Mr. CEO, Spoil me 100 Percent! - Chapter 131

Chapter 131: You are the One Who Hit Me

 

He wasn’t expecting her to be alert enough to realize someone had entered the room.

He stopped hiding his presence and the door closed with a click. He said no words as he inched closer to Xinghe, a large baseball bat in his hand.

Xinghe’s voice showed no sign of alarm as she repeated, “Zhi, is that you?”

She then heard an eerie chuckle in the dark.

She turned around sharply and stared right at his face.

Lit by the weak candle light, the person’s eyes were crazed and their smile was creepy. Xinghe was staring into the face of a homicidal psychopath.

The go-to response for any normal person under these circumstances would be to scream for help.

However, Xinghe was studying the man’s face closely with not a trace of fear in her eyes.

“It’s you!” Xinghe exclaimed in surprise.

Her shock was shared by the man. In a deep, throaty voice, he growled, “You know me?”

Xinghe’s body tensed, guarding against him. “Yes, I know you! You’re the one who hit me with the car six years ago! I’ll never forget your face!”

The surprise in the man’s eyes was slowly replaced by murderous intent.

“Well, all the more reason for you to die.” As he said so, he raised the baseball bat in his hand.

Xinghe was unperturbed. She folded her legs and asked calmly, “Who ordered you to come for me? Was it Wu Rong?”

“How is the answer going to help you from beyond the grave? Although, I must say, woman you have some impressive guts.” He had the bat raised above his head, and was prepared to deliver the final blow.

Even though Xinghe’s unconventional reaction surprised him but he had to get his job done.

No matter what, Xinghe had to die that night!

“Well, all the more reason for you to tell me, don’t you agree?” Xinghe mimicked his speech pattern. “It was Wu Rong who wanted me dead six years ago and it was her again this time, wasn’t it?”

“Yes, it was her—” As the words escaped the man’s mouth, the bat in his hands came down hard at Xinghe.

Xinghe kicked the table counter that held the candle and used the rebound the lean back out of harm’s way. The man missed his target and with the lights out, he temporarily lost his bearings.

His eyes had gotten used to the glow in the room so the sudden change of lighting befuddled his senses.

He let his guard down for a moment but that was more than enough for the person in hiding to jump on him!

He felt a few heavy blows to his body and his consciousness went out like the light.

Simultaneously, a battery-operated lamplight lit up the room.

Once again, it was Xia Zhi who yelled excitedly, “Finally, we’re all done for the night!”

“Tie him up,” Xinghe ordered as she stood up.

The four bodyguards moved to oblige.

Xia Zhi walked over and kicked the mysterious assailant’s supine body. “You bastard! How dare you target my sister’s life‽”

Like a ragdoll, Black Three’s unconscious body folded from the force of the kick.

Xiao Mo stared at Black Three’s unconscious face and frowned. “There’s a scary aura radiating off him that suggests this is not his first job.”

“His body count must be high,” Xia Zhi concurred, “But his weapon of choice is a baseball bat?”

Chapter 132: Fallen into Xia Xinghe’s Hands

 

Xia Zhi asked the question that was on everyone’s mind.

Logically speaking, wouldn’t a knife be better for his purpose?

A baseball bat was more of a makeshift weapon…

Xinghe explained, “He wanted to kill us, yes, but it couldn’t look like a premeditated homicide.”

“What do you mean by that?” Xia Zhi questioned. How come he could never understand his sister’s explanations?

Xinghe elaborated, “If we’re found murdered, Chui Ming would naturally become the prime suspect. Therefore, our deaths must be arranged to look like an accident.”

Finally, Xia Zhi understood. “You mean he planned to use the bat to knock us out and then create the false image that we’d perished in an accident?”

Xinghe nodded. “That’s right.”

By then, Xiao Mo had managed to find a lighter on Black Three’s body. He frowned and speculated, “Looks like he intended to have us go by gas explosion.”

“That’s the only way all the evidence could be destroyed efficiently and quickly.” Xinghe confirmed.

Xia Zhi shivered involuntarily. “What kind of person would come up with a devious plan like that? He planned to have all of us killed!”

“Miss Xia, shall we call the police?” One of the bodyguards asked.

They were under Mubai’s command to protect Xinghe. Now that all the danger had been neutralized, they felt it was time to hand everything over to the law enforcement.

However, Xinghe had other plans in mind.

