Chapter 483 (1/2)

The Group Hunt (2)

If assassinating Zhao Yarou wouldn’t bring so much trouble, Ye Lang would’ve killed her already. This was because her existence would always be a threat to him. Although he was a clueless person, he was very clear on this.

This was also why he was here in disguise. With his personality, he would’ve come to the empire as he was. Here, he definitely did not want Zhao Yarou to see him even under disguise so he hid to avoid her eyes.

Like right now…

“I need to go…”

Ye Lang realised Li Yue seemed to be looking for someone. Just as her gaze swept across where he stood, he disappeared amongst a crowd, leaving Li Yue crestfallen.

“Is he even coming?” muttered Li Yue to herself, disappointment painted on her face.

“What’s the matter, Captain Li?” asked Zhao Yarou asked casually as if she didn’t care much. However, it was rare for a person like her to even raise a question.

Zhao Yarou had been treating Li Yue well recently. No one knew if it was due to the Li family or because Li Yue was talented…

Maybe, just maybe, it was because Li Yue once rejected Ye Lang.

“Nothing…” answered Li Yue. How could she tell anyone she was waiting for a person? A boy too!

If anyone else knew about this, the news would spread like wildfire. Everyone knew her personality and how she treated guys!

“Oh…” Zhao Yarou did not probe further. It was already a very rare occurrence for her to ask a casual question, not many things in this world can interest her.

On the other hand, while Ye Lang was hiding, Coldblood Five couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?”

“I’m hiding. I’m afraid Li Yue might see me,” answered Ye Lang.

“You idiot, don’t forget what you’re here for!” reminded Coldblood Five.

“I’m here to seduce Li Yue!” he replied immediately.

“Then why are you still hiding from her? So what if she sees you? I know you’re afraid of Zhao Yarou but she would never let Li Yue bring you along in their hunting party. She doesn’t even know you’re you, Zhao Yarou won’t be interested,” said Coldblood Five solemnly.

As the empress of an empire, Zhao Yarou did not have the time to waddle in gossip and think about who her subordinates were dating. She wouldn’t even ask!

“I know but I’m terrified of that psychotic woman seeing me. I might die!”

“So what if she sees you? You think she’ll recognise you with just one look?” asked Coldblood Five. With his disguise, even his closest friends would not be able to recognise him.

“Did you both use to be very close?” She suspected the relationship between both of them might not be as simple as she thought.

“Nope, I barely know her!” denied Ye Lang. From what he remembered, they weren’t close at all. They’d spent some time together when they were children but they’d only met twice after they were teenagers. No, this was the third time.”

“If that’s true, what’s there to be afraid of?” huffed Coldblood Five.
