Chapter 560 Running faster than a rabbit!
Just then, Han Bin called:
"Brother Xuan, as expected, Big D is holding back, only sending a few men to observe at the border, hoping to reap the benefits! I've already arranged for people to keep an eye on them, and if they dare to make a move, we'll strike immediately!"
"Alright, keep an eye on them, don't give them any chance." Ye Haoxuan hung up the phone and said to the Crown Prince, "You take some men to clean up the mess here, bring the prisoners back to headquarters, and Brother Tachibana and I will go to the abandoned dock to chase the camels!"
"understand!"
The abandoned dock was filled with howling sea winds and the waves crashing against the rocks on the shore, making a dull thud.
Camel, accompanied by a dozen elite soldiers, stood anxiously beside a cargo ship.
He had received news that the entire force that raided Causeway Bay had been wiped out, and knowing that things were going badly, he just wanted to escape Hong Kong Island by boat as soon as possible.
"Master Luo, if we wait any longer, Ye Haoxuan's men will catch up!" King Tai urged.
Camel's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine, get on the boat. As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild!"
Ye Haoxuan and Tachibana Masahito were ultimately a step too late.
Left with no other choice, he sent Tachibana Masahito back, while he drove to Luo Huiling's residence.
"You're back?" Luo Huiling's eyes lit up when she saw him.
"Yeah, I just finished taking care of something." Ye Haoxuan walked into the house and smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen. "Are you still cooking?"
"I was worried you'd be hungry when you got back, so I heated up some porridge and some leftover braised pork from last night." Luo Huiling turned and went into the kitchen, bringing out a bowl of porridge and a plate of braised pork. "Eat up, it's still warm."
Ye Haoxuan sat down to eat, and Luo Huiling sat beside him, looking at him with tender eyes.
She noticed a scrape on his arm, quickly got up to get a medicine box, squatted down in front of him, and said softly, "You're injured, let me treat it for you."
Ye Haoxuan paused, looking at her lowered eyes and long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under her eyelids, and felt a wave of tenderness wash over him.
He didn't refuse, letting her take the cotton swab, dip it in medicine, and gently wipe the wound, her movements so gentle that she was afraid of hurting him.
"Does it hurt?" Luo Huiling looked up and asked him, her eyes full of worry.
"It doesn't hurt." Ye Haoxuan looked at her and said gently, "With you here, it doesn't hurt."
Luo Huiling blushed, lowered her head, and continued to bandage him, her fingertips trembling slightly.
After bandaging her wound, she was about to get up when Ye Haoxuan grabbed her hand.
She froze, looked up at him, her eyes filled with surprise and a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.
Looking at her flushed cheeks, Ye Haoxuan said softly, "Sister Ling, thank you. I feel very safe with you here these days."
He didn't pressure her; he simply held her hand gently, his eyes full of sincerity.
Looking into his eyes, Luo Huiling saw no ruthlessness from the martial world, only tender concern. Her heart skipped a beat, and she nodded gently, a faint smile playing on her lips.
She didn't pull her hand away, letting him hold it. At this moment, no words were needed; their feelings for each other were hidden in the warmth of their palms.
After dinner, Ye Haoxuan escorted Luo Huiling back to her room to rest, while he sat on the sofa in the living room, took out his mobile phone, and made a call to Han Bin.
"How's Big D doing?"
“Brother Xuan, Big D heard that Camel escaped and has already led his men back to Wo Luen Shing’s territory. But I don’t think he has any good intentions. We still need to keep an eye on him,” Han Bin said.
"Yes, keep an eye on it," Ye Haoxuan said in a deep voice.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Haoxuan walked to the window, looking at the rising sun outside, a resolute glint in his eyes.
The path of the underworld remains treacherous, with Big D eyeing him covetously, and Camel set to return with renewed force. But he is not alone – with his brothers by his side and the concern of his confidante, he is confident in protecting Hung Hing and everything he wants to safeguard.
Inside the room, Luo Huiling leaned against the headboard, her cheeks still burning as she thought about Ye Haoxuan holding her hand and his gentle words.
She knew that her heart had already fallen for this man, but she needed some time to let go of all her worries and walk towards him with open arms.
She believed that this man would give her a stable future.
......
the next day.
In the courtyard of Hung Hing headquarters, the underlings were cleaning up the traces of the fight a few days ago. Prince and Tian Yangsheng squatted in the corner smoking and talking about their plans to guard against Big D. Han Bin was holding an account book and checking the recent territorial revenue with Ah Hu. Everything was in good order.
As noon approached, a white sedan slowly pulled up in front of the door. Luo Huiling got out carrying a thermos. She wore a beige shirt and khaki pants, exuding a gentle and elegant air. She was also carrying a dark blue coat, which she had seen while shopping a few days ago and specially bought for Ye Haoxuan.
"Sister Ling is here!" The underlings at the door greeted her with smiles. These days, Luo Huiling often came to bring food. She was kind and gentle, and the brothers of Hung Hing respected her from the bottom of their hearts.
Luo Huiling smiled and nodded in response. As she walked into the courtyard, she immediately saw Ye Haoxuan standing on the steps making a phone call. He looked focused, and the sunlight shining on him dispelled some of his rough and tumble aura.
She didn't go up to disturb him, but simply stood aside and waited quietly for him.
Ye Haoxuan hung up the phone, turned around and saw her. His eyes instantly warmed, and he quickly walked downstairs: "Why are you here?"
“I made your favorite braised pork with preserved mustard greens, and some pork rib soup. I also brought some for the brothers.” Luo Huiling handed him the thermos and then his coat. “I saw you were wearing a thin coat the other day, so I bought you a thick one. It’s windy at night, so don’t catch a cold.”
Ye Haoxuan took the coat, his fingertips touching the back of her hand, and smiled gently: "Thank you for your thoughtfulness."
He took the thermos from her and led Luo Huiling by the hand into the lobby, their movements natural and intimate.
After spending time together at Sister Ling's place, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly ambiguous. No words were needed, and the longing in their eyes was impossible to hide.
Seeing this, the prince and others in the hall laughed and joked, "Brother Xuan, Sister Ling is so good to you, we're all benefiting from it!"
Luo Huiling's cheeks flushed slightly, and she subconsciously tried to pull her hand away, but Ye Haoxuan gripped it tighter and said with a smile:
"Stop joking around and come have lunch."
Everyone sat together, enjoying the dishes prepared by Luo Huiling, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.
Ye Haoxuan placed a piece of braised pork on Luo Huiling's plate and said softly, "Eat more, you've lost weight lately."
Luo Huiling looked up at him, her eyes full of smiles, and softly hummed in agreement.
This scene, witnessed by everyone, was understood without being spoken of.
Everyone knows that their brother Xuan truly cares about Luo Huiling.
