CHAPTER 263: CHAPTER 261: A LATE CONFESSION 10

The man known as Third Master sized up Ning Xixi, lazily puffing on his cigar, "You look a lot like an old acquaintance of mine."

The man with the scarred face stiffened, drenched in cold sweat!

He had intended to offer Ning Xixi to the Third Master to get him to squash the matter.

But now, could it be... that he had overplayed his hand?

Ning Xixi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the Third Master would let her off the hook.

But the next words from the Third Master obliterated all her hopes...

"One, whom I desired but never got the chance to be with."

"Song Weiyang, what’s your relation to her?"

Ning Xixi’s heart shot up to her throat.

This man... actually knew her mother!

"I don’t know her," she said stiffly.

Third Master’s eyes, sharp as an eagle’s, fixed on her, suddenly he smiled with a world-weary look.

"Third Master, about this matter..." said the scar-faced man with an obsequious, fawning smile. Amidst the swirling smoke, Third Master raised an eyebrow, "Keep the girl."

Ning Xixi bit her lip, "What you’re doing is illegal!"

Everyone in the room acted as if they had heard a huge joke, their gazes towards Ning Xixi filled with pity.

The man with the scar laughed wickedly, "Do you know who Third Master is? In Ying City, Third Master is the law!"

Ning Xixi despaired, was she truly doomed to not escape this catastrophe today?

She cast her gaze downward, silent in her desolation.

Third Master watched her small expressions with interest, as if seeing another person through her face.

A security guard hurried in, swiftly walking up to Third Master and whispered, "Third Master, there’s a young man outside looking for you."

"Who?"

"He said his last name is Ji, looks about 17 or 18, tall, with a handsome face."

Third Master pondered briefly, then said with a depth that concealed much, "The second son of the Ji Family? What does he want with me?"

The security guard looked up hesitantly, glanced at Ning Xixi, and with cautious words tinged with trepidation, he spoke, "He says he’s come to take his fiancée home."

Ning Xixi clenched her fists.

That Demon... has he actually come to rescue her?

Third Master snorted coldly, "He’s not old, but he’s bold, daring to cause trouble on my territory! Let him in, I want to see how he plans to snatch someone from me!"

The sound of firm footsteps approached the door, Ji Yebai arrived, dressed in a white shirt and black pants, his eyes dark as the deep night, cold and distant, exuding a powerful aura!

Third Master thought to himself, this alone figure still carried such posture and presence, Ji Yanzhi has taught his grandson well.

The scar-faced man’s face turned pale when he saw Ji Yebai, just who was this young man? How did he so quickly track them down?

Could it be that he unwittingly provoked some major figure?

"Do you think I will let her go?" asked Third Master, taking a drag from his cigarette, cutting straight to the point.

Ji Yebai nodded slightly, "Name your terms."

"Ha, you’ve got quite the nerve," Third Master said with an amused smile, leisurely continuing, "Had it been anyone else, I would have released her, but the Ji Family’s request is the exception!"

Ji Yebai probably knew a bit, that this Third Master had some deep feud with his grandfather.

But, for the sake of rescuing Ning Xixi, he could not care about that now.

"What if I insist on taking her with me?"

Ji Yebai said unhurriedly, his gaze meeting Third Master’s. In the air, their looks intertwined, a hidden edge in their silent exchange!

A smokeless war had already begun!
