As this voice rang out, everyone in the room was startled!

Xia Mingyue instinctively stood up and turned towards the person speaking. Only then did she see, to her surprise, that there were two additional people in the villa. They wore matching black coats of a material she couldn't identify, but at this moment, both were staring at her, and Xia Mingyue could feel an immense danger descending upon her!

Facing these uninvited guests, Xia Mingyue attempted to remain calm as she asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

The two men, upon hearing Xia Mingyue's words, showed little to no emotional response. The one who had spoken earlier said, "Miss Xia, you don't need to know who we are. We don't want to hurt you. You just need to not attend tomorrow's briefing and delete all the data you've collected—nothing more."

On hearing this, Xia Mingyue immediately realized what was happening. In these last few days, the Zhen Tian Group's Minghai City branch was about to undertake an unprecedented major project. If they secured this project, it would not just slightly boost the branch's performance—it would be nothing short of a miracle!

Therefore, Xia Mingyue had been highly focused on this project, handling almost every step personally. She never took the visible competitors seriously but had always believed that such a lucrative opportunity would certainly attract others wanting a piece of the action!

The briefing was scheduled for the next morning. Xia Mingyue, who had been vigilant, let her guard down that evening, thinking that those meant to step back had already done so. But now, this situation had unexpectedly arisen in her own villa!

Subconsciously, Xia Mingyue placed the pillow in her hand over her laptop—the device that held all the data. Obviously, without that laptop, she'd be destined for a major setback at tomorrow's briefing!

"What if I refuse?" Xia Mingyue was a stubborn girl who had worked so hard for so long; how could she possibly capitulate now when someone wanted to destroy the fruits of her labor?

"If that's the case, then don't blame us if we have to play dirty," said the man with a cold laugh, and then in a blur, he disappeared from Xia Mingyue's view!

What?

Xia Mingyue was shocked!

The person before her had vanished in the blink of an eye?

But even before she could recover from her shock, her arm was suddenly grabbed. She turned towards the person holding her and saw it was the same man who had just vanished!

Astonished, Xia Mingyue couldn't comprehend how the man who had just been far away was now right beside her.

"If you cooperate now, we can still offer you a chance to survive," the man in black sneered at Xia Mingyue!

However, just then, the other man in black turned to his companion and said, "Why waste words on her? It's a pity not to enjoy such a pretty girl."

With a sway of his body, the other man in black moved next to Xia Mingyue!

Now with the two men on either side of her, Xia Mingyue really felt helpless. Although she commanded respect as a powerhouse in the company, at this moment, she was utterly cornered.

"Let go of me, let me go!" Xia Mingyue exerted all her strength, trying to break free from the man's grasp!

But strong-willed as she was, she was, after all, just a woman.

One man held her tight, immobilizing her, while the other started working on the laptop, glanced at the data, and chuckled bitterly, "High-level stuff is beyond me, but I still know how to delete it."

"No, don't—please!" Seeing the man grabbing her laptop and actually starting to delete the data, Xia Mingyue panicked, tears streaming down her face!

But the man furiously deleting files was unmoved and continued erasing the data swiftly, driving Xia Mingyue to the brink of collapse!

She had spent nearly half a month gathering and preparing this information for the briefing, and to her dismay, this person was just wiping it all away!

"You bastards!" Xia Mingyue began frantically striking the man holding her, as if she had lost her mind.

"Ha ha, little darling, you're so tempting," the man held Xia Mingyue tight, caressing her. "Our employer's intention was to kill you outright, but we're quite sympathetic. If you entertain us well enough, we might just let you live!"

Seeing his companion making a move first, the other man put the laptop down on the table, complaining, "Damn, you're being unfair! Let me have a turn first!"

"Finish the job first, then it's your turn to have fun after I'm satisfied!"

```

"Go to hell, last time we had that miss in Wancheng, you were the first to go. After you had your fun, damn, now you want to hop on first again? I'm going first this time!"

"Damn, why do you have to spill everything out, alright, alright, you go first. Next time, for sure, I'll go first!"

"No problem!"

