This…
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze’s face instantly turned pale, immediately understanding Ye Cangtian’s intentions.
If he were to publicize this matter, few would suspect he was coerced. Those factions he ambushed would come seeking him.
At that time, Ye Cangtian could effortlessly destroy the Shinobu Division and the Viper mercenary group. This scheme was truly vicious!
Thinking this, Xiao Ze’s gaze flickered with a hint of ruthlessness as he said, "Our Shinobu Division members only fight to the death, never retreat!"
"Bah!"
Ye Cangtian’s face showed deep disdain. If the other party didn’t know how to retreat, why would they ask for conditions?
This meant that when the other party spoke, their heart had already faltered.
And now they were putting on airs of integrity in front of him. Truly shameless!
Sensing Ye Cangtian’s gaze, Xiao Ze’s face flushed red. He could no longer stand it, let out a roar, and charged towards Ye Cangtian…
…
A moment later!
Footsteps echoed on the deck.
Zhang Liang and the others from the ship’s cabin, along with Shangguan Yun, finally rushed over.
But upon reaching the deck, everyone discovered that all the Japanese ninjas and members of the Viper mercenary group were lying on the ground.
Meanwhile, Ye Cangtian stood by the railing, slowly smoking a cigarette, lost in thought.
“Brother-in-law, are you alright?” Xu Shi’an stepped forward and asked.
Ye Cangtian slowly shook his head and said, “I’m fine. I was just thinking, since the Shinobu Division and the Viper mercenary group are so arrogant, perhaps it’s time we taught them an unforgettable lesson!”
“Great! Great! Take me with you!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Shi’an’s injuries seemed to have healed by more than half, and he immediately became energetic.
When the Shinobu Division was at its most arrogant, they had constantly been in covert clashes with the Dragon Group and the Hidden Group, suffering losses on both sides. He had crossed paths with the Shinobu Division before!
“Hmph! You should focus on recovering from your injuries first!”
Ye Cangtian snorted dismissively, then said, “They should still have spirit stones on them. Don’t waste them, find them and distribute them to everyone.”
Dealing with the Shinobu Division and the Vipers was currently just an idea for Ye Cangtian; implementing it required detailed planning.
Firstly, the Shinobu Division and the Vipers were not trash. They possessed a certain level of strength and mastery of modern weaponry, capable of inflicting significant casualties.
Secondly, his current identity was that of a Dragon Group member, loyal to Huaxia. This matter couldn’t be rushed, and at the very least, it couldn’t escalate into a national conflict.
On the other side, Xu Shi’an didn’t linger on the matter. He joined others in searching for spirit stones.
To everyone’s astonishment, they found over a hundred spirit stones on these individuals, even more than what the other Dragon Group members had collected combined.
Heavens, how many people had these two factions scammed!
Seeing the astonished faces, Ye Cangtian smiled slightly and said, “You all take them. Hurry and improve your strength.”
Uh…
Everyone was shocked again. Logically, Ye Cangtian had dealt with these people, so the spirit stones should belong to him.
It was already considered very considerate for them to receive even a portion.
But they never expected that these hundred spirit stones were not even in Ye Cangtian’s consideration.
Then there was only one conclusion: Ye Cangtian must have had considerable gains in the ruins, far exceeding these.
Thinking this, Xu Shi’an quickly chuckled and said, “Brother-in-law, I won’t be polite. I’ll help you find a match later, so you can marry my sister sooner…”
What started as a joke almost made Ye Cangtian lose his footing.
Shangguan Yun and the others laughed heartily before leaving the deck.
They also knew the hidden context. Ye Cangtian and Xu Weiwei were impossible, so they treated it as a joke.
…
The journey back was relatively peaceful.
Besides encountering the Japanese Shinobu Division and the Viper mercenary group, they encountered some speedboats on the sea, but no friction occurred.
After safely arriving in Romance City, Ye Cangtian directly led his group onto the plane back to Huaxia.
…
Two days later!
Eager to return, Ye Cangtian, upon reaching Huaxia, headed straight for Yangzhou.
The expectant look in Tang Xinwan’s eyes when he left, and the scene of her secretly watching from behind the curtains, were still vivid in his memory.
Therefore, he had to go back immediately to report his safety!
