Chapter 936: Chapter 936: I’ll Go in Your Place
In his mind, scenes from the wedding day vaguely emerged—the masked woman assassin who kidnapped Luo Shiqi and forced Ye Shikai to run from the ceremony to save her, along with three Mothmen, nearly killing Ye Shikai. Her high-level martial arts were almost on par with Ye Shikai’s, and her movements were ghostly. The black-clad woman Soul Destroyer encountered was also highly skilled; even Soul Destroyer wasn’t her match. And she claimed they knew each other, something suggesting that this mysterious woman could very likely be that assassin.
“It’s truly terrifying,” Ye Shikai couldn’t help but murmur.
“Boss, what’s the matter? Could it be… you actually know her?” Ghost also sensed something was off. Ye Shikai rarely showed this kind of expression—one as if about to face the Death God.
“Heh, if I’m not mistaken, we actually have met. But at that time, her face was covered, so I couldn’t see her face, which means… I don’t know who she is either.” Ye Shikai waved his hand. Since this woman could bring Mothmen back then, it implies she had some connection with Boss Xing. She almost killed him, and thinking back now, it’s really unsettling. On the wedding day, Su Qingyu almost became a widow, and Ye Shikai is naturally someone with a temper. The wedding was nearly ruined by this woman; how could he not be angry?
“What? Boss, who is she?”
“Do you remember my wedding day when Luo Shiqi was kidnapped?” Ye Shikai said calmly, still feeling the fright of that day.
“Of course, when Miss Luo was kidnapped, I immediately sent people to rescue her, and Lord Moon God and Lord War God also went,” Ghost recalled vividly.
“If I’m right, this woman is the main culprit from that day.”
“What, so that’s how it is.” Ghost was shocked and couldn’t help but exclaim, “Boss, don’t worry. I’ll take people to catch her now. No matter how great she is, she’s not our match.”
“Wait a moment.” Ye Shikai stopped Ghost, indicating him not to get agitated.
“Boss, this woman nearly wrecked your and the Miss’s wedding. Now she dares to come to us, even wants to ‘be the boss;’ it’s intolerable.”
“Since she’s here, it seems she’s ready for us to capture her. So if we act now, wouldn’t we be playing right into her hand?” Ye Shikai shook his head, “Moreover, she doesn’t seem to be infiltrating Netherworld Palace to cause destruction. Neither you nor Nightmare can leave Yanjing now. So why not let that woman manage the South American operations a bit?”
Ye Shikai’s words sounded very bold, letting an enemy control his forces—a behavior unheard of in the Underworld.
“Boss, are you…serious?”
“Of course, Soul Destroyer and Demoness aren’t naive. Even if that woman dares to strike, they won’t easily get hurt. Furthermore, I have a feeling she will manage things well.”
“Boss, I’m still not at ease. As the saying goes, there is no gain without risk. This woman surely has her motives. If we let it go and something goes wrong…”
“At least her goals align with ours now. So I can make use of her.”
“Boss, I still feel it’s inappropriate; should I… consult with Lord Moon God, let her take charge?” Ghost clearly didn’t have the courage.
“Forget it; I’ll talk to her myself.”
“This clean-up of the Cam Gang, I’ve already had Jeddon gather manpower and firearms in Europe to be sent to South America. It’s a big local gang, and since Boss also supports the action, let’s make a big move.” Ghost handed Ye Shikai a list—imported firearms and explosives, all large-caliber weapons.
“Just what I wanted. Otherwise, let those people underestimate us too much.” Ye Shikai nodded slightly. Had he not been busy with selection work at the base these days, he might have gone to South America long ago.
“Also, Johnson seems to have found clues related to the leak during the Dragon Tooth operation, which is why he was silenced. And according to mine and Soul Destroyer’s speculation, the mastermind behind the Cam Gang’s attack on us is also them.”
“What, related to that operation?” Ye Shikai shouted excitedly.
“Yes, that woman named Bai Jiao also confirmed it.”
“Quickly, help me book a ticket, fly to South America tomorrow morning.”
…………………
“Coming over in such a hurry, are you in trouble again?” Ji Qian ate apple slices, glancing at Ye Shikai who just entered.
“You seem to read minds every time.” Ye Shikai jested.
“I heard from Ghost, there seems to be some issue in South America. And now you’ve just come from the training base, you must be swamped.” Ji Qian said coolly.
“Hmm, you know well.”
“Then, I’m guessing you want me to help this time.” Ji Qian put down the apple, resting her chin on her jade-like hand, looking at Ye Shikai with deep meaning.
“Yes.” Ye Shikai felt a bit embarrassed; he seemed to seek Ji Qian’s help every time.
“I need to go to South America for a few days to handle things. Someone needs to oversee the situation in Yanjing; Ghost might be too stretched. I hope you… can help a bit.”
“Is that all?” Ji Qian suddenly uttered after a few seconds.
“Yes, that’s all.”
“You’ve stayed at the base for over ten days, and don’t plan to spend more time with Qingyu? You must know that after marriage, women have many ‘little thoughts’.” Ji Qian suddenly shifted the topic to Su Qingyu, leaving Ye Shikai at a loss for words.
“After returning from South America, I’ll spend time with her.”
“Don’t go to South America, stay in Yanjing, spend more time with her,” Ji Qian interrupted Ye Shikai.
“Ah, what do you mean?”
“I’ll go to South America for you.” Ji Qian made an astonishing offer, prompting Ye Shikai to reject immediately. He didn’t want to trouble Ji Qian too much, perhaps due to his guilt, and the matters in South America involved clues from the Dragon Tooth operation four years ago; Ye Shikai wanted to go personally, hoping to uncover something.
“No, I don’t want to drag you into this, and it’s my responsibility.” Ye Shikai firmly disagreed.
“This is my choice, it’s unrelated to you, better stay here.” Ji Qian continued, “Spend time with Qingyu, don’t let her feel cold-hearted.”