“Let’s not involve the police just yet. Bring him down to the basement. Zhi, bring me a basin of water, our friend here needs to moisturize his face,” Xinghe said with a cryptic smile.

This time Xia Zhi understood what she meant immediately. “Yes, madam!” he said, as he left with a spring in his steps.

A basin of water slapped Black Three right in his face.

The assassin grunted from the pain and his eyes fluttered open.

He blinked rapidly from the glare of the basement overhead lights.

One of the bodyguards straightened him roughly and warned, “Now your fate is in our hands so I suggest you better follow our orders and come clean or else I can’t guarantee what will happen to you.”

Black Three scanned his surrounding and reality settled in.

His plan had failed and he was at Xia Xinghe’s mercy.

His face twitched violently, regretting his slip.

He glared viciously at Xinghe who sat across him and laughed. “You think you can force the information out of me? You b*tch, I’d advise you to forget it because I, Black Three, would rather die than tell you anything!”

Xiao Mo gave Black Three a harsh slap on his face. He warned menacingly, “Consider your situation before you speak any further!”

Even Xia Zhi jumped because he wasn’t expecting Xiao Mo to have such a sudden and physical response.

But, he had to admit it was one hell of a good slap!

Black Three spun his bloodied face around and leveled an evil glare at Xiao Mo. He then issued a throaty, soul chilling laugh.

Xiao Mo was unaffected. He turned to Xinghe and asked, “Miss Xia, how about you let us teach him a lesson first to soften him up?”

“Sis, I support this!” Xia Zhi piped up. He was eager to teach this man, who’d attempted to take Xinghe’s life twice, a lesson.

Xinghe agreed without hesitation. “Go ahead but be careful where you hit.”

Xiao Mo replied with a baleful glint in his eyes, “Don’t worry, we won’t let him die on us so easily.”

With that, he launched a barrage of punches and kicks at Black Three.

Xia Zhi joined in.

Both of them made sure the wounds were at places that weren’t conspicuous and adroitly avoided Black Three’s vital parts.

Chapter 133: His Daughter Is…

 

It was more than enough to inflict some real damage.

Black Three endured it well initially but half way through he started moaning in pain.

However, Xiao Mo and Xia Zhi didn’t let their offense down.

After all, they were dealing with a professional assassin; showing mercy was pointless.

Xinghe wasn’t at all affected by Black Three’s groans.

She surfed the internet calmly as if there was nothing out of the ordinary in the room.

Finally, she opened her mouth and said, “That’s enough. I have something I want to ask him.”

Xiao Mo and Xia Zhi stopped and panted from the effort. As Xia Zhi had learnt from the bodyguard, he straightened Black Three up and warned menacingly, “You’d better answer whatever my sister asks or there’s more where that came from.”

Black Three spat in his face and chuckled, “Even if you threaten to kill me, I won’t say a word! Do it if you dare!”

He was certain they didn’t have the guts to actually take another person’s life.

Xia Zhi retorted angrily, “Don’t think we wouldn’t!”

“Well, come at me!” Black Three roared. He laughed shamelessly, taunting them.

Xiao Mo and Xia Zhi were about to continue the aggression when Xinghe uttered calmly, “There’s no need for that.”

She looked at Black Three and smiled enigmatically, “There’s no need to waste everyone’s energy doing this the hard way, wouldn’t you agree?”

Black Three was furious.

So, I took the previous beating for nothing?

“Sis, he won’t admit to his dealings without being taught a lesson!” Xia Zhi said angrily.

“I already have his admission from earlier on tape,” Xinghe commented.

Black Three chuckled disingenuously. “You think that kind of evidence can be used in the court of law? I can have it nullified because you recorded it illegally! Try again, missy!”

“Just what kind of benefits did Wu Rong give you that you’re so willing to take the fall for her? We have so many witnesses here willing to testify against you, so your crime is already a surefire conviction. Why not give Wu Rong up to lighten your sentence?” Xia Zhi was curious.

Black Three smiled cryptically in lieu of an answer.

However, his eyes spoke volumes.

No matter what Xinghe’s group did to him, he would not reveal anything. Even with the threat of death!

Xiao Mo and Xia Zhi stared at one another in confusion.

Why is he so protective of Wu Rong?

Xinghe’s voice suddenly piped up, answering their question, “The reason he won’t incriminate Wu Rong is because Xia Wushuang is his daughter.”

