Chapter 1679: Like The Demon King, Satan Himself

Wen Xinya sat in the living room embroidering her peace charm. The television was playing international news.

During this period, she had been closely following all news regarding Iraq. The situation was still rather stable and there had not been any armed disturbances.

Nevertheless, she was still worried.

As this was no proof that Si Yiyan and Xu Zhenyu were safe and sound.

She remained steadfast in calling and messaging Si Yiyan once every day. The moment Si Yiyan turned on his phone, he would be able to receive her missed calls and SMS alerts and her messages.

So that he would know how much she missed him and worried about him!

To remind he had promised her not to get injured and return in one piece.

And also to return as quickly as possible!

“I can’t believe you also know how to do this.” Liu Yanhua was surprised.

Wen Xinya was already well-versed in the four arts of a Chinese scholar—zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Now it appeared that she also knew embroidery? What else was she not capable of?

If Wen Xinya was born in ancient times, she would have been an exceptional lady.

“I am embroidering just for fun.” Wen Xinya started to put her peace charm away.

Although Si Yiyan didn’t give her a clear indication as to when he would return, Wen Xinya had taken his “I will return when the peace charm is completed” words to heart. She truly believed in his promise.

This was because Si Yiyan had never lied to her before.

Liu Yanhua’s interest was piqued. She snatched the charm over. “What are you embroidering? Is it a snake? Why is it so wriggly like an earthworm? It even has horns on its head? It looks so strange…”

Wen Xinya took back her peace charm from Liu Yanhua’s hands. She looked extremely unhappy and sulky.

She was embroidering a dragon! It was a dragon! A dragon!

Important things must be said thrice!

Liu Yanhua didn’t notice her dark expression but continued to stare curiously at the peace charm. “Are you giving that to Ninth Young Master? I remember the Ninth Young Master is born in the year of the snake. But why is this snake as long as an earthworm? And with horns on its head?”

Long like an earthworm and with horns on its head. Such a weird-looking snake was to be a gift to the Ninth Young Master.

Ninth Young Master would dismay at receiving it!

“Why can’t snakes have horns? You are too ignorant.” Wen Xinya retorted unhappily. In those fantasy martial art novels, snakes could morph into dragons. What was so surprising about there being two horns on their heads?

Even so, she felt there was still something off with her own words.

Following that, she suddenly came to her senses.

Who was embroidering a snake?!

She was embroidering a dragon! It was a dragon! A dragon!

Why was everyone nitpicking on her?

“Is there such a thing?” For a moment there, Liu Yanhua couldn’t help feeling a trace of self-doubt.

Wen Xinya looked at the peace charm in her hands and considered whether to start over a new one or to just throw everything away. Her embroidery was so ugly that she would feel ashamed of giving it to Si Yiyan.

Si Yiyan was a dragon who dominated the nine skies.

This peace charm, with its weird snake-earthworm hybrid creature, was totally not good enough for him.

Liu Yanhua didn’t continue talking about her embroidery, but instead asked, “When is Ninth Young Master coming back? He’s been gone for over two months! This is the first time you two have been apart for so long.”

Liu Yanhua didn’t know what Ninth Young Master was doing or where he was, and she didn’t have the right to know.

Wen Xinya stared at the peace charm and kept silent for a moment before replying, “I don’t know. Soon, I guess!”

This was because her peace charm was already half-complete.

Moreover, she would try her best to finish it as soon as possible.

Liu Yanhua noticed her grim mood and didn’t continue asking. She just patted her on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, Ninth Young Master will be fine.”

Since Ninth Young Master left, Xinya had been rather despondent. Hence, Liu Yanhua could more or less guess that whatever Ninth Young Master was doing, it was probably quite dangerous, causing Xinya to worry.

Wen Xinya fiddled with the peace charm in her hand without saying anything.

“In the hearts of everyone at Lucifer, there is nothing Ninth Young Master cannot do. His existence is akin to a god’s, and everyone at Lucifer holds absolute faith in him. His power is without peer, and in this entire world, there is nothing that can stop him.”

As she spoke, Liu Yanhua’s voice subconsciously took on a measure of pride, respect, and worship!

Wen Xinya just felt her heart ache. Si Yiyan had to bear the responsibility of Lucifer’s successes and failures, as well as the faith of everyone at Lucifer. He also had to shoulder the responsibility of the countless lives struggling along the borders between Country Z and Russia, all of whom were trying their best to survive in a foreign land where their lives were constantly in danger.

Lucifer.

To many people, he might be the Devil King, Satan himself!

But in the eyes of others, he was the Redeemer!

He was the savior of the world!

However, in her heart, he was just the man whom she loved deeply!

She would not stop worrying about him just because he was so powerful.

Wen Xinya changed the subject. “Did you come looking for me for something in particular?”

Liu Yanhua also didn’t try to pursue any further. “Xia Ruya went to visit Ning Shuqian at the hospital. It appears that your conjecture was correct. I think that Ning Shuqian and Xia Ruya will join forces to further blow up the Wen Family husband-and-wife fracas until the Wen Family is completely unable to extricate themselves from that mess.”

Xia Ruya had long suspected that Xia Ruya and the Korean-Chinese Alliance had been fanning the flames behind the Wen Family husband-and-wife drama. However, Xia Ruya’s movements had been very discreet and difficult to track. As a result, Xinya had assigned people to keep watch on Ning Shuqian.

In order to successfully lure Xia Ruya out, they had remained passive the entire time this ugly husband-and-wife drama played out. Not even when Wen Corporation was in dire straits did they make any moves.

As expected, Xia Ruya had finally resurfaced to seek out Ning Shuqian. She wanted to further incite the Wen Family husband-and-wife dogfight and completely bury the Wen Family and the Wen Corporation.

Wen Xinya gently stroked the peace charm in her hand. Her face was grave. “Did you manage to track Xia Ruya’s movements?”

She had been quietly enduring the escalation of the Wen Family husband-and-wife drama. On one hand, it was because she owned too few shares, but the more important reason was to lure Xia Ruya out and track her whereabouts.

Xia Ruya managed to keep her movements under wraps for so long, such that even Gu Yuexi was unable to trace her—it could be seen just how secretive the Korean-Chinese Alliance was keeping their operations in Capital city.

If they could lure Xia Ruya out, they would be able to investigate into the Korean-Chinese Alliance’s operations and carry out their Plan S.

Liu Yanhua said, “I have limited manpower and I am worried about giving ourselves away. Therefore, I handed this matter over to Gu Yuexi. He has already taken over the investigation, and it appears that things are looking up.”

Gu Yuexi was an extremely meticulous person, almost as thorough as Ninth Young Master. There was no doubt that this matter would be better off in his hands.

Liu Yanhua was well aware of her own limitations and knew this investigation might be beyond her abilities.

Wen Xinya nodded. “I concur with your decision.”

Wen Xinya already had plans to hand this matter over to Gu Yuexi after they managed to trace Xia Ruya. She was pleasantly surprised that Liu Yanhua had become more diligent and conscientious in carrying out her tasks now.
