Chapter 744: Chapter 0744: Qiu Ruoxi Goes Berserk
The inky night, a curved moon suspended in the sky, surrounded by countless stars presenting a scene where all the stars seemed to cradle the moon, their light merging together in a dazzling display. From afar, it resembled the Milky Way, exuding extraordinary beauty.
Moonlight spilled from the distant heavens, casting a silver sheen over the sea, as if draping the waters in a shimmering silver robe, incredibly beautiful.
The sea breeze blew, rolling the waves that crashed against the rocks with a dull thunder!
On the beach, Wu Mei’s clothes were disheveled, the soft moonlight shining on her fair skin, which was now suffused with a clear flush.
At this moment, Wu Mei’s delicate cheeks were filled with blush, especially under the moonlight, they appeared exceptionally alluring!
And Ye Xunhuan at this moment lay motionless atop Wu Mei, as if he had fallen deep into slumber.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan lying on her, Wu Mei’s flushed face was filled with bitterness, while her misty eyes contained a mix of complexity, wretchedness, aggrievement, and regret.
She had not anticipated that her own curiosity would end up involving her as well.
For a while, Wu Mei’s lips were tinged with bitterness, truly, curiosity killed the cat!
After what seemed like an eternity, Wu Mei gazed at Ye Xunhuan lying on her and softly began to call out, "Ye Xunhuan..."
Ye Xunhuan, who seemed to be in a deep slumber on top of Wu Mei, twitched slightly, but then there was no further movement.
Almost instinctively, Wu Mei reached out and gently patted Ye Xunhuan’s face, "Ye Xunhuan... Ye Xunhuan..."
This time, Ye Xunhuan truly appeared to have fallen into a deep sleep, completely motionless, yet his brow was furrowed tightly, as if even in sleep he was having a nightmare, faced with some terrifying ordeal!
Looking at the deeply sleeping Ye Xunhuan, Wu Mei slowly pushed him off her and sat up herself.
After getting up, Wu Mei looked at Ye Xunhuan who lay like a corpse, her face filled with bitterness, and then she prepared to leave.
But in the next moment, Wu Mei seemed to think of something, and a struggle crossed her face.
Now, Ye Xunhuan was completely unconscious. If someone wanted to kill him at this time, it would be exceedingly easy!
If she left, what would happen if he faced danger?
It must be noted that Ye Xunhuan had already engaged in a fight before, and it seemed to be the battle that had left him in such a state. If she left and someone found Ye Xunhuan, wouldn’t it be easy for him to be slain?
For a moment, Wu Mei’s expression flickered uncertainly!
After a long while, Wu Mei exhaled a stifled breath, slowly sitting down on the beach. She could not leave; if she did and someone came to kill Ye Xunhuan, it would be effortless, leading her to decide to wait until Ye Xunhuan woke up before leaving. Otherwise, if she left now and Ye Xunhuan were killed, she would be uneasy.
Having sat down, Wu Mei’s gaze fell upon Ye Xunhuan.
With the help of the moonlight, upon seeing the scars on Ye Xunhuan’s body, her face once again showed a look of complexity.
He was barely in his twenties, yet his body was covered in scars, each one likely holding a story of his own!
At the same time, his young face also bore a sense of age that did not match his years!
If it weren’t for the documents he had prepared himself, it would be hard for anyone to believe that the man before them was a Marshal, one of the ten great overlords of the underworld, an existence feared by countless people and powers.
He was clearly the nephew of the Qin family, the son of Qin Fenghuang, so why had he become a Marshal?
At that moment, Wu Mei was filled with curiosity, but also couldn’t understand it.
With such a noble identity, why would he choose to go to the cutthroat underworld?
Training?
Wu Mei couldn’t believe that anyone would choose to train themselves in such a place!
And so, Wu Mei sat quietly on the beach, watching Ye Xunhuan in silence, just like a love-stricken woman gazing at her beloved!
At the same time, after Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei had left, Qiu Ruoxi became extremely frantic, ready to search for Ye Xunhuan, but was stopped by Wang Shengli, who forbade Qiu Ruoxi from searching for Ye Xunhuan!
Although Wang Shengli didn’t know exactly what had happened or why Ye Xunhuan had fled the place in a frenzy, nor understood why Wu Mei was in pursuit.
But from Wu Mei’s expression, he could tell that something major had occurred, otherwise, Wu Mei wouldn’t have been so agitated, so silent!
And just now, two people had jumped down from the building and escaped using flying devices.
This vaguely made Wang Shengli realize the seriousness of the situation.
Even the fire might have been started deliberately, and it could very well have been targeting Ye Xunhuan!
As Ye Xunhuan’s wife, if the perpetrator was really after Ye Xunhuan, then it would be a huge problem if Qiu Ruoxi went looking for Ye Xunhuan and fell into their hands.
Therefore, Wang Shengli directly intercepted Qiu Ruoxi and ordered the police to keep an eye on her, absolutely forbidding her to search for Ye Xunhuan!
Of course, going home was allowed!
"Director Wang, what right do you have to stop me from finding him?" Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes blazed furiously as she glared at Wang Shengli, wishing she could skewer him with her gaze.
In the face of Qiu Ruoxi’s sword-sharp glare, Wang Shengli showed no fear; instead, he sternly said, "Miss Qiu, the situation is unclear at the moment. We already have personnel on the case, and I hope you can stay put!"
"You..."
"Miss Qiu, with the fire at the Starlight Group’s warehouse, so many people are injured, and there might even be fatalities. This has now become a criminal case. I would like you to cooperate with us and come to the police station to make a statement..."
"Wang Shengli, how dare you!" Qiu Ruoxi instantly erupted in anger, staring down Wang Shengli like an angered lion!
The warehouse fire at the Starlight Group had already filled Qiu Ruoxi’s heart with rage. Now, with Ye Xunhuan missing, her heart was completely clenched with panic and unease!
The mere thought of Ye Xunhuan’s agonized and fierce expression made Qiu Ruoxi feel as if her heart was bleeding!
Now that Wang Shengli was adding to her troubles, Qiu Ruoxi lost her temper on the spot.
