Chapter 1918  : A Cocky and Brazen Ye Zhizhou

“I want to ask Ye Zhizhou something.”

“Okay.”

Ye Zhizhou’s injury was not serious.

He was sent to the hospital ward after the doctor treated him.

Ye Ge had not left Ye Zhizhou’s side all the time. He feared that something might happen along the way.

Ye Zhizhou remained on his bed and smiled at Yan Ge. “Are you afraid I’ll try to escape? Don’t worry. I won’t run away.”

Ye Zhizhou looked as though he was very comfortable in the hospital.

Why was he still so calm after being caught?

“Do you think you’ll be able to escape?”

Yan Ge snorted with his arms folded. Ye Zhizhou would not be able to get away as long as he was around.

Yan Ge vowed never to let Ye Zhizhou escape with his life.

To him, it was a military order.

“Yan Ge, you underestimate me.”

Ye Zhizhou looked particularly fired up. He was humming a tune to himself.

Yan Ge sat on the chair and gave Ye Zhizhou a suspicious look. He looked closely at Ye Zhizhou’s face, which looked exquisite yet malevolent.

Yan Ge asked, “Ye Zhizhou, you’re so handsome. Did you manage to get to where you are because of...” He then shifted his glance down to a certain part of Ye Zhizhou’s body.

Ye Zhizhou snorted, “Shut up, Yan Ge.”

“No, Ye Zhizhou, I am curious. C’mon, tell me.”

Just then, Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin walked into the hospital ward. Yan Ge looked at them cheekily and smiled, while Ye Zhizhou’s face was grim.

Ye Tianxin walked up to Ye Zhizhou and beamed. “Who made Young Master angry?”

Gritting his teeth, Ye Zhizhou shot back, “Ye Tianxin, are you here to mock me?”

“I’m not mocking you, Ye Zhizhou. I just want to ask you something. There are so many holes in your plan. What made you think you can carry it out seamlessly?”

“It was an accident.” Ye Zhizhou was seething with rage.

Ye Tianxin shook his head. “No, it was not. You don’t even know Lin Yu...”

“This is Lin Yu’s fault. She was an unknown variable.” Ye Zhizhou clenched his fists. The old man must have done it deliberately. “I made a mistake, but I was not defeated by you. I was defeated by him.”

Li Qingcang was sharp enough to sense that Ye Zhizhou meant someone else.

“Who is he?”

Ye Zhizhou smiled smugly. “Li Qingcang, do you want to know who he is?”

Yan Ge warned, “Ye Zhizhou, are you talking nonsense?”

Ye Zhizhou smirked and said, “I’m not telling you. ‘I’m not a citizen of the Empire, so you can’t force me to say anything. If you try to use force or torture me, I can file a complaint with the international arbitration courts. I’ll tell them you are using physical torture on me.”

Ye Zhizhou wasn’t scared. He knew that neither Xie Xuning nor Li Xing would kill him.

Xie Xuning and Li Xing had come to the most critical step in their lives. One terrible mistake could cost them their careers.

The Xie and Li families were very compatible in terms of status and power. It was a good marriage for them.

To some people, it was a threat; it was a merger of military, politics, and business relations.

He was certain Xie Xuning and Li Xing would tread cautiously this time. If they let their guard down for even a second, they could fall into someone else’s trap.

“Ye Zhizhou, did you know that I hate it when people try to threaten me?”

Li Qingcang then took a syringe from Qie Wenyang.

“Li Qingcang, what do you want?”
