Chapter 936 Is Miss Xiao bringing good fortune to the Ye family?
"Honey, how did Xiao Ran and Young Master Ye's affair get exposed and become such a big fuss?"
Suddenly, Lu Wanqing spoke up and asked.
"This……"
Ji Xiuhan hadn't paid much attention before, but after hearing Lu Wanqing's words, his heart skipped a beat. Yes, even if the two had special identities, it was just a young couple in love, going on a date. How could it become the talk of the whole world, like some earth-shattering event?
There's definitely something fishy going on here; someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Who is this person? Why is this being hyped up? What is their purpose?
Could it be that Xiao Ran orchestrated this all by himself? But does Xiao Ran have that much power?
Even if Ji Xiuhan was intelligent and wise, he would never have imagined that a mysterious man had intervened and turned Ye Haitao into a eunuch.
After much thought, he concluded that the most likely explanation was that Xiao Ran or the Xiao family were behind it all.
Just as he was pondering to himself, Lu Wanqing's voice rang out again: "What a spoilsport! Xiao Ran just had a date with Young Master Ye, such a joyous occasion, how come the head of the Ye family is sick?"
"Husband, do you think it's possible that the head of the Ye family has a hidden illness and is nearing his end, so he wants Xiao Ran to marry into the Ye family as soon as possible to bring him good luck?"
"To bring good luck to Ye Boxiong?"
Lu Wanqing's sudden remark startled Ji Xiuhan.
But the next second, his mind cleared up. This matter had become such a big deal, it must be Xiao Ran who was behind it.
Clearly, Ye Boxiong did not want Xiao Ran to marry into the Ye family, which is why Xiao Ran used such despicable means, making Ye Boxiong fall ill with anger.
Ye Boxiong didn't have any hidden illness. When the two met last time, Ye Boxiong was in very good health. He realized that Xiao Ran was not simple. He didn't want his son to be sidelined by Xiao Ran in the future, and he didn't want the entire Ye family to fall into Xiao Ran's hands.
Ji Xiuhan is Ji Xiuhan after all, and he quickly figured out most of it.
The only thing I didn't expect was that there was a mysterious man behind Xiao Ran who turned Ye Haitao into a eunuch.
That man is the biggest variable.
At this moment, Lu Wanqing explained again, afraid that Ji Xiuhan would not understand: "Yes, it's called 'chongxi' (marrying for good luck)! Haven't you heard of 'chongxi'? In our rural area, this kind of thing happens a lot."
For example, if parents are sick, or if the person themselves is in poor health, especially a man, he will try to find a woman to marry as soon as possible, hoping to dispel the bad luck in the house and drive away the illness from the sick person.
Marriage is a major life event and a joyous occasion, so this is called "counteracting bad luck"!
"You mean, the Ye family wants to marry Xiao Ran to bring good luck to the Ye family head?"
Ji Xiuhan almost burst out laughing.
“That’s definitely true!” Lu Wanqing said with certainty. “The more prestigious the family or clan, the more superstitious they are, and the more tragic their daughters’ fates become. Look at Xiao Ran, who looks like a fairy, yet she’s being used as a tool for a marriage of convenience to ward off bad luck. It’s so pitiful!”
As she spoke, she expressed her feelings for Xiao Ran.
"Alright, honey, stop thinking about them and let's enjoy our honeymoon!"
Ji Xiuhan interrupted Lu Wanqing.
Now that ten days of the fifteen-day trip have passed without incident and no suspicious individuals have been discovered, Ji Xiuhan really wants to relax a bit.
Little did he know that someone was secretly watching them from afar, plotting an even more terrifying and deadly attack to kill them in one fell swoop.
Meanwhile, on another island in the Maldives, in a luxurious private room, a middle-aged man wearing glasses looked at his phone and almost jumped up.
This man looked refined, but his back was slightly hunched, unlike most people who were upright.
"Has something happened to the head of the family? Has he fallen ill?"
"Ye Haitao and Xiao Ran openly dated, and it even made the front page headlines, making the whole world know about it?"
"Is someone secretly sabotaging this, targeting the Ye family?"
"Could it be Xiao Ran? Does she really have such powerful methods?"
"Could it be the man behind Xiao Ran? If it is, that's even more terrifying. Just who is he?"
"I've only been out for a little over ten days, how come so many things have happened? That bastard Park Moon-liang, can't he help at all?"
The man quickly scrolled through the messages on his phone, soon realizing it was a huge conspiracy, and muttered to himself.
This person was none other than Niu Guangming, Ye Boxiong's most trusted "Old Niu," who was also once a notorious "assassin camel" in the assassin world.
However, his appearance has changed drastically. He is no longer the old, ugly man with wrinkles. Even his most distinctive hunchback is almost unrecognizable.
Ye Boxiong instructed him to take action against Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing, providing him with 500 million yuan for business operations. To prevent his whereabouts from being discovered by Ji Xiuhan and the others, Lao Niu completely changed his appearance, transforming into his current shrewd and refined demeanor with gold-rimmed glasses.
In the past few days, he has found out all the details about Ji Xiuhan, including how many bodyguards Ji Xiuhan brought, which ones are capable fighters, Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing's daily routines, and all their travel plans.
In his eyes, Ji Xiuhan was no longer an ordinary young man, but an extremely terrifying opponent.
Since Ye Boxiong ordered him to kill Ji Xiuhan, he had to complete the mission.
He was deeply indebted to Ye Boxiong throughout his life and served Ye Boxiong wholeheartedly. Moreover, he never failed to do anything Ye Boxiong asked him to do.
So this time, he must kill Ji Xiuhan.
However, the previous assassination attempts had shown him how formidable Ji Xiuhan was, so he decided to calm down and invited one of the top twenty assassins in the world, determined to kill Ji Xiuhan in one blow.
At the same time, he also created the illusion for Ji Xiuhan that he had "completely given up after failing in the previous assassination attempts."
"Should I wait until the last two days before taking action?"
"The patriarch must have been waiting for news from me all this time. What he wants most right now is for me to be by his side!"
"We don't even know the patriarch's condition, or if something terrible might have happened to him?"
Niu Guangming was filled with anxiety.
If he weren't afraid of revealing his whereabouts, he would have contacted the Ye family immediately to get to the bottom of things.
But before eliminating Ji Xiuhan, you absolutely cannot contact anyone from the past. If Ji Xiuhan discovers this, he can quickly find his phone number, pinpoint his location in the Maldives, and make Ji Xiuhan more vigilant, or even leave in advance.
That would ruin all his plans.
Ye Boxiong was the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Ji Xiuhan, and this fact could not be kept from Ji Xiuhan at all.
Since the conflict in Ningcheng, when Ji Xiuhan seized over one trillion yuan of Feilong Group's assets, the Ye family and Ji Xiuhan have been locked in a life-or-death struggle.
As for that old ox, Ji Xiuhan must have already thoroughly investigated his background and was on high alert.
This is why Niu Guangming changed his phone, cut off all old contacts, and completely "transformed" himself into another person.
This is precisely what makes him so formidable as a veteran assassin.
"If all else fails, we'll act two days earlier, eliminate Ji Xiuhan and Lu Wanqing, and return to the capital as soon as possible!"
Finally, Niu Guangming gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
