Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 314: Defection?

"No, I have to get out of here quickly!"

Chen Xiaobei made up his mind to entrust Qiao Shu and He Zixuan to Murong Xiaoyi.

He himself would hold back Elder Ming; as long as they could leave safely, Chen Xiaobei would have a way to escape.

Just then, he noticed Murong Xiaoyi’s left hand hanging down, covered in blood.

"You’re hurt; let me have a look."

"I’m fine, it’s not serious. Listen to me, I’ll hold him off, and you leave first."

Murong Xiaoyi said firmly.

"You can’t beat him, you’ll die."

Chen Xiaobei was filled with surprise.

Murong Xiaoyi remained calm, without the slightest fear, and said, "Life or death, what difference does it make? My cousin entrusted your safety to me, and I must fulfill that promise!"

"But remember, if I die, take good care of my cousin. If she suffers even a little, I’ll haunt you even in death!"

Murong Xiaoyi said through gritted teeth, staring at Chen Xiaobei’s face.

Chen Xiaobei rubbed his forehead and said, "Don’t be ridiculous. While I’m quite afraid of death, I don’t have the habit of hiding behind a woman to survive."

"Moreover, I swore in front of Qin Shihua that I would screw you over in this life. I can’t break my promise!"

"You bastard!"

Murong Xiaoyi was furious, wanting to slap this guy to death.

Facing death, and you’re still talking about this? Do you have any sense of crisis?

"Chen Xiaobei, shut up! In this situation, only one of us can survive. While I don’t want to die, I have to admit that your life is more important, at least Sister Yaoyao still needs you!"

"So, get out, now!"

Seeing Chen Xiaobei not moving, Murong Xiaoyi pushed him hard.

But Chen Xiaobei took her hand.

"Enough, I won’t let you die, and it’s not entirely hopeless. I’ll go hold off that old man, then you have Zhong Wannian and the others cover me with gunfire, and your target is Ye Shanhe. Capture the leader first; if you get Ye Shanhe, the deadlock can be broken."

This was the only plan Chen Xiaobei could think of. After all, there were over a dozen city guards here, their combat power negligible, but they had guns for harassment.

Though a Half-step Grandmaster is like a Grandmaster, they don’t have the protective Qi, so Elder Ming can’t block bullets.

Ye Shanhe’s strength isn’t strong, not even as good as the deceased Tai, so Murong Xiaoyi would find it easy to take him down.

Murong Xiaoyi realized this was the only chance.

"Then I’ll intercept this Elder Ming, and you go capture Ye Shanhe."

Capturing Ye Shanhe isn’t dangerous, but obstructing Elder Ming is very risky.

"You’re injured; I’ll go hold him instead. In any case, do as I say, or I’ll spank you!"

Chen Xiaobei said fiercely.

"You!"

Murong Xiaoyi frowned; she knew Chen Xiaobei wasn’t joking.

After all, this guy had bullied her terribly before, and Murong Xiaoyi still couldn’t forget that sensation.

Ye Shanhe looked at Chen Xiaobei and Murong Xiaoyi whispering, and said,

"Stubborn girl, you seem skilled, so I’ll give you one last chance: mind your own business, make things easy for me, and you’ll be fine. I’ll even apologize for any harm. If you insist on interfering, you’ll have no choice but death."

"Elder Ming is a Half-step Grandmaster of the Ye Family; even if you team up with this guy, you won’t stand a chance. I believe you’re smart enough to make the wise choice."

Though Ye Shanhe could kill Murong Xiaoyi, they had no deep grudge, and she was a considerable talent. Ye Shanhe was confident that at this point, offering such an olive branch, Murong Xiaoyi would definitely take the opportunity, stop opposing him, and might even be willing to serve him!

A smart person always makes the decision most beneficial to themselves.

"Alright!"

Murong Xiaoyi indeed pushed Chen Xiaobei away and readily agreed with Ye Shanhe.

"Since Mr. Ye has put it this way, I must give him some face. After all, this is your personal vendetta, and I’m only helping Chen Xiaobei to repay a favor; I don’t have much connection with him personally."

Murong Xiaoyi naturally distanced herself from Chen Xiaobei, subtly closing the gap between her and Ye Shanhe.

"Miss Murong is indeed wise; I owe you a favor."

Ye Shanhe smiled, clasping his hands in salute to Murong Xiaoyi, instantly turning hostility into friendship between them. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

This move greatly worried Zhong Wannian and others, especially Qiao Shu and He Zixuan.

"Oh no, if this woman doesn’t help Brother Chen, he’s doomed!"

"Sister Qiao Shu, what should we do?"

He Zixuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Qiao Shu’s eyes were bloodshot, her teeth trembling, wishing she could tear Ye Shanhe apart.

She couldn’t regret it more. Had she known Ye Shanhe was such a heartless person, she wouldn’t have made that call, bringing such trouble to Chen Xiaobei.

But it was too late to turn back time.

Resolutely, Qiao Shu declared,

"Xiaoxuan, I’m regretting it to death now, but I won’t let Brother Bei get hurt, even if it kills me!"

At this moment, Qiao Shu planned to use her life to threaten Ye Shanhe. But would a callous person like him care for his own daughter?

He Zixuan felt utterly powerless; compared to Ye Shanhe’s family, hers didn’t even qualify to shine their shoes. Moreover, He Yongkun now resented Chen Xiaobei, and wouldn’t help him at all!

With that in mind, He Zixuan focused on Zhong Wannian and shouted,

"Grandpa Zhong, what are you security guys waiting for? Don’t you have guns? Shoot!"

He Zixuan’s shout threw the scene into chaos.

The people Zhong Wannian brought along had nearly all participated in that mission in Yinwu City, deeply moved by Chen Xiaobei’s righteous deeds back then.

So with someone taking the lead, most of them raised their weapons.

"Mr. Ye, aren’t you having your men act? Emotions are high now, everyone’s defending him. If word spreads, I don’t care about losing face, but won’t your Ye Family lose face completely?"

Murong Xiaoyi said coldly.

"Miss Murong, don’t worry. They’re just a bunch of nobodies; it doesn’t matter."

Ye Shanhe said with an arrogant smile.

Chen Xiaobei greatly admired Murong Xiaoyi; it was one thing to be beautiful, but who knew her acting was so good? Even if she quit martial arts, she could be a movie star without a problem!

With this in mind, Chen Xiaobei felt increasingly confident in his plan!
