Chapter 169: Chapter 169 Dragon Soul"Friend, thank you for taking care of Lanlan recently, but as of today, please move out. I don’t want my girlfriend to have anything to do with another man." Zhong Kang’s gaze fixed on Ye Xuan as he elegantly stood up and spoke. Although a warm smile graced his face and his words were polite, his intention was starkly clear: He wanted Ye Xuan to leave! "Zhong Kang, it’s already very late today, maybe..." Hm? Zhong Kang furrowed his brows and turned his head to stare at Qin Lan. Qin Lan fell silent. "Lanlan, don’t forget what I’ve told you. Only by staying by my side can your family, including your father, be better protected." Zhong Kang spoke to Qin Lan with a slight upturn at the corner of his mouth, sounding quite amiable. Qin Lan shivered and bit her lip, saying, "Zhong Kang, there’s nothing between Ye Xuan and me, don’t misunderstand." "As long as he leaves, I naturally won’t misunderstand," Zhong Kang said indifferently. Qin Lan inhaled deeply and looked at Ye Xuan with an apologetic expression: "Ye Xuan, my boyfriend is back, you... you should find somewhere else to stay tonight." "It’s not just for tonight. From now on, you are not allowed to appear in front of my girlfriend again." Zhong Kang’s stare bore into Ye Xuan, his voice carrying an undeniable air of command. It was more like an order from Zhong Kang, his demeanor overbearing! Ye Xuan furrowed his brows; Zhong Kang’s arrogant attitude irked him. However, after all, they were a couple, so he didn’t feel it was his place to say anything. "Lanlan, I’m grateful for the days I’ve stayed here, and since your boyfriend is here, of course, I’ll leave." Ye Xuan gave Qin Lan a subdued smile, then turned and headed for the door. Zhong Kang’s gaze narrowed as he watched Ye Xuan for a moment, then suddenly hastened to follow. "Mr. Ye, I heard you’re a retired soldier working as a security guard at a listed company in East Sea City?" "That’s right." "Do you believe I can shut down that company and ensure you have no standing in East Sea City?" "Are you threatening me?" A chill flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. "Well, it’s not exactly a threat, just a warning. With my ability, I could drive you out of East Sea City like a stray dog at any moment! To me, your existence is as insignificant as an ant, and my identity and background are beyond your imagination." Zhong Kang looked down upon Ye Xuan from his lofty position and spoke slowly. "Is that so? But have you heard the saying, ’A small leak will sink a great ship’? Don’t underestimate an ant because its might is beyond your imagination! I’m someone who loves to take on the impossible, it’s what truly excites me. So I advise you not to trouble yourself, some troubles are beyond your means to provoke." The fool actually dares to show off in front of me? If it weren’t for Qin Lan, Ye Xuan would have slapped him already. "Ha, Mr. Ye, you seem very confident in yourself?" Zhong Kang’s smile was directed at Ye Xuan, a trace of coldness flickering deep in his eyes. "Not to belittle you, some people are frogs in a well, so blindly confident in their own strength that they prance around me without knowing their place. There’s a phrase that describes such people, ’the arrogance of ignorance’. For such individuals, I usually just crush them, rendering them unable to turn over a new leaf." "Oh? Is that so, you think you can certainly handle me?" Ye Xuan said with a light smile. "Isn’t it? Mr. Ye, let’s just wait and see. I hope you have a pleasant night," Zhong Kang’s lips curled slightly. "I’ll certainly have a good night, but I fear some might not stay put. I’d advise them not to act rashly, otherwise, there will definitely be bloodshed tonight." Casting a glance at the two burly men following, Ye Xuan cracked a mocking smile, revealing a sense of defiance and wildness. "It seems tonight will be quite restless, you two will escort this gentleman out for me." Zhong Kang gave a knowing look to the two men behind him. Understanding his cue, the men immediately flanked Ye Xuan, one on each side, and escorted him towards the stairs. Ye Xuan didn’t resist, still letting them handle him as they saw fit, a smile hanging on his face, but his eyes gradually grew colder and colder. He could now confirm that the group who had ambushed him on the road was indeed sent by Zhong Kang! Being able to dispatch fully armed soldiers from Yan Country to assassinate him, Qin Lan’s boyfriend was no ordinary person. Could it be... Someone from "that" organization? As Ye Xuan was being taken away from the scene, Zhong Kang’s expression darkened. After pondering for a moment, he dialed a phone number. "Beep beep..." However, the phone emitted a busy tone, with no answer on the other end. Zhong Kang frowned, ended the call, and turned to walk into the house. "Zhong Kang, please don’t overthink it, there’s really nothing between me and Ye Xuan, please don’t hurt him," Qin Lan pleaded with a sorrowful face. Watching Qin Lan intently, Zhong Kang’s demeanor took on a murderous aura. "Whore!" He slapped her across the face without hesitation. With a smack, Qin Lan was struck to the ground, her cheek swelling red, yet she didn’t utter a sound. Zhong Kang looked at Qin Lan and stepped toward her, grabbing her hair with a sinister smile on his lips, "Qin Lan, while I was away, you enjoyed being ridden by that pretty boy, didn’t you? Since you’re so thirsty, then help your husband with one more thing." ... Being held by two men, Ye Xuan didn’t say a word and knocked them both unconscious. Thud! Thud! Looking at the two men lying on the ground to his left and right, Ye Xuan curled his lips. With their pathetic skills, they dared to come and teach him a lesson? Dusting off his hands, Ye Xuan was about to leave when something caught his eye unintentionally. It was a piece of black fabric in the pocket of the jacket, slightly sticking out. Ye Xuan squatted down and reached out to take it, revealing a golden dragon embroidered on it and an odd pattern below it. But more accurately, this looked like an armband, the kind worn on the arm, exclusive to the military. Seeing the strange pattern on the armband, Ye Xuan’s usually calm expression instantly changed, replaced by severity, as he knitted his brows. Dragon Soul Arm Patch! This was actually a Dragon Soul Arm Patch! Ye Xuan’s thoughts raced, and he instantly connected the dots that Qin Lan’s boyfriend was a member of Dragon Soul. This also explained why those who had attempted to assassinate him earlier looked so much like Yan Country soldiers. Dragon Soul was Yan Country’s highest-level special operations unit, directly superseding any army command. No wonder Zhong Kang acted so arrogantly; this was very much in line with the type of behavior associated with the people from Dragon Soul. "So, it’s true..." Cold glints formed in Ye Xuan’s eyes. The disappearance of Eagle was related to Dragon Soul. He hadn’t gone to look for them, but these people had come to him. Ye Xuan had seen the Dragon Soul Arm Patch more than once and was aware that it was divided into ordinary members and the Dragon Soul Captain, with the latter ranked from one to five stars to indicate the level. Ye Xuan’s gaze shifted as he searched the other person and found a similar armband. However, there were no stars, indicating they were ordinary members. "I wonder if Zhong Kang is a captain?" Ye Xuan glanced upstairs, furrowing his brows slightly, planning to sneak up quietly to figure things out. Perhaps he could find out some news about Eagle... Suddenly, Ye Xuan heard a cry from upstairs, and by the sound of it, it seemed to be Qin Lan.
