Chapter 243: Chapter 243: Dragon Soul Incoming Call (3 More)Following his daily routine, Ye Xuan would go and check in with his wife at this time of day, and incidentally bring her breakfast. When he arrived at Lin Tong’s office, Ye Xuan raised his hand and knocked on the door. However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response from inside, and Ye Xuan couldn’t help frowning. Could it be that his wife wasn’t there? Without thinking twice, he activated his x-ray vision and looked into the office, discovering that indeed there was no one there; Lin Tong seemed to have gone out. Ye Xuan took out his keys, directly opened the office door, and walked in with breakfast. He planned to wait here for Lin Tong to return so he could enjoy breakfast with his wife and relish their cozy world for two! "Eh, what’s that sound?" But before he could even get warm on his seat, he heard noises coming from the inner room, as if someone was inside. Ye Xuan followed the sound and found that it was coming from the room on the right, which was Lin Tong’s temporary resting place. Could his wife be inside? An idea flashed in Ye Xuan’s mind, and he sneaked forward, then pressed against the door and twisted the handle to open a crack. This room was a temporary resting area, so it wasn’t large, only a few dozen square meters, furnished with a bed, a table, and various common household items. The interior was arranged very tidy and clean, showing that the owner cleaned it regularly. "Hm, why do I hear the sound of a door opening?" Inside the room, Lin Tong showed an expression of suspicion. She remembered that the office door was locked, so how could someone have come in? Still, she instinctively looked toward the doorway. "Ye Xuan! What are you doing here?!" Upon discovering Ye Xuan, Lin Tong exploded in shock and anger. "Er... honey, don’t be mad." Ye Xuan shrank his neck and offered a sheepish smile. Lin Tong’s eyes narrowed with a frosty chill, staring sharply at Ye Xuan like the edge of a knife, and she gritted her teeth, "Get out of here right now! Do you hear me?" "Well, honey, I’ve put the breakfast on the table, and I... I’ll leave right away!" Ye Xuan broke into a sweat, fearing to ignite this powder keg. After speaking, he closed the door with a bang and wisely chose to make a quick escape. Once out of the office, Ye Xuan looked back at the door, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt a wave of relief wash over him. Luckily, he had run fast, as he hadn’t expected his wife to be changing clothes inside. If that little tyrant came after him, he would have been in serious trouble. "It seems I can’t afford to mess with her for the time being; I should go into hiding for a couple of days!" Muttering to himself indignantly, Ye Xuan didn’t stop walking and quickly distanced himself from this troublesome spot. He was just about to wander over to the sales department but then remembered that it was that little tyrant’s territory, and continuing to stay in the company might be dangerous. Ye Xuan didn’t linger, heading straight for the parking lot and getting into his car, prepared to take a drive and incidentally return the car to Luo Wei. After driving out of Eastern Group, Ye Xuan received a phone call. He saw that the caller ID displayed no name, indicating it was from a stranger. "Hello, this is Ye Xuan. Who is this?" Ye Xuan put on his Bluetooth headset and answered the call while driving. There was a moment of surprise on the other end, then a familiar voice came through: "It’s me, Qiu Mohan." Ye Xuan frowned. The big klutz? Calling him definitely meant nothing good. "Listen, big klutz, how did you get my number? You’re not thinking about peeping at me early in the morning again, are you?" Ye Xuan feigned ignorance. Just yesterday, he had agreed to help Dragon Soul with a kidnapping, and now unexpectedly, the call had come. And he knew that for Dragon Soul, finding his number was as easy as flipping a hand. Ye Xuan was just ribbing her a little. On the other side, Qiu Mohan was almost driven to swearing by Ye Xuan’s remarks. This despicable jerk, how could he be so vain? Who would want to peep at him for no reason! If it weren’t for knowing his identity, Qiu Mohan might have thought she had encountered a punk on the street. Taking a deep breath and calming her mood, Qiu Mohan finally said, "Ye Xuan, didn’t you promise to help us catch someone? Are you free now?" Just as he expected. "Promise to help you catch someone? What did I promise?" Ye Xuan chuckled. "Didn’t you agree yesterday to help Dragon Soul deal with a band of armed thugs on Duck Island? You haven’t forgotten, have you?" Qiu Mohan’s brows tightened, finding Ye Xuan’s attitude perplexing. "Big klutz, I think you heard wrong. I said I’d consider it, not that I agreed," Ye Xuan retorted lightly. "You... how can you go back on your word?" Qiu Mohan couldn’t help feeling exasperated. She had already reported to her superiors that they could expect a strong external ally to help. Now, with Ye Xuan refusing to go, how was she supposed to explain to her superiors? Isn’t this guy just toying with her? At that moment, Ye Xuan’s teasing voice came through the phone, "Big klutz, if I agree with you, what do I get in return? Let me be clear first; I don’t do favors without benefits." After hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Qiu Mohan paused for a moment, then said with surprise, "Does that mean you agree?" Ye Xuan smiled and said, "Well, it depends on what kind of reward you offer. I’m not particularly greedy; it’s just that my everyday expenses are a bit high! But isn’t Dragon Soul quite wealthy? Those one thousand square meter sea view villas, the extended neon sports cars, and the millennium ginseng that grants immortality – give me a dozen of each!"
