"Marshal, why ask when you already know the answer?" The other party said casually, "Give me the Taiji Seal, and I won't make things difficult for her!"
Ye Xunhuan sneered, "Do you think that's possible?"
"Marshal, you don't care about her life?"
"If you're going to kidnap someone, make sure it's someone useful next time!" Ye Xunhuan said blandly, "You know what kind of person I am. Do you think someone like me needs friends?"
"Or do you think I casually consider someone a friend?"
The other party instantly fell silent.
Seeing no reaction for a long time, Ye Xunhuan spoke again, "A friendly reminder, she's a dual agent, from both National Security and Hidden Dragon, sent to keep an eye on me!"
"If you could get rid of her, I'd thank you, but beware of National Security and Hidden Dragon!"
"Marshal, you really don't care about her fate?"
"If you feel like killing her, go ahead!"
With that, Ye Xunhuan hung up the phone without giving the other party a chance to speak.
After hanging up, Ye Xunhuan's face was filled with gravity.
He had just parted ways with Wu Mei less than ten minutes ago, and now Wu Mei was in the hands of the enemy. Doesn't that imply someone is watching him secretly, or maybe there's a group lurking around the villa closely monitoring everything!
Thinking of this, Ye Xunhuan felt a heavy weight in his heart.
Just after Ye Xunhuan hung up the phone, Qiu Ruoxi couldn't help but ask softly, "Did something happen?"
Just now, when Ye Xunhuan took the call, he hadn't avoided Qiu Ruoxi, so she heard the whole conversation clearly.
Although she wasn't sure what exactly happened, Qiu Ruoxi knew it was related to someone's life.
Ye Xunhuan glanced at Qiu Ruoxi and slowly said, "Wu Mei has fallen into someone else's hands."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Ruoxi was slightly startled, and a look of surprise crossed her face, "Wu Mei has fallen into someone else's hands?"
Ye Xunhuan nodded heavily.
"Then why did you just now..."
Ye Xunhuan anticipated what Qiu Ruoxi wanted to say, interrupting her before she could finish, "If I hadn't said it like that, Wu Mei would be in even more danger!"
Ye Xunhuan also didn't want to speak that way, but if he showed even a hint of concern, the other party would make a big deal out of it, and Wu Mei would truly be in danger.
Now, by completely portraying an indifferent attitude while also informing the other party that Wu Mei is from National Security and Hidden Dragon, if they harm her, even without him saying it, they would surely understand the consequences.
Under such circumstances, these people would definitely hesitate, not daring to harm Wu Mei's life!
After all, this is Huaxia, and Wu Mei is someone from National Security and Hidden Dragon.
Though Hidden Dragon is a national organization, you can't deny its strength. They don't meddle in the underworld but guard Huaxia's foundation.
And there's a national guardian behind Hidden Dragon, so if you upset them, the consequences are unimaginable.
"So you're not concerned about her fate?" Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan and softly asked.
"Wife, do you want me to save her or not?" Ye Xunhuan asked, staring at Qiu Ruoxi.
Stumped by his question, Qiu Ruoxi stammered, "Why are you asking me..."
"I'm worried if I save her, you'll think there's something between me and Wu Mei, and this would be the classic 'hero saves the beauty' scenario!" Ye Xunhuan said calmly, "It's said that the 'hero saves the beauty' trope is old, but it's always most lethal to women. What if she accidentally falls for me, wouldn't that just annoy you?"
"Besides, they probably wouldn't dare to kill Wu Mei..."
Hearing Ye Xunhuan's nonsense, Qiu Ruoxi felt speechless inside.
"To avoid making you upset or unhappy, I think I'll just sleep..."
"Are you saying if something happens to Wu Mei, it's my fault for being petty..." Qiu Ruoxi stared at Ye Xunhuan, a bit displeased.
"You jerk, that's exactly what you mean!" Qiu Ruoxi said angrily, "Go save her, stop with the nonsense..."
"But what if she falls for me..."
"Can you have some shame?" Qiu Ruoxi snorted.
Though Qiu Ruoxi is disgusted by the various women around Ye Xunhuan, wanting to get rid of them, when it comes to life and death, this outspoken yet soft-hearted woman couldn't stand seeing them harmed!
Like Wu Mei, for instance.
Qiu Ruoxi might not know the exact relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei, but Wu Mei had helped them twice before. Now that Wu Mei was in trouble, and connected to Ye Xunhuan, her first instinct was to save her.
But this jerk Ye Xunhuan came up with a whole load of nonsense, shirking the responsibility of saving her onto Qiu Ruoxi.
"Hurry up and go save her, stop dawdling around!"
"Do I really have to go save her?"
"What if someone kills her?"
"Alright, I'll go, but if something happens, you can't blame me..."
"You're worse than a woman with all this fuss!" Qiu Ruoxi grumbled impatiently.
"Then I'm really going..."
"I'm going right now!" Ye Xunhuan quickly said.
With that, Ye Xunhuan got up and walked out.
Just then, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly spoke again, "Do you know where they are?"
"Of course I have my ways!" Ye Xunhuan gave Qiu Ruoxi a mysterious smile and left the bedroom.
Seeing the mysterious smile on Ye Xunhuan's face, Qiu Ruoxi was momentarily stunned.
But the next moment, as if realizing something, a cold look appeared on Qiu Ruoxi's pretty face, "Ye Xunhuan, you jerk, playing tricks on me again..."
Before, Qiu Ruoxi hadn't thought much of it, but upon seeing the mysterious smile on Ye Xunhuan's face, she suddenly realized something was off. After thinking it through, Qiu Ruoxi immediately sensed that Ye Xunhuan was tricking her.
This jerk doesn't actually refuse to save her; he wants to save her but intentionally made her say it. So whatever happens afterwards, it has nothing to do with him.
After all, it was Qiu Ruoxi who asked Ye Xunhuan to save her!
In fact, that's exactly what Ye Xunhuan intended.
He's not indifferent to Wu Mei's fate; he's worried about how Qiu Ruoxi might react later, so he set up this trick, making Qiu Ruoxi ask him to save her!
Ye Xunhuan didn't leave the villa openly, as he didn't know if someone was secretly watching him.
If he left and someone attacked the villa, it would be disastrous, especially with Olivia no longer there!
This time, Ye Xunhuan slipped away using his ghostly steps, like a phantom, quickly disappearing from the villa!
After leaving the villa, he immediately dialed Liu Qingcheng's number!
The call was connected instantly.
As soon as the call connected, Liu Qingcheng's ethereal and gentle voice reached Ye Xunhuan's ears, "Xunhuan, calling me so late, is there something up?"
