My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 304: Chapter 0303: The Real and Fake Ye Xiong (3rd Update)_1
 

Li Chunpeng spoke, his body transforming into a blur as he lunged at Chen Xiao.

Li Chunpeng had thoroughly investigated the people around Ye Xiong. Except for Phoenix, none were a match for him, and that certainly included Chen Xiao.

The dagger, gleaming coldly, fiercely pounced towards Chen Xiao.

Just as he was about to strike, Chen Xiao suddenly moved!

With the sound of a “ding”, Li Chunpeng’s dagger was cut in half.

Next, Chen Xiao’s feet moved in the Nine Palaces Mystic Step, his form weaving like a shuttle, quick as lightning.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

In less than three seconds, an onslaught like a violent storm had severed Chen Xiao’s wrists.

And that wasn’t all.

Chen Xiao pursued like a shadow, his knife spinning in his hand, swiftly severing the remaining tendons in Li Chunpeng’s hands and legs.

The change in the situation was too rapid; by the time Phoenix and Long Lan reacted, Li Chunpeng had already become crippled.

“You’re not Chen Xiao.”

“Are you Reaper?”

Phoenix and Long Lan exclaimed in unison.

Both women couldn’t believe it was true, but the reality was starkly in front of them.

Apart from Reaper, who could possess such strength?

“You’ve realized it too late.”

Ye Xiong removed the voice changer from his neck, tossed it aside, and resumed Reaper’s murderous aura as he spoke, “Long Lan, you are too full of yourself. Haven’t you ever heard of a strategy called counter-plot within a plot?”

Watching Li Chunpeng on the ground, his limbs severed and unable to crawl, Long Lan felt nearly heartbroken.

This was the man she loved most, the one who satisfied her the most, the man who had been wild with her in bed just moments ago, and in an instant, he had become crippled.

Her body, carrying a burst of strong wind, activated her inner strength, and with a dagger in hand, she ferociously lunged.

She wanted revenge for Li Chunpeng.

She was no match for Ye Xiong under normal circumstances, and even less so now that she had lost all reason.

Ye Xiong, holding a divine weapon, quickly defeated her. Several punches, loaded with inner strength, struck her body, causing her severe injuries.

Now, with Li Chunpeng’s limbs severed and Long Lan grievously injured, even a child could kill them.

Ye Xiong approached them, wiped the blood from the dagger on Long Lan’s body, and then said coldly, “Are you unsatisfied? Do you really want to know when Chen Xiao and I switched back our identities?”

“Today we fell into your hands. If you want to kill, kill us. Don’t expect to get a half-word out of our mouths,” Long Lan snorted coldly.

“Truth be told, I don’t know why I suddenly had the notion to switch back. From the moment I entered the conference room with Chen Xiao, I’d been feeling uneasy. This unease made me think, could the Beast Organization have infiltrated everywhere, possibly knowing about our operation?

“It was this thought that made me switch back with Chen Xiao right then, exchanging clothes with him. He stayed in Jiangnan City pretending to be me, while I came to Capital City.

“From the moment I met Ye Tongtong, I knew I’d bet correctly. You wanted to use her to confirm my identity because you were so afraid of me, you needed further confirmation. This was an unnecessary move on your part, so I decided to use your plan against you. I played along with Ye Tongtong, acting clueless and like I didn’t know her, even though at that moment, I really wanted to slap her away hard.”

Phoenix finally understood why she had felt so familiar with him all along; she had marveled secretly at how well Chen Xiao had imitated Ye Xiong, with his gaze and his demeanor being so convincingly real.

He was, in fact, the real Ye Xiong.

This guy had even managed to deceive her.

But she had to admit, his idea was bold.

It was also risky—if Long Lan had believed him and gone after his family in Jiangnan, they wouldn’t have been able to defend themselves.

It’s said that the brave are favored by fortune, and luckily, he had bet correctly.

