After a long while, the middle‑aged man sighed and said, "Ai! Forget it, forget it, I'm sick of this kind of life too…"
Then the middle‑aged man went to the wall and knocked a few tis; a door opened in the wall, and he left. The place once again returned to silence.
...
After Ye Hao left the Science and Technology Team, he drove that sports car from Tang Xiangdong's house to the 4S shop to have it repaired, then ran ho on foot.
By the ti he got ho, it was already past four in the morning.
Ye Hao quietly took a shower and then planned to go back to rest.
But at this mont there was a stunningly beautiful woman sitting on the sofa.
Seeing this, Ye Hao walked over and asked in a low voice, "Why aren't you asleep yet?"
"I might be leaving." The peerlessly beautiful woman was Wu Xiao. For so reason, the usually cold and indifferent Wu Xiao now had a trace of sorrow, as if reluctant yet also as if relieved; the feeling was very complicated.
"Leaving? Where are you going?" Ye Hao asked in confusion.
"I'll tell you a secret. Can you keep it?" Wu Xiao said.
"I can. I promise you, whatever you tell tonight, I'll keep it secret." Ye Hao promised.
"Then say it, stop dithering for half the night." At this mont, Cheng Dao crawled out from under the sofa, a bit grimy.
"You… why were you under there?" Ye Hao stared wide‑eyed at Cheng Dao.
Wu Xiao also stared at Cheng Dao in astonishnt. Ever since he ca to Dragon and Phoenix Castle, he'd been wearing very trendy clothes and was very clean. How co tonight he'd crawled under the sofa?
"Sigh, I dropped a coin just now, took forever to find it." Cheng Dao sighed.
"Idiot." Ye Hao and Wu Xiao glared at Cheng Dao in unison.
On the first day Cheng Dao arrived, Ye Hao had given him a million, and yet Cheng Dao had actually spent ages under the sofa for a single coin. You had to admit, he was a real weirdo!
"What do you two know? This is an antique coin, it's worth a lot." Cheng Dao said disdainfully.
"What antique coin?" Ye Hao asked with so curiosity. For those supposedly ancient, thousands‑of‑years‑old coins, Ye Hao also wanted to find so to study.
"An antique coin with Yuan Shikai's face on it. One of these is worth three of today's yuan…" Cheng Dao said with a thievish grin.
"Get lost! Get your ass out of here." Ye Hao barked. What the hell, Ni Ma, it was a coin with Yuan Shikai's face and he called it an antique!
Cheng Dao snickered and walked out, but as he was leaving, with his back to Wu Xiao and Ye Hao, he said, "Wu Xiao, your identity as Queen Elizabeth of Britain's personal bodyguard—do you even need to say it? Our grandmaster has long known."
With that, Cheng Dao left.
Hearing this, Ye Hao stared at Wu Xiao in astonishnt. But thinking carefully, Cheng Dao had just said he'd known for a long ti? If he'd known for a long ti, didn't that an he'd been hiding it from Wu Xiao? And hiding it from her ant he was going to get beaten up by her again, didn't it?
Thinking of this, Ye Hao realized what kind of sinister intentions Cheng Dao harbored. An uncle can endure, but an aunt cannot!
Ye Hao hurriedly explained, "Look, I really didn't know your identity…"
"So you knew my identity long ago. Looks like I don't need to say anything." Wu Xiao was unusually calm and didn't blow up.
"From the way you're talking, you really are Queen Elizabeth's bodyguard?" Ye Hao asked in surprise.
"Mm." Wu Xiao nodded softly.
"Damn, so you're actually one of the Queen's close favorites! Can you introduce to Elizabeth?" Ye Hao asked with a grin.
"Hehe, stop grinning like that. I know you don't care about Elizabeth at all. You're a very mysterious man. From the very beginning I suspected that the Bermuda Archipelago was blown up by you, but for lack of evidence I couldn't haul you off to Britain. But next ti you won't have it so easy; I'll ask my master to make a move on you." Wu Xiao said.
"You already have the strength to catch , so why do you need to ask your master?" Ye Hao asked doubtfully. He had a feeling what she said wasn't purely about arresting him.
"I said I'd arrest you when I had evidence that you blew up Britain's Bermuda Archipelago. Without evidence, how could I arrest you?" Wu Xiao said.
"So once your master cos, there'll suddenly be evidence?" Ye Hao asked.
"Have you heard of: 'Wuji brothers, two Heaven and Earth; Stepping on Snow Without Traces, drifting on willows; no sun in the east, a crescent moon; falling moon in the west awaits Langtian; Celestial Immortal Dreamless, ethereal and remote; a mortal lifeti saves the world; Kunlun, a mountain of moral dignity; atop Huashan, the Sword Saint is made; phoenix in the parasol tree, reborn from fire; after bitterness cos the barefoot immortal; Xu Mountain Celestial Awakening unknown to all; Red Dust Rolling and Falling Leaves Red'?" Wu Xiao said.
"I've heard of them. Don't tell your master is one of these people?"
"Yes. I think you're clever enough that you've already guessed who my master is, right?" Wu Xiao forced a smile.
Ye Hao rely smiled without confirming. If his guess was right, Celestial Immortal Dreamless should be Wu Xiao's master.
Because that gorgeous, unreal dreamscape Wu Xiao used to trick words out of him was exactly Celestial Immortal Dreamless's signature technique.
"I'm really grateful for the warmth you all gave during my ti at Dragon and Phoenix Castle. Just as I ca quietly, I'll leave quietly. I'm going now." With that, Wu Xiao was about to leave.
Ye Hao grabbed her hand, and Wu Xiao tensed, her body suddenly going a bit weak.
Ye Hao pulled her into his arms, his voice low and magnetic, "Wouldn't it be nice if you stayed? I've got plenty of money, I don't mind supporting one more little sister or big sister."
"You only see as a little sister or big sister?" Wu Xiao turned her head back, a faint mist in her eyes.
"Of course. You're so pretty and cute, like the girl next door." Ye Hao nodded. He wasn't a love‑fool, and he wasn't going to deliberately act like one.
He already had so many won; he felt that was enough. He didn't need to curry favor with other won.
But a woman like Wu Xiao—both beautiful and powerful—Ye Hao truly couldn't bear to see her go. Still, if in order to keep her he had to once again play the playboy, Ye Hao would rather not keep her.
"Hehe, no need. You already have plenty of pretty little sisters at ho, I'm leaving. I hope your career gets better and better, and that one day Huaxia can stand first among all nations."
"Ai! Since your mind is made up, if there's anything you need my help with, give a call. No matter what, I'll go through fire and water with you." Ye Hao was helpless; since she'd decided, he could only give her his blessing.
"Since you say that, I actually do have one thing I might need your help with. Have you heard of the IS Organization?" Wu Xiao suddenly thought of sothing and asked.
"I've heard of it. They say it's the biggest terrorist organization in the world." Ye Hao said with a smile.
"In front of you, what do those terrorists even count for?" Wu Xiao cast Ye Hao a wistful glance and said, "Lately the IS Organization's gone crazy for so reason, like rabid dogs wanting to stir up trouble in Great Britain. I suspect it's because the Queen is going to pass the throne to the little princess, and the eldest princess maybe couldn't take it, so she hired IS to muddy the waters."
"And what does that have to do with you?" Ye Hao asked. (To be continued. If you like this work, you're welco to go to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read at m.qidian.)
