My Silly, Sweet Wife

Ti’er Daoist directly blocked Ye Guichen’s path: ”Yell at my boss again, and I’ll cripple you right now!”

Ti’er Daoist’s first impression of Su Ze was that this guy had a screw loose.

Not only was he sloppy, but he also repeatedly spoke disrespectfully to Ye Guichen.

If it weren’t for Ye Guichen’s silence, Ti’er Daoist wouldn’t have minded crippling Su Ze on the spot.

Su Ze naturally sensed Ti’er Daoist’s imposing presence and knew he was no match, so he angrily said, ”Ye Guichen, the person who kidnapped Jiu’er told me you have no intention of saving her, nor do you plan to hand over that Lotus Jade. I’m warning you, you’d better not play any tricks. If anything happens to Jiu’er, you’re done for!”

”Damn it, are you done yet!” Ye Guichen suddenly realized he had been too lenient. He kept giving Su Ze face, yet this guy kept pushing his luck. Taking a step forward, he chopped Su Ze on the neck, knocking him unconscious.

Su Ze’s eyes rolled back, his lips twitched, as if cursing Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen didn’t bother with Su Ze anymore. Instead, he pointed to one of the henchmen: ”Wake him up and find out what’s going on first.”

Ti’er Daoist didn’t hold back and slapped the unconscious person across the face, waking him up instantly.

The man let out a scream, seeing Ye Guichen and Ti’er Daoist, he remembered being knocked out and was about to shout, but Ti’er Daoist had already wrapped his horsetail whisk around his neck: ”If you dare to scream again, I’ll strangle you right now.”

The henchman’s pupils shrank, he nodded woodenly, and said fearfully, ”You, who are you?”

”Where is Wen Daoxian?” Ye Guichen asked directly.

”Wen Daoxian?” The henchman was startled and confused: ”What Wen Daoxian? I, I don’t know.”

”Don’t know?” Ti’er Daoist’s lips curled up, his wrist shook slightly, one strand of the horsetail whisk, like a needle, pierced the henchman’s neck, causing him pain.

Instinctively, he raised his hand to grab the whisk, but Ti’er Daoist said, ”I’m not using lethal force on you now, but that doesn’t mean I won’t. If I want, the next strand will kill you!”

Cold sweat dripped from the henchman’s forehead: ”Daoist, Daoist, I, I really don’t know who Wen Daoxian is. I’m just here to help look after the place. Usually, it’s Mr. Liu who gives orders. If you want to find this Wen Daoxian, you can ask Mr. Liu. She definitely knows.”

”Mr. Liu?” Ye Guichen frowned: ”This casino is hers?”

”Yes, yes, but no, even though we take orders from Mr. Liu here, it seems Mr. Liu works for the Feng Family too. I really don’t know the rest.”

He was clearly terrified.

He was not even a third-rate fighter, probably just someone to maintain order. Under Ti’er Daoist’s threat, the fear of facing a fierce tiger overwhelmed him, leaving him too scared to say another word.

Being so large, blindly searching would probably take a lot of time to find out where Wen Daoxian lived.

Also, with Wen Daoxian’s cunning, if he found out they were coming, he would likely escape, making it harder to find him again.

”Take me to see Mr. Liu.” Ye Guichen decided not to hold back anymore. Since he was here, he didn’t plan to just go through the motions.

This casino operating under his nose, although belonging to the Feng Family, Ye Guichen didn’t mind shutting it down.

Ye Guichen despised such harmful places more than anything in his life.

The henchman was shocked upon hearing this, kneeling in front of Ye Guichen: ”I can’t, I can’t. If I take you to see Mr. Liu, she’ll kill me.”

”If you don’t lead the way, I’ll kill you now!” Ye Guichen’s face darkened.

The henchman’s face turned green instantly upon hearing this.

He knew Ye Guichen wasn’t joking.

If they dared to come here, they probably didn’t plan to leave easily.

Though unaware of Ye Guichen’s background or purpose, the henchman was forced to nod and lead Ye Guichen and Ti’er Daoist along a small path to the back of the courtyard.

There was an arched gateway leading to another courtyard.

Luckily, they didn’t encounter anyone along the way; otherwise, they would have alerted others.

In the other courtyard, the henchman pointed to a white-walled, red-tiled house not far away: ”Mr. Liu is in there.”

Ye Guichen nodded at Ti’er Daoist, who then knocked the henchman out again and tossed him behind some bushes before following Ye Guichen to the door.

Ye Guichen knocked on the door.

A woman’s voice came from inside: ”Who is it?”

”I’m here to see Mr. Liu,” Ye Guichen said.

”Hmm?” The woman inside evidently hadn’t heard of Ye Guichen’s voice before and hadn’t been informed, so she became cautious and ordered, ”Xiao Tong, go see.”

A girl named Xiao Tong opened the door and was about to ask a question when Ye Guichen barged in.

”Who are you?” Xiao Tong exclaimed, ”Guards!”

In the next second, a dozen people rushed out from outside.

Each one held a stick, looking fiercely at Ye Guichen.

Ye Guichen frowned slightly, and ordered Ti’er Daoist: ”Guard the outside.”

Then, he closed the door and asked the girl named Xiao Tong: ”I’m here to see Mr. Liu, please announce my presence.”

”Who are you?” Xiao Tong continued to ask.

Ye Guichen smiled: ”I’m in a hurry. Please be quick.”

”Hmph, looking for death!” Unexpectedly, Xiao Tong’s hand moved swiftly. A dagger flew from her sleeve into her hand.

In almost an instant, Xiao Tong had grabbed the dagger and aimed it at Ye Guichen’s chest.

This series of movements took less than a second.

Ye Guichen was slightly surprised. This seemingly seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl was quite skilled, likely at the peak of third-rate fighters, which was impressive for her age.

However, Ye Guichen didn’t hold back either. Seeing the dagger coming, he smiled faintly, shifted his body slightly, grasped Xiao Tong’s wrist, and twisted it forcefully.

Xiao Tong cried out in pain, dropping the dagger.

Ye Guichen grabbed the dagger and twisted Xiao Tong’s arm behind her back, placing the dagger at her throat: ”I told you, I’m here to see Mr. Liu, no ill intentions.”

Xiao Tong’s face changed dramatically.

She hadn’t expected her sneak attack to fail and be easily neutralized by Ye Guichen. She panicked: ”Sister, run!”

Although she didn’t know Ye Guichen’s intentions, barging in unannounced suggested he might be here to kill.

Just a few minutes ago, Feng Wuji had appeared, and now someone else had come. She thought Ye Guichen and Feng Wuji had teamed up to kill Liu Ruyi.

However, after Xiao Tong’s shout, a figure emerged from the inner room -- it was Liu Ruyi.

Liu Ruyi exuded a lazy elegance, her demeanor exceptionally noble. Wearing a red robe, she revealed much of her beautiful figure.

”Did Master Feng send you to kill me?” Liu Ruyi asked lightly, without much panic.

This was her territory, and with many guards outside, Liu Ruyi wasn’t afraid at all.
