Madness! Mad Dragon is out of prison!

"There are people in higher positions."

Ye Huang released his hand and said in a low voice.

Han Rou's voice also became much softer unconsciously: "It's not surprising that mountaineering enthusiasts often pay locals high prices to guide them around the Ye family's blockade."

Ye Huang shook his head: "No, this time is different."

"These people exude a murderous aura."

Han Rou froze, looking at Ye Huang with a strange expression.

"Senior, are you feeling very tired?"

"Why don't we rest here for a while?"

Suddenly, Han Rou noticed that Ye Huang's large eyes seemed to have two vortexes, drawing her mind in.

Her eyes were glazed over, and a wave of drowsiness washed over her: "Okay...okay!"

There was a small cave nearby, and Ye Huang helped her sit down with her back against the cave wall.

After settling Han Rou in, Ye Huang's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.

He has an extremely keen sense of murderous intent.

These people were very well disguised; they were clearly professional assassins.

Could this be a trap set for me?

Are they going to attack once I'm on the platform cliff?

Ye Huang really didn't want to doubt Han Rou.

In all his life, apart from his mother, no other woman had ever treated him so well.

However, he only decided to come to Eagle Beak Cliff on a whim, and the only one who knew his past identity was Long Linglong.

But if it was Long Linglong who set this up, it shouldn't be this naive.

If it's not a trap aimed at oneself, then who is it aimed at?

Ye Huang pondered for a while and decided to wait and see.

Soon, Ye Huang heard the roar of a car engine.

As a landmark scenic spot, the Ye family built a road leading up the mountain in another location.

Although it still takes some time to walk, it's much better than the path Ye Huang and Han Rou took.

More than ten minutes later, the group reached the top of the mountain.

"Miss Xie, what do you think of the scenery here?"

"We plan to build a zipline and a bungee jumping project between the two mountains."

"How thrilling and exciting it would be to jump off from here."

"At that time, tourists from all over the world will flock here, and your investment will be recouped very quickly."

The person who spoke was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old and had a handsome appearance.

With his slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses, he exuded a somewhat sleazy, roguish charm.

Behind the glasses, a pair of eyes stared intently at the graceful Xie Jiaqi, filled with possessiveness.

"Jiaqi, my older brother is right. As long as you invest, you're guaranteed to make a profit."

Another young man standing next to Xie Jiaqi was also looking at her with fascination.

This man was none other than Ye Zhenhua, the third young master of the Ye family.

He and Xie Jiaqi were classmates, and he pursued Xie Jiaqi relentlessly for five years.

Unfortunately, Xie Jiaqi remained distant towards him.

She was aloof, beautiful, and charismatic, and she managed to seduce Wang Qing and Xie Zhenhua.

This collaboration was entirely thanks to Xie Zhenhua's role in facilitating it.

"I would like to sign the contract, but isn't it a bit too much for you to suddenly double the price?"

Xie Jiaqi's expression was calm, like a pure white lotus, untouched by worldly dust, noble and aloof.

Even her voice has a clear, crisp, and aloof quality, like pearls falling onto a jade plate.

Ye Zhenfu smiled and said, "The price will naturally be adjusted according to market fluctuations. This project was previously ignored, so it was naturally cheap."

He smiled smugly, a hint of pride in his expression: "But now, they're in high demand."

Xie Jiaqi frowned and said, "Could it be that you've really forgotten the bloody history of Yuncheng and are willing to betray your ancestors and cooperate with the people of Sakuragi Island?"

Ye Zhenfu dismissed it: "What era are we living in now? Almost all the Japanese devils who had a grudge against us are dead."

"We are businessmen, and profit is our top priority."

Xie Jiaqi suddenly laughed: "As far as I know, the predecessor of your Huai'an Group was actually called Huaitian Group, right? Fifty percent of the company's shares were held by a person named Ye Huaitian."

Ye Zhenfu said, "That was my second uncle. He died in a car accident fifteen years ago."

"Huaiqing Group now belongs entirely to our Ye family."

