Ye Wanwan looked at the pan-fried prawns right in front of her and rubbed her rumbling tummy. Her eyes were filled with desire.
However, her head told her she couldn’t continue eating like this – these past two days, she had eaten… till she almost burst.
But…
Ye Wanwan leaned in closer to the juicy prawns which looked and smelled so good. She took a little whiff. They smell heavenly…
“Jiaojiao, come over and eat.”
Ye Wanwan stared at the Little Lolita who was obsessed with her drama series and called out to her reluctantly.
“Master, I’m not eating that – I’ll get fat!” Jiaojiao looked pitifully at Ye Wanwan.
At that moment, the old housekeeper walked inside and said, “Master, I saw a child today and he was pacing in our yard. I’m not sure where he came from.”
“A child? Probably from a family living nearby…” Ye Wanwan didn’t really mind.
Before the old housekeeper could speak, two “bangs” resounded outside.
“They’re gunshots!” The old housekeeper immediately looked out the door.
Little Lolita and fatty stood up instantly and returned to their own rooms. A moment later, they returned to the hall.
“What’s going on?” The long-haired man and bearded man rushed to the hall when they heard the gunshots.
“I’m afraid they’re here for us,” Little Lolita said.
“Probably the same group of people. Song Qiang, Tang Bin, both of you protect master while the three of us go out and take a look!” the old housekeeper ordered.
“Okay!”
The bearded man nodded. “Don’t worry, with me guarding her here, I’ll blast their brains out if he or she dares to come near.”
“Qiang-ge… you’re amazing, you’re so cool…” The long-haired man looked at the bearded man and his eyes were filled with admiration.
“That goes without saying – look at what kind of man Qiang-ge is,” the bearded man sneered.
While they were speaking, the fatty, Old Ghost Jiang and Little Lolita charged outside instantly.
Almost a second later, there were sounds of fighting coming from outside followed by the sound of a chase.
“Hng, what a bunch of morons – they actually came all the way here to court death,” the bearded man said.
“With Qiang-ge around, those people are simply asking for it!” the long-haired man said with adoration.
Ye Wanwan furrowed her brows. I’m afraid it’s not that simple.
Those mercenaries who showed up before were obviously targeting her and didn’t have much to do with Little Lolita, Old Ghost Jiang, and the others.
Initially, Ye Wanwan wanted to tell Si Ye Han about that incident, but Si Ye Han was still overseas at the moment and she was afraid he would return immediately after finding out about it. She didn’t want to interfere with his business, so she didn’t end up telling him.
“May I know if anyone is home?”
Suddenly, there was a light knock on the door and a young man’s voice.
“Master” The bearded man looked at Ye Wanwan.
“Go open the door!” Ye Wanwan pondered for a moment before she answered.
“Alright.” The bearded man walked over immediately and opened the door.
A couple of men dressed in black were standing there and the man leading them was about 27 or 28 years old, yet his hair was grayed and he was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He looked gentle and refined.
“You guys stay outside,” Tang Long said to the mercenaries with him. Then he entered the hall by himself.
“Who are you?” The long-haired man asked after seeing that Tang Long entered the hall unaccompanied. He was on guard.
Upon hearing that, Tang Long revealed a harmless smile and said gently, “Hello, everyone. Allow me to introduce myself – my name is Tang Long, the captain of Noise of Dragons mercenary group.”