What‽

Xiao Mo and Xia Zhi widened their eyes in shock.

Black Three also stared widely at her.

How can she possibly know that?

Other than himself and Wu Rong, no one else knew about the fact that Wushuang is his daughter!

“Sis, what are you saying?” Xia Zhi questioned.

Xinghe turned her laptop around and read the information on screen out loud, “Zhao Long, nickname Black Three, is – like Wu Rong – from City T’s Province An. Twenty five years ago, both of them worked alongside each other in a factory. However, two years after that, Wu Rong left Province An, while Zhao Long arrived at City T ten years ago. From then onwards, his account would have a sizeable deposit made every year. Even though the person who gave him the money annually was careful enough to cover up the money trail by using cash remittance but at about the same time, Wu Rong’s account would be missing the same amount of money. It’s not hard to connect the dots. Also, ten years ago, Zhao Long visited the hospital for a parentage test. Am I right so far?”

Even though Black Three couldn’t understand the data on the laptop screen but every word Xinghe said was nothing but the truth.

Chapter 134: Time to Take Care of the Mother and Daughter

 

He stared at her with his mouth wide open. He couldn’t wrap his head around how she could investigate such details.

No one should know about his relationship with Wu Rong.

After all, it happened more than twenty years ago.

How could she manage something like that…?

What kind of person is she‽

Xia Zhi suddenly laughed. “No wonder Xia Wushuang is such a human degenerate, she inherited it from both her parents!”

“Don’t you dare insult my daughter!” Black Three struggled in his bonds. He charged at Xia Zhi with whatever force he could muster.

Xia Zhi sent him flying to the floor with a kick. “All three of you are human degenerates! Things will definitely not end well for your entire family!”

Black Three glared violently at Xia Zhi, like he wanted to cut him into pieces.

Xinghe knocked on the tabletop trying to get Black Three’s attention. She asked, “Black Three, I’ve unearthed your deepest secret that’s holding you back. You still refuse to commit to the confession?”

Black Three turned his head towards her slowly. With an eerie chuckle, he said, “So what if you know all this, what can you do with this information? It was out of my own volition that I came for all of you. I couldn’t stand you people, what does that have to do with anyone else? Keep on dreaming if you want my confession!”

“Is it really worth it for a woman that lied to you and a daughter that’s not yours?” Xinghe asked slowly.

Black Three was stunned. “What did you say?”

Even Xia Zhi and Xiao Mo were caught by surprise.

Is Xia Wushuang his daughter or not?

Xinghe’s mouth curved into an interested smile. “The information that I’ve found states clearly that when you went for the parentage test, Wu Rong slipped 1,000,000 RMB to the doctor behind your back. Do you really need me to spell it out for you?”

“Impossible!” Black Three retorted fiercely, “This is your ploy to trick the confession out of me! I will not believe you!”

“Well, there’s only one way to find out. Let’s go have a little chat with Wu Rong, and then we’ll see who’s lying to you.” Xinghe stood up and ordered, “Bring him along, let’s go pay Wu Rong a visit!”

“Yay, a road trip!” Xia Zhi cheered excitedly.

Finally, it was time to deal with that pair of mother and daughter!

…

Wushuang didn’t return home. She stayed at Wu Rong’s.

Neither of them could sleep. They were anxiously waiting for Black Three’s news.

Even though they had confidence in Black Three’s ability, until the news reached their own ears, they couldn’t help but worry.

However, they had more confidence than worry that Black Three would get the job done.

They couldn’t wait to celebrate Xinghe’s demise.

After tonight, everything in the Xia Family would be theirs!

“Mom, what if Black Three fails?” Wushuang couldn’t help but voice her internal concern, “Do you think he’ll rat us out?”

Wu Rong smirked and replied confidently, “Don’t worry, he’d rather choose death than implicate us.”

“But why?” Wushuang couldn’t understand. Just as Wu Rong was going to explain, her doorbell rang.

The sudden doorbell gave both of them a mighty scare.

“Who is it?” Wushuang asked curiously. Wu Rong frowned and said, “I’ll go see…”

She stepped cautiously towards the door. She faltered a few steps back after she looked through the door’s peephole.

Wushuang noticed her mother’s blanched face and came forth to ask, “Mom, what’s wrong? Who is it?”

Wu Rong widened her eyes at Wushuang and replied in a shaking voice, “It… it’s Xia Xinghe…”

Chapter 135: Catfight

 

“What‽” Wushuang was dumbfounded. How could it be Xia Xinghe?

