Kai Xin grabbed onto the assailant's arm and position herself .
Just as she was about to throw the assailant over her shoulder, she heard him hissing, "It's me! Ghost!"
When he released her, she turned and saw a red-faced Ghost with sweat dripping from his forehead . Angered, she punched him in the stomach as hard as she could .
Bending over the pain, he groaned softly, "I probably deserved that . . . "
He heard that someone was walking towards the door and was about to open it . Grabbing Kai Xin's hand, he hid them away in a corner right before the door was opened .
"Odd . . . " murmured Kai An as he glanced around the corridor, "I could have swore that I heard something . "
An Qi Yan's voice could be heard from inside, "If there's no one, then quickly go back to your guest . Dinner will be served shortly . "
Scratching his head, Kai An went back into the house .
When he heard the door clicked, Ghost released the breath he was holding .
Glaring at him, Kai Xin asked impatiently, "What are you doing here?"
Glaring back at her, he snapped, "You didn't answer your phone!"
"It was low on battery so I turned it off . What?"
Ghost sighed . He closed his eyes for a second to keep his temper in check .
When he opened them, he looked at her ruefully while rubbing his stomach, "I'm sorry . I was busy with my own stuff that I forgot to tell you . "
Curtly, she asked, "What?"
"Ye Tian is back . "
Wide eyed, Kai Xin was shocked yet relieved to hear that . Ghost's news meant that she was not losing her mind . He came back and he was back to his old habits of haunting her .
"When?" asked Kai Xin as she led him to the stairs so that they can talk properly .
"The same day as Shangguan Xing . He had been staying alone at one of his own houses instead of the family mansion where the servants are . We only found out when he met with Luo Han . "
That left one more person who was out of the equation . Kai Xin glanced at Ghost and asked about Luo Yin .
"Still away . Luo Han had placed an order for him to be brought back so I expect that he would be back soon . "
Kai Xin thought about his words . It was what they had expected and prepared for .
The fall of an old and established family like the Shangguan Family was bound to have a domino effect .
The Ye and Luo would be very careful from now on, especially since the election is coming up . If the news of their children misdeeds were exposed now, it would destroy all of their political dreams .
Kai Xin glanced at Ghost who was still rubbing his sore stomach . Sighing, she lifted his shirt to check on the injury she inflicted on him .
She felt bad when she saw the large bruise that was starting to form .
"It's going to hurt for a while . "
He winced when she rubbed on the area to disperse the bruise, "You are getting stronger . "
"I have been training," said Kai Xin . As she released his shirt, she asked, "So why are you here today? You rarely make an appearance outside AVENGE . "
"Don't get agitated but . . . " said Ghost as he checked her expression, " . . . Ye Tian is in your house . "
