Chapter 425: Dressing up (Second Update)_1
Just as the two were about to leave the break room, Ye Xiong had a sudden inspiration and said, “Hold on.”
“What’s wrong?” Phoenix asked curiously.
“If I’m not mistaken, Long Lan must be lurking around, monitoring our every move. She knows full well that Ye Tongtong is no match for but still sent her to kill . There’s only one reason for that—the plan is to prompt my transformation to kill Ye Tongtong and then take the opportunity to kill when I suffer the genetic consequences.”
“So you want to turn her plan against her and lure her out?” Phoenix asked.
Ye Xiong nodded, “In a mont, I’ll let out a Beast Roar, then pretend to be fighting soone. Afterwards, you help out. If Long Lan is hiding sowhere, she’ll definitely think I’ve transford and will co out to kill .”
“Then let’s do that,” Phoenix agreed.
...
Ye Xiong sank his energy to his Dantian and let out a roar with his inner strength through his mouth, just like the sound he made after a transformation.
Then, he vigorously smashed things inside, creating loud thuds against the wall. After the noise had carried afar, he stopped and said to Phoenix, “Co on!”
“What for?”
“Help out!”
“Can’t you walk?”
“It seems you don’t realize how severe my genetic consequences are at the mont. Last ti in the provincial city, after killing Kassoff, I had only transford for a few seconds, but I almost couldn’t walk afterwards. If I can still walk now, do you think Long Lan would be fooled?”
Finally, Phoenix understood why this guy was so excited when he suggested the plan earlier—because he’d already preditated it all.
“What are you waiting for, hurry up,” Ye Xiong urged.
A twitch crossed Phoenix’s lips as she walked over.
Ye Xiong clutched her neck with one hand, pressing his body close to hers.
Back during their ti in Dragon Group, Phoenix had been the object of Ye Xiong’s erotic fantasies. He didn’t know how many boring nights he had spent stripping her of her clothes countless tis with the power of his imagination.
Unfortunately, Phoenix, the first belle of Dragon Group, had never shown any interest in him.
Every ti he saw her, Ye Xiong couldn’t help but flirt, for which he didn’t know how many tis he’d been confined to the punishnt cell.
“What are you doing?” Phoenix snapped, clearly annoyed.
It was bad enough that his body was pressed against hers, but why was his face moving closer?
“An accident, just a mishap,” he said.
Ye Xiong quickly moved a bit further away, not daring to act rashly again.
The last ti he offended Phoenix, she gave him the cold shoulder for over a month. He vividly rembered that incident and didn’t want to make the sa mistake again.
With Phoenix’s assistance, the two of them walked out.
Phoenix wasn’t tall, standing at about 1.68 ters, but her figure was very slender. The golden ratio of her body was quite appealing, making her appear slightly taller than her actual height at first glance.
Her hair was cut in a bob that reached her ears, black and lustrous, just covering half of her ear. This style made her look efficient and decisive.
Ye Xiong’s right hand rested on her shoulder; with their shoulders pressed together, he was close enough to catch a faint scent from her.
It seed like a mix of perfu and body fragrance.
He examined Phoenix up close and noticed her skin was in great condition. Although it wasn’t as pale as the typical office manager, her complexion was healthy and flawless. The pores of her skin were very delicate, giving it the appearance of being quite elastic.
Ye Xiong stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch her cheek to see if it was as elastic as he guessed.
As soon as he reached out, Phoenix’s phoenix eyes glared at him, sending him a ‘try it and see what happens’ warning look.
“There’s so dust on your hair,” he said.
Without a change in expression, Ye Xiong reached toward her hair and lightly patted it a few tis before saying nonchalantly, “Let’s go!”
Little rascal, can’t I still fool you?
Phoenix actually let him deceive her, halfway believing him, and refrained from blowing her top.
Leaving the break room behind, they walked towards the outside.
During this ti, Ye Xiong had been pretending to be powerless, and his act was very convincing.
But as the two of them walked all the way down from the third floor, Long Lan still did not appear.
“Could it be that we guessed wrong, and she’s not nearby at all?” Ye Xiong whispered.
“It’s hard to say.”
“Is it because we’re not acting convincingly enough?”
Just then, Ye Xiong’s phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
“You’re acting quite convincingly.”
It was Long Lan’s familiar voice on the other end of the call.
Ye Xiong straightened up and looked around, but he didn’t see Long Lan.
“Stop looking, you won’t be able to find even if you keep trying.”
From her words, Ye Xiong could tell that Long Lan was hiding nearby and watching him like a hawk.
“How could you tell?” Ye Xiong asked.
“I didn’t see, I heard,” Long Lan laughed heartily, explaining, “I planted a bug on Ye Tongtong and knew everything.”
Ye Xiong hadn’t expected this move from her, and he no longer needed to pretend, so he stood straight up.
“Long Lan, what exactly do you want?”
“I want you.”
Ye Xiong: “…”
“Before, I thought Chun Peng was pretty good, but ever since I t you, I’ve realized you’re the most powerful young man I’ve ever seen. I can’t even count how many of our Beast Organization’s elites you’ve taken down. I began to realize that I might have feelings for you. I should hate you, but I just can’t seem to manage it.”
Ye Xiong: “…”
“How about this, if you join the Beast Organization, I’ll talk to my father and let bygones be bygones. Rest assured, once you join the Beast Organization, you’ll find that here, you can have everything you want, including gold, power, influence, and won,” Long Lan said with a laugh.
“The woman you’re talking about, that wouldn’t be you, would it?”
“If you like, I’m available anyti you want.”
“I’m afraid that seeing you would leave limp.”
Long Lan: “…”
“Reaper, I’ve said what I needed to say. If you insist on being an enemy of the Beast Organization, your end will be very miserable.”
“I’m waiting.”
After hanging up the call, Ye Xiong found Phoenix staring at him, her face and neck flushed with a mix of sha and anger.
“Talking so lewdly with an enemy, do you even qualify as a man?” Phoenix angrily said.
“If you want to verify whether I’m a man, be my guest,” Ye Xiong asked with a smile.
“Get lost.”
Ye Xiong called Murong Ruyin and learned that she had already returned ho with Yang Dingguo and his family, along with Yang Yueru and Su Zhentian, to help treat Yang Xinyi.
Afterward, Ye Xiong and Phoenix split up. Phoenix stayed behind to wait for Dragon Group’s people to take Ye Tongtong away, while Ye Xiong hurried to Yang Yueru’s house.
Upon returning to Yang Yueru’s house, Ye Xiong found Yang Dingguo and his wife, Yang Yueru, and Su Zhentian all present, their brows deeply furrowed, looking very worried.
The door to the room was tightly closed; Murong Ruyin was presumably inside, helping treat Yang Xinyi.
An hour later, Murong Ruyin finally ca out.
“Ruyin, how did it go?” Ye Xiong asked anxiously.
