Chapter 481: I Guest-Starred in This Charade
Standing on the road, Yun Xi leisurely clapped her hands and kicked the bodyguards who had been playing dead on the ground.
“Okay, all of you can get up now!”
Upon hearing Yun Xi’s voice, the bodyguards who had fallen on the ground stood up one after another, pulled the six dead masked men into the car, and quickly cleared the scene.
Han Yaotian stared at this for a moment, then looked at Yun Xi, who was leaning against the side of the car door and rubbing her neck. For a while, he couldn’t grasp what was going on.
“Yun Xi, what’s going on?”
Despite seeing that none of them had been injured, Han Yaotian still had lingering fears.
He wasn’t regretting that he had almost lost his life, but rejoicing that he fortunately had made the right choice.
If he had abandoned Yun Xi moments before, he definitely would be suffering the consequences now.
Fortunately, he hadn’t made the wrong choice.
“It’s exactly what you think it is. To lure the snake out of the cave, I guest-starred in this charade and got rid of a huge obstacle for you, Chairman Han. Can’t you tell?”
“So, what about your classmate? She’s still being held hostage…”
Although Li Sinuo was selfish, had no conscience, and hadn’t forgotten to try and drag her down, even though someone like her wasn’t really worthy of her sympathy, she was still her classmate after all.
The two of them had gotten into his car together, so if something really happened to her and the matter was investigated, she would probably be implicated as well.
Being implicated by such an opportunistic villain wasn’t worth it for her, and it could also be humiliating.
Yun Xi couldn’t help but smile. “There’s no need to worry. That person’s target is you, not her. When it’s safe, he’ll naturally let her go.”
“Are you guys still going to pursue him? Won’t letting him go alarm the snake?”
Han Yaotian glanced at the vigilant bodyguards around him. With such powerful combat skills, they didn’t look like his people.
On the contrary, they seemed more like the bodyguards under Young Marshal Mu.
“You don’t have to worry about that. Young Marshal Mu will take care of the rest. Go back to your Han family, and thank Young Marshal Mu.”
“Of course, of course…”
Han Yaotian stared at the slender figure leaning on the car. Under the dimly lit street lamp, her camel coat accentuated her fair-skinned, rosy-cheeked, and delicate-featured face.
She appeared petite, soft, and adorable, but she also seemed to have infinite potential.
From her aloof and composed facial expression, one couldn’t tell that she had just experienced a near-death situation.
All that he could see was confidence that victory was in her grasp, and a composure from having the entire situation under control.
At this moment, in his eyes, there was a strange charm to her that he couldn’t even describe. She attracted him deeply, and made him curious to find out more about her.
As soon as Mu Feichi had finished giving orders, he turned his head and saw Han Yaotian looking at Yun Xi with a lovesick expression.
His fury that had just been suppressed was once again ignited.
Upon seeing him, Han Yaotian stepped forward with a grateful expression. Just as he was about to speak, Mu Feichi clasped Yun Xi’s wrist and dragged her toward the vehicle parked at the intersection.
“Young Marshal Mu…” Unwilling to give up, Han Yaotian shouted.
The only response was Mu Feichi’s cold, proud back striding away in the cold night.
The black vehicle drove away at top speed.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Yun Xi tightened her seat belt, turned her head cautiously, and glanced at the man sitting in the driver’s seat with a sullen expression. She reached out to turn up the heating in the car.
Mu Feichi turned his head and glanced at her. He wanted to give her the thermos that was in the car, but thinking about how she had acted first and reported to him afterward, as well as used herself as bait, he was so infuriated that he didn’t want to say anything.
If he kept indulging her, it would only be a matter of time before something serious happened.
