My Brilliant CEO Wife

Chapter 652 - 653: Accident? Conspiracy? (22)

"I feel like I'm dying, don't move around, I want to sleep in your arms for a while. It's been so long since I slept in your embrace!" Seductive Snake gently slapped Yun Hao's mischievous hand, then obediently snuggled into Yun Hao's arms!"Mm, sleep," Yun Hao replied, feeling a bit guilty. He didn't have the same deep feelings for Seductive Snake as he did for Chu Yan and Zhao Shishi, but Seductive Snake treated him well!

The carriages were quiet late at night. By the afternoon the next day, everyone entered the territory of Xiguang Province, abandoned the large truck, and the group of twenty-two got on a train to Salt City in batches!

This was a very old green train. Because the tickets were bought last minute, Yun Hao and his team were not in the same carriage. The carriage with Yun Hao and Seductive Snake only had Xuan Yi!

Although Xiguang Province isn't very wealthy, its land area is truly vast, so taking a train to Salt City requires half a day and a night's journey, turning into the next morning before reaching Salt City!

Salt City is a small county town at the border of Huaxia and Yue Kingdom, not vast in land, but it confusingly blends various powers, a mingling of dragons and snakes!

Yun Hao spent fifty bucks to switch seats with the guy next to Seductive Snake!

"Wow, you're loaded!" Seductive Snake exaggeratedly looked at Yun Hao, who sat down next to her!

"Absolutely! How about it, little sis? Shall we get a room after getting off the train?" Yun Hao raised his eyebrows in delight, completely like a lascivious wolf!

"Oh, you're so naughty, but I like it!" Seductive Snake also coquettishly glared at Yun Hao and then cuddled with him, whispering sweet words!

Nearby passengers were stunned that Yun Hao spent fifty bucks to win over such a stunning beauty, their eyes almost popping out!

If they had known it was so easy to win over beauties nowadays, they would have coughed up a few bills to switch seats with that guy too. Forget tens of bucks, even hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands would be worth it for a rare beauty like Seductive Snake!

Some people lamented the degradation of society, while secretly peeking at Seductive Snake. Who could resist her charm?

A beauty of Seductive Snake's caliber is something they've never had the chance to see in their lifetime as poor nobodies!

The train thundered along, Seductive Snake asleep on Yun Hao's shoulder, nightfall arriving in the blink of an eye. The few people bought snacks midway, but the boxed meals sold on the train were the worst Yun Hao had tasted in years!

Ultimately, Yun Hao and Xuan Yi bought five or six boxes of instant noodles and feasted on them, only to have Seductive Snake snatch away two boxes!

Seeing such a striking beauty eating voraciously, those around were shocked. For convenience in conversing later, Xuan Yi paid to switch to Yun Hao's seat opposite, but it only cost him twenty bucks—after all, he wasn't seated beside a beauty but a bespectacled nerd!

As night fell, the carriage gradually quieted down, not far from Yun Hao and his team were some shirtless men smoking and playing poker, quite lively!

Normally smoking isn't allowed in carriages, but despite warnings from railway staff, it had little effect. Coupled with the unruly passengers, staff didn't intervene further!

Interspersed with the poker-playing men were occasional baby cries!

Shortly, the train arrived at a station, few got off, but many others boarded. Among the newcomers, three men drew Yun Hao and Xuan Yi's attention!

These three carried an aura of blood and death, an aura only those living on the edge of life and death and with killing experience would have!

This aura was too familiar to Yun Hao and Xuan Yi, even Seductive Snake asleep on Yun Hao's shoulder was startled awake by it!

After boarding, the three men casually glanced around, noticing the poker-playing men not far away. They exchanged looks and slowly approached those men!

"Boss?" Xuan Yi gently called Yun Hao.

"Let's observe!" Yun Hao slowly shook his head. Though his team feared no danger, the task ahead was vital. To avoid complications, it was better not to interfere!

After approaching the poker players, the men sat right in their seats, squeezing in among them!

However, contrary to Yun Hao's team's expectations of likely disputes or fights, nothing happened. The poker players continued yelling and playing as before!

After a minute, Yun Hao and Xuan Yi nodded at each other, with Xuan Yi pretending to head to the restroom, leisurely walking toward them!

"Boss, things are unexpected!" Upon returning after his restroom break, Xuan Yi seriously gazed at Yun Hao!

"Tell me!" Yun Hao anticipated something unexpected, otherwise how could nothing occur?

"Those three killers are all dead, their throats slit. To avoid chaos, cloths were wrapped around them, but I can confirm they are dead—killed instantly with no chance of resistance!"

Xuan Yi gravely stated, having been shocked upon witnessing it!

Eliminating the three killers, anyone among their team could accomplish. Yet to do so silently, there's only the five—himself, Xuan Er, Xuan San, Yun Hao, and Seductive Snake!

This implied that among the poker-playing men, there was an expert!

Hearing Xuan Yi, Yun Hao and Seductive Snake paid more attention. Yun Hao had suspected some surprise might occur, thinking possibly the killers were merely knocked out, not expecting them to be executed so swiftly!

This indicated that among the poker players, there was a highly trained assassin, potentially matching Yun Hao's team's combat ability. One such expert is manageable, but if all four poker players were such formidable fighters!

Then Yun Hao's team must seriously consider it. Why were these individuals on this specific train?

Why the unexpected coincidence of being on the same train?

Could it merely be coincidental?

Is it not a suspicious coincidence?
