Ye Ningyuan tucked his lips tightly and did not say a word. An Xunuo, seemingly realizing sothing, remained quiet throughout.
As they remained silent throughout, the car entered the highway and sirens blared in the direction of the Sophie Vasi. The fire brigade and ard police were all in force since everybody thought that a massive firefight among the triads had taken place.
Ye Ningyuan’s thoughts were too scrambled, and he stopped his car by the roadside before he suddenly hit the steering wheel with both his hands. ‘Damn it, Hailan, where are you?’ To Third Young Master Ye and Ye Ningyuan, Ye Hailan’s presence was a special presence as she had the ability to freely travel around the world and had mysterious and powerful abilities that no mortal n could stand against. Whenever Third Young Master Ye or Ye Ningyuan encountered trouble, Ye Hailan ca to their minds.
They had never thought of how Hailan would et with a mishap soday.
“Did sothing happen to your younger sister?” An Xunuo felt Ye Ningyuan’s anxiousness and gently asked. Sensing that Ye Ningyuan did not want to say anything, An Xunuo tucked her lips and turned away. Even the sky over xico City was overcast and gloomy.
An Xunuo closed her eyes and clenched her fists. For once, she was lost for words, and heart-wrenching pain and regret crept into her heart. Ye Ningyuan took out his cell phone and called White Tiger. “White Tiger, have n search the Sophie Vasi and check the bodies to see if Ye Hailan’s body is amongst them.”
As the old statent crashed onto An Xunuo’s heart, she looked at Ye Ningyuan who still remained as calm as though nothing had happened. She did not know how he felt when he said ‘bodies’, and she had never seen him this solemn before.
His hands and the steering wheel were covered with An Xunuo’s blood, and she felt her heart ache. If anything happened to Hailan, even her thousands of deaths would make no andnt.
Ye Ningyuan’s despondent voice seemingly rang in her ears. He said that he had already lost Nuo Nuo and could not afford to lose her. He told her to give him a chance, and he would make it all up to her.
Recalling it now, it was nothing short of very wishful thinking, full of agony.
An Xunuo looked down and gently smiled. People like her should not have happiness or expectations. What was she looking forward to? She wore a necklace he gave, and she hated her amnesiac self despite clearly rembering her interactions with him. She, in her foolishness, wanted to take a gamble. If Ye Ningyuan left peacefully, she would wreck all the information she gathered about him, along with her honor, mission, and promise to her father. If Ye Ningyuan died... heh. She was weird in the sense she never expected Ye Ningyuan to die.
In her mory, he was a man who would succeed whenever he put his mind to it. She hence never thought of him dying. When he was about to be shot, her heart acted ahead of her body and she quickly leaped before him. She knew that bullet would take his life.
But she had no regrets.
She wondered if she loved him way more than she had thought. If it weren’t the case, why would she give her all to protect him? Given Ye Ningyuan’s skill, he definitely would have been able to sense the danger. Even if he couldn’t have dodged the bullet, the bullet would not have hit his vitals.
She knew way better than anybody else but still took the bullet for him.
In the end, she could not bear to see him hurt.
She must have been mad!
“Ye Ningyuan, I am sorry!” An Xunuo’s head ached for whatever reason. Ye Hailan’s spiritual powers not only healed her wounds but all her past injuries.
Including her mory.
Just as her head sharply ached, so bloody images flashed through her, bringing her agonizing pain. She did not know what to do with the pain.
“Xunuo, I received a call when I was on my way to the Sophie Vasi,” Ye Ningyuan plainly said. An Xunuo felt her heart jolt when he slowly turned around and looked at An Xunuo calmly. “Do you want to guess what that person told ?”
An Xunuo remained expressionless. Her clenched fists gave away how she felt. Did Ye Ningyuan learn of it?
“You learned that the Top Terrorist Organization had a hand in your daddy’s, Michael’s, death and you hence wanted dead. Is that correct?”
Ye Ningyuan was telling the truth, and An Xunuo could not say anything in return. When the Michael incident occurred, Ye Ningyuan was actually not in the know about it. Xu Mingyang once sought assistance from the Top Terrorist Organization’s intelligence departnt to have them provide him intelligence. Ye Ningyuan was in City A back then, and Xu Mingyang’s mission was a small mission that was not under Azure Dragon’s jurisdiction. So intelligence team leader in the Top Terrorist Organization accepted the mission, investigated Michael, and provided intelligence on it. This hence caused the Michael incident to blow up so quickly and led to his extrely quick death. Ye Ningyuan then learned about what had happened after his investigations and was hence exceptionally nice toward An Xunuo.
Given how huge the Top Terrorist Organization’s intelligence departnt was, not to ntion the huge number of routine tasks it had to manage, Ye Ningyuan and Azure Dragon could not check in on all tasks. Only tasks with certain significance would reach Ye Ningyuan’s table, and everything else was handled by the ten intelligence team leaders under Azure Dragon who just had to make a final report.
It was not the first ti London sought help from the Top Terrorist Organization. Since the Top Terrorist Organization had very good ties with London, they did not go the whole nine yards during regular governnt requests for intelligence. The Top Terrorist Organization would typically accept tasks from London, and the Michael incident was no exception. To the Top Terrorist Organization, the Michael incident was a small incident that would not have startled Azure Dragon if An Xunuo and Ye Ningyuan did not have such an amorous relationship.
An Xunuo felt that the Top Terrorist Organization was clearly at fault. However, even if the Top Terrorist Organization’s intelligence departnt was not involved, others would have been able to dig out all there was to Michael.
It was rely a matter of ti.
If it had been a few days later, An Xunuo would have returned to London and relocated Michael so that this catastrophe could be avoided. Thanks to the Top Terrorist Organization’s involvent, Michael died earlier and An Xunuo was caught off-guard.
If she hated him, he had nothing against that.
He was always of the opinion that An Xunuo was seeking revenge out of said incident. When she was with him, she had gathered much intelligence. Ye Ningyuan clearly knew but feigned ignorance of it and indulged her. He wanted to take a gamble on An Xunuo’s viciousness. Would she be vicious enough to take his life? If the information she gathered were to be presented to the anti-terrorist groups, he would be in much trouble as she had gathered almost all the information on this weapons deal.
They flirted so ti ago, but he knew too well how sincere and how fake they were. Despite that, he opted to acquiesce to her as he felt that An Xunuo could not bear to.
Little did he expect that she was not out for revenge. She had another identity: the overall team leader of the international anti-terrorist special forces team.
