The 310th operation concludes, ending the countdown of six days.
Cai Feng glared fiercely at Xiao Yan, while Xiao Yan merely toyed with the gun in his hand, watching him with amusement before finally speaking coldly after a long while.
"Then we'll see if you have the guts to keep bothering me!"
After saying that, Xiao Yan pointed his finger at Cai Feng's forehead with the hand holding the ***, a cold smile on his lips.
"Tell me, if I fire now, do you think you can dodge it? How about we see if you're the one who won't let me go, or if I'm the one who can take your life?"
Cai Feng looked around. Apart from those who had been killed by Xiao Yan outside the valley, the area he had brought was now completely surrounded by Xiao Yan's men. The situation was now overwhelmingly in Xiao Yan's favor, and he was clearly no longer a match for Xiao Yan.
This discovery made Cai Feng's heart sink, and his gaze toward Xiao Yan became cold and ruthless, as if it had been poisoned.
"You're a man, how can you just let a woman boss you around?"
Xiao Yan's face darkened, and he looked at Cai Feng with great displeasure. Seeing his expression, Cai Feng was overjoyed, thinking that his chance had come, and immediately continued to speak.
"As a man, you should naturally have a man's dignity. Xiao Yan, I'm not trying to criticize you, but you are the heir to the prestigious Morgan Group. Are you really going to let Gu Mingxia boss you around like this? If word gets out, aren't you afraid of being laughed at, Mr. Xiao?"
Xiao Yan raised an eyebrow, looking at Cai Feng with a gloomy expression, then suddenly he curled his lips into a cold smile.
"Why should I care what others say or do? Will those rumors make me gain two pounds or boost Morgan Stanley's stock by a few points? I'm happy to be bossed around by Xia Xia, so what? I completely understand that those who talk about me are just sour grapes. So, I, Xiao Yan, am happy to be bossed around by a woman, what are you going to do about it!"
Xiao Yan's words were rather shameless, and Cai Feng, looking at his extremely shameless face, felt a surge of anger.
"Don't you... feel at all that living like this as a man is undignified?"
"Dignity? Does loving your wife and woman mean you have no dignity? So, I, Xiao Yan, have a wife and children, while you guess Feng can only remain a bachelor, right?"
Pfft...
Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing that Cai Feng's face had turned pale with anger, she considerately stopped laughing.
"I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it."
Despite saying that, Liu Yan's face was still full of smiles, making Cai Feng want to shoot her in the heart. However, seeing Xiao Yan's men pointing their guns at him one by one, Cai Feng lost the courage to fire.
"So, Mr. Cai Feng, are you going to come back with me, or do you want me to finish you off here?"
Xiao Yan glanced at his wrist; it was getting late. He'd been out for a long time, missing out on a lot of time with Xia Xia. That Cai Feng really deserved to die!
"You...you dare to kill me here?"
"Sir, would you like to give it a try? Let's see if I dare?"
"Mr. Xiao, don't waste your breath on this guy, let me just shoot him dead!"
Mercenaries are recognized in China, so their actions are subject to far fewer legal constraints. If Zheng Liu and his men were to kill Cai Feng here tonight, the newspapers wouldn't even report it the next day.
Liu Qi looked at Cai Feng with great impatience. This kind of person had come to cause trouble for them time and time again. Now that they finally had a chance to get rid of him once and for all, he really didn't want to lose him.
"Liu Qi, don't interrupt, listen to President Xiao's decision."
Zheng Liu looked up at Xiao Yan, then frowned and stopped Liu Qi. He naturally didn't want to lose this opportunity for nothing, but Gu Mingxia and Xiao Yan were the ones who paid for it, so the final decision was naturally in their hands. Zheng Liu understood very well that the biggest condition for a mercenary was to completely and unconditionally obey the employer's decision, and Liu Qi's reaction just now had deviated from the principles of a mercenary.
Liu Qi reluctantly took a step back, but the gun in his hand was still steadily pointed at Cai Feng. Xiao Yan glanced at Zheng Liu and Liu Qi. He understood what these people were thinking, but he had to listen to Gu Mingxia. On the way here, Gu Mingxia had already called him and said that she wanted to bring Cai Feng to her alive. She had something to ask him.
Since Gu Mingxia had spoken, Cai Feng absolutely could not die now. Xiao Yan nodded apologetically to Zheng Liu.
"Take him away. As for the people he brought, knock them unconscious and throw them into the woods. Let fate decide whether they live or die!"
Xiao Yan waved his hand, and the men he brought with him immediately stepped forward, took the gun from Cai Feng's hand, and tied his hands tightly behind his back. Then they knocked out Cai Feng's men one by one and threw them into the woods.
Once everything was settled, Xiao Yan looked at Zheng Liu and the others with a slight smile.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"President Xiao, why keep Cai Feng alive? We clearly had a chance to kill him just now. Keeping him around will definitely cause a lot of trouble later..."
"Liu Qi, you don't need to interfere with President Xiao's decision. Just remember we are mercenaries, and you just need to obey!"
Zheng Liu frowned and said sternly. Liu Qi realized that he had violated the code of mercenaries, so he stopped talking and just raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.
"It's alright. Xiaxia wants to see him. There are some things she wants to figure out. Once everything is clear, she will naturally give him a quick resolution."
Xiao Yan rarely spoke in a pleasant tone, and Zheng Liu explained to Xiao Yan with a smile.
"Liu Qi had no intention of interfering in President Xiao and Mingxia's affairs. He was just being kind, fearing that Cai Feng might be in danger in the future."
"I know everyone has had a long night, go home now."
After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he turned his head and caught a glimpse of the gunshot wound on Zheng Liu's shoulder, causing his brows to furrow slightly.
"Are you injured? Let them take you to the hospital first. I need to take Cai Feng to see Xia Xia first, otherwise she definitely won't be able to sleep."
"Alright, Mr. Xiao, please be careful on the road. Although we have Cai Feng under control, there's still Ah Xin!"
"Ah Xin is not worth taking to heart."
Although she was a member of the Longevity Cult, the cult had always been controlled by Nan Lan using a special drug and blood. Now that Nan Lan is dead, the nameless corpses that have been appearing one after another in Xiangcheng are probably people who came with her!
Once Nanlan dies, without the lifeblood she relies on, Liang Axin will be unable to stir up any trouble using the Longevity Sect.
Xiao Yan quickly returned to the Gu family villa with Cai Feng. Sure enough, Gu Mingxia was waiting for him in the living room, accompanied by Qin Yueru and Lin Fu.
"Is everything going smoothly? Is Liu Yan alright?"
"Everyone is fine, except Zheng Liu who was shot in the shoulder. Liu Yan accompanied him to the hospital, so you don't need to worry."
"It's alright, it's alright!"
Gu Mingxia patted her chest. Before Xiao Yan returned, she was always worried. Although Qin Yueru and Lin Fu both advised her to go to sleep and wait for Xiao Yan to come back before waking her up, she just couldn't fall asleep.
“I’ve brought Cai Feng back. If you have any questions, just ask him.”
