Chapter 567: Chapter 0567: All Will Accompany in Burial
In the early morning, as the sky lightened with the arrival of dawn, an explosive piece of news immediately swept through the entire Jiangzhong City.
The former president of Xinhe Group, Qi Jieyu, who had been in custody during interrogation, was kidnapped after being allowed to seek medical treatment outside due to food poisoning!
As soon as the news broke out, Jiangzhong City immediately boiled over!
Qi Jieyu had fled?
Could it be that this woman knew her end was near and dared to take such a risk?
It’s doubtful anyone had anticipated Qi Jieyu would do such a thing.
Suddenly, everyone was talking about it.
As for Ye Xunhuan, who never paid attention to the news, he was completely unaware of this matter at the moment.
After getting out of bed, Ye Xunhuan went straight downstairs.
Just as he descended from upstairs, Ye Xunhuan saw Qiu Ruoxi, who was already sitting at the dining table, browsing a newspaper with a focused expression.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan come down from upstairs, Wang Ma immediately invited him to come over for breakfast!
Just as Ye Xunhuan approached the dining table, Qiu Ruoxi placed the newspaper she was holding onto the table.
In the moment Qiu Ruoxi laid down the newspaper, Ye Xunhuan’s peripheral vision caught the three characters of Qi Jieyu, prompting him to take a second look involuntarily.
When he saw the news of Qi Jieyu’s escape, Ye Xunhuan was instantly shocked.
Did this woman know she was about to die?
Just as Ye Xunhuan sat down, Qiu Ruoxi said, "Be careful. She’s become a mad dog and definitely won’t let you off the hook easily!"
Upon hearing Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan was slightly startled, then immediately understood her meaning.
Although this woman usually says nothing, asks nothing, seemingly as ascetic as a bodhisattva, Ye Xunhuan was clear that she understood everything all too well!
She probably had long thought Qi Jieyu’s arrest was linked to him, but she never pointed it out.
And even now, she didn’t.
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t point it out, and Ye Xunhuan didn’t verbally acknowledge it either.
"Wife, have you noticed that you’ve begun to wait up for my return at night? And you’re also showing concern for me. Good job, good job. That deserves praise!" Ye Xunhuan joked, "Keep it up, and I’ll buy you cotton candy when I come back!"
After hearing what Ye Xunhuan said, Qiu Ruoxi immediately blushed beet red.
At the same time, she couldn’t help but feel a whirlwind of confusion – how did this scoundrel know she liked cotton candy?
If Ye Xunhuan knew what Qiu Ruoxi was thinking at that moment, he might have collapsed on the spot.
Who would have guessed that the mighty president of Huangtu Group, Qiu Ruoxi, liked to eat cotton candy, a treat popular with children?
"I just don’t want to have to collect your body, that’s all!" Qiu Ruoxi huffed coldly.
Ye Xunhuan was long used to Qiu Ruoxi’s stubborn ways and paid it no mind.
As usual, after breakfast, Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi left the villa one after the other.
However, not long after Ye Xunhuan had left the villa, Xiaojiu gave him a call.
Seeing that the call was from Xiaojiu, Ye Xunhuan’s heart tightened – could something have happened to Su Guyan?
Immediately, Ye Xunhuan hurriedly answered the phone!
"Little Nine, has something happened?"
"Brother Huan, you might want to come over. Qi Jieyu is in my hands now," Little Nine said directly.
After hearing Little Nine’s words, Ye Xunhuan breathed a sigh of relief, the heart that had risen to his throat returning to his stomach.
"Was Qi Jieyu’s escape your doing?"
Little Nine chuckled, "Brother Huan, didn’t you say you wanted Qi Jieyu dead? So, I got her out for you. Are you coming or not?"
"Let’s go see her. After all, she’s an old acquaintance."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you!"
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xunhuan directly changed his route. Instead of going to Huangtu Group, he headed to Little Nine’s place.
When he arrived at Little Nine’s and walked in, Little Nine greeted him with a beaming smile.
"Brother Huan..."
Ye Xunhuan nodded and slowly turned his gaze to Qi Jieyu, who was sitting on the sofa.
At that moment, Qi Jieyu no longer possessed the looks of days past; she appeared much older, with crow’s feet more evident at the corners of her eyes.
She must have suffered quite a bit these recent days.
However, the moment she saw Ye Xunhuan, a venomous look instantly flashed through Qi Jieyu’s dull eyes. She seemed like a ferocious ghost, wishing she could devour Ye Xunhuan. She made to pounce on him, but before she could rise, she was firmly pinned down by the man beside her!
"I know you don’t want to see me!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently to Qi Jieyu. "You really want me dead, but sadly, I am not easy to kill."
"Ye Xunhuan, you will surely not die a good death!" Qi Jieyu’s voice was hoarse and deep. Coupled with that venomous glare, she appeared completely ghostlike!
"How I die, I don’t know, and neither do you, but I do know how you will die," Ye Xunhuan said, his face wearing a faint, enigmatic smile.
While speaking, Ye Xunhuan walked over to Qi Jieyu and sat down on the sofa, looking at her and saying, "I gave you a chance to live, but you insisted on seeking death. There’s no helping it; I have to oblige you!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan sighed helplessly.
Qi Jieyu didn’t speak, instead glaring venomously at Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan, smoking a cigarette, continued, "Why are you so foolish? You failed once, twice, and you still came at me. Are you stupid?"
"Ye Xunhuan, don’t be too smug. Do you think you can rest easy after killing me?" Qi Jieyu said through gritted teeth. "I’m telling you, in your dreams!"
"You killed Shi Yunfeng. There will be people coming after you," Qi Jieyu growled ferociously. "I will be waiting for you in hell, waiting for you!"
Hearing Qi Jieyu’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s eyebrows knitted slightly.
He did remember Shi Yunfeng—he wasn’t only Qi Shijie’s father but also the first man to recognize his mastery of the Bai Shou Tai Xuan Jing.
That’s why Ye Xunhuan had him etched in his memory and why it was imperative for Qi Jieyu to die.
If Shi Yunfeng could recognize the Bai Shou Tai Xuan Jing, his background must have been extraordinary!
"Settling accounts?" Ye Xunhuan scoffed, "I was able to kill Shi Yunfeng. Do you think there’s anyone I can’t kill?"
"Are you trying to worm information out of me, wanting to know about Shi Yunfeng’s background?" Qi Jieyu said sinisterly. "You don’t need to probe; I can tell you about his background myself!"
"So you can live every day in fear, and slowly move towards death," Qi Jieyu cursed venomously. "That woman will not let you go, nor anyone close to you!"
"Not one of you will escape; all of you will accompany her husband, Shi Yunfeng, in death!"
