Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wu Mei was shocked and startled.

At that moment, a cold light shot out from Ye Xunhuan’s eyes, as dark and bright as diamonds. His body leaned forward sharply, and his right hand extended like lightning, fingers gripping like steel claws, directly clasping onto Wu Mei’s wrist.

So fast!

Wu Mei instinctively wanted to pull the trigger, but it was already too late.

Ye Xunhuan’s fingers suddenly exerted force, twisting hard, and in pain, Wu Mei’s right hand holding the gun relaxed, and she released the pistol.

And just at that moment, Ye Xunhuan’s left hand quickly reached out and snatched the pistol.

"Didn’t your instructor ever tell you, when pointing a gun at someone, never get distracted, never be careless?" Ye Xunhuan said, turning the gun in his left hand, pointing the dark and cold muzzle directly at Wu Mei.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye, so swiftly that Wu Mei had no chance to react.

Ye Xunhuan had always detested having guns pointed at him, as it made him feel as though his life was not under his own control!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t mind having a chat with Wu Mei.

But unfortunately, this woman had pointed a gun at him, prompting Ye Xunhuan to disarm her without any hesitation.

Gazing at the dark and cold muzzle so close at hand, Wu Mei immediately felt the threat of death looming over her, but she didn’t lose her temper. Instead, she became exceptionally calm, looking Ye Xunhuan dead in the eyes and said, "Who exactly are you?"

"Me?" Ye Xunhuan chuckled lightly, picked up the teacup in front of him, and took a gentle sip: "I’m just a chivalrous hero, though I didn’t expect to encounter a security bureau beauty who can’t tell good from bad!"

"You..."

"Don’t move!" Ye Xunhuan interrupted Wu Mei, "Otherwise, if the gun in my hand goes off accidentally, don’t blame me!"

"Take out the dagger hidden in your sleeve!"

Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wu Mei’s complexion changed slightly!

"You’d better listen to me; you have no power to resist me here. It would be very easy for me to kill you," Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "So don’t even think about making any futile struggles!"

Wu Mei huffed coldly and took out the dagger concealed in her sleeve, placing it on the table.

"And the sleeve sword on your body, take that out too."

"Who... who exactly are you?" Wu Mei finally couldn’t maintain her composure any longer.

"First take out everything you have on you, then we’ll talk."

Wu Mei bit her lip and ultimately took out the sleeve sword as well.

Seeing this, a look of satisfaction appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face.

"Alright, I’ve taken everything out, now shouldn’t you tell me who you are?" Wu Mei pressed firmly, "What do you mean by killing Ding Wanqiu and framing Mu Tiange? What exactly are you trying to do?"

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Ye Xunhuan is a master, an absolute master, and Wu Mei was more clear about this than anyone else. The speed at which he disarmed her was so quick she had no power to fight back, and the way Ye Xunhuan conducted himself, she knew he must have killed many people.

And being part of the National Security Agency herself, she felt no pressure, her face calm and composed.

"It’s not important who I am, and you don’t need to worry about what I might do," Ye Xunhuan said softly, "That is, as long as your National Security Agency people are smart enough not to provoke me."

"As for Ding Wanqiu, he did what he shouldn’t have done. I don’t wrong Mu Tiange in this respect, and I don’t have the time to wrong him either."

"You might not believe it, but you can investigate," Ye Xunhuan continued calmly. "After all, I haven’t killed those around Ding Wanqiu for no reason, have I? Why don’t you go ask and find out for yourself?"

Wu Mei’s expression changed unpredictably. Although Ye Xunhuan had spoken, it was as if he had said nothing, leaving everything to her own investigation.

"Alright, I don’t have time to play with you here," Ye Xunhuan exhaled a breath of stale air, "Don’t follow me, and don’t try to catch me, or you’ll bear the consequences!"

At the sound of his voice, Ye Xunhuan’s right hand shook slightly, and a "clang clang" noise ensued as the handgun turned into a pile of parts and fell to the floor.

Upon seeing this, Wu Mei’s eyes widened in disbelief, watching the scene in front of her. Disassembling a gun with one hand, and in no more than three seconds at that.

Even if she could disassemble a gun with one hand, she couldn’t do it in three seconds. Even among the people in the National Security Agency, there were probably no more than a handful who could achieve this. Who exactly was this guy?

At that moment, Ye Xunhuan was already standing up, ready to leave.

"Stop right there!"

As she spoke, Wu Mei immediately grabbed the sleeve dagger from the table. With a flick, a sharp blade about thirty centimeters long sprang out, pointing directly at Ye Xunhuan.

It was at this moment that Ye Xunhuan turned swiftly, his right hand sweeping out, and a flash of cold light streaked through the air.

"Clang!"

A crisp sound rang out, followed by the sight of Wu Mei’s sleeve dagger breaking into two pieces.

"This is a warning. Next time, don’t point anything dangerous at me, or it won’t just be your sleeve dagger that’s broken, and not just your gun that’s disassembled!"

Looking at the sleeve dagger in her hand, now inexplicably severed, Wu Mei felt a torrent of shock inside. Who on earth was he, and what had he used just now to slice her sleeve dagger so effortlessly, without her even seeing it?

She had only seen a streak of white light, flashing by like lightning.

While Wu Mei was still dazed by what had happened, Ye Xunhuan had already appeared in front of her. He jauntily flicked her chin with his right hand, as if he were a flirtatious rogue, "You have a nice name, I like it!"

With that flick from Ye Xunhuan, Wu Mei immediately snapped back to reality, "You..."

"Don’t move rashly, or my hand might misbehave. If I were to damage your fair complexion, wouldn’t that be a waste of natural beauty?" Ye Xunhuan said lightly.

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Wu Mei dared not move anymore.

A woman, no matter who she is, cares about her appearance, and Wu Mei of the National Security Agency, known as the Dominant Beauty, was no exception.

Now Ye Xunhuan was standing right in front of her, and with his lightning-fast moves at such close range, trying to do anything would simply be asking for trouble.

"Ye Xunhuan, do you really think you can just walk out of here?" Wu Mei glowered at Ye Xunhuan, her anger evident.

"If I wanted to leave, who do you think could stop me?" Ye Xunhuan, still toying with Wu Mei’s chin, spoke with utter disdain, "You, or the other wastes from the National Security Agency?"
