Lin Xuanxiao and Ye Yingjie saw that scene very clearly. Just because it didn't affect them didn't mean they were happy.
on the contrary.
They wondered if the other party hadn't notified them, would they have been successfully attacked by now?
"The Xie family really has some impressive methods."
"Even if we weren't involved in this incident, the fact remains that we almost died." Lin Xuanxiao's voice was cold and sinister.
Ye Yingjie said, "The Xie family isn't so easy to mess with."
"Not willing to fight? Then find an opportunity to seriously injure them."
Lin Xuanxiao couldn't swallow this insult.
They won't meddle in Sheng Qian's affairs, but if they drag him into it, that's a different story.
Ye Yingjie narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his dark pupils. "I'll take men to investigate."
Lin Xuanxiao nodded.
We need to find out who almost killed them.
After this incident, they became even more cautious.
We cannot let our guard down just because we are in Haicheng.

Sheng Qian escaped unscathed, without sustaining any harm. Xie Linlang, who had made the move, frowned and slapped her own person across the face, saying, "What a waste! You made such a fuss and still couldn't deal with a woman."
"Miss Linlang, that woman is very lucky."
"Luck? Don't make excuses for your incompetence. I don't want to hear about a second failure. Arrange the next operation as soon as possible."
The bodyguards hired to work for the Xie family exchanged glances and had no choice but to comply.
Xie Linlang took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in her heart.
The Xie family's butler brought in a person, and Xie Linlang's eyes lit up when she saw him.
Because that was someone close to Yan Shuze.
"Miss Xie, our patriarch wishes to see you."
Xie Linlang's lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes gleaming. "Now?"
The other person nodded.
Xie Linlang couldn't wait to go there, so of course she didn't doubt that the other party was lying.
They arrived at the meeting place arranged by Yan Shuze, which was a pavilion on a high vantage point with a panoramic view.
Standing here, Yan Shuze can get a panoramic view of everything in front of him.
"Master, Miss Xie Qi has arrived."
The person leading the way came up behind him and gave him a reminder.
Yan Shuze turned around and saw Xie Linlang with a smile on her face. Ignoring the expectation in her eyes, Yan Shuze stood there silently.
"You called me here because you want to..."
"Smack."
Yan Shuze slapped Xie Linlang without hesitation.
Xie Linlang's eyes widened in shock as she turned to look at Yan Shuze. "You!"
"You did it?" Although he asked, his tone was certain.
"What?"
The next second, Xie Linlang's throat was gripped. Yan Shuze's cold gaze fell on Xie Linlang, and he slowly tightened his grip without saying a word.
Xie Linlang's face turned bright red, but he still showed no sign of letting go.
Xie Linlang pounded on his hand desperately, but it wouldn't budge.
Yan Shuze wanted to kill her!
Why?
At this moment, Xie Linlang was still thinking about the obstacles between them, rather than her own dangerous escape.
Yan Shuze looked terrifying at that moment.
Neither happy nor angry.
He looked expressionless.
This was the first time Xie Linlang had seen Yan Shuze like this, and she was trembling with fear.
"Cough cough!"
Just when Xie Linlang thought she was dead, he released her.
He fell to the ground due to lack of oxygen and didn't recover for a long time.
"Why..." she asked breathlessly, "because of Sheng Qian?"
Yan Shuze squatted down, pinched her chin, and his dark, cold eyes were full of ruthlessness. "You're glad she's alright, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to keep your body intact either."
"So it was for her after all," Xie Linlang gritted her teeth in resentment. "Why her? Why couldn't you choose me?"
"I thought you were a smart person, but it turns out you're just a fool."
Yan Shuze disliked women who fawned over him; no, he should say he disliked women who thought they were clever.
“I’m not stupid, I’m just unwilling to accept it. What’s so great about her that you would rather choose her than me? If you had chosen me, you would have had access to many of the Xie family’s benefits, without any conditions.”
So why couldn't it be her instead of Sheng Qian, who offered him no benefit whatsoever?
Yan Shuze smiled sinisterly, grabbed Xie Linlang's long hair and pulled it up. "Anyone who hurts her is going against me, Yan Shuze. Since you're going against me, you should be able to imagine the final result. I remember your brother is going to do business outside the area recently, I hope he can return safely."
Xie Linlang's eyes widened suddenly: "What are you doing?"
"Who do you think you are, daring to lay a hand on her?" Yan Shuze shook her head, slamming it to the ground.
The pain caused Xie Linlang's vision to go completely black.
"roll."
Yan Shuze uttered a single word in a gloomy tone.
Xie Linlang clutched her aching head and looked at Yan Shuze with resentment.
She still can't believe that Yan Shuze would treat her like this. She is the daughter of the Xie family!
Why should he treat her like this for an outsider? Since he intends to cooperate with the Xie family, he should know that it's much better to please her than to treat her so harshly.
All for Sheng Qian.
Xie Linlang walked out disheveled, clutching her wound, her eyes filled with gloom.
She won't just let it go like that.
*
Sheng Qian headed straight towards the Xie family's residence, but was stopped by someone along the way.
It was Yan Shuze who was watching her.
Yan Shuze got out of the car and stood there looking at her: "What are you looking for? I can help you."
