Chapter 1357: Arrival at Butterfly Castle / Fang Tian’s Romance

Incense! Incense that can cause hallucinations! Under the impulse just now, Xu Xiaobin didn’t have time to think about it, but now that his mood had slightly calmed down, Xu Xiaobin’s brow furrowed.

Prior to that, he had a rough idea but could not grasp it. At this moment, Xu Xiaobin came into realization. Previously, when we were signing the contract, wasn’t Liu Luyou decorating with incense in the conference room of the Huihai Business Club?

Thinking of this, all the questions in his mind were immediately confirmed. Why did Jing Xiaolu and Wang Hongcha review the contract multiple times, but there was still a problem in the end? It must be the incense!

It was only under the psychedelic effect of incense that the contents of the contract that Jing Xiaolu and Wang Hongcha saw became the contents of the contract from their minds before, thereby achieving the goal to deceive their eyes.

Hmph, Liu Jifei, since you are not kind, don’t blame me for being unjust. Now that I have learned about it, I will definitely tell Jing Xiaolu and let your hard work go to waste!

“President Xu? President Xu?” When The supermarket owner saw Xu Xiaobin staring out of the supermarket window blankly with his expression changing abruptly, he called out to Xu Xiaobin quickly.

“Oh? Ah, what’s the matter?” Xu Xiaobin regained his senses and looked at the supermarket owner.

“Here is the change and your cigarettes.” The supermarket owner put the cigarettes and change in Xu Xiaobin’s hands.

Xu Xiaobin put the cigarettes and small change into his pocket. He strode out of the supermarket and walked to his office.

Liu Jifei drove away, but Xu Xiaobin’s mood was very complicated. When he touched the handle of the office door, he was a little hesitant.

He and Wang Lixia had many years of foundation in their relationship. They knew each other when they went to school. It was quite challenging to maintain the relationship until now. He didn’t want to give it up.

However, he was afraid that Wang Lixia would deceive him! He had decided that if Wang Lixia confessed what happened previously to him, then he would certainly not blame her for her mistake. Moreover, he would cherish this woman even more in the future, so that she wouldn’t be hurt even the slightest. However, if Wang Lixia pretended to know nothing, could he really continue to stay with such a woman?

Although Xu Xiaobin had already determined that Wang Lixia feigned obedience to Liu Jifei, who could guarantee that this was the case? Various things could happen in the world. Everything could be changed before it was confirmed in person.

Liu Jifei had already locked the office door when he left. Xu Xiaobin took the key and opened the office door. After taking a deep breath, he strode in.

Xu Xiaobin worked hard to make his expression look normal as if nothing happened. He walked toward the room in the back. Before walking in, he heard the sound of sobbing from the room. Xu Xiaobin’s heart tightened, and he quickly sped up his pace.

Previously, he was afraid that Wang Lixia would hide something from him. However, he began to care about Wang Lixia at this moment. He feared that she might not be able to get over it for a while and do something stupid.

Pushing open the door at the back of the room, he saw that Wang Lixia was curled up in the quilt, crying silently. Xu Xiaobin was startled, and he hurried over. “Lixia, what happened to you?”

“Xiaobin … I have wronged you …” Wang Lixia looked up and saw Xu Xiaobin, but she didn’t stop crying; she cried even more instead.

After hearing Wang Lixia’s words, all the discomforts over Wang Lixia in Xu Xiaobin’s heart before him disappeared at this moment. Since Wang Lixia was able to say this, it meant that she did not want to hide anything.

“Lixia, you don’t have to say it. I know…” Xu Xiaobin’s heart softened, and he forgave Wang Lixia.

“What! You… know all about it?” Wang Lixia looked up in surprise after a brief moment of shock; she looked at Xu Xiaobin inexplicably.

“When I returned, I just heard your conversation with Liu Jifei …” Xu Xiaobin sighed.

After listening to Xu Xiaobin’s words, Wang Lixia suddenly expressed a frightened expression. “Xiaobin, you have to believe me. When I said those words, I lied to him. I didn’t want to be his mistress. I hated him enough to kill him!”

