Yes, Ye Cangtian truly harbored murderous intent.
Dr. Chen's wife and daughter, mere ordinary people, were caught in the crossfire due to Nanxi and Guiwu. They were simply too innocent.
Furthermore, Yale's methods were utterly detestable. Attacking ordinary elderly, weak, women, and children was utterly inhuman!
Such beasts deserved to die!
"Mr. Ye, I've told you everything. You can't kill me!"
"Besides, these weren't my plans. It was all Carmen's idea, and he gave the orders!"
Feeling the intense killing intent emanating from Ye Cangtian, Yale's heart turned cold.
He scrambled forward to Ye Cangtian, speaking rapidly and unceremoniously shifting the blame to Carmen.
Carmen had already fallen out with him. Moreover, without Carmen's guidance, he might have already eliminated Guiwu and Nanxi.
Even with that bracelet protecting them, he wouldn't have ended up in such a predicament.
Therefore, to retaliate against Carmen, Yale directly pinned the blame on him, hoping to divert Ye Cangtian's wrath.
Hmm?
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian glanced at Carmen instinctively.
Feeling that gaze, Carmen broke out in a cold sweat. He immediately pointed at Yale and angrily retorted, "You're spouting nonsense! Ever since we arrived in China, every major and minor decision has been yours. What does it have to do with me!"
Carmen knew that Ye Cangtian was determined to avenge Dr. Chen's wife and daughter. He quickly looked at Ye Cangtian and said, "Mr. Ye, don't listen to his lies! I really didn't do those things!"
"Hmph! You didn't do it? In our team, your status is higher than mine. If you don't give the order, who would dare to act?"
"Take this operation for example, why were you resting at Zijin Mansion while I led the team? Doesn't that explain everything?"
Yale snorted coldly upon hearing this and retorted.
A single sentence left Carmen speechless. This was clearly because the two had argued, which was why the other had left alone.
But Ye Cangtian might not believe this.
"Hmph! You two dogs biting each other, stop it here."
"I will give you separate rooms. Then you can argue to your heart's content and settle your differences."
"However, I warn you, if I see you again and you still haven't reached a consensus, then I'm afraid you will both die!"
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian directly produced a Spirit Sealing Pill and tossed it to Yale.
Seeing this, Yale understood immediately and swallowed it with extreme reluctance.
Just like Carmen before him, he had no choice. Either he would barely survive, or he would die here.
Compared to the latter, he could only choose the former, as he still had a slim chance of escaping.
On the other hand, seeing Yale's cooperation, Ye Cangtian went to Xu Shian and examined his injuries.
Although Xu Shian's injuries were severe, they were not life-threatening.
The next moment, Ye Cangtian took out a Great Revival Pill and gave it to Xu Shian, then looked back at Yale.
Yale flinched. The gaze was clearly demanding compensation, or else he would have to avenge Xu Shian.
Now that his spiritual energy was sealed, how could he withstand the other's retaliation!
Thinking thus, Yale quickly stepped forward and handed over his Qiankun Bag, saying, "Mr. Ye, my Qiankun Bag contains the miraculous healing medicine, Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, which will definitely help this brother recover."
"Mr. Ye, I have one in my Qiankun Bag too."
On the other side, Carmen, seeing this, didn't hesitate and also handed over his Qiankun Bag.
He was truly worried that Ye Cangtian's attitude might lean towards Yale because of the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir. If that happened, he would be the one to die.
Therefore, he absolutely could not fall behind in this matter.
"Heh heh, you two sure know how to play the game!"
Ye Cangtian chuckled, but he did not refuse. With a wave of his hand, he collected both of their Qiankun Bags, but he didn't immediately give the pills to Xu Shian.
The reason was simple: if Xu Shian took the pills, he would be like the two women, Guiwu and Nanxi, quietly absorbing the medicinal effects.
Now was clearly not the time. Moreover, although Xu Shian's injuries were severe, with the Great Revival Pill, his condition could be stabilized.
