13 – Is Tangtang hiding something from him?
Beside the black Bentley, Ji Hanyuan stood tall and slender in black attire, his aura akin to an ancient emperor—stern, domineering, and imposing enough to send chills down one’s spine with just a glance.
At that moment, he glanced briefly at Diao Diao before lowering his gaze to toy with the black jade thumb ring on his thumb, his voice icy cold as he spoke.
“Give me a reason.”
Instantly, Fei Fei felt his insides tremble with fear.
Though he was simple-minded, he understood the unspoken implication behind Fourth Master Ji’s words!
That was, if they didn’t give him a reasonable explanation today… they probably wouldn’t be able to walk away unscathed!
In fact, they might very well lose their lives right here!
After all, the fate of those men in black last night… was still vivid in his memory, and the mere thought made his heart race with fear.
This Fourth Master Ji was absolutely top-tier in skill, even comparable to the Cold-Faced Asura from the underworld!
So, without their boss present, a direct confrontation would surely mean death for him and Diao Diao!
Thus, Fei Fei “followed his heart” and tugged at Diao Diao’s clothes, leaning in to whisper behind her, “Diao, let’s just apologize, admit our mistake, and make a run for it!”
But Diao Diao turned and glared at him fiercely. “You spineless coward! What has our boss always taught us through words and actions? Don’t back down when trouble comes! Just go for it! What’s there to be afraid of?!”
After harshly scolding him, Diao Diao made a stylish turn, flirtatiously flipping her purple long hair, and strode toward Ji Hanyuan and Zhao Gang with long, confident steps, almost as if she were walking a catwalk.
Then, stopping about a meter away, she suddenly flashed an ingratiating smile.
“Well, Fourth Master Ji, and this big brother here, hehehe.” Diao Diao grinned ingratiatingly and brightly, excitedly saying, “This little lady is here to discuss a collaboration with you.”
Zhao Gang’s mouth twitched at the beauty mark near his lips, and he instinctively glanced at Ji Hanyuan’s expression.
Clearly, his face was dark, and he had already lost his patience.
So, Zhao Gang immediately asked sternly, “What collaboration?!”
Diao Diao flashed another ingratiating smile, flattering, “To team up and take down the Cold-Faced Asura, and overthrow his Hanguang Pavilion!”
Instantly, the air froze.
A cold breeze swept by, making Zhao Gang shiver before he snapped back to reality and stiffly turned to look at Ji Hanyuan.
Ji Hanyuan remained with his head lowered, toying with the black jade thumb ring.
Suddenly, he let out a cold, disdainful snort.
“Did your alliance leader send you here?”
At this question, Diao Diao immediately frowned.
What was going on?
Their alliance leader was right in his car!
Fei Fei, with his blurry vision, hadn’t seen her and kept insisting that the boss wasn’t here and not to cause trouble, but she had seen it clearly earlier—it was this Fourth Master Ji who had carried their boss into the car!
That was why she dared to be so bold as to block the car!
With the boss here, even if she caused a huge mess, the boss would clean it up for her!
Besides… the boss had already charmed Fourth Master Ji so much that he’d been holding her in his arms almost the entire time, clearly having him completely bewitched.
So why would Fourth Master Ji ask such a question?
Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Diao Diao.
Right! She and Fei Fei were both here, so why hadn’t the boss come out of the car yet??
Did she not love them anymore?
Refusing to believe it, Diao Diao strode directly to the other side of the back seat, knocked on the window, and flashed her signature smirk.
“Hey, beautiful, want to come out and chat?”
This was exactly the tone she usually used when talking to her boss.
She didn’t believe their boss would remain indifferent.
The next second, the car window slowly rolled down.
What was revealed was an exquisitely beautiful face.
But the beauty inside the car opened her large, watery eyes, looking at her innocently, even blinking, her entire face clearly displaying the words “alert” and “unfamiliar.”
In an instant, Diao Diao’s heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
What was going on with their boss?
At the same time, Diao Diao felt a chill creeping up her spine, and her scalp began to tingle.
Even her internal organs seemed to be swept by a cold, eerie wind.
All because… Fourth Master Ji was looking at her… and had already stirred with killing intent.
Diao Diao took a deep breath, still pretending as if nothing had happened, and smiled brightly at her boss, saying, “Indeed, she’s a great beauty, hehehe.”
“I’ve had my fill of the view, enough, enough.”
Then, acting as if nothing was wrong, she slowly walked toward Fei Fei, suddenly flashing an extremely eerie smile.
Seeing Diao Diao’s smile, Fei Fei immediately felt his feet go numb.
Then, he heard Diao Diao say.
“Fei Fei, one, two, three…”
“Run!”
In an instant, the two of them jumped into the car with perfect tacit understanding
Little did she know, it was actually that damned Fourth Master Ji who had kidnapped their boss, and who knows what he did to her, causing their boss to transform directly from a demoness into an innocent little girl!
And to make matters worse, she herself had foolishly and recklessly provoked Fourth Master Ji!
And Fourth Master Ji was notoriously cold-blooded, ruthless, and iron-fisted. If he later blamed their boss for this…
Instantly, countless possibilities flashed through Diao Diao’s mind.
Whips… handcuffs… cages… chains…
Hiss…
The once-feared Ruthless Demoness of the underworld had actually fallen to such a state…
Should she… really have run away so cowardly?
Should she go back and fight to the death to rescue her boss?
But she really didn’t want to die, wuwu…
Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck Diao Diao.
Could there be another, even better possibility?
What if Fourth Master Ji had no idea that their boss was actually the leader of the Star-Moon Alliance, the Ruthless Demoness?
What if he had taken their boss away simply because he was captivated by her beauty?
If so, their boss might not be in immediate danger, and Diao Diao could run away with a clear conscience and continue living her carefree life?
