Chapter 819
Chapter 819: Untitled
Just as everybody thought that Europe would descend into chaos and hence observe developments, the situation surprisingly calmed down. Apart from Xu Mingyang, all the other officials outed in the video were killed or had mysteriously disappeared. The murdered officials were bestowed the highest honor and had grand funerals arranged for them. These murdered officials, however, were quickly replaced and the incident was quelled.
This did not seem like Xunuo’s modus operandi.
This was vastly different from what Ye Ningyuan had predicted. Given Xunuo’s character, she would have kicked up another upheaval and the situation should not have calmed down this quickly. It seemed that she had concerns and quickly put an end to the incident.
Sacrificing Michael and exposing them all to the point of also exposing the collective interests of many by somebody in the shadows...
To influential politicians, it’s a first.
The other party never revealed themselves nor left any traces. While they wanted to exact revenge, they did not know who they ought to exact their revenge on.
Ye Ningyuan was not quite able to grasp the situation, and despite him making many speculations, he was unable to reach the heart of the issue. Xunuo was no kind person and definitely not one who would stop until she had met her goals.
Green Dragon received a tip-off on a deal. Somebody from the British royal family offered three hundred million pounds to the Top Terrorist Organization to look into the incident.
“Boss, do we accept it?”
“Yes, we will!” Ye Ningyuan smiled naughtily and a little coldly. “Why do you not earn when you can? It’s very interesting that the royal family is so desperate to the point they have opted for the Top Terrorist Organization. Are they so mired in by the controversy?”
When it came to huge volumes of intelligence, the Top Terrorist Organization was in the business. Ye Ningyuan exploited almost all the strengths of the Top Terrorist Organization. Simply put, he was going to exploit every opportunity that came his way.
Like standard bloodsuckers, it would have been a shame for them to pass over such a lucrative opportunity.
A season of bulk-intelligence gains was very substantial.
“Boss, surely you aren’t out to take their money again?” Green Dragon shook his head. He understood his boss’ temperament very well. Ye Ningyuan’s actions rarely made sense, and there were times Green Dragon could not quite make sense of it.
Given how scheming he was, chances were he would con their money and offer them false intelligence in return.
This, after all, was about An Xunuo.
These officials, like some people, were plain dumb. Many of Third Young Master Ye’s rivals took advantage of Younger Master Ye’s laziness and got on Ye Ningyuan’s wrong side several times. They ended up not only losing their lives but also losing the money they paid for Ye Ningyuan’s head.
One had to say that Ye Ningyuan was quite the expert at amassing wealth.
Ye Ningyuan rapped the table and smiled. “Who’s paying up?”
“Xu Mingyang.”
Ye Ningyuan frowned and coldly harrumphed as he tapped his fingers on the table. “Collect payment and give him whatever intelligence he wants.”
Green Dragon was slightly shocked and hesitated for a moment. “You mean An Xunuo?”
“Is there anybody else?”
Green Dragon looked at the young man sitting on a genuine leather sofa while rapping the tabletop lazily in shock. The young man had a smile nobody could comprehend, and it was as though he was anticipating something or making plans.
When they saw this smile of his, their heads went numb. Nobody could make out Ye Ningyuan’s thoughts.
His gentleness and affable side were all but an illusion to how scheming and domineering he actually was.
But to him, An Xunuo was definitely somebody different. Why did he sell real intelligence to Xu Mingyang? Green Dragon could not quite understand but still acknowledged and did not ask any more questions.
Ye Ningyuan walked up to the windows and opened them. The nights in London were, like his feelings, gloomy. What was he thinking at that very moment?
He actually was...
He smiled and tucked his hands behind him as he quietly stood. The refracted light created a silhouette that splayed on the deep-red carpet.
...
An Xunuo avoided a group of assassins tracking her down and snuck into a dark street.
These few days, there were several teams on the hunt for her.
While she was long used to the darkness, she was rarely this pursued on a large scale. British government operatives had locked down London and thoroughly searched for her.
Extremely few could avoid surveillance from the very discriminating surveillance equipment.
She decisively opted to take them head-on.
She had long expected this outcome. If Xu Mingyang managed to figure out who was behind it, he would undoubtedly put a price on her head and mobilize Britain’s elite agents to take her out in London.
‘Hmmph!’
How could they take her life this easily? Whether they could take her life was up to how capable they were.
She had to quickly think of a way to get out of London and return to settle remaining loose ends and look for Harry once the scandal had died down. If she remained in London, she would be outnumbered, trapped, and eventually captured.
Xu Mingyang...
Heh, he was not to blame. Duty calls.
Two shadows leaped forth from Xunuo’s sides and she fired three shots in the direction. The quick shadows moved through the darkness. Like them, she was well-trained and navigated in the dark with ease.
She opted for hit-and-run tactics that were the best for her.
Suddenly, five gunshots rang out and took out the person from her right. An Xunuo looked up to see Ye Ningyuan casually sitting on the roof, waving the silver pistol in his hands at her.
Those that were after her were all killed.
The gentle moonlight illuminated his perfect face exceptionally well. He seemed as elegant as though he was out to appreciate the moon. An Xunuo tucked her lips and coldly said, “I don’t need your help.”
“I know.” He smiled. “Being on the run is tough, huh?”
“Is it of your concern?” An Xunuo coldly laughed.
She waved her sleeves and was about to leave.
Ye Ningyuan, gesturing a broken heart, said, “Such rebellious daughters greatly trouble their fathers.”
An Xunuo paused and closed her eyes as she secretly cursed herself. “Younger Master Ye, please forget that. If you don’t, I do not know what I am capable of doing,” she replied solemnly.
Black J and Ye Ningyuan were the same! Nobody else knew it.
“I know you wouldn’t.” Ye Ningyuan smiled.
An Xunuo coldly frowned. “Are you so bored to the point you leaked information about me and then saved me? Are you that restless?”
“Your intelligence has been very accurate too.”
“Duh!”
“Darling daughter, Daddy needs to make a trip to the Middle East. Would you like to tag along and stay low for the moment?” Ye Ningyuan asked teasingly.
