My Silly, Sweet Wife

Chapter 248: The Last Glimmer of Hope


"Mr. Ye?" Upon hearing Shi Tou's words, Zhao Wuji was initially startled, then he burst out laughing: "Shi Tou, you are too naive. How could someone like Mr. Ye be bothered with your trivial matters? Alright, I'll admit, Black Panther was with Mr. Ye early and was valued by him, but now that Black Panther is dead, there is no more use for him. Who would care about the lives of his subordinates?"

As he spoke, Zhao Wuji grabbed the tablecloth on the dining table in front of him and gave it a strong yank. The dishes and porcelain cups on the table were all pulled off with a clatter, scattering all over the floor.

"Little girl, just lie down obediently and let Shi Tou take off your clothes. Ha ha, otherwise, you might have to go join your dead brother." Zhao Wuji sneered.

Li Ruoxuan trembled all over, "I'll fight you to the death!"

She swung her spring knife and thrust it at Zhao Wuji.

However, although Li Ruoxuan was very knowledgeable about human anatomy, her fighting skills were far inferior to Zhao Wuji's.

Before Li Ruoxuan could get close, Zhao Wuji had already slapped her with no trace of tenderness, making Li Ruoxuan dizzy.

Shi Tou endured the pain in his wrist, stepped forward, and supported Li Ruoxuan: "Sister Xuan, are you okay?"

Li Ruoxuan barely stood firm, her cheek marked with five bright red finger imprints.

She hadn't expected Zhao Wuji to be so ruthless.

At this moment, she finally understood what Li Bao had gone through over the years.

To get to today, Li Bao must have faced death countless times, but every time he saw her, he just smiled, as if life was really easy.

"Brother, I, I'm sorry…" Li Ruoxuan knew she was no match for Zhao Wuji today. She fell to her knees with a thud and couldn't help but cry.

Her brother had endured too much for her, yet she couldn't do anything. She knew the killer was right in front of her, but she was powerless.

The overwhelming sense of helplessness filled Li Ruoxuan with despair.

"Shi Tou, I was too impulsive. I'm sorry!" Li Ruoxuan turned her head to look at Shi Tou, eyes full of regret.

Shi Tou forced a smile.

He had somewhat understood Ye Guichen's intention.

Turns out, without experiencing despair, one would never grow.

"Sister Xuan, it's okay, we won't die today." As he spoke, Shi Tou took out his phone from his pocket and waved it in front of Zhao Wuji: "Boss Zhao, I have recorded what you just said and have already sent it to Mr. Ye."

"What?" Zhao Wuji's pupils constricted, and he gave a signal.

A subordinate of Zhao Wuji immediately snatched the phone from Shi Tou's hand and threw it to Zhao Wuji.

Zhao Wuji glanced at it, and his face instantly became ugly.

The phone showed that the message had been sent successfully.

However, Zhao Wuji quickly sneered: "Shi Tou, now that Black Panther is dead, to someone like Mr. Ye, Black Panther is just a dog. Do you really think Mr. Ye would trouble himself with me for a dog? Haha, you are too naive!"

Li Ruoxuan looked at Shi Tou in confusion: "Who is Mr. Ye?"

She understood that both Zhao Wuji and Shi Tou seem to have immense respect and even fear toward this Mr. Ye.

Moreover, she seemed to have heard Shi Tou call Ye Guichen Mr. Ye before?

Is Ye Guichen Mr. Ye?

Li Ruoxuan smiled bitterly and quickly dismissed her thoughts.

It's impossible. Even if Ye Guichen's medical skills are exceptional, how could he make Zhao Wuji so fearful?

Shi Tou didn't respond to Li Ruoxuan, a touch of desolation flashing across his face, but he still smiled: "Boss Zhao, for us, Mr. Ye is like a heavenly figure. Perhaps we are indeed mere ants in his eyes, but I believe Mr. Ye is a person who values relationships and loyalty. If he truly doesn't care, then I'll accept my fate. Today, deal with me as you wish."

"Haha, such wishful thinking!" Zhao Wuji suddenly relaxed.

He had thought Shi Tou's relationship with Ye Guichen was solid, but from Shi Tou's words, it was clear Shi Tou was only clinging to a thread of hope.

"Alright, I'll give you half an hour. If Mr. Ye really comes, then it's your lucky day. If not, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Zhao Wuji sat down again.

Although he appeared calm, he was a bit anxious inside.

He only knew Ye Guichen could fight, with extraordinary skills, but had no idea about Ye Guichen's nature.

If Ye Guichen really comes, how should he handle it?

"He shouldn't trouble me for a dead person, right?" Now that Black Panther is dead, very few people in Yun City can hold their ground. If Ye Guichen targets me, it would be a significant loss for him.

"Right, to stabilize the situation, the guy named Ye definitely won't target me!"

Thinking about this possibility, Zhao Wuji felt a wave of relief.

At the same time, Ye Guichen slowly opened his eyes.

Since Mi Lan and Chen Ziran stayed together last night, he didn't return but slept in the half-mountain villa Blood Rose bought for him.

The sunlight was strong, but Ye Guichen rarely slept in.

When he opened his eyes, Blood Rose was standing at the doorway, wearing sexy sleepwear, gazing at him affectionately.

Seeing Ye Guichen awake, Blood Rose quickly brought breakfast forward, placing it respectfully by the bedside, kneeling like a maid: "Boss, you seem exhausted. Yun City is too small for you. If you are really tired, just tell the brothers, and we can easily handle everything?"

As she spoke, a hint of grievance flashed in Blood Rose's eyes.

Ye Guichen glanced coldly at Blood Rose: "Mind your own business. I didn't keep you in Yun City to hear your opinions."

Upon hearing this, Blood Rose hurriedly lowered her head: "I understand. The brothers are all envious knowing you are in Yun City, but what's so special about Chen Ziran or Mi Lan to make you exert so much effort?"

"Listen well, one more word and you leave Yun City." Ye Guichen sat up, "Help me get dressed."

Upon hearing about leaving Yun City, Blood Rose dared not say another word.

Though others regarded her highly, Blood Rose knew that serving by Ye Guichen's side was her greatest honor.

Across the world, whether it's the hundreds of brothers and sisters of the Heavenly God Temple or various national leaders, many dreamt of being close to Ye Guichen, even if it's just as a small follower, which would be an immense honor.

Now, she has become the object of envy.

This opportunity was bestowed upon her by heaven; how could Blood Rose bear to give it up?

"I apologize." Blood Rose quickly picked up Ye Guichen's clothes, helping him dress, feeling a rush of excitement when touching Ye Guichen's skin.

But Blood Rose dared not have any thoughts about Ye Guichen.

She knew that someone like Ye Guichen would not even glance at the princess of the world's leading financial group.

Without his word, which woman in the world could catch his eye?

At this moment, Ye Guichen's phone rang.

Blood Rose quickly picked it up and respectfully placed it in Ye Guichen's hand.

Ye Guichen opened it, his face turning somber: "Let's go, take me to the Crown Hotel."