“You will get not a single word from me,” said Long Lan.

“`

Smack!

A slap landed on her face, instantly swelling one half of her cheek.

“You think you’re all that just because you’re Long Tianya’s daughter, thinking I wouldn’t dare kill you, right? I’m telling you, even if I don’t kill you today, I’m going to make you understand what it means to wish for death.”

Thinking of everything that had happened to the Li Family, Ye Xiong was filled with an unnamed rage.

The woman before him was a murderer without remorse. If it weren’t for her, Li Xiangxiang wouldn’t have died, and the Li Family wouldn’t have lost so many lives.

“Next, I’ll ask, you answer. If you refuse to speak or deceive me, I will cut off your fingers one by one, and after your hands and feet, your toes. Now, the first question is, who is the mole in our organization?”

When Chen Xiao had disguised himself as Ye Xiong, apart from Wu Wang and Lu Ying, Ye Xiong had seven subordinates present.

He Mengji, Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, Angel, An Le’er, Du Feng, and Lu Long.

These seven were the core members of the Hunter Organization, which is why he trusted them.

But it was this trust that had led to disaster.

He Mengji, Phoenix, and An Le’er were the people he trusted the most; they had been through life and death with Ye Xiong and surely couldn’t be implicated. That left Chen Xiao, Vermilion Bird, Angel, Du Feng, and Lu Long as the five possible suspects.

He trusted these five as well, but he couldn’t trust them completely.

Because the Beast Organization was pervasive.

“Don’t even dream of getting a word out of me…”

Swish, a dark gleam passed by, and Long Lan’s left index finger was cut off.

In pain, Long Lan clenched her teeth tightly, refusing to utter a single word.

“I’m asking you again, who is the mole?”

Long Lan still kept her mouth tightly shut, refusing to speak.

Swish!

Another finger was lopped off.

The pain of losing two fingers, fingers joined to the heart, without uttering a sound, demonstrated that this twisted woman’s will was much stronger than ordinary people’s.

Ye Xiong gave up on interrogating this woman and turned his gaze to Li Chunpeng, asking, “You tell me, who is the mole?”

Li Chunpeng remained silent.

Ye Xiong raised the knife and a finger fell.

Li Chunpeng’s teeth were clenched from the pain, and he too remained silent.

Ye Xiong asked several more times, but Li Chunpeng remained just as silent.

It had to be said, the people trained by the Beast Organization had exceptionally strong wills.

This was the training of an official agent; ordinary people simply did not have such fortitude.

“You two must be in a romantic relationship!”

Ye Xiong sheathed his knife and glanced at the two, saying, “Let me tell you a very interesting observation. When I was questioning Li Chunpeng just now, every time I cut off one of his fingers, a pained expression appeared on Long Lan’s face. Her gaze was as if it were her own fingers being cut and she glared at me with anger, which shows that Miss Long Lan deeply loves Mr. Li Chunpeng; unfortunately, when I was torturing Long Lan, there wasn’t a hint of tenderness in Li Chunpeng’s eyes, as if he was relieved it wasn’t him being questioned. Now, I have to ask…”

Ye Xiong squatted down, looking directly at Li Chunpeng, and asked, “Li Chunpeng, I have to wonder, do you truly love Long Lan?”

“Who says I don’t love her? Of course, I love her, you bastard, what nonsense are you spouting?” Li Chunpeng roared in anger.

Phoenix, having observed Li Chunpeng who didn’t even blink when his fingers were being chopped, was now showing signs of disarray and couldn’t help but be inwardly astonished.

Ye Xiong was truly formidable!

In terms of understanding the human heart, there were few who could compare to him. No wonder he had always been the top operative in Dragon Group, whether it was Long Tianya in the past or Long Zaitian now; they both trusted him immensely.

His abilities were simply too strong!

At first, she worried they wouldn’t get anything out of the questioning, but now it seemed there was hope.
