"Wife, haven’t I always leaned on you as my mountain? I’m your husband, and you must cover for me." Xiao Yifeng said, gripping Ye Yaxin’s hand and not letting go.
"Let go! I’m not your wife; you’re just my fiancé!"
Ye Yaxin’s face turned cold as she hummed directly in response.
What Ye Yaxin hadn’t expected was that this shameless guy would actually let go, and then his entire figure vanished in an instant, leaving her in a state of shock.
"What is this guy trying to do?"
Ye Yaxin wore a puzzled and incomprehensible expression on her face.
Mo Shuqian, who was talking to someone in the distance, also changed countenance upon seeing Xiao Yifeng disappear.
At this moment, all members of the Yang Family had gathered at the celebration venue ahead, making the rest of the place very quiet, with only a few scattered guards patrolling.
The villas inside the Yang Family estate were built resplendently and grandly, with a large number of Yang Family guards carrying batons inside and outside one of the villas. The entire building was constructed like a labyrinth, giving one the feeling of being unable to find the way.
At this time, a woman dressed in a black tight-fitting leather outfit silently infiltrated the deeper reaches of a villa in the Yang Family estate.
She moved along the villa’s walls as stealthily as a gecko.
The guards in the villa were completely unaware of the woman’s presence, which spoke volumes of her formidable strength; she was none other than Mo Shumei, who had come to the Yang family’s celebration party today.
In the blink of an eye, Mo Shumei arrived at a secluded corridor on the fourth floor. Here, four guards wearing black suits and wielding batons watched their surroundings vigilantly.
Mo Shumei lay flat against the ceiling of the fourth floor, with her arms stretched out and dressed in her black leather outfit, resembling a bat.
The four guards had no inkling of the impending danger, nor did they suspect someone could be above their heads.
Watching the four men, Mo Shumei’s eyes narrowed, a sharp intent to kill flashed in her gaze!
Mo Shumei clapped her hands together and leapt down, landing right in front of two guards. A chilling dagger appeared at her wrist and she slashed across the guards’ faces.
A gleam of cold light appeared, and without any warning, the two guards collapsed onto the floor, blood splattering from their throats, their eyes wide open in death.
Only then did the remaining two realize that Death God had arrived, just as they were about to act.
But Mo Shumei didn’t give them any chance. She flicked her other wrist and a dagger shot out instantly, piercing the throat of the third guard, who fell down with his eyes bulging.
The last one had just opened his lips, about to call out, when Mo Shumei stepped forward and grabbed his throat, making his face turn red without being able to utter a sound.
Then, with a soft thud, Mo Shumei’s dagger had already pierced through his body, piercing his heart. His life force was fading, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
In less than ten seconds, Mo Shumei had dealt with all four guards cleanly and without alerting anyone else in the villa.
After dealing with the four men, Mo Shuqian approached a special metal coded door at the end of the corridor. She took out a device and fiddled with it.
In just a few seconds, the coded door was opened, and she flashed inside.
The room looked like a study. Mo Shumei surveyed the area briefly, quickly approaching a bookshelf filled with thick volumes.
Mo Shumei rummaged around above and suddenly, when she picked up a book, the bookshelf made a clicking sound and slowly moved aside, revealing the wall behind it.
In the wall was a safe, and Mo Shumei took out a glow pen and shone it on the numeric keypad. Several of the keys bore marks. Following these, she pressed them directly, and the safe opened.
Inside the safe was a single item—a green stone disk!
Indeed, it was the green stone disk that had appeared several times before, with its peculiarly intricate patterns radiating an aura of ancient simplicity.
Seeing this green stone disk, Mo Shumei’s face lit up with joy and she grabbed the disk. But at that moment, an alarm bell started ringing.
"Damn, someone has broken in!"
The Yang Family’s guards inside and outside the villa all changed their expressions and sprang into action.
At the celebration hotel’s event, Yang Huaimin was talking with Mayor Shen and a few others when a Yang Family guard ran over in a haste, whispering a few words in Yang Huaimin’s ear, causing his face to turn pale instantly.
"Mayor Shen, I’m sorry, I must excuse myself."
Yang Huaimin apologized and quickly left the place.
In the study, as the alarm bell went off, Mo Shumei’s expression darkened. She was ready to leave with the green stone disk when a figure suddenly appeared—it was Xiao Yifeng.
"It’s you!" Seeing Xiao Yifeng, Mo Shumei’s expression changed.
"If you don’t want to get caught, come with me!"
Xiao Yifeng said, grabbed Mo Shumei’s hand, and rushed toward the outside.
At that moment, a group of Yang Family guards charged into the room. Xiao Yifeng moved swiftly and quickly took down the group of men.
Then, the two ducked into another room, opened the window, and without waiting for Mo Shumei to react, Xiao Yifeng hugged her and jumped out from the third-story window.
They landed on the ground with ease, and Mo Shumei was still in Xiao Yifeng’s arms, her breathing slightly rapid.
"Let me go!" Mo Shumei quickly said.
Xiao Yifeng then let her go but snatched the green stone disk from her hands in the process.
Upon losing the disk, Mo Shumei’s expression changed, and she shouted fiercely, "Give me the disk back!"
"Beauty, it seems thing isn’t yours, is it? So, if you can take it, so can I. Why should I give it back to you?"
Xiao Yifeng held the green stone disk in his hand, the corner of his mouth curling into a mischievous smile.
"This thing is useless to you. You’d be better off trading it and not inviting a deadly fate!"
Mo Shumei’s expression darkened, her eyes flashing with a cold light.
"I might return it to you, but first, tell me what exactly is this."
Xiao Yifeng shook the green stone disk in his hand and looked at Mo Shumei.
"Mr. Xiao, finding out is quite simple, but this isn’t the place to talk. We should leave to avoid the Yang Family catching on. Let’s keep the green stone disk with you for now, and we can talk more about it later."
Then another voice sounded, as Mo Shuqian’s figure approached, her expression calm as she looked at Xiao Yifeng.
