Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Don’t Send People to Follow Me
Originally, Ye Xunhuan had wanted to refuse, but after hearing Wu Mei’s voice filled with a plea, his heart softened, and he agreed.
This woman was quite pitiful, her boss had been slaughtered at some point without her knowledge, and she had almost gotten herself involved as well.
Moreover, Ye Xunhuan also had some matters he wanted to discuss with Wu Mei.
The dining location was at a Chinese restaurant next to the Huaxia Group.
Although Huaxia Group did not allow employees to go out to eat during meal times, Ye Xunhuan completely ignored this rule, as Qiu Ruoxi wouldn’t question him.
No one else would say anything either.
When Ye Xunhuan arrived at the restaurant, Wu Mei was already there, sitting in the private room waiting for him, and some dishes were laid out on the table, still steaming.
Clearly, they had not been brought out long ago.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Wu Mei immediately stood up, "Mr. Ye..."
Looking at Wu Mei’s somewhat nervous demeanor, a slow smile appeared on Ye’s face. He clearly understood why Wu Mei was acting this way; his ferocity from the day before must have left an indelible impression in her heart!
"You’re not going to interrogate or catch me again, are you?" Ye Xunhuan joked.
"No... no!" Wu Mei hastily shook her head.
"No need to be so tense, just be like you were before; you’re making me quite uncomfortable!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan had already unceremoniously taken a seat on the chair.
"Has Xie Guangyi’s body been found?" Ye Xunhuan asked softly after sitting down.
A bitter look immediately spread across Wu Mei’s face, "It hasn’t been found, but bloodstains were discovered at Uncle Xie’s residence, and after DNA comparison, they were confirmed to be Uncle Xie’s!"
Wu Mei had not expected that Xie Guangyi would be killed, especially under such stealthy circumstances, and she had not had the slightest inkling of it afterward.
This filled Wu Mei’s heart with guilt!
"Keep looking; you should be able to find him," Ye Xunhuan said softly. "You don’t have to be too sad. Once you enter your line of work, it’s like having one foot in the king of hell’s palace where life and death are unpredictable!"
"But relatively speaking, you are better off. As for the Hidden Dragon..." Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, shaking his head without continuing.
"Right, when I last saw you with Xie Guangyi, didn’t you say people from Hidden Dragon would take action? Why didn’t I encounter them?"
This was also the reason Ye Xunhuan had come to see Wu Mei.
He was certain that the Xie Guangyi he had seen last time was real.
"I’m not very clear about that; it has always been Uncle Xie communicating with those above," Wu Mei shook her head. "However, I heard that Hidden Dragon encountered a sudden ambush by unidentified individuals, which is why they couldn’t make it in time!"
Ye Xunhuan’s brows furrowed slightly.
Hidden Dragon attacked?
Who would dare to hinder and attack Hidden Dragon?
Did Willow Qingcheng know any insider information?
Ye Xunhuan wanted to find Willow Qingcheng to ask her, but he didn’t know how to find her, especially since the incident that happened the day before left him with no face to see Willow Qingcheng.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for saving my life yesterday," Wu Mei said gratefully.
"It was nothing, just lending a hand," Ye Xunhuan said softly.
Suddenly, as if Wu Mei remembered something, she took out an object from her person and said, "Mr. Ye, it’s best that I hand this over to you!"
The Mystic Stone!
Ye Xunhuan was slightly stunned after seeing the object in Wu Mei’s hands.
"How did it end up in your hands?"
"I got it when I was cleaning up the bodies yesterday," Wu Mei explained to Ye Xunhuan, "I originally thought it was He Luo, but who would have guessed that it’s actually the Islamic relic Xuan Stone, and it even caused Uncle Xie’s death..."
As she spoke, the bitterness on Wu Mei’s face grew even stronger. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
"It’s no use to us keeping it, so I’ll give it to you!"
"It’s of no use to me either, you should return it to Islam!" Ye Xunhuan said softly, "In the hands of others, it’s probably a waste, but only they can truly bring out its value!"
"Moreover, if you return this object to them, they will surely treat you as their benefactor, and it can also help establish a good relationship between Huaxia and Islam."
"If I had it, I would also give it to them. Since it’s all going back to them, it would be better for you to return it, and that’s more meaningful!"
Wu Mei hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "If that’s the case, then alright!"
"I remember I didn’t finish off those little devils, two slipped through the net, did you find them?"
Wu Mei, with a bitter expression, said, "No, Mr. Ye, you..."
"I will not get involved in your affairs!" Ye Xunhuan, as if guessing what Wu Mei wanted to say, immediately interrupted her, "I just want to live a peaceful life!"
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wu Mei’s face revealed a look of disappointment, but knowing that Ye Xunhuan was the marshal, she did not persist in speaking.
A person like Ye Xunhuan simply couldn’t be controlled by a few words, and not just anyone could change his mind.
"Since that’s the case, I won’t say much more. I just hope that Ye Xunhuan will keep his word to live a peaceful life. Otherwise, I will still take action against you."
Public is public, private is private!
Wu Mei was very clear about this. She couldn’t just stand by and watch Ye Xunhuan commit crazy actions or turn a blind eye to evil due to personal feelings.
No matter where Ye Xunhuan was, even if he spoke well, it was likely that no one could feel fully at ease, right?
This man was like a movable bomb, and who knows, he might explode with a loud bang one day, and it would be terrifying beyond measure.
Ye Xunhuan showed a look of appreciation. He very much admired Wu Mei’s clarity between public and private matters.
Even if they fought in the future due to the Taiji Seal, Ye Xunhuan would not regret saving Wu Mei.
This woman was worth saving!
"Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you now to eliminate a future problem?"
"You won’t!" Wu Mei said very confidently, "You want to live a peaceful life in Huaxia, which depends on us to guarantee!"
"Killing me would only mess up your life, and if you wanted me dead, you wouldn’t have saved me yesterday!"
"Actually, I saved you because you’re pretty. If you were an ugly monster, even if you died a hundred times, I wouldn’t save you!"
Wu Mei did not take Ye Xunhuan’s words to heart.
"However, go back and tell your boss not to send people to follow me, otherwise, I will definitely kill them!" Ye Xunhuan’s voice suddenly turned icy.
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wu Mei’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Their people were following Ye Xunhuan?
How did she not know about this?
Why were they following Ye Xunhuan?
Was it to monitor Ye Xunhuan to prevent him from taking any unusual actions, or did they want the Taiji Seal on Ye Xunhuan?
