The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Chapter 103

In the chaotic fight, his figure was still as slender as it had been years ago, but each of his moves was exceptionally fierce.

Fu Youhan witnessed his men being knocked down one by one.

He quickly shouted, "Everyone stop!"

As soon as Fu Youhan’s voice rang out, his men stopped.

Jiang Moxi’s body stiffened the moment she heard that familiar male voice.

Fu Youhan!

So many nights of intimacy had etched the memories of this man deep in Jiang Moxi’s mind.

Even without turning her head, Jiang Moxi knew that the man giving orders had to be him.

But she dared not turn back, nor could she.

She had to remain alert and restrained, otherwise not only she, but Jing Yan would also be implicated.

Thus, Jiang Moxi quickly said to Jing Yan: "Let’s go!"

With years of tacit understanding, Jing Yan instantly understood her intention and dashed with her towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

As the two reached the floor-to-ceiling windows, the miniature explosive devices Jiang Moxi had secretly placed in the mall detonated.

With a "bang", the window was blown open.

Though the explosion was small, it triggered a chain reaction.

The fire alarm in the mall had been activated, and people inside scrambled to get out.

Those outside the mall, upon hearing the explosion, either hurriedly moved away or stood in the distance in awe, with some fearless ones even rushing downstairs to see the commotion.

"Wow, it’s like a real-life parkour."

"Is this a cop-thriller movie shoot?"

"So cool! Can you take me with you?"

In short, the scene was quite chaotic.

"Don’t go!" Fu Youhan tried to call them to stay, even ready to disregard the crowd present and reveal how Dead Ghost had helped him in the past.

But this cry made Jiang Moxi and Jing Yan leap out of the window successively.

Fu Youhan rushed to the window only to see a green hoodie spin around, a steel wire hook shooting out of his sleeve.

The hook latched onto the exterior railing of the building; holding one end, he quickly grabbed Scavenger’s hand with the other, then swiftly descended down the building with Scavenger.

Throughout, the man in the green hoodie never looked up or made eye contact with Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan could only see a wisp of silver hair blown about by the wind...

They moved very fast; in just a few seconds, they slid down from the ten-story building and landed safely.

"Dead Ghost!" Fu Youhan urgently called out the code name that had haunted him for four years.

But either the distance was too great, or the person had no intention of responding, the man in the green hoodie didn’t even turn his head.

Soon, he and Scavenger vanished into the surging crowd...

Several minutes later, Jiang Moxi changed back into her original clothes, and Scavenger Jing Yan also put on a striped suit and a pair of silver-framed glasses.

The handsome and beautiful duo entered a coffee shop, catching many eyes.

After ordering coffee, Jiang Moxi looked at Jing Yan: "This outfit really suits you, the more I look, the more you seem like a cultured man."

Jing Yan, in his neat suit, looked clean and elegant, the very image of a cultured degenerate.

"Hmm, you too. More and more like a good girl." Jing Yan also observed Jiang Moxi.

She was dressed in a skirt, her long hair softly draped over her shoulders, her face clean without any makeup, yet her lips red and teeth white, her charming smile stunningly beautiful.

It was hard for anyone to associate her with Dead Ghost, the notorious character of the underworld.

At that moment, the waiter delivered their coffee.

Jiang Moxi raised her cup towards Jing Yan, "A toast to the cultured man!"

Jing Yan also picked up his coffee, clinking his cup with Jiang Moxi’s: "A toast to the good girl!"

They seemed to be complimenting each other, but it was more a celebration of their survival from the ordeal.

Afterward, Jiang Moxi took out her cellphone to operate it.

"I need to black out the surveillance footage from the sections of the road where you appeared earlier," Jiang Moxi operated her phone while asking Jing Yan.

"Why did they corner you?"

With Jing Yan’s current identity, it should be difficult for him to arouse suspicion from outsiders.

Jing Yan hesitated slightly, then put down his coffee: "Dead Ghost has arrived in Yan City..."

Jiang Moxi suddenly looked up.

Her usually charming eyes instantly turned cold and aggressive.

"Why didn’t you tell me first!"

Dead Ghost, like Scavenger and others, is also a codename.

They had fought side by side in the Xuanming Mercenary Corps, and were very close.

But later, Dead Ghost betrayed them, which indirectly caused Feng Ming to be in mortal danger.

Over the past four years, Jiang Moxi has been hiding her identity, but she never gave up on tracking down Dead Ghost.

Jing Yan knew about the deadly feud between Jiang Moxi and Dead Ghost, so he could only pressure her with Xuanming.

"Xuanming’s idea is to trace his backing powers first before taking him down. Are you not even going to listen to Xuanming’s words now?"

"I will listen. Show me his recent photo," Jiang Moxi’s sharp gaze remained unchanged, "I just want to see, I promise not to touch him."

"I just tracked Dead Ghost and had not yet managed to approach him when I was surrounded. By the way, do you know Third Master Fu?"

Jing Yan was pondering how to temporarily end this topic to prevent Jiang Moxi from asking further about Dead Ghost,

when he inadvertently asked a question that achieved the desired effect.

Jiang Moxi’s expression clearly froze.

Her relationship with Third Master Fu was more than just an acquaintance.

In the last few days, Third Master Fu even took her to a hot spring, where under the charming mountain scenery, they engaged in all sorts of intimate activities typical of lovers.

But she didn’t know how to explain this to Jing Yan, and simply asked him: "What happened?"

"He has obstructed me several times recently," Jing Yan understood the nuances in conversations, and by seeing Jiang Moxi’s expression just now, he knew that she had a deep connection with that man.

But he was unsure what that man was actually aiming for.

So, he could only warn Jiang Moxi, "Just be careful on your own."

Jiang Moxi, slightly stunned, nodded...

At the same time, Chi Jing rushed to report to Fu Youhan.

"The surveillance footage of the mall you asked to check has been deleted. Besides, even the perimeter around the mall and various routes have been cleared. We can’t investigate who the person who suddenly appeared inside the mall to help Scavenger escape is."

As he stared at the giant floor-to-ceiling window blasted with holes, Fu Youhan said, "No need to search, I know who that person is."

"Who?"

Chi Jing asked subconsciously.

"Dead Ghost!"

Fu Youhan’s answer made Chi Jing look up in surprise.

"Are you sure it’s him? Hasn’t he been missing for four years?"

During these four years of Dead Ghost’s disappearance, almost everyone thought he was dead.

Including Chi Jing.

But Fu Youhan’s tone was extraordinarily certain: "I’m sure, I can’t mistake him."

That posture just now, those skills, and that signature silver hair...

It could only be Dead Ghost.

At that moment, his subordinates found some blood-stained glass shards among the scattered piles of glass downstairs and brought them to Fu Youhan.

Fu Youhan touched the blood on the wound, narrowing his eyes slightly: "He’s injured?"

*

On the other side, after Jiang Moxi returned to Tianqin Bay, she had just picked the shards of glass from her palm when she heard Fu Youhan’s voice: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Moxi looked up, just in time to see the man slightly squinting his eyes, his gaze tightly locked on her still bleeding wound, as if he discerned something.
