When Xu Zheng and his brother heard this familiar yet extremely authoritative voice, they straightened their backs almost reflexively.
When they looked towards the voice and saw that it was the robot speaking, they were stunned.
Ye Si's dangerous eyes stared at the robot intently.
Cheng Jinyan's expression was lively and vivid, as if he had discovered something fun. He asked the robot, "Do you have a name?"
The robot: "Qin Hanyue."
What was going on here? Xu Zheng and his brother looked at Fidel, who seemed to be facing great distress.
Fidel, however, looked back at the two brothers with pleading eyes.
Cheng Jinyan watched Ye Si’s reaction with amusement, the glare from his glasses nearly shattering from Ye Si’s killing intent. In order to prevent Ye Si from shooting the robot into scrap metal with a round of bullets,
Cheng Jinyan confirmed with the robot: "Who is your owner?"
The robot: "Qiao Ying."
Ye Si's face was ominous: "Damn!"
Cheng Jinyan enjoyed watching things go awry: "Your wife is?"
The robot: "Qiao Ying."
Cheng Jinyan laughed: "One question, one answer - more interesting than Qin Hanyue himself."
Ye Si was furious: More annoying than Qin Hanyue himself!
Within a radius of several dozen miles surrounding the villa, Ye Si’s men came to sweep the area over and over, ensuring no lurking Shadow members remained nearby.
A sudden commotion rang out from outside the villa, but it quickly settled down.
Cheng Jinyan came down from upstairs and couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw Ye Si still emitting low air pressure while sitting motionless on the sofa.
Then he asked his men, "What was that sound outside?"
Qiao Ying's voice answered him: "It's me."
Then Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue walked in.
The men didn't report it in advance. Undoubtedly, they hadn't noticed Qiao Ying and Qin Hanyue approaching. The two had appeared suddenly, which explained the turmoil by the door.
Upon seeing Qiao Ying, Ye Si, who had been sitting angrily on the sofa all night, immediately lifted his head to look. The gloom on his face vanished instantly as his face morphed into pure delight. "Baby!"
Then like a gust of wind, he was by Qiao Ying’s side in an instant.
He checked Qiao Ying up and down and expressed concern repeatedly: "Baby, how are you? Have your injuries healed?"
Qiao Ying: "Nearly there."
Ye Si: "Where else are you hurt? Cheng Jinyan said your shoulder was badly injured and you were shot—is that right? Let me see your left shoulder, quick."
As Ye Si spoke, he tried to pull open Qiao Ying’s collar to inspect her injury. Qiao Ying swatted his hand away and said curtly, "It's nothing."
Ye Si held her in his embrace. "Baby, you scared me to death."
Having fully anticipated his next move, Qiao Ying raised her arms in advance to block between them. "Not fatal."
Ye Si hugged Qiao Ying tightly, recalling the close brushes with danger recently. His heart throbbed with residual fear. "I almost thought I'd lose you again."
Qiao Ying, who had intended to struggle free, paused upon hearing this.
With their safe reunion, Cheng Jinyan felt relieved.
He looked at Qin Hanyue, who was enduring in silence, then patted Ye Si’s arm. "Done hugging? My turn."
The moment Cheng Jinyan finished speaking, Qin Hanyue's displeased gaze immediately turned to him. But Cheng Jinyan still wore an expression like he was enjoying a good show.
Ye Si warned Cheng Jinyan, "Get lost. Touch her and try what happens."
Then Ye Si’s face instantly morphed back into harmless affability towards Qiao Ying. He held Qiao Ying’s thinner face in his hands tenderly, looking at it from every angle.
"Baby, you lost so much weight. You definitely haven't been eating or sleeping well recently." Ye Si was distressed beyond measure.
Qiao Ying lifted her face out of Ye Si’s clutches, unintentionally glancing at Qin Hanyue and unsurprisingly noticing the displeasure on a certain someone’s face.