As for Old Master Xu, he would deal with it later when he had time. After all, Xu Shi’an and the others would be reporting the situation in the ruins when they returned to the capital.
Upon returning to the villa, it was already evening, and the master bedroom was pitch black.
Ye Cangtian tiptoed in, his heart instantly filled with emotion as he looked at the prepared sleeping mat.
She seemed to have become much thinner…
Turning his gaze to the bed, at the sleeping beautiful face, Ye Cangtian’s heart felt a slight ache. He finally took a deep breath.
Bending down slightly, he gently kissed her cheek.
…
The next morning.
As the sun just began to rise, Ye Cangtian opened his eyes. However, as he moved slightly, he felt someone else beside him, holding him tightly.
Turning his head, he saw that this person was none other than Tang Xinwan, who should have been sleeping soundly in bed.
But for some reason, she was now on the floor mat beside him, holding him tightly, which truly surprised him.
This scene completely warmed Ye Cangtian’s heart, and a hint of intense smugness even arose.
Hmph, and she said it was a year-long test period?
The time hadn't even passed, and you crawled into my bed, haha…
Meanwhile, Tang Xinwan also woke up due to Ye Cangtian’s movement.
Seeing him looking at her with a smug expression, her pretty face instantly turned bright red, and she felt incredibly shy!
When Ye Cangtian was on his mission, she truly couldn’t sleep at night, constantly worried about his safety, and slept very lightly.
After Ye Cangtian impulsively kissed her yesterday, she had woken up but dared not move.
After all, it was a girl’s shyness. Responding felt awkward, and not responding also felt awkward.
Of course, she also felt a vague sense of anticipation and nervousness. What if something truly happened? She wasn’t prepared…
However, her long-felt longing and worry ultimately drove her to a bold action. While Ye Cangtian was sleeping soundly, she quietly lay down beside him.
She was truly content just to lie there peacefully beside Ye Cangtian, which was the limit of her courage.
Yet, upon waking up in the morning, everything had changed.
She was now holding him tightly, in such an intimate manner that it made her feel ashamed and wish she could burrow into the ground. She quickly got up to wash up.
After a while!
Ye Cangtian also got up and went downstairs after washing.
He glanced at Tang Xinwan preparing breakfast in the kitchen. The housekeeper, Aunt Zhang, had taken leave for personal matters these past two days.
Occasionally seeing Tang Xinwan busy in the kitchen, Ye Cangtian found it enjoyable even just watching from afar.
“You scoundrel, what are you looking at! If you look again, I’ll dig your eyes out!”
Tang Xinwan said through gritted teeth, her face red.
She didn’t turn around, but she knew the scoundrel was looking at her with a smug expression, which made her feel even more ashamed.
Speaking of which, what was she thinking last night! Actually…
How embarrassing!
“Heh heh, what’s wrong with me looking at my own wife?”
Ye Cangtian grinned mischievously, tiptoed behind her, secretly reached around her waist, and hugged her tightly from behind.
“Ah! You scoundrel, I’m cooking! Let go of me…”
The sudden attack made Tang Xinwan’s heart race even faster. She felt shy and even more flustered.
But feeling his warm embrace and solid chest, she seemed to have lost all her strength and couldn’t break free.
Her body even leaned back slightly, as if trying to merge into his embrace.
Ye Cangtian deeply inhaled the scent of her hair, feeling somewhat intoxicated!
At this moment, all the residual malice and fatigue accumulated in the ruins vanished. All that remained in his heart was warmth, and he wished he could hold her like this forever.
“Wife, I missed you so much!”
Tang Xinwan, who had been feeling shy and was about to get angry, suddenly trembled upon hearing this, and a sense of heartache began to surge within her.
Although Ye Cangtian’s tone was casual, she could hear a trace of weariness.
“I… I missed you too. Alright, get up now. We have to go to the company after breakfast!” Tang Xinwan said gently.
“Oh, right, I need to go to the capital for a couple of days,” Ye Cangtian said after some thought.
He still needed to go to the capital to report the matter of the ruins in detail to Old Master Xu.
Tang Xinwan nodded gently upon hearing this: “Then let’s go together. I also want to visit the branch company in the capital.”
