692: Chapter 688: Ye Xuong’s Condition?
Ye Tian felt it was rather baffling, the black-clad person’s actions didn’t quite make sense!
However, if he were to leave now, he feared that the black-clothed individual might take advantage of his absence to steal the Spirit Vein Stone, and Ye Tian certainly didn’t want that…
As he pondered, Ye Tian had no choice but to call Wang Bingbing!
“Bingbing, I have a task for you to do!”
“…”
Over the phone, Ye Tian laid out his request, but Wang Bingbing seemed somewhat silent.
Ever since Ye Tian established the Night King Hall, the frequency of tasks he assigned to the organization had obviously increased, while the use of Wang Bingbing and the Hungry Wolf had diminished.
Naturally so, the Night King Hall was Ye Tian’s own force, whereas Wang Bingbing’s Ice Snow Bar and the Hungry Wolf were merely forces under Ye Tian’s banner!
Wang Bingbing and the Hungry Wolf were very busy on a daily basis, each with their own tasks to attend to…
What’s more, the martial artist combat power within the Night King Hall, which Ye Tian personally established, was astonishingly powerful, a level that the forces of Wang Bingbing and the Hungry Wolf could not match.
However, this time, Ye Tian had no choice but to call upon Wang Bingbing, for despite the lack of capable fighters in her Ice Snow Bar, it had an exceptional capacity for gathering intelligence, so it was quite reasonable for Ye Tian to ask Wang Bingbing to handle this matter for him.
“All right.”
Upon understanding Ye Tian’s order, Wang Bingbing immediately agreed.
Ye Tian then made his way back down the stairs to the shopping mall’s underground second-floor parking lot once more…
Of course, Ye Tian could not let anyone else know that there was a hidden door here!
After a while, Wang Bingbing arrived, leisurely as always, with two underlings in tow…
“Brother Tian, good!”
“Brother Tian!
It’s such an honor to do this task for you, truly a blessing from past lives!”
As soon as the two underlings saw Ye Tian, they started to flatter him, which Ye Tian found agreeable, responding with a smile.
Seeing no one else around, Wang Bingbing gave a command to the two underlings, then began to install surveillance cameras in the underground parking lot!
After all, this was a commercial area belonging to municipal facilities; installing cameras here was not permitted.
But the cameras Wang Bingbing brought this time were highly covert pinhole cameras that most people could never detect…
As the two underlings were installing the cameras, Wang Bingbing asked in surprise, “Ye Tian, why do you want the cameras to monitor such a remote corner?
Could it be that there’s some earth-shattering secret behind this wall?”
Ye Tian smiled and said, “Bingbing, you’ve guessed right this time!
Indeed, there’s something extremely significant behind this wall!
So please, you must keep a close watch and not let anyone break in!
Of course, for your own safety, don’t inquire about what’s behind the wall.”
“…”
Taking Ye Tian’s earnest words into account, Wang Bingbing, being astute herself, refrained from asking further and silently followed Ye Tian’s orders.
“Don’t worry, Ye Tian, since you say this matter is confidential, I’ve dispatched trusted people this time; they wouldn’t possibly leak anything!”
“Bingbing, I trust the way you work!”
Ye Tian praised, and a slight blush appeared on Wang Bingbing’s usually cold face.
The two underlings were still installing the cameras and it was unclear when they would finish, but Wang Bingbing moved closer to Ye Tian.
Wang Bingbing’s body was now leaning against Ye Tian…
“Ye Tian, why haven’t you let me work for you these days?”
Wang Bingbing asked resentfully, her words tinged with complaint.
Ye Tian chuckled bitterly, knowing that if he said the Ice Snow Bar lacked strength, it would likely offend Wang Bingbing.
So all he could do was prevaricate, “Bingbing, what are you saying?
Isn’t it because you’ve become the Clan Leader of the Wang Family and you’re so busy that I didn’t dare bother you!”
However, Ye Tian’s response could hardly satisfy Wang Bingbing…
“Hmph!
Excuses!”
Wang Bingbing murmured under her breath and leaned even closer to Ye Tian.
Although known as the Ice Snow Queen, Wang Bingbing’s attire that day was quite provocative, shockingly a low-cut body-hugging dress.
The dress accentuated her graceful figure, and with her posture as she leaned on him, Ye Tian could distinctly see the deep cleavage of Wang Bingbing.
While not as endowed as Yun Xinyan, Wang Bingbing’s chest could likely rank within the top three in Jiangcheng!
Ye Tian, being a red-blooded man, couldn’t help but take a few extra glances at Wang Bingbing’s revealing outfit.
And Wang Bingbing, seeing Ye Tian staring at her, merely smiled slightly.
The Ice Snow Queen revealed a tender side in front of Ye Tian!
“Ye Tian, although I haven’t seen you these past few days, I do know that your wife Yun Xinyan has been seeking medical advice everywhere, hoping to have a child!”
Wang Bingbing teased, and at that moment, Ye Tian wished he could dig a hole and burrow into it.
Good news stays within walls, bad news travels a thousand miles!