Ye Si: "I swear death enmity with those Shadow trash."
The dark eye circles under Ye Si's eyelids were very obvious. His hair was also a little messy, lacking his usual style.
Qiao Ying asked, "Your complexion is so poor, are you injured?"
Ye Si immediately touched his own face, as if the sky was falling. "Do I look terrible?"
He was even more infuriated inwardly.
Ye Si glared viciously at Qin Hanyue, whom he had been ignoring. It was all his fault that he looked so unsightly in front of his baby!
The latter was clueless and ignored him.
Cheng Jinyan gloated. "Worse than injured."
Qiao Ying: "???"
Ye Si: "Baby, what's with that robot? Did you create that damned speech system?"
With this, Ye Si stared coldly at Qin Hanyue again, deeply suspecting he was behind the robot mischief. After all, it had been sent by Qin Hanyue’s men.
"And why didn't you give me access? I tried all night but couldn't change it. That bot even threatened to blow me up! If it wasn't your stuff, I’d have blasted it to dust already!” Ye Si felt so wronged.
Qiao Ying: "Where did you put it?"
Ye Si: “Locked away—Baby, you still haven’t told me if you created that speech system or not."
Not only had Ye Si locked the robot away, but Fidel and the Xu brothers had suffered the same fate, all locked up by Ye Si.
Qin Hanyue caught the words: robot? Speech system?
Before Qiao Ying could respond or before Qin Hanyue could figure things out, the sound of a laser cutting through a door suddenly rang out.
Ye Si’s men in the hall immediately raised their gun muzzles vigilantly, all looking towards the guest room to the left inside.
They saw the solid door neatly cut open from inside by a laser. The door panel fell straight to the ground.
The robot burst out through the opening.
Qin Hanyue: “Qiao Yi?”
How did it get here? He looked at Qiao Ying.
The robot zipped quickly over, making straight for Qiao Ying. Its two electronic eyes were brimming with tears. Paired with its cute appearance, it looked like a child, but its voice was steady and masculine when it spoke.
The robot: "Wife, I finally found you."
Its voice even conveyed excitement and sounded very human-like.
Qin Hanyue's sword-like brows raised slightly. “???”
He looked at Qiao Ying, puzzled and astonished. No wonder Ye Si blew his top.
Then he heard Qin Hanyue part his thin lips as an amused smile spread uncontrollably across them. Facing Qiao Ying, stressing each word clearly and tantalizingly, he echoed: “Wife?”
He was definitely just seizing the chance to deliberately provoke her.
Qiao Ying blinked expressionlessly. “......”
This one word "wife" made Ye Si want to whip out his gun in seconds. Glowering sinisterly, he threatened in a dangerous tone: “Believe I’ll cut out your tongue or not!”
Qin Hanyue was completely unaffected by the threat and glanced coolly at Ye Si. He was in high spirits.
Perhaps detecting the similarity between Qin Hanyue’s voice and its own, the robot looked at Qin Hanyue in an anthropomorphic way.
Then it turned back to Qiao Ying again, taking her hand in its mechanical one. In Qin Hanyue's voice, it asked, "Wife, how are your injuries? Has your body recovered?"
Ye Si was furious to the point of gnashing his teeth. Using a perfectly polite tone that barely restrained his temper, he demanded Qiao Ying coercively: "Baby, be good and change the voice to mine."
Qiao Ying didn’t even blink. "It’s just a system malfunction."
The robot stated firmly. "Wife, I have no malfunctions."
Its speed at rebutting her was even faster than it had taken to break down the door.
Feeling a certain someone's gaze on her face, Qiao Ying shook the robot’s hand off and was somewhat unreasonable. "I said you malfunctioned so you malfunctioned—change the voice."
Qin Hanyue: She seems a bit flustered from embarrassment.
The robot: "No replaceable voices found yet, wife."
Qiao Ying: "......"
She had forgotten the system only had one voice set.
