Chapter 193: Chapter 193: TroubleLiu Ying flashed a seductive glance at Ye Xuan, "Do you think I would believe that? Lin Tong is ranked as the number one beauty in Central City. How could she possibly be your wife?" Of course, she didn’t believe Ye Xuan’s words; this guy was all talk and no substance. To think he’d claim Lin Tong was his wife—absurd! Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders, "Brother’s telling the truth; Lin Tong really is my wife." "Little brother, why don’t you say, Princess Dolby is your wife? And the Empress of the United Kingdom is your mom?" Liu Ying teased. "You actually got it right. Princess Dolby really does want to marry me; she even had her brother propose to me! That Elizabeth, from the United Kingdom, also wants to adopt me as her godson! However, I found Princess Dolby too dim, and the Empress too old, so I rejected them both," Ye Xuan, touching his nose, said earnestly. Liu Ying: "..." Calling you fat and you’re still catching your breath? Can’t you live without bragging? "Stop daydreaming, hurry up and pay the bill!" Liu Ying threw him a big eye roll. After settling the bill at the counter, they walked out of the Qi Li Xiang restaurant. "Who do you think is prettier, me or CEO Lin Tong?" Suddenly, Liu Ying asked, her cheeks becoming more enchanting having drunk red wine. Er... Ye Xuan touched his nose; why did women always like to ask these questions? My wife is very beautiful, but Liu Ying is also very beautiful! How should I answer this? It’s really a headache. "Cough cough... Well, both of you are very pretty!" Ye Xuan coughed and gave a diplomatic answer, not wanting to offend either. "No, you can only say one, who is prettier?" Liu Ying stared at Ye Xuan. Ye Xuan was speechless. Saying both were beautiful was not enough; she insisted on ranking them and he couldn’t fathom what she was thinking. Alright, I was originally going to save your face but since you insist on hearing the truth, I can only be honest. "CEO Lin Tong is the number one beauty in Central City, so of course she is the prettiest!" After saying that, Ye Xuan thought to himself, you asked for the truth, you can’t blame me for this. In his heart, he naturally ranked his own wife first! Lin Tong is the most beautiful, even though he had a good relationship with Liu Ying, she could not surpass his wife. "Lin Tong is the prettiest? Are you saying Sister isn’t pretty? Ye Xuan, you stinker, think again, who is really the prettier one?" Liu Ying smiled brightly, placing a hand on the soft flesh of Ye Xuan’s waist, and began to twist 180 degrees clockwise. Yikes! Ye Xuan drew a sharp breath from the pain. Looking at Liu Ying’s expression turned gloomy, why do women always resort to this move? Lin Tong had done the same before; this woman must have learned it from my wife! "Ye Xuan, you stinker, I’ll give you one more chance, think carefully before you answer, think well." Liu Ying gave a cold laugh, emphasizing her tone. Women all love beauty, and Liu Ying was no exception! Especially since she was always secretly competing with Lin Tong for the crown of the number one beauty, neither conceding to the other. Ye Xuan actually not saying she was prettiest but claiming Lin Tong was, made her very angry and a bit jealous! "Ah, I remembered..." As Liu Ying’s fingers continued to twist, Ye Xuan’s expression changed unpredictably, wiping the sweat from his forehead, quickly corrected himself: "Miss Liu, I misspoke earlier, it’s definitely you who’s the prettiest! In East Sea City, no one is prettier than you." Wife, it was this woman who forced me to say it. Although I resisted to death, I still fell under her claws. But don’t worry, you’re still number one in my heart! "That’s more like it." Liu Ying withdrew her hand, revealing an alluring smile, very satisfied with Ye Xuan’s answer. Seeing Liu Ying appear happy, Ye Xuan was somewhat speechless. He found that when he told the truth, people didn’t believe him, but when he lied, they took it seriously! Do all women like to hear lies? Even Liu Ying, this clever woman, was the same! "Let’s go, I’ll drive you home," Liu Ying said. "Okay." Ye Xuan nodded, and the two of them got back into the car; this time, he sat in the passenger seat, and Liu Ying drove. "Ding-a-ling-a-ling..." Just as she was about to start the car, Liu Ying answered a call and furrowed her beautiful brows. Ye Xuan noticed something was off and asked, "What’s wrong?" "I can’t go back right now; you’ll have to come with me somewhere." Liu Ying hung up the phone, her brows furrowing even deeper, and without saying another word, she drove out of the underground garage. Boom! The Porsche shot out like a bullet, heading toward the south gate of Central City. ... On the road, Ye Xuan found out what had happened. The Liu Group had just opened a new jewelry store on South Street in Central City just three days ago, and shockingly, a vicious robbery had occurred in broad daylight. The robbers had looted treasures and taken control of the store’s employees and several customers as hostages! They threatened that not only would they take all the jewels today, but if anyone dared to stop them, they would kill all the hostages. Someone had already called the police, who were waiting to carry out a rescue operation. Liu Ying’s own jewelry store had been robbed, and the employees’ lives were in danger; she needed to get there as quickly as possible. She knew that Ye Xuan was highly skilled; even Old Liang had been no match for him last time, and he could definitely take on ten! That was why she thought to bring him along, hoping he might be able to help somehow. Liu Ying drove quickly, and about fifteen minutes later, they stopped in front of a large jewelry store. This was the robbed jewelry store. Police cars were parked around, and the store had been cordoned off by the police; a crowd of onlookers gathered outside the police line. In the Celestial Empire, there’s never a shortage of onlookers, even at a robbery scene. The two of them hurriedly got out of the car, and a man who looked like a manager immediately came to meet them. "CEO, you’ve finally arrived," said the perspiring manager. "What’s the situation now? Have the hostages been rescued?" Liu Ying asked, furrowing her brow. The manager gave a bitter smile and said, "Our staff and customers are all trapped inside, the robbers are still looting the jewels, and the police are afraid to storm in, worried about endangering the hostages’ safety. However, the robbers just fired a shot, and a hostage was shot and fell to the ground." The situation didn’t sound optimistic. Liu Ying’s eyes turned icy cold; those robbers dared to hit Liu Group, she would definitely make them pay! "Also, there seems to be a policewoman inside. She was picking out jewelry in our store when she got trapped," The manager seemed to have remembered something and added another piece of information. A policewoman? Could it be... Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed, and he asked, "What’s this policewoman’s name?" The manager looked perplexed at Ye Xuan. Liu Ying said, "This is Vice President Ye of Liu Group; speak to him." "Ah, Vice President Ye, nice to meet you." The manager gave an awkward smile; after all, as the vice president, Ye Xuan’s status was naturally higher than his. "The police officers who arrived mentioned that the policewoman’s surname is Bai, and she seems to be their captain; they’re also trying to rescue her." Surname Bai? Indeed, it’s that flat-chested, brainless A+ woman! Even she ended up trapped inside. Bang! Just then, a gunshot sounded from inside the jewelry store, shattering the silence inside. And startling the crowd outside! Accompanied by the gunshot, men’s and women’s exclamations and screams came from inside the store...
