The villainous second male lead at the beginning? No! He's the white moonlight!

"What? The Dragon King of the Dragon King's Palace has finally escaped?"

"The Dragon King of the Dragon King's Palace is our real target this time! What's the point of just killing two terrorists from the Dragon King's Palace?!"

In a specially provided room at the hotel where the auction was being held, Wang Zhan listened to his subordinates' report, his face turning pale.

He never imagined that even with such a grand scheme he had devised, including a joint operation by the military and police, and a tight net of justice, the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace would still escape.

"Chief, we didn't expect this either. The other side actually had a sniper rifle, and they even thought of escaping through the sewers."

Zhang Qiansheng of the special operations team was extremely embarrassed. He knew that this time their plan was flawed. They had only thought about the surface and had never considered that there was such a trick as escaping through the sewers.

You have to understand, the sewers in China are not like those in other countries where people can live. Although they are not so small and cramped, no normal person would ever think of crawling into a sewer!

"Director Wang, we've provided so much convenience, and this is your reply?"

Xiao Ruoxi crossed her arms, looked at Wang Zhan with icy eyes, and questioned him in a cold voice.

At the same time, Su Shiyu, Luo Qingyue, Luo Qingxuan and others also gathered around. Although they did not speak, their gazes toward Wang Zhan were equally unfriendly.

Wang Zhan was under the intense, icy gaze of the women, and cold sweat poured down his forehead, but he didn't dare to raise his hand to wipe it away.

He knew very well that he had made a mistake in his command this time, because he had never expected that they could go down into the sewers.

"Don't worry, everyone. This matter is not over yet. I have already reported it to Director Liu of the Public Security Bureau, and Director Liu is in urgent consultation with the military."

"We've deployed enough men to guard every exit of the sewers. Anyone spotted will be shot dead without mercy!"

"That would be ideal; someone like that is the biggest threat to A-Yuan outside!"

Ye Xi replied with a similarly cold expression.

"Good, Director Wang. I hope you can keep your word, otherwise you know the consequences!"

"Yes, yes, Miss Ye, please rest assured, the Dragon King of this Dragon King Palace will definitely not let him get away with it!"

Wang Zhan kept wiping the cold sweat from his brow and nodded repeatedly to Ye Xi.

At this moment, his anger towards Lin Yan intensified.

Seeing that the pressure had been reduced to almost nothing, Ye Linyuan stood up and spoke.

"Alright, alright, everyone, Director Wang didn't mean it. After all, we all know the state of our country's sewers. This isn't a movie shoot, it's not like those bizarre sewers in movies where you could almost drive a car in them."

"It's understandable that Director Wang didn't expect the other party to escape through the sewers, and we can't blame him."

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan defend himself, Wang Zhan looked at Ye Linyuan as if he were a savior.

In fact, just as Ye Linyuan said, escaping through the sewers is just something you see in movies; it's impossible to do in real life!

Especially in a big city like Haicheng, the sewers are a maze of twists and turns, and you can't leave without a map of the sewers!

So he didn't even think about it at first, and naturally didn't plan anything in that direction. But it was this carelessness that led to the other party escaping through the sewer.

However, in the end, it was all due to my own poor decision-making, and I can't blame anyone else.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Zhan's resounding voice rang out.

"Young Master Ye, don't worry, I'll arrange a city-wide manhunt for the Dragon King of the Dragon King Palace right away. Now that we have his photo, he definitely won't be able to escape!"

After saying that, Wang Zhan led his men and jogged out of the conference room to arrange the various procedures and matters related to the city-wide manhunt.

After Wang Zhan and the others left, Ye Linyuan turned his gaze back to Xiao Ruoxi.

"Ruoxi, are you hiding well?"

Xiao Ruoxi was gazing at Ye Linyuan with affectionate eyes when she heard his question, and her ethereal and cool voice rang out.

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. I've completed every task you asked me to do perfectly. I've already had the Dragon King of this Dragon King Palace sent back to the Xiao family by my men and he's under strict guard. There absolutely won't be any problems."

"That's good. Ruoxi, thank you for your hard work. I owe you a favor."

Upon hearing Ye Linyuan say that he owed Xiao Ruoxi a favor, the others present instantly became unhappy.

Why should I?

Xiao Ruoxi did put in a lot of effort in this matter. She even put a lot of effort into setting up a scheme to let Lin Yan escape on the surface, but actually captured him in secret. However, this does not mean that others did not put in their best efforts!

That's unfair! It's so unfair!

The others originally wanted to criticize Xiao Ruoxi, but when Luo Qingyue spoke up somewhat displeasedly, everyone fell silent.

"Young Master Ye, what you're doing is far too unfair to our Qingge."

They would rather let Xiao Ruoxi take advantage of A Yuan first than Luo Qingge!

After all, Luo Qingge is too terrifying; we absolutely cannot let her continue to accumulate advantages!

Just as Ye Linyuan was about to say something, Xiao Ruoxi had already asked for a favor.

"Brother Na Yuan, could we use this favor now?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the others, who had been comforting themselves that they would rather let Xiao Ruoxi take advantage than let Luo Qingge continue to accumulate advantages, instantly forgot their thoughts and glared angrily at Xiao Ruoxi, including Luo Qingyue.

Feeling the envious and jealous looks from the people around her, Xiao Ruoxi really wanted to sing "Today is a Good Day" at the top of her lungs if the conditions allowed.

Hehehe, I got a favor from Brother Yuan, you guys didn't!

Therefore, I hold a much higher place in Brother Yuan's heart than you guys!

"Sure, no problem, Ruoxi, what do you want me to do?"

Xiao Ruoxi stepped forward and took Ye Linyuan's arm, embedding it deeply into her body. She leaned against him and whispered sweetly in a coquettish tone.

"They don't ask for much, they just want Yuan-ge to be their boyfriend for a day."

Fearing Ye Linyuan would refuse, Xiao Ruoxi quickly added.

"Brother Yuan, please, let's be lovers for one day."

Before Ye Linyuan could even speak, Luo Qingyue's face had already darkened completely as she coldly stared at Xiao Ruoxi.

"Miss Xiao, you are the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, shouldn't you know what face is? Is it appropriate for you to steal Qingge's boyfriend like this?"

"Do you know that what you're doing is called being a mistress?!"

Just as Xiao Ruoxi was about to retort that "your sister and his Yuan-ge are not even close to getting together yet," Su Shiyu, with a dark face, stood between the two of them.

"Miss Luo, how come I didn't know? When did our A-Yuan become the boyfriend of your Third Miss Luo? If I remember correctly, A-Yuan has never said that he and Third Miss Luo are a couple. If we're talking about a third party, then it's your Third Miss Luo who's the third party!"

"What mistress? She doesn't even deserve it!"

Ye Xi and Ye Xin jogged up behind Ye Linyuan and peeked out to mutter something to Luo Qingyue.

"If you ask me, if we include everyone who likes A-Yuan, then it has to be at least Little Thirteen!"

Thirteenth child?

Luo Qingyue and Luo Qingxuan's faces were as black as the bottom of a pot!

So, not counting Qingge from their family, there were at least twelve people trying to steal Ye Linyuan?
