Chapter 261: Chapter 0261 An Le’er_1
The lights in the operating room finally went out.
A line of people gathered around.
“Doctor, how is my sister doing?” Angel asked.
“She’s out of mortal danger, but she was seriously injured and needs to stay in the hospital for a long time, under close observation. But rest assured, we’ve assigned our most dedicated nurse to watch over her twenty-four hours a day,” the doctor said.
“I can’t thank you enough,” Angel said, overjoyed.
“She is seriously injured and won’t wake up that quickly, so it’s best for everyone to go back and rest for now!”
After saying that, the doctor wiped away a tear from his forehead.
“I truly can’t thank you enough, doctor; you’ve been through a lot.”
Chen Xiao put a bank card in his palm, reached out for a handshake, and said with a smile, “We won’t disturb you any longer; go get some rest.”
“This is our duty as doctors. Alright, I’m heading back now.” The doctor surreptitiously pocketed the card.
Ye Xiong and Angel went inside, where An Le laid on the bed, her face very pale, deep in slumber.
Just as Angel was about to speak, Ye Xiong made a shushing motion and pointed outside, signaling her to go out.
The two of them left the room, and Ye Xiong walked up to Yang Xinyi, saying, “I’m sorry you were frightened. I promise nothing like this will happen again.”
“As long as everyone is alright,” Yang Xinyi replied.
“Chen Xiao, take Vermilion Bird and send Xinyi and the others back. From now on, you two should stay in the villa, it’s more convenient for protecting them.” After Ye Xiong finished speaking, he turned to Angel and said, “You should go back and rest too. I’ll be here, and I’ll inform you the moment An Le wakes up.”
“I’m not leaving,” Angel shook her head.
“Then we’ll head back first.”
After Chen Xiao spoke, he led the group back.
Yang Xinyi was reluctant to leave, but after Ye Xiong consoled her, she finally left, still hesitant.
“Xiao Bai Bai, you should go back too,” Ye Xiong waved at Xiao Bai Bai. “Tomorrow, have Tang Ning buy you a nice meal to reward you for your hard work.”
Woof, woof!
Xiao Bai Bai barked happily.
An Le was wheeled into the VIP ward by the nurse, the room not only had a hospital bed but also two beds for family members, very upscale.
Having money indeed makes many things possible; arranging all this must have cost Chen Xiao quite a sum.
Ye Xiong had noticed earlier, Chen Xiao had slipped the doctor a bank card likely filled with a substantial amount of money.
This guy, his ability to get things done is pretty good, truly worthy of his background as a special agent.
“Angel, you’re also tired, take a nap!” Ye Xiong pointed to the adjacent bed.
Angel walked over to the bedside and sat down before suddenly saying, “Just found a new master and ended up like this, I wonder if An Le will regret such a decision.”
“Sorry, I promise that from now on I will use all my power to ensure that you sisters won’t get hurt again,” Ye Xiong declared resolutely.
Angel sighed, glanced at her sister lying on the hospital bed, and then said, “Do you know that on the night at the hotel room, after you left, An Le said a lot to me, all about you.”
“She admires you, you know?” Angel asked gravely.
“I really hadn’t thought about that,” Ye Xiong said, genuinely surprised.
“Angel and I are different, I’m a very rational woman, but she is very emotional. Since that time in the forest, after you interrogated me shamelessly, after she listened to everything, she became very interested in you. She thought I was lying to her, she didn’t believe that a man could strip me of my clothes and not violate me, claiming I must have been violated but was too embarrassed to tell her. Only after I swore emphatically did she believe me, and since then, she began to be curious about you.”
Remembering the warmth in the midst of the trees, Angel’s face reddened slightly, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Back then, I wanted to kill you, and although you had captured me, why did you let me go?”
This was something she had never understood. For any other man, it would have been either kill her or torment her to death, not let her go so easily.
“If I tell you it was because you’re pretty, and I was moved by a sense of pity and tenderness, would you believe me?” Ye Xiong said with a smile.
In fact, there were two reasons; the first was his flirtatious nature, not wanting to kill such a beautiful woman; and the second was that at that time, he was still drowning in the grief of his teammate’s death without solace, leaving him indifferent to the world, feeling that even if he were to be killed, it wouldn’t matter. That’s why he let her go.
Now, he treasured his life very much, he had to expose Dragon Tianyuan’s true face, and moreover, protect the women around him. If anyone still wished to take his life now, even if they were as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, he would still decisively destroy them.
Now, his stance and mindset had changed.
“Believed. Seeing that you have so many women around, one knows you are inherently flirtatious,” Angel said with a glare before continuing, “Since then, she became very interested in you and hoped to confront you one day. Finally, her opportunity came.”
“Ghost had her disguise herself as Murong Changqing, a teacher at Jiangnan University, to obtain a USB drive from you. She was full of confidence, thinking it would be easy, but she still fell short. If I hadn’t captured Tang Ning, she would probably be in trouble.”
Ye Xiong finally understood why An Le, when disguised as Murong Changqing, had tried so hard to seduce him; she had wanted to spar with him all along. This woman was really competitive.
“On the trip to Thunder Mountain, you impressed her once again. From that moment on, she started thinking about defecting from Ghost and being with you. Once you completely defeated Ghost, she began discussing with me the idea of us sisters returning to Jiangnan to be with you. That’s why we came back to Jiangnan.”
“That night, when you burst through the window, An Le deliberately stripped to seduce you. It wasn’t because she was afraid of death, but her stubbornness was at play; she wanted to know if she could successfully tempt you. But again, she was disappointed. Actually, An Le is not the type of person you imagine, who would casually sell her body. Even for a mission, she only went as far as exposing herself, and none of her targets ever touched her before they went to their graves…”
“Frankly, if I had been the one protecting Yang Xinyi that night, I definitely wouldn’t have dared to fight Cold-blooded to the death but would have run away. However, she did it. She’s just that emotional and stubborn.”
If it hadn’t been for Angel’s words, Ye Xiong would never have considered that as an assassin, An Le could have such an emotional side.
Or maybe, she wasn’t a proper assassin at all.
A qualified assassin’s most basic rule is to survive, and she had violated this.
The second rule, to be cold-blooded, she had violated this as well.
So to say, she wasn’t a qualified assassin at all.
But she was a person with flesh and blood.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Listening to this, Ye Xiong felt quite moved. He never expected that one day he would be held in such high regard by a woman, especially an adversary, and it gave him a strange feeling inside.
After chatting for a while longer, Angel lay down on the bed beside her to sleep.
Ye Xiong stood in front of the bed, looking at An Le’s pale face, and as he watched, he couldn’t help but smile.
