Chapter 736: Beauty Often Brings Trouble Since Ancient Times

as naturally also perfect. Ye Shan was very satisfied with her current attire. Excluding those unpleasant things that just happened, she had high hopes for Lei Mu Xiao inside. She wondered if when he...Tong'en Xi carefully put away her teeth, and looked at her bracelet with confusion. "That's strange, why can't I press it anymore"

"Knock knock knock"—the sound of the knocking came again, Tong Enshi immediately put her toothpick into the drawer, closed it, and then quickly opened the door.

"Is there something"

"This was a gift from the old master to Miss Tong."

Tong En Xi stared at the paint tube handed to her by the housekeeper, "A paint tube"

"Yes." The butler nodded and then turned to leave.

Tong Enxi looked at the wooden man, who also seemed curious, and then smiled: "You're very curious about what's inside, aren't you"

"You're right," the wooden man said, his curiosity unrestrained.

"Well, then..."

The wooden man still thought Tong Enxi would let him see what was inside this bowl, but he was wrong!

"Then I'll just take it in myself." After finishing the words she hadn't said before, Tong Enshi saw that the wooden man was so angry he stood there speechless. She deliberately wanted to tease him, deliberately refusing to tell him what was inside the painting tube!

"You figure out what's inside! " Tong Enxi shut the door and opened her paintbox, taking out the rolled-up painting…

It was a split image, half of which she had seen in an art studio and the other half depicted her!

Originally, Master Du painted a comparison chart! It's really similar!

Tong Enxi casually noticed the two characters in the bottom right corner: "Genes." She murmured, it seemed Old Master Du had already guessed eight or nine out of ten, but just lacked the final proof!

She gave a slight smirk, looking at the other half of the woman, her mother...According to her father, it was indeed a sensation back then. All the bigwigs in the business world had their eyes on her mother, and some even went so far as to fight for her heart, turning against their own families. Her mother's reputation suffered because of this.

Perhaps this is what "beauty often brings misfortune" means.

In the study, “knock knock knock” the sound of knocking came.

Mr. Du, who was sketching in a photograph, immediately put down his pencil and said, "Come in."

"Master, they are back."

"Them" Old Master Du looked at the subordinate who had come to report, "Who"

"Little K brought people back." the subordinate replied.

"Xiao K" Old Master Du didn't expect Xiao K to return at this time, "Where's Ye Shan"

The subordinate recalled for a moment before replying, "I didn't see Miss Ye. Little K said there was something important and asked Master to go downstairs."

Mr. Du smiled, it seemed like everything was done, "Did he get what I wanted"

"Little K brought back a safe." I guess so.

Mr. Du raised his hand and signaled the man to step back. "I understand, you go down first, take Xiao K to the meeting room, and tell him I'll be there soon."

Yes, master.

Mr. Du carefully rolled up the unfinished painting and put it into its tube. He returned his pencil to its holder, then, leaning on his cane, walked out.

"Master Du," Upon seeing Master Du, the lone K in the meeting hall immediately stood up.

“Good, you’re back. You worked hard.” Lord Du nodded towards Xiao K. Besides Huo Ying, he liked Xiao K the most.

"Master, this is what you requested." Xiao K opened the briefcase placed on the conference table. In the vast conference hall, there was only Xiao K and Master Du besides himself.

"Did you find them all" Lord Du looked at Xiao K pushing the safe in front of him.

“Yes, but it’s a shame… Miss Ye…”

"Ye Shan, what's the matter" Old Master Du frowned, looking at the jewels and property rights certificate laid out inside.

Miss Ye gave me these things and then spoke to me.

"Oh What did she say to you" Old Master Du picked up the file and glanced at it, then asked.

"She said she wasn't coming back, so let me give you these. As for Tong Enxi's life, I hope Old Master Du won't be merciful and get rid of her!"

"Is she determined to stay by Lei Mu Xiao's side"

Little K nodded. "That's right. And I've tried to persuade her many times, but she wouldn't listen. It seems she's deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself!"

"Since she's unwilling to come back, I'll make sure she never can." After all, he already had what he wanted. Whether Ye Shan existed or not made no difference to him! But in the end, his choice was to eliminate the threat completely.

"Grandpa was about to..." Little K made a "snap" gesture.

"You don't have to worry about this. Just tell me how you got all of these things."

"Yes."

"Knock knock knock..." Tong Enshi, who had been staring blankly into the microphone, suddenly heard a series of rapid knocks on the door.