Thus, as time slowly ticked by.
About half an hour later, members of the Dragon Group began to return to the ICU corridor.
The people from the Temple of Light were very cunning; they all returned without success.
Ye Cangtian did not reprimand them. He simply instructed them to take Yale and Carmen to the Heaven-tier Room One for detention.
Just as he finished dealing with Yale and Carmen, Shangguan Yun arrived at the hospital.
He directly found Ye Cangtian and said, "The medical case you gave me, I've had professionals examine and analyze it..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian and the heavily injured Xu Shian both smiled.
Now that the masterminds, Yale and Carmen, had been apprehended, the analysis of this medical case was no longer that important.
However, since the investigation was complete, Ye Cangtian asked Shangguan Yun to continue, after all, it wouldn't do for the other to have worked in vain!
Similar to what Dr. Chen had said, the medical case showed no signs of poisoning in the two women.
The only thing that could be observed was that the women's bodily indicators were constantly declining, and they were likely to be in critical condition within a few days.
As for this phenomenon, the so-called experts offered no explanation.
On the other side, Shangguan Yun looked at the calm expressions of Ye Cangtian and Xu Shian.
He couldn't help but feel puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you two? Aren't you even a little curious?"
"Hahaha..."
Xu Shian couldn't hold back and burst out laughing. However, this laugh strained his injuries, and he let out a sharp gasp of pain.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, "Just half an hour before you arrived, we just dealt with the people from the Temple of Light who poisoned them..."
"Uh, dealt with them? Then I worked in vain?" Shangguan Yun was slightly stunned, then spoke.
Hearing this, Ye Cangtian waved his hand and said with a smile, "Alright, let's put this matter aside. Prepare yourself, you're going out with me tonight."
"There's an operation?"
Shangguan Yun asked instinctively upon hearing this. Seeing Ye Cangtian nod, his eyes lit up.
So, he quickly responded and asked, "What do I need to prepare?"
Ye Cangtian replied exasperatedly, "Idiot, what do you think an operation requires preparation for? Of course, it's for personnel!"
Uh...
Shangguan Yun was slightly taken aback, feeling a bit disappointed. He had thought Ye Cangtian would take him out alone. Now that he heard about preparing personnel, he felt a little let down.
However, regardless, this was an opportunity to act with Ye Cangtian, and he couldn't miss it.
...
Starlight twinkled, at midnight.
Cross Street Plaza.
In the dark corners surrounding the plaza, figures were gathering. These were the subordinates of Yale and Carmen from the Temple of Light.
Since they hadn't seen Yale and Carmen, they chose not to reveal themselves, lest they cause unnecessary trouble.
Hummm...
At some point, the hum of engines transmitted through the night sky.
The figures in the corners immediately became vigilant.
"What's going on?"
"It sounds like people from China's Dragon Group!"
"Brothers, do you think they're coming for us? Should we retreat first?"
"Impossible! People from the Hidden Group aren't fools. With such a big commotion, they would have alerted us already. If you ask me, they have a mission nearby!"
"That's right, brothers, stay hidden and don't let them discover you..."
Hearing the sound of helicopters, the people in the corners became flustered.
However, at this moment, they saw another figure slowly walking towards the plaza.
This figure was very familiar to them. It was Ye Cangtian, who was ranked high on the Temple of Light's bounty list.
As long as Ye Cangtian was killed, the Temple of Light would definitely give a generous reward.
However, at this moment, no one had the urge to act. Their faces were all tense.
They knew their own strength. Without Yale and Carmen, how could they be Ye Cangtian's match?
What made them tense was that they couldn't understand why Ye Cangtian would be here at midnight. This was the plan Yale had made with them just before the operation.
Could it be that Yale's operation had failed?
But Yale was their captain, how could he betray them?
As they pondered, they dared not make any moves. The distance to the plaza was not far, and any movement could lead to them being discovered by the other party.
