Chapter 253. Embrace His Wolf Cub (Four Updates)

Li Mochan was so protective of Ye Jiuliang, he would definitely not let it go if he knew the assassination attempt on Jiuliang had anything to do with him.

Li Hong almost had a heart attack when he realized it was indeed the Token he had stolen.

In front of everyone, he swung a ruthless slap across the face.

"Slap—"

"You idiot."

He could have provoked anyone else, but it just had to be Ye Jiuliang; didn’t that just offend Li Mochan, that god of slaughter, too? It made him so angry.

Li Hao fell to the ground with the bright red imprint of a hand on his face.

Knowing he had caused major trouble this time, Li Hao didn’t dare even whimper in pain.

"Miss Ye, I really had no idea about this. If I had known he would do such an outrageous thing, I would have definitely stopped him," Li Hong said as he took a breather, then turned towards Ye Jiuliang with a smile on his face, "Thankfully, it was a scare with no harm done, and you’re safe. If you want to punish this rascal, I have absolutely no objections, but the other members of the Li Family are innocent. Could you perhaps convince Mister Five not to implicate the innocent?"

Ye Jiuliang raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at Wei Bei, "Did Li Mochan come by?"

Wei Bei nodded, "The master has captured all those men in black who tried to assassinate you. When he heard you fell off the cliff, he went looking for you."

"When did he leave?" asked Jiuliang.

"Over an hour ago," he replied.

Ye Jiuliang furrowed her brow, and the hitherto silent Elder Master Li finally spoke, "Ye Jiuliang, now that you’re unharmed, we have no objections to you punishing Li Hao. However, let’s not blow this out of proportion, the family of Li Hong weren’t aware of this; please don’t make it difficult for Mohan, after all, Li Hong is still his elder."

"Heh."

Ye Jiuliang couldn’t help but feel an urge to laugh.

She looked calmly at Elder Master Li, her voice cool, "Why don’t you try jumping off that high cliff and see for yourself? If you can jump off, I’ll drop the matter."

Elder Master Li choked, "..."

No one else dared to interject.

They were also very curious about how she survived the fall from such a high cliff.

"What do you want to do then?" Elder Master Li asked with a heavy voice.

Ye Jiuliang took a step forward, looking down condescendingly at Li Hao as she kicked him, "Speak up, who is your accomplice?"

"I..." A chill swept through Li Hao’s heart, and he started to stammer.

Now they had to cooperate with Ye Jiuliang, otherwise once Li Mochan arrived, none of their family could escape. Li Hong, furious that his expectations were not met, hit Li Hao, "Speak up now."

"I don’t know her; she was a woman wearing a mask. I didn’t know who she was. She said that as long as I followed her instructions, she could help me get rid of you. I was manipulated by her," Li Hao knelt in front of her, wailing.

"Miss Ye, I was wrong. Please forgive me this once. I won’t dare do it again. I promise to stay away from you and never show up in front of you again."

A trace of contemplation flashed through Ye Jiuliang’s eyes. It seemed this was connected to those men in black again.

Li Hao and Wang Lian were merely pawns she used to carry out her plan.

Meanwhile, the sound of messy footsteps came from behind, and Wei Bei’s voice followed, "Master."

Everyone felt a blur of motion as a harsh breeze rushed at them.

Ye Jiuliang turned around and found herself in the cold embrace of a man.

Solid iron-like arms encircled her waist, making it difficult for her to breathe.

It was that same cold fragrance, that same embracing safety.

Li Mochan tightened his embrace around the figure in his arms, his profound eyes flickering with fear.

Fortunately, she was unharmed.