Yun Xinyan’s urgent desire to conceive a child had surprisingly reached the ears of Wang Bingbing…
However, upon second thought, the Ice Snow Bar owned by Wang Bingbing was the strongest information agency in Jiang City, so it made sense that she could know about Yun Xinyan’s affairs.
But no matter how much Wang Bingbing knew, there were some things that Ye Tian had to vehemently deny!
“Bingbing, I must tell you!
The fact that Xinyan hasn’t been able to conceive yet has absolutely nothing to do with me!”
Ye Tian’s attempt to cover up made Wang Bingbing burst into laughter with a “pfft!”
“I didn’t say anything!
You’re the one saying this!”
Wang Bingbing looked at Ye Tian meaningfully, leaving him at a loss for words…
At this point, perhaps only getting Yun Xinyan pregnant could prove his innocence?
Wang Bingbing gave Ye Tian another look, her eyes brimming with boundless tenderness…
“Ye Tian, I really envy Yun Xinyan…”
While Wang Bingbing usually spoke in a very cold manner, this statement was filled with passion.
Ye Tian, too, responded with a gentle smile, “Bingbing, there’s no need to envy Xinyan, you’re also a very beautiful woman.”
With that, Ye Tian caressed Wang Bingbing’s cheek.
Wang Bingbing’s face turned even redder.
Where was the Ice Snow Queen’s usual demeanor now?
She had intended to lean in closer to Ye Tian, but the two underlings had already finished installing the surveillance camera.
One of them turned his head and said to Wang Bingbing, “Ice Snow Queen, it’s all set up!”
“Excellent!”
Wang Bingbing immediately resumed her serious expression and nodded.
They were in a corner of the parking lot and remaining here could arouse suspicion, so Ye Tian led Wang Bingbing and the two underlings away from the mall.
After leaving the mall, Ye Tian instructed, “Bingbing, this is a matter of great importance.
Please make sure someone is watching the surveillance cameras 24 hours a day.
If there’s any movement at all, inform me immediately, understood?”
“Yes, of course!”
Wang Bingbing nodded.
Ye Tian still felt quite reassured having her on the task.
“Good!”
After saying this, Ye Tian lightly tapped the ground with the tip of his foot and left the pedestrian street plaza.
Although he had been tricked by the man in black, Ye Tian was finally in a position to tighten the noose around the man in black’s neck and wait for the prey to appear.
The moment the man in black showed up, Ye Tian would be ready to take action.
Before that, however, Ye Tian had to return to the Night King Hall’s headquarters manor, as there were still some matters he didn’t quite trust leaving unattended.
Ye Tian used his qinggong to hurry along the roads of Jiang City, speeding up especially in less crowded areas.
Half an hour later, Ye Tian arrived at the Night King Hall manor!
“Boss!
You’re back?”
The one who came to greet Ye Tian wasn’t Ye Xuong but Vampire Dracula.
Ye Tian looked at Dracula and asked directly, “Do we know who killed Zhang Bo yet?”
The most pressing question on Ye Tian’s mind was the murderer of Zhang Bo.
This was to confirm whether anyone within the Night King Hall had been manipulated by the Sima Family.
With Ye Xuong unable to participate in the investigation, Ye Tian had handed the important task of finding the murderer to Dracula!
Unfortunately, haste does not bring success, and despite Ye Tian’s urgency, he couldn’t find the killer right away.
Dracula apologized, “Boss, I’m really sorry!
I’ve identified the people who have been out these last few days and am checking them one by one.
I believe it won’t be long before we know who the killer is!”
“Hmm!
Keep investigating!”
Ye Tian said gravely and then, without further conversation with Dracula, headed straight for the back courtyard of the Night King Hall manor.
In the backyard, the three brothers of the Ding family had been waiting respectfully for his arrival!
“Boss, you’re here?”
“Boss, where did you go yesterday and today?”
“Yeah, Boss, if there’s anything, you must tell us three brothers.
We’re getting restless staying here!”
The Ding brothers had been faithfully loyal to Ye Tian since they submitted to the Night King Hall, looking up to him in all matters.
Ye Tian glanced at the Ding brothers and asked, “How is Ye Xuong’s training going?”
Ding Da’s face showed a trace of bitterness, “Boss, rest assured, Ye Xuong is talented.
Although the Cultivation Technique of Xuanyun is extremely difficult to master, he is willing to work hard, so I believe it won’t be long before he fully grasps it!”
Ding Er sighed and said, “However, Ye Xuong has fainted many times already.
Just now, he passed out again.
Although there’s been progress, I’m afraid his body won’t hold up!”
Ding San also added, “Mastering the Cultivation Technique of Xuanyun can’t be rushed.
In my opinion, we could slow down a bit, wait for his body to fully recover and then continue training.”
The three brothers had slightly divergent views.
Ye Tian pondered for a moment and then said, “Right now, the Night King Hall is not yet ready for a direct confrontation with the Sima Family, so Ye Xuong’s practice of the Cultivation Technique of Xuanyun must continue uninterrupted!”
The Ding brothers looked at each other; since Ye Tian had decided, they wouldn’t go against his wishes…
