Chapter 960 This man is a leopard can't change its spots.
A few minutes later, Xiao Ran returned to the ward.
As soon as she entered the door, Ye Haixia rushed over and grabbed her arm. "Sister Xiaoran, why did it take you so long to come back?"
"What happened?"
Xiao Ran feigned nervousness.
"It's alright, my dad is perfectly fine! But some people were getting really anxious, they were almost ready to go out and look for you!"
Ye Haixia smiled and winked, glancing in Ye Haitao's direction as she spoke.
As soon as she said this, even Madam Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, you two young couple, it's like you've been separated for three autumns for a day."
No, no, it doesn't need to be a whole day. We've only been apart for a short while, and it's already like we've been separated for half a lifetime. You want to be together all the time!
"Auntie, please don't make fun of me!"
Xiao Ran lowered her head shyly and slowly walked towards Ye Haitao.
Ye Haitao looked at Xiao Ran with a gentle expression, then turned and glared fiercely at Ye Haixia, feigning anger, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, believe me, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Ye Haixia immediately patted her chest and said in a sweet voice, "Brother, I'm so scared, please don't hit me!"
A burst of laughter immediately filled the ward.
Only Ye Boxiong, lying on the bed, looked increasingly gloomy upon seeing this scene.
Suddenly, the image of Lao Niu flashed through his mind. Lao Niu was the person he trusted most, but he had never contacted him since he left.
"I wonder how Old Niu is doing now. Why hasn't he said a word since he left?"
"I hope nothing happens to him, and I hope he succeeds in getting rid of Ji Xiuhan, that major threat!"
Otherwise, with Xiao Ran as a hidden danger within and Ji Xiuhan eyeing us covetously from without, our Ye family would truly be doomed!
Thinking of Lao Niu, Ye Boxiong suddenly wanted to check the news from the Maldives, hoping to find some clues.
Even if Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing are suppressed, news of their deaths will still leak out once they are eliminated.
He reached for his phone, but found nothing.
"Dad, what do you want?"
If we were to ask who cares most about Ye Boxiong in the ward right now, it would undoubtedly be Ye Haitao.
Although he held Xiao Ran's hand tenderly on the surface, he immediately noticed Ye Boxiong's actions.
"I...I need my phone..."
Ye Boxiong looked at Ye Haitao and said weakly.
But then he caught a glimpse of Ye Haitao and Xiao Ran holding hands tightly, and he immediately snorted coldly, swallowing back the rest of his words.
"My cell phone!"
Ye Haitao knew perfectly well that Ye Boxiong disapproved of his close relationship with Xiao Ran. Without making a sound, he let go of Xiao Ran's hand and quickly handed over his phone.
He thought Ye Boxiong was going to make a phone call.
To everyone's surprise, Ye Boxiong took the phone and immediately opened the news page.
"Dad, the doctor told you not to overwork yourself. The most important thing right now is to get plenty of rest. What would you like to see? I'll find it for you!"
Ye Haitao quickly replied.
"It's nothing, I'm just flipping through things. Lying like this all the time is too stuffy and uncomfortable."
As Ye Boxiong spoke, his fingers flew across the keyboard, searching for news related to the Maldives.
But no matter how many times I scrolled through it, all I found were posts praising the beautiful scenery; there was no unusual information whatsoever.
His heart sank.
There are three days left before Ji Xiuhan leaves the Maldives. Could it be that Lao Niu's assassination attempt failed? Or has he been captured and killed?
Ye Boxiong knew that Ji Xiuhan had a formidable subordinate, who was also a member of the underworld.
Although he didn't know that the person was the infamous Killer Emperor, he understood that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.
"Dad, what are you looking for? Should I help you?"
Ye Haitao noticed Ye Boxiong's anxiety and asked softly.
"Nothing, I just wanted to see if there was any news from the Maldives."
"I'll help you investigate!"
Ye Haitao immediately picked up his phone and started searching.
Ye Boxiong's words made Xiao Ran's heart skip a beat.
She instantly realized that Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing were going to the Maldives, and she wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Lu Wanqing. Ye Boxiong also had the same idea and wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Ji Xiuhan.
Xiao Ran also quietly took out his phone and started searching for news about the Maldives.
In fact, these days she checks related news countless times a day, and she is well aware of any news, no matter how small.
She had already seen the news about the drowning incident this afternoon, and even saved a screenshot of the news report.
"It seems that I'm not the only one who wants them dead; Ye Boxiong is too!"
I wonder if it was Ye Boxiong's men or that bastard's men who made the move this afternoon?
That bastard definitely didn't tell me the truth. Ye Boxiong's men were definitely involved in those assassination attempts!
Xiao Ran, who already harbored resentment towards that man, felt a mix of emotions.
However, she didn't make a fuss. Instead, she secretly sent Ye Haixia a text message containing the drowning news she had seen that afternoon.
Ye Haixia had already overheard Ye Boxiong's request to investigate news about the Maldives, and she was actively searching for it on her phone, eager to please her father and mend the rift between them.
Upon seeing the text message from Xiao Ran, her eyes lit up. She immediately ran to Ye Boxiong's bedside, holding her phone, and excitedly exclaimed, "Dad! Dad! Look! I have news! Two people died at the diving spot this afternoon!"
Her shout made Ye Boxiong's heart leap into his throat. "Two people died, were they a man or a woman?"
Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing are a man and a woman.
"They were two men! And they both looked quite strong!"
"Dad, do you know them?"
As Ye Haixia spoke, she handed the pictures on her phone to Ye Boxiong.
Ye Boxiong's face fell after just one glance. He didn't recognize either of them; they were neither Ji Xiuhan nor Lu Wanqing, nor Lao Niu.
A wave of immense disappointment washed over him, and he waved his hand impatiently: "How would I know him! Take your phone away!"
Now, Ye Boxiong finds his daughter utterly displeasing.
"Okay, Dad..."
Ye Haixia pouted, feeling wronged, and silently stepped aside.
"Even Ye Boxiong's assassination attempt failed, and that bastard Ji Xiuhan can't even be dealt with by professional assassins?"
Xiao Ran felt increasingly uneasy.
As night deepened, Lu Wanqing stayed alone in the next room.
This room is over 30 square meters and contains a large double bed.
These days she had long since gotten used to sleeping in the same bed with Ji Xiuhan. Now she was lying in bed alone, scrolling through her phone while waiting silently.
She knew in her heart that Wu Jiajun was just joking. Even if the two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time and were very close, they couldn't possibly chat all night. Ji Xiuhan would definitely come back to keep her company.
But as the clock struck ten and slowly approached eleven, Ji Xiuhan still did not appear.
Lu Wanqing's heart began to race.
An absurd and terrifying thought popped into his head uncontrollably: Could it be that the middle-aged man really had some kind of shady relationship with Ji Xiuhan? Did he send him away just to have a private "date" with Ji Xiuhan?
A jumble of images flashed through her mind, instantly washing away any gratitude and goodwill she had felt towards Ji Xiuhan.
"A leopard can't change its spots! This scoundrel is hopeless!"
Lu Wanqing turned off her phone, pulled the covers over her head, and went to sleep in a huff.
On the other side, Wu Jiajun looked at Ji Xiuhan beside him and asked with a half-smile, "You really don't plan to go back to be with your wife?"
"Hey, what's the point of an old married couple being together all the time!"
It's more important for me to learn some real skills from you!
I want to see for myself the skills of you top assassins.
Ji Xiuhan proudly raised his chin, looking as if he were a great man who could make women submit to him.
