Ke Ye's surprise flashed across his face.
He really hadn't expected that the woman they had been searching for would be Normanis's lost daughter.
"And what does that have to do with me? Who told her she was the chosen one..."
In Ke Ye's opinion, anyone who could obtain the world's only bottle from those decades was truly a girl kissed by heaven.
If he didn't already have his little girl, perhaps he would have been captivated by her uniqueness.
Xuan Mohan let out a cold laugh, his body exuding a bloodthirsty aura, "You are also chosen, but merely... a child of hell."
Qi Jiayou, with his men, instantly surrounded Ke Ye and... those "parents."
He could have escaped, but... he was greedy.
"Hahaha~ I really didn't expect that a mere bodyguard would attract so many important figures. But I am not defeated by you today, but rather... defeated by... this woman, Jian You... no, what was Normanis's daughter's name again? Norman Di Luo, right? I'll remember you!"
If she hadn't been acting in this, how could he have insisted on staying when he knew the situation had changed? Therefore, this entire situation was a complete loss due to this woman.
However, there was one thing he couldn't understand: "How did you detect my presence?"
"Heh heh~"
This time, it was a joyful, coquettish laugh. The little person who had been extremely agitated moments ago had now returned to normal, her expression filled with the arrogance of controlling the entire situation.
"If I'm not mistaken, you used that black cat to identify people?"
They were successful because of the cat, and they also failed because of it.
When she encountered that cat at the airport, she found it strange.
If it was said that the cat was special and got agitated when it smelled blood, that would be understandable. However, its eyes were full of greed, as if it smelled something delicious. Moreover, what kind of grown man brings a cat everywhere he goes? He didn't seem like a cat lover.
She had secretly kept that in mind at the time.
So, for the next period, she had been paying attention to her surroundings. For the first few days, there was indeed no news, but then one day, she suddenly saw them at school.
She pretended not to see anything and used counter-surveillance to inquire about their information, which led her to them.
The first day she started working for Mister, he had informed her about the enemy's situation, and there were no discrepancies with what she knew.
She guessed that the other party would likely send a capable person later.
She hadn't expected him to send his son, which showed they were determined to get her.
"Pah pah pah~ Smart, too smart! If my subordinates were half as smart as you, I wouldn't have to show up myself today."
"But what can be done... You are too smart, and destined to be buried..."
Jian You intensified her actions, her expression cold and distant, "That depends on your ability."
As early as their initial confrontation, her gun had already been aimed at him. Now that so many people had surrounded him, he had no chance of escaping!
Ke Ye seemed completely unfazed by his situation. He raised his eyelids to look at the undeniable man, then suddenly let out a mocking smile.
"Xuan Mohan, you too have a day where you bow down to a woman... Aren't you the most proud and ruthless? I... look down on you!"
"Did you hear that? You've disgraced us men!!"
Xuan Mohan's well-defined fingers unconsciously caressed the trigger, a cruel smile curling on his lips. He slowly walked towards Ke Ye...
"Xuan Mohan, don't come over! He's deliberately provoking you!"
As Xuan Mohan took his first step, Jian You immediately shouted loudly.
However, he showed no intention of stopping. Instead, he looked at Jian You with extreme tenderness, "Good girl, don't move around. I'll take you back..."
His words inexplicably made Jian You start to worry. For the first time, panic appeared on her face. She anxiously looked at Xuan Mohan, shaking her head repeatedly.
Ke Ye found Xuan Mohan's public display of affection to be extremely irritating. He clenched his fists tightly, the malice in his eyes impossible to hide.
This man had always been a step ahead of him, causing him to be punished every time he returned.
And despite all his efforts, he had gained nothing. On the contrary, Xuan Mohan had a successful career and now enjoyed happiness. Why?!
"Xuan Mohan... has anyone ever told you that you're truly disgusting..."
Xuan Mohan stopped, smiling at Jian You, his tone casual and slightly doting, "Wife, do you like me?"
"..."
At a time like this, he was still asking such irrelevant questions!!
Even the usually calm Jian You was becoming anxious. She looked at Xuan Mohan, remaining silent, and even gave him a warning look.
"Hm?"
Xuan Mohan completely ignored her, continuing their flirtatious banter as if no one else was around, showing no sign of giving up until he got an answer.
Jian You was utterly speechless. In this situation, she could only nod.
However... Xuan Mohan was not satisfied at all. Instead, he furrowed his brows and spoke in a slightly spoiled tone, "I want you to say it yourself..."
"..."
Is this ever going to end?! If it weren't for the current circumstances, Jian You would really want to bite the man in front of her. She replied unhappily, "I like you!"
Xuan Mohan chuckled softly, then condescendingly turned his head to look at Ke Ye, his words laced with provocation:
"See? My wife loves me very much. So... even if the whole world dislikes me, having my wife is enough. As for you... it seems you still haven't made any progress..."
At this moment, Jian You faintly sensed that something was wrong. Xuan Mohan seemed to be deliberately provoking the other party. His purpose for doing so could only be...
Diversion!
He was drawing Ke Ye's attention to himself, and at the same time, concentrating the firepower on them, intending to separate her from the situation.
This man...
Before Jian You could even feel touched, she sensed a slight movement in her lower left. She immediately lowered her head vigilantly and saw Ke Ye holding something in his hand, seemingly about to throw it.
Her pupils trembled, and her body moved at lightning speed towards Xuan Mohan.
"Be careful!"
But she didn't see... the man behind her was holding an empty gun barrel, pointed directly at her heart.
Because Jian You was blocking the view, no one noticed the problem at first. But with just one step, it was too late...
This scene made everyone's hearts tremble. Several gunshots rang out simultaneously...
Following that, the scene descended into chaos, with gunfire erupting incessantly...
Qi Jiayou, standing at the front line, sought cover behind an obstacle while observing the situation of Xuan Mohan and Jian You.
At this moment, Xuan Mohan, holding Jian You, rolled several times along the lawn before coming to a stop. He tightly protected the woman beneath him, ensuring she was not exposed at all.
Because their shoulders and necks were intertwined, he couldn't see their reactions, but...
Jian You, lying on the lawn, had not yet recovered from the shock when she immediately reached out to search Xuan Mohan's body, her expression incredibly anxious, "How are you? Let me see..."
"Don't worry, my love, I'm fine..."
