My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 239: Chapter 0239: The Skeleton’s Last Words_1

“You guys discuss amongst yourselves, I need to run an errand,” Ye Xiong suddenly said.

“Didn’t you just get back? Why are you leaving again?” He Mengji asked curiously.

“I just remembered something very important.”

Ye Xiong didn’t wait for anyone to respond and headed towards the village.

“This guy, why is he always so skittish about his business, not even a word about where he’s going. We’re all partners here, is this really necessary?” Vermilion Bird said, arms crossed, clearly unhappy.

“That’s just how he is, very decisive, but he must really have something important to do, otherwise he wouldn’t act like this. Keep in mind that any delay could put his wife’s life in danger,” Chen Xiao explained.

“Let’s all just sit here and wait patiently,” He Mengji instructed.

Ye Xiong returned to the village, hoping to borrow a computer.

Ever since he saw the password at Immortal Aunt’s place, it had been weighing on his mind.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Skeleton must have already prepared a USB drive and code, possibly even arranged for someone to send out the information after something happened to him.

Many people with classified identities have this habit, in anticipation of events that could occur after their death.

Better to be safe than sorry.

Ye Xiong was concerned that the information left by Skeleton might be related to the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast, which was why he was so eager to find a computer.

The villagers were quite xenophobic, and it took Ye Xiong a few tries before he found a villager willing to lend him a computer—someone who had just started learning how to use one.

Ye Xiong turned on the computer, inserted the USB drive, and opened the encrypted file.

He entered the password and hit the confirm button. As a long document popped up on the computer screen, Ye Xiong clenched his fist in excitement.

He immediately pulled out the paper with the code written on it and began to match it with the content in the document.

He wrote down the corresponding content as he matched it.

Here is the content:

“If you’re reading this letter, it means I’m already dead. After watching you for some time, I find you to be a philanderer, but you still have the capability to protect Yuehua. What’s key… Yuehua loves you deeply… Please take good care of Yuehua for me.”

“The following information is extremely vital, you must remember it.”

“In Jiangnan City, Emperor Hotel, under the bed of room 303 on the ninth floor, there is something I left for you.”

“Beware of Ghost, this person was my direct supervisor, and might pose a threat to Yuehua’s safety. I don’t know his true identity, but he is very familiar with the National Security Bureau’s operations, able to predict all of their actions. His alias is The Man of a Thousand Faces…”

“Third, the Thunder Mountain Divine Beast, is actually…”

Upon reading the last part, Ye Xiong’s pupils suddenly dilated, and it took him a moment to recover.

Had it not been for Skeleton’s warning, he would have never even dreamed that the truth could be this.

Burning the paper with the code and deleting the information from the USB drive after firmly committing Skeleton’s information to memory, Ye Xiong then left.

When he returned to the village entrance, everyone was waiting for him.

“All set?” Chen Xiao asked.

Ye Xiong nodded and turned his gaze to Vermilion Bird, motioning her over with a wave of his hand.

“What’s up?”

Vermilion Bird felt something was off, sensing that Ye Xiong was unusually mysterious today. What could he have to say that couldn’t be said in front of everyone else?

With a twitch of her mouth, Vermilion Bird finally approached him.

“What is it?”

“I’d like to know, how are the Third-Generation Gene Warriors differentiated?” Ye Xiong asked.

Vermilion Bird didn’t understand why he would suddenly ask this, but she answered seriously nonetheless.

“According to the organization’s research, it appears that the First-Generation Gene Warriors were created by directly infusing genes taken from fierce beasts into human bodies. These gene fluids were so powerful that human bodies couldn’t withstand them, so to this day, there have been no First-Generation except for you, an exception. Second-Generation Gene Warriors are those whose blood was extracted and refined from the body of the First-Generation; at this point, the gene fluid was much less violent because it had passed through a human carrier, and a small portion of the stronger individuals could endure it. The Third-Generation, on the other hand, was developed by researching genes taken from the bodies of Second-Generation Gene Warriors.”

“`

“Simply put, the second generation is a copy of the first, and the third generation, a copy of the second, is that correct?” Ye Xiong asked.

“That’s pretty much it,” Vermilion Bird nodded and then said, “Right now, your whole body is a treasure, since you are the only first-generation Gene Warrior. Sadly, you’ve got no way to control the Transformation.”

Ye Xiong nodded in understanding.

“Let’s go back!”

“You called me here just to ask this?” Vermilion Bird was dumbfounded.

The two returned to the crowd, ready to leave, when suddenly two girls walked over from afar.

Seeing the two, Ye Xiong’s pupils dilated abruptly, and his killing intent surged.

The two girls turned out to be underlings of Ghost, Angel and An Le.

Having suffered losses at the hands of Ye Xiong before, Angel and An Le were frightened off by his killing intent.

“Don’t be rash. If you kill us, you won’t be able to cure your wife,” Angel quickly said.

“The boss sent us. You need this,” An Le said, pointing to the box she was holding.

“What is that?” Ye Xiong asked.

“A mini ice vault. The collected genes need to be preserved in the vault, or they’ll spoil easily.”

An Le handed the box to Ye Xiong and continued, “The boss said we sisters must accompany you on this mission to ensure you complete it successfully.”

“Not needed,” Ye Xiong said coldly.

“We don’t want to go either, but it’s the boss’s order,” said Angel.

“You think I want to be around you, a dangerous animal?” An Le chimed in.

Both girls had been victimized by Ye Xiong, so they were very wary of him.

“Who are these two babes? They’re not bad looking, why not introduce them?” Chen Xiao asked with a smile.

“My name is Angel, and she’s An Le. We’re twin sisters. Pleased to meet you,” Angel said.

“Really? Why don’t you look alike at all?” Chen Xiao asked curiously, looking at the two women.

At a glance, Angel and An Le didn’t resemble each other. Logically, twins should look quite similar.

“One of us takes after our father, and the other our mother, which is why we don’t look the same. Pleased to meet you,” An Le extended her hand, looking to shake hands with Chen Xiao.

What a bargain, Chen Xiao wouldn’t pass it up.

Just as he was about to shake hands, Ye Xiong interrupted, “They are assassins from the Beast Organization. Are you sure you want to shake hands?”

“They’re assassins? They don’t look the part at all,” Chen Xiao quickly retracted his hand, his face a picture of shock.

Now the Beast Organization was notoriously infamous, and Chen Xiao did not want to get involved with them. After all, he was part of Reaper’s team, and it was very likely that the next time they met, it would be a life-or-death struggle.

“Although we are enemies, at least for now we’re on the same side. Can’t we be temporary friends and exchange a few words?” An Le said, clearly not pleased.

“Why don’t you ask who here is willing to be friends with you?” Ye Xiong pointed at the people around them.

“In my whole life, I have hated the people from the Beast Organization the most,” Vermilion Bird said coldly.

“Kidnapping children for experiments, it’s just heartless,” Thirteen said without even giving them a glance.

“Killing so many animals just to get gene fluid, it’s too cruel,” He Mengji said.

“Let’s not get too acquainted then, saves us the embarrassment of hesitating to kill you next time,” Chen Xiao said.

“Did you hear that? Who would want to be friends with scum like you?”

“Regardless, we don’t care. This is the boss’s mission, to follow you at all times and make sure you collect the Divine Beast genes,” Angel said.

Ye Xiong gave them a disdainful look and handed the briefcase to Chen Xiao, saying, “Let’s set off!”
