Chapter 476: Chapter 476
She wanted to tame him into a dog by her side and subject him to the utmost humiliation. How could he possibly let such a person go?
And besides, every enemy who had ever seen his face behind the mask was no longer in this world.
"Since that’s the case, I can let you die a little more swiftly."
Mu Yunlie reached out his hand, and a force pulled Vanessa towards him.
His long fingers, well defined at the joints, clasped Vanessa’s neck.
With a fierce exertion of force, there was a "crack."
Vanessa’s neck broke with the sound.
Mu Yunlie indifferently threw aside Vanessa’s limp body, his eyes as malevolent as a hellish Shura.
Taking a deep breath, he adjusted himself before walking out.
Yan Qianyi hurried over, raised her hand, and gestured across her own neck, "Commander, did you just ’snap’ her?"
Mu Yunlie nodded slightly.
Yan Qianyi smiled, "Actually, you didn’t need to ask me to step aside. I’ve seen plenty of scenes ."
But Mu Yunlie’s brows were tightly furrowed.
Indeed, the "Catwoman" before him had killed more than a few people.
He looked at her slightly swollen abdomen and said in a deep voice, "Aren’t you afraid that witnessing such a bloody scene is bad for the fetus in your womb as a pregnant woman?"
He hadn’t expected that she would come to the Morris Empire for him.
He was touched but also angry.
Despite being pregnant, she disregarded the safety of herself and the baby!
Yan Qianyi quickly covered her stomach and retracted it, "I’m not pregnant; I’ve just overeaten and got a bloated belly."
She had intended to wear loose clothing to conceal her pregnant belly.
But loose clothing was really inconvenient for moving about.
She had seen some slightly overweight girls whose lower bellies would protrude when they wore tight clothes.
Mu Yunlie’s lips curved up slightly.
If she hadn’t called out "Ah Lie" when she came in just now, he would have believed her excuse.
Now, no matter how much she tried to disguise herself, he had already confirmed her identity.
"I’m glad you’re safe, Commander. I’ll continue to look for Mu Yunlie," Yan Qianyi said, then turned and continued walking to the other rooms.
Although her idol and divinity were unharmed, her heart was still clenched as she had not yet seen Ah Lie.
Mu Yunlie followed behind Yan Qianyi, searching through room after room.
Finally, in one room, they found Pei Yuexuan bound on the floor.
Pei Yuexuan was unconscious, his condition unknown.
"Deputy Officer Pei!" Yan Qianyi quickly went forward to help him up.
Mu Yunlie helped to untie the ropes binding him.
Yan Qianyi quickly checked Pei Yuexuan’s pulse, then took out a pill and shoved it into his mouth.
Watching her proficient movements, Mu Yunlie was even more certain of her identity in his heart.
After taking the medicine, Pei Yuexuan soon woke up.
Seeing the cat-faced mask before him, Pei Yuexuan’s instinctive reaction was to attack, but Mu Yunlie immediately pressed his shoulder, "She’s one of us; she just saved you."
Pei Yuexuan looked up, saw Mu Yunlie, and let out a sigh of relief, "You’re safe, Commander!"
"Mm, I’m fine. Can you walk on your own?"
Pei Yuexuan propped himself up, the pill he had just taken had instantly restored a lot of his strength.
Yan Qianyi said, "He just fainted from not eating or drinking for a long time. The pill I fed him can temporarily restore his physical energy, but he needs to eat something soon to replenish it."
Pei Yuexuan looked confusedly at Catwoman, then turned to Mu Yunlie, thoroughly perplexed, "Commander, how come you two are together?"
This Catwoman had personally killed a number of evildoers in secret. Previously the Commander had ordered him to investigate her identity, but not a single clue could be found.
Mu Yunlie said, "She was looking for Mu Yunlie and happened to come across me."
Pei Yuexuan became even more baffled and asked Yan Qianyi, "What do you want with Mu Yunlie?"
Yan Qianyi replied, "I heard that Mu Yunlie came to the Morris Empire with you. I am here at the behest of his wife, Yan Qianyi, to find her in the Morris Empire."
If Mu Yunlie asks her later how she came to be associated with "Cat Immortal," she would explain that, out of deep concern for him, she had hired someone with money.
"Madam..." Pei Yuexuan started to say something, but Mu Yunlie suddenly coughed heavily, interrupting him.
"Isn’t he with you?" Yan Qianyi asked anxiously.
Pei Yuexuan understood the meaning behind Mu Yunlie’s cough just now and didn’t know how to respond.
The Commander was right by his side, but he couldn’t reveal his identity to this woman whose identity was unclear.
Mu Yunlie asked, "What do you do?"
"I get paid to do jobs. Please answer my question, have you seen Mu Yunlie?" Out of concern for Mu Yunlie’s safety, Yan Qianyi’s tone was growing impatient.
Instead of answering, Mu Yunlie countered, "Where did Yan Qianyi find you?"
He wanted to figure out exactly what her role entailed.
"Commander, I apologize, but I cannot answer that."
After saying this, Yan Qianyi didn’t want to waste any more time here. She turned to search for Mu Yunlie but was blocked by the Commander.
The Commander’s eyes, hidden behind a mask, stared intently at her, "Answer my question."
Yan Qianyi’s eyes darkened.
Why do male idols always have to be so persistent?
Right now, all she wanted was to urgently find Ah Lie, even if it meant causing offense.
"Please step aside. I don’t want to fight you, and with your current physical condition, you wouldn’t be a match for me."
The Commander chuckled, "So eager to find Mu Yunlie?"
"Of course, it’s my task. If I don’t find him, his wife won’t pay me."
"Don’t worry, he’s safe and sound."
Yan Qianyi paused, her eyes lit up, "How do you know?"
The Commander said, "Tell Yan Qianyi not to run around heedlessly and to wait back at the Royal Palace. Mu Yunlie will appear safely tonight."
Yan Qianyi hesitated.
The Commander then said, "You also leave this place immediately."
Yan Qianyi pondered for a moment, believing the Commander wouldn’t deceive her, and then nodded, "Then please stay safe."
Upon leaving the basement, Xia Ziyu’s anxious voice came immediately through the earpiece.
"Cat Immortal, what happened when you entered the basement? The signal was lost as soon as you went in. Are you alright?"
"I’m fine. I found the Commander and Deputy Officer Pei in the basement. They’re both safe."
"That’s good, I was scared to death! Thought you were dead!"
"Don’t worry, I’ll certainly live longer than you."
"Hope so. By the way, what about Mu Yunlie? Wasn’t he down there?"
"The Commander told me to go back to the Royal Palace and wait, saying Mu Yunlie would show up there. I’m not sure what’s going on, but I trust the Commander isn’t just talking nonsense. I’ll go check the Palace now, gotta go, I also need to contact my brother for support."
