Once Third Young Master Ye’s car came to a stop, he heard a massive explosion and the mansion was blown up beyond recognition. His typically cold and detached demeanor gave way to a pale face that reeked of death in the pale sun.

He helplessly saw Cheng Anya drop from the second floor into the swimming pool as a fire lit up behind her.

Several explosions followed the first explosion.

The explosives which tumbled out from the drawer were particularly potent. There were also smart mines on top of the micro explosives which detonated after the first explosion as the fire spread!

The entire mansion was leveled!

Radiating heat seared as fires leaped out!

“Anya, no…” Third Young Master Ye was worried to the verge of tears and sprinted toward the swimming pool. The heat, woodwork, and masonry that were blown out from the explosion landed in the pool, on Cheng Anya.

Third Young Master Ye was extremely anxious and jumped into the pool without looking.

He viciously pushed away the wooden boards, seeing the clean swimming pool tainted with a few shreds of blood. Third Young Master Ye, worried that things did not bid well, pulled Cheng Anya out of the water by her waist.

“Oh my god…” The fear of being about to lose her gripped Third Young Master Ye’s heart and almost took his breath away.

The woman was covered in injuries. Her elbows were especially wounded, and blood colored the flowing water red. Third Young Master Ye’s eyes stung. He was anxious and heartbroken, and his heart ached as he saw Cheng Anya covered in blood. He felt pain as though there were several cuts on him.

He quickly dialed for the emergency services.

“Anya, Anya…”

Her breathing was weak and she coughed out water as she was pulled out of the water by Third Young Master Ye. She woke up after coughing out water.

“Ahh… It hurts…” A sharp pain surged through her. It was as though she was hacked by a knife. The pain caused her to sob.

“The ambulance is on the way… Hang on…” Third Young Master Ye carried her, who was breathing unsteadily, and laid her down on the grass patch.

“It hurts…” Cheng Anya was panicking and suddenly arched her back. Third Young Master Ye panicked and saw a bloody patch on her back. She had been bitten by the massive python and had rolled on the ground. She had many glass shards embedded in her arms, back, and some were quite deep in her skin. Cheng Anya was sweating due to the pain and her face was pale.

“Are there any other injuries?” Ye Chen asked urgently and did not dare to anyhow touch her.

“My leg… It hurts!” Cheng Anya panted. Barring her head, her skin was nowhere else intact.

Third Young Master Ye squinted in extreme heartache. He wanted to hug her tightly and gave her his warmest protection, telling her that all was over. But he could not as he was afraid of touching her wounds and aggravating the pain she was in.

He could only hug her gently as he leaned against a sturdy tree. Cheng Anya was in pain and wanted to scream out loud to vent her suffering!

However tough one was, pain was able to strongly assault even the strongest-willed of all men. She had just been through a thrilling adventure.

As she saw Ye Chen’s pained face, reddened eyes, and near-madness, she harshly suppressed her irritation. He seemed to be more important to her than her pain.

Was his heart still aching for her?

As this thought flashed through her mind, her trouble disappeared with the wind.

Her irritable mood was substantially relieved.

“I’m sorry…” Third Young Master Ye said as he bowed his head and tremblingly held her hand. He had almost lost her due to his carelessness.

“It was not your fault!” Cheng Anya said as she slightly frowned and suddenly hit Third Young Master Ye on his shoulder. She hit him softly without force. “I really feel like hitting you for telling me the guns and explosives were in the bedside drawer when they were actually in the low wardrobe. I was almost killed because of you!”

The massive python, thankfully, smashed the low cabinet. If not, she would have ended up as its lunch.

Third Young Master Ye was aghast and his jaw dropped.

“You took the explosives in the low cabinet?” He asked as he gradually recovered from his heartache. As he looked at the devastated mansion, it was little wonder…

It became leveled!

“Why couldn’t you just tell me that there were explosives in both places?”

Third Young Master Ye nodded. It was not surprising that he had guns and explosives in his possession.

Third Young Master Ye, in his boredom, would typically do two things. The first thing would be to attack somebody’s defensive systems, with the National Intelligence Agency returning the favor. Secondly, murder. The Dragon Gate had a massive weapon production site in City A, and it often exported its goods through City A’s port. When somebody was out to make trouble and ran into a moody Third Young Master Ye, that person was without doubt toast.

Besides, he was of a special identity. Although he did not openly carry his guns, it was perfectly normal for him to have guns for self-defense.

Cheng Anya gave up thinking about the guns. That was what Third Young Master Ye should worry about.

“Let me tell you. I was very brave. I… blew it up!”

“How brave of you!” Third Young Master Ye said as he caressed her face.

“That is definitely so! I am Cheng Ningyuan’s mother!” Cheng Anya smiled and coughed as she endured the pain. “I am calling the police!”

“It’s okay. That’s my problem and I’ll settle it!” Third Young Master Ye said plainly as though it was routine. He was not a single bit worried about explaining how his house was leveled.

Cheng Anya relaxed upon hearing his words. As long as the mess she created was within his ability to clean up, all was good.

Sirens were heard!

