After Ye Xunhuan and the others had all dispersed, the person hiding in a tree by the side of the road leapt down, floating down like a ghost without making the slightest sound!

Under the illumination of the streetlight, it was clear to see that this was a woman.

The woman was dressed in a black, tight-fitting outfit that outlined her curvaceous figure with sharp perfection, and her ink-like long hair was casually draped over her shoulders!

Just by her figure alone, she was definitely a beauty that could send a man’s hormones surging; as for her face, that remained unknown!

The woman was wearing a gray mask, completely covering half of her face and rendering her features unrecognizable!

But her almond-shaped eyes were extraordinarily bright, though within those star-like eyes was a chilling glare that caused one’s heart to tremble!

The woman stood on the ground, her fists clenched tightly, her gloomy gaze fixated on the direction in which Ye Xunhuan and the others had disappeared!

"Marshal, consider yourself lucky this time, but wait for me," the woman spoke, "I will make you pay a heavy price!"

As her words fell, an overwhelming murderous intent slowly emanated from the woman, instantly enveloping the surroundings and filling the air with a sharp aura of slaughter!

If Tian Sha were still here, he would definitely recognize this woman as his sister!

After Ye Xunhuan had subdued Tian Sha, Tian Sha’s sister knew they had been defeated today.

Initially, she had thought that if Ye Xunhuan didn’t kill Tian Sha, she would rescue him in an ambush, but who would have expected Ye Xunhuan to let Song Yan and Dragon Ancestor Bodhi escort Tian Sha, forcing her to abandon that plan!

Soon after, the woman didn’t linger and turned around to leave the place.

Ye Xunhuan and the others had no idea that a woman had appeared after they left; at the moment, he was preparing to return to the villa with Qiu Ruoxi!

The atmosphere inside the carriage was somewhat oppressive, with neither Qiu Ruoxi nor Ye Xunhuan speaking a word.

Qiu Ruoxi was sitting in the passenger seat, staring intently at Ye Xunhuan who was within arm’s reach.

She, Qiu Ruoxi, was no fool; right now, she could tell that the fire at the Huangtu Corporation and Ye Xunhuan were indelibly linked.

The arson was likely to lure Ye Xunhuan out, then restrain him while attacking herself, thus seeking to take Ye Xunhuan down!

After an indefinite amount of time passed, Qiu Ruoxi suddenly broke the silence, "Did you kill Tian Sha’s parents?"

Tian Sha had said it before; Ye Xunhuan had killed his parents, and Tian Sha was seeking revenge!

Ye Xunhuan didn’t deny it but nodded in confirmation, "Yes, I killed his parents. Unfortunately, he managed to escape back then!"

Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s admission, Qiu Ruoxi did not ask any further, although she was curious as to why Ye Xunhuan had killed Tian Sha’s parents.

But she presumed Ye Xunhuan wouldn’t have killed Tian Sha’s parents for no reason at all, would he?

Ye Xunhuan had expected that Qiu Ruoxi would continue to ask questions, but when she remained silent for a long time, he couldn’t help but speak, "Aren’t you going to ask me why?"

"When you feel like telling me, you’ll tell me on your own," Qiu Ruoxi said indifferently.

Although the succession of events that had happened today weighed heavily on her heart, she also knew what could be asked and what should not be inquired into.

"Thank you!"

"It’s nothing," Qiu Ruoxi shook her head and asked, "You’ve known Dragon Ancestor Bodhi for a long time?"

"For some years now!"

"Has she come to have you marry her?"

Startled by Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan instinctively slammed on the brakes, his eyes wide in disbelief, "You... you know?"

Due to Ye Xunhuan’s abrupt braking, Qiu Ruoxi’s body lurched forward, but fortunately, she was wearing her seat belt and wasn’t hurt.

"She told me!"

"Wife, I swear, there’s really nothing between me and her, that woman is just crazy!" Ye Xunhuan hurriedly explained, "All I did was take a small item from her, who knew it’d be some damn token of love, whosoever takes it must marry her, how unjust is that for me?"

As he spoke, a look of injustice slowly appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s face.

At this moment, Ye Xunhuan just wanted to sing aloud: I’m so wronged...

"Don’t you feel proud?" Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan and said, "After all, she is a great beauty. Isn’t it something to be proud and happy about, having someone like her chase after you?"

"Proud my ass!" Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but curse, "You don’t know who she is, this woman is a total lunatic, marrying her would be like bringing home an ancestor, and as you’ve probably seen, she’s pretty good with her hands. If things don’t go her way, it’s going to be a beating..."

Having said that, Ye Xunhuan gave Qiu Ruoxi a cheeky smile, "If you, my wife, were always chasing after me, I would certainly be exceedingly proud..."

Even though she knew Ye Xunhuan was often flippant, Qiu Ruoxi’s heart still fluttered with joy upon hearing his words, feeling as sweet as if she had tasted honey, and coyly rolled her eyes, "I can’t beat you up, can I?"

"How could you not!" Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "It’s just that you’re too soft-hearted to do it, otherwise, I would already be covered in bruises!"

"Smooth talker!"

"Wife, what exactly did she tell you?"

"Not much!" Qiu Ruoxi spoke softly, "She seemed very cautious around you, just like back in Milan, no one dared to say an extra word to me. Ye Xunhuan, who are you really, what is the Marshal, and what is the Taiji Seal?"

Tian Sha was seeking revenge, and her mother-in-law was also out for vengeance, but upon hearing the three words ’Taiji Seal,’ everyone was taken aback, especially her mother-in-law, whose eyes were filled with greedy possessiveness!

And Tian Sha had said, capturing him would secure the Taiji Seal!

What exactly is the Taiji Seal?

Ye Xunhuan didn’t answer right away but looked down at the crescent-shaped jade pendent Qiu Ruoxi wore on her chest and took a deep breath before saying, "Wife, what do you plan to do about the fire at Huangtu Corporation?"

Seeing Ye Xunhuan changing the subject, Qiu Ruoxi sighed softly in her heart; he still didn’t want to tell her.

Although Qiu Ruoxi was very curious, she knew that since Ye Xunhuan had veered away from the topic, he wouldn’t tell her now.

Without waiting for Qiu Ruoxi to speak, Ye Xunhuan continued, "Wife, if you don’t know what to do, I actually have a good idea..."

"What idea?"

"Just say Huangtu Corporation is investing in a big movie, and tonight they were shooting a film scene. I’ll have Wang Shengli and others testify for us..." Ye Xunhuan immediately said, "And aren’t you always pushing Huangtu Corporation to diversify? I think it’s an opportunity to venture into the film industry, plus we won’t need to spend so much on advertising, what do you think?"

Qiu Ruoxi looked at Ye Xunhuan in front of her as if she had only met him that day.

Her husband wasn’t devoid of business acumen after all!

"Are you sure this isn’t just your scheme to sleep with movie stars?"
