Chapter 361 Falling into the tiger's den, with no way to escape
Wen Tingye's lips curled into a mocking smile, his eyes revealing a knowing look.
It seems that these people invited Yao Yao to the Si Gate not only to acknowledge her as a daughter and repent, but also to obtain the White Flame Blood Jade.
"Don't tell me the White Flame Blood Jade isn't on you. I've already seen the marks on your wrist," An Qiulu said, glancing at Ning Yao's left wrist.
“This is a keepsake left to me by my mother. She said it’s a jade bracelet that’s been passed down in the Luo family. I can’t give it to you.” Ning Yao frowned and defensively withdrew her hand, carefully covering the white line on her wrist.
"She actually claimed it belonged to the Luo family? What a joke! This is a sacred relic of the Si Clan!"
"I think you just want to keep the White Flame Blood Jade for yourself and refuse to return it to our sect."
Seeing that Ning Yao was unwilling to hand over the White Flame Blood Jade, An Qiulu's tone became less friendly, and her lazy and gentle voice began to become aggressive.
"How can you prove that this White Flame Blood Jade is your sect's sacred object?" Ning Yao wasn't so easily fooled. At this moment, she had also emerged from the emotions of just seeing her biological father. Her eyes were calm, revealing a wise glint.
"Does this even need proof? Everyone in the entire sect knows. You can ask anyone you like." An Qiulu put down her teacup, the movement a little heavy, the teacup making a jarring clinking sound on the table.
"Of course, everyone here listens to you and Si Longshen. Who would dare to go against your wishes and tell the truth?"
“I have already met my mother’s former lover. The purpose of this trip has been achieved. I won’t take up any more of your time. Farewell.” Ning Yao’s voice was extremely cold and firm.
Even in front of people like Si Longshen and An Qiulu, she felt no fear whatsoever.
"Without my permission, do you think you can leave after you've come?" An Qiulu slammed her hand on the table and stood up, as if she had become a different person. Her voice was sharp and chilling, and her beautiful eyes exuded authority.
"The sect leader's wife certainly has a big mouth." Wen Tingye curled his lips into a wicked smile and let out a cold snort.
He released Ning Yao's hand, stood up, and slightly adjusted the hem of his clothes with his slender fingers, his movements elegant and refined.
“I know who you are. You’re just the eldest son of the Wen family, the head of the five great families in the capital. You’re not qualified to stand here and speak to me.” An Qiulu had naturally investigated the background of the people around Ning Yao.
A tall, handsome man was Wen Tingye, the eldest son of the Wen family in the imperial city of Z country.
A skilled female bodyguard, whose name is unknown, but it is certain that she works for an internationally renowned bodyguard company.
"I don't think you're so ignorant as to not even know the origins of the Simen, are you? Our Simen's influence extends to the core of governments in various countries, and our wealth is beyond your imagination."
"You barged in all by yourself. Do you really think you can get out of here unscathed with just one female bodyguard?"
"Young Master Wen, don't be naive. I advise you to mind your own business!"
"Since this is my woman's business, how can it be considered meddling?"
"The sect leader's wife is indeed decisive, while the sect leader Si Longshen is just a figurehead!"
Wen Tingye's voice was steady and powerful. Although his eyes were fixed on An Qiulu, the barbs in his words were aimed at Si Longshen standing to the side.
Si Longshen was suddenly called out by name, and his body jolted.
He looked up at Wen Tingye, his eyes suddenly becoming somewhat timid, completely lacking the majesty of a sect leader.
An Qiulu was also intimidated by Wen Tingye's imposing manner. She frowned unhappily and sighed inwardly.
If she hadn't spent over twenty years in the Si Men clan and dealt with its elders and relatives, she wouldn't have had the courage to confront the man before her.
He's just the eldest son of the Wen family, how could he exude such a cold and ruthless aura?
The man exuded a menacing aura, and his voice was forceful and resonant...
An Qiulu had a strange feeling that this man had the iron-blooded aura of a soldier.
Did she overlook something?
"Men, keep a close eye on these men. If anything happens to them, or they disappear without a trace, you won't be able to live in peace for the rest of your lives. Do you understand?"
As soon as An Qiulu finished speaking, dozens of tall and muscular men rushed in from outside the door.
They were dressed in the distinctive black clothing of the Simen, and each of them carried a state-of-the-art, custom-made submachine gun.
Wen Tingye glanced at the guns these people were carrying, a smile playing on his lips, and said in a deep voice, "So that's why my men couldn't buy these guns. It turns out they were ordered by your Simen people."
"You do have good taste, it's just a pity..." Wen Tingye lazily stretched out the corners of his mouth, his thin lips sexy, his voice deep.
"It's a real waste that these guns are in your hands."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" An Qiulu didn't expect that a rich young master like Wen Tingye would know about firearms. She glanced at him suspiciously, but didn't pay much attention.
She will send people to investigate Wen Tingye's background again.
What good is it to be a capable person outside?
Once you step into the Si Men (a type of official residence) under her jurisdiction, you can't fly out without her permission, even if you have wings.
"I'll give you time to think it over. As long as you obediently hand over the White Flame Blood Jade, I'll immediately arrange a private plane to send you back to your country."
"Otherwise, the Simen Base is not a place you can just come and go as you please."
"Speak," An Qiulu said, getting up to leave. But when she saw Si Longshen still sitting in her seat with a stern face, her eyes suddenly turned fierce and sinister.
Si Longshen turned pale with fright at An Qiulu's glance, and immediately got up and followed her out.
The sect leader and his wife left the hall, leaving only a group of men holding submachine guns inside.
The other side had guns and quite a few people. Even though Guan Ying was skilled, she didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of causing her two bosses to get shot.
"What do we do now?" Guan Ying asked Ning Yao in a low voice, her face stern. She glanced at the people who were now surrounding them like mountains and asked in a low voice, waiting for her instructions.
Ning Yao never expected that Simen was such a den of wolves, and that her father was so spineless that he was led by the nose by a woman.
She took out her phone to call her family, but was stunned to find that her phone had no signal at all.
Ning Yao felt unusually anxious; without cell phone signal, they were almost completely cut off from the outside world.
She wasn't unwilling to hand over the White Flame Blood Jade, but she was simply unwilling to do so.
The other party clearly wanted to steal what her mother left her. If the White Flame Blood Jade was really a sacred artifact of the Si Sect, given Si Longshen's personality, how could he have so casually handed it over to her mother back then?
Without even glancing at the men with guns, Wen Tingye strode to the side and picked up a beautifully presented pastry.
The man parted his thin lips slightly and took a bite casually.
After chewing it only twice, he turned his head to the side and spat it out, raising an eyebrow in disdain and saying, "The chef here is really mediocre. It doesn't taste as good as what I cook myself."
"My woman can't eat this kind of low-class food. I'll cook for you myself at noon."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yao looked at Wen Tingye speechlessly.
Is now the time to discuss what to eat?
Their lives were already firmly in someone's hands, no different from fish on a chopping board. How could he have the leisure to joke around?
Guan Ying and Si Si were also taken aback, seemingly not expecting that such a serious-looking person would say such a thing.
