At this moment, Ye Xunhuan fully displayed his iron-blooded and ruthless side of the underground world. Without any nonsense, he issued orders directly, completely like a high and mighty king, displaying an aura of contempt for the world.
The four men had nothing to say, and they immediately began to obey Ye Xunhuan’s orders, starting to clean up the bodies of these people.
After handling the bodies, these people immediately left to do what Ye Xunhuan had instructed them to do.
Moreover, they swore to do an excellent job, making Ye Xunhuan very satisfied.
Because they didn’t often see Ye Xunhuan, and Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t directly give them orders, now having an opportunity to interact closely with Ye Xunhuan, they naturally wouldn’t miss it.
These people left, cleaning up the place immaculately, and of course, the police arrived due to the major incident that happened here.
However, Wu Mei took out her credentials, causing the police to immediately retreat and also started surrounding Hou San’s people, intending to eradicate this tumor.
Although this place was chaotic, it wasn’t that no one could control it, it’s just that it was better if everyone could avoid extra trouble. Moreover, Hou San hadn’t committed any unforgivable sins, but now Hou San’s death was certain, and so was the reshuffling of power in Baiyue County starting tonight.
Everyone left, and the place was cleaned, leaving only Ye Xunhuan and Wu Mei.
"Have a seat!" Wu Mei said softly.
Ye Xunhuan didn’t stand on ceremony with Wu Mei, sitting directly on a wooden chair beside him, then took out a cigarette and lit it for himself: "How many months?"
Wu Mei naturally knew Ye Xunhuan was asking about the child in her belly, but she didn’t answer directly, instead lowered her head and looked at her stomach.
Seeing Wu Mei silent, Ye Xunhuan spoke again: "Our child, right?"
Wu Mei still didn’t say a word.
"I know you didn’t have a boyfriend before, although someone pursued you, you didn’t give them a chance!" Ye Xunhuan stared at Wu Mei and said, "And you had a relationship with me!"
"It’s not your child, you’re overthinking!" Wu Mei suddenly said, "We just had one relationship, it’s not that coincidental."
"You really think you’re a sharpshooter, huh?" Wu Mei joked with a smile.
Ye Xunhuan exhaled a thick puff of smoke from his mouth: "If it’s not my child, then tell me, whose child is it?"
"Besides, with today’s advanced technology, as long as you go to the hospital for a checkup, you can find out how many months the child is, and deduce whether the child is mine or not?"
For a moment, Wu Mei didn’t know what to say.
Because she knew everything Ye Xunhuan said was true, just a trip to the hospital, and everything would be revealed.
Even if they didn’t go to the hospital, once the child was born, a simple DNA paternity test would be enough to find out if the child was indeed Ye Xunhuan’s.
Seeing Wu Mei silent, Ye Xunhuan spoke again: "This child is mine, right?"
"Does it matter?" Wu Mei had no choice but to speak.
"Doesn’t it matter?"
"Ye Xunhuan, you’re a marshal, the king of the underground world, Qiu Ruoxi’s husband, and I’m just a passerby in your life. Moreover, countless people want to kill you now, I’m begging you, please don’t come looking for me, okay? Also, don’t ask about anything concerning the child!" Wu Mei said bitterly.
"The child is mine. How can I not ask?" Ye Xunhuan roared in a low voice, "And you’re carrying my child, leaving silently without even telling me, don’t you think you’re too much?"
"I’m too much?" Wu Mei’s face changed slightly, "How do you expect me to tell you that I’m pregnant with your child?"
"Would you have believed it then, you might think I’m trying to blackmail you, besides, you’re Qiu Ruoxi’s husband surrounded by so many women, would you care about me?"
"We have no emotional basis, even that time we had a relationship was just an accident, a massive accident!" Wu Mei said heavily!
This time it was Ye Xunhuan’s turn to be silent.
If at that time Wu Mei had told Ye Xunhuan she was pregnant, then the odds were ten to one that Ye Xunhuan would think Wu Mei was joking and wouldn’t believe it.
"I’m sorry, I..."
"Ye Xunhuan, I admit, the child is yours, but I’m begging you, stay away from me, okay? I just want this child to grow up healthily, without letting anyone know about his existence, and don’t worry, I will definitely let him have the surname Ye, and I will also tell him you’re his father!" Wu Mei’s voice softened, and a plea slowly appeared on her face, "If you manage to get through all the dangers, I will let the child come to you, I’ll let him return to your side!"
"But for now, can you leave, don’t come looking for me?"
Wu Mei left back then also because of a kidnapping by King, which deeply made Wu Mei realize the danger of being around Ye Xunhuan, and also made Wu Mei realize that if others knew she was carrying Ye Xunhuan’s child, then almost everyone would target her!
She had to leave, not for herself, but for the child in her belly.
There was even a moment when Wu Mei wanted to abort the child, but in the end, she simply couldn’t bear it. For this child, Wu Mei even had a fallout with her family.
She left and left Jiangzhong City, vanished in the bustling imperial capital, her whole being drifted like a dog’s tailgrass, finally arriving at Baiyue County, a place teeming with all sorts of people!
Though chaotic, it was safe here; no one would know who she was or who the father of the child in her belly was, and she could have the child here.
"Are you planning to stay here with the child, let him live here?"
"No!" Wu Mei shook her head, "I just want to have the child here and then leave, take him to the Central Plains, to the countryside, and live a life free of worldly troubles!"
"Wu Mei, now that I’ve found you, I won’t allow you to leave!" Ye Xunhuan said forcefully, "I won’t allow my child to disappear from my sight!"
"Ye Xunhuan, do you not understand your current situation?" Wu Mei’s emotions became a bit agitated, she yelled in a low voice, "If we stay, it’s the best bargaining chip for others against you!"
"As soon as we’re in someone else’s hands, no matter what demands they make, you can only agree, even if it means death!"
"If you don’t agree, then it’ll be us mother and child who die."
"I won’t let anything happen to you!"
"But I don’t want my child to be born like you, fatherless!"
