The Supreme Soldier King of the Lady CEO-Chapter 989 - 969: Unmasking in Public!

Shen Taoyuan's face was filled with panic. She felt an overwhelming murderous intent enveloping her, as if she were trapped in an icy cavern in the Siberian Arctic, the cold piercing through her bones!

"I don't want to hear your excuses, nor do I want your explanation. Hand over the item, or I'll take your life!"

Ye Huan was thoroughly fed up with this woman and naturally showed her no kindness.

However, he quickly sensed something was amiss!

This woman was not Shen Taoyuan! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Though her figure and appearance were identical to Shen Taoyuan's, there was a subtle difference in her aura. The seductive charm she exuded seemed contrived, unlike Shen Taoyuan's innate allure!

This woman was the maid who always stayed by Shen Taoyuan's side!

Ye Huan's eyes narrowed sharply, and he sternly asked, "Where is your mistress?"

Upon hearing this, Little Yuan's already pale face changed dramatically: "You... what are you talking about? I... I really don't understand."

"Don't understand?"

Ye Huan sneered and suddenly tightened his grip on her neck!

"Crack!"

A loud sound of bone cracking resounded!

Little Yuan immediately began to roll her eyes back, her breath halting!

"Stop!"

A woman's extremely anxious voice came from outside the dark room!

The woman arrived at the doorway, having the same appearance and figure as the woman in Ye Huan's hand!

The difference was, she possessed a seductive allure that the woman Ye Huan held did not!

"You've come out? I thought you'd watch your servant die at my hands with open eyes." Ye Huan chuckled softly, flung Little Yuan to the floor, and then walked to the door of the dark room. He stretched out his hand coldly, saying, "Hand over the item."

"Ye Hu'an, please believe me, I bear no ill will."

"Swapping Miss Jiang's hairpin was purely to verify certain things."

"Now it's okay, I'll return the hairpin to you, please hand it back to Miss Jiang."

Shen Taoyuan looked frightened, took out the hairpin from her pocket, and placed it in Ye Huan's palm.

Upon hearing this, Ye Huan almost burst into laughter: "If you're dishonest, you're dishonest. What's with such a low-level lie?"

"I'm not lying, it's true. Let me explain, the relationship behind my family and Jiang Shishuang's family..."

Shen Taoyuan hadn't finished speaking when she suddenly let out a scream of pain, clutching her reddened cheek as she fell to the ground.

"Slap!"

After the crisp sound of the slap resounded, Ye Huan retracted his palm, holding the hairpin and left a final remark, turning away from the dark room: "Ladies should have cleaner hands and feet; this time is just a lesson for you. Additionally, let me remind you, three strikes and you're out. If you dare to play any tricks behind my back again, I'll take your life!"

Watching Ye Huan's departing back, Shen Taoyuan seethed with anger!

"Miss, are you... are you okay..." Little Yuan ran over with a pale face, lifting Shen Taoyuan up.

Shen Taoyuan took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in her heart, and shook her head: "I'm fine, what about you?"

"I'm okay too, Ye Hu'an didn't actually intend to kill me, but he's really too rude; how could he be so rough with a girl!" Little Yuan stomped her foot indignantly, then helped Shen Taoyuan sit down on the sofa.

Shen Taoyuan's face was shrouded in gloom.

"By the way, Miss, how about the hairpin..." Little Yuan asked tentatively.

"I inquired, my father said the agate on the hairpin is half a piece of Separation Jade, and indeed Jiang Shishuang is the descendant of the Dragon Gate Jiang family."

"It's actually true?" Little Yuan exclaimed excitedly, "The Shen and Jiang families have always had a good relationship since ancient times, the descendants of both families are either companions or brothers. It's just that later the Jiang family fell and disappeared without a trace. Since Miss Jiang has been found, Miss, aren't you going to reunite with her, to ask about the current situation of the Jiang family?"

"I intended to, but now I have no interest!"

"Ah, why?"

"Because Jiang Shishuang's man slapped me! I grew up without my parents ever hitting me, what right does he have to hit me!"

Shen Taoyuan was gritting her teeth with anger!

"Well..."

Little Yuan felt awkward, unable to say much, so she chose to change the topic, asking with a face full of fear, "Miss, who exactly is this Ye Hu'an, to immediately see through me not being you."

"He is an extremely dangerous person!"

Shen Taoyuan's expression was both somber and serious.

She had gone through the trouble of swapping the hairpin, intending to take a close-up of the hairpin and send it back to the Shen family, for her father to see if the agate on the hairpin was indeed Separation Jade, to verify Jiang Shishuang's identity, and planned to return the hairpin after the verification.

She could directly reveal her identity to Jiang Shishuang, borrow the hairpin to have a look, avoiding such trouble.

But Jiang Shishuang was always with Ye Hu'an, and she couldn't find an opportunity to approach Jiang Shishuang alone.

Shen Taoyuan didn't mind revealing her background from the former Dragon Gate guarding family — the Shen family — to Jiang Shishuang, but she didn't want to reveal her identity to Ye Hu'an, fearing he had inappropriate intentions for the Fire Cloud Jade, worrying that once her identity was known to Ye Hu'an, a series of unpredictable consequences would occur.

Therefore, she could only resort to such a tactic!

If Jiang Shishuang was indeed a Jiang family descendant, she would openly return the hairpin and apologize, further establishing contact.

If it was merely a misunderstanding, it would be fine, she would find an opportunity to swap the hairpin back without anyone noticing.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shishuang discovered the swap too quickly!

She had no choice; to give her father time to research whether the agate on the hairpin was indeed Separation Jade, she had to use the Fire Cloud Jade to provoke Ye Huan and Jiang Shishuang into conflict, hoping to buy time.

However, the Fire Cloud Jade had no effect on Ye Huan!

Panic-stricken, Shen Taoyuan hurriedly fled from the third-floor cabin to the dark room, disguising Little Yuan as herself, planning to have her stall Ye Hu'an. Who would have thought Ye Hu'an saw through Little Yuan's disguise immediately!

How peculiar!

Shen Taoyuan was utterly baffled; who exactly was Ye Hu'an, possessing such terrifying abilities?

Not only ignoring the anger-inducing effects of the Fire Cloud Jade but also instantly seeing through the Shen family's millennia-old divine level Disguise Technique!

And that tangible murderous intent, through a door, she felt like she was being watched by an ancient beast, sensing a threat to her life!

In addition to his previous sharp judgment, insight, execution...

Shen Taoyuan trembled slightly, momentarily regretting her decision to impersonate the Great Emperor's assistant, chartering this cruise ship to "rob from the rich and give to the poor!"

Running into such a dangerous person on the cruise!

So young, yet so dangerous!

Only the term "genius monster" could possibly describe Ye Hu'an!

However, it's not too big a problem!

The renowned Talent Slayer of the Western Dark World, wasn't he planning to make a move against Ye Hu'an?

Shen Taoyuan glared, her pink fist striking the sofa beneath her: "Ye Hu'an, you dare slap me, huh? Tomorrow I'll find an opportunity to expose your disguise publicly, let everyone see just how ugly you are to the point you won't show your true face! I'll fight you to the bitter end, irreconcilable!"