Wasn’t Black Three on his way to kill her, how can she be here?

Wushuang was spooked, but she gathered her courage and peered through the peephole. Xia Xinghe was indeed standing outside their door.

She glared icily at the peephole as if staring at her through it!

Wushuang almost screamed out in shock. Xinghe was like a ghost that had returned to claim their lives. For some reason, Wushuang and Wu Rong shivered in fear.

“How is she here?” Wushuang asked concernedly, “Could it be that Black Three has failed?”

Wu Rong’s face went several shades paler. “That’s impossible…”

“But if not, why is she here?” The reality finally settled in for Wushuang. She was beside herself with worry. “Mom, what should we do? Black Three probably sold us out after he failed so she’s here to confront us!”

Wu Rong was equally flustered but she calmed herself quickly.

“Don’t fret. Maybe Black Three hasn’t made his move yet. Furthermore, even if he fails, he will not sell us out!”

“Why?” This was the question that was bugging Wushuang.

Only an idiot would bear the entirety of the crime and not incriminate them.

Wu Rong grabbed Wushuang’s arm tightly and said under her breath, “Because he’s under the impression that you’re his daughter, even though you’re not!”

“What…” Wushuang was at a loss for words. She had a hard time processing what her mom just said.

“In any case, for your sake, he won’t sell us out. Let’s see what Xia Xinghe wants first, don’t panic…”

“Okay…” Wushuang nodded somewhat vacantly.

With each other support, the mother-and-daughter pair calmed down fairly quickly.

In the meantime, Xinghe kept on hitting the doorbell. She didn’t push it in a hurry but slowly at a constant interval. Each one sounded like a requiem beyond the grave.

Finally, the door slid open to reveal a small crack.

Wu Rong glared at Xinghe from behind the door, asking, “Xia Xinghe, what are you doing here?”

Xinghe returned her glare and said plainly, “You honestly don’t know why I’m here?”

Wu Rong snorted. “How would I know that? In any case, you are not welcome here! Leave immediately or this might turn physical!”

“Fine, then let’s have it your way,” Xinghe launched a kick at the door, knocking Wu Rong and Wushuang back. They collapsed to the floor like a pair of dominoes.

“Xia Xinghe, what are you doing‽” Wushuang and Wu Rong screamed in unison.

They didn’t expect Xinghe to be so audacious.

“What am I doing?” Xinghe stepped into the room gracefully, stared down at them and said, “Of course to collect my debt.”

Wu Rong’s eyes shuddered briefly. “What debt? I warn you, if you don’t leave right this moment, I’ll chase you out myself!”

“Won’t you agree we are way past that by this point? Hit me with everything you got, because I’m going to do the same!”

Xinghe let loose another kick at Wu Rong’s chest.

Wu Rong screamed in pain.

“Mom!” Wushuang climbed up and charged viciously at Xinghe. “B*tch, I’m going to kill you!”

Xinghe stepped out of her way nimbly and kicked at Wushuang’s knees. Wushuang crumpled to the floor instantly.

“Wushuang…” Wu Rong clambered to her daughter in a hurry to check on her condition.

Actually, there wasn’t much force behind Xinghe’s attacks. Wu Rong and Wushuang’s face suffered more damage than their bodies.

Chapter 136: He Has Sold You Out

 

Wu Rong hissed at Xinghe, “You b*tch, how dare you hurt my daughter!”

She climbed up with the support of a chair which she later picked up and swung at Xinghe.

Xinghe expertly avoided it and countered with another kick. Wu Rong crumbled to the floor and the chair in her hands landed heavily only a hair’s breadth away from her head.

“Mom, are you alright‽” Wushuang crawled over and asked hurriedly.

Wu Rong pulled herself up with gritted teeth. “I’m fine! Wushuang, call the cops! The b*tch is trespassing and has assaulted us. Call the police and have her arrested!”

“Right…” Wushuang pulled out her cellphone and dialed the police number in a hurry.

This time it was Xinghe’s who made the careless mistake. She was on the wrong side of the law. There was no way she was going to wiggle out of this one!

Even though Wushuang suffered some surface wounds, her heart was happy.

Because they finally had something concrete they could use against Xinghe…

“Calling the police to hand yourself in?” Xinghe commented sarcastically.

