Beside her stood Ye Sijue, whose handsome features and every stroke of his face seemed to be a masterpiece meticulously drawn by the heavens. Fu Ying felt so mesmerized by the sight that she wished she could immerse herself in this ocean of happiness every moment.
Thinking about it carefully, Ye Sijue seems to be a decent person, just a bit cold-hearted.
But she just liked following him, without needing any reason at all!
Ye Sijue strode ahead of Fuying, a turbulent undercurrent swirling in his piercing eyes, his heart pounding with restlessness.
He clenched his fists, his heart seemingly growing restless from the footsteps behind him.
It's ridiculous! He just saw this woman was injured, and he didn't even think of just throwing her away?
But how could that be?
He's clearly someone who doesn't understand emotions, yet he actually feels sorry for others?
And this person is a woman?
He felt like he was going crazy, he must be going crazy!
Ye Sijue felt his chest was about to explode with irritation. He strode to the foot of the mountain and saw a Bentley parked there.
Fu Ying smiled as she got into the car, rolled down the window and looked at Ye Sijue, "Where do you want to go? Should I give you a ride?"
Her eyes were smiling, and her lively eyes were like little stars that could speak; she was incredibly intelligent.
Ye Sijue felt a deep sting from her dark, bright eyes and frowned, saying, "No need."
Fu Ying pursed her lips, wanting to say something, but looking into Ye Sijue's calm, cold eyes, she felt a slight sense of loss. Then, she playfully gave a bright smile: "So that's how it is!"
"I won't ask anymore. Just be careful." Fu Ying lowered her eyes, gave him a sweet reminder, and then started the car.
Only after seeing the sports car safely drive onto the highway and its taillights completely disappear into the vast darkness did Ye Sijue turn around, clutching his throbbing wound and taking two difficult steps.
When he opened his palm, he found it was covered in blood, and his waist and abdomen were also stained with blood, though it wasn't very noticeable under his black clothes.
The bullet that the assassin fired before he died, although it didn't hit him squarely, grazed his abdomen, causing him to bleed profusely.
If Fuying hadn't been following him around, he might have been able to handle it simply.
Due to excessive blood loss, Ye Sijue's physical strength gradually declined.
The temperature in the mountain forest plummeted at night, and he felt everything in front of him gradually blurring. Cold sweat broke out on his body. After taking a few difficult steps, he lost consciousness and collapsed.
......
The underground bank scandal caused such a big uproar that even the director of the Criminal Investigation Department of Country C had to step in and completely shut it down.
Numerous people involved in the money exchange were arrested by the Criminal Investigation Department, and the amount of illicit money seized was countless!
The underground bank, which was the main financial vault of the wealthy businessman Ala, was thus wiped out by Gu Momo and Li Zhanting!
The fact that wealthy businessman Ala had his arm severed meant that the financial resources behind the Emperor-Killing Alliance would inevitably be cut off.
And this is precisely Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's main objective!
However, this underground bank actually had another entrance, so the raid did not affect Lotus Tower. Moreover, Lotus Tower's public image is that of a restaurant with a strong ancient style.
Before the money exchange owner from the Criminal Investigation Department arrived, he had already received advance notice and fled to the Lotus Pavilion.
"Damn it! Liu Xu, you fucking get out here!" The poster had fled all the way here, disheveled and dirty. In order not to attract attention, he even took off his usual suit and wore only a tattered coat.
Upstairs in the attic, Liu Xu was preparing spices by the window when her subordinate rushed in from outside. "Master, Master Chen from the underground bank is here, challenging us! After what happened at the underground bank, he's definitely here for us..."
As Liu Xu was scooping essential oil with a silver spoon, Master Chen's voice boomed from the courtyard, deafeningly loud, "Liu Xu, don't you dare hide in your room like a coward! If you have the guts, come out and confront us! Don't think that just because you're a woman, I won't dare touch you! The underground bank is gone, do you think you can escape unscathed? What are you doing, acting like a coward?!"
His subordinate turned pale. Liu Xu stopped what she was doing and looked at him with disdain. "I've heard you all now, without you having to say it. Call Hua Ling and come down with me!"
"Yes, OP!"
Lotus has three masters: the first master Liu Xu, the second master Hua Ling, and the third master Sheng Qiao. After Sheng Qiao passed away due to illness a few years ago, the position of the third master has remained vacant.
Hua Ling was taking a shower when she received the message from her subordinate. She was wearing a white, sheer slip dress with a blue and pink cardigan over it, and her hair was down when she went downstairs.
She moved with light, graceful steps, yet an invisible pressure emanated from her delicate brows: "Master Chen, what brings you to Lotus Pavilion today? Shouldn't you immediately report to the Alliance Leader and Lord Ala about what happened to your underground bank?"
Master Chen sneered, "Don't you know why I'm here? There's a traitor in this Lotus Pavilion who revealed the location of our underground bank to two outsiders, which led to the investigation of my bank and the complete annihilation of my subordinates! Even the income that hasn't been handed over to us yet has been frozen. Tell me, who is the traitor here!"
As the saying goes, those who have nothing to lose are not afraid of those who have something to lose. Master Chen raised his pistol and aimed it at Liu Xu and Hua Ling.
The other henchmen of Lotus Pavilion also raised their pistols, pointing them at Master Chen. Although their voices were gentle, their sharp eyes betrayed their murderous intent: "Master Chen, please calm down. We can talk things out."
"Calm down! How can you expect me to calm down! I was ordered to manage the underground bank, and now the entire bank has been shut down. I will not let you off easily! Even if I die today, I will take someone down with me!" With that, he was about to pull the trigger.
A sharp, cold glint flashed in Hua Ling's eyes as she strode up to Master Chen.
Her slender fingers gently grasped Master Chen's hand as he was about to pull the trigger, her eyes sparkling with a charming smile:
"Master Chen, I think you've misunderstood. Master Liuxu and I would never betray Ala or the organization. Think carefully about who among the people who entered the bank last night had suspicious identities?"
“If they pretended to be guests and entered the Lotus Pavilion, and then secretly sneaked into the underground bank, neither I nor the Pavilion Master Liuxu would know anything,” Hua Ling explained. “Besides, this matter hasn’t reached the point where we have to fight amongst ourselves. As long as we can capture her and offer her to Allah, Allah will never blame us.”
Liu Xu's deep gaze fell on Hua Ling, and her voice suddenly turned cold: "Hua Ling, what are you saying?"
