My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 211: Chapter 0211 Turning Coat (Third Update)_1
 

Ye Xiong took only three steps back.

Thirteen’s body, like being struck by a speeding car, flew backward five or six meters before stopping.

His arm hung limply; Ye Xiong’s punch had directly dislocated it.

Wow!

Thirteen spat out a mouthful of blood, hardly able to believe this reality.

The strength of his opponent was more than just a level above his own.

He Mengji had not expected Thirteen to be defeated with a single move. When Thirteen was overseas, he was the strongest in her mercenary team, rarely meeting his match.

Ye Xiong was even more powerful than she had imagined.

“Thirteen, are you alright?” He Mengji asked anxiously.

“My arm’s dislocated, not a big deal,” Thirteen coughed and replied.

“He Mengji, I had thought that you weren’t the kind of woman lower than beasts; I didn’t expect you to be so ruthless,” Ye Xiong clenched his fists and approached step by step.

“Stop right there.”

He Mengji drew her gun and pressed it against Yang Xinyi’s head, coldly stating, “You caused my brother’s death, do you think I’d let you go? I want you to taste what it’s like to lose your most beloved kin.”

“You dare,” Ye Xiong roared with rage.

“Take one more step and see if I dare or not.”

As He Mengji spoke, she moved closer to Skeleton.

Ye Xiong was too strong, exerting immense pressure on her. Unless she stood next to Skeleton, she felt no sense of security.

Soon, He Mengji, pushing Yang Xinyi, reached within five meters of Skeleton.

At that moment, an astonishing scene unfolded.

The gun in He Mengji’s hand suddenly, like a bolt of lightning, pointed at Skeleton’s head, and she fired.

She was fast; Skeleton was faster.

The moment she fired, Skeleton dashed forward, getting there before her, and struck her chest fiercely with his palm, sending her flying five meters away.

Watching Yang Xinyi closely, Ye Xiong spread his wings like a roc.

Mo Bing slashed at Skeleton’s nape.

Skeleton dodged upon hearing the sound, and Ye Xiong swept his hand, holding Yang Xinyi in his arms, and leaped far away.

From He Mengji’s turning on her ally to Skeleton’s counterattack, and then to Ye Xiong’s surprise attack on Skeleton, rescuing Yang Xinyi, the whole incident took less than a second.

The people around had not even reacted, and the situation had drastically changed.

He Mengji fell to the ground with a small dagger in her chest, which was the weapon Skeleton held between his fingers when he struck.

Had she not reacted quickly, dodging a fatal blow to the heart, that dagger would have claimed her life right there.

“Huaxia Think Tank, that’s all you’ve got. You thought you could deceive me with those tricks?” Skeleton sneered.

“So, you really didn’t trust me and planted a mole by my side,” He Mengji stared at him, spitting out blood.

“I indeed bribed someone close to you, but you thought sending three trusted men to pretend to assault Yang Xinyi would convince me of your hatred for Ye Xiong. You were too naive; from the moment I poisoned you, I never trusted you,” Skeleton scoffed.

“How did you find out?” He Mengji was reluctant to accept this.

“The simplest clue was Yang Xinyi’s expression.”

Skeleton pointed to Yang Xinyi, who Ye Xiong had just saved, and said, “Look at her – does she look like a woman who has been raped? Even a fool can see that her expression was too natural.”

Yang Xinyi was bewildered, clueless about what had happened.

She indeed hadn’t been assaulted; those men had only torn her dress at the collar without laying a finger on her.

Now she finally understood that all He Mengji had done was just to get close to Skeleton, with the chance to kill him.

“Brother, I failed to avenge you; I let you down,” He Mengji said, covering her chest, staring at Skeleton with indignation.

“`

“So, you’ve known all along that your brother wasn’t killed by Ye Xiong?” Skeleton realized.

“Although your video was very realistically shot and the makeup was on point, you missed one thing,” He Mengji said as her gaze fell on Ye Xiong. “The person you sent to impersonate Ye Xiong could never replicate his unique temperament. He might look the part, but the temperament is far off.”

“So you’ve been plotting all along, pretending to agree to help me, but actually waiting for a chance to get close to me and kill me?” Skeleton asked.

“Too bad, it wasn’t successful,” He Mengji closed her eyes.

“Miss, are you alright?”

Thirteen rushed over, helped He Mengji up from the ground, and pressed against her chest to stop the bleeding.

“Take her to the hospital, quick!” Ye Xiong yelled.

Only then did Thirteen react, his dislocated arm hitting the ground.

There was a click, and despite the pain, he forcefully popped his dislocated arm back in place.

He carried He Mengji and quickly left; they were out of sight in an instant.

“He Mengji, you mustn’t have anything happen to you!” Yang Xinyi’s eyes reddened as she murmured.

Everyone around was completely conquered by He Mengji’s actions.

A moment ago, she was a despicable Female Demon Head in their eyes; the next moment, her image was incredibly radiant, incredibly great.

Which woman could be so enduring, to lie in wait beside her enemy, seeking a chance for a fatal blow?

This goes to show, you can’t judge a person by appearances alone.

Ye Xiong felt an immense sorrow in his heart.

He thought he had misunderstood He Mengji; now it seemed he hadn’t misunderstood her at all.

Indeed, she deserved the title of Huaxia Think Tank.

“Phoenix, protect Xinyi.”

Ye Xiong entrusted Yang Xinyi to Phoenix and stared intently at Skeleton, pulling Mo Bing from his body.

“If I don’t kill you tonight, I’ll be letting down He Mengji and all those others you’ve harmed.”

Du Yuehua had been rescued by Chen Xiao, and Yang Xinyi was also safe; at that moment, Ye Xiong had no more concerns.

“If we weren’t enemies, maybe we could have been friends, because we are very similar,” Skeleton pulled out a bronze dagger, its blade flickering with a cold light. “Unfortunately, our positions are different, so a battle is inevitable.”

“Before we battle, let’s make a bet,” Ye Xiong said.

“What’s the bet?”

“If you lose, you need to release these children and tell me the whereabouts of the others you’ve captured, as well as your purposes. If I lose, I naturally can’t stop you,” Ye Xiong said.

“You should understand, I absolutely will not lose. Do you know why?” Skeleton began to laugh heartily, sneering at the corner of his mouth. “No matter how well you fight, you are still human, but a Gene Warrior is a god, an omnipotent god, hahaha…”

“Then I will slay a god if it’s a god, a Buddha if it’s a Buddha!”

Ye Xiong leaped into the air, Mo Bing in hand, with a furious killing intent, harshly slashing down.

“Let’s see what you’re capable of.”

Skeleton’s feet performed an enigmatic step technique, his body darting left and right so fast, and with such mysterious steps, it looked as if several people were moving at once.

“This isn’t the Nine Palaces Mystic Step, how does he know this?”

Phoenix exclaimed from the sidelines.

“This step technique is so amazing, Instructor, have you seen it before?” Vermilion Bird asked, shocked.

“The Nine Palaces Mystic Step was the unique skill of the best agent in the previous intelligence squad, codenamed Shadow, but this agent disappeared a year ago.”

At that point, Phoenix, as if suddenly realizing something, her complexion changed dramatically, and she shouted, “Ye Xiong, he is one of the four agents who provided false information, leading to the death of Reaper Squad, codenamed Shadow.”

Codenamed Shadow?

Ye Xiong quickly recalled the profiles of the four agents.

The person codenamed Shadow, real name: Ruan Jingyang.