Wushuang’s finger froze in mid-air and Wu Rong stared bewildered at her. “What do you mean by that‽”

Xinghe sauntered over slowly and chuckled coldly. “The meaning is simple. The fact that you’ve conspired to commit a mass murder has already been exposed.”

Wushuang and Wu Rong stared at each other disbelievingly.

It has been exposed?

But how‽

The conclusive way Xinghe said those words didn’t seem like she was bluffing.

However, Black Three wouldn’t have ratted them out no matter what…

Wu Rong had confidence in that. She said challengingly, “What conspiracy in a mass murder‽ Xia Xinghe, that’s a bloody lie! If you can’t produce the evidence, I’ll sue you for libel!”

“Right, b*tch, show us the evidence if you can!” Wushuang chimed in.

Their game plan was to deny their connection to everything and anything.

Xinghe smiled condescendingly. “You think I’d be here without evidence? Wu Rong, Black Three has told us everything. You were behind the accident years ago and you were behind the attempted murder tonight. He has sold you out.”

“That’s impossible…” Wu Rong’s face turned pale immediately. She demurred with a shaking voice, “I don’t know any Black One, Two, or Three, and I’m certainly not involved in his or her illegal dealings! Xia Xinghe, bring him here to confront me or I’ll sue you to death and back!”

Wu Rong was certain that Black Three would not sell them out. He’d told her that personally.

He would die than let anything happen to his precious ‘daughter’.

Therefore, Xinghe must be laying a trap for them.

I mustn’t fall for it!

As if hearing her thoughts, Xinghe said, “You believe he would rather die than sell you out?”

“…”

“Too bad, he already knew the truth regarding the thing that you’ve been lying to him about. He knows Xia Wushuang is not his actual daughter!”

Wu Rong felt an explosion go off in her head. Her scattered thoughts were all over the place.

What did Xia Xinghe just said?

Black Three knows the truth?

But how…

This can’t be true. How did he suddenly find out about it?

“No, I don’t know what you’re talking about. Xia Xinghe, you’re spouting nonsense!” Wu Rong shook her head repeatedly but the truth was belied by the anxiety in her voice.

“Are you thinking about how he found out the truth? Let me help you answer that. I showed it to him. I pulled the record that showed you bribed the doctor to falsify his paternity test. We dropped by the doctor’s home on the way here and Black Three used his ways to get the doctor’s confirmation.”

Chapter 137: It’s Over!

 

This time, the word pale could no longer be used to describe Wu Rong’s face.

Her face was ashen, like dying embers.

There was no longer any backing propping her up.

If Xinghe could go into such details, the truth was truly out.

Everything’s over!

Wu Rong’s wrinkled face twitched slightly. Her mouth moved but no words came out.

Wushuang saw her mother’s reaction and understanding dawned.

It was over for the both of them!

The mother and daughter stood stupefied. Their previous arrogance all gone, at this moment they were like pigs waiting for slaughter.

“Mom…” Wushuang grabbed her mother’s arm and uttered in a breaking voice, “What… what should… we do now…”

So, this was what it felt like to have the world crumbling around oneself.

Wu Rong found it difficult to console her daughter because she too was at a loss. Even Black Three had sold them out, what else could they do?

Wu Rong stared aimlessly at Xinghe and challenged in a throaty and weak voice, “How did you find out about all this? You’re lying, you can’t possibly unearth all this…”

Xinghe smiled slightly, “Have you forgotten what I’m most proficient at?”

Information Technology…

As long as it was electronically recorded, with her capability, there was no information that she couldn’t find.

That year Wu Rong and Black Three worked at a state-owned company, their information had to be registered into the system. Of course, the bribe she gave the doctor could be traced through the banking transactions…

Individually, these things were meaningless but when strung together, the reality would be as clear as day.

She really didn’t expect Xia Xinghe to be that good at what she did!

“However, I’m curious. Since Xia Wushuang isn’t Black Three’s actual daughter, why the complicated ruse to trick him?” Xinghe asked purposely.

She was wearing a hidden camera that would not only record Wu Rong and Wushuang’s reactions but also their voices.

It was directly connected to a feed cam inside the car where Black Three was kept.

By then, he had been fully convinced that Xia Wushuang was not his biological daughter!

Wu Rong cackled madly. Black Three had already double-crossed her so she was going to tell all.

