Ye Cangtian returned, and in the end, Tang Xinwan still opened the door for him!
However, her expression was ice-cold, clearly still angry.
Tang Xinwan wasn't angry that Ye Cangtian had saved the big star Han Feifei, but rather that he had gone to an amusement park with her. Those were places for couples to go!
After all, in all the time she and Ye Cangtian had known each other, they hadn't reached the point of intimacy where they would go to an amusement park.
But regardless of her anger, Tang Xinwan didn't believe that Han Feifei would throw herself at him just because he had saved her life.
After all, she was a top-tier celebrity; how could she possibly be interested in this guy?
"Where did you just go?" Tang Xinwan asked with a frown after letting Ye Cangtian in.
She had just been about to open the door for him when she realized he had disappeared.
Ye Cangtian scratched his head, about to come up with an excuse, when Tang Xinwan twitched her nose and asked with a strange expression, "What's that smell on you?"
Ye Cangtian froze. He suddenly remembered why Xibeiya had asked to hug him earlier!
She was leaving her scent on him!
It was definitely on purpose!
He could imagine how terrible the misunderstanding would be when Tang Xinwan smelled another woman's scent on him.
But just then!
A considerable commotion suddenly erupted outside, and he could even hear alarms from the hotel. Something seemed to have happened.
Tang Xinwan was drawn by the noise outside and asked curiously, "What's going on out there?"
Ye Cangtian quickly interjected, "I'll go take a look!"
Sweating profusely! He had almost been finished, damn it!
He went to the corridor and soon saw hotel staff rushing past. He grabbed one of them and asked, "What happened over there?" Sudan Novel Network.
The staff member quickly replied, "Someone was assassinated in the presidential suite just now!"
Xibeiya was assassinated? Ye Cangtian's expression tightened, and he continued to ask, "What's the situation now? How many assassins? Any casualties?"
Although he didn't want to be entangled by that woman, he was still worried about Xibeiya getting hurt.
The staff member shook his head, "No, the assassin was repelled by the Saudi delegation's guards. I heard it was only one assassin, and a female assassin at that, masked, just like the assassins on TV!"
After saying that, the staff member left. Ye Cangtian returned to the room.
He explained the situation he had inquired about to Tang Xinwan. As expected, her attention was diverted by the incident, and she clearly forgot about the strange smell on Ye Cangtian earlier.
Tang Xinwan exclaimed, "I didn't expect those people to be the Saudi delegation. Are they representing the Saudi royal family visiting our China? But who would want to assassinate the Saudi delegation?"
"How would I know! Sigh, this has nothing to do with us. I'm going to take a shower!"
Ye Cangtian quickly dropped the sentence and ducked into the bathroom, tossing his clothes into the washing machine.
He didn't want to leave any evidence for Tang Xinwan. Otherwise, with her personality, if she knew there was another woman's scent on him, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
In the bathroom!
As Ye Cangtian showered, he thought about Xibeiya being assassinated. The staff member had said the assassin was a woman and was masked.
"She didn't come to the capital too, did she?"
He seemed to have guessed who the masked female assassin was!
...
The assassination attempt on the Saudi delegation was taken very seriously by the hotel, so security was strengthened that night.
Late at night, Tang Xinwan had already fallen asleep.
Ye Cangtian, however, left the room. He soon walked out of the hotel and headed to a lakeside park a few hundred meters away.
The weather had already turned to autumn!
Although the days were still hot, the gentle breeze at night was very refreshing. The willow trees by the lake rustled.
Lighting a cigarette, Ye Cangtian sighed, "When did you come to China?"
A figure descended from one of the willow trees and quickly appeared before him. The person was wearing a black combat suit, with long legs, and a military dagger strapped to her calf.
It was a young woman with a black ponytail. The combat suit, Martin boots, and the triangular military dagger on her calf gave her a heroic and spirited appearance.
The woman looked down and didn't meet his gaze, replying, "Three days ago!"
Ye Cangtian gave a wry smile. It seemed she had followed him from Yangzhou to the capital, and he hadn't even noticed.
This woman was named Rose. She was a member of the Grim Reaper mercenary team and the strongest person in the team besides Ye Cangtian.
Of course, she was also the earliest person to follow Ye Cangtian.
Like Ye Cangtian, Rose was an orphan. However, her parents were killed by an enemy when she was ten years old.
Later, at the tender age of ten, she was trafficked to Africa by a human trafficking organization to be a child laborer. She was rescued by Ye Cangtian, who happened to be passing by, and he killed everyone in the human trafficking organization.
From then on, Rose insisted on following him. Ye Cangtian was only thirteen that year!
If there was anyone in this world, besides the old man, who understood him the best and whom he trusted the most, it would undoubtedly be Rose.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian had always treated this girl not just as a subordinate but more like a sister.
Ye Cangtian didn't blame her for secretly coming to China to find him. He just sighed, "Why did you try to assassinate Xibeiya?"
Rose stated matter-of-factly, "I didn't like her!"
Ye Cangtian was at a loss for words. She was a Saudi princess, and the favorite of the old King of Saudi Arabia. This girl wanted to assassinate her just because she didn't like her?
"She's always bothering you!" Rose thought for a moment and added.
Alright, that was the truth!
Ye Cangtian felt a headache coming on. This girl was very stubborn, and often, she wouldn't listen to anyone but himself.
God knows what the Grim Reaper team was like under her leadership during his absence. In any case, Viper was quite wary whenever Viper mentioned Rose.
"Xibeiya is a Saudi princess, and she's representing the Saudi delegation this time, so she cannot be in danger. Otherwise, there will be a rift between the two countries!" Ye Cangtian said.
He was worried that Rose would cause trouble. Once she truly harmed Xibeiya, she would probably be hunted by both the Saudi royal family and China.
"Then I won't kill her for now!" Rose nodded.
"..."
Ye Cangtian was too lazy to persuade her. Anyway, the female guards around Xibeiya were all very strong, and Rose wouldn't really act recklessly to assassinate her.
He suddenly asked, "Do you have any news about the old man?"
Rose knew about the old man's affairs! Moreover, if you think about it, she was somewhat like his junior sister.
When Rose started following Ye Cangtian, the old man saw that she had good potential and decided to teach her some skills. Except for not formally accepting her as a disciple, he taught her everything he could.
This was also why, at just twenty years old, her strength had already become second only to Ye Cangtian's.
Rose shook her head, "No!"
Ye Cangtian took a deep breath. That old man was truly mysterious. Although he often disappeared in the past, he had never been gone for so long.
Three years! Had that old geezer died?
