"You canât kill us. Your K organizationâs brutal actions will eventually invite retaliations from other groups." Even at this point, Lihan dared to threaten them with such words.
"Who said weâre going to kill you?" Ye Jiuliang glanced at them carelessly, "Qin Er, keep an eye on them, spare their lives, and give them a good beating."
Since they dared to walk in openly and cause trouble, sheâd make sure they got carried out lying down.
"Yes."
"Also, spread the word; if anyone wants to attack our K organization again, let them choose an Auspicious Day before coming."
The K organization doesnât seek trouble, but if someone wants to bully them, they shouldnât blame them for being ruthless.
Qin Er, "Yes."
"If you donât hand over my big brother, donât think you can leave." Lihan pulled out a hidden dart from his waist and flung it towards Ye Jiuliang.
"Ha."
Ye Jiuliang calmly raised her hand, caught the dart between her fingers, and flicked it back.
Such ghostly speed, none around could see it clearly.
What terrifying skills.
"Ahâ"
A piercing scream echoed, a faint scent of blood pervading the air.
Lihanâs face turned ashen; a dart had pierced his heart, blood gushing out uncontrollably.
If you try to steal a chicken, you might end up losing the riceâexactly his situation.
His bloated body slowly fell, nobody approached to help him, as if they were scared stiff.
Watching the lifeless person on the ground, Qin Erâs gaze was contemptuous.
You brought this disaster upon yourself.
"Go ahead." Ye Jiuliang looked at the others, who were dumbstruck, and said indifferently.
She turned away, exiting through the secret door, "Leave the rest to you, beat them and throw them back."
Consider it accumulating good fortune for her kids, sheâd let them off this time.
Qin Er nodded, "Yes."
Ignoring the screams behind her, Ye Jiuliang walked away with a graceful demeanor.
...
After a whole afternoon of fun, it was close to nine when they returned to the hotel.
Afraid that Jiang Hai and the others might notice something amiss, Ji Mingqian had to return to his other booked room.
Having freshened up, Jiang Yisheng curled up on the sofa, browsing Weibo.
With Ji Mingqian liking his post on Weibo earlier today, now the trending topics were all about them.
Scrolling through his feed, Jiang Yisheng couldnât help but laugh.
Three years older, yet still so childish.
He raised his hand, grabbing the pendant, the smile on his face gradually fading, with a hint of worry casting a shadow over his features.
The shoot would end tomorrow; his father wanted to keep him in the dark, but that wasnât an easy thing to do.
Once filming ended, heâd have to go home, meaning he couldnât see that person anytime he wished.
Thinking about it, he sighed lightly.
**
In the expansive room, the clinking sound of teacups colliding was faintly audible.
Jiang Hai sat upright on the sofa, holding a newspaper, flipping through it, but not taking in a single word.
After a while, he closed the newspaper and turned to look at his wife, who was applying a facial mask, "Veya, do you know who gave Asheng the necklace on his neck?"
"Why are you asking about this all of a sudden?" Veya turned her face to look at him, gently pressing the mask on her face.
"Nothing much, just thought the necklace looked quite unique." Jiang Hai said casually.
"The first time I saw it, I also thought that green diamond star pendant was quite unique," Veya said warmly, obviously not noticing the additional silver tag pendant on Jiang Yishengâs necklace.
"I thought it was given by some girl who liked him, but he said it was from a friend."
"Man or woman?"
Veya removed the face mask and laughed, "And you said I was in a hurry to have Asheng find a wife, youâre the same. But youâll be disappointed; Asheng said it was given by a friend from his circle, itâs a man."
"Itâs probably from some brand, Asheng has received many such jewelry and the like from brands before."
Upon hearing this, a dark glint flashed in Jiang Haiâs eyes, feigning ignorance, "Do you know who gave Ahanâs necklace then?"
"Xiaojiu gave it; I asked once out of curiosity. Xiaojiu joked it was a token of love, but I think itâs probably true too." Veya stood up and walked toward the bathroom.
"Why are you suddenly interested in this, hinting you want me to give you a necklace too?"
A bit lost, Jiang Hai chuckled and replied, "Sure, how about you give me one on Valentineâs Day, and Iâll wear it every day?"
"Stop it, Iâve given you so many before, and never seen you wear any, Iâm done giving them to you." Veyaâs voice came from the bathroom.
After a momentâs thought, Jiang Hai suddenly stood up, "Veya, Iâm going to visit Asheng, Iâll be back later."
"Alright."
Leaving the room, Jiang Hai headed straight to Jiang Yishengâs room.
He knocked on the door, "Asheng."
Soon, the door opened from inside.
"Dad, you havenât rested yet at this late hour?"
Jiang Hai discreetly glanced at him, the necklace was hidden beneath the collar.
His gaze moved past him, drawn to another person in the room, "Mingqian is here too."
"Uncle." Ji Mingqian greeted politely.
"Dad, we were playing games and chatting about work." Jiang Yisheng found a reason to dodge.
"Dad, would you like to come in and sit?"
"No need, I just came to borrow a razor." Jiang Hai said, "I canât get accustomed to the hotelâs one."
Jiang Yisheng agreed and turned to get the razor from the bathroom.
"Uncle, why donât you come in and have a seat?" Ji Mingqian invited warmly.
Jiang Hai entered the room, his gaze flickering at the paused game on the TV screen.
This was when Jiang Yisheng returned with the razor, "Dad, here you go."
Jiang Hai reached out and took the razor, saying, "Donât play games too late, get some rest early."
"Got it." Jiang Yisheng quickly replied.
With the razor in hand, Jiang Hai left, Jiang Yisheng shut the door, breathing a sigh of relief.
"Didnât you say you wouldnât worry?" Ji Mingqian stepped over, pulling him over, "You havenât been caught yet, but youâre already like this. If you get caught, youâll be sure to run."
Jiang Yisheng shot him a cold glare, "My dadâs not my mom; heâs hard to fool."
In front of his father, he always felt somewhat exposed.
"Things will work themselves out when they get there. Donât scare yourself." Ji Mingqian glanced at the clock on the wall, his eyes twinkling, "What about going for a walk?"
"Going out this late?" Jiang Yisheng was taken aback.
"Itâs only ten, how is it late?" Ji Mingqian looked down at him, his lips curving in a sly smile, "Iâll take you to the beach, wanna go?"
To the beach?
Jiang Yisheng froze for a few seconds, then smiled warmly, "Letâs go."
Ji Mingqian smirked, they changed their clothes and quietly left.
...
The wind picked up, and the number of people on the street gradually decreased.
In the silent outskirts, the motorcycle engine roared wildly.
Jiang Yisheng sat at the back, the cool wind blowing against him, carrying small raindrops.
"Itâs raining." he said softly.
The wind was too strong, Ji Mingqian didnât hear him, raising his voice, "Asheng, do you remember the time I took you on a motorcycle to buy beer and we got attacked on the road?"
