“Miss Yi, that would be too meaningless,” the man said. “Taking your life right now would truly be too easy. That way, there wouldn't be any challenge and that isn't my style. Hence, I thought I'd better inform Miss Yi first. Only after Miss Yi is on her guard and I finish my mission would there be a sense of achievement. What do you think, Miss Yi?”

“You might be too arrogant,” Ye Wanwan mocked.

“In terms of arrogance, I pale in comparison to Miss Yi,” the man retorted.

Before Ye Wanwan could say anything else, the man continued, “Please remember, Miss Yi, that you have three days at most. I will attack during any of these days. I hope Miss Yi will add some difficulty for me or else it'd be utterly meaningless to me.”

Then the man acted like a whiff of wind and swiftly opened the window and jumped out, disappearing without a trace.

At the same time, Ye Wanwan's frowned deeply. Just what was this man's background…

That night, Ye Wanwan barely slept a wink.

When the sun rose on the horizon the next morning, Ye Wanwan left her residence and headed for the Yi residence to seek out Yi Lingjun.

After listening to Ye Wanwan's reiteration of last night's incident, Yi Lingjun tilted his head pensively.

“Increase his difficulty… how interesting,” Yi Lingjun remarked.

“Don't 'interesting' me. Your daughter was nearly a.s.sa.s.sinated yet you're amazed here.” Ye Wanwan exasperatedly rolled her eyes at Yi Lingjun.

“What do you mean nearly a.s.sa.s.sinated? Aren't you standing here perfectly fine? I think this 'nearly' is thousands of miles from the truth, no?” Yi Lingjun said.

Ye Wanwan's lips twitched. Was this the proper att.i.tude of a dad?!

“That's because he thought it was simple and didn't want to act,” Ye Wanwan explained.

“Simple?” Yi Lingjun stared at Ye Wanwan, his lips turning up. “To me, taking you on is h.e.l.l mode and not simple at all.”

“Your elderly self knows nothing, alright?” Ye Wanwan glanced at Yi Lingjun. “That man last night came and went without a trace. His strength was absolutely, super top tier! I barely escaped with my life.”

Yi Lingjun nodded lightly and looked at her. “What? Should I mobilize a military brigade to safeguard you?”

Ye Wanwan's eyes lit up. “Of course! But a brigade is too much—a company would be enough.”

“Hold on.” Yi Lingjun pursed his lips. “After something like this happened, you should've gone to find that punk Si Yehan to protect you, right? Why did you come running to me immediately?”

Ye Wanwan smiled. “I'm currently Yi Yunmo. After an incident like this occurred, wouldn't it be a joke if I went to find Ah-Jiu and other people found out about it? I'd be disgracing your esteemed reputation! Think about it—something happened to your dear daughter, but she didn't come to find you and went off to another man instead. What would happen to your old face?”

“Old face?” Yi Lingjun furrowed his brows.

“No no no, young face,” Ye Wanwan hastily corrected herself.

“Alright, stop bootlicking me. This is a minor matter for you, so resolve it yourself,” Yi Lingjun said.

Ye Wanwan's lips twitched. Is he serious…?

Ye Wanwan wanted to say something else, but Yi Lingjun waved his hand and interrupted her. He stared at her and said, “Come on, take out your treasure and give me a look.”
