My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 228: Chapter 0228: Tracking (Part 2)_1
 

The female assassin left the school and ran quickly toward the roadside, where there was a car parked with a woman waiting inside.

If Ye Xiong had been there, he would surely have been startled because the woman driving was none other than Angel, the elusive female assassin Phoenix had been tirelessly searching for.

No sooner had the female assassin gotten into the car than Angel drove off, speeding away from the scene.

“Angel, now I understand why you’re so afraid of this guy,”

the female assassin recalled the ordeal of having been caught and nearly dying, her heart still pounding with residual fear. “This guy is a demon, a thorough scumbag.”

“An Le, how many times have I told you to be careful? You said this was going to be a piece of cake, and now you’ve hit a snag,” Angel remarked.

“Who knew he would be so tricky, even to the point of…forget it, let’s drop it.”

“You didn’t let him take advantage of you, did you?” Angel asked in shock.

“Well…”

Catching onto the word, An Le suddenly remembered something and said, “Wait, An Le, you’ve told me that he caught you once. How did he let you go when you had no leverage at the time?”

Far from just taking advantage, her entire body had been thoroughly scrutinized by that man, Angel thought with grinding teeth.

“You didn’t… get raped by him, did you?” An Le asked with a laugh, seeing her expression.

“Nonsense, how could I possibly get raped by her.”

“Then tell me, how did he let you go last time? This guy is no saint; without capturing his cousin, he almost killed me.”

“I don’t feel like explaining. Just call the leader quickly and tell him the mission failed. Who knows how he will punish you,” Angel said anxiously.

“It’s fine, the leader is reasonable.”

An Le pulled out her phone and made the call.

“Leader, the mission failed. I got exposed by the other side… It was only after Angel captured his cousin as leverage that I escaped disaster… Yes, we will be there shortly.”

After hanging up, An Le said to Angel, “The leader wants us to go see him.”

“No way!”

Angel suddenly became anxious.

Ever since her former leader, Skeleton, had died and a mysterious person contacted her, bringing with her sister from a different mother, Angel had been worried about her own fate.

Although Skeleton had also frightened her, at least he had considered her a confidant, and she had been with him for a few years, which felt safer. Now with the new leader, she had no idea what his temperament was like, and if she angered him, it wasn’t impossible that he would have her killed.

“An Le, what kind of person is the new leader?” Angel asked with concern.

“I don’t know.”

“You’ve been with him for two years and you don’t know what he looks like?” Angel was somewhat incredulous.

“You’ve been with Skeleton for nearly a year, right? Have you ever seen Skeleton’s true face?” An Le retorted.

“Could it be that the new leader, just like Skeleton, is always wrapped in a black robe?” Angel asked worriedly.

“No, but he wears a human skin mask 24 hours a day, changing his appearance daily. I’ve never seen his true face, or rather, he may have used his real face, but I wouldn’t know which one is genuine,” An Le explained.

“What’s his name?” Angel pressed.

“People outside call him Ghost, and he has a nickname, The Man of a Thousand Faces…”

…

Ye Xiong drove, following behind with earplugs in.

During the skirmish with the female assassin, he had surreptitiously placed a tracking device with eavesdropping capabilities on her clothing, now listening in on the conversation between the two.

Ghost, are you finally going to show up?

He clenched his fist tightly.

Skeleton, before his death, had been threatened by Ghost. It was this mysterious person known as Ghost who had ordered the assassination of Sister Hua.

Phoenix had been searching for a long time but had never been able to locate Ghost. Unexpectedly, she bumped into him by chance.

This time, I definitely won’t let you escape.

Ye Xiong stepped on the accelerator, and it wasn’t long before he saw the female assassin’s car and started tailing it closely.

Just then, the phone rang.

“Cousin-in-law, where have you gone to? Why can’t I see you?”

“I’m out dealing with something and won’t be back for a while. Why don’t you take a walk around the school and familiarize yourself with the surroundings?”

After saying this, Ye Xiong hung up the phone hurriedly.

…

Guided by An Le’er, Angel drove towards the forest outside the city and soon reached the suburbs.

The two of them hid their car in a secret spot and started heading up the mountain.

Ye Xiong parked his car a hundred meters away from the assassin’s vehicle and carefully followed them up the mountain.

The thought of finally meeting the most mysterious Ghost filled him with excitement.

This person held a higher rank within the Beast Organization than Skeleton, and Phoenix had said that he might be the highest-ranking member of the organization in all of Huaxia. He most certainly knew the reasons behind the Demon-Hunting operation that year, and it was very likely that the deaths of the Reaper Squad were related to him.

His palms sweated with nervousness as he drew out Mo Bing. This time, no matter what, he wouldn’t let him escape.

From a distance, Ye Xiong saw the two female assassins walking up the mountain. He had already recognized the identity of the other female assassin when he exited his car earlier; it was Angel, the one who had tried to kill him but ended up being teased by him instead.

When the two female assassins reached the side of the mountain, they were stopped by someone.

It was none other than Ba Lei, the top expert by Skeleton’s side who had escaped from the last great battle, a tall and imposing figure.

It seemed that all of Skeleton’s close aides had been taken over by Ghost.

Ba Lei pulled out a device and swept it across An Le’er, and soon, he found a tracking device the size of a mung bean in An Le’er’s clothing.

“Damn it, you’ve been tracked,” Ba Lei cursed loudly.

An Le’er was shocked; she had never expected to be tracked.

By the time the two women reacted, it was already too late.

Ye Xiong dashed past the three people and rushed forward to a spot fifty meters ahead.

He had seen someone standing there, a silhouette with hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the cliff below.

This person must be the legendary Ghost.

Ghost, dressed in traditional attire, had his back to Ye Xiong and was gazing down the cliff, seemingly unaware of Ye Xiong’s arrival.

It wasn’t until Ye Xiong was about ten meters away from him that Ghost turned around, his gaze falling upon Ye Xiong.

“Two useless fools… you actually manipulated them without their knowledge,” Ghost said in a gravelly voice, indifferently.

Ye Xiong’s eyes fixed on the man’s face. When he clearly saw his features, his expression changed dramatically.

He would have never guessed that Skeleton’s true identity was him.

Long Tianya.

Seeing the face of the person in front of him, Ye Xiong could hardly believe his own eyes.

Why?

Why on earth is this happening?
