Chapter 523: Chapter 0523: Even Heaven Can’t Save You
Qiu Ruoxi stood still, not having moved an inch since Ye Xunhuan had started killing. Seeing him walk towards her with both hands covered in fresh blood, his body stained red on one side, she almost subconsciously took two steps back!
Although this wasn’t the first time she had seen Ye Xunhuan kill someone, the previous occasion had not been nearly as shocking, nor as bloody as this one!
He was like the devil people spoke of, with human life appearing utterly fragile before him, and worse still, of no value, ready for him to trample upon!
When Ye Xunhuan saw Qiu Ruoxi’s face full of panic and confusion, he bared his teeth in a simple smile and then peeled the duct tape from her mouth with his bloodied hands.
"Wife, I must have scared you!" Ye Xunhuan said with a smile, though his tone seemed somewhat somber.
This was him, his other side, the side he really didn’t want to show to Qiu Ruoxi. But he knew well that he could hide it for a while, but not forever.
Qiu Ruoxi was bound to find out eventually.
Last time he had managed to fob her off, but what if he did the same this time? What about next time?
Qiu Ruoxi was no fool; she was cleverer than anyone. She might not think much of it once or twice, but if it happened repeatedly, wouldn’t she start to notice something?
While talking, Ye Xunhuan untied the ropes binding Qiu Ruoxi.
Gazing at Ye Xunhuan, who was smiling close at hand, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart filled with complex emotions, and she trembled slightly, her pale face shaking her head at him, "It’s okay."
Qiu Ruoxi’s psychological resilience was far greater than that of ordinary women.
Despite feeling uncomfortable and even a wave of nausea rising from within, she forced down the urge to throw up and looked straight at the man before her!
Although she was scared, she also knew that this man would never harm her.
After listening to Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan pulled a cigarette from his bloody hand and lit it, inhaling deeply, "You don’t have to pretend, I know you’re scared. Any normal person would be scared seeing this, let alone you’re a woman!"
"In fact, last time with those little Japanese, I should have let you know what kind of person I am. But I chose to escape and killed them in a simple way!" Ye Xunhuan said, exhaling a thick plume of smoke, "Now, I don’t want you to see me like this either!"
"But I don’t have any other options. I can hide from you temporarily, but not forever, you’re going to find out sooner or later!"
Sorrow filled Ye Xunhuan’s face.
He did not wish to show his cruel side, but did he really have a choice?
He could avoid it for now, but could he really avoid it forever?
Members of the Dark Council had made their move, who knew who would act next?
Now that he was trapped with no way out, instead of letting Qiu Ruoxi find out about his other side later, he might as well let her know now.
After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words and looking at him, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart was a mix of emotions. She wanted to comfort Ye Xunhuan but found herself unable to say anything.
Her mind was full of questions!
Wasn’t he the nephew of the Qin family?
Qin Rumeng’s nephew?
The Crown Prince, a pampered young master of exalted status, so why would he kill people so ruthlessly?
And seeing the way he killed, showing not the slightest bit of remorse, it was as if he was used to it. Had he been killing people all along?
Had she married a man who was a mass murderer?
In fact, ever since Ye Xunhuan had mentioned being a bodyguard in Zhonghai, Qiu Ruoxi had started to doubt. After all, Qin Rumeng was Ye Xunhuan’s aunt, and his mother was Qin Fenghuang. With such an esteemed status, how could he possibly be a Zhongnanhai bodyguard!
But the intelligent Qiu Ruoxi knew Ye Xunhuan didn’t want to speak of it, and her own parents were helping him hide it from her, so she didn’t ask any more questions, pushing her doubts deep down inside her heart.
But in this moment, the doubts in her heart only intensified.
What kind of man had her parents found for her?
Looking at Ye Xunhuan, who was so near yet felt so distant, Qiu Ruoxi felt an overwhelming sense of unfamiliarity, a stranger she couldn’t recognize at all.
"I know you must have countless questions," Ye Xunhuan said without giving Qiu Ruoxi a chance to speak, "I will explain everything to you tonight! For now, I will have someone take you back. I have other matters to attend to!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan immediately picked up his phone and called Xiao Jiu to arrange for someone to pick up Qiu Ruoxi and Qin Muge, while he went to find Miyamoto Kojiro!
Without Loren and Miyamoto Kojiro, Qiu Ruoxi would never have fallen into Qin Wenxian’s hands, and similarly, without them, she would never have suffered this misfortune!
Now that Loren was dead, only Miyamoto Kojiro remained!
But he was also going to die, for Ye Xunhuan would not let him go, he couldn’t leave him be.
Since Miyamoto Kojiro had dared to come to Huaxia, he needed to be prepared to die.
Although Miyamoto Kojiro had already fled, Ye Xunhuan had his own means to find him.
Soon, Xiao Jiu personally drove over, and the sight of the bloody scene inside the warehouse made him shudder deep inside.
Upon seeing Qiu Ruoxi inside the warehouse, a bitterness unlike any before surfaced on Xiao Jiu’s face.
Boss Ye had completely revealed his dark and violent side in front of Qiu Ruoxi. Xiao Jiu wondered if she could bear it.
If she couldn’t bear it...
"Boss Ye..."
"Xiao Jiu, help me take Ruoxi home," Ye Xunhuan spoke indifferently, "Keep her safe for me."
"Boss Ye, you..."
"Murder," Ye Xunhuan confessed without the slightest concealment, "None of them will escape; they all must stay here forever!"
Whoever dared to go against Ye Xunhuan, he would spare no one!
And if it were not for Miyamoto Kojiro, would Qiu Ruoxi have witnessed this other side of him?
In his heart, he had already issued an irrevocable death warrant for Miyamoto Kojiro.
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Xiao Jiu’s heart shuddered violently!
"Boss Ye..."
Ye Xunhuan reached out and patted Xiao Jiu’s shoulder, "Take care of this place as well. Alright, I’m leaving!"
As his voice faded, Ye Xunhuan turned and left suavely. He didn’t look at Qiu Ruoxi or give a glance to Qin Muge who was nearby.
Ye Xunhuan’s silhouette was elongated by the light, looking desolate and bleak.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan’s desolate and bleak silhouette, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t know why, but her heart suddenly ached, as if it had been fiercely stabbed by something!
She wanted to speak, to call out to Ye Xunhuan, to ask him to stay, but for some reason when the words reached her lips, she couldn’t make a sound, as if something was blocking her throat.
After Ye Xunhuan walked out of the warehouse, he exhaled a suffocating breath, "Miyamoto Kojiro, this time, not even Heaven can save you!"
With that, a cold, bone-chilling chill burst forth from the dark, diamond-like depths of Ye Xunhuan’s eyes.
