46: Chapter 46 Conspiracy Arises Again 46: Chapter 46 Conspiracy Arises Again Ye Shikai was startled by An Lan’s sudden action. Feeling the warmth from An Lan’s body, Ye Shikai also slowly wrapped his arms around An Lan’s waist. An Lan’s body gently trembled, which pained Ye Shikai’s heart. Ye Shikai wasn’t heartless; An Lan had always been quietly helping and caring for him. He was aware of her feelings. One big reason why he came back to Huaxia was to start living as an ordinary person again, and a virtuous and gracious partner like An Lan was undoubtedly what all men pursued. If it weren’t for his marriage arrangement with Su Qingyu, he might have really ended up together with An Lan. The two hugged for a while, then Ye Shikai slowly pushed An Lan away, took out a handkerchief from the table, and gently wiped her slightly red eyes, “Lan, look at you, you’ve cried. I’m alright, aren’t I?” “Promise me, don’t go into dangerous situations anymore. I don’t know what you were doing today, but after you left, I was really worried.” An Lan cried again. Seeing An Lan’s tear-streaked face, Ye Shikai felt sympathetic – he was so important in her heart. Recalling when he first joined Tianya Group, An Lan looked at him with new respect, perhaps it was love at first sight, “Alright, I promise you.” Ye Shikai held An Lan gently, letting her feel the warmth of his chest. Meanwhile, in a villa on the outskirts of Yanjing, a man in black wearing a dark mask paced back and forth in the living room. The mask covered his face, but not the rage in his eyes. Just recently, he had received the news of Du Ya and the assassins’ deaths, which infuriated him so much that he smashed a mahogany table to pieces. Suddenly, the villa’s door was opened, and a striking woman in a tight black outfit appeared in front of the man in black, respectfully saying, “Master, the matter with Du Ya has been investigated. It was a man named Ye Shikai who did it; he also dealt with the remaining men alone.” “What? Who is this Ye Shikai, to have killed Du Ya and his men all by himself?” “We investigated him. He is an employee of the Public Relations Department of Tianya Group.” “Tianya... Group, why is it always Tianya Group? My last plan against them just failed, and now it’s someone from this group again.” The man in black shouted loudly. His plans had never failed before, but the failure of his last plan against Tianya Group had marred his career with its first blot, and now this assassination attempt had failed because of someone from this group. “We investigated the last assassination attempt in the mall. It was done by the Fox Hunter Killer Group, and it was Ye Shikai who intervened and allowed Luo Shiqi to narrowly escape.” After the woman finished speaking, the man in black slowly turned around, a corner of his mouth lifting in a sinister yet intriguing smile, “Interesting, this Ye Shikai is really not an ordinary person. But since he dares to come, let’s finish him off.” “Poisonous Concubine, I give you five days to eliminate Su Qingyu and Ye Shikai.” The man in black issued his command. His original mission was to cripple Tianya Group, and sending Du Ya to assassinate Luo Shiqi was purely because she had invested in Tianya Group, causing his plan to fail, and not only did the assassination not succeed, it resulted in the loss of one of his top operatives, which redirected his wrath towards Ye Shikai. “What? Wasn’t the order just to cripple Tianya Group?” The woman was shocked. Su Qingyu was a well-known figure in Yanjing – her assassination would surely cause a major uproar. “The order from the top has changed, direct assassination, no survivors. You handle this, and don’t come back if you fail.” A hint of wariness flashed in the man in black’s eyes, unexpected that he too had higher-ups, and who could make him feel cautious. In Lishi District, Ye Shikai was lazily lying on the sofa, his head resting on Su Ziqing’s thigh, enjoying watching television. The bar fight today felt like stretching his muscles after returning to Huaxia, especially facing Du Ya, a cultivator, which was quite a surprise. Ye Shikai mused internally that if such leisurely days lasted too long, his skills would probably decline before long. “Brother-in-law, feeling comfortable?” Su Ziqing used a toothpick to hold a piece of apple, extending it to Ye Shikai’s mouth, “Mmm, comfortable indeed. Cousins really do care for their brother-in-laws. They say cousins are like a brother-in-law’s personal coat – that saying really is true.” Ye Shikai glanced mischievously at Su Ziqing’s chest, having left An Lan’s office and gone home early. He hadn’t expected to run into Su Ziqing returning from school and realized it had been days since he’d last seen this lively girl. Su Ziqing’s eyes sparkled, secretly thinking if she didn’t need a favor from him, she wouldn’t let him take advantage. “Qingqing, do you need my help with something?” Ye Shikai suddenly said, startling the guilty Su Ziqing. Damn, does my brother-in-law have Mind Reading Technique? Ye Shikai smirked, “Kid, if not for currying favor, you definitely need something from me.” “Hehe, brother-in-law, our school is having a get-together tonight, and there are lots of activities.” “Are you going?” “Not exactly, I actually... signed you up.” By the end, Su Ziqing lowered her head, her voice getting softer and her face reddening like a schoolkid who had made a mistake. “Oh, signed up, huh? What, you signed me up?” Ye Shikai suddenly realized, jumped up, and shouted loudly at Su Ziqing, “Lady, what are you trying to pull?” “Actually, a classmate provoked me, so in a fit of anger, I bragged about how talented and versatile my brother-in-law is, and ended up... signing you up.” “Brother-in-law, you won’t say no to me, right? Where would that leave my dignity? Besides, just now I let you... take advantage.” Su Ziqing looked pitifully at Ye Shikai, making him speechless; this tactic of acting first and reporting later was really something. “Alright, I’ll agree to it.” Ye Shikai couldn’t resist Su Ziqing shaking his arm, so he had to agree. “Hehe, you’re the best, brother-in-law. Speaking of which, do you actually have any talents? Don’t embarrass me when the time comes.” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but almost shout, “You knew it, why didn’t you think about it when you signed me up?” “Isn’t that because I... believe in you, brother-in-law? I believe you won’t let me down.” Su Ziqing thought hard and finally came up with a lame excuse. “Brother-in-law, you haven’t answered me yet. Do you actually have any talents?” “Guess.” Ye Shikai revealed a sly smile, looking completely confident.