"Who is it" Tong Enshi quickly opened the locked door, and the two men standing at the doorway were strangers to her, "Who are you" She glanced at the wooden man guarding her, he was lying on the ground!

"It's me, Xier."

Just as Tong Enshi raised her eyes to look at the two men in front of her again, they both tore off their masks.

"Lei..." Tong Enshi rushed into Lei Mu Xiao's arms, but felt a sharp pain in her chest... This bit of pain she could still bear.

"Lu Feng, Ali, carry this man inside."

Lu Feng and Ali looked at each other, then carried the man inside.

"Put him on the bed and cover him with a blanket." Tong Enshi immediately stepped forward to help them loosen the blanket and cover the man.

"Go." Lei Mu Xiao quickly stripped the man in black. "Put this on."

"Hmm." Tong Enxi quickly put on her clothes, and Lei Mu Xiao pulled her hand, preparing to take her away.

"Just a moment," she suddenly thought of something, immediately turned back to get it, hid the drawing tube inside her wide suit jacket, and then left with several people.

Several people walked through the villa in an orderly fashion, "We'll go out the back door," Tong Enshi said recently, when she was cleaning, she found that the back door was the best place to escape because there weren't many guards there, only occasionally patrolling.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Good." Lei Mu Xiao glanced at Tong Enxi, then a few people followed behind Tong Enxi towards the back door.

Tong Enxi immediately pushed open the glass door. They were only a few dozen steps away from the back door, and they quickened their pace toward it. Suddenly, several men stopped them.

"Hold on!"

Lei Mu's brows furrowed, and several people turned around to face the man who had called out to them.

"Why didn't you come in through the front door" The man found the group of people rather unfamiliar.

"We have a mission." Lei Mu Xiao replied smoothly.

"Mission"

"The task Master Du assigned." He spoke again, "Do you think we can afford the delay"

The man was taken aback and looked at Lei Mu Xiao from bottom to top. When he lifted his head again, a handgun was already pressed against his forehead.

"If you dare to speak, I'll take your life."

The man clamped his mouth shut, too afraid to speak. Lei Mu Xiao with a swift backhand knocked him unconscious.

"Go."

Several people hurriedly ran toward the outside. Behind the villa was an expanse of abandoned farmland, overgrown with weeds, stretching as far as the eye could see!

"Allie, quickly use the positioning system to tell Guanjing our exact location."

They had been running for a long time, and if they kept running at this pace, they would surely exhaust themselves without even escaping this desolate field.

Suddenly, the echoing alarm in the sky made Tong Enshi realize something was wrong. She had lived in this villa for so long, she had heard this alarm sound before! It was the same alarm that echoed in the villa when she snuck into the studio!

"Bad! They've discovered I'm not in the room." The alert sent a wave of panic through the entire mansion, every expert on hand preparing for a full-scale siege to capture her!

"Damn it." Lei Mu Xiao cursed under his breath, several people crouching in the field overgrown with weeds.

Ali and Lu Feng each drew their guns, ready to shoot if anyone approached.

"Just wait a little longer, Guan Yu will be here soon." It's unwise to act rashly. If we fire now, it would expose our position.

Lei Mu Xiao held Tong En Xi's small hand tightly, placing it on his lips and giving it a kiss. This was her... this was the Xi Er he loved!

Tong Enxi looked at Lei Mushao with a sweet smile, but suddenly… her heart clenched painfully… Her face paled. Lei Mushao saw that something was wrong with her, “Xi’er Xi’er”

"I... I'm fine." She held back, biting her lower lip so tightly that Lei Mu Xiao felt a pang of heartache.

"Xier" Lei Mu Xiao swiftly pulled her into his embrace. This action, however, intensified the pain in Tong En Xi's heart. The feeling of tightening and throbbing was difficult for her to bear...."Xier What's wrong with you Xier!"

"I..." She couldn't even utter a word before she fainted into his arms.

"Young mistress!" Both Ali and Lu Feng were startled, not expecting Tong Enshi to suddenly faint. Ali quickly picked up the paint tube that had fallen to the ground, put it on his back, and said again, "Master Lei, what should we do now"ction, she just did as she was told!"Ah!" Xiaoya cried out, "I'm sorry, madam, it wasn't intentional, it was...""How could you be so careless" Su Yaqin's face was expressionless, and her reproachful t...
