Previously, Wei Zixu told Ye Xunhuan that the Yan family had connections with the Protector of the Nation, making Ye Xunhuan hesitate whether to kill Yan Qingdi. At the same time, he was weighing the pros and cons in his heart.
Until Yan Qingdi appeared, Ye Xunhuan hadn't yet decided how to deal with him.
But upon seeing Yan Qingdi and hearing the words he spoke, Ye Xunhuan's heart stirred with murderous intent.
If Yan Qingdi were to live, he would always be a scourge!
Moreover, Yan Qingdi somehow knew about Frank and others and managed to subdue them as well.
If this kind of person is allowed to remain, who knows what kind of trouble might arise!
So Ye Xunhuan decided Yan Qingdi must die.
Even if the Yan family knew, even if the Protector appeared, Ye Xunhuan dared to argue with them, even not fearing a battle!
Though Yan Qingdi had also been a soldier, the sight before him was like a hellish nightmare, causing his legs to weaken at this moment, completely overtaken by fear in his heart, leaving him without the courage to even call for help.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan raised his steps, walking towards Yan Qingdi.
Perhaps it was due to killing, that Ye Xunhuan's originally dull eyes were slowly becoming a bit crimson.
Watching Ye Xunhuan step towards him, Yan Qingdi felt as though the death knell of hell was ringing for him, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably at this moment.
Qiu Ruoxi watched Ye Xunhuan's back, transforming from initial fear to indifference, yet looking at Ye Xunhuan's back, her heart seemed to be clenched in an instant, exuding painful longing!
At this moment, Ye Xunhuan's silhouette appeared immensely desolate, akin to a lone cactus in the desert, surrounded only by endless sand and crazy winds.
Although he could bask in the sunshine, he couldn't receive the warmth he deserved, stirring feelings of pity!
What was his past like exactly?
Why was his silhouette so desolate, bleak, and lonely, as if it seemed out of place with this world?
At this moment, curiosity ignited within Qiu Ruoxi once again. She desperately wanted to ask Ye Xunhuan, what was your past like, to end up this way?
Whenever she recalled the carefree, unconcerned manner Ye Xunhuan displayed back then, Qiu Ruoxi's heart would ache uncontrollably.
How much sadness and worry did he hide beneath that facade of happiness and gaiety? How much pain did he endure in the darkness?
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi wanted to understand Ye Xunhuan's smile, comprehend his sorrow, and grasp everything about him…
The gloomy footsteps echoed non-stop in the villa, sounding so piercing.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan getting closer and closer, Yan Qingdi's body began to shake uncontrollably, with the amplitude growing larger, as if he were trembling.
At this moment, overwhelmed with fear in his heart, Yan Qingdi completely forgot he still held a hostage. He simply stood there, unmoving, not making a single sound.
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan finally reached Yan Qingdi.
After reaching Yan Qingdi, Ye Xunhuan wasted no words, swinging his right leg fiercely towards Yan Qingdi!
The shadow of a leg flashed by, followed by Yan Qingdi being blown back, like a kite with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the ground.
As he hit the ground, a massive shock ran through Yan Qingdi's entire body, instinctively emitting a howl from his mouth.
Then, Ye Xunhuan raised his steps again, walking towards Yan Qingdi, just as leisurely as before.
It seemed that in Ye Xunhuan's eyes, Yan Qingdi was nothing but an ant, with no chance of turning the tables before him.
In truth, that was indeed the case.
Though there are those who could turn the tables before Ye Xunhuan, a Marshal.
There are, but among these people, Yan Qingdi is absolutely not included.
Yan Qingdi on the ground, upon seeing Ye Xunhuan approaching again, instinctively retreated on the ground, with fear overwhelming his face.
"No... don't kill me, don't kill me..."
At this moment, Yan Qingdi's voice was filled with an unprecedented tremor.
"Yan Qingdi, if you had left Jiangzhou City, you could truly live well, for I wouldn't specifically go to Beijing's Yan family to kill you. But you insisted on seeking death, so how could I possibly let you go?" Ye Xunhuan said lightly.
As Ye Xunhuan's words sounded in his ears, regret filled Yan Qingdi's heart.
He regretted why he had provoked this demon.
If he returned to Beijing, even if faced with ridicule, jabs, or never got reused within the Yan family.
But at least he would be alive, still the eldest son of the Yan family, living a life that countless people envied.
But alas, in this world, there's no "if," nor is there any remedy for regret.
What's done demands a price!
And this price is death!
"However, being able to find Frank and others, subduing them, indeed made me see you in a new light." Ye Xunhuan spoke slowly as he walked towards Yan Qingdi: "If I'm not mistaken, someone must be helping you behind the scenes, and this person is likely my enemy."
That's also why Ye Xunhuan hadn't immediately killed Yan Qingdi; he wanted to know who was aiding Yan Qingdi.
Yan Qingdi didn't speak, instead staring at Ye Xunhuan fearfully.
"Tell me what you know..."
"If I speak, will you spare me?" Yan Qingdi asked, suppressing the terror in his heart.
"If you speak, you'll have a complete corpse. If not, you'll be a headless body." Ye Xunhuan said casually: "You choose!"
Upon hearing these words, Yan Qingdi's pupils suddenly contracted: "You..."
"Choose!" Ye Xunhuan suddenly commanded sternly.
"Ye Xunhuan, you... you can't kill me! If you kill me, you'll never know who's behind it, and the Yan family won't let you go..."
"You're overthinking it; the only ones wanting my death now are those lurking in the night!" Ye Xunhuan responded indifferently: "I asked you just to confirm!"
"And do you really think I'd fear your Yan family?" Ye Xunhuan scoffed: "The Yan family doesn't bother me, but provoke me, and no matter how big a backer you have, I'll tear you apart!"
With Ye Xunhuan's arrogant words sounding in his ears, Yan Qingdi trembled strongly.
"Alright, since you won't talk, I'll send you on your way!"
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan was about to act.
Just then, a sudden voice rang out: "Ye Xunhuan, stop!"
