Lauren did not want to anger him at this juncture.

“That’s my friend. There’s nothing between us. If you’re angry about this, why don’t you discipline your younger brother properly!”

A powerful dragon could not crush a snake in its old haunts. In the absence of weapons and equipment, she was indeed no match for Xiao Ye. However, she could not drag Tom into this.

“Whether I discipline Xiao Mu or not is a family matter of the Xiao family. You, Lauren, are now Xiao Ye’s wife. I will not allow you to do whatever you want here!”

Xiao Ye’s thin lips moved, and his voice was cold.

Just like that, Lauren was taken away.

Tom did not see Lauren when he came over, and he could not contact her on the phone. His instinct was that something had happened to Lauren!

Naturally, he could not just watch Lauren get into trouble. However, before he could do anything, he was already surrounded by Xiao Ye’s men.

Xiao Ye had a gun in his hand. At this moment, they were in the hospital. Tom instinctively did not resist.

He was up against Xiao Ye. Although Xiao Ye was wearing a mask and his face could not be seen, and he was also sitting in a wheelchair, the aura of a king that he exuded was not to be ignored.

“Did you capture the Boss?” Tom used broken Chinese.

Xiao Ye narrowed his eyes and sized up the man in front of him. He was very tall and had a scar on his forehead. However, this did not affect his appearance.

There was also a long scar on his arm.

“When did Lauren become your boss?” Xiao Ye said coldly, but the coldness in his eyes could not be ignored.

Tom had always called Lauren “Boss”. He knew her code name and he also knew her real name.

When the man in front of him asked, Tom had a hunch that the relationship between the man and his boss was not simple.

“Where is my boss now? If you are only targeting me, I am at your disposal. Let my Boss go.” Tom’s face was cold and did not show any fear.

While Tom was talking, he quickly rushed towards Xiao Ye, but Xiao Ye shot him in the knee.

It was a silencer gun. Tom did not expect that. A sharp pain came from his knee, and he fell to the ground.

Xiao Ye gave a look and four people came forward to detain Tom.

Tom was not Lauren. He would not be merciful to Tom!

“Answer me. I don’t want to repeat myself!”

Xiao Ye berated him harshly. He had no patience.

Assassins like them had gone through strict training. If they were arrested while carrying out a mission, they would rather die than reveal the mission at all.

Tom was determined to die, but he could not let his Boss die.

“She has always been my boss. If you want to target me, then come at me. I…”

“Take him away!” Xiao Ye ordered his men. He did not want to listen to Tom anymore.

Before he left, Xiao Ye also left a few bodyguards by Grandma’s side.

..

When Lauren saw Xiao Ye again, it was two hours later.

Looking at the hostility on his face, Lauren had already predicted the current situation. Tom had already been captured by Xiao Ye, and Xiao Ye had even hurt Tom.

“Xiao Ye, do you have to go this far? If you don’t believe me, I’ll go to the hospital with you to do a check and see if I’ve been unfaithful. Release my friend!”

Lauren rushed forward and stood angrily in front of Xiao Ye, her hands on her hips.

She was already prepared. If Xiao Ye did not let her go, then she would die together with him!

She would rather die than be blackmailed by this man!

“I can let him go. Lauren, tell me, why did he say that you have always been his boss? Why do you know the Miracle Doctor Hundred Herbs? Why…”

“Why do you have so many whys? Do you have a hundred thousand whys?” Lauren suddenly became angry. Even if he had a hundred thousand whys, she was not Google.

Xiao Ye did not say anything, but he glared at Lauren.

Lauren kept quiet. It was not because she was afraid of Xiao Ye, but because Tom was now in his hands.

“By chance, Tom became my little brother. Isn’t that good? Just like when you go out sometimes, you meet someone, and that person becomes your good friend. Isn’t that the same logic?”

Lauren was making things up.

“Is that so?” Xiao Ye was not that easy to fool.

Lauren deliberately raised her voice and asked, “Then what else? Do I have the ability to fly to a foreign country to meet them? Xiao Ye, if you’re so wary, why don’t you just set me free? And I promise you, I’ll ask my friend to cure your legs.”

“Everyone knows that I married you. If I set you free, will you pay for the 200 million?” Initially, he did think of setting Lauren free, but now Xiao Ye did not want to.

This woman dared to provoke him. How could he let her go so easily?

“… Xiao Ye, don’t you think that you are going back on your words? You are really…” Lauren was really angry.

How could one be so shameless?

“I AM going back on my word..”