“I know. How would I not understand what you mean?” Xu Xiaobin grabbed Wang Lixia’s hand and smiled as he comforted her. “You wanted to trick Liu Jifei into exposing his methods. How would I not realize it? Otherwise, I would have rushed in a long time ago. I didn’t want to alert Liu Jifei inadvertently, so I resisted my anger and listened to what he said.”

“You … believe me?” Wang Lixia listened to Xu Xiaobin’s words as she sighed in relief.

“I naturally believe in you.” Xu Xiaobin nodded solemnly, and a hint of resentment appeared in his eyes. “Lixia, rest assured. I will get revenge for you on this!”

Wang Lixia wiped the tears at the corner of her eyes and reached for her mobile phone. “Xiaobin, I have recorded what Liu Jifei said before. Can we use this as evidence?”

“You recorded it?” Xu Xiaobin was immediately pleased. He did not expect that Wang Lixia had a backup plan up her sleeves! He was struggling to collect evidence against Liu Jifei. This is great. With the recording on this phone, Liu Jifei has no way to go about it even if he denied it .

“En.” Wang Lixia handed the phone to Xu Xiaobin.

“Although I’m just a child with a different surname in the Liu Family, I believe that Master Liu Jiangyan will definitely side with me this time.” Xu Xiaobin said with a grudge as he held his phone.

“Not reporting to the police?” Wang Lixia asked back.

“He took the incense away. We don’t have strong evidence. If he retaliates, I’m afraid…” Xu Xiaobin sighed. “Also, in this matter, if we call the police, the Liu Family will undoubtedly protect Liu Jifei. Anyway, the stain in the family can’t be spread. At home, the old man can take charge for us. If it becomes troublesome, the old man will no doubt find some ways to keep things down. During that time, our momentum is weaker.”

“Alright, I will follow what you said!” Wang Lixia nodded; as long as Xu Xiaobin could stick up for her, she would be satisfied.

The plane landed at the airport closest to the Butterfly Castle after several stops to refuel. Just after leaving the airport, someone from the Butterfly Family was welcoming them.

“Mr. Fang, Mr. Yang, the master asked me to pick you up.” The caller was Butler Mu Enping of the Butterfly Family. Yang Ming had met him once during the training session there.

“Hello, Uncle Mu!” Yang Ming greeted politely. Although he came here to back out of the engagement, there should be a minimum courtesy at least. As Fang Tian said, even if the marriage did not happen, the connection was still there. The relationship between the two could not be disregarded because of the disengagement.

Butler Mu nodded amiably at Yang Ming. He was very satisfied with the future son-in-law of this Butterfly Family from the bottom of his heart. Butler Mu was Elder Wang Songshan’s confidant. He naturally knew what happened between Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan, as well as the farce of disengagement. Of course, the final result was predictable. It was nothing more than Wang Songshan and Fang Tian joining forces to prank Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan. It was a bit of a tooth for a tooth.

He was a little amused after thinking about it. These two old guys were so old, and yet they were still so playful and bickered with the juniors. It was just that Wang Xiaoyan disagreed when he first proposed the marriage contract while Yang Ming did not treat it seriously.

However, even when Butler Mu thought about it, there were not many changes in Butler Mu’s expression. He couldn’t reveal any flaws. Otherwise, Wang Songshan and Fang Tian would hate him to death.

“Old Mu, your Kung Fu seems to be more refined.” Fang Tian looked at the spirited Butler Mu and was surprised. How long have I not seen him? It has been only a few months, and yet, Butler Mu seems a little younger!

Chapter 1370: Fang Tian’s Romance

“Aren’t you the same?” Butler Mu laughed. “People at our age will go downhill without exercising.”

Fang Tian nodded. Due to the special nature of the assassin profession, when people reached a certain age, their physical functions would deteriorate. It was tough to maintain their peak state. Whether it was Fang Tian, ??Mu Enping, or Wang Songshan, they would not be sloppy in their physical training at the slightest.

However, humans will age one day, and no one can go against nature. They did this just to keep themselves from going backward. It was difficult to make further progress.