```

The two men haggled for a while and settled on who would go first. At this point, Xia Mingyue was somewhat stunned, she knew that at this very moment, calling to heaven was useless, calling to earth was futile!

Always confident, Xia Mingyue truly felt hopeless today, so she didn't even bother to resist. Tears began to fall uncontrollably, and she started questioning in her mind whether her insistence on coming to Minghai City had been right or wrong!

First rape, then kill!

This phrase flashed through Xia Mingyue's mind, she could never have dreamed that such a thing would happen to her!

One of the men in black laughed loudly and threw Xia Mingyue onto the bed, immediately starting to strip off his clothes while the other man in black sat on the sofa, leering eagerly!

But at that moment, a shadow flashed, and an unknown object smashed directly onto the man in black who was getting ready to take off his clothes!

"Ouch!" the man in black cried out in pain from the impact on his head.

The other man in black immediately looked in surprise at the black object on the floor—it was a shoe. Then, both men in black instinctively looked up in the direction the shoe had come from, only to see a young man with a fair complexion leaning against the wall, acting as if it was none of his business, smiling mirthfully at the scene!

Ah—

Seeing that there was actually another person here, the two men in black were instantly shocked, and the one who was getting dressed hastily put his clothes back on!

For the sake of differentiation between the two men in black, the leader was referred to as Hei Laoda, and his companion as Hei Laoer!

"Who are you?" Hei Laoda immediately stood up from the sofa and shouted at Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao grinned faintly and said, "Who am I? What a fresh question, this is my house, and you guys want to play nasty games with my wife, yet you ask who I am?"

"Your wife?" Hei Laoda was suddenly filled with a huge question mark in his mind!

Nobody heard that Xia Mingyue was married, so how did a husband suddenly appear? In fact, not only were Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer puzzled, even Xia Mingyue herself was very surprised—when did she get a husband?

Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer exchanged glances. As for Ye Xiao claiming to be Xia Mingyue's husband, they couldn't care less. What concerned them more was how this man managed to enter the villa so silently without them noticing!

You should know, this is an extremely dangerous thing. If just now Ye Xiao had thrown not a shoe but a flying dagger or some other concealed weapon, Hei Laoer would definitely be dead by now!

Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer came out from both sides of the sofa, their eyes warily fixed on the young man leaning against the wall. What surprised them even more was that this young man seemed to not even see them, his smile not diminishing but instead gaining a hint of ease!

At this moment, Xia Mingyue thought she was doomed to be violated. She was the only person living in the villa, so whatever these two men in black wanted to do to her, she was powerless to resist!

But just when it was most critical, a man claiming to be her husband had appeared in her villa!

So, when Hei Laoer moved away from her, Xia Mingyue carefully propped herself up with her hands, peeking out her head to look behind the sofa!

She hadn't expected to see this. She certainly didn't recognize this man as her husband, or rather, Xia Mingyue wasn't even familiar with him—she'd only seen him once before, and that encounter had left her rather displeased!

Ye Xiao saw Xia Mingyue sticking her head out and meeting his eye, he grinned cheekily and greeted her: "Hey, beauty, are you really looking forward to my arrival, huh? Are you thinking of offering yourself to me? Don't be shy, considering how handsome I am, it's perfectly normal for you to feel that way!"

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Xia Mingyue was stunned as if struck by lightning. She couldn't believe how shameless someone in this world could be! When did she ever say she would offer herself to him? So, Xia Mingyue just buried herself in the sofa and refused to look at Ye Xiao again!

Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer felt nauseous hearing Ye Xiao's words, but unlike Xia Mingyue, they didn't bury themselves in the sofa. They wanted to eliminate that voice using the quickest and most practical method!

Hei Laoda and Hei Laoer, taking different routes but with nearly identical speed, rushed towards Ye Xiao. However, when they were about to reach him, almost simultaneously, a flash of cold light shone as each man's hand produced a long sword. The swords, like two poisonous snakes, thrust towards Ye Xiao's vital spots!
