CHAPTER 772: CHAPTER 772: BEGIN! NETTING OPERATION

"Fix yourself! As soon as you find the opportunity, you start bullying me; just drop dead!"

Lin Tong felt Ye Xuan’s light touch and heard his whispering words, and she both blushed and lashed out furiously.

"Hehe, you’re my wife, who else should I bully if not you?" Ye Xuan flashed a wicked smile and continued to intensify his actions.

Lin Tong’s cheeks reddened, and seeing that she couldn’t break free, she resigned herself to his will and gasped, "Not here, go inside... Um!"

She couldn’t finish her words before she moaned softly.

"At your command! My dear wife, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied."

With that signal, an excited Ye Xuan immediately picked up Lin Tong horizontally and headed toward the room inside...

Before long, the day had passed, the moon had climbed up, and night had fallen.

9:30 p.m.

In a room belonging to Ye Xuan at the Lu Family’s courtyard, the lights were still on.

Having just finished his cultivation, Ye Xuan changed into fresh clothes and picked up his phone to call Sun Xiaomeng, getting straight to the point, "Xiaomeng, how are things on your end? Is everything ready?"

"Brother Xuan, I was just about to call you! Everything’s set up here! Sister Bai has gathered the members of the serious crime unit and they’re ready to leave immediately."

Sun Xiaomeng’s lively voice came through the phone, asking, "By the way, what about on your end? Did they call you to inform you of the trading spot?"

Ye Xuan replied, "I just made a call. They’ve notified us to meet at the small forest by the West Suburb’s Xiaopan River."

"West Suburb’s Xiaopan River? Okay, I’ll tell Sister Bai right away so they can depart now," Sun Xiaomeng immediately said.

"That’s good! But have them be careful during the operation, we definitely don’t want to spook them. I’ve got to go now," Ye Xuan cautioned, preparing to hang up.

"Alright! I’ll also head over quickly, let’s meet at the north gate of Jinghu Park, shall we?" Sun Xiaomeng quickly asked.

"Xiaomeng, don’t join in tonight’s action! It’s not like yesterday; things might take an unpredictable turn. Your presence could increase the danger and distract me with your protection. If you really must come, stay close to Officer Bai, it will be safer near her," Ye Xuan said.

"Oh, you’re right! Then I won’t join you, but you take care too."

Sun Xiaomeng didn’t object, but she reminded Ye Xuan to be cautious.

However, no matter what, she wanted to join the operation and witness herself as the police netted these unremorseful drug traffickers.

"Hehe, don’t worry about me!"

Ye Xuan gave a slight smile and then hung up the phone.

After a brief tidy up, Ye Xuan turned off the lights and hurried out of the room toward the front gate.

Just as he stepped out of the courtyard, a voice came from the side of the corridor, "Ye Xuan, it’s so late, where are you going?"

Turning around, Ye Xuan saw Lu Miaochan under the bright moonlight, dressed in a plain long dress, looking like a fairy from the Palace of the Moon.

The night breeze picked up, her clothes fluttering! She tiptoed towards him with graceful steps.

"I’m just stepping out to handle something; I’ll be back soon," Ye Xuan regained his composure and said with a smile.

"Going out to handle something? Why do you need to go out again?"

Lu Miaochan’s face was filled with suspicion, her beautiful face slightly annoyed, as she sarcastically asked,

"It’s so late, what do you have to handle? Don’t tell me you’re secretly meeting some beauty, right?"

Err...

Ye Xuan broke into a sweat!

Thinking to himself, how could this girl be so suspicious? Luckily, he hadn’t let Sun Xiaomeng follow him, or her suspicion would have been confirmed!

"Miaochan, I really was on a job, I wasn’t lying to you. Do I look like that kind of person?" Ye Xuan said helplessly.

"I think you are exactly that kind of person," Lu Miaochan stated seriously.

"Cough cough..." Ye Xuan started coughing violently, nearly choking on his own saliva!

"You see, I guessed right! Feeling guilty, aren’t you?" Lu Miaochan sneered.

What is this even about!

Ye Xuan was at a loss for words and reached out to grasp Lu Miaochan’s shoulders, looking at her gently, "Miaochan, I have important matters to attend to, I don’t have time to talk more right now."

Lu Miaochan furrowed her brows and said, "Then tell me, it’s so late, what important thing do you have to do?"

Ye Xuan didn’t want to worry her, but seeing he couldn’t hide it, he admitted truthfully, "I’m helping the police catch drug traffickers!"

What? Catching drug traffickers?

Hearing this, Lu Miaochan was shocked but didn’t completely believe him, "You’re helping the police catch drug traffickers? You’re not pulling my leg, are you?"

"Of course not! Why would I joke about this? It’s really true, I’ve always said it was important."

Ye Xuan said earnestly, not looking like he was lying.

Lu Miaochan’s beautiful brows furrowed as she sized him up and asked, "You’re not a police officer, why bother meddling in such matters, helping them catch drug traffickers."

This is about drug traffickers, after all, a very dangerous mission! If it was true, she certainly didn’t want Ye Xuan to risk it.

"To be precise, I’m actually not helping the police, but a friend of mine! And she happens to be a journalist."

Ye Xuan shrugged his shoulders and spoke truthfully, "Last time, when I was dealing with an enemy, I accidentally hurt her, so I felt somewhat guilty, which is why I agreed to help her with this. Last night, I was helping her investigate the drug traffickers, and now those people have taken the bait, and tonight we’re going for the capture!"

"Really? But why do I feel like you made it all up?"

Lu Miaochan pouted, still skeptical.

I make up what! It’s true, for crying out loud! Ye Xuan thought irritably, but reluctantly said, "It’s really true, do you believe me if I swear?"

"Men are full of lies, even your oaths are false!" Lu Miaochan said lightly.

"Then what will it take for you to believe?"

"Unless..."

Lu Miaochan’s lips curved up, revealing a sly smile, "You take me with you, then I’ll believe you!"

What?

Ye Xuan froze, his eyebrows knitting together as he said sternly, "No! That’s too dangerous. Miaochan, it’s not that I don’t want to take you, but there could likely be a fight tonight, and it’s too easy for you to get hurt."

"Psh! Excuses, I think you are just feeling guilty! That’s why you’re deliberately not taking me, afraid that I’ll mess up your plans, right?"

Lu Miaochan pouted, scoffing coldly, "Besides, with your skills, who could defeat you? Even if a dozen strong men attacked at the same time, you would knock them down one by one! Are you really scared of just a few drug traffickers?"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes and said exasperatedly, "Of course I’m not scared of drug traffickers, I’m scared of you getting hurt, what then?"

"No worries! I’m not even scared, what are you scared of? I believe you’ll protect me!" Lu Miaochan waved her hand nonchalantly.

Damn! This girl, how can she be more confident than me?

Ye Xuan muttered to himself, then said reluctantly, "It’s not about the risks, it’s about the danger! After all, this is risky, I don’t want you to get hurt."

"Hmph! So many excuses, you just don’t want to take me, right? If you really don’t want me to go, then I won’t!"

Lu Miaochan snorted and turned to leave.

"Okay, okay! You win, I’ll take you, happy now?"

Ye Xuan said helplessly, and had to step forward to pull Lu Miaochan back.
