89: Chapter 84: The Thoughts of the King of Hell 89: Chapter 84: The Thoughts of the King of Hell Outside the villa.
Watching the direction the shadow had fled, Ye Tian furrowed his brows.
Everything that had happened tonight felt somewhat off to him, and he was now curious about the person who might be surveilling him.
What kind of person could possess such underlings?
After a moment of thought, Ye Tian turned and went back into the villa.
Picking up his cellphone from the bed, he dialed a number.
“Boss, is there something you need?” The call connected immediately, and Ye Ying’s voice came through.
“I’m asking you, have you found the person I told you to look for?” Ye Tian asked directly, some questions needing urgent clarifications, otherwise, he would always feel uneasy.
“Not yet, but I’m working hard on it,” Ye Ying answered, his voice tinged with nervousness because he hadn’t been looking at all; he had completely neglected the task Ye Tian had entrusted to him.
“Then keep looking, and don’t be useless,” Ye Tian said coldly, frustrated with the prolonged search and starting to see his underling as becoming worthless, “Also, check if there’s been any skilled hider who has recently come to Jiangcheng.”
“Alright,” Ye Ying exhaled with relief.
“Hmm, don’t disappoint me; you’re my most trusted underling,” Ye Tian said before hanging up the phone.
After the call, Ye Ying sat pondering for some time, and then directly dialed another number.
What is it?” As the call connected, a cold voice asked.
“King of Hell, it seems Ye Tian is onto something new,” Ye Ying said into the phone, his tone servile.
What new thing is he up to?” The King of Hell inquired with a frown.
“Here’s the thing,” Ye Ying began, “He just asked me about a task and also asked me to investigate whether someone skilled in hiding has recently come to Jiangcheng.
It feels like he’s up to something.”
“Oh,” The King of Hell nodded, seemingly unconcerned about the first part but more curious about the last part, “A person skilled in hiding?
It looks like he has discovered the existence of ‘Shadow.’
Thinking it through, he was surprised.
Shadow was sent by him, and according to his understanding of Ye Tian, it was improbable that Ye Tian could have discovered Shadow.
Could it be that there had been some significant advancement in these past days?
The King of Hell thought for a moment, then his mind raced to the crystal that had ended up in Ye Tian’s hands, “It seems the abilities of that crystal have made Ye Tian so much stronger in such a short time.”
Excitement surged through him, “But this is perfect; that should be mine anyway.
No matter what, I must take it back.”
“Ye Tian, you’re merely holding it for me temporarily.”
On the other end of the line, Ye Ying listened to the King of Hell’s soliloquy without further comment.
What did it matter to him if the big heads fought?
He was just a pawn, after all!
After receiving a couple more orders, the King of Hell hung up the phone.
In the silent room, he sat on a chair, a cold laugh emanating from him.
“Ye Tian, Ye Tian,” The King of Hell’s scarred face twisted with mockery, “You think I’m dead, but how could you imagine that I’m very much alive.”
He had barely finished speaking when the door to the room burst open, and the shadow stumbled in, clutching his stomach.
“I’ve been discovered,” he said, looking at the King of Hell with sweat beads the size of soybeans on his face.
“Ye Tian is just too terrifying.”
“Ye Ying has already told me,” the King of Hell nodded, a mocking smile on his face as he regarded the shadow’s disheveled appearance.
“So, Ye Tian took care of you?”
“Yeah,” the shadow’s face was filled with lingering fear.
“Ye Tian is just too scary; he just gave me one kick, and I ended up .”
The King of Hell had listened to the shadow’s account quite calmly, but hearing about the kick, he suddenly stood up with a start.
He took you down with just one kick?”
It seems the power of the crystal is not ordinary; the King of Hell thought to himself.
Even though the shadow was injured, it proved that all of Ye Tian’s progress was thanks to the crystal.
And the more powerful the crystal, the happier he was because, in the end, it all belonged to him.
“Heal your wound and continue to surveil Ye Tian,” the King of Hell said after some thought.
“But be careful; our plan is about to start.
If you’re discovered again, you won’t be able to come back alive.”
The shadow froze for a moment; frankly, he didn’t want to monitor Ye Tian anymore.
But there was no choice; the King of Hell had already spoken, and he had to go.
After acknowledging the order, clutching his stomach, the shadow staggered out of the room.
As for Ye Tian, after returning to the villa, he made a call to Ye Ying.
With nothing else to do, Ye Tian lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The night passed without incident.
In the morning, Ye Tian got up early, preparing a table full of breakfast for Yun Xinyan, a variety of delicious dishes available.
To the unaware, it looked more like a feast than a breakfast.
Ready to grab the chopsticks, but with wet hands, one fell beneath the sofa.
Ye Tian, resigned, bent over to retrieve it.
At the same time, Yun Xinyan came out, freshened up after washing, and walked out in her pajamas.
She glanced at the full breakfast table with a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.
However, looking toward the kitchen, she was puzzled because Yun Xinyan couldn’t find Ye Tian.
“Ye Tian?” Yun Xinyan called out, descending the stairs with a mix of confusion and calling his name, but found no sign of him after circling around.
That stinky guy just left.”
Yun Xinyan shook her head.
Yun Xinyan then decided not to fuss over Ye Tian’s absence, quickly took a shower, and devoured the food ravenously.
The exertion from the previous night’s activities with that animal, Ye Tian, and running around in the morning left Yun Xinyan starving.
After eating, Ye Tian chuckled, asking Yun Xinyan to wait a while, then washed the dishes.
Watching Ye Tian’s actions, Yun Xinyan couldn’t help but smile.
This guy is actually quite cute when he’s working.
Half an hour later, the pair arrived at the company together.
Taking advantage of the few people around, Ye Tian hurriedly got out of the car, followed by Yun Xinyan.
After reaching the security room, Ye Tian quickly changed clothes, then leisurely headed to work, looking very pleased with himself.
Before long, Ye Tian ran into Bai Lan.
She was still dressed in her impeccable professional attire, but today, she seemed quite happy, walking alone.
Her perfect and statuesque figure made numerous male colleagues swallow their saliva.
Ye Tian chuckled to himself and walked up to her slowly.
