259 Mission Failure

You Lingling’s matter was resolved perfectly.

Ming Liuyi had nothing to do recently, so she focused on taking care of her child every day and made cookies.

One day, Yao Zizhou left the house in a hurry.

Ming Liuyi thought that he was doing this because of the company, so she did not ask anything.

In his car, Yao Zizhou asked Zhao Qiang to drive to an abandoned residential area. When they arrived, he got out of the car and walked inside alone. Not long after, he saw someone.

“Why are you in such a hurry?” asked Yao Zizhou.

“Yao, the mission failed,” Cui Xuan said.

Yao Zizhou immediately frowned. If that was the case, Yao Ziyang and Cai Rixi would escape. It would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to find them. Moreover, the two of them would hide themselves very well.

“How did it fail?” asked Yao Zizhou.

Cui Xuan recalled the events in disbelief.

He had sent out a few top-notch assassins, and they quickly arrived at the small town where Yao Ziyang and Cai Rixi were. The assassins quickly discovered that Yao Ziyang’s residence was surrounded by some of his peers. If they were to act rashly, they would easily fail.

The assassins hid in the town and waited for the best opportunity. However, they did not expect that almost everyone in that town was a subordinate of Niu Wu, so their tracks were quickly found.

When night fell, Niu Wu’s men attacked and eliminated all the assassins. Niu Wu had even used one of their phones to call Cui Xuan.

After Yao Zizhou heard this, he suddenly felt a little nervous. Where did Yao Ziyang find such a backer? They were actually so powerful.

Yao Zizhou knew how powerful Cui Xuan’s subordinates were. But they were all destroyed in one fell swoop.

It seemed that he had to strengthen his defenses.

“Don’t go looking for them for the time being. Send some people to protect my wife and child,” said Yao Zizhou.

Cui Xuan nodded and left.

…

Yao Zizhou returned home and found Ming Liuyi.

“Dear, don’t go out too often for the next few days,” he said to her. “If there’s anything you need, discuss it with me first.”

Ming Liuyi was stunned at first, then she asked, “What happened?”

Yao Zizhou did not want his wife to worry too much, so he said, “It’s nothing. Do as I say, and be good!”

Ming Liuyi nodded. After all, Yao Zizhou would never harm her. After making arrangements at home, Yao Zizhou returned to his study.

A few moments later, Zhao Qiang joined him in the study. After a few years of training, Zhao Qiang had become Yao Zizhou’s right-hand man.

“Sir, what exactly happened? Is there anything I can help with?” asked Zhao Qiang.

Yao Zizhou looked at Zhao Qiang. During these troubling times, not only did he have to ensure the safety of his family, but he also had to ensure the safety of the people around him.

“It’s nothing,” Yao Zizhou said. “Just manage the company well. Tell Wang Ke’er to go out less for the time being.”

Although Zhao Qiang did not know what was going on, he still nodded in affirmation.

…

When Zhao Qiang returned home to Wang Ke’er that night, Wang Ke’er immediately jumped into his arms.

“Darling,” Wang Ke’er said, “Why are you only home now? You’ve been so busy recently!”

Zhao Qiang carried Wang Ke’er and sat on the sofa with her on his lap. Zhao Qiang said, “There are so many things to do at the company. Oh right, Ke’er, don’t go out too much for the time being.”

Wang Ke’er looked at Zhao Qiang in confusion. Why did she have to go out less?

“What’s wrong?” she asked. “Did you offend anyone?”

Zhao Qiang shook his head, but he did not know what to say. Since it was Yao Zizhou’s order, Zhao Qiang still took it seriously.

“Don’t worry too much,” said Zhao Qiang. “Try not to go out as much as possible. If anything happens, call me at once.”

Although Wang Ke’er did not understand, she still nodded obediently.

The relationship between the two of them had become closer over the years, and the Wang family had also approved of their relationship. However, Zhao Qiang was busy with his career, so they had not gotten married yet.

“Then, if I can’t go out, can Ni Yan come over?” Wang Ke’er asked.

Zhao Qiang nodded. “Ke’er, I’m not restricting your freedom. It’s just that I don’t know what happened, either. President Yao told me to do so.”

When Wang Ke’er heard that it was Yao Zizhou’s order, she did not ask any further questions. Perhaps he had some business rivals recently and was afraid that they would use extreme methods to threaten the people of Yao Corporation.

After dinner, Wang Ke’er changed into lace pajamas and hugged Zhao Qiang from behind. Zhao Qiang felt Wang Ke’er’s warmth, and his mouth was a little dry.

“Zhao Qiang, do I look good?” asked Wang Ke’er.

Zhao Qiang turned around and hugged Wang Ke’er. He said, “You’re beautiful. You’ll always be beautiful. In my heart, you’re the most beautiful woman.”

After saying that, Zhao Qiang could not hold it in anymore and lowered his head to kiss Wang Ke’er on the lips.

Zhao Qiang carried Wang Ke’er to their bedroom.