From afar…

“I must indeed depend on myself! The police are often late for various reasons!”

She was too lazy to think about how Third Young Master Ye managed to return home so quickly. She was tired, uncomfortable, and her thoughts started to become jumbled.

She was guessing she was about to lose consciousness!

As the sirens closed in, a small figure also approached.

“Mommy, Daddy…” The young kid said urgently as he ran over. “Oh my god, Mommy…”

Ning Ning’s face paled as his hands touched her back. “Daddy, what happened?”

“Baby, it’s okay… Mommy just suffered a flesh wound. It’s not serious.”

As she turned her head, she saw smoke rising from the mansion. “Ye Chen, the house is gone!” She felt sad.

The house was ruined by the damned massive python!

Only the heavens knew how much she loved this mansion!

Ye Chen smiled gently and his gaze was filled with a gentleness that smothered people. “Home is here, and nobody will be able to take it from us!” He gently put her hand at his heart.

Me, you, and baby. This is a family that nobody will take away from us!

I will rebuild it!

Cheng Anya felt she was about to lose consciousness when she saw a deep emotion in Ye Chen’s gaze.

The only thought she had before losing consciousness was how she loved what he said.

“Mommy…”

“Anya… Where is this damned ambulance? Why is it so slow?” Third Young Master Ye cursed. A few police cars stopped a distance away and dozens of policemen swarmed the scene.

As Ning Ning saw the leveled house, he frowned and had a sinister gaze!

“Baby, do you know what to do now?” Third Young Master Ye asked.

“Retrieve all the footage from the surveillance cameras!” Ning Ning said calmly and looked around the yard. There were several cameras, but…”Damn it! What were the people in the control room doing?”

“It would not be surprising for them to be on somebody’s payroll!” Third Young Master Ye said plainly as he frowned.

This massive python’s background was worth looking into!

Cheng Anya, with Ye Chen in tow, was sent to the hospital. Two policemen went over to record statements whilst Ning Ning investigated the scene.

Cheng Anya had called Ye Chen, who then urgently informed Ning Ning to rush home. Ning Ning had reached home in time.

Ning Ning sat in Ye Chen’s car and took out his palmtop from his computer. He had three computers: a desktop tower, a notebook, and a small palmtop. This palmtop, which the young kid installed himself, ran on solar energy.

It was not large, but very functional.

Chaos ensued at the scene and nobody would notice a tyke like him retrieving the surveillance camera footage. His daddy could cook up the remainder of the story.

As a precaution, he also retrieved the real-time surveillance camera footage.

Once that was done, he shut his computer and hailed a cab to the hospital.

When Ning Ning reached the hospital, two policemen left as Third Young Master Ye had finished recording the statement.

“Daddy, what did you say about the incident?”

“Revenge by a rival family!”

“That’s a pretty decent reason!” Ning Ning approved. Such feuds between tycoons were commonplace. Describing it as a rivalry between feuding families would work out as guns and explosives were found at the scene, let alone a massive python. Even if the cops wanted surveillance camera footage, none was to be found.

This was the policemen’s problem.

Besides, given Third Young Master Ye’s identity and social status, he would have friends in the top brass of law enforcement. All that was needed were formalities and there was nothing they could do without proof. The case would go cold in a short while.

“It’s nothing. I will have to visit the police station for some formalities at worst.” Third Young Master Ye said plainly. “Have you done it?”

“All done! The footage was from the surveillance cameras along the outer perimeter of the mansion. The surveillance cameras in the house were destroyed!”

“Have you seen them?”

“Not yet!” Ning Ning took out his computer from his bag and pulled out the surveillance camera footage. “Oh my god… How could there be such a huge python?” Ning Ning was mildly surprised.

Father and son looked at each other, and then at the A&E.

‘She is simply too badass!’ their gazes said.

They could clearly see the massive python slither toward the mansion from the surveillance footage. As it failed to smash open the door with its tail, it changed its target and went for the window.

“Wow, that’s majestic! This is my first time seeing a python this massive!” Ning Ning’s tender face was apparent with surprise. Given Ning Ning’s knowledge and how well-read he was, he was once again schooled by the world. “Mommy is sure badass enough to take it out despite having only a leg!”

It was a pity the footage inside the mansion could not be seen!

“Rewind the footage. Let’s see where it came from!” Ye Chen was bent on finding out who had the intention to do Anya in. The discovered perpetrator could not blame him for being vicious!

Such a massive python would not appear at such a place for no rhyme or reason. Besides, it was obviously trained.

As the footage went back, it stopped suddenly. Something slithered away from a minivan and toward the gate of the mansion.

Without needing Ye Chen’s directions, Ning Ning pulled up another footage. He enlarged the license plate number and ran a search on it. “Huang Yunlong, male, thirty-eight years old, from Qi County in City A.

Ning Ning changed the footage to that of the mansion’s main entrance. There was a person in the minivan greeting the guard and requesting for passage. He frowned and looked up this Huang Yunlong. The face in the footage matched the photo of the man.

Ye Chen stood up and made a call. “Huang Yunlong, thirty-eight years old, from Qi County in City A. Find him in two hours!”
