Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 389 - 341 Same Year, Same Month, Same Day (Second Update)
"You were indulging yourself in Red Valley, and I was furious watching you. I couldn’t bring myself to kill you, so I thought about killing those two women instead. The security near the estate was too tight, making it difficult for strangers to get close. So, I went to the Audridge Building, planning to kill Joyina first.
But when I got into the elevator, I overheard her chatting with Mi Chenshuo. That’s when I realized I had made an error—neither of those women were your girlfriends. I’m not someone who kills the innocent, so I immediately abandoned the idea of murdering her. Later, at the revolving restaurant, I ran into Cai, who was working there.
Cai said that after leaving Haotian, she had been drifting around doing odd jobs. While in the elevator, I heard Joyina mention that Wanzhou Film Studio was recruiting actors in the afternoon, so I suggested Cai try her luck. I even casually added, ’If you’re lucky, you might see Tong Airui’s wife—a rare beauty.’ 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Who knew she’d take it as an opportunity to commit murder? Unwittingly, I ended up aiding her crime. My master’s death was unjust, but grudges have origins and debts have owners. I came here only to kill Tong Yuanhang. If possible, I also want to kill Tong Airui, because it was his hand that ultimately killed my master."
"I forbid you from killing them!" Mi Chenxuan roared. Seeing You’s pitiful gaze, he softened slightly, "You, don’t make me hate you, alright?"
You pouted. "I won’t make you hate me. Can you stop yelling at me then?"
Mi Chenxuan nodded. "You need to fully let go of the idea of killing my fourth brother and Yuan Hang, so I can figure out how to save you."
You muttered as she contemplated, "Tong Yuanhang said that when he found my master, my master was already dead. I have no reason to kill him anymore. As for Tong Airui... Tong Airui is your cousin. If I really kill him, you definitely wouldn’t speak to me again. Forget it, anyway, I didn’t have much affection for my master. When I was little, there was even a time he almost strangled me to death. I won’t avenge him for that grudge."
Mi Chenxuan frowned slightly. "Why did Du Ma try to strangle you?"
"I don’t know. He visited the base once a year, and every time he went, he was in a terrible mood. Almost every time he visited, someone at the base would wind up dead. Back then, I was too young to understand why he wanted to kill me. I only remember that if it weren’t for my master saving me at the cost of his own life, I’d already be dead."
Mi Chenxuan patted her hand. "It’s all in the past; don’t dwell on unpleasant memories. We’ve made an agreement—you aren’t allowed to entertain thoughts of harming my fourth brother."
You nodded. "To ensure you don’t hate me, I definitely won’t harm your family members."
"The people you’ve killed—who’s their current master?"
"Sato Mu."
"Sato Mu? The leader of the Qinglin Gang?" Mi Chenxuan had been undercover at Haotian for some time and had heard of this name.
"Yes. After my master’s death, Sato Mu took over the base. Those who submitted to him were allowed to stay; those who didn’t were either killed or driven away. Among those of us who resisted, many are either dead or on the run. If I weren’t clever and skilled in combat, I’d probably be dead several times over."
"The prisoner secretly transferred from Haotian—was it you who killed him?"
You furiously responded, "It was his scheme that got my master killed! I must kill him with my own hands."
Mi Chenxuan sighed helplessly. "But if you kill him, we’ll lose the lead."
"Everything he knows, I know too. I can tell you."
"What do you know?"
You thought for a moment. "The cook, the delivery worker, and even Cai—these were all people planted by Sato Mu."
"Why would he do that?"
"I often sneaked back to the base to eavesdrop on their conversations. Only by doing this could I figure out where the people I wanted to kill were being sent. Once, I overheard Sato Mu talking to a pretty boy, saying they wanted to get rid of Tong Airui, who was a thorn in their side. Their plan was to create tensions between him and Muta, then have someone else deal with him.
Oh, and they also arranged for a princess from some country to marry Muta’s son. After she moves to Xianwu, they wanted her to stir up conflicts between Tong Airui and Muta. However, it seems the princess failed to execute the plan properly, and Sato Mu ended up getting scolded by the pretty boy."
"I’m aware of this. The princess you’re talking about is named Shiqing." Mi Chenxuan gazed intently at You. "Do you know this pretty boy who scolded Sato Mu?"
You shook her head. "No, but he frequently visits the base. I’ve seen him several times."
"Are there still people from their side in Xianwu?"
You pouted. "Yes, but if I were to tell you everything, wouldn’t I be no different from those who betrayed my master?"
Mi Chenxuan grasped You’s hand tightly. "You, if those people are here in Xianwu simply to survive, we won’t pursue them. But if they’re here with other intentions, we must take precautions. My fourth brother treats me better than anyone else—even better than my own brother. I have to protect him."
You’s gaze fell on Mi Chenxuan’s hand. "Mi Chenxuan, you’re different today from the you I’ve seen before!"
"On normal days, I can joke around, but when it comes to the country, or my fourth brother, I have to get serious."
You hesitated and finally asked after a long pause, "Will you be this serious for me too in the future?"
"Not in the future, You. Soon, you’ll see that I’ll risk my life for you too."
Outside the door, Tong Airui wasn’t just experiencing a headache—this cheeky kid was clearly saying this for his benefit. Everything You had disclosed would soon become leverage for negotiations.
Yuan Hang glanced at Tong Airui and mouthed silently, "Do you want to hide?"
Tong Airui glared at him, responding with lip movements of his own. "Do you think I can hide?"
Yuan Hang shook his head. "But none of us can guarantee this girl won’t suddenly turn hostile. What if she tries to hurt you?"
Tong Airui curled his lips slightly. "With her intelligence, hurting me would be impossible!"
"She may lack intelligence, but her combat skills are five-star level." Yuan Hang waved his large hand in front of Tong Airui’s face.
Tong Airui chuckled. "If she’s five-star, then how many stars do my combat skills warrant?"
"Before you had your wife, you were at full health. But after having her, you’ve been drained dry."
Tong Airui kicked Yuan Hang, but Yuan Hang had already prepared himself and leaped aside.
"Fourth Brother!" Mi Chenxuan dashed out while holding You’s hand, handing a letter to Tong Airui. "Here’s the list You has provided—you should take a look."
Tong Airui lowered his head to glance at it. "Haotian’s written script."
"Turns out there are things you don’t know?" You teased gleefully, tilting her head.
Tong Airui curled his lips slightly. "So there are spies in the palace!? A chef at the artillery school? Someone in Baron Lan’s home... Yuan Hang, deploy people right away to monitor these individuals. If there’s no suspicious activity, let them enjoy their lives in Xianwu; if we spot anything abnormal, apprehend them immediately."
You pouted once again. "So you can read it! Fine, I’ll give you a friendly tip—there’s someone in the palace and someone at the artillery school you should apprehend directly without bothering to monitor."
Yuan Hang took the letter and looked at You. "Not going to offer a few more tips? There are at least twenty people on this list—it’s going to take a lot of manpower to keep an eye on them all."
You scoffed. "I’m not reckless—I won’t speak on things I’m not certain about."
"Yuan Hang, hurry up and take care of it. I have something to discuss with my fourth brother." Mi Chenxuan urged Yuan Hang impatiently.
Tong Airui chuckled helplessly. He knew he couldn’t evade this situation. As expected, the moment he gave them a taste of sweetness, they immediately wanted to reclaim it.
