Chapter 705: 654
“You know everything, so why are you still giving him a hard ti?” Guo Bin wondered.
“I’m not looking for Xiao Yi, it doesn’t matter to whether he’s Xiao Yi or Li Xiao, I don’t care about that. I’m looking for the person behind the scenes. Don’t worry, I won’t ask you who it is, I’ll find him on my own.”
“Yeah, you can find him.” Guo Bin smiled.
“Exactly! I definitely will. Can I ask you that question now?”
“Ask.”
“Did you guys buy that sword?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Let’s set off.” Ye Tian led the way forward.
“The gate isn’t over there.” Guo Bin stopped Ye Tian.
“I just want to take a stroll, just strolling… Hahaha…”
Chen Yuan’s territory was in a corner of the city, surrounded by small buildings that looked like mini fortresses.
“This guy, he really lives cautiously.” Ye Tian laughed, unabashedly.
“Yeah. I think he has already brought Bai Yanwu here.”
“I don’t think so. Chen Yuan is so cunning, how could he possibly bring Bai Yanwu back to his own base? I bet it’s in the most inconspicuous place, and there might already be an ambush waiting for us here.” Ye Tian’s mind raced, and he suddenly didn’t want Guo Bin to join him in rescuing Bai Yanwu.
Ye Tian had never dealt with Chen Yuan before, so he didn’t know what kind of person Chen Yuan really was, so this ambush was just sothing he made up to buy ti for his own investigation that night.
Bai Yanwu and he were not very close, and n and won think differently; he had doubted Bai Yanwu’s words from yesterday, wondering if it was a ploy, but he chose to believe her.
“Alright then, let’s not go there for now. We’ll check out other places.” Guo Bin knew his mind wasn’t as quick as Ye Tian’s, so for now, he planned to listen to him.
That night, Ye Tian didn’t act with Guo Bin; he said he wanted to go ho to rest, and Guo Bin agreed.
Ye Tian went ho, didn’t rest, but instead left with Yu Xiao. Although this kid lacked practical experience, having a helper was better than none, and this kind of experience, Ye Tian had plenty of—fighting. How could he accumulate it if not through fighting? Isn’t that how he had gradually grown stronger?
“You’re up in the middle of the night, not sleeping, planning to be a thief?” Yu Xiao seed puzzled but was more excited.
“We are going to be thieves. Are you coming?”
“I am, I am! What are we going to steal?”
“Won!”
“Won? Then I’m not going!” Yu Xiao abruptly stopped, “I don’t want to steal a person.”
“Huh?” Ye Tian found Yu Xiao a bit baffling.
“I like Aunt Yiqian, I can’t do the sa as you, stealing won. You go ahead. Don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone.”
“Co on!” Ye Tian was speechless, “We’re going to rescue soone, a woman who has been drugged and taken away. She might be in trouble right now; we’re going to rescue her.”
“Where are we rescuing her from? Why did you say we are stealing people then?”
“She’s now in soone else’s ho, we can’t let them know, we have to sneak her out, is that not considered stealing people?”
“It is.” After thinking it over, Yu Xiao affirmatively answered.
Ye Tian felt like howling at the sky, what kind of people are these? Why does he always co across such eccentrics? Can’t there be anyone normal? Can there not?
After much consideration, Chen Yuan’s most likely hiding spot was still his ho. Since it was said that he was cunning, then he must have also thought that others might guess he hid Bai Yanwu elsewhere. So, he would do the opposite and hide her right in his own ho.
Outside of Chen Yuan’s house, Ye Tian encountered Guo Bin!
“You’ve gone ho to sleep, haven’t you?” Guo Bin asked Ye Tian.
“Heh heh, I’m still not at ease, so I decided to bring a kid along to investigate further.” Ye Tian chuckled dryly.
“I’ve checked, Bai Yanwu should be inside.” Guo Bin knew that Ye Tian hadn’t completely trusted him, and of course, his presence now indicated that he didn’t fully trust Ye Tian either.
“Alright. Let’s go in and have a look, then. Yu Xiao, you okay with this?” Ye Tian asked Yu Xiao.
“Are you talking about this wall?” Yu Xiao glanced at it.
“Mhm.”
“The walls at my place are much higher than this one.” Yu Xiao seed indifferent.
The three of them steeled their nerves, lightly touched their toes to the ground, and found themselves inside the courtyard. Unexpectedly, inside it was as bright as day; they were caught red-handed as the enemy opened their doors to welco them.
“At this late hour, it isn’t very nice to climb over walls to enter,” said Ye Tian, seeing Chen Yuan for the first ti. He looked very much like Chen Guang, but his eyes twinkled with a scheming light.
“Heh heh, we didn’t want to, it’s just that today you ambushed Xiao Yi and took away my woman; I don’t think that’s very nice either,” Ye Tian said to Chen Yuan.
“I only know that Bai Yanwu is Xiao Yi’s old fla; I just didn’t expect her to be Ye Tian’s person now. Seems like my information isn’t very updated,” said Chen Yuan.
“That ans you’re admitting that you’re the one who wounded Xiao Yi?” Guo Bin’s face darkened.
“Yes, what about it? We all need to be careful and walk on eggshells in our line of work. Xiao Yi has been crossing the line lately. I don’t care about his internal strife, but when he took down Bai Shi, I couldn’t stand by any longer.” Chen Yuan was clear that this young man had big ambitions. He wanted to control the entire city.
“So you’re saying, if it’s about Bai Shi, you could have acted sooner or later, but speaking up only now, doesn’t that seem a bit forced?” Guo Bin replied, “That woman, Sun Yue, I never should have been soft-hearted and let her go. Is she in Master Chen’s embrace now?”
“Yes,” as the voice appeared, so did Sun Yue, “Guo Bin, thank you for not killing , but not doing so was definitely your biggest mistake.”
“Is that so?” Out of nowhere, Guo Bin threw the dagger in his hand, which went straight into Sun Yue’s forehead.
Sun Yue, who had been speaking monts ago, had fallen down.
“Ah!” It was Yu Xiao’s first ti witnessing a murder, and she couldn’t help but cry out.
“Are you guys out of people, bringing soone who has seen nothing?” Chen Yuan didn’t even glance at Sun Yue, instead looking at Yu Xiao with a smile.
“I’ve never seen murder, but I’ve seen plenty of ghosts!” Yu Xiao quickly recovered, determined not to embarrass herself. In the future, she was sure to witness far more brutal scenes than this.
“Kid, don’t speak too arrogantly!”
“Then try . Right, you can’t find any ghosts!” Yu Xiao said triumphantly.
“So what does Master Chen an? How does holding Bai Yanwu benefit you?”
“The benefit is, as long as she’s in my hands, we won’t be hurt by Xiao Yi. Right now, your power is indeed the strongest, I admit that, and I need to find myself a protective talisman. That’s Bai Yanwu.”
“But Master Chen, you were quite forceful today, looking to take Xiao Yi’s life,” said Ye Tian with a smile.
“People make mistakes sotis, don’t they?”
“Master Chen, how about we negotiate a deal?”
“What kind of deal? Who are you? Do you think you can make decisions for Xiao Yi?”
“Of course! Because I’m trying to save his woman, and you know Bai Yanwu is very important to him. How do you know he won’t agree with ?”
“Good! Since nothing’s happening today, I’ll listen to what you have to say.”
Ye Tian looked around and couldn’t help but laugh.
“You don’t seem to have the intention to negotiate; we’re standing while you sit comfortably. Isn’t that unfair? Shouldn’t you share so of the good wine on your table with us? We’re out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping, not to stand around for you!”
