My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 350: 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 and sighed before saying, “Ye Xiong, promise me one thing.”

“What is it?”

“If one day, my father falls into your hands, I hope you can give him a quick end, and not let him be tortured.”

“I won’t kill him, I will just hand him over to the authorities, but if push comes to shove, I promise you that request.”

Ye Xiong thought for a moment then suddenly asked, “What if one day I fall into your father’s hands and he wants to kill me, would you plead for me?”

“I definitely will.”

“Why?”

“Because you are from the National Security Bureau, I don’t want my dad to make another mistake.”

“I thought it was because I am handsome!” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.

“You wish, at best you’re like an ordinary pawn, and you call that handsome!”

With Ye Xiong’s teasing, Duanmu Linglong felt much better.

“Rest easy here for a while, don’t think too much; it’s useless to worry, what will come, will come.”

When Ye Xiong had finished speaking, he was about to pat her on the shoulder, only to realize it was inappropriate.

He liked to pat women on the shoulders, whether it was Yang Xinyi, Tang Ning, or Luo Weiwei and Du Yuehua; it had gradually become a habit. However, his hand stopped mid-air when he remembered that he wasn’t that close with Duanmu Linglong yet.

He felt a bit embarrassed and quickly withdrew his hand.

“You seem pretty used to touching women inappropriately,” Duanmu Linglong said with disdain.

Ye Xiong broke into a sweat.

“That was meant to be an encouraging gesture, okay? The real inappropriate touch isn’t on the shoulder, it’s here,” he said, feigning a move toward her chest.

He thought Duanmu Linglong would definitely dodge and then break out cursing but, to his surprise, not only did she not move away, she actually puffed out her chest, and her eyes seemed to say: “Try and touch, I dare you.”

Ye Xiong beat a retreat, pulling back his hand, and pointed towards the inner room: “I’m going to discuss serious matters with Master Murong.”

Watching his retreating back, Duanmu Linglong muttered under her breath, “Lustful heart, but no courage.”

However, she felt much better after chatting with him.

When Ye Xiong returned to the living room, the bodies on the floor had already been dealt with.

Murong Feng seemed to have gradually recovered from his grief.

“Ruyin, this is Ye Xiong, a master from the Dragon Group, we owe him a lot for saving me this time. This is my daughter, Murong Ruyin,” introduced Murong Feng.

“Hello,” greeted Ye Xiong.

“Hello, and thank you for saving my father,” Murong Ruyin replied.

“No need to thank me, you’ve also saved my wife before.”

“I’ve saved your wife?” Murong Ruyin was taken aback.

“Do you remember, once in Jiangnan City, you cured a woman who was poisoned by the Ice Gu?” Ye Xiong reminded her.

“Are you talking about Yang Xinyi?”

“That’s right, if it hadn’t been for you, she might have been in serious trouble.”

“I never imagined, you’re the ‘him’ that Xinyi always talks about,” Murong Ruyin was very surprised. Seeing the puzzled look on Ye Xiong’s face, she explained, “I stayed at Yang Xinyi’s place for a few days while treating her and she mentioned you. She said you were a very good person, someone who would risk everything to save a regular friend.”

“I thought she would curse me out as worthless!” Ye Xiong said with a laugh.

“Whether a woman is happy can be discerned from how she talks about her man. Some women talk all about love, but it sounds contrived, while others may curse their husbands as worthless, yet their words are filled with love.”

“Miss Murong speaks so profoundly!”

“Just call me Ruyin!”

Ye Xiong couldn’t help but size up Murong Ruyin; regrettably, she wore a veil and a head cover, making it impossible to discern her appearance.

He had heard from Chen Xiao that Murong Ruyin was Huaxia’s foremost miracle woman in the medical field, not only possessing a peerless beauty but also medical skills that were first-class, nearly matching her father’s. It was a pity he couldn’t see her true face.

“I’m sorry, I have compelling reasons that prevent me from showing my face, my apologies,” Murong Ruyin said politely, noticing his gaze.

“I’m the one who should be sorry,” Ye Xiong quickly averted his eyes.

Murong Ruyin found his everlasting politeness and courtesy to be somewhat surprising.

When helping Yang Xinyi with her treatment, she heard Yang Xinyi say that her husband was all right except for being too much of a playboy, surrounded by many women, a true playboy. Now that she saw him, it seemed that wasn’t the case at all.

But appearances could be deceiving, and maybe he was just putting on an act.

“Let’s focus on the matter at hand!” Ye Xiong thought for a moment before asking Murong Feng, “Mr. Murong, I came to ask about the medical conference of the Lingnan Sect. If one wins, other than earning the title of Lingnan Medical God, what other rewards are there?”

Long Tianya wouldn’t go to such lengths just for a mere title.

“The medical conference of the Lingnan Sect is held once every five years. The winner gains the title of Lingnan Medical God for five years, along with a substantial sum of money and various sponsorships; it’s fair to say they receive both fame and fortune.”

“Is there anything else?”

Murong Feng’s expression showed difficulty.

“The Beast Organization doesn’t lack money, nor do they need fame. They absolutely wouldn’t do all this just for that.” Seeing Murong Feng’s silence, Ye Xiong spoke sternly, “Mr. Murong, this is serious. I hope you can be honest with us, as it relates to our subsequent strategy deployment.”

“It’s not that I don’t want to say, but the esteemed teachings of our ancestors state that only the victor of the medical conference, only those who earn the title of Lingnan Medical God, are qualified to know the truth.”

“Extraordinary situations require extraordinary measures, can you not divulge the truth?”

“This is a legacy of the Lingnan Sect; I dare not decide on my own. I hope you can understand,” Murong Feng responded.

“Mr. Murong…”

“Mr. Ye, you have come a long way, and it’s been hard. I will arrange a place for you to stay,” Murong Ruyin interjected.

“Then I’ll trouble Miss Ruyin,” he said.

Next, Murong Ruyin led Ye Xiong and his companions upstairs to find a place to stay. @@novelbin@@

The Murong family villa was five stories high, with many vacant rooms, more than enough to accommodate the group.

Ye Xiong got a room to himself, Wu Wang and Gecko, along with another agent, shared a room, the An Family sisters got another room, and Duanmu Linglong had her own room.

After the arrangements, Ye Xiong called everyone, except Duanmu Linglong, to his room to discuss important matters.

He repeated the conversation he had had with Murong Feng.

“This old man, we go through all the trouble of saving him, travel miles to rescue his family, and he just dismisses us with talk of old legacies. If he doesn’t tell us, how are we supposed to know Ghost’s target?” An Le’er, who had the fieriest temper, couldn’t help but curse.

“What era is this, still clinging to legacies, pah!” An Ji’er was equally displeased.

“Keep it down, don’t let others hear,” Ye Xiong said sternly.

The An Family sisters quieted down, but it was obvious they were still upset.

“What do you plan to do?” Wu Wang looked at Ye Xiong.

“We must find out what the prize of this medical conference is, otherwise we’ll be like blind people, unable to fathom Ghost’s purposes, let alone set up a plan of action… With everyone’s efforts combined, let’s think of a solution.”
