Chapter 629: The Forgotten Ex-Husband

“Are you threatening me?”

Yeh Hannian laughed, “I wouldn’t dare.

I’m just offering you a suggestion.”

Chu Yao chuckled along, but her laughter sounded chilling, “You’re more than welcome to try, contact her, and I’ll have you driven out of Rongcheng City.”

“Heh!” Yeh Hannian exclaimed in surprise, yet his tone remained amused, “Is that so powerful?”

Chu Yao rolled her eyes, too lazy to keep talking, and simply hung up the phone.

As Yeh Hannian heard the dial tone, he was still a bit slow to react.

“What’s that saying in Country C?”

Sitting in front of a full-length window, he leaned back in his executive chair, tapping his chin with his phone, “He who touches vermilion will be stained red, and he who touches ink will be stained black.

Why are all her friends just like her temperament-wise?”

Yeh Xiao’s gaze drifted to the side, not daring to meet Yeh Hannian’s eyes, and he responded vaguely, “That must be it, otherwise they couldn’t hang out together.”

Yeh Hannian slowly started to smile, “Interesting.”

This man was always like this, never letting his emotions show on his face, showing nothing but a smile.

Even when killing someone, the corners of his mouth would be slightly raised.

Yeh Xiao presented the news he had just received, “Sir, since you left Mingzhou, the operatives with the code name ‘C’ have been restless, and I’ve learned that several groups have entered Rongcheng.”

Yeh Hannian hissed softly, “What do you think, if I went directly to Xiao Nannan, greeted her with a ‘hi’, and said I’m your forgotten ex-husband, how would that be?”

Yeh Xiao’s face instantly turned pale.

Here he was speaking seriously about important matters, uncertain if Yeh Hannian was even listening.

He must not have been, otherwise how could his mind still be preoccupied with a woman.

Yeh Xiao sincerely advised, “I wouldn’t recommend it, you’d probably get hit.”

Yeh Hannian stroked his chin, smiling, “That is truly troublesome.”

“In recent years, since the Killing Alliance pulled out of Mingzhou, you’ve been unrivaled, but several forces have been opposing you non-stop.

Especially the ‘C’ codenamed operatives who defected from the Night Emperor.

Your own fifth uncle is now the number one trader, openly and secretly wishing to kill you, and now he has followed you to Rongcheng—”

“Let’s just forget it, I also think this method won’t work, do you have any good suggestions?” Yeh Hannian suddenly looked up, to the unknowing, his expression appeared as if he was eager for knowledge.

Pursuing a woman, does it need to be so overthought!

Yeh Xiao’s mouth almost twitched with irritation, he held back, but still couldn’t help but be insubordinate, “Your fifth uncle, your own fifth uncle, has come to assassinate you!”

“Oh,” Yeh Hannian looked down again, “That’s troublesome, isn’t it?

What if it scares her.”

Yeh Xiao: “…”

He didn’t want to speak and felt it was a waste of emotion.

The man in front of him was the emperor of the underworld in Mingzhou, the founder of the Night Emperor organization so powerful that even the neighboring countries of Y and Z didn’t dare provoke him.

If it were not for Yeh Hannian’s influence, Mingzhou, situated between the two nations, would have been devoured completely by now.

But hardly anyone was grateful to him, not to mention others, even direct and collateral relatives of the Yeh Family harbored many people, with the leader of the operatives codenamed ‘C’ being Yeh Hannian’s fifth uncle.

Always coveting Yeh Hannian’s position.

Finally, seeing the opportunity with Yeh Hannian away from Mingzhou, away from his strongest backing, presented the best chance for assassination.

“Tonight, send out two teams to mess with my fifth uncle’s arrogance, keep them quiet for a while, and hold a meeting afterward.”

Yeh Xiao’s blood boiled with excitement as he looked at Yeh Hannian.

His master was finally willing to get down to business.

But the next sentence, he wished he could go deaf.
