My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 408: The 407th Episode of Conspiracy (Second Update)_1
 

Within the Su Family, Miao Chunhua was the most cunning person. She seldom spoke, but many things Su Wei did behind the scenes were suggested by her, and Su Wei had immense trust in his wife, for she was a woman full of schemes, incomparable to ordinary women. He almost always obeyed her advice.

“What kind of trouble could Jiangnan present?” Su Wei furrowed his brows, hardly able to believe, and said, “Jiang Yu even took the Jiang Family’s top expert, Ade, to Jiangnan. With Ade’s strength, what matter couldn’t he handle?”

“Indeed, Ade is an expert, but ‘better safe than sorry’ goes the old wisdom,” said Miao Chunhua, remaining silent for a moment. “Let’s do this, you call Old Wang from the Jiang Family and ask him. See what the situation was like when Jiang Yu and Ade returned from Jiangnan.”

Su Wei thought it made sense and hastily took out his cellphone, calling Old Wang.

“Hello, Old Wang, I have something to ask you. The last time Jiang Yu went out with Ade, what was their condition when they returned… What, Ade was injured, dislocated both hands, hasn’t taught you martial arts for a few days, got it, I know everything now.”

After hanging up the phone, Su Wei and Miao Chunhua looked at each other, their faces full of shock.

They were well aware of Ade’s strength—he was the Jiang Family’s top expert. Su Wei had once tried everything to lure Ade over to help the Su Family, but he had not agreed. For such an expert to be beaten and had both hands dislocated, clearly, they had run into trouble.

“I told you, the Jiang Family’s people wouldn’t capitulate that easily,” said Miao Chunhua.

“What do we do now?” asked Su Wei, frustrated and anxious. “Are we just going to sit by and watch that bastard enter our Su Family and take over our assets?”

“Let’s do this, you first call Old Duan and tell him to have someone watch her. The moment she is unprotected, grab her immediately. I refuse to believe she has protection 24/7. This is Capital City, our territory—we call the shots.”

“What about explaining to Dad, would that be a problem?” Su Wei was worried.

“What are you afraid of? An outsider, a bastard’s status could never trump yours as the legitimate son. As long as you insist it wasn’t you who ordered the hit, the old master can’t do anything. He only has you as a son; he can’t stay mad at you for a lifetime!”

Su Wei thought about it and chuckled: “My wise wife, I’m truly blessed to have married someone like you in my past life.”

Subsequently, Su Wei made a call to Old Duan to arrange things.

Afterward, he walked over and hugged Miao Chunhua.

“What are you doing?”

“Doing you, of course!” Su Wei laughed.

The two quickly tumbled onto the bed.

…

After Yang Xinyi headed to Capital City, Ye Xiong was extremely worried.

He wouldn’t be able to take a flight to Capital City until tonight. During this time, Yang Xinyi’s safety was a great concern.

First of all, would the Su Family let her get recognized by Su Zhentian so easily? From the time Su Wei had sent Jiang Yu to Jiangnan to warn Yang Xinyi, Ye Xiong guessed that this eldest young master of the Su Family must be someone with despicable means. Yang Xinyi going there was very likely to be targeted by him.

Secondly, Long Lan had escaped from Heavenly Prison and had been silent ever since, possibly searching for an opportunity to strike. Now that Yang Xinyi had left, if Long Lan targeted her, it would cause serious trouble; then there was Mr. M, a hidden sniper whose identity was unknown, another extremely dangerous person.

In any case, with Yang Xinyi not by his side, it was an exceedingly dangerous situation.

Ye Xiong wished he could sprout wings and fly to Capital City to protect her.

Left with no other choice, he had to call for backup.

He dialed Phoenix’s number.

“Phoenix, where is she?” Ye Xiong asked.

“At the headquarters, what’s up?”

“There’s something I need your help with.”

Ye Xiong recounted the situation to her, and after Phoenix listened, she said, “I’ll go protect her right now. Don’t worry, with me there, she won’t get into any trouble.”

“Thank you, I still wanted to apologize for that last incident…”

“I have to hang up now.” Phoenix said, and then she hung up the phone.

Ye Xiong sighed, He Mengji was right, he was just asking for trouble.

Ever since he tricked Phoenix into a kiss at the company, she had been very cold towards him, lacking her previous enthusiasm. That distant coldness had made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although she was still fully committed when it came to missions, in terms of communication, there was clearly much less between them.

It looked like he needed a change of heart and to start anew. He couldn’t be as carefree as before, Ye Xiong sighed.

He Mengji was right, sometimes what men think is no big deal, can be a fatal blow to a woman.

Take artificial respiration, for instance. If he had really been in trouble, and Phoenix kissed his lips to give him CPR, that would have been fine, a normal thing to do. But since he wasn’t in trouble and pretended to be, that created a problem.

Kisses are kisses, but under different circumstances, they lead to completely different outcomes.

That afternoon, Ye Xiong and Murong Ruyin got into a car heading for the provincial city, preparing to catch a plane to Capital City.

Although Ye Xiong didn’t like Murong Ruyin much, the matter was serious. He feared that Yang Xinyi might have an accident, and with Murong Ruyin by his side, he felt somewhat more at ease.

Moreover, Murong Ruyin had once saved Yang Xinyi by removing the Ice Gu Poison from her body. They could be considered friends who had a history. If the two of them could get along, it would greatly increase his chances of getting closer to Yang Xinyi.

Murong Ruyin didn’t wear a veil because she felt it was too distinctive. It wasn’t convenient to walk around in a modern metropolis with it, so she switched to a headscarf.

She wrapped her head and covered her mouth with the headscarf, looking like a minority ethnic group’s attire and thus not standing out too much.

The two of them took a car to Guangzhou and then a plane to Capital City.

Besides assigning tasks to Murong Ruyin, Ye Xiong spoke very little to her, practically not speaking at all during the trip.

Ye Xiong held a grudge against her, and given his coldness, the proud Murong Ruyin naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to speak to him.

Thus, an odd situation arose. The two of them were like strangers, each doing their own thing, and did not seem to be together at all.

After waiting at the airport for over an hour and nearly time to board, Ye Xiong finally received a call from Phoenix.

“I’ve found her, she’s staying at her aunt’s place right now, she’s safe for the moment.”

Ye Xiong breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Could you please look after her for me? I’m about to board the plane.”

“Hanging up.”

Phoenix sat in a car parked on the side of the road beneath Yang Yueru’s apartment complex, staring blankly at her phone.

She never thought that one day her relationship with Reaper would become so awkward.
