Chapter 23 Jian Taoyue's Strength

Ning Ruochu's eyelashes drooped, and her five fingers holding the phone tightened slightly, looking at the message on it, her eyes dim and unclear.

She recalled the distribution of cameras in the office, sat on the sofa, and hung her phone slightly in front of her chest, replying: [I'm in.]

——I’m ready.

……

In the closed room, Ye Yue pushed the previously injured man against the corner with one hand, staring at him with cold eyes, as if a poisonous snake was crawling on his body.

"Why did you want to offend the second master of the Xie family?" She spoke word by word in a low voice.

The men exerted their strength, completely ignoring his injuries, as if they didn't care whether the man lived or died.

The man knew that the commander was angry.

The fear inside him kept growing and drowning his heart.

The man's Adam's apple rolled, and he hurriedly defended himself: "Commander Ye, how dare I provoke him!"

The second young master of a warlord family and a bully in the capital, how could he not recognize him?

But the underground martial arts training grounds are crowded with people, and you may meet an unexpected big shot at the next corner.

Ye Yue narrowed her eyes and stared at him, as if she wanted to tear his body apart to see what was hidden deep in his heart.

The conclusion is that there was only fear and panic in the man's eyes.

She untied his shackles and took two steps back.

His tone was slightly restrained, but the words he said were still cold to the bone.

"what happened?"

The force acting on his body disappeared, the man was in a trance, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

It’s like being drowning and suddenly emerging from the water, finally being able to breathe a breath of fresh air.

My nerves are so tense that I dare not relax at all.

He glanced at Yeyue carefully, took a few deep breaths, and explained the situation to her.

Shadow Pavilion is a secret guard organization and also an assassination organization.

Everyone in the cabinet will take on assassination missions to solve the organization's funding and survival problem.

The man went to the underground martial arts training ground today because he received an assassination mission - to eliminate the best of the younger generation of the Loffield family.

When he met Xie Cixing on the way, he wanted to avoid him, but in his panic he accidentally bumped into a woman.

There are many people in the underground fighting arena, and physical collisions are inevitable.

The woman yelled at him, pointed at the snacks that fell on the ground, and asked him to pay for it.

Anyone who can enter that place has a bad temper.

The woman must have felt that she was provoked and was so angry that she wanted to have a fight.

He originally wanted to resolve the issue as soon as possible and leave, but the opponent's moves were so smooth that he had no time to respond.

In desperation, he had to draw the dagger from his waist, but it only wounded her half an inch, and instead made her angry.

The man didn't know how to describe the situation at that time. Thinking about the scene carefully, shock and fear flowed from the bottom of his heart, gradually engulfing his consciousness, and he was completely controlled by emotions.

"At that moment, everything around me stopped, as if time had stood still. I only felt a stream of air, and then I felt severe pain all over my body. Then, I lost consciousness..."

His eyes were panicked and empty, and he had no idea what he was saying.

Ye Yue thought that he was just talking nonsense because he was so scared and couldn't accept the fact that he was defeated so quickly due to the huge difference in strength between them. She didn't take it seriously and just asked, "What does that woman look like?"

The man took several deep breaths before he finally calmed himself down and tried to restrain himself from recalling more details.

"He is about 1.65 meters tall, thin, and looks cold. He seems difficult to talk to..."

Yeyue lowered her eyes and a faint light passed by.

When she heard that the other person was a woman, she was sure of her identity.

None of the people around Xie Cixing are simple.

There are many talented people in the Shadow Pavilion, and even an ordinary person has skills that are unmatched by ordinary people.

And from what the man said, the woman won with an overwhelming advantage in just a few moves.

Xie Cixing would inevitably indulge such a person. She raised her eyes and asked, "Do you know who assigned that task?"

The man shook his head. "The client has kept it confidential. I don't have the authority to know."

Yeyue lowered her eyes, and her thick black eyelashes cast a shadow under her eyes.

……

Ning Ruochu, who was playing games in the office during her spare time, suddenly received a message from Yeyue.

[I have to go back to Yingge for something urgent. I have already told your driver to complete the task of protecting you on my behalf.]

Ning Ruchu took a quick glance and sneered.

She was handed over to a hired man who was not affiliated with the Luo family. He did not speak the language and was not familiar with the capital city.

Yeyue was really relieved.

I guess I thought she would go back to the Pearl Island Villa obediently.

She is not.

After the game was over, Ning Ruochu raised her eyelids and called out to Ran Yunqing: "Luo Zhouheng has a fixed private room in the An family's mansion."

Ran Yunqing was grinning foolishly at the joke playing on his phone, lying back on the sofa, laughing hysterically.

Hearing her words, he immediately sat up, his pupils suddenly dilated, and exclaimed: "He is so rich?!"

The An's Mansion was founded by officials of the feudal dynasty and has a history of 500 years. It is famous throughout China for its profound historical heritage and state-banquet-level delicacies, and occupies a pivotal position in the entire catering industry.

Moreover, some of the dishes on the menu are almost lost and are unique to the An family’s government.

In a place where a dish costs a fortune to Ran Yunqing, Luo Zhouheng actually has a fixed seat!
Ning Ruochu nodded calmly: "Luo funded that restaurant in the early days."

Ran Yunqing took a deep breath.

Even more awesome!
Ning Ruochu couldn't bear to see his ignorant appearance, so she asked directly: "Do you want to go to dinner with me?"

Ran Yunqing blurted out: "Go!"

……

They both came to the underground parking lot.

This was the first time Ran Yunqing met Ning Ruchu's new driver.

Sitting in the car, she frantically pulled Ning Ruochu's arm and whispered in her ear, "Is this the happiness of rich people?"

Even the driver is so handsome!
Still foreign.

Ning Ruochu glanced at the driver's exposed eyebrows through the rearview mirror and snorted: "My subordinates did it."

She glanced at him sideways and said in a playful tone, "He doesn't understand Chinese, so if you have anything to say, just say it boldly."

Ran Yunqing glanced at her sideways, loosened his hands around her, and said angrily, "Am I that kind of person?"

Ning Ruochu chuckled and looked away.

Don't I know you yet?

……

An's government office.

Ran Yunqing still felt a little elated until the waiter introduced the store's history and architectural style.

The clattering sound of the dishes and chopsticks irritated her nerves. She hurriedly took the dishes and set them in a panic, repeating in a humble tone: "I'll do it, I'll do it..."

This left the restaurant waiter at a loss.

Not only is the price at An's Mansion expensive, it is also extremely difficult to eat here.

Even those big shots have to make reservations three months in advance.

Everyone who came here was a distinguished guest. The waiter was afraid of neglecting her, so he once again grabbed the cutlery that Ran Yunqing had taken away because he was distracted.

The two of them went back and forth, pulling each other, neither giving in.

Ning Ruochu was speechless: "My friend likes to do everything by himself, and doesn't need to be served."

 Luo Zhouheng: Nothing much, just a little money, some connections, and a little power (top Versailles)
