Chapter 477: Chapter 0477: What He Wants More Is to Kill Him
Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei parted ways, immediately releasing a pent-up breath.
From the moment Wu Mei and her entourage showed up and revealed Ye Xunhuan’s identity, or rather, soon after Xie Guangyi appeared, Ye Xunhuan realized he was being surveilled.
The surveillance party were extremely cautious, almost as if they feared discovery. They remained well hidden every day.
However, they underestimated Ye Xunhuan and overestimated themselves, thinking they were well concealed, not knowing that Ye Xunhuan had long detected them.
Though realizing they meant no harm, Ye Xunhuan didn’t say much, but if he wanted, he could easily shake off the ones monitoring him.
But after his condition reappeared yesterday, Ye Xunhuan realized he must not allow these people to continue watching him, lest they discover his secret or his relapse. If that happened, none of them would survive.
Although Ye Xunhuan could detect them and shake them off, anyone could make a mistake or stumble, and what if he was careless?
Therefore, Ye Xunhuan had to preemptively defend himself and eliminate all potential dangers in their inception.
This was why Ye Xunhuan had met with Wu Mei; he wanted to use her as a mouthpiece to tell the powers above, "I have given you enough face by letting you watch me for so long."
But he wanted to lead a peaceful life and was not anyone’s prisoner, they should not surveil him further or else they should not blame him for being rude.
After Ye Xunhuan left, Wu Mei was completely shocked.
She had once sent people to follow Ye Xunhuan, who were discovered and beaten up by him. And now someone else was monitoring him!
And she didn’t know anything about it!
Why keep it from her?
Wu Mei wasn’t sure, but with Ye Xunhuan’s message delivered, she had to contact her superiors.
Taking out her cell phone, Wu Mei dialed a number.
The call was connected instantly, and before Wu Mei could speak, a deep voice carrying an air of authority came through, chilling her to the core!
"What’s happened?"
"Director, are you having someone watch Ye Xunhuan?"
Just as Wu Mei finished speaking, the person on the other end fell into a brief silence.
A moment later, they spoke again, "Did Ye Xunhuan tell you that?"
"Yes!" Wu Mei responded candidly, "He asked me to tell you to stop sending people to track him and to stop being so presumptuous, otherwise we will face the consequences ourselves!"
"I understand!"
"Director, why are you doing this?"
"What, am I now subject to your questioning regarding my decisions?" The voice on the line turned slightly displeased.
"No, it’s just..."
"Wu Mei, he’s a Marshal, a mobile ticking bomb. Who knows when he might explode? If you were in my shoes, could you really leave him alone without any precautions?"
Wu Mei fell silent!
Could she?
No!
Ye Xunhuan was indeed too dangerous, too terrifying.
"Don’t think that just because he tells you he wants a peaceful life, he can actually have one," the other party took a deep breath and continued, "Sometimes, many things don’t develop as you expect, and they’re not at your beck and call!"
"Director, I understand!"
"I’ll withdraw our men immediately, but you need to stay in Fengxiang City, just in case he does something unexpected, and then we’ll be caught off guard!"
"Yes, Director!" Wu Mei agreed without any hesitation.
But as soon as she finished speaking, Wu Mei couldn’t help but ask again, "Director, are you saying you had people watch him not because of the Taiji Seal?"
"Taiji Seal?" The other party sneered, "What, are you starting to doubt me?"
"Wu Mei dares not!"
"I can understand how you feel at this moment, so I might as well tell you, or else you’ll carry personal emotions into your work," the other party said in a measured tone, "The Taiji Seal, everyone wants it, I do too, but I also know that it’s an impossible thing!"
"At the same time, his identity is very sensitive. To act against him is to trouble myself. You must have seen his power by now, and it’s not an exaggeration to describe it as terrifying."
"Do you think anyone here could subdue him?"
Wu Mei fell into silence. Who could subdue him?
None, except perhaps the Hidden Dragons among the Hidden Dragons, right?
Of course, there are others, but they are merely collaborators and each one is a monster, none of whom could be ordered around.
"I won’t hide it from you, if it were possible, I’d rather have him killed!" The other party’s voice suddenly changed.
Upon hearing this chilling statement, Wu Mei couldn’t help but shiver, "Director, you... "
"Surprising, isn’t it?" The other party took another deep breath, "Not just me, I think many in this world have this thought, but we all know, it can’t be done!"
"Even if it could be done, not only would it come at a great cost, but it would also trigger a chain reaction..."
Wu Mei strongly agreed with this. Ye Xunhuan was a man with his own kingdom. If something were to happen to him, the underworld would plunge into chaos immediately, with no one to punish them, no one to plan order.
At the same time, others in the underworld like Ye Xunhuan would seize the opportunity to create disturbances, thus causing even more chaos.
It’s no exaggeration to say that Ye Xunhuan alive could not only deter some, but also kept others in check.
"Do you still have any questions now?"
"None!" 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑝𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
"Since that is the case, then focus on your work properly."
Afterwards, the other party hung up the phone without giving Wu Mei a chance to speak.
At this moment, in the outskirts of Yanjing, hidden in a valley underground base, a middle-aged man with medium-short hair sat in front of a computer, his face full of solemnity.
The man was about fifty years old, tall, with distinct facial features, neatly groomed jet-black hair, wearing a rarely seen Zhongshan suit, exuding a meticulous and haughty demeanor of a superior.
Behind the middle-aged man, an old man in his sixties sat at a stone table, wearing a long robe with snow-white beard, giving off an air of youthful vigor despite his age.
"I told you long ago not to be too presumptuous in angering Ye Xunhuan. Now he has found out, hasn’t he?" the old man said in a calm voice, "This time it was just a warning. If he finds out again next time, he might send you a big ’gift’!"
"And if those folks from the Hidden Dragons knew what you were doing..."
The old man didn’t continue but just sighed heavily.
This sigh seemed as long as from ages past to the present, filled with helplessness.
