My Silly, Sweet Wife

Crown Hotel.

Inside the private room.

Shi Tou’s palms were already sweating.

As time went by, his heartbeat grew faster and faster, and he became increasingly uneasy.

He understood that Black Panther was now crippled, and Zhao Wuji was right; the underground world in Yun City was unstable and still needed someone like Zhao Wuji to support it.

In the eyes of Ye Guichen, someone like him was probably just an ant.

Who would care about the hatred of an ant?

Li Ruoxuan was also clutching her reddened cheek, filled with unease.

The only thought in her mind was whether the Mr. Ye they mentioned could be Ye Guichen?

Zhao Wuji, however, was sitting there smoking a cigarette with a nonchalant attitude.

”Alright, time’s up.” Seeing that half an hour had passed, Zhao Wuji looked at Shi Tou, ”Shi Tou, I’m giving you a chance. Strip this girl named Li as a token of loyalty.”

Shi Tou seemed to relax all at once and sat down on the ground heavily.

Finally, he realized he had overestimated his own importance.

As expected, why would Mr. Ye take action for someone as insignificant as him?

”Zhao Wuji, you’re really something!” Shi Tou picked up a piece of broken glass and placed it against his neck, ”I’ve followed Brother Leopard for so many years and yet couldn’t protect his sister. I’d rather die than be humiliated by you.”

Then he looked at Li Ruoxuan, ”Sister Xuan, I’m useless. Forgive me, but I have to go first.”

With that, he moved to slit his throat.

Bam!

Almost simultaneously, the door was kicked open with great force.

”Suicide is the most cowardly act.”

Ye Guichen appeared at the doorway.

Shi Tou’s pupils contracted, and his face showed the joy of a close escape from death.

”Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye, you, you really came?” At this moment, this grown man couldn’t contain his excitement and tears flowed down his face.

The most shocked person was none other than Li Ruoxuan.

”Mr. Ye, it’s really him?” No matter what, Li Ruoxuan could not connect Ye Guichen with the terrifying Mr. Ye who made people like Black Panther and Zhao Wuji fear.

Zhao Wuji jumped up from his chair suddenly.

He looked at Ye Guichen in horror, as if he had seen a ghost.

Moments later, Zhao Wuji was the first to react, his face full of flattery, ”Mr. Ye, why are you here?”

He acted as if he knew nothing about what had happened.

Ye Guichen didn’t respond. He glanced at Li Ruoxuan and Shi Tou calmly, then slowly said, ”You need to look at the owner even when beating a dog, let alone since Li Bao is one of my people.”

With just one sentence, Zhao Wuji felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

”Mr. Ye, it’s a misunderstanding, it’s truly a misunderstanding!”

Thud.

Zhao Wuji knelt on the ground, ”Mr. Ye, the Black Panther incident has nothing to do with me, it’s really not related to me.”

Li Ruoxuan stood stunned.

She never expected Zhao Wuji to be so scared of Ye Guichen that he would kneel down just because of one sentence from him.

Deep down, she couldn’t help but feel a bit ridiculous.

She had been so confident earlier that she didn’t need Ye Guichen’s help and could handle everything by herself.

But now, Li Ruoxuan realized how insignificant she really was.

”Ye Guichen, you...” Li Ruoxuan opened her mouth to speak but found herself unable to utter a single word despite her many questions.

Ye Guichen glanced at Zhao Wuji’s two subordinates, ”What? You’re not convinced?”

The two subordinates had never witnessed Ye Guichen in action. Now that they saw Zhao Wuji cowering in fear, naturally, they were not convinced.

They exchanged glances and then approached Ye Guichen.

They had been hired by Zhao Wuji at great expense, so they naturally had to show him that they were worth the money.

However, just as they moved to strike, before they even realized how Ye Guichen made his move, the two of them had already been sent flying, smashing against the wall and creating numerous cracks in it.

The two of them spat out blood, looking at Ye Guichen in shock.

Li Ruoxuan also never expected Ye Guichen to be so formidable, looking at him as if he were a stranger.

In her eyes, Ye Guichen was just a healer.

Since when did he become so skilled in combat?

”Zhao Wuji, I despise internal strife the most. Since Li Bao’s matter involves you, cripple your own legs first, then go to the hospital and personally ask for Li Bao’s forgiveness.” Ye Guichen’s voice was calm.

”Hospital?” Zhao Wuji paused, a bit puzzled, ”Black Panther isn’t dead?”

”You have ten seconds, no more.” Ye Guichen did not answer but continued to speak.

Zhao Wuji’s face turned ashen.

He finally understood he was truly finished this time.

Ye Guichen was indeed standing up for Black Panther.

Moreover, Black Panther’s car was wrecked, and he still wasn’t dead?

”Mr. Ye, I understand.” Zhao Wuji lowered his head, picked up an iron rod, and in Li Ruoxuan’s horrified gaze, smashed it down hard on his own legs.

With screams of pain, Zhao Wuji crippled his own legs.

Li Ruoxuan covered her mouth, her mind blank.

”How terrifying must this Ye Guichen be, for Zhao Wuji to not only not dare to resist but actually cripple his own legs?”

Watching Zhao Wuji collapse to the ground, Ye Guichen glanced at Li Ruoxuan indifferently, ”From today onwards, since you’ve chosen your path, walk it yourself. I can’t always be there to help you. Take care of yourself...”

After speaking, he turned and left.

The entire process took less than five minutes.

Watching Ye Guichen’s retreating figure, Li Ruoxuan suddenly felt that he was incredibly far away.

From their first meeting to now, where she revered him like a deity, Li Ruoxuan had always prided herself as a favored daughter of the heavens but now realized that she was only worthy of looking up to Ye Guichen.

”Take care, Mr. Ye...” Shi Tou finally witnessed Ye Guichen’s dominance, gazing respectfully at his departing figure.

...

Ye Guichen had just walked out of the hotel when his phone rang again.

The call was from Chen Ziran.

Ye Guichen found it strange; normally, Chen Ziran wouldn’t call unless it was important.

”Hey, honey, missing me?” Ye Guichen’s expression changed, his earlier intimidating aura replaced with a goofy smile.

”Mi Lan left,” Chen Ziran’s voice was heavy upon hearing Ye Guichen.

”Left? What happened?”

”I, I don’t know either. When I woke up this morning, she was gone. At first, I thought she went out to buy breakfast, but half an hour ago, I received a message from her saying she had left and left you a letter.” Chen Ziran’s voice choked up a bit.

Ye Guichen felt a sense of foreboding.

There was no need to guess; Mi Lan left because she feared the Qin Family’s retaliation.

”Where are you? I’m coming over now.” Ye Guichen walked out of the hotel and got into Snow Rose’s car.

”Boss, where to?” Snow Rose had been waiting outside the hotel since she brought Ye Guichen and now noticed his somewhat distressed expression, immediately asking cautiously.

Ye Guichen asked, ”Do you know the Wenzhou Qin Family?”
