"You said your marksmanship is excellent," Xiao Ya responded softly.
"You believe everything I say?"
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Ha!"
Ke Muning reached out and pinched Xiao Ya's mouth. "How many sweets has this little one eaten?"
Xiao Ya looked puzzled. "I rarely eat sweets."
Ke Muning bit down hard on his teeth, feeling overwhelmed by her cuteness. He felt that no matter how much he pinched her face, it wasn't enough. He wished he could shrink her down and squeeze her tightly in his hands to feel satisfied.
"Sir, we need to leave quickly," his subordinate reminded from the side.
Ke Muning roughly wiped the blood off Xiao Ya's face without delay and said, "Let's go."
As Ke Muning helped her into the car, Xiao Ya couldn't help but say, "It smells a bit."
Ke Muning laughed heartily. "It's the smell of gunpowder left by the reaction. I quite like this scent."
After saying that, he still wiped his hands with a tissue.
Xiao Ya asked, "Can I open my eyes now?"
"Yes."
Xiao Ya's eyelashes fluttered twice before her eyes opened.
She was now sitting in another car. The windows had privacy film, and in the dim light, Ke Muning's features looked extremely cold.
However, the next moment, Ke Muning curled his lips into a smile and teased her, "Afraid to look at dead bodies? How will you manage in the future?"
"What do you mean, how will I manage?" Xiao Ya asked him back, not at all upset by his mockery.
"If you're going to follow me, you'll often see..."
"Only for ten days," Xiao Ya counted on her fingers.
Ke Muning frowned unhappily and said, "Didn't I tell you? Once I've chased you down, you belong to me. Little one, how can you use me and then run away?"
Xiao Ya still didn't get angry. She reached up and hugged Ke Muning's neck, stretching to plant a kiss on his cheek.
Ke Muning was stunned for a moment, instinctively raising his hand to touch his face.
Xiao Ya said seriously, "Now Ke Muning belongs to me, so Ke Muning has to listen to me."
"How did I end up belonging to you?"
"I stamped you, and once stamped, you belong to me."
"How can a little one be so domineering?"
"I learned it from you."
Ke Muning was left speechless.
But at least Ke Muning didn't dwell on this issue anymore. He muttered to himself that they'd stay for ten days first and then see. By that time, whether she went back or not wouldn't be up to the Gui family to decide.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Just as Wei Lin was about to see Jefferson, a bodyguard stopped him: "Sorry, the sir is currently meeting with a guest."
Was it an excuse? Deliberately avoiding him?
Wei Lin took a couple of steps forward, turned his head, and through the glass, saw the person sitting inside.
That person... was the enemy of the Gui family — Kurokawa Shin.
Kurokawa Shin sat inside, politely saying, "The tea is excellent."
Jefferson waved his hand, calling a servant: "Take some back with you."
Kurokawa Shin nodded and stood up to bid farewell.
Upon seeing Wei Lin as he came out, his gaze turned cold. It was truly a case of enemies meeting face to face, neither able to put on a pleasant expression.
But after all, this was Jefferson's territory...
They both suppressed their hostility and walked out one after the other.
This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Wei Wenjuan's bodyguard who had just arrived.
"Wei Lin indeed seems suspicious, we should inform the young master."
After making the call, they approached Wei Lin.
Wei Lin was also surprised to see them: "Shouldn't you be protecting the young miss?"
"We were worried you might have a conflict with Mr. Jefferson..."
Wei Lin curved his lips: "How is that possible?" Wei Lin thought to himself that it would be more likely with their master. Wei Wenjuan's temper was really...
No, wait. Wei Lin's thoughts came to an abrupt halt.
Something wasn't right!
Wei Lin had a feeling that Xiao Ya might have deliberately sent them away. But why?
Wei Lin couldn't help but loosen his tie and said, "Let's go, quickly catch up. How can we ensure the young miss's safety with fewer bodyguards?"
The group hurried down the mountain.
On the necessary route back home, they saw a car motionless by the roadside.
Wei Lin's expression changed dramatically: "Something's happened!"
They rushed over.
After seeing the state of the dead driver and bodyguard, Wei Lin felt the world spinning, his heart seemingly gripped by a pair of hands.
"Call... quickly call and tell the old master!" Wei Lin said with a trembling voice.
The bodyguards didn't move.
He turned his face and looked at the remaining bodyguards.
These bodyguards of Wei Wenjuan glared at him angrily, their eyes bloodshot.
"It's you! You planned to harm the young miss!" the bodyguards roared.
Wei Lin felt utterly bewildered: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Then why did you deliberately fall behind?" the bodyguard pressed.
"I... I just went to see Mr. Jefferson, I had something to discuss with him..."
"Bullshit!"
"Wei Lin... you finally, finally came..." At this moment, Xing Siyun cried out, poking her head out.
She was truly frightened and immediately threw herself into Wei Lin's arms.
Wei Lin immediately said, "If you have any questions, why don't you ask her? There's still a survivor here."
"Ask her? Everyone knows she's your fiancée! She's even carrying your child... How convenient that she's the only one who survived." The bodyguards angrily finished speaking, no longer wanting to hear Wei Lin's excuses.
Several large men rushed forward and pinned Wei Lin to the ground.
Wei Lin didn't close his mouth in time and got a mouthful of dirt.
Damn it! Damn it! Who would dare to kill people here?
All the dead were his trusted men!
With this turn of events, he was now in a passive position!
Could it be... a plot by Wei Wenjuan and his brother? No, impossible!
Those two brothers treated Xiao Ya like the apple of their eye, they wouldn't use her to set up such a trap. Then was it that little girl who did it herself? That doesn't make sense either... Who could she mobilize? Such a big commotion would alert the police...
And they even used a sniper rifle...
At that time, the little girl should have been in the car too... One wrong move, and a stray bullet could have hit her...
Wei Lin was truly confused now.
Could it be that it really was... just a coincidence... that they encountered an enemy?
Was that little girl now... dead? Or taken away?
Whichever it was... it should actually be very advantageous for him.
Because the only intact heir, a clever one who had connections with various powerful families and an extensive network of relationships, was gone just like that.
As Wei Lin thought about this, there was a loud "boom" in his mind.
Yes!
No matter who looked at it, they would think this was beneficial to him!
His suspicion... became even harder to clear up!
Wei Lin struggled a couple of times but couldn't break free.
At this moment, he heard the bodyguards start to call Wei Wenjuan: "Young master, something terrible has happened! The young miss is missing... The driver and bodyguard in the same car were killed on the spot..."
On the other end, Wei Wenjuan's expression instantly became extremely gloomy.
"I want to kill Wei Lin."

Ke Muning directly took Xiao Ya to the most prosperous district in New York.
This area was surrounded by villas, a gathering place for the wealthy.
He hadn't been back to live here for a while, and the servants hurriedly came out to greet them when they heard footsteps.
"Sir, who is this?" The servants curiously looked at Xiao Ya.
"My daughter."
"Ah?"
"Then the madam..."
"There is no madam."
The servants thought to themselves, could she have passed away? At least it couldn't be that the sir had reproduced by himself.
"Why do we have to hide her?" Ke Muning put Xiao Ya down, his face full of regret. "I acquired her by my own abilities, I should announce it to the world."
The servants were dumbfounded. They thought it would be better if he had reproduced by himself. Acquired, acquired... Working for this sir was truly a daily test of moral questioning.
