Ke Qinghong!
Upon hearing these three words, the boss’s brow immediately furrowed, a thoughtful expression on his face.
After a moment, the boss expelled a deep breath and said, "That guy is a sly old fox. You plan on using him, but he’s probably planning on using you instead!"
"Boss, I understand that, but without taking risks, how can there be rewards?" the young man said softly. "Besides, now that Ke Qinghong surely knows of the king’s assassination, if he finds out Ye Xunhuan has returned to Huaxia, he’s likely to make a move!"
"Hasn’t he been waiting all along for the king to die?"
"It’s true he’s been waiting for the king’s death, but you’ve overlooked someone!"
"Who?"
"Lin Yuhai!" The boss’s face grew extraordinarily solemn. "The king is likely just a puppet of Lin Yuhai!"
"Now that Ke Qinghong is aware of Lin Yuhai’s existence, even if he knows about the king’s assassination, he might not act. He can’t contest Lin Yuhai, nor can I!"
The boss sighed slightly, his face manifesting a resigned expression.
The three words, Lin Yuhai, weighed like a mountain on their hearts, making it difficult for them all to breathe!
Lin Yuhai was simply too formidable, so powerful that everyone had to fear him. You could say that one Lin Yuhai could suppress them all, causing them all to be fearful and even terrified!
The young man evidently knew about Lin Yuhai, and after hearing the name, his face immediately changed, and he fell into silence.
As the saying goes: How can you catch a tiger cub without entering the tiger’s den? But dealing with Lin Yuhai, this old rascal, is just too damned difficult. Even if the king were resurrected, Ye Xunhuan, the king, the big boss, and Ke Qinghong joining forces might not be enough to defeat Lin Yuhai!
Most importantly, Lin Yuhai also covets Tai Chi Seal for a long time. He definitely won’t allow Tai Chi Seal to slip away from Ye Xunhuan, unless he can grasp the opponent’s whereabouts and knows exactly who the opponent is!
...
Ye Xunhuan and Victoria boarded the plane with a direct flight to New York.
Ye Xunhuan went to New York to see He Sichan. Although he had seen He Sichan in his kingdom, a series of events prevented them from having much contact. Now that he had the time, naturally he wanted to see her, see how this now-Hollywood superstar was doing.
New York, the largest city of America, the largest port, influencing global finance, media, politics, entertainment, and the fashion world, can really be called an international metropolis.
People from all over the world populate the city, and the languages used here are varied, making New York a melting pot.
Victoria owned a villa in New York, so after landing, she took Ye Xunhuan to her villa.
It wasn’t Ye Xunhuan’s first time visiting Victoria’s villa; he was familiar with it.
Returning to the villa, Victoria took off her shoes and walked directly to the sofa, sitting down.
"So comfortable!" Victoria said with a face full of enjoyment. "It’s great to be back home!"
Seeing Victoria’s look of enjoyment, Ye Xunhuan chuckled softly, "You make it sound like I mistreated you whenever we went elsewhere!"
"You talk as if following you was paradise!" Victoria shot Ye Xunhuan a glare.
Victoria’s words left Ye Xunhuan momentarily speechless. Indeed, following him wasn’t exactly paradise.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan silent, Victoria continued, "Are you planning to go see He Sichan now or relax here for a while?"
"Of course, I’ll rest here first, think a bit!" Ye Xunhuan replied softly.
"Fine, if you want to go later, drive over yourself. You know where the car keys are, and you know where the garage is!" Victoria replied indifferently. "But what are you thinking about?"
"Not much, just about the woman I previously had Olivia watch," Ye Xunhuan replied flatly. "I need to see what she’s been up to recently and think about the big boss!"
"What are you planning for the big boss?"
"I oddly feel I’ve seen him somewhere before, and this feeling is very strong, really strong. I ought to know him," said Ye Xunhuan seriously. "Yet, I can’t seem to recall anything, no image that connects with him!"
Saying this, Ye Xunhuan pulled out a cigarette and lit it, taking a gentle drag.
Ye Xunhuan had this peculiar feeling about the boss all along but couldn’t recall it, which bothered him.
Anyone, not just Ye Xunhuan, would be perturbed by this sensation, especially when you suddenly forget what you want to say; anyone who’s been through that knows the feeling.
Ye Xunhuan felt exactly that way now.
"Has the big boss made you hallucinate?" Victoria asked, scanning Ye Xunhuan from head to toe.
"Impossible!" Ye Xunhuan said, exhaling smoke slowly. "I’m not fooling you!"
"Well, think about it. I’m going for a bath!"
Saying this, Victoria got up and headed upstairs.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t pay Victoria any mind and sat on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, deeply pondering.
Who was this big boss, and why did he feel strangely familiar?
Moreover, if the feeling was wrong, why didn’t the boss try to kill him this time, why suddenly stop?
Fear?
Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t believe the boss would be afraid!
The strength of the boss was evident; the boss had all the advantages. In a real life-and-death battle, while Ye Xunhuan might leave alive, he could merely escape with half a life!
This made Ye Xunhuan think he must have some connection with the boss; otherwise, the boss wouldn’t act this way!
No matter how much Ye Xunhuan thought, he couldn’t figure it out, which frustrated him.
As time ticked by, about half an hour later, a fragrant scent wafted into Ye Xunhuan’s nostrils, pulling him from his thoughts. He turned towards the source of the scent!
