Not long after!
Ye Cangtian rushed to the courtyard, and the tightly closed gate was pushed open by him.
As soon as he walked in, a group of stray cats scurried over and rubbed against his trouser legs.
"Gu Yue!"
He called out twice, but no one answered.
Ye Cangtian then searched through various rooms and finally found Gu Yue's mobile phone in the living room.
From the traces in the courtyard, it seemed that no fight had occurred here before, but Gu Yue seemed to have truly disappeared.
Ye Cangtian's expression darkened slightly, showing a bit of anxiety.
Just as he was about to call Liu Rumei and ask her to mobilize her underground forces to help investigate clues, the sound of a door opening echoed.
The courtyard gate was pushed open, and Gu Yue walked in with a bag.
Seeing this, Ye Cangtian breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was stern as he said, "Where did you go? Didn't I tell you not to leave this yard?"
Those three hidden quasi-S-class assassins might be searching the city for her right now, yet she had gone out on her own.
How dangerous would it be if she encountered those three?
Gu Yue was slightly stunned by the reprimand, then picked up a plastic bag in her hand and said, "I bought some cat food from the pet store nearby; the cat food at home is all gone!"
"..."
At a time like this, she still had the mood to care about these cats, disregarding her own life?
Ye Cangtian was speechless. He then raised the mobile phone in his hand and said helplessly, "Then at least bring your phone with you! I thought you had already fallen into their hands."
"Why do you care so much about me!"
Gu Yue couldn't help but lower her head, her face slightly blushing. She pulled the phone from Ye Cangtian's hand and said softly, "I'm not used to carrying my phone, but I'll try to keep it with me from now on!"
Ye Cangtian did not notice the detail of her blushing. He nodded. He could understand Gu Yue's habit of not carrying a phone.
After all, as a former assassin, carrying communication devices could easily lead to being tracked or having information stolen.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, professional killers would not carry any communication devices.
A moment later!
Gu Yue was taking care of the stray cats in the yard, while Ye Cangtian smoked and pondered the matter of the three quasi-S-class assassins.
With the police now involved, those three assassins would likely be even more anxious to find Gu Yue's whereabouts.
If they could wait until the three assassins were forced to leave, that would be a good thing!
But he was afraid that those three might have already found this place and were waiting for an opportunity to strike.
Ye Cangtian threw away the cigarette butt, stood up, and said, "Gu Yue, do you want to go out?"
Gu Yue was startled and looked at him doubtfully!
Didn't you tell me not to go out?
Ye Cangtian smiled lightly, "Instead of letting them not find you and resort to desperate measures, it's better to find a way to lure them out."
Gu Yue thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.
However, they had already used the tactic of luring out "Flying Dagger" last time, would they fall for it again?
Just then, a knock came from outside.
"Is Mr. Ye there?"
Ye Cangtian frowned, stood up, walked to the courtyard gate, opened the gate, and saw three people standing outside.
"Mr. Ye, I am Guo Hai. We met yesterday at the seaside teahouse." The person in the lead had a beer belly and was accompanied by two subordinates.
Ye Cangtian looked at him and asked indifferently, "Is there something?"
Guo Hai said with a smile, "Yesterday, I was fortunate to witness Mr. Ye's astonishing performance that shook the entire venue. Therefore, I, Guo, wish to befriend Mr. Ye. Could you allow me to come in and talk?"
Ye Cangtian turned and let the three of them in. He was not afraid of them playing any tricks.
Leading the three into the courtyard, Ye Cangtian said calmly, "What is it, speak!"
Guo Hai was slightly taken aback. As a prominent figure and a big boss in the sand and stone business, he was always treated with courtesy wherever he went. Yet here, he wasn't even offered a stool.
Although he felt slightly displeased, Guo Hai still smiled and said, "Then I'll get straight to the point. Mr. Ye's strength is formidable, and I especially need the help of an expert like Mr. Ye."
He glanced at Gu Yue, who was standing behind Ye Cangtian. Her peerless beauty was breathtaking.
Therefore, he did not mention the matter of the woman and directly said, "Of course, as compensation, I am willing to offer Mr. Ye a yearly remuneration of ten million!"
Ten million was an absolutely huge reward!
After all, even hiring retired soldiers as bodyguards would only cost hundreds of thousands in annual salary.
Therefore, any intelligent person would not refuse such good treatment.
Guo Hai smiled and looked at Ye Cangtian, only to see him refuse without any hesitation, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested!"
"Does Mr. Ye feel the amount is too little?" Guo Hai was slightly taken aback.
"Indeed, I am not interested in money! So, whether it's ten million or a hundred million, I'm not interested. Therefore, Boss Guo should find someone else!" Ye Cangtian said indifferently.
Not interested in money?
Guo Hai's expression darkened. It was the first time he had met someone who disliked money.
He was silent for a while, and finally, as if making a decision, he said, "Mr. Ye, how about this? You have strong combat skills, and I have inexhaustible wealth. We can join forces."
"Currently, in the underworld, only Overlord Tiger has a strong presence. If you and I join forces to defeat Overlord Tiger, and then eliminate Liu Rumei and the others."
"Then, the two of us will jointly dominate the underworld, how about it?"
Guo Hai finished speaking and looked at Ye Cangtian.
The latter did not seem to be lacking in women, as the woman in front of him was very beautiful, and even he, Guo Hai, found it difficult to find a woman more beautiful than her.
Since the other party did not lack women and was not interested in money, he must be interested in power, right?
"Are you finished?"
Ye Cangtian took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, and said indifferently, "If you're finished, you can leave!"
Guo Hai gritted his teeth and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Ye, are you really not going to consider it?" Su Dan Novel Network
Ye Cangtian exhaled a smoke ring, his voice gradually turning cold, "I said, I am not interested in people like you. Do not bother me in the future. Alright, you can go, I won't see you out!"
"..."
Guo Hai's entire face turned green. He had lowered himself and made various promises, yet the other party was so ungracious!
He felt a bit angry, but thinking of the other party's strong abilities, he suppressed the urge to lose his temper and turned to say, "Then... goodbye!"
With his two subordinates, Guo Hai quickly left the courtyard.
After returning to the car, he could no longer suppress his furious expression and slammed the car door fiercely.
"He really doesn't know what's good for him!"
"Boss, are we just going to let it go like this? This person is too arrogant and gave us no face!" a subordinate beside him said indignantly.
Guo Hai couldn't help but curse, "What else do you want to do? Gather our brothers and beat him up? Have you forgotten that even Overlord Tiger suffered losses yesterday?"
The two subordinates' expressions changed slightly, and they said no more.
Guo Hai took a deep breath, picked up a cigar from the side, lit it, and grunted, muttering, "Does he really think he's someone just because he's strong?"
