Chapter 467: Chapter 0467: Do You Still Remember Qi Shijie
Qiu Ruoxi was curious about what Ye Xunhuan had been doing and why he returned so late, but she didn’t ask too much.
However, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but ask, "Wife, should you tell me about the Xie family now?"
"Xie Mingjiang and Dad were brothers in the past," Qiu Ruoxi thought for a moment and said, "They were very close, I remember Xie Mingjiang visiting my father every year to drink and chat about everything under the sun."
"But then, I don’t know what happened, they had an argument, each sticking to their own words, and from then on they broke off with Xie Mingjiang."
"After that, my dad and Xie Mingjiang became increasingly distant, and now they basically have no contact at all."
"Why did they argue?"
"I’m not clear; I was very young then, but I vaguely remember it had something to do with some people from Fusang and some business affairs."
Ye Xunhuan’s face showed a puzzled expression, and he started to grow curious inside. What could have caused such a fallout between them?
And how did it get connected to the little devils [Japanese]?
What’s the relationship between Xie Mingjiang and the little devils?
Was today’s charity auction and gala a conspiracy by Xie Mingjiang and the little devils?
To target me?
Ye Xunhuan had to start thinking seriously.
After all, the Islamic relic Xuan Stone was not something that just anyone could control, and not everyone had the courage and boldness to offer it up.
"Although my dad and Xie Mingjiang fell out, and their relationship became more estranged, it seems like Xie Mingjiang has always been trying to mend their relationship," Qiu Ruoxi said again, "but it has never yielded any significant result!"
"So he thought of mending their relationship through you?"
Qiu Ruoxi shook her head lightly and said, "Not exactly; he never deliberately approached me to try to mend the relationship with my dad through me!"
"But he indeed took good care of me," Qiu Ruoxi said lightly, "Sometimes he helps me a lot with business matters."
"However, my dad has always warned me repeatedly not to get too close to Xie Mingjiang!"
"Why?"
"My dad says he has ulterior motives," Qiu Ruoxi said seriously, "He told me to always keep my distance from him!"
At that moment, Ye Xunhuan understood why Qiu Ruoxi had an indifferent attitude towards Xie Mingjiang.
It turned out to be due to her father’s warnings!
But what exactly did Qiu Shuihan mean by ’ulterior motives’?
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t figure it out; if he wanted to know the reasons, he would probably have to ask Qiu Shuihan.
But Ye Xunhuan had another doubt.
With the Xie family becoming one of the four major families in Zhonghai Province, it would seem that Xie Mingjiang and Qiu Shuihan, being brothers previously, would both have accomplished something extraordinary, yet it was obvious Qiu Shuihan had not.
Could there be something unknown there?
"Haven’t you ever asked what’s the matter?"
"I have asked," whispered Qiu Ruoxi, "but I never found out anything, and after that, I didn’t ask anymore!"
In fact, deep inside, Qiu Ruoxi was also curious about what had happened between Qiu Shuihan and Xie Mingjiang for them to gradually go from being brothers to becoming complete strangers.
But after asking several times to no avail, Qiu Ruoxi gradually gave up.
Afterward, Ye Xunhuan was no longer wondering why, but he drove seriously, even though his thoughts were becoming active.
Xie family, what kind of role did Xie Mingjiang play in this charity auction?
Ye Xunhuan did not speak, and Qiu Ruoxi did not take the initiative to speak to Ye Xunhuan, making the atmosphere in the car slightly oppressive.
Time passed, not knowing how long, Ye Xunhuan suddenly frowned slightly, a gloominess appearing on his face.
Qiu Ruoxi immediately noticed the change in Ye Xunhuan and asked softly, "What’s wrong?"
A thought swiftly flashed through Ye Xunhuan’s mind, and he gave Qiu Ruoxi a sheepish smile, "Honey, can you wait here for me for a bit?"
"What are you up to now?" Qiu Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat, and her almond-shaped eyes sharpened at that moment.
This bastard, he had left her at the auction before, and now on this journey, what was he planning to do?
"Just now, my younger brother secretly told me he wanted to take a leak..."
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan immediately stopped the car and quickly said, "Wife, I’m going to the small grove beside us to relieve myself, just wait for me in the car, okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan didn’t give Qiu Ruoxi a chance to reply, opened the car door, and leaped out rapidly, darting into the nearby grove like a gust of wind!
By the time Qiu Ruoxi came back to her senses, Ye Xunhuan had completely disappeared into the night.
This filled Qiu Ruoxi’s heart with anger, that bastard...
It was at the moment Ye Xunhuan left the car and made for the woods, a specter-like figure also rapidly followed him into the grove.
All this went unnoticed by Qiu Ruoxi.
After entering the grove, Ye Xunhuan lit himself a cigarette and took a light drag, "Since you’ve followed me in here, there’s no need to hide anymore!"
No sooner had Ye Xunhuan’s voice fallen than rustling sounds came from all around, clearly not the wind, but the soft sounds of footsteps!
The next moment, a middle-aged man slowly appeared in Ye Xunhuan’s view.
The man was about 1.8 meters tall, looking very sturdy, with a square face and a goatee; the look in his eyes was proud and lonely, but intense and oppressive. 𝘯𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝑐𝑜𝑚
The man’s sharp features indicated that in his youth, he was definitely a handsome guy!
Even now, in his middle age, although signs of aging marked his face, they did not make him look the least bit old; instead, they lent him a weather-beaten look.
This kind of man had an inexplicable allure for young women just stepping into society.
After the man appeared, he spoke without waiting for Ye Xunhuan to do so, "What sharp senses you have!"
"I wonder what you’ve been following me for all this way?" Ye Xunhuan exhaled a thick puff of smoke and asked softly.
"To kill you!" The man did not hide his real intention!
"Kill me?" Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "I don’t seem to know you, sir, why would you want to kill me? Do we have a grudge?"
"Although we have never met, indeed there is a grudge," the man said, nonchalantly!
"Is that so?"
"I wonder if you remember a man named Qi Shijie that you killed." The man’s voice suddenly changed.
It became extremely sharp, and at the same time, a sinister killing intent emanated from him!
