Chapter 117 Countdown: 5 Days



Yan Xiao had never sat in the same position for so long, doing the same thing so patiently, and observing the same person.

What was even more strange was that at this moment, he felt a peace and tranquility in his heart that he had never felt before.

It seems that somewhere in my heart, which has been floating around and has no place to go, has finally found a place to stay.

Found a trace of something called "stability".

In a daze, he felt that he had fallen asleep.

He actually fell asleep.

Haha, he hasn't had a good night's sleep in many years.

Struggling to wake up from nightmares over and over again, that feeling makes people angry, unwilling and desperate.

Why is it so difficult for him to have a sweet dream?

Why?

In a daze, he remembered that it seemed a long time ago, when he was very young, he also had a brother who covered him with a piece of clothing.

That was the warmth he felt when he was about to freeze to death from cold and hunger after running out of that hellish place after exhausting all the methods and strength he could think of.

But the warmth dissipated too quickly.

Before he could really feel the warmth, he saw the brother leading the man towards him, pointing the way.

He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to crawl, so of course he was caught again.

He was severely beaten and suffered torture more cruelly than before.

But for some reason, he always remembered clearly the feeling of that piece of clothing covering his body.

At that moment, it was like this person’s smile, like the sunlight that dispelled the haze and spread out to shine on my body.

That feeling is so comfortable that it makes people want to cry.

So, Yan Xiao finally fell asleep, and a crystal clear tear slowly slid down from the corner of his eye under the mask, and staggered into his hair.

Eventually, it disappeared.

It's like it's been soaking deep in my heart for years and I've finally found a way out.

The feeling of sleeping was so wonderful that he didn't want to wake up or open his eyes again.

After a long time, when Yan Xiao finally woke up, he was a little confused and dazed.

It was already dark outside the window.

This was the first time he didn't have a nightmare.

Ye Feng's holographic image is still playing in a loop.

Yan Xiao looked at it quietly for a while, then reached out and gently picked up the information about the person he found on the table.

It's so simple that it's unremarkable.

But the person he was confronting was not like that.

The man possessed a firmness and composure beyond his age, as well as a courage beyond his own experience.

The most special thing is that pair of eyes, firm and warm, like the dress in the dream.

This person is not like the ordinary and even weak and humble Ye Yi shown in the information.

There is a world of difference.

Why?

Yan Xiao said, "From now on, report to me everything you can find out about Ye Yi."

"Yes." The subordinate bowed quietly and stepped forward to receive the order.

Yan Xiao pondered for a while, then turned his head and added: "Don't let him find out, and don't disturb him."

"Yes." The subordinate bowed again and replied.

After waiting for a while, seeing that the master had no other instructions, he respectfully reported:

"Master, the organization just received a hunting order related to Mr. Ye Yi yesterday morning."

"Hmm?" Yan Xiao raised his eyelids, and wind blades blew from the corners of his eyes.

The man quickly continued, “Someone wants to buy Mr. Ye Yi’s life.

"The client didn't leave any information. Everything was anonymous. He simply paid the organization a hiring fee of 300,000 cards as agreed."

Yan Xiao narrowed his eyes: "Did anyone answer it?"

"My Lord, not yet."

The subordinate respectfully called up the internal task hall of the Meixue Organization and placed it in front of Yan Xiao.

Ye Feng's task number is relatively late, and he is not very famous, so no one has accepted it yet.

"Only three hundred thousand, haha."

Yan Xiao almost laughed, and waved his hand lazily: "The mission is withdrawn. Tell them that I will protect Ye Yi's life. He can set any conditions."

"yes!"

The subordinate thought about it, then mustered up the courage to ask quietly, "Master, should we also inform the other mercenary organizations?"

Yan Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at him, then suddenly asked, "What's your name?"

The subordinate's heart trembled.

Usually, when the master asks for someone's name, it is either because he wants to remember it and play with it to death later, or because he is in a bad mood and wants to play with it to death.

In short, it is not a good sign.

He couldn't help but regret his recklessness and talkativeness.

But the answer must be given immediately.

The Lord does not like people who act on their own, but he dislikes people who procrastinate even more.

He looked at his nose and his heart, and replied seriously: "My lord, good night."

"Ye?" Yan Xiao raised his eyebrows. "Your last name is Ye too?"

Ye An's heart trembled again, and he hurriedly said, "My Lord, it's the Ye in the night, which is not the same as the Ye in Mr. Ye Yi."

He really wanted to say spinelessly, if you don't like me, change now!

The name was not chosen with much care at first, as there are a lot of names like "night light" and "night travel" in the organization.

But now I really don’t dare to say anything more.

They have never been able to figure out their master's thoughts, and they only know that if they step on a landmine, they will suffer greatly.

But this time, the master did not get angry, nor did he say much, he only ordered:

"From now on, you will personally arrange Ye Yi's affairs and report to me personally. Go down."

Yan Xiao lowered his eyes and gently stroked the paper crane's wings with his fingers.

The heavy stone in Ye An's heart finally fell to the ground. He quickly retreated and went to process the cancellation of the task.
