The burly man immediately felt a sharp pain.
Perhaps afraid of waking the person in bed, they stubbornly remained silent.
Before he could even get up, he suddenly felt something cold pressing against the back of his head.
"Don't move, or you'll die!"
He immediately realized that it was a gun.
Jian Yixue, who was waiting at the door of the dressing room, saw this scene and immediately came out to turn on the light.
Jian Yixue then recognized the person, but she didn't know who it was, and quickly looked at Ye Mohan.
Ye Mohan also looked puzzled.
...
In the living room.
Ye Mohan and Jian Yixue sat on the sofa, coldly watching the man who was discarded on the ground not far away like ordinary trash, and spoke.
“Tell me, who sent you?”
The man was in pain all over his body, clearly indicating that he had been properly treated.
Upon hearing this, he pondered whether or not he should answer.
Seeing this, the head of the bodyguards kicked him hard and said, "Are you deaf or mute? Can't you hear what my master is saying?!"
The man gasped in shock. Before he could react, he caught a glimpse of the bodyguard captain preparing to strike again.
He quickly said, "I'll talk, I'll talk."
The bodyguard captain then withdrew his foot in satisfaction.
Seeing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief and slowly said, "We are a mercenary organization from Country F. We usually take on missions to earn money. A couple of days ago, we received a mission. The client's request was to assassinate the wife of the head of the Ye family in the capital of Country Z. We just happened to be short of money lately, so..."
The man didn't say what he was going to say next, but he knew the person in front of him would understand.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue's expression remained unchanged, but she suddenly spoke her mind, a faint sneer appearing on her lips.
Ye Mohan frowned and asked, "Who is the other party?"
The man shook his head. "I don't know. We only care about money, not people. Whether the other party is male or female, or what kind of person they are, is never within our consideration. As long as the money is there, we'll do it."
After he finished speaking, the man clearly felt the air pressure around him drop rapidly, and his fear intensified.
Ye Mohan: "Take him away and hand him over to Ye Yi for processing!"
...
In the living room.
Ye Mohan fell into deep thought, and Jian Yixue, who was standing beside him, stepped forward and smoothed out his furrowed brows.
"Frowning makes you age faster."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan didn't speak, but his brows did relax.
Suddenly, she looked at Jane Yixue and asked, "Do you know who the other party is?"
Jian Yixue retorted, "Who else do you think would want me dead at this time?"
She couldn't think of anyone else besides Jian Jiaojiao.
An hour later, a phone call from Yoruichi confirmed Jane's guess.
"Master, we've found out. It was Jian Jiaojiao who paid ten million to hire someone to kill someone," Ye Yi said calmly.
Unfortunately, Jian Jiaojiao was unlucky; the other party's abilities were not very good.
Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan said in a deep voice, "Give her a good beating and hand her over to the police handling Jian Jiaojiao's case. I don't want to see her walk out of the police station again."
Since he's already inside, let's spare his life!
...
The next morning.
Upon receiving the news, Zhao's father immediately arranged to meet with Qiao Yaxiang.
As soon as Qiao Yaxiang entered the private room, she couldn't help but ask, "Brother Zhao, is there any change in Jiaojiao's situation?"
Mr. Zhao's face turned grim, and he said, "I'm sorry, Ya Xiang, I can't help you with this."
Qiao Yaxiang couldn't believe it and demanded, "Why?!"
She didn't believe that the Zhao family couldn't rescue Jian Jiaojiao. Even if Jian Mingpeng was really killed by Jian Jiaojiao, she believed that with the Zhao family's status in the capital, rescuing Jian Jiaojiao would be a piece of cake.
She had prepared herself to thank Mr. Zhao properly before coming, but she never expected it to turn out like this.
Mr. Zhao's expression turned somewhat serious as he said, "Although there's no uproar about this matter online yet, it will inevitably come to light sooner or later, and the Zhao family will absolutely not get involved in this mess."
Qiao Yaxiang stared straight at Zhao's father, unwilling to believe that these words had come from his mouth.
"Zhao Zhilong, we had a brief affair, yet you treat me like this. Did you ever truly have any feelings for me?"
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "Ya Xiang, I have told you before that my identity absolutely does not allow me to do anything that is detrimental to the Zhao family."
If Jiaojiao really hadn't killed Jian Mingpeng, I could have spent some manpower and money to rescue her. But now, she has indeed killed his biological father, and I am powerless to do anything about it.
What Zhao's father didn't say was that Jian Jiaojiao killed Jian Mingpeng to silence him at this time, and her motives are not hard to imagine.
He also knew about the internet cable issue; wasn't she just trying to pin the blame on Jian Yixue?
He didn't know what to say to Jian Jiaojiao, who had chosen to try and stop him. Was the Ye family someone she, a widow and her children, could possibly contend with?
Let alone them now, even Jian Mingpeng back then would never have been a match for the Ye family, and the same goes for the Zhao family.
The outside world only knows that the Ye family is incredibly wealthy, but they don't know just how powerful the Ye family is. He used to be dismissive of it.
But seeing the Qian family, which was much more powerful than the Zhao family, and the Yang family being removed from the capital one after another, he knew that the Ye family was not an existence he could afford to offend.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to sever ties with Qiao Yaxiang.
The Zhao family's empire was built through generations of hard work, and it absolutely cannot be destroyed in his hands.
Qiao Yaxiang's face flashed with unease, then she said angrily, "Zhao Zhilong, you coward! I didn't expect you to be such a weak and incompetent person. I originally thought you were much better than Jian Mingpeng, but now it seems you're just a coward too!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao's father's expression immediately changed, and he angrily retorted, "Incomprehensible!"
No man would like to be talked about like that, even if it's true.
Qiao Yaxiang: "What I said isn't true. You're incompetent! Useless! Selfish, heartless, and ungrateful! I misjudged you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao's father suddenly felt as if he had never truly known Qiao Yaxiang.
Is this hysterical, shrewish woman still the gentle, virtuous, and well-mannered Qiao Yaxiang he once knew?
Clearly, she is not.
It's also possible that she had been hiding her true nature all along. Thinking of this, Zhao's father suddenly felt deceived.
His face no longer held any of the deep affection of the past, and he said coldly, "Qiao Yaxiang, I, Zhao Zhilong, have misjudged you. This is your true face now."
No wonder Jian Jiaojiao did such a rebellious thing; it turns out she has a mother like you.
Jian Jiaojiao's success today is inseparable from your upbringing!
After saying that, she angrily headed towards the door, not wanting to pay any attention to the domineering Qiao Yaxiang.
