Chapter 245: 245, I almost ripped out my heart for her to eat (Fourth update)

"Master, please calm down," Wei Bei said, summoning his courage.

They didn’t want it to be this way, but given the current situation, they had no other choice.

Li Mochan’s eyes held a chill, "Get out of my way."

Wei Nan and the other two stood firm.

This was the first time they had ever defied Li Mochan.

Anxious, but helpless.

Ye Jiuliang’s gaze deepened slightly; the reaction of Wei Nan and the others was actually quite normal. They were simply anxious to protect their master.

Her lips pursed, "Li Mochan, just stand there, that’s enough."

Li Mochan looked up at her, his austere face softening slightly.

"Sorry, for keeping you in the dark for so long," Ye Jiuliang’s fingertips curled slightly as she avoided his gaze.

When the moment actually came, she was still nervous.

Fearful of seeing anger and doubt in his eyes.

She was just about to speak when her phone in her pocket suddenly rang.

That ringtone, it was the exclusive emergency ringtone for the four of them.

Her expression shifted slightly as she took out her phone and glanced at it; it was a message from Chu Chen.

[Aqian is injured, return immediately.]

Ye Jiuliang’s gaze turned cold, and she put the phone back in her pocket.

She looked up at Li Mochan and took off the ring she was holding, "Li Mochan, I know this ring has its own significance, let’s both take some time to cool off in the next few days."

After saying that, she placed the ring back on the table and turned to run out.

To Li Mochan, this act undoubtedly meant she intended to leave him behind.

She wanted to set boundaries between them.

Li Mochan’s eyes turned frosty, a storm brewing within them as he rushed out the door.

"Ye Jiuliang!"

In the dead of night, the sound of a car engine starting echoed in the courtyard.

By the time Li Mochan caught up, the black sports car had already left the estate.

He didn’t even catch a glimpse of its taillights.

"Ye Jiuliang!"

His voice, low and cold, roared with injury and indignation.

The little devil, she just left him behind like that.

If he didn’t trust her, how could he have given her that ring?

He all but gave her his heart to devour, yet she still chose to run away.

Wei Nan and the others came out, seeing only Li Mochan’s solitary and desolate tall figure in the courtyard.

"Wei Nan, what should we do?" Wei Xi asked softly.

No one had expected Ye Jiuliang to run away so suddenly; the murderous aura of their master was nearly terrifying.

Wei Nan shook his head, no one had expected the master to actually give that ring to Ye Jiuliang. This level of regard went beyond mere liking.

It was a firm commitment.

To the extent that he was even willing to present the empire he had conquered at Ye Jiuliang’s feet.

Far off, Li Mochan suddenly turned around.

His face darkened, his gaze icy and severe, making Wei Nan and the others tense up immediately.

"Find her, keep a close watch on the exits at the airport," his voice was cold and slightly hoarse, "If you can’t find her, don’t bother coming back."

Wei Nan and the others’ faces paled as they swallowed hard.

Their master’s look was terrifying, as if he was about to flay them alive.

...

Elsewhere

Ye Jiuliang didn’t go to the airport to take a plane; instead, she took a private jet from Organization K back to Country Y.

As dawn broke, the plane arrived at headquarters.

"What happened, wasn’t Aqian in W City?" Ye Jiuliang asked as she walked.

Gu Xinuo’s face was grave, "Someone used a face-changing mask to impersonate one of us, and that person also knows how to use poison. Aqian accidentally got poisoned."

Hearing the words, Ye Jiuliang knitted his brows, a hint of menace spreading in his eyes.

The door was ajar; the two of them pushed it open and entered.

In the bedroom, Ji Mingqian lay unconscious, with Chu Chen standing guard beside him.

Seeing Ye Jiuliang return, Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ajiu, take a look at him quickly."

Ye Jiuliang lowered her eyes to look at Ji Mingqian, who had purple lips and a deathly pale face; he was undoubtedly poisoned.

She reached out to feel his wrist, then after a while, she withdrew her hand, "I’ll go to the pharmacy."

Leaving behind a single statement, she was gone in a flash.

Gu Xinuo looked at the unconscious person on the bed, full of worry.

Before long, Ye Jiuliang ran back with a medicine box.

She took out a black porcelain bottle and handed it to Chu Chen, "Pour one out and give it to Aqian."

Chu Chen took it, lifted Ji Mingqian up, and Gu Xinuo poured a glass of water and came over to help.

Ye Jiuliang glanced at them and then took out a silver needle, pricking one of Ji Mingqian’s fingers.

Black blood dripped down, which she caught in a clean bottle.

"The poison in Aqian’s body has been temporarily suppressed; I will go back to the pharmacy to work on an antidote. Call me if you need anything."

After giving instructions, Ye Jiuliang screwed on the bottle cap and left with the medicine box.

Gu Xinuo bent down and adjusted Ji Mingqian’s blanket.

"Don’t worry, with Ajiu here, he’ll be fine," Chu Chen gently touched her head and said softly.

Gu Xinuo hummed in acknowledgment.

**

At dawn, Wei Bei and Wei Nan rushed back.

"Wei Xi, did you find the person?"

Wei Xi put down his computer, pinching the bridge of his nose, looking somewhat fatigued, "Not yet, I’ve checked all the outbound records at the airport, no trace."

"Where could one get to in such a short time?" Wei Bei frowned.

If they didn’t find the person, their master was likely to go mad.

"Moreover, it is strange that when the madam came to Country F, there was also no record of her taking a flight at the airport," Wei Xi added.

Wei Nan speculated, "She must’ve come on a private plane."

Upon hearing this, Wei Bei and Wei Xi’s expressions darkened slightly.

"Who exactly is the madam?" Wei Bei voiced his confusion. She was always calm in the face of danger.

Even when dealing with Brooke, she was unphased by the bloody scene as if it were normal for her.

"Wei Xi, why don’t you check?" Wei Bei suggested.

Wei Xi shot him a glance, "Did I need your suggestion? I’ve just checked, but apart from some basic information, I couldn’t find anything else."

At his words, Wei Nan became even more anxious.

If she is a friend, then there’s no harm, but if she is an enemy, their master...

"Is the master still in the room?"

Wei Xi nodded, "He hasn’t come out at all."

"Really! The madam could have at least explained before leaving. I’ve never seen the master in that state before," Wei Bei grumbled.

His eyes were like that of one willing to destroy everything, one glance and you’d feel as if you’d fallen into an ice cave.

Wei Xi said, "I think it was also because of that ringtone on the mobile phone. I don’t know what was sent in that message, but the madam’s complexion changed after seeing it. There must have been some urgent matter that cropped up." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

At this, Wei Bei fell silent too.

...

The lights were still on in the bedroom by daybreak.

Ye Jiuliang’s backpack lay on the sofa, as though she was still there.

On the carpet, a man sat with his long legs crossed, in the same spot where Ye Jiuliang sat the night before.

He was brooding, his deep eyes as still as a ancient pond without a ripple, like a black hole with no end in sight and emotions unreadable.

The strikingly articulated hand was clutching a jacket, judging by its size and style, it was Ye Jiuliang’s, left behind here.

Suddenly, those cool dark eyes shifted, his gaze settling heavily on the backpack not far away.

The previously motionless figure finally moved. He reached out for the backpack and carefully unzipped it.
