Chapter 386: Chapter 386: All Are Bait_1

The fourth brother’s eyes were glued to Ye Xiaoning’s curvaceous body, muttering under his breath as he gulped down saliva several times, feeling parched and fidgety, rubbing his fingers together and said through gritted teeth, “Boss, doing nothing is a darn waste, how about we sample this chick, see if she’s fiery or tender?”

“Wuu~” Hearing this, Ye Xiaoning instantly glared with fierce light in her eyes.

“Fourth, is that all you’ve got?”

The hunk with the gold chain lifted his leg and kicked him, chastising him, “This isn’t about taking care for ourselves; we have patrons upstairs. If anything goes even a little awry and the patrons are unsatisfied, our lives are as good as gone. Better wait for the guest of honor to arrive before making a mess, got it? Just keep watch now, understand?”

“Got it.” The fourth brother was displeased but didn’t dare to disobey.

Seeing the fourth brother obediently nodding, the hunk with the gold chain did not pursue the matter further. He casually pinched out his cigarette and tossed it into the corner, unapologetically saying, “This Miss Ye is already quite pretty, but I’ve heard her boss is an incomparable beauty, a heartbreaker of the highest grade. The brothers haven’t touched a woman in years, must be bursting at the seams by now. Once that Miss Xu arrives, we’ll welcome her properly, even if we die, it’d be worth it.”

“That’s right, to get our hands on a top-notch beauty in this lifetime, wouldn’t regret it even in front of King Yama.”

Several brawny men were indecent, wearing evil grins on their faces.

Opposite the Shengshi Hotel was a pretty decent hotel called the Weisen Yue, and on its sixth floor beside a window, a young man and an old man were standing, patiently peeking through the gap in the curtains at room 606 of the hotel across the way.

The window of room 606 wasn’t closed properly, allowing a view of the inside where Ye Xiaoning was bundled up and thrown onto the bed. The young man proudly revealed a smile as if enjoying a good show, saying, “Old Huang, your strategy to start with Ye Xiaoning went smooth.”

These two were none other than Xu Qiyin and Old Huang.

“Hehe...”

Old Huang confidently smiled and said, “Master Xu, Ye Xiaoning is just bait, insignificant; what matters is to get a hold of Xu Yixue.”

“Ye Xiaoning and Xu Yixue are very close friends; having caught her, would Xu Yixue not bite the bait?”

Xu Qiyin turned and poured himself a glass of whiskey, took a sip, and then continued, “As long as we have Xu Yixue under control, Xu Fan isn’t to be feared, what’s a Martial Arts Grandmaster to do? He will have to beg me all the same.”

“That’s true, that’s how things are. But we’d better be cautious; Zhonghai City is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Xu Fan, however, is able to thrive here. He must have some skills,” Old Huang mused.

“Indeed, we do need to be cautious.”

While Xu Qiyin said this, his expression carried a hint of amusement, clearly not taking it too seriously.

The gold-chained thug reached the door, angled his body cautiously, and grabbed the doorknob, then slowly began to turn it, with the other two by his side ready for action.

As soon as the door cracked open, there was a “bang” — the door was kicked open.

No, the entire door panel was kicked flying.

The three strong men standing behind the door were struck by the flying door panel and were sent hurtling backward.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

One crashed into a corner of the wall, another slammed into a wardrobe, and the third fell onto the floor, creating a series of thud sounds.

Because he bore the brunt of it, the gold-chained thug was hit with the greatest force and was embedded into the wardrobe by the sheer power.

“What... what just happened?”

Old Fourth, witnessing this sudden turn of events, was stunned and then his face turned pale, sensing it was very bad news.

“Boss, are you okay?” Old Fourth thought to check on the boss, but then had a thought — why not take Ye Xiaoning as a hostage to make the opponent hesitate.

At this moment, the gold-chained thug had taken a heavy hit, his internal organs were all shaken up; he only had time to cough up a mouthful of blood before slipping into unconsciousness.

The other two strong men felt as if their bodies were falling apart and with their blood and qi in turmoil, they were in extreme discomfort. All they could do was helplessly look toward the doorway.

“Damn, are you sure this is the stunning beauty who could make thousands swoon? She’s way too rough.”

Old Fourth’s mind rapidly searched for options, and he eventually abandoned all actions, focusing on self-preservation. Thus, he propped up Ye Xiaoning and held the spring knife to her neck.

The hostage—Ye Xiaoning.

“Tap, tap, tap!” Then, the footsteps grew nearer and nearer, and a slim young man nonchalantly stepped into the room.

“Wu wu~”

Upon seeing the newcomer, Ye Xiaoning immediately felt a huge relief, and her guilt vanished entirely.

If the person had been Xu Yixue, she would have been filled with lifelong regret, living a life a hundred, a thousand times more painful than death.

But the situation turned into the one possibility she most desired—Xu Fan had arrived.
