Chapter 509: Chapter 509: The One-Armed Woman
Ye Xuan instructed Lang Feng to handle the corpse and immediately rushed towards the Eastern Group.
He always felt uneasy inside, the appearance of that ghostly child gave him a bad premonition, as if something was about to happen!
The snake swarm had been dealt with, but what else could happen?
Wait...
Why exactly had the other side released snakes, merely to frighten people? Certainly not, there must be another purpose.
There was no doubt that the mastermind behind that little devil was the Ice Demon elder, but considering the old guy hadn’t yet made an appearance, could it mean...
"Damn it! Yumo is in danger."
Ye Xuan’s face changed drastically, and he hurried into the Company building.
At the same time, inside the Company’s elevator, a one-armed woman dressed as a cleaning lady and wearing a mask rode quietly towards the seventeenth floor’s Human Resources Department.
Ding—
The elevator reached the seventeenth floor. The one-armed woman looked at the floor number, grabbed her cleaning tools, and walked out, heading straight for the office.
Inside the office, Lin Tong was also there, discussing the current strategy with Su Yumo.
The two women’s expressions were grave. Lin Tong had just hung up the phone; she had already called the police. What puzzled her was why there were so many snakes inside the Company? It was just too strange.
Fortunately, they were high enough up that the snakes had not reached them before Ye Xuan dealt with them, so there was basically no issue.
Thump, thump!
Just then, a knocking sound came from the door.
The two women exchanged glances, and Su Yumo walked over to open it, only to see a cleaning lady standing outside.
However, what puzzled her was that the female cleaning staff only had one arm, with the other sleeve hanging empty, clearly an amputee.
She slightly frowned. How had such a person been recruited into the Company? Eastern Group did not seem to need disabled employees, especially not cleaning staff, as it would be quite inconvenient!
"May I ask what you need?"
Despite her suspicions, Su Yumo still turned to the one-armed woman and asked.
"Miss, I’m here to clean for you," the one-armed woman said with her head lowered, her voice deep.
"Clean? But I didn’t call for a cleaner."
Su Yumo frowned, feeling that there was something quite off about the one-armed woman.
"Somebody just called from here, so I came over."
The one-armed woman’s eyes flickered as she spoke with composure.
"Is that so?"
Su Yumo was startled and turned to ask Lin Tong in the office, "Lin Tong, did you call for cleaning just now?"
"I didn’t," Lin Tong replied, surprised, "Who is outside?"
"It’s nothing, just a cleaning lady."
Su Yumo replied and turned back, "I’m sorry, none of us called for cleaning services. Did you perhaps come to the wrong place?"
"Oh, maybe I did indeed come to the wrong place."
The one-armed woman spoke before suddenly changing her tune, "However, since I’m here, Miss, if you don’t mind, I could clean up for you anyway."
"Well... alright then, come in."
Without giving it much thought, Su Yumo stepped aside and let the one-armed woman into the office.
After entering the office, the one-armed woman set down her cleaning tools and made no move toward cleaning, her eyes flickering dangerously.
"Hm? You’re not a cleaner, who are you?"
At that moment, Lin Tong’s gaze swept over, and after a slight start, her expression changed as she spoke.
Lin Tong had some recollection of the cleaning aunts at the Company, but she had never seen this woman before, and certainly not an amputee.
Because, there were simply no disabled people within the Company, the ’cleaning’ identity of this person was highly suspicious, most likely an impostor!
The one-armed woman lifted her head, startling Su Yumo and Lin Tong.
Her eyes were a pair of green pupils, eerily reminiscent of a venomous snake’s eyes, cold and terrifying.
On her left cheek, there displayed a pattern of a golden snake coiled into a flower, adding a sinister charm to her demeanor!
Swoosh!
Suddenly, she lunged forward, reaching Su Yumo’s side in a flash, and chopped a hand at the back of her neck.
Su Yumo let out a pained moan, her body going limp as she fell toward the floor!
...
Ye Xuan sped all the way to Su Yumo’s office and found the door slightly ajar. Without hesitation, he pushed it open and rushed in!
The office seemed untouched. Lin Tong lay on the sofa, her eyes tightly shut, but Su Yumo was nowhere to be seen.
Without time to think further, Ye Xuan quickly went over to check Lin Tong’s condition.
He found she was merely unconscious, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
But then his brows furrowed again. It seemed he was still a step too late; Su Yumo had been abducted.
His guess was correct—the objective had been Su Yumo all along. All that previous commotion was just to distract him and seize the opportunity to kidnap her!
"Very good, I didn’t kill you last time, and you still dare to provoke me,"
Ye Xuan’s eyes flashed with rage, a deadly intent forming within.
A centipede dies but never falls down; if that’s the case, this time I’m going to chop off all your legs and see how long you can jump around!
However, the pressing matter was to find Su Yumo’s whereabouts and rescue her.
Otherwise, once the frost demon activates the Ice Cicada Heart Devouring Gu, it would backfire on the Yin Meridian Body, causing Su Yumo’s life force to slip away, becoming even harder to save.
Ye Xuan wasn’t very worried about this. He had left a special kind of energy inside her body, and with their spiritual connection, he was able to lock onto her approximate location.
At this moment, he needed to sense this energy to confirm its direction, so he could determine where Su Yumo was.
Ye Xuan closed his eyes and concentrated on sensing.
Shortly afterward, Ye Xuan’s eyes opened again, but his expression turned unsightly. From the sensing just now, he realized the situation was very bad!
He could sense the direction, but the energy response was vague, providing only a general direction and no precise location.
This could only mean one thing—Su Yumo was now very far from him!
Close to the edge of their spiritual connection range.
The situation was disadvantageous, and he couldn’t afford to delay any longer. Immediately, he woke Lin Tong.
"Ye Xuan... Hurry! Yumo has been kidnapped; you have to rescue her!"
As soon as Lin Tong woke, she saw Ye Xuan in front of her and urgently grasped his arm.
"I already know. Tell me, who came to kidnap her just now?"
Ye Xuan helped Lin Tong to sit up on the sofa and asked with a grave voice.
Lin Tong said, "I don’t know who she is, but it was a one-armed woman. She disguised herself as cleaning staff, but I saw through her ruse. She knocked out Yumo and then I fainted... I don’t know what happened after that."
"A one-armed woman?"
Ye Xuan was taken aback. Shouldn’t it have been the frost demon? Could there be someone else?
However, whoever it was, daring to set a snake loose in his wife’s company and abduct his friend, they would have a price to pay!
"Ye Xuan, who is she? Why did she kidnap Yumo? And what’s with the snakes in the company?"
Lin Tong, weak on the couch, voiced her lingering queries.
"Wife, this matter is too complicated to explain right now. I will go after Yumo; wait for my message!"
Hearing this, Lin Tong felt a bit more at ease, confident that with Ye Xuan around, nothing would happen to Yumo.
After swiftly speaking to Lin Tong, Ye Xuan immediately dashed out of the room, sprinting towards the stairwell.
No matter what happened to Su Yumo, he had to rescue her!
