"Do you think it's possible that the young tycoon wasn't actually that powerful, but rather that he had a super expert lurking around him, and that expert was the one who killed Shangguan Fei and the assassin leader, Ren Tuo?"

As the discussion unfolded, someone soon raised an objection.

After all, these people usually make a living by risking their lives, so they know Zhao Long, Qian Yao, and Shangguan Fei well.

Everyone knows what methods Shangguan Fei possesses, given his ranking in the top three.

It's truly terrifying that even such a ruthless character could fall and lose his life.

"What you say makes sense."

The young tycoon was said to be very intelligent and had a good business sense, but even if he was exceptionally intelligent, he could never have such a skill to turn the tables.

Besides, he's so young. Even if he really knew the ways of assassins, how could he possibly withstand the assassination attempts of the assassin Ren Tuo and Shangguan Fei?

He definitely has top-tier bodyguards around him!

Immediately, others echoed in agreement.

"Super Bodyguard?"

You make it sound so easy!

Then let me ask you, what kind of bodyguard could withstand a fatal blow from the assassins Ren Tuo and Shangguan Fei?

"According to you, if it's not a super bodyguard, then it must be Ji Xiuhan himself?"

How could someone so young possess such terrifying methods? Is he even a business genius?

"That's right. Ji Xiuhan is too young. No matter how capable he is, he couldn't possibly have such methods. He must have a super bodyguard by his side."

"Alright, you're right. Then let me ask you, even if he really did hire a super bodyguard, which bodyguard could withstand a fatal blow from Shangguan Fei and the assassin leader, and even kill them in return?"

"Could it be one of the two ranked second or first? Did Ji Xiuhan poach their players?"

"Shut your dog mouth! You can't just say things like that!"

Besides, one of those two big shots is on vacation abroad, and I saw the other just a couple of days ago. How could they possibly be Ji Xiuhan's bodyguards?

"Even if it really is those two, it would be no easy task for them to easily take down the assassin Ren Tuo and Shangguan Fei."

After all, the top three are very evenly matched!

After some debate, the top two were ultimately excluded.

"Could it be that the legendary big shot has come out of seclusion?"

Suddenly, someone muttered something under their breath.

"You mean the Emperor Killer?"

Everyone couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.

The title of "Killer King" is truly too great. Although he has retired from the assassin world for several years and the assassin rankings have been re-established twice, his prestige still shakes the entire assassin community.

Even the one currently ranked at the top doesn't dare to provoke the Wu family army in the slightest.

Both are first place, but their prestige is incomparable.

But no matter what, the Maldives has now become a forbidden zone for all assassins, and no one dares to set foot there anymore.

Now let's talk about Xiao Ran.

She and Ye Haitao stayed at the hospital with Ye Boxiong. Through this incident, she not only completely won the trust of everyone in the Ye family, but also gained excellent reputation throughout the capital.

Everyone praised the eldest daughter of the Xiao family for her outstanding appearance and proper conduct. The Ye family was incredibly fortunate to have such a daughter-in-law.

Xiao Ran naturally became the undisputed backbone of the Ye family.

That night, she barely slept a wink, constantly sneaking peeks at her phone, anxiously awaiting the message she wanted.

Unfortunately, she waited from 11 p.m. until 3 or 4 a.m., checking her phone countless times, but the screen remained blank and there was no movement whatsoever.

Although she didn't understand the ways of an assassin, she knew that midnight was the best time for an assassination.

As dawn approached, it was already five o'clock in the morning, and still no news came.

Xiao Ran was furious.

That scoundrel must have lied to her again! He never arranged for anyone to go to the Maldives; it was all an act from beginning to end!

Thinking that she had given up her chastity, which she had guarded for nearly thirty years, to that man for this matter, only to receive this result, Xiao Ran felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.

"Men are all heartless and ungrateful, treacherous and wicked!"

"Whether it's that bastard Ji Xiuhan or that dog of a man, they're all the same kind of good people!"

"I must have been blind to know Ji Xiuhan, and to believe that bastard's lies!"

"I will take revenge. Whether it's Ji Xiuhan or that bastard, I will never let them get away with it!"

"If I want to take revenge on them, I must rely on the power of the Ye family. I must marry into the Ye family as soon as possible and become the true mistress of the Ye family!"

"Once I become the matriarch of the Ye family, Ji Xiuhan, and that bastard, I will make you regret ever being born..."

Xiao Ran cursed wildly in his heart.

In order to persuade that man to take action and get revenge on Ji Xiuhan, she was willing to sacrifice the chastity she had guarded for more than thirty years.

In the end, all they got was nothing, and their resentment was palpable.

Xiao Ran was completely unaware that her every move was being observed by Ye Haitao.

"Xiao Ran is indeed a problematic woman, and a very problematic one at that!"

"That night, she checked her phone a total of eighty-nine times, and was restless the entire time. There's no doubt she has another man on the side!"

"Xiao Ran, since you want to use me, then I'll grant your wish and let you marry into the Ye family as soon as possible!"

"Hahaha! Once you marry into this family, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

At this moment, Ye Haitao no longer felt any love for Xiao Ran, only overwhelming hatred.

He blamed Xiao Ran for the whole incident where he was framed and turned into a eunuch.

In fact, Ye Boxiong had already recovered, but the attending physician and the hospital were unwilling to take the risk, so they advised him to stay in the hospital for observation for a few more days.

He was perfectly clear-headed at the moment, but his heart was filled with growing unease.

His most trusted and loyal subordinate, Lao Niu, has been gone for more than ten days and there has been no news of him since.

Meanwhile, in the Maldives, all was calm and peaceful, as if nothing had happened except for the previous diving accident.

Around four or five in the morning, when it was almost dawn, he finally drifted off to sleep.

No sooner had he entered the dream than he saw a person with black blood dripping from the corner of their mouth suddenly appear before him.

The man wore gold-rimmed glasses and stared intently at him, black blood trickling down his chin, yet he remained silent.

Ye Boxiong was frightened and repeatedly questioned loudly.

The man continued to stare at him, the complex emotions in his eyes causing Ye Boxiong's heart to skip a beat.

Although the face was somewhat unfamiliar, the look in the eyes behind those glasses was so familiar it broke his heart. He couldn't help but cry out, "Old Niu!"

Upon hearing the call, the unfamiliar face suddenly let out a soft sigh, and then its figure slowly disappeared.

"Old Niu! Is that really you?"

Ye Boxiong broke down instantly and screamed incoherently.

He knew that sigh all too well; it was the unique sound of the old ox that had been with him for over thirty years.

But before that figure disappeared, his feet were off the ground; he wasn't walking, he was floating away!

"A ghost! There's a ghost!"

"No! You're not Lao Niu! You're not Lao Niu!"

Ye Boxiong was so frightened that he nearly jumped out of his skin and started screaming and rolling around.
