"Dearie, you misunderstood. This time it's not our Shadow Squad that's after Mu Han; we didn't even know about this."

Izabella hurried to explain and added after a moment, "Dearie, I won’t hide anything from you. The truth is, the Shadow Squad no longer takes on any missions related to you. Last time, because of Qiao Xiaoqiao’s incident, we suffered huge losses. So our leader said that regardless of how much money they offer, don't take on missions related to you, since he knows there's no profit in it for us."

"But Bella sister, why did the idiot Satan still go and kill my wife" Summer asked unhappily.

“That was private work he took. It wasn’t through the Shadow Squad.” Izabella continued to explain, "Although our squad requires assassins not to take on missions privately, since Satan is the Shadow Squad's top assassin, he doesn't always follow orders and often takes private jobs for extra money."

"Taking private work earns more" Summer was a bit puzzled.

“That’s right. When we take on jobs through our squad, they are distributed to lower-ranking assassins, with the squad providing intelligence support and backup. However, the squad takes half of the fee as well. If it's private work, then there's no need to share money with the squad, so naturally one earns more,” Izabella nodded and said.

"Oh, the idiot was reportedly hired by someone for a hundred million dollars."

"Huh A hundred million dollars" Isabella was shocked. Clearly, she didn't know the price would be this exorbitant. No wonder Satan had accepted it privately. Even she might have been tempted to take such an assignment—earning from one task like that could secure a lifetime's worth of wealth.

"Sis Isabella, since your Shadow Gang didn’t take on this mission, will you continue to send people after my wife" Xia Tian asked again at this moment.

Isabella nodded without hesitation this time. "Of course not. This isn't a task for the Shadow Gang in the first place. If Satan hadn’t died, we would’ve settled accounts with him. Since he’s dead now, everything is over."

"Oh, that's good to hear." Xia Tian put his mind at ease. "Otherwise, I’d really have to wipe out your Shadow Gang."

"Little hubby, do you want to kill me and the instructor too" Isabella said with a coquettish smile.

"Of course not, but if there are still people in the Shadow Gang who want to harm my wife, I’ll get rid of them all except for just the two of you." Xia Tian spoke very seriously.

Isabella was slightly taken aback. Seeing Xia Tian's serious expression, she didn’t doubt for a moment that he could actually do it. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a bit relieved. If not for her and Xia Tian’s current special relationship, the Shadow Group might have really been wiped out.

"Knock knock knock..." The sound of someone knocking on the door came, indicating that the food had arrived.

Isabella, who was already dressed, walked over to open the door and pulled in the trolley with the food. After the waiter left, she started her long-delayed lunch and dinner with Xia Tian.

After finishing their meal, Isabella didn’t linger any longer but quietly left the hotel. However, this time, she left Xia Tian a number—a phone number that would allow him to reach her wherever she was.

The moment Isabella left, Xia Tian also collapsed onto the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Xia Tian didn’t wake up very early, but he wasn’t late either. Around nine o'clock, he walked out of his room and went to knock on the door of the room diagonally opposite him.

The door quickly opened, and Yun Qing's pretty face appeared before Xia Tian.

"Bad uncle, where did you go yesterday" Yun Xiaodong's voice rang out promptly. "Why didn't you come to find Mom last night"

"I had something to do last night," Xia Tian said offhandedly. He felt that this wasn't a lie since he indeed had something important to do, which was punishing Sister Isabella for him.

"Bad uncle, we're going back home!" Yun Xiaodong seemed somewhat unhappy.

Xia Tian was taken aback and asked, "Going back Going where"

"Of course we're going home!" Yun Xiaodong replied.

"Why are you heading home so soon" Xia Tian felt a bit downcast. "Auntie Yun Qing, aren't you supposed to return after the National Day holiday"

"There's an emergency over there that I need to handle," Yun Qing glanced at Xia Tian, his gaze evasive. "I've already booked a flight at eleven o'clock; we'll be heading to the airport soon."

Sister Yun Qing, you're lying to me! There isn't any emergency!" Xia Tian was slightly unhappy. "It's not right to lie to your husband!"

"Let's go inside; I have something important to tell you," Yun Qing hesitated for a moment before dragging Xia Tian into his room and closing the door behind them.

Xia Tian pulled Yun Qing into his arms, "Sister Yun Qing, don't leave. We can return together after some time!"

"I have to go back," Yun Qing appeared resolute; however, she did not struggle, perhaps because she knew it would be futile.

Why do you insist on going back" Xia Tian didn't want Yun Qing to leave like this.

"Do you really want to know the reason" Yun Qing looked directly at Xia Tian, no longer avoiding his gaze.

Summer nodded: "Of course I want to know."

"I want to avoid you." Yun Qing finally expressed her true thoughts and no longer claimed she had urgent matters.

Summer was a bit dejected: "Sis Yun Qing, why do you want to avoid me I'm your husband; you can't avoid me."

"You should know that I genuinely hate men and cannot accept intimate behavior between men." Yun Qing looked at Summer. "But I don’t understand what method you used to make me not dislike you, but I guess it has something to do with your medical skills. However, I'm unsure if this effect is temporary or permanent."

Summer was a bit confused: "Sis Yun Qing, what are you talking about temporary or permanent"

"What I mean is that I don’t know whether my dislike for you will be temporary or non-existent forever." Yun Qing looked at Summer calmly. "I thought long and hard last night and guessed your medical skills might make me temporarily not hate you, but who knows if a few days later, I’ll revert to how it was before."

"How could that be Sis Yun Qing, you will never dislike me." Summer appeared full of confidence. Xia Tian""Of course, he took advantage of me; I have to make him take responsibility!" Isabella laughed mischievously.Willow Yunman felt a headache come on at the moment. From what Isabella said, she...
