Chapter 283: Chapter 283: The Cunning Femme FataleWhat! After hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the four police officers, who had been sneering, were immediately dumbfounded. "Fuck! Has this kid really seen through us? Dammit, did we just impersonate cops for nothing?" The so-called ’police officer’ leading them spat on the ground and a look of surprise flashed across his face. Upon hearing this, and observing their behavior, Lin Tong couldn’t help but tremble, her face turning pale as she asked, "Ye Xuan, you’re saying they aren’t real police officers?" "That’s right, they’re far from being police officers, they’ve never had anything to do with the police in their whole damn lives!" Ye Xuan wore a smile on his face, his eyes landing on their palms, a playful look flashing across his eyes as he opened his mouth to say, "Their hands are full of calluses, but not from holding guns. The calluses are on the forefinger and thumb, clearly those of someone who handles knives year-round—knife calluses!" With that said, Ye Xuan’s mouth curled into a mischievous grin as he looked at Lin Tong and chuckled, "CEO, do you think it’s possible for police officers to carry knives? That only means they’re impostors! As for their true identities, take a look around and you’ll know." Take a look around and you’ll know? Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Lin Tong surveyed the surrounding factory buildings. She noticed that aside from being secluded, there were also a large number of shipping containers, suggesting a secret warehouse or gathering point! This scene, so familiar from TV dramas, was the typical hideout for villains. Lin Tong’s gaze filled with terror, her pretty face instantly turning deathly pale. Clap, clap, clap! Before Ye Xuan could speak, a round of applause echoed from the side. The ’police officer’ in charge, with a sneer on his face and a surprised look in his eyes, said to Ye Xuan, "I really did not expect your observational skills to be so meticulous, to guess our identities so accurately. Quite impressive, very impressive." Though his mouth praised, his smile was sinister, like a hunter pleased with his prey. The other three ’police officers’ felt the same way. Indeed, they had never imagined that, despite their convincing police impersonation, they would be exposed by this kid! At this point, the chief ’police officer’ had taken off his police cap. Since their cover was blown, there was no need to pretend anymore. Once the cap was removed, one could see the numerous bald patches on his head—commonly known as ’ghost’s clippers,’ looking like the spots on a leopard, quite intimidating. The bald brute smirked and sized up Ye Xuan curiously, asking, "What I don’t understand now is this: If you recognized that we’re impostors, why did you still follow us, without even a hint of resistance?" Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders and offered a faint smile, his words tinged with mockery, "If I hadn’t come, how would I have learned your identities, or who’s intentionally targeting me from behind? Trouble came knocking, and naturally, I wanted to deal with it! I do like the feeling of being watched from the shadows." Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, all four men were taken aback. Then they burst into laughter, mocking Ye Xuan’s overconfidence: "Kid, are you stupid? Who do you think you are, planning to take us all out by yourself? Let me tell you, you’ll be dead soon, and even if you know who it is, you can only tell King Yan in Hell, haha!" Laughing, the four of them continued their derisive chuckling, "Heh heh! This kid’s just a naive brat. Has he never heard the saying? The more you know, the faster you die!" "Wait until he finds out who we are—that’ll be his death sentence!" "You had the chance not to die, but you were too confident in your own strength! That’s what I call a self-inflicted end!" "Haha..." The four people looked at Ye Xuan with thick irony on their faces. They all believed Ye Xuan was purely seeking death, and now that he had entered the wolf’s den, he could only be slaughtered by others. Ye Xuan’s expression remained calm, standing quietly in place, even a smile playing at his lips. After scanning the crowd, he said indifferently, "Alright, stop putting on an act, have your people come out already! There are six people in the container to the east, eight in the western one, ten hidden to the south, and there should be another fourteen outside... Oh, right, there’s someone at the corner of the west wall, breathing in a pattern of two longs and a short, must be hormonal imbalance, a woman, right? Is she the leader of your operation?" Gasps!!! Ye Xuan’s words were indifferent, even somewhat leisurely, but they abruptly wiped the smiles off the faces of the four jeering men, freezing them in place. They looked at Ye Xuan as if they had seen a ghost, their faces filled with disbelief. How does this kid know? As the four were in a state of shocked uncertainty, suddenly, cries of battle erupted around them. Figure after figure surged out from the surrounding areas of the factory. All were a group of knife-wielding big men dressed in black, with hateful expressions, their entrance as dynamic as fight scenes from movies. And right now, in front of these burly men stood a beautifully shaped woman. Dressed in black as well, her fiery red hair cascading down, her features stunningly beautiful with a pair of black-framed glasses, she looked like an office lady from some company. Her figure was incredibly attractive, but her eyes were focused on Ye Xuan like those of a venomous snake. She gave Ye Xuan the impression of a beautiful serpent. You must not be fooled by her beauty, or else this venomous beauty would devour you whole, bones and all. In fact. This woman was none other than the personal secretary of Bangyao Group’s CEO—Han Xue! Seeing more than thirty big men suddenly appear, Lin Tong’s face turned pale; this was the end. She knew that she and Ye Xuan had fallen into someone else’s trap, that this gang had long planned and lay in ambush for them here. This time, escape was impossible! "Ye Xuan, run as soon as you can! They might be after me, just run as far as you can, don’t worry about me." Lin Tong bit her red lips, looking at the ferocious big men welling up with hopelessness yet not forgetting to turn to Ye Xuan and say. She did not want her husband to come to harm. If given the choice, she would rather the one in trouble be herself. This was giving up her own chance of escape to allow Ye Xuan to get away! Having said this, Lin Tong looked at Ye Xuan, her eyes filled with a trace of poignant sadness and a hint of reluctance and farewell. She knew what might happen to her once she stayed behind, but Lin Tong still did not hesitate! She only hoped Ye Xuan could escape and call the police as soon as possible; that could be the only way to save her. This was entrusting her life and death into the hands of others, showing her utmost trust in Ye Xuan! Moved by Lin Tong’s words, Ye Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Wife, what are you talking about? How can I abandon you and escape by myself? That would make me far too less of a man! Don’t you have a little confidence in your husband’s fighting ability? Don’t forget, I am your Knight!" After speaking, Ye Xuan winked at Lin Tong, emphasizing the meaning behind the word ’Knight’.
