Chapter 220: Chapter 219: The Most Expensive Rose in History _1

Looking at the man’s desolate demeanor,

Yan Ling thought that it would be better to clarify certain issues.

It would dispel his overthinking.

She turned to face him, her expression serious, "Qi Yunjue, I..."

A pleasant ringtone interrupted what Yan Ling was about to say. It was Qi Yunjue’s phone.

Upon seeing the flashing strange number on the phone screen, Qi Yunjue frowned. He intended to hang up but a moment before he did, he suddenly remembered something. He said to Yan Ling, "It’s late. You should rest. We can talk about what’s bothering you when you come to my house tomorrow."

Although she was rather upset about being interrupted midway through her speech, Yan Ling could tell that something was off with Qi Yunjue’s demeanor.

He seemed eager to leave.

Well, there would be other opportunities to say what she wanted to say later.

"Alright," she said.

Instead of leaving immediately after picking up his phone, Qi Yunjue carefully closed all the open windows for Yan Ling and instructed her, "Don’t open the door for anyone who knocks at night, no matter who it is."

Yan Ling thought he was worried about Fleck knocking on the door rashly like he had tonight. She didn’t overthink it and just nodded.

"Goodnight."

After saying this, the man came over to her, leaned down, and tenderly kissed her forehead before finally turning to leave.

Touching her forehead, which still retained some warmth, Yan Ling’s face was both hot and red.

She couldn’t help but walk to the window. Only after she saw him get into the car downstairs did she take out her phone to send a message to her elder martial brother.

...

After getting into the car, Qi Yunjue’s demeanor instantly became cold.

Looking at the still fluctuating numbers on the phone screen, his dark eyes were filled with an overwhelming murderous intent.

He pressed the answer button, and an earsplitting scratchy noise came from the other end.

Thirty seconds passed with no one speaking but the hissing metallic noise.

Anyone who didn’t know better might think it was a wrong number.

But Qi Yunjue knew exactly who was on the other end.

Under the hazy neon lights outside the car window, the man’s lips parted slightly.

Then, a cold and bone-chilling voice echoed into the quiet night.

"Black Python, it’s been a while!"

A strange laughter came from the other end, one that made one’s blood run cold, "I didn’t expect Lord Qi to still be as perceptive as ever after retiring from the organization six years ago. Quite admirable, really."

Sitting upright in the car, Qi Yunjue carried an imposing aura, almost like an emperor.

He spoke indifferently, "I’ve been waiting for you for quite a while."

At this, the laughter from the other end grew even more wild.

"Lord Qi, are you seeking revenge for me breaking your arms years ago? What a coincidence, I too seek revenge for the broken arms from back then. You were invincible back then, but now you have a weakness. It seems I have the upper hand in this battle!"

Qi Yunjue chuckled lightly, as though he was mocking the man’s naivety.

"You’re nothing but a rat hiding in darkness. Aside from talking tough, what else can you do?"

As expected, the man on the other end of the phone was infuriated by such blatant provocation.

"Qi Yunjue, what’s making you so confident? Just you wait, soon enough I’ll show you what it feels like to lose the person you care about most."

After saying that, there was a beeping sound from the phone, and the call ended.

Qi Yunjue put down his phone and straightened his shirt.

Suddenly, a voice reached his ears, "Lord Qi, we’ve tracked Black Python’s approximate location. He is currently in J City, about 500 kilometers away from the Capital."

"Keep a close watch on him. Also, have Gao Chong and Pang Yu guard her around the clock. Ensure her safety at any cost."

"Yes."

"Also, give away those 10,000 Julia Roses I ordered earlier. I don’t need them anymore."

Upon hearing this, Assistant Jin’s expression became stiff.

Didn’t he say that the lady liked flowers?

Why would Lord Qi suddenly want to give them away?

Besides, each Julia Rose was incredibly valuable. Wouldn’t it be a pity to just give them away?

Although Assistant Jin was questioning in his mind, he did not dare to ask aloud.

He quietly said, "Understood," and then hung up the phone.
