Qian Hao was truly furious, his entire body trembling with anger, yet he was helpless.
Not only had he failed to heed the warning, but he had also become even more reckless, and now he was being asked to share a room!
That was his woman!
"Ye Longlin! I'll make you realize the true extent of the Qian family's power!"
"If it weren't Qingqiu's birthday today, I would have definitely sunk you in the sea to feed the fish!"
Ye Longlin narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone chillingly said, "I advise you to make your move now, otherwise, I will only uproot the problem completely!"
Qian Hao let out a cold snort, "You just wait!"
After leaving, he returned to the lounge, his face grim as he spoke to the old butler, "I'll give you half an hour to get rid of Ye Longlin!"
The old butler took a couple of puffs of his pipe, said nothing, and walked out directly.
On the deck, Ye Longlin stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the faintly lit lights in the darkness, representing the hearths he protected.
Perhaps no one knew that today, on the high seas, a war criminal once hailed as a "Soldier King" had died defending his country!
"Officer Ye, although Qian Hao is the third son of the Qian family, his status within the family is quite high. His two older sisters are also formidable, making Qian Hao the most troublesome among all the scions of prominent families you've encountered so far."
Mu Hanqi spoke now, clearly, Qian Hao's matter had also caused her some concern.
It wasn't this person who was troublesome, but the entire Qian family.
Ye Longlin looked out at the sea, his tone indifferent, "There's nothing troublesome about it, we'll simply flatten them."
This simple statement shook Mu Hanqi. She knew that Ye Longlin was not one to brag. If he dared to say it, he must have his reasons.
"Flatten the Qian family? If you genuinely have the ability, I'll be your true wife. But you clearly don't possess such power."
"Do you really think the Qian family, the foremost of the four great families, is that simple? Haven't you considered that even families with Old Master Bai and Old Master Huo can only rank third and fourth, while the Qian family is ranked first? Have you never thought about that?"
Lin Tian'ai spoke at this moment, scoffing with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Mu Hanqi quickly held Lin Tian'ai's arm and whispered, "Don't say any more, Tian'ai."
"What can't be said? If he dares to say it, why can't I? Flatten the Qian family? I think it's better to go back and prop up your pillow higher."
Mu Hanqi was truly exasperated. After all, she had personally witnessed Ye Longlin and Yuan Gang walking on waves before, which far surpassed their understanding. He was definitely part of some mysterious national department!
As the current figurehead of the Mu family, she knew some things to varying degrees.
"Tian'ai, I told you to stop talking. You should trust Officer Ye instead of constantly accusing him. He is a man!"
Mu Hanqi said somewhat angrily. Thinking of Ye Longlin's identity, she felt a surge of excitement and... fear?
Lin Tian'ai said in disbelief, "Mu Mu, you're actually angry with me for his sake?"
However, at this moment, an aged figure appeared on the deck. In the darkness, only the faint glow of his pipe was visible, flickering on and off.
"Qian Hao sent you here, didn't he?"
Ye Longlin suddenly spoke, causing the argument between the two women to pause.
Lin Tian'ai was confused, not knowing who he was talking to. She hadn't even seen the old butler in the darkness. Just as she was about to speak, a voice rang out.
"It doesn't matter who sent me. What matters is that you won't leave this ship alive."
The old butler shook his head slightly, flicked his pipe, and emerged from the darkness.
Ye Longlin stood with his hands behind his back, a playful smile on his face, "Since you want to kill me, you must be prepared to be killed in return. You have no chance against me."
After a long pause, the old butler said faintly, "If the sovereign commands the subject to die, the subject must not refuse."
With that, the old butler drew a Tang dao, stamped his feet, held the sword with both hands, and advanced, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
With a push of his foot, his entire form turned into an afterimage, slashing horizontally towards Ye Longlin's neck. A direct hit would be fatal, even for the most skilled doctor.
However, just as the Tang dao was about to touch his neck, his right hand suddenly extended beside his neck, and two fingers gently clamped down.
"Buzz!"
The rapidly approaching Tang dao stopped almost instantly, then began to vibrate with a high-pitched hum.
The old butler's pupils contracted instantly. He wanted to withdraw the sword, but found that the immense force from the two fingers had gripped the blade so tightly that he couldn't budge the arm at all!
"Not good!"
The old butler's heart trembled violently. He instantly released the Tang dao, but at that moment, Ye Longlin's figure suddenly closed in. A whip kick landed heavily on his chest. The Tang dao behind him, after a moment of freefall, was caught by Ye Longlin and then thrown back with force.
"Pfft—"
The old butler was kicked by Ye Longlin onto the surface of the sea. The precisely thrown Tang dao pierced through his heart and then landed on the water.
Lin Tian'ai and Mu Hanqi watched this scene, their eyes wide. They rushed to the railing to look, only to see a shark, drawn by the scent of blood, swallow him whole in one bite.
"Ye Longlin... you... you... you killed again!!"
Lin Tian'ai stammered, her eyes unfocused, still in disbelief.
He had killed at the Ye family banquet before, and now he had done it again...
Ye Longlin gave her a contemptuous look, utterly dismissive, "Otherwise, should I wait for him to chop off my head and use it for your flower arrangements?"
Her words were quite telling.
Mu Hanqi was more composed, holding Lin Tian'ai's arm and said, "Tian'ai, Officer Ye is right. If he hadn't killed this old man, this old man would have killed him. Haven't you heard that this old man was hired by Qian Hao?"
Lin Tian'ai was still in shock. Mu Hanqi had to escort her back to the lounge.
"I never imagined that Mr. Ye, in addition to his supreme medical skills, also possesses such decisive killing methods."
Wang Meilan and Bai Wushuang descended from the third deck, clasping their fists and saying.
When the old butler had appeared, they had already intended to send their men into action. However, before their men could even arrive, Ye Longlin had already dealt with the opponent.
They had also only just realized how powerful Ye Longlin truly was.
Ye Longlin stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent, as if he had merely done something trivial.
Indeed, for him, killing was as commonplace as breathing.
"When you constantly walk the line between life and death, these matters become very simple. You must also understand that in this world, there is never absolute fairness or right and wrong. There is only life and death."
