Chapter 0349: First Encounter with Murong Ruyin (Two more updates)_1

"My name is Ye Xiong, Ye as in 'leaf', Xiong as in 'hero', not the Xiong of a bear."

Pfft.

Duanmu Linglong couldn't help but laugh at his joke. She sighed and said, "Ye Xiong, promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"If my father falls into your hands one day, I hope you can give him a quick and painless death. Don't let him be tortured."

"I won't kill him; I'll just hand him over to the authorities. But if I have no other choice, I'll grant your request."

"I definitely will."

"Why?"

"Because you're with the National Security Bureau. I don't want my dad to keep making the same mistakes."

"I thought it was because I'm handsome!" Ye Xiong said with a laugh.

"You? You're a pawn on a chessboard at best. And you call yourself handsome?"

After Ye Xiong's teasing, Duanmu Linglong felt much better.

"Rest easy here for a while. Don't overthink things. It's useless to worry; what's meant to happen will happen."
