Chapter 1406 - 1404: Ye Xin’s Fury
Ye Xin’s face was grim, exuding a chilling coldness.
As she left the beauty salon, many men who accompanied their girlfriends or wives turned to look at Ye Xin, captivated by her stunning beauty. But her icy demeanor quickly extinguished any impulsive thoughts, as they realized she was untouchable.
Leaving the salon, Ye Xin got into the car, quickly reversing and performing a tail spin, then shot out far away.
Twenty minutes later.
At the gate of the manor.
Ye Xin honked the horn, was granted entry, and swiftly drove in.
Yang Chen, watching the car speed up from the window, couldn’t help but frown.
The car was the one Wei Xueqing drove out earlier today.
But seeing how fast and aggressive the car was moving now, it must be Ye Xin driving.
Screech!
The car came to an abrupt stop, perfectly positioned within the parking space.
The door opened, and a long, slender leg extended out from the car.
Yang Chen took one glance and immediately knew it was Ye Xin’s leg!
Only Ye Xin’s legs could look so perfect, so beautiful!
Ye Xin quickly got out of the car, shut the door with a bang and locked the car while striding forward.
Seeing Ye Xin’s imposing stance, Yang Chen’s heart skipped a beat. Feeling a bit worried, he quickly went out to greet her.
Pulling open the door, Yang Chen stood at the entrance and asked Ye Xin, who was walking towards him, "What’s wrong? What happened?"
Ye Xin gave him a frosty glance and said, "Let’s talk inside!"
Yang Chen could tell immediately that something was wrong, so he refrained from asking further questions and opened the door for Ye Xin to enter first, following closely behind.
Once in the hall, Ye Xin headed directly to the second floor.
Yang Chen followed her.
Arriving at the study, Yang Chen closed the door behind them and looked at Ye Xin.
Ye Xin took a deep breath, stood in front of the desk, and took out her phone. After unlocking it, she placed it on the desk and walked alone to the window, looking outside.
Yang Chen went over, picked up the phone, and started looking.
They were photos.
Upon opening the photos, Yang Chen’s pupils couldn’t help but contract.
The photos depicted a woman.
Naked.
Covered in wounds.
Her face was almost unrecognizable.
Numerous injuries marked her body.
It was clear that she had suffered inhumane abuse while alive.
The lower part was a complete mess.
Seeing these photos made Yang Chen’s fist clench tightly with audible creaks.
"This is an agent I arranged in Beihai Country, well hidden, living there for several years. I sent her on this mission to investigate this matter. She... always did very well. Many tasks and intelligence regarding Beihai Country have been handled by her; she was very capable and skilled. But this time..."
Yang Chen took a deep breath and asked coldly, "Who was it?"
Ye Xin shook her head, "I don’t know! By the time my people found her, she was already dead! While alive... she suffered insults and inhumane torture! I... will not spare those people!"
Ye Xin turned around and stared at Yang Chen: "Tomorrow! I will go to Beihai Country myself!"
"No!" Yang Chen immediately shook his head, "I can’t let you take that risk!"
Ye Xin shook her head lightly, "She was my agent! I’m the one who assigned her the task!"
"Still, no!" Yang Chen said solemnly, "It’s too dangerous!"
Ye Xin looked at Yang Chen, "If it were someone from Asura Hall or Dragon Tooth, what would you do?"
Yang Chen fell silent.
If someone under his command had experienced this, he would have unhesitatingly gone to Beihai Country, just like Ye Xin.
But now it’s Ye Xin’s agent in trouble, and he’s more worried about Ye Xin.
"Then don’t stop me! You understand how I feel!" Ye Xin said softly.
The words were gentle, but the weight was heavy, leaving no room for negotiation.
Yang Chen looked at Ye Xin deeply, knowing saying more would be futile, he then nodded.
"Thank you!" Ye Xin stepped forward, approached Yang Chen, and lightly kissed the corner of his mouth on tiptoe.
"But I will go with you!" Yang Chen said gravely after enjoying Ye Xin’s sweet kiss.
Ye Xin raised her head slightly, looking at Yang Chen.
"If you don’t let me go with you, I won’t let you go alone! Since they’ve targeted your agent, it means they’ve already noticed. Leaving the body there like that is a trap to lure you over! Once you arrive, you’re bound to face a deadly ambush! I can’t let you take that risk alone!" Yang Chen said seriously.
"I..." Ye Xin’s lips parted lightly.
Yang Chen placed his hand on Ye Xin’s lips, preventing her from speaking further, and said softly, "If you ask me not to worry, I can’t do it! Only if I go with you, stay with you, can I be at ease! Because only this way, I can ensure you won’t be in danger!"
"But..." Ye Xin’s eyes were filled with deep emotion, yet she was still worried about the risks of Yang Chen accompanying her.
Yang Chen said softly, "There are no ’buts’! I’ll make the arrangements now!"
Watching Yang Chen’s departing figure, a layer of mist covered Ye Xin’s eyes.
Ye Xin felt that she’d made no mistake in choosing this man!
Leaving the room, Yang Chen went downstairs.
"Night Fire! Purple Cultivator!" Yang Chen said coldly.
"Here!"
Two people immediately appeared before Yang Chen.
Yang Chen looked seriously at them and said sternly, "Prepare to execute the mission, and find three more people!"
"Yes!"
The two didn’t even ask what the mission was or where to go; they turned and went to recruit more people.
Yang Chen planned to take a five-member team with him this time; having too many people for such a mission would be disadvantageous.
After the two left, Yang Chen took out his phone and dialed a number.
Xibo.
Zhao Feiyang was directing his team to analyze some data when he noticed the phone screen light up beside him.
During work, Zhao Feiyang required everyone to keep their phones silent, or even turned off.
Therefore, when the phone screen lit up, it made no sound.
But when he saw the contact name, Zhao Feiyang’s expression changed, and he immediately picked up the phone and stood up, heading outside.
The team left in the office looked at each other, puzzled.
They knew Zhao Feiyang was young yet extremely capable, held considerable power, and acted decisively. Many feared Zhao Feiyang.
But seeing Zhao Feiyang’s expression when picking up the phone...and glimpsing through the glass at his cautious, timid manner while answering outside, they couldn’t help but be curious.
"Who is the boss answering a call from?"
"The boss seems scared?"
"Could it be the boss’s boss?"
"Does the boss have a boss? Wonder who can overpower him!"
...
Inside, they were discussing wildly, but outside Zhao Feiyang looked unwell.
