The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 988 - 968: Listen to My Explanation... No, Let Me Explain!

After taking a shower, Jiang Shishuang walked out of the bathroom, expressionless, wearing blue silk pajamas.

Her graceful figure, accentuated by the fitted lingerie, appeared so slender and alluring. Contrary to her enticing body, she exuded a "strangers keep out" cool elegance.

"Ye Hu'an, I hope from now on, you'll interact with me as if we have a superior-subordinate relationship. I'm the superior, you're the junior. You must remain loyal and respectful to me, understand?" Jiang Shishuang bluntly said to Ye Huan, who was tidying up the fire pit.

"What are you freaking out about again? Has your brain gone mad?"

"Your brain is the one that's gone mad!"

Jiang Shishuang glared in shame and anger, the cold aura she had disappeared instantly.

At this moment, her heart filled with greater annoyance as she realized she couldn't maintain her cool elegance for long in front of Ye Hu'an!

Forget it, slowly adjust!

With another angry glare at Ye Huan, Jiang Shishuang pulled back the covers, sat back on the bed, and picked up the hairpin, intending to place it on the bedside table.

But at that moment, her face turned pale: "This isn't my hairpin!"

Ye Huan froze in action, turned his head slightly: "Not your hairpin?"

"It's fake, a counterfeit!"

"My… my hairpin has been swapped!"

Jiang Shishuang's face turned ashen, tears instantly glimmering in her beautiful eyes.

At the same time, a sudden anger inexplicably rose within her!

She abruptly stood up, grabbed Ye Huan's collar: "You know where my hairpin is, don't you!"

"Hand it over!" Jiang Shishuang roared in fury!

Ye Huan didn't respond, instead carefully examined the hairpin in Jiang Shishuang's hand for a moment, discovering that the craftsmanship of the hairpin was exquisite and its patterns carved vividly, but the agate embedded at the top had issues—its cut too smooth, and the white streaky inclusions inside appeared unnatural.

A counterfeit with a 90% degree of realism!

"Give me back my hairpin!" Jiang Shishuang, like a raging mother dragon, her face contorted in anger, her eyes turning blood red!

At this time, Ye Huan also felt an indescribable anger and impatience, yet he understood Jiang Shishuang's urgency and rage now, because the swapped hairpin was the only heirloom left by her late mother.

He understood, but anger and impatience arose in his heart!

This indicated someone was secretly manipulating their emotions, provoking their anger!

Ye Huan's gaze turned icy cold, a tempestuous killing intent sweeping out, enveloping the entire third-floor cabin!

Meanwhile, outside the suite, a woman shivered, cold sweat dripping like water on the ground, her breath nearly halting. She hurriedly stuffed something back into her pocket and swiftly left the third floor of the cabin!

Feeling this person's departure, Ye Huan retracted his killing intent and quickly took the Soul-Suppressing Jade from his pocket, holding it tightly in his right hand!

Immediately, a fragrance that could calm one's mind spread out!

Soon, the blood-red color in Jiang Shishuang's eyes dissipated, and the anger on her face vanished.

"I... what happened just now? I'm... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to...."

Realizing how excessive she had been, Jiang Shishuang quickly released Ye Huan's collar, apologizing to him with deep guilt.

"It's okay, someone was secretly manipulating our anger. Don't be anxious now, carefully think, was your hairpin swapped before you went into the bathroom or after you went in?" Ye Huan asked solemnly.

"I'm hundred percent sure it was swapped after I went into the bathroom."

Talking about the hairpin, Jiang Shishuang couldn't help squatting down, hugging her knees, and sobbing: "I'm so stupid, how could I relax my vigilance? If I had hidden the hairpin well, none of this would have happened!"

"Don't cry now, crying won't solve the problem."

Ye Huan leaned down, comforting her with a gentle word.

Jiang Shishuang's tears flowed incessantly, her face full of self-reproach, hating herself for losing vigilance and not hiding the item well, her momentary negligence allowing the villain to succeed. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Ye Huan comforted Jiang Shishuang by patting her back, his expression fluctuating as he thought deeply.

The hairpin was swapped after she went into the bathroom, indicating the person who swapped the hairpin sneaked into the suite while Ye Huan heard Jiang Shishuang's scream and dashed into the bathroom, taking advantage of the situation to swap the hairpin at lightning speed!

No wonder a sea snake made its way into the bathtub in the suite on the third floor so high up—the drainage pipe was preloaded with the sea snake!

When the drainpipe was waterless, the sea snake couldn't crawl into the bathtub no matter how it struggled!

But once the bathtub was filled, they could swim out to frighten Jiang Shishuang, and hearing her scream, he would temporarily enter the bathroom!

This gave the "swapper" a golden opportunity to perform the act of swapping under the guise of the dragon!

Who could have orchestrated such a brilliant play?

Ye Huan thought for a moment, locking his target on Shen Taoyuan!

Shen Taoyuan was proficient in crafting counterfeits, her hands less than clean, constantly calculating against others!

The most important point was that of the seven Ancient Divine Jades of Dragon Gate, the effect of the Fire Cloud Jade was diametrically opposite to the soothing effect of the Soul-Suppressing Jade: inciting anger and loss of reason!

"My... my mother's hard life was all she knew, she passed away when I was very young, leaving no relics apart from this hairpin—no clothes, photos, letters, absolutely nothing. This hairpin is... is the only thing she left me and my most treasured possession. Now I've lost it due to my carelessness, and... I really don't know what to do, I'd rather die!!!"

Jiang Shishuang buried her head in her legs, her delicate body trembling with sobs, tears of self-reproach soon soaking her blue silk pajamas.

As her words fell, she suddenly jumped up, intending to crash headlong into the wall!

Ye Huan grabbed her, shouting sternly: "Calm down!"

After speaking, he delivered a hand chop onto Jiang Shishuang's neck, rendering her unconscious.

Ye Huan laid her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, then pulled on a jacket, his gaze icy cold as he exited the suite, directly heading to deck floor minus two!

Reaching the door of the darkroom, he kicked it open violently!

Storming into the darkroom, he immediately grabbed Shen Taoyuan's swan-like slender and fair neck, lifting her into the air, his gaze coldly locking onto hers, his voice chilling: "Three seconds, hand it over."

"You... what are you saying..." Shen Taoyuan's delicate face turned pale, struggling to breathe, her legs dangling above the ground, her hands constantly slapping at Ye Huan's hand gripping her neck, trying to break free.

Ye Huan didn't want to waste half a sentence conversing with this woman, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "You know exactly what I'm saying, and I don't want to waste words with you."

"You... let me defend myself... no wait, hear my explanation..."