Under Mu Enping’s guidance, Yang Ming and Fang Tian boarded an off-road vehicle. Since Butterfly Castle was located in the mountains, most cars couldn’t reach there. Only off-road vehicles could do the job.

“How did Old Wang arrange it?” Fang Tian, Mu Enping, and Wang Songshan had been in a friendship for decades. Their speech manner seemed more casual and didn’t have so many rules.

“You and Mr. Yang will stay at Butterfly Castle first. Tonight, the master will meet with Mr. Yang first; then, he will arrange Mr. Yang to meet with the Miss tomorrow. Both of you will talk to each other at that time.” Mu Enping ??still gave considerable respect to Fang Tian. After all, his identity was a butler. Even though they were close, the rules must not be broken. When he heard Fang Tian’s question, Mu Butler was a little amused. He thought, Didn’t you and Wang Songshan finalize this trip plan? Why are you asking me instead? Thinking about it, it was just acting in front of Yang Ming.

“Okay, sorry for bothering you.” Fang Tian nodded.

Yang Ming had no doubts about these arrangements. Since he had made up his mind to break off from this engagement this time, no matter how it was arranged, he would not change his original intention. For the Miss of the Butterfly Family, whom he had never met, no matter how beautiful she was or whatever, Yang Ming would not have any interest in her.

There were too many beauties. Yang Ming couldn’t marry everyone, right? That would be simply a joke. Even if the island he bought in Africa was big enough, he himself had limited energy!

“What about Mr. Yang?” Butler Mu asked.

“I will follow your arrangements.” Yang Ming smiled.

Butler Mu nodded and said nothing. The car drove all the way to Butterfly Castle. This time, Yang Ming came here openly. Unlike the last time, he suffered a lot on the way through illegal immigration.

After entering Butterfly Castle, Yang Ming and Fang Tian were respectively arranged in two adjacent rooms. Butterfly Castle had many vacant rooms, so Yang Ming and Fang Tian occupied two rooms.

After Butler Mu left, Yang Ming came to Fang Tian’s room. “Old Man Fang, what is this Butler Mu thinking? How come I felt that his gaze on me is so weird?”

Fang Tian secretly swore on his good luck. Fortunately, Yang Ming was just skeptical but did not see any flaws. His apprentice was really not ordinary. He was keenly aware of Mu Enping’s unusual gaze. Mu Enping most probably wanted to watch Yang Ming and Wang Xiaoyan, making a joke out of themselves in the end. Even if he disguised it well, he would seem strange inadvertently. It was because he accidentally revealed this strange gaze that he raised Yang Ming’s suspicion.

“Maybe it is because you came to back out of the engagement. Although the young lady is unwilling to marry you, they are still losing face in the end. Hence, it is natural for his gaze to be weird.” Fang Tian simply explained.

However, as Yang Ming heard Fang Tian’s reason was justifiable, he believed it. “I see.”

He was inexplicable deep down in his heart. The Miss in your family is unwilling to marry me, and I’m unwilling to marry. What is weird about having it both ways? Women are really weird. It’s like when you’re after a girl, although she doesn’t agree with you and doesn’t like you, if you stop the pursuit suddenly, her heart will definitely be a little uncomfortable . Therefore, Yang Ming had no reason to doubt Fang Tian.

“Yes, you’re better off. When I rejected Wang Songshan’s sister, the Wang Family’s people even tried to assassinate me!” Fang Tian thought about it with some lingering fear.

Yang Ming smiled after hearing it. “Your situation is different. Uncle Wang’s sister liked you, but you rejected her. They naturally hated you.”

“Ai.” Fang Tian was a little lost when he mentioned this. “If I did not reject her in the first place, she would not have chosen to commit suicide…”

“——” Yang Ming was a little quiet. Although he also knew that Fang Tian and the Wang Family’s master’s sister had some stories in between, he did not expect that it would end as such. Normally, Fang Tian rarely brought it up. This time, when it came to this, he mentioned it.

“Forget it. Don’t think about this anymore.” Fang Tian sighed and waved his hand, but there was an indescribable gloominess in his expression.