Xie Jiaqi smiled slightly and said, "But I heard that you had a cousin who was the true heir to the estate?"

Ye Zhenfu's expression changed drastically, and he said coldly, "Miss Xie, my cousin was playing on this cliff years ago when he accidentally fell off, and his remains were never found."

"In a legal sense, everything he owns also belongs to our Ye family."

"You can rest assured that there will be absolutely no financial disputes if you sign a contract with us."

The Xie family had indeed done their homework, even investigating such a secret matter.

The ultimate goal of negotiation is nothing more than interests.

The Ye family raised the price arbitrarily, so the Xie family would naturally try their best to lower it.

The atmosphere between the two sides instantly became somewhat tense.

After a long pause, Xie Jiaqi said quietly, "What if—and I mean, what if—your cousin suddenly came back?"

Ye Zhenfu roared, "Miss Xie, what nonsense are you spouting?"

"I witnessed my cousin fall from here with my own eyes. It's a pain I'll never forget. What are your intentions in bringing this up repeatedly?"

Xie Jiaqi said calmly, "Mr. Xie, there's no need to get agitated. I was just saying."

"Your family didn't apply for a death certificate from the police station, isn't that because you still have a sliver of hope?"

Upon hearing these words, even Ye Huang's expression changed.

Why didn't the Ye family cancel their household registration?

Ye Zhenfu said, "Miss Xie, if you are truly willing to cooperate, we can make a concession and reduce the price by thirty percent."

"This is our bottom line."

"Otherwise, don't blame us for cooperating with Tianwang Group."

Xie Jiaqi was taken aback.

Aren't they going to cooperate with Sakuragijima?

Could the intelligence be wrong?

Xie Jiaqi was clearly not satisfied with the result.

The two sides grew increasingly vocal in their negotiations, and their emotions became more and more agitated.

In the end, they parted on bad terms.

"Ms. Xie, please reconsider and give us an answer before sunset today."

Xie Zhenfu's face darkened, and he no longer yielded just because the other party was a beautiful woman.

Xie Jiaqi frowned slightly: "Okay, I will consider it carefully."

After the Xie brothers finished speaking, they left directly, clearly angry.

Xie Jiaqi and her two assistants stood still, discussing and summarizing their findings.

Suddenly, a sinister voice rang out: "Miss Xie, how have you been?"

Three people from Sakuragi Island appeared, forming a triangle around each other, clearly indicating their ill intentions.

The leader had a small mustache and looked all smiles, but he didn't seem genuine.

Xie Jiaqi's expression changed: "Sakuragi-jin?"

"Miss Xie has a good eye; she recognized us as outstanding Sakuragi people at a glance."

"My name is Tianbian Gou, and I greet you, Miss."

"As long as Miss agrees to form an alliance with us, the Ye family is nothing to fear."

Tianbian Gou spoke confidently, his expression very proud.

Ye Huang's face immediately darkened.

No wonder I felt uncomfortable; it turns out these people are all from Sakuragi Island.

"What do you want to do?"

"You have no right to run wild on the land of my Dragon Kingdom."

The two assistants, who looked more like bodyguards, immediately assumed a wary posture.

"When does it become the servant's place to interrupt when the master is speaking?"

A savage glint flashed in Tian Biangou's eyes: "Kill them! Take Miss Xie away."

The speed at which this person changed their expression was so fast that it caught everyone off guard.

"Prepare to die!"

Two Sakuragijima people drew their short swords and lunged at him with sinister smiles.

"Young Miss, we'll cover you, you go first."

These two were chosen as bodyguards because they were both extremely outstanding and loyal members of their clan. They naturally understood Xie Jiaqi's importance and were prepared to fight to the death.

However, they underestimated the strength of their opponent.

In the first exchange, both men groaned and blood spurted from their bodies.

Tian Bian Gou didn't intend to do it himself, but instead smiled and looked at Miss Xie.

"Miss Xie, I've heard that in ancient times your Dragon Kingdom there was a practice of training assassins. I wonder if these two are assassins trained by your Xie family?"

"I'd like to see how they compare to us, the people of Sakuragi Island."
