Chapter 824: Untitled
Xunuo had never felt this happy before.
For a whole month, she traveled with Ye Ningyuan as he took photos, drew, occasionally raced, and did extreme sports… Her life, from young, was fraught with tension and bloodshed except for the times she was by Michael’s side in London. She had spent most of her life on the wire and in the line of fire, and she thought that nobody else save Michael could give her happiness.
It was actually not the case…
Ye Ningyuan was a man who could make people happy if he was hell-bent on it. However tough one’s mental shell was, he would be able to shatter it and make them smile.
As an interesting and humorous person with musings of wisdom, people could not help but laugh. And for her, he had shattered her cold mask once too often. Despite the chaos in London where she was most wanted, she ended up traveling the entire Middle East with him.
An Xunuo very rarely encountered somebody like Ye Ningyuan. All the men she had encountered were one-size men that were decisive and brutal and rarely gentle. She was unable to relax in her world.
Ye Ningyuan, however, was different. While he was brutal and decisive, and even more so than anybody else, he also had an exceptionally gentle side that allowed one to forget their troubles and only remember the happiness they saw. He would also remember what one liked. His occasionally unintentional smile would make one feel so happy.
It really uplifted one’s moods.
An Xunuo almost forgot that she had left a trail of blood, and she had almost forgotten her mission, her responsibilities, and where her loyalties lay.
Men were just such weird creatures that enjoyed and yet struggled in the tensions between happiness and conflicts.
But her happy days were short-lived.
News spread in London. Ophelia abducted Xu Xing in a bid to threaten Xu Mingyang to help her leave London and revoke her arrest warrant. As Xu Xing and Ophelia were sisters, since the latter acknowledged Ruqisha as her godmother, Ophelia kidnapping her own sister out of desperation sent shockwaves across London, and people cursed Ophelia for her viciousness.
The news reached Ye Ningyuan at almost the same time.
An Xunuo had been by his side and never left, so he knew that somebody else had abducted Xu Xing in a bid to force An Xunuo to appear. Given An Xunuo’s character, she would never resort to such sleazy tactics like kidnapping and intimidation.
Just who could it be?
Ye Ningyuan gave orders to Green Dragon, preparing to return to London.
“Do you want to return to London?” he asked An Xunuo.
“Duh!” She had no reason not to return as that person kidnapped Xu Xing in her name in a bid to force her out. While Xu Xing did not like her, Ruqisha had indeed doted on her and she could not leave her in the lurch.
But…
She hated it the most when people framed her. She was infuriated.
“Chances are the Xu family is of the opinion you kidnapped Xu Xing. If you return, I’m afraid…” He expressed his worries, but An Xunuo did not seem fazed. “It does not matter. I don’t care what they think or say,” An Xunuo plainly replied.
Ye Ningyuan looked at her silently.
London, the headquarters of the Top Terrorist Organization.
An Xunuo followed Ye Ningyuan back to his London headquarters. She thought she would never return here anymore, but she was back after slightly more than a month. Her room never changed.
Ye Ningyuan seemed to really trust her and had the utmost confidence in her.
“Have you looked it up?” Ye Ningyuan asked Green Dragon in the intelligence room as he took the information from Green Dragon’s hands. “How could it be?” He raised his eyebrows.
It was actually Silver Cloud?
An Xunuo’s direct superior had, in An Xunuo’s name, abducted Xu Xing. Just what was he up to? With London rocked by chaos thanks to the crisis An Xunuo created, Xu Xing’s abduction sent London into a gloom, making it even more oppressive.
Ye Ningyuan was slightly enraged!
He instantly knew what Silver Cloud was up to. Silver Cloud hated him to the core and sent An Xunuo to go after him to no avail. He hence abducted Xu Xing. If that was the case… He must have given An Xunuo the order to continue hunting him.
Xunuo once said, “Do not regret it.”
She indirectly told him that the order to kill him had never been revoked. When An Xunuo traveled the Middle East with him, she did not act on him. Impatient, Silver Cloud decided to act on Xu Xing.
He clenched his fists and guessed that Silver Cloud already knew his alter ego. Black J was Ye Ningyuan.
He was not too worried about this being leaked. He was more worried about what Xu Xing would encounter. As a princess who was brought up well and always had her way, she had had a smooth life and never suffered. That Silver Cloud’d better not inflict trauma upon her. He knew very well how the underworld dealt with its hostages. If Xu Xing had a violent and lusty abductor, she…
Damn it!
An Xunuo heard the news and frowned. She gritted her teeth and called Silver Cloud to directly ask him, “What the f*** are you exactly up to?”
Ye Ningyuan monitored her call and traced his location.
“Xunuo, you betrayed me.” Silver Cloud’s cold voice came across the phone.
“You lunatic!”
“I gave you orders to kill Ye Ningyuan. Since you did not, I had to take action. You will regret this,” Silver Cloud coldly said. “You… disappoint me.”
“Silver Cloud, this has nothing to do with Xu Xing. Do not harm her,” An Xunuo eventually said.
“That does not sound like something you would say. Xunuo, are you regretting it?” Silver Cloud coldly smiled. Ye Ningyuan ran his fingers across the map of London, looking for a location. He then gave Xunuo a thumbs-up and ordered his men nearby to surround the apartment. Silver Cloud was on the eighteenth floor of an apartment not too far from the Port of London.
It was not particularly secluded.
“If you are so desperate to kill Ye Ningyuan, just take him out! Why implicate Xu Xing? Silver Cloud, you’re disgusting. This isn’t your style,” An Xunuo coldly said.
She had known Silver Cloud for years and thus knew his character very well. He was cold and haughty, but he could not care about such methods. Did he really hate Ye Ningyuan to the point he had to stoop this low?
“It’s nothing to do with Xu Xing. Hmmph! An Xunuo, you know nothing. You have no idea what I am about to do.” Silver Cloud’s voice grew colder. “Ye Ningyuan, you will pay the price for her death!” He punctuated his words.