Yang Ming suddenly felt that there was something hidden between Old Man Fang and Wang Songshan’s sister! Does Fang Tian actually like Wang Songshan’s sister?

Although Yang Ming and Fang Tian were in a teacher and disciple relationship, in fact, among them, one of them was old and disrespectful, and another one was not respectful to the old. Hence, their relationship was like a teacher and disciple and even close friends. There was nothing to avoid between them. Yang Ming asked directly, “I say, Old Man Fang, you actually liked Wang Family’s sister in your heart, right?”

Fang Tian’s eyes flashed, and he looked up at Yang Ming in surprise. “How do you know, you little brat?”

Yang Ming just probed it casually. He didn’t expect to hit the target. He found it quite amusing. “I just guessed it. It turns out to be so!”

“So, you cheated on me? You little brat!” Fang Tian was stunned. He was angry and amused at the same time. “Why are you asking so much?”

“Just simply asking. I’m a little curious.” Yang Ming said, “Since you guys were in love, why not get together? Was your brain punctured?”

Fang Tian suddenly rolled his eyes after hearing Yang Ming’s question. He thought, You and Wang Xiaoyan are in love. Why do you still want to back out of the engagement? If my brain is punctured, you have water in your brain.

However, this could only be thought but not said. At the very least, if the plan was not implemented, the truth could not be revealed.

“At that time, I had a wife.” Fang Tian glanced at Yang Ming and said lightly.

“The woman who turned to Hu San?” Yang Ming knew that Fang Tian had a tragic love story. He found a woman, but this woman hooked up with Hu San. Hu San framed Fang Tian into the detention center.

“It’s not her; it’s my first wife.” Fang Tian waved his hand. “But then she died. A beautiful woman suffers an unfortunate fate indeed…”

“You had a wife already, but it doesn’t prevent you from being with Uncle Wang’s sister, right?” Yang Ming still felt weird after hearing it. “Moreover, if you can marry again later, can’t you marry Uncle Wang’s sister?”

“Do you think I’m fickle in relationships like you? At that time, I was quite loyal…” Fang Tian glanced at Yang Ming.

“Loyal? But, you left your relationship unsettled?” Yang Ming also rolled his eyes at Fang Tian. “You already admit that you like Uncle Wang’s sister. How are you still loyal?”

* Cough …* Fang Tian’s face flushed at Yang Ming’s words, and he coughed awkwardly. “Wasn’t that an accident…? I just didn’t want to hurt each other, so I chose to break up with Ruoshui, but I didn’t expect to hurt her.”

“Ruoshui?” Yang Ming heard the name for the first time.

“Wang Songshan’s younger sister, Wang Ruoshui.” Fang Tian sighed slightly as the figure of a beautiful woman appeared in his mind, making his heart tremble.

Yang Ming nodded. “Wang Ruoshui, it’s such a good name …”

“At that time, after rejecting Ruoshui, she left a note saying that she wanted to end her life, and then she disappeared…” Fang Tian smiled bitterly. “When I remarried, I had no news of her. There was no news about her life or death … ”

“Then, you didn’t look for her again?” Yang Ming asked.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Fang Tian said, “You know my connections. Even though I spread my network, there was no news of her.”

“She had completely vanished?” Yang Ming asked.

“You can say so …” Fang Tian nodded and sighed, “However, Ruoshui is also an outstanding assassin. If she really wanted to hide, I may not find her.”

When Yang Ming heard Fang Tian say this, he knew that there was still a glimmer of hope in Fang Tian’s heart, hoping that Wang Ruoshui did not commit suicide. But if she hid herself, there was still hope.

“If that’s the case, I really don’t know for sure.” Yang Ming hesitated a moment and said, “Hope is always good. Maybe Senior Wang Ruoshui lives in seclusion…”

“I hope so.” Fang Tian sighed and waved his hand. “Well, don’t talk about me; let’s talk about you. Did you truly decide to back out of the engagement?”

“Of course, for real. Otherwise, what are we here for?” Yang Ming smiled inexplicably after hearing it. “What do you mean?”

“Our coming here can also be used for the engagement, of course,” said Fang Tian.
