Beautiful CEO's Top Expert-Chapter 897 - 0: Too Many People Want Me Dead

Does Qiu Ruoxi fear Ye Xunhuan might die?

The answer is unquestionably yes!

If she weren’t afraid, or if she didn’t care, she wouldn’t be so anxious about him.

After seeing Ye Xunhuan together with Su Guyan last time, Qiu Ruoxi came to a clear realization—she truly likes this man.

But this guy is infuriating, always keeping the two of them in a lukewarm state.

Now, upon realizing that Ye Xunhuan might really die, her emotions break loose like a flood bursting through a dam, unstoppable. freewёbnoνel.com

"I’m scared!" Qiu Ruoxi nodded as she said, "Xunhuan, will you die? Will Aunt and the others save you..."

Tears welled up again as she spoke.

At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi no longer bore the aloof, proud demeanor of a high-and-mighty CEO. Instead, she had transformed into a delicate, sentimental figure—like Lin Daiyu who mourns while scattering blossoms.

Seeing Qiu Ruoxi about to cry again, Ye Xunhuan knew she was genuinely frightened, truly worried about him. He quickly spoke: "My dear wife, don’t worry; as long as we haven’t consummated our marriage, I won’t die. Even if I do, I should leave behind descendants, or I’d be completely unfilial..."

"You bastard! At a time like this, you still have the nerve to joke with me..." Qiu Ruoxi glared at Ye Xunhuan, her tear-filled eyes brimming with frustration.

Under normal circumstances, if Ye Xunhuan were teasing her like this, it wouldn’t matter. But now Qiu Ruoxi was genuinely in no mood to listen to Ye Xunhuan’s nonsense.

"I mean it!" Ye Xunhuan said earnestly, "I won’t die. As long as I don’t want to die, not even Lin Zhennan—or anyone else in this world—can kill me!"

Silently, Ye Xunhuan added in his heart: Huaxia’s Guardian might be an exception.

To this day, Ye Xunhuan had never encountered Huaxia’s Guardian, but just knowing that even Olivia, that old witch, was deeply wary of them, he understood how formidable they must be.

Watching Ye Xunhuan’s confident demeanor, Qiu Ruoxi hesitated for a moment and asked skeptically: "Really?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

"Yes, more than once!"

Ye Xunhuan’s face instantly darkened. This woman really doesn’t know how to talk.

"Well, this time I’m telling the truth!" Ye Xunhuan made a serious promise to Qiu Ruoxi: "Don’t worry about me anymore; go do your own thing. In no more than two days, I’ll walk out of here myself!"

"There’s no need to worry!"

"Xunhuan, you... you better not lie to me..."

"Why would I lie to you?" Ye Xunhuan said solemnly: "If I truly die and you remarry, what then?"

"Remarrying is one thing, but if you take your new man to visit my grave, I couldn’t bear it. And if, on top of that, the kid you have with this man pees on my grave, I’d be furious even in my death..."

"Fine, Ye Xunhuan, if you dare die here, I’ll remarry. Then I’ll get married again and have kids, and the three of us will go to your grave to rub it in your face. I’ll make sure you can’t rest peacefully underground..." Qiu Ruoxi gritted her teeth and said.

But in the next moment, her fierce demeanor softened, replaced with a more fragile look. Her worried face filled with concern as she asked, "Xunhuan, you really won’t be in danger, right?"

Three lines of frustration appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s forehead: "Wife, do you think I’d joke about my own life?"

"I may be mouthy and often lie to you, but I would never deceive you with something like my life. All I can tell you is—there’s no way they can kill me. The rest isn’t convenient for me to disclose, yet!"

With that, Ye Xunhuan turned to the tightly shut door and called out: "Stop dawdling outside; come in!"

As Ye Xunhuan finished speaking, Wu Mei strode in from outside, exuding a valiant and heroic air in her police uniform.

"Officer Wu, would you mind escorting my wife home?"

Wu Mei glanced at Qiu Ruoxi, hesitated briefly, then said, "Alright!"

"Miss Qiu, let me take you back."

"I..."

"Trust me. Go home for now. I’ll return in two days!" Ye Xunhuan smiled and teased, "Take your time figuring out how to reward me once I’m back..."

"I think I’d rather see you cleaned up and waiting on the bed to be rewarded!"

Startled by his words, Qiu Ruoxi’s worried face suddenly flushed with embarrassment.

"If you make it back alive, I’ll agree to it!" Qiu Ruoxi bit her lip and murmured softly.

Ye Xunhuan froze, then his face lit up with joy: "Wife, what did you just say?"

"If you didn’t hear it, forget it!"

"Remember what you said! I promise I’ll come back safe and sound!"

Shortly after, Ye Xunhuan asked Wu Mei to escort Qiu Ruoxi out.

Originally, Ye Xunhuan just wanted to tease Qiu Ruoxi, but upon seeing her anxious expression, he hesitated—or rather couldn’t bear to do so.

The reason Ye Xunhuan wanted Qiu Ruoxi to leave wasn’t because he didn’t want to see her; it was because this place wasn’t suitable for her to stay. Besides, her presence here wouldn’t make a difference.

Wu Mei took Qiu Ruoxi out of the police station. Watching Qiu Ruoxi’s dazed state, with her hesitant steps and frequent glances back, Wu Mei sighed lightly and said, "Miss Qiu, don’t worry about him. He won’t die!"

"Really?"

"Yes!" Wu Mei nodded firmly while recalling what Ye Xunhuan had said to her earlier, as well as the person he wanted her to contact.

If that person indeed intervened, then even if Lin Zhennan wanted Ye Xunhuan dead, he’d have to think carefully.

Still, Wu Mei didn’t elaborate further to Qiu Ruoxi.

After Qiu Ruoxi left the police station interrogation room, Wang Shengli hurried in, wasting no time in handing Ye Xunhuan a cigarette.

Inside the interrogation room, Ye Xunhuan and Wang Shengli puffed away calmly, their faces showing no trace of worry.

"Old Wang, thank you for today!"

"Young Master Ye, there’s no need for that—this is my duty!"

"Last time, you risked your life to protect my wife, and I’m truly grateful. This time, you’ve once again helped her, and I won’t forget it!" Ye Xunhuan said while exhaling a cloud of smoke.

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wang Shengli’s face flushed with excitement but carried a cautious tone: "Young Master Ye, what I’ve done is insignificant compared to your situation now..."

"Old Wang, you saw it just now—if I wanted to leave, no one in this police station could stop me. But I still came anyway. Do you know why?"

"Young Master Ye, forgive me—I can’t guess your reasons!"

Ye Xunhuan chuckled: "There are too many people who want me dead. This is the perfect opportunity to see who else, besides Lin Zhennan, is targeting me. Once I find out, I’ll eliminate them one by one!"

His face turned grim, revealing a bloodthirsty determination.
