When Quan Jue heard this, the cold smile on his lips deepened. The chilliness in his eyes intensified. “Looks like this man is really brainless. Why does he think we will agree to his deal?”

“It’s because he doesn’t care about Xu Ye’s life, but we do. He’s taking advantage of us and knows that we can’t be ruthless to Xu Ye. That’s why he suggested such a deal.” Chi Jiao also heard She Qi’s voice on the gramophone. She snorted in disdain.

She Qi’s voice paused for a moment before continuing nonchalantly, “Three days later, at midnight, I want you to bring Xi’er’s corpse back here. I advise you not to play any tricks. Otherwise, I guarantee that Xu Ye will die before me if anything happens to me.”

After that, there was no other sound on the recording.

Quan Jue turned off the gramophone and casually handed it to his subordinate as evidence.

His subordinate took the gramophone and carefully bagged it.

Quan Jue’s eyes were cold as he asked Chi Jiao, “Jiaojiao, did you hear that?”

Chi Jiao nodded. She seemed to be very worried as she let out a long sigh. She asked, “Brother Quan, is Xu Ye in any danger?”

“We can’t take out Bai Wanxi’s remnant consciousness, and She Qi probably can’t either. Bai Wanxi’s remnant consciousness shares a body with Xu Ye. If anything happens to Xu Ye, Bai Wanxi won’t be able to survive either. She Qi is doing this for Bai Wanxi, so he won’t attack Xu Ye rashly. You can rest assured.” Quan Jue comforted her in a soft voice.

Chi Jiao nodded and said in a gentle voice, “Brother Quan, come back first. Fortunately, there’s still time. Come back and we’ll discuss our countermeasures.”

Quan Jue agreed and left the apartment.

Quan Jue and the others left in a hurry and did not notice that when they passed by the small garden in front of the apartment, a vine was slowly creeping through the grass.

Nevertheless, Quan Jue had a certain level of awareness. He stopped and turned to look at the bushes behind him.

However, the bushes were quiet. There didn’t seem to be anything wrong.

Seeing this, Yin Yong looked at him worriedly. “Boss, is there anything wrong?”

Quan Jue looked carefully in the direction of the bushes but didn’t find anything amiss. Therefore, he quickly retracted his gaze and shook his head before looking ahead again. “I’m fine. Let’s go.”

After Quan Jue and the others left, the vine in the grass moved again. After twisting a little, it suddenly lost its life force. It withered and turned invisible, disappearing completely.

Meanwhile, in an old residence deep in the mountains in the suburbs.

Green Demon stood in the courtyard. There were vines under his feet and beside him. After opening his eyes slowly, he immediately retracted the vines.

After doing all of this, Green Demon jogged to the front of the room and knelt on one knee. He said respectfully, “Lord She Qi, Quan Jue did bring his men to the apartment. They should have heard your recording if nothing went wrong.”

She Qi’s lazy voice rang out from the room. “Got it. You can leave now.”
