Chapter 15: No Hands
Bai Xianglei quickly shook his head, "No... I was just joking. Miss Chi, you are a generous person... Don't bother with me..."
As he spoke, Bai Xianglei started slapping himself.
Chi Muzhen looked at him coldly, without any fluctuation in his eyes.
Not until Bai Xianglei's face turned red did Chi Muzhen calmly retract his foot, turn around and leave.
Bai Xianglei's originally frightened eyes instantly turned vicious as he stared at Chi Muzhen's back.
He will remember this grudge today and he will never let Chi Muzhen go!
Seeing Chi Muzhen leave, Huo Yunting also turned and went upstairs.
He looked indifferent, but he was suspicious of Chi Muzhen in his heart.
Perhaps, it's time to let Ke Ning check on Chi Muzhen.
All he knew about Chi Muzhen before was that she was the Chi family's daughter who had been missing for sixteen years and that she was a twin sister of Chi Xuan.
In the three years since they got married, she has done her best to take care of him, just like an ordinary woman, but today really opened her eyes!
Liang Zixuan, who was standing by, was also shocked. He turned to look at Huo Yunting and said, "Yunting, Chi Muzhen just hit Bai Xianglei. Bai Xianglei is a vindictive person and will definitely cause trouble for Chi Muzhen. Are you not going to intervene?"
Huo Yunting looked indifferent. "She didn't ask me for help, why should I meddle in her business?"
"She is your wife after all."
Hearing this, Huo Yunting's expression seemed to grow even colder, and he said coldly, "Maybe it won't be like that after a while."
A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Zixuan's eyes, "Are you planning to divorce Chi Muzhen and get back together with Chi Xuan?"
Huo Yunting didn't say anything. Liang Zixuan took it as his tacit agreement and said, "You originally liked Chi Xuan. A divorce would be good for both you and Chi Muzhen."
"Chi Muzhen was the one who proposed the divorce."
Liang Zixuan was truly shocked. After all, they had all seen Chi Muzhen's fondness for Huo Yunting over the three years they had been married. How could she, who loved Huo Yunting so much, initiate a divorce?!
"Are you sure?! Since she was the one who filed for the divorce, why are you still hesitating? Could it be that the breakup fee she asked for is too much?"
Huo Yunting became increasingly irritated by Liang Zixuan's words and glanced at him coldly, "Are you free? Have you resolved the issue with that little celebrity?"
Liang Zixuan: “…”
The two walked into the box, where Jin Yi and Qi Yunzhe were already waiting.
Seeing Huo Yunting's gloomy face, Jin Yi couldn't help but say, "Yunting, why do you have such a sullen face?"
Huo Yunting remained silent. Liang Zixuan, who was standing behind him, said with a teasing look on his face, "Someone is upset because they've been asked for a divorce. Don't ask me about it."
Jin Yi was stunned for a moment, then said, "You should be happy when you eat, and don't think about things that make you unhappy."
None of them were optimistic about Huo Yunting and Chi Muzhen's marriage, especially now that Chi Xuan had returned to China, their marriage was even more precarious.
No one noticed that Qi Yunzhe, who had been keeping his eyes down and silent, unconsciously tightened his grip on the water cup.
After the meal, Jin Yi and Liang Zixuan suggested going to the Royal Court for a drink.
"You guys go ahead, I have something else to do tonight."
After Huo Yunting left, Qi Yunzhe also said he had something to do and had to go home.
Jin Yi looked at Liang Zixuan and said, "They are all busy, so why don't we go to a random bar and have a drink together?"
Liang Zixuan smiled and shook his head, "I have an appointment with my girlfriend, you go by yourself."
Jin Yi: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, he looked at Liang Zixuan and said, "You really made the transition seamlessly. This time, your girlfriend shouldn't be a celebrity, right?"
"No, I'll bring it over for you to see next time."
"Yo, are you serious?"
"I've always taken relationships seriously."
Jin Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Alright, go ahead. I'm going home too. It's boring!"
…
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when Huo Yunting returned to the villa.
