Chapter 457: The 0456th Challenge (Four updates)_1
“Ye Xiong, you wouldn’t suspect me, would you?” Duanmu Linglong quickly explained. “I don’t know anything about your company, and I have no idea where the video surveillance is located. How could I possibly provide information to Mrs. Su?”
At this moment, Ye Xiong’s mind was full of the image of Yang Xinyi, and he had no idea how she was faring now.
He tried calling Guo Furong’s cell phone, but it was switched off, completely unreachable.
“Everyone, take out your phones,” Ye Xiong ordered.
Chen Xiao and Zhuque handed over their phones, and Duanmu Linglong also surrendered hers.
“I’ll hold onto these for the time being,” said Ye Xiong. Turning to He Mengji, he said, “Call the An Family Sisters and Murong Ruyin, and ask them to hurry back.”

He Mengji went aside to make the call.
Ye Xiong walked to the window and looked out into the pitch-black night, his emotions fluctuating.
Why can’t life ever be calm for a moment? How he longed for a peaceful life!
Damn Beast Organization.
Chen Xiao came over to stand beside him.
“Don’t worry, their target is you, Yang Xinyi won’t be harmed,” Chen Xiao said.
“It’s not the likely things I’m afraid of, but the unlikely ones. Xinyi is quite timid, she must be very scared being alone,” Ye Xiong replied.
“After being with you for so long, she’s learned to be strong. Don’t worry, she’s not as fragile as you imagine.”
“I hope that’s the case.” Hearing this, Ye Xiong felt somewhat calmer.
“Have you and Zhuque gotten together?” He suddenly asked.
Chen Xiao felt a bit embarrassed: “Trying to date.”
Ye Xiong really hadn’t expected that. Yang Xinyi had mentioned a few times before that Chen Xiao and Zhuque had gone out together, but he hadn’t thought they would really become an item.
“Aren’t you a fan of curves though? What interest do you have in someone so flat-chested?”
“Well, she’s not exactly flat-chested, there’s something if you squeeze a bit,” Chen Xiao said with a laugh.
“Nice, even that has been squeezed. Can’t help but admire you.”
Ye Xiong remembered Zhuque’s demeanor, colder even than Phoenix’s. The difficulty of wooing her was even greater than winning over Phoenix, yet Chen Xiao had managed to charm her.
Chen Xiao gave an awkward smile, shifted the subject, and said earnestly, “Boss, do you really think there’s a mole among the core members?”
“It’s just a guess at this point.”
“I think we shouldn’t jump to conclusions without proof. It’s too demoralizing. Now we’re all feeling insecure, who knows who might be misunderstood.”
“I want to spread the word to put pressure on the mole. If someone is clean, they have nothing to fear, right?” Ye Xiong replied.
“That’s one way to look at it. The Beast Organization is indeed pervasive. Just recently, we purged a mole, and now there’s another one. It’s hard to say how they manage to recruit people.”
“There are too many ways to control someone. Those with weak wills can easily fall victim,” Ye Xiong said.
The two of them hadn’t been chatting long when Murong Ruyin and the An Family Sisters returned. Except for Thirteen, who was out on a mission, all the core members had assembled.
Ye Xiong’s gaze swept over them.
He Mengji, Chen Xiao, Zhuque, Angel, An Le, Murong Ruyin, Duanmu Linglong.
Apart from He Mengji, each of the other six could potentially be the mole, or it could just be his own overthinking.
“This is the most difficult time for our Hunter Organization. A group of mysterious people in league with the Beast Organization caught us by surprise. They are well-equipped and numerous; we don’t know who they are, and we have been severely disadvantaged. I hope that going forward, we will all work together and get through this tough period.”
As Ye Xiong was speaking words of inspiration, He Mengji’s phone suddenly rang.
After answering, she said hurriedly, “Dozens of people with guns are coming our way, it looks like they followed the three of them.”
The ‘them’ He Mengji referred to were Murong Ruyin and the An Family Sisters.
“As soon as they arrived, the other party came knocking on the door, could it really be such a coincidence?” Vermilion Bird said coldly.
“They moved so fast, it’s impossible not to believe there’s a mole.”
Duanmu Linglong snorted coldly, her gaze falling upon Murong Ruyin.
“When I came, I checked, there was no tailing.” Murong Ruyin said.
“Same for us,” An Le said.
“Could it be that they found us on their own?” Duanmu Linglong sneered.
“Duanmu Linglong, what exactly are you trying to say?” Murong Ruyin detected the veiled criticism in her words.
“Stop arguing, it’s just a few dozen men, are we afraid of them or what?” Ye Xiong interrupted the quarrel.
Now that he had no concerns for his rear, he wanted to see just how badly the other party would die.
“Chen Xiao, Vermilion Bird, the three of us will go out, everyone else stays here to guard. I want to see what abilities they possess,” Ye Xiong said, brimming with killing intent.
“We sisters will go too,” An Le said eagerly.
“No, you sisters stay here,” Ye Xiong ordered, then walked out with Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird.
In Huaxia Country, private organizations weren’t allowed to possess firearms, so Ye Xiong and the others didn’t have guns.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, the three of them charged towards the surging pursuers.
Under the cover of darkness, Ye Xiong once again became the Reaper, activating Reaper’s harvester mode.
The enemy didn’t even know what hit them and fell into a chaos of screams…
Inside the villa where Long Lan was.
The three were sitting in the office waiting for news when suddenly Zhao Wuji’s phone rang.
“Boss, we can’t hold them off, almost seventy of our men are down,” a member of the Cloud Guild called.
“What?” Zhao Wuji stood up suddenly and anxiously asked, “Did the other side get reinforcements?”
“Only three people from their side moved in, they are too strong, like ghosts, we can’t even see their shadows.”
The moment the words were spoken, a scream was heard on the other end of the line, clearly, the person calling had been killed.
Ye Xiong, covered in blood, picked up the phone which hadn’t been disconnected yet and spoke coldly, “Zhao Wuji, give the phone to Long Lan.”
Ye Xiong had caught a live one just earlier, after interrogation, he learned that these sudden attackers were from the Cloud Guild.
The Cloud Guild was a well-known large faction in Huaxia Country, raising a bunch of airborne troops specialized for various missions.
Due to the highly mobile and elusive nature of the airborne troops, striking swiftly and vanishing just as quickly, they had substantial lethality and caught people off guard, making them a force feared by many powers.
The Hunter Bodyguard Company was caught off guard by these airborne troops, which led to their terrible plight.
Long Lan stood up, took over the phone, and sneered, “Reaper, long time no see.”
“Long Lan, where’s my woman?”
“She’s in my hands, safe for now, but I can’t guarantee what will happen in a while.”
“Name your terms.” Ye Xiong didn’t bother with any further banter.
“Don’t rush, fighting a war, of course, means gathering the elite before the battle begins. Wait for my message!”
“Waiting for backup, huh? I really want to see what sort of monsters Ghost, this old immortal, will send to face me this time.”
“I’m sure you won’t be disappointed,” Long Lan sneered.
“Your fight is with me, don’t touch my woman, I’ll be waiting.”
Ye Xiong hung up the phone, his face growing even darker.
