"Ye Xuan, I just heard the sound of glass breaking. Are you okay?"
At this mont, there was a knock at the door. It turned out Xu Lingyue had heard the noise and rushed over.
Ye Xuan walked over and opened the door. He saw Xu Lingyue standing outside, looking worried.
As she was about to enter, Ye Xuan suddenly rembered there was an unhandled corpse in the room. If Xu Lingyue saw it, she’d definitely be scared out of her wits.
"Wait a second!"
Ye Xuan hurriedly stopped her to hold her back.
But it was a step too late. Xu Lingyue’s gaze had already passed him and fell upon Luo Xing’s corpse inside the room.
Due to the previous tornt and agony, his facial muscles were stiff, his expression horrifying like a ghoul.
"Ah..."
Sure enough, a piercing scream erupted from Xu Lingyue’s mouth, as if to pierce one’s eardrum in the small space.
The next mont, a soft body threw itself into Ye Xuan’s arms!
She seed truly terrified just now. Ye Xuan could clearly feel her body trembling intensely.
Embarrassnt swept across his face. It was the middle of the night, and being embraced by such a beauty was a bit overwhelming.
"Don’t be afraid, it’s just a dead person."
Gently patting Xu Lingyue’s back, Ye Xuan consoled her.
"Ye Xuan, who...who is he?"
By now, Xu Lingyue had sowhat recovered, but her voice still trembled, her head buried in Ye Xuan’s chest, afraid to look up.
"An assassin."
Ye Xuan did not hide it; such a matter couldn’t be concealed anyway.
What?
Xu Lingyue was startled: "An assassin! Why would there be an assassin in my house? Oh right... Ye Xuan, are you hurt?"
"Heh, just this little character, doesn’t even deserve to hurt ?"
To put Xu Lingyue at ease, Ye Xuan deliberately chuckled.
However, he wasn’t lying either. An assassin of Luo Xing’s caliber wouldn’t even rank in the world’s top one hundred, at best he was a third-rate assassin!
Even the King of Assassins dared not attempt an assassination on Ye Xuan. This small fry character was purely courting death.
Feeling Xu Lingyue’s fearful emotions, Ye Xuan said helplessly: "Little Yueyue, let’s talk outside, the sll of blood here is too strong."
Xu Lingyue hurriedly agreed, not wanting to stay even a mont in the room with a dead person.
In the living room, Xu Lingyue suddenly realized she was still lying in Ye Xuan’s arms, and a blush crept up her pretty face.
She quickly got up and pushed Ye Xuan away, but there was a hint of reluctance in her heart. Ye Xuan’s embrace felt warm and inviting.
Being too scared, Xu Lingyue turned on all the lights in the living room to gain a sense of security.
Imdiately, she picked up her phone and called her father, Xu Renhai.
Upon learning that an assassin had sneaked in to assassinate Ye Xuan, Xu Renhai was shocked and furious.
Ye Xuan’s identity was not only a distinguished guest to the Xu Family, but also a key to the potential recovery of Elder Xu.
If anything happened to Ye Xuan, her father truly wouldn’t survive.
At such a critical mont, having an assassin breaking in was not just targeting Ye Xuan, but was a death sentence for her father!
The first person Xu Renhai thought of was his brother Xu Renjie, who was highly suspicious.
However, it was all just his suspicion, with no direct evidence showing Xu Renjie had hard his father.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been left untouched until now.
"Ye Xuan, who do you think sent the assassin?" asked Xu Lingyue after hanging up the call.
Ye Xuan shook his head: "I’m not sure, but there’s definitely an insider in your Xu Family working with the assassin to kill ! And very likely, this person is soone from Yunqi Villa."
He didn’t ntion Xu Renjie, lacking evidence to point directly, so it was better not to tell Xu Lingyue for now.
"How do you know that?" Xu Lingyue asked in confusion.
A glimr of coldness flashed in Ye Xuan’s eyes: "Isn’t it obvious? The security of the villa estate is tight, yet the assassin easily bypassed the guards and sneaked in without a sound, clearly knowing the patrol and shift timings of the guards! Furthermore, and more importantly, the assassin had a key to your house. How did he get it? I think you can guess."
What?
Hearing this, Xu Lingyue’s face instantly changed!
Realizing that the attacker could easily break into the villa and had a key, a chill spread all over Xu Lingyue’s body.
"One more strange point, once the assassin infiltrated the villa, he headed straight to my room! This is quite intriguing, given so many rooms in the villa, why did he imdiately find where I was staying?"
Ye Xuan’s gaze flickered as he spoke: "I only arrived here tonight, and nobody knew in advance which room I’d stay in! Yet this assassin knew my location, indicating not just efficiency and speed, but that the location had already been leaked! There are two possibilities: one, the villa is monitored; two, soone inside the villa has been bought."
Xu Lingyue’s expression darkened.
If the villa was indeed monitored, wouldn’t her privacy be completely exposed?
Especially during bathing and changing...
Observing her worry, Ye Xuan said: "Rest assured, based on my guess, it’s unlikely that the villa has surveillance, as it could easily leak secrets! It should be that your villa’s cleaning or staff have been bribed."
Xu Lingyue’s expression changed, "Besides , only Aunt Wang knew I was staying here, but why would she betray ?"
With furrowed brows, she clearly couldn’t believe Aunt Wang would betray her!
She took out her phone, preparing to call her.
But the call never went through; a series of blind tones echoed from the other end.
"If I’m not mistaken, this Aunt Wang has already escaped." Ye Xuan shrugged.
Xu Lingyue’s face turned grim, "Why would she betray ? The benefits and salary I provide are the best in all of Yunqi Villa!"
Ye Xuan said: "These days, no one turns their back on money! So benefits weren’t negotiated just because the price wasn’t right."
"But, if she needed money, she could’ve told . Why commit betrayal..."
Xu Lingyue still couldn’t understand.
"Who knows?"
Ye Xuan shrugged and suddenly noticed Xu Lingyue’s outfit, his eyes lit up.
"Hey? Ye Xuan, what are you looking at?"
Noticing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Bai Miaomiao asked in confusion.
"Ahem..."
Ye Xuan cleared his throat, pointing to Xu Lingyue’s chest area, "Little Yueyue, your clothes are... revealing."
Huh?
Xu Lingyue was taken aback, instinctively lowered her head to look at her front.
Imdiately, her face flushed red.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s wandering gaze, Xu Lingyue, embarrassed and frustrated, suddenly snapped with newfound daring, "You... close your eyes! If you keep looking, I’ll gouge your eyes out!"