As soon as I walked into the villa, I saw Chi Muzhen carrying a bag and preparing to leave.
She had changed into a sportswear set and tied her long hair into a ponytail, looking capable and beautiful.
"Where are you going so late?"
Chi Muzhen didn't expect Huo Yunting to come back at this time. After a brief moment of surprise, she said calmly, "Something happened. I probably won't be back for the next few days."
Huo Yunting grabbed her hand and stared at her coldly, "Chi Muzhen, don't forget that you are a married woman! It's so late, no matter what happens, you are not allowed to go out!"
Chi Muzhen impatiently shook off his hand, "What does it have to do with you? Didn't you often not come back for ten days or half a month before?! I agreed to return to the villa, but it doesn't mean you can interfere with my private life!"
She looked down at her watch and saw that the time she had agreed with Vulture was almost up.
"If you don't tell me clearly what you're going to do outside, I won't let you step out of the villa today!"
Chi Muzhen looked up and looked him in the eye, then said word by word, "Get out of the way!"
Huo Yunting didn't say anything, his dark and cold eyes staring at her.
After seeing Chi Muzhen's skills today, although she is very powerful, he should not lose to her in terms of skills.
If she attacks, I can just ask her when she learned martial arts.
Chi Muzhen looked at him expressionlessly. Huo Yunting was about to speak when a slight "ding" sound suddenly rang in his ears.
He frowned and was wondering when Chi Muzhen suddenly started counting down.
“3!”
“2!”
“1!”
As Chi Muzhen uttered the last number, Huo Yunting also lost consciousness.
Chi Muzhen dragged Huo Yunting to the sofa, turned around and left without looking back.
When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
Huo Yunting rubbed his temples and suddenly remembered something. His sharp eyes suddenly opened, and he glanced around but didn't see Chi Muzhen. His brows unconsciously frowned.
He immediately called Ke Ning and said, "Go check where Chi Muzhen is right now!"
At this moment, in the tropical rainforest.
A group of people were moving rapidly towards the deeper rainforest, and everyone was walking in a hurry.
There were about a dozen of them, wearing camouflage uniforms. Each of them had injuries of varying degrees, but no one fell behind, which showed that they were a well-trained team.
The leader led everyone to a river and said to the people behind him in English: "We will be safe after crossing this river."
As soon as he finished speaking, before everyone had time to breathe a sigh of relief, a gunshot was suddenly heard in the distance, and a bullet hit the leader right in the forehead.
"Bang!"
As the man fell to the ground, gunshots continued to ring out around him, and in an instant, only four or five people were left out of the dozen or so people.
"Jump into the river!"
A "splash" sound was heard, and the surface of the river became turbid.
Chi Muzhen stood motionless, staring intently at the river, like a sculpture.
At this moment, Vulture's deep voice came from the headset, "Iris, our main mission this time is to kill the poisonous scorpion. The remaining ones are just small fry and won't amount to much. Prepare to retreat."
Chi Muzhen frowned. She always believed in cutting the grass at its roots, but the commander of this mission was Vulture. He said to retreat, so she had to agree.
She put away her gun and was about to leave when she heard Vulture's anxious voice in her earphones, "Be careful!"
Chi Muzhen also sensed the danger and fell to the side suddenly. A bullet grazed her cheek, leaving a trail of blood in an instant.
She turned around and fired a shot in the direction the bullet came from, so fast that before the other party could fire the second shot, she fell to the ground with her eyes wide open, completely dead.
A whistle came from the headphones, along with the vulture's undisguised admiration.
"As expected of Iris, her speed is still as fast as ever!"
Chi Muzhen said in a cold voice, "I have something else to do. Just transfer the commission to my account."
After saying that, she cut off contact between the two.
…
Huo Yunting had people investigate for three whole days, but they couldn't even find out where Chi Muzhen had gone.
During these three days, the aura around him became increasingly cold, and no one in the company dared to approach him.
"President, this is the information I found about Miss Chi..."
Huo Yunting took the information and opened it to take a look. It was no different from what he had found before.
He coldly threw the information on the table, "This is the result of your three-day research?!"
