive interface featuring alluring women, and there was even a fashionable and beautiful woman on it, drawing the eye. But after Ye Xunhuan lightly clicked a couple of times, a login interface appeared straightaway, and at the same time, the webpage turned dark and gloomy, even the whole page looked sinister and terrifying, with blood dripping down in the animated effects!
After Ye Xunhuan quickly entered his account and password, the entire webpage changed again, now displaying a series of headshots, each with a knife hanging over it!
After scrolling down a few pages, Ye Xunhuan saw his own photo. When he saw his photo, the corners of Ye Xunhuan’s mouth slowly drew into a chilling smile.
Long Zu Bodhi, who had followed Ye Xunhuan over, was first taken aback upon seeing this, then his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Ye Xunhuan, "You... you actually got yourself listed on ’Heaven’s Punishment’!"
"Heaven’s Punishment," the largest assassin platform in the underground world, was a gathering place for top assassins from around the world, a truly terrifying platform!
Here, if you had the money, you could put a bounty on anyone’s head. Of course, whether anyone took it was another matter!
But as far as Ye Xunhuan knew, as long as someone dared to post a bounty, there hadn’t been an assassin from the "Heaven’s Punishment" platform who didn’t dare to accept it!
After a brief shock, Long Zu Bodhi really wanted to laugh. The mighty marshal of the underground world was actually listed on there; it seemed like nothing less than a prank by God!
The marshal was a dominating overlord in the underground world, undefeated in battle, the one who had overthrown the Ying Mei organization, and an idol among countless people in the underground world, as well as a target many wanted to take down!
If they killed him, they could rise to power, replacing him and becoming famous around the world!
But was Ye Xunhuan that easy to kill?
The answer was obvious, definitely not easy. If he were, he wouldn’t be alive today.
Ye Xunhuan lit a cigarette for himself, took a light puff, and said, "Quite interesting. Someone actually put me on here, and the ’Poison Snake’ took the job!"
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan clicked on his own avatar, but suddenly, his eyes grew wide, damn, a double bounty!
In that instant, a million curses ran through Ye Xunhuan’s mind.
A double bounty, as the name implies, meant that two people had posted a bounty on the same person. If you killed that person, you could get the commission from both employers.
Of course, it also meant that two assassins could accept the job!
As long as the target was killed, and the platform was updated in real-time, then the commission would be directly deposited into the assassin’s account, with no fear of someone else claiming it!
Even if there were two people, it was the same!
"Marshal, I’m really impressed by you. Who did you offend to get a double bounty, and both with decent prices too? It’s making even me a bit tempted," Long Zu Bodhi said with a slowly spreading smile, teasing him!
"See who else took the job!"
Hearing Long Zu Bodhi’s words, Ye Xunhuan nodded and clicked open the profile.
When Long Zu Bodhi saw the person on the screen, he burst into laughter, his chest shaking wildly with glee, while Ye Xunhuan’s face turned utterly dark!
"Really... I’m dying of laughter..." Long Zu Bodhi laughed heartily, "It’s... it’s the scumbag!"
"Marshal, is there going to be a civil war in your kingdom? Your own brother is coming to kill you!"
The scumbag, a general under Ye Xunhuan, had fought and bled by his side, made quite a name for himself in the assassin community, and was quite a character!
Now that the scumbag had accepted a bounty on him, how could Long Zu Bodhi not laugh?
Ye Xunhuan was utterly speechless. He could understand the ’Poison Snake’ taking on this task, but the scumbag... that really was a scumbag move!
"Funny, is it?" Ye Xunhuan asked with slightly displeased tone.
"What do you think?" Long Zu Bodhi looked at Ye Xunhuan with a smile, "Your own vassal wants to kill the king. Don’t you find that hilarious?"
"You must have done something to have made people so angry, even your own people want to kill you!"
"Kill your grandpa!" Ye Xunhuan looked at Long Zu Bodhi with exasperation, "That guy definitely doesn’t know who I am!"
"Keep telling yourself that!"
When his words fell, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi turned and left.
The viper moved, but Dragon Ancestor Bodhi did not take it seriously, let alone Ye Xunhuan. As for the jerk, Dragon Ancestor Bodhi just gave a nonchalant smile; he was one of Ye Xunhuan’s men, so how could he possibly kill Ye Xunhuan? It was just unknown what this guy was planning to do by taking on this bounty!
Dragon Ancestor Bodhi left the place with peace of mind, but Ye Xunhuan fell into contemplation. Who had set the bounty on him?
......
After work, Ye Xunhuan went to Little Nine’s place and had Little Nine ask the jerk if he was itching for a beating, daring to take his bounty.
After staying for a while at Little Nine’s, Ye Xunhuan got in his car and left the bar.
Heading towards the villa!
Upon returning to the villa, Wang Ma immediately asked warmly whether Ye Xunhuan had eaten.
When Ye Xunhuan said he hadn’t, Wang Ma started cooking for him.
After Ye Xunhuan had eaten, just as he was preparing to go upstairs, Wang Ma suddenly said, "Young master, wait a moment!"
"What’s the matter, Wang Ma?"
"I’ve made a soup for the young lady; please take it to her. I won’t be going over," Wang Ma said to Ye Xunhuan, "The young lady is in the study right now!"
Ye Xunhuan took the soup from Wang Ma’s hands and nodded, "Okay, Wang Ma, if there’s nothing else, you should go and rest early!"
Then, Ye Xunhuan carried the soup upstairs.
Upon reaching the study’s door, Ye Xunhuan pushed it open and entered. He saw Qiu Ruoxi sitting at her desk, working on her computer!
Hearing the door open, Qiu Ruoxi slowly turned her head, glanced at Ye Xunhuan, then refocused on her computer screen!
"Wang Ma made you some soup, better to drink it while it’s hot!" Ye Xunhuan said to Qiu Ruoxi! 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝒑𝙪𝒃.𝒄𝒐𝙢
"Just leave it there; I’ll drink it later," Qiu Ruoxi said without turning her head.
"It won’t be good if it cools down, remember to drink it sooner rather than later!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan was ready to leave the study. Working in the study wasn’t a new habit for Qiu Ruoxi, and Ye Xunhuan knew that she hated to be disturbed while working, so he decided to leave!
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to leave, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly seemed to remember something and turned her head to Ye Xunhuan and said, "What happened in your office today?"
Startled by Qiu Ruoxi’s question, Ye Xunhuan’s steps faltered for a moment, "Nothing, I was just in a bad mood and let off some steam. I just didn’t expect..."
"Be more careful next time, that’s the company, not home!"
"I know!"
After Ye Xunhuan left the study, Qiu Ruoxi pulled open a drawer from the desk, took out a transparent bag of shattered material, inside of which was a bullet!
The broken glass in Ye Xunhuan’s office and the shattered computer were things Qiu Ruoxi was impossible not to know about. The person cleaning the office had found the bullet inside the computer and immediately informed Qiu Ruoxi.
However, Qiu Ruoxi suppressed the news, not causing any sensation.
Initially, Qiu Ruoxi’s first thought upon seeing the bullet was to question Ye Xunhuan’s safety. Once she knew he was fine, she let out a sigh of relief!
Although she had intended to ask Ye Xunhuan about it right then, she eventually decided not to and instead waited to ask him at home. But she hadn’t expected Ye Xunhuan to not reveal the truth to her. He covered it up!
Why did he cover it up, and what exactly was he hiding?
Who wanted to kill him?
Concern and unease began to rise uncontrollably within Qiu Ruoxi’s heart!
"Why won’t you tell me the truth!" Qiu Ruoxi murmured to herself.
