Chapter 640: Chapter 0640: You Should Be Able to Trust Me by Now
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan was completely at loggerheads with Shan Yujing.
This woman belonged to the Kunlun faction, and she wasn’t without influence. Now that Qiu Ruoxi and Madam Wang were at her feet, Ye Xunhuan was not completely confident that he could snatch them away from her grasp.
Therefore, he had to exhibit enough deterrence to intimidate Shan Yujing.
Shan Yujing was not a person from the underworld, and even if it were someone from the underworld who had caught Qiu Ruoxi, they wouldn’t dare to take her life!
After all, taking Qiu Ruoxi’s life would be tantamount to declaring war on Ye Xunhuan, forcing him into a fight to the death with them!
People who lived on the edge of the blade and treated life and death indifferently in the underworld still didn’t dare to really kill Qiu Ruoxi, let alone Shan Yujing.
At this moment, Shan Yujing’s heart was filled with struggle.
Reason told her to release Qiu Ruoxi; she must not kill her, or she would face endless troubles. However, the hatred for her husband’s murder made her reluctant to let Qiu Ruoxi go.
Ye Xunhuan was a marshal. If she released Qiu Ruoxi, then Shan Yujing would lose all advantage. If Ye Xunhuan then waged war on her, could she resist him?
After all, Ye Xunhuan was a marshal who had single-handedly overthrown the Shadow Charm organization and killed the Queen and King of Charm.
Shan Yujing had no choice but to consider all of these things.
To release or not to release?
At this moment, Shan Yujing was completely torn, utterly unsure of the right course of action.
Ye Xunhuan was not pushing Shan Yujing for an answer but was quietly waiting for her to make her decision.
Time ticked away second by second. Three minutes was not a long time, and it passed in the blink of an eye.
"Shan Yujing, time is almost up. Will you release her or not?"
"Ye Xunhuan, I can release her, but only if you die..."
"I die?" Ye Xunhuan was taken aback, but then he burst into laughter as if he had heard the world’s biggest joke, "Shan Yujing, do you have what it takes to kill me?"
"You must take your own life!" Shan Yujing said forcefully. "If you do so, I will not harm your wife in the slightest!"
"What if I say no?"
"Then you will have to destroy Kunlun!" Shan Yujing said through gritted teeth!
After intense internal struggle, Shan Yujing finally came up with this solution.
If she killed Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan would definitely retaliate against her. If she released Qiu Ruoxi, then Ye Xunhuan would be fearless, knowing he could deal with her afterward. But did she have the confidence to kill Ye Xunhuan herself?
She did not!
This was the underworld marshal, who at the very least possessed an Innate realm at its peak. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to maintain his position!
And Shan Yujing had just entered the mid-phase of Innate. Could she fight against Ye Xunhuan?
The answer goes without saying. She couldn’t, so she wanted Ye Xunhuan to die!
That way, she would have nothing to worry about.
"Take my own life?" Ye Xunhuan’s expression suddenly turned stern, "Shan Yujing, do you think I’m a fool?"
"If I take my own life, how can I be sure you will release my wife?" Ye Xunhuan said with a cold face. "If I die and you don’t release her, what the hell could I do to you?"
"You have no choice!" Shan Yujing said forcefully. "Either you die, or we both end up destroyed!"
Watching Shan Yujing’s stern look, Ye Xunhuan’s expression started to shift unpredictably!
He could see the worry at the back of Shan Yujing’s mind; she feared that he would eventually hunt them down one by one!
"Ye Xunhuan, do you agree or not?" Shan Yujing asked again.
As she spoke, Shan Yujing’s right leg suddenly exerted force.
"Xunhuan, don’t agree with her, kill her..." Qiu Ruoxi, enduring the pain on her body, immediately cried out.
She could see that Ye Xunhuan was starting to struggle internally. Despite his usual carefree demeanor, she feared he might truly die in front of her.
This was a woman’s intuition!
Ye Xunhuan glanced at the pale-faced, tightly furrowed Qiu Ruoxi, who was in slight pain, and grinned, "Wife, don’t be afraid, I will rescue you, trust me, just don’t talk right now..."
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition rising within her: "Xunhuan, don’t do anything foolish..."
Ye Xunhuan glanced at Qiu Ruoxi, his face filled with tenderness like never before, but said nothing more. Instead, he looked up at Shan Yujing: "I can agree, but I don’t trust you!"
"I need people from Innate and the National Security Bureau by my side!" Ye Xunhuan stated emphatically.
"Okay!" Shan Yujing agreed without any hesitation, "I’ll contact them now!"
"No need, we have them in Jiangzhong City!" Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "The National Security Bureau has never trusted me, keeping me under surveillance; Officer Wu Mei is one of them!"
"As for the people from Innate, you find them yourself!"
Without any hesitation, Shan Yujing nodded her agreement and coldly ordered, "Contact someone from Innate to see if anyone is in Jiangzhong City!"
"Xunhuan, don’t be so foolish, kill her..." Tears slowly slid down Qiu Ruoxi’s pale face, looking utterly distraught and pitiful.
Ye Xunhuan, as if deaf to Qiu Ruoxi’s words, remained impassive, standing still.
About half an hour later, Wu Mei rushed in from outside.
She was taken aback upon seeing the scene inside the villa!
"This... what is this..."
"Wu Mei, perfect timing, be a witness for me later!" Ye Xunhuan stated calmly.
Before Wu Mei could speak, a middle-aged man around thirty also entered from outside.
This man was an old acquaintance of Ye Xunhuan, the Night Hawk he’d met when dealing with Frank!
Night Hawk, also taken aback upon seeing the scene in the villa, quickly regained his composure and set his sights on Shan Yujing!
"You must be Miss Shan Yujing, right?" Night Hawk asked very politely.
Shan Yujing nodded her head: "Correct!"
"I am Night Hawk from Innate; I’ve been ordered by my superiors to come here to assist you!" Night Hawk immediately stated solemnly.
"Thank you!" Shan Yujing made a perfunctory gesture of politeness before turning her gaze to Ye Xunhuan: "Ye Xunhuan, everyone is here, can you start your self-penalty now?"
Self-penalty?
Upon hearing these two words, both Wu Mei and Night Hawk were stunned, their faces filled with disbelief!
"I don’t trust him," Ye Xunhuan said coldly, pointing at Night Hawk nearby.
Ye Xunhuan was well aware that Night Hawk was dissatisfied with him, even wanting revenge.
Having him act as a witness was no different from asking an enemy to kill him.
"Marshal, what do you mean?" Night Hawk’s rugged face instantly darkened!
"Then surely you can trust me?"
An abrupt voice sounded from the doorway!