With a twisted face, she said, “Because I planned to make use of him from the beginning! Only through this method would he listen to my orders obediently. You tell me, is there any other better way to cultivate loyalty in an assassin?”

Xinghe questioned angrily, “So your evil plan began ten years ago‽ Even then, you planned to murder my dad and me‽”

Wu Rong didn’t feel the need to conceal anything anymore.

She stood up slowly and glared at Xinghe. She cackled like an unhinged woman. “That’s right. Even before I’d been plotting to kill the both of you! But you – you lucky b*tch – escaped both attempts on your life! No matter, Xia Xinghe, I’ll admit that you’ve beaten me but you’ll never be the final victor because that person will be my daughter!”

Before the sentence was finished, Wu Rong swiped the paring knife on the table and dashed blade-first at Xinghe!

As long as Xinghe was dead, Xia Family’s estate would still go to her daughter.

And Wushuang would escape unscathed because she was willing to bear all the crime!

With a do or die determination, Wu Rong stabbed fiercely at Xinghe. Xia Zhi who saw this in the car yelled, “Sis—”

He opened the door and leaped out of the car.

Xinghe was indeed surprised by Wu Rong’s desperate assault. After narrowly escaping the knife’s sharp edge, she grabbed hold of Wu Rong’s wrist and twisted it roughly. The paring knife clattered to the floor following Wu Rong’s scream.

Chapter 138: The Devil

 

Then, Xinghe gave Wu Rong more than a few sound slaps on her face.

Xinghe put all of her power behind every single one of her slaps. Wu Rong was disorientated and fell to the floor. Soon, she had a serious nosebleed that dirtied half of her face.

“Mom!” Wushuang screamed at the top of her lungs, “Xia Xinghe, I’m going to kill you!”

She grabbed at the paring knife that fell to the floor and wanted to leap at Xinghe. However, she stopped herself with her palm closed over the knife handle.

No, she couldn’t kill Xia Xinghe.

She was still young, her glorious future still ahead of her… She couldn’t ruin herself like this.

Her mom already planned to sacrifice herself to save her, she couldn’t disappoint her.

However, pain tore at her heart after watching Xia Xinghe treat her mom like this.

Tears came out of Wushuang eyes and her grip on the knife loosened.

Xinghe questioned her challengingly, “Why did you stop? Haven’t you and your mother been planning to murder me? Now is your best chance.”

A weakened Wushuang fell to the floor and shook her head violently. “I have no idea what you’re talking about! I’ve never plotted against you. I don’t know anything I swear!”

“So, you’re telling me everything is Wu Rong’s own plan and has nothing to do with you?” Xinghe asked sarcastically.

“Right, it has nothing to do with me, I don’t know anything!” Wushuang had been given a script and she knew she had to stick to it.

Xinghe took in her cowardly state, and turned her eyes away condescendingly.

“Sis, are you alright‽” Xia Zhi burst into the room. Following close behind were two bodyguards and a detained Black Three.

Xinghe shook her head lightly. “I’m fine. Zhi, it’s time to call the cops.”

“Okay!” Xia Zhi immediately pulled out his phone. At that moment, Black Three suddenly struggled loose of the two bodyguards and charged at Wu Rong.

He picked up her body, his face twisted with anger. “You b*tch, you have been playing me a fool, that bastard girl is not my daughter! You disgusting witch, you’ve ruined my life, and now I’m going to take yours!”

Black Three picked up the paring knife and aimed it Wu Rong. Xinghe kicked the knife out of his hand.

Black Three roared at her angrily, “What are you doing? Why won’t you let me kill her?”

Xinghe smirked chillingly, “Killing her is giving her the easy way out. Keeping her alive to suffer is the best revenge.”

Black Three stared blankly at Xinghe and shivered involuntarily.

For some reason, he had a suspicious feeling he too was going to face the same fate…

Wu Rong felt touched by a hellish chill.

At that moment, Xinghe, in her eyes, took on the persona of an ice demon, more devilish than she had or could ever be.

However, the fact that Xinghe tricked her about Black Three knowing the truth hurt her the most!

Because she fell stupidly for it…

…

The police arrived quickly.

Wu Rong and Black Three were taken into the police car, while Wushuang was asked to follow them to the police station to help with investigation.

When Xinghe walked out the villa, it was almost dawn.

An eventful night had passed but it was still not the end.

Xia Zhi groused unhappily, “Sis, even though Wu Rong and Black Three are going to receive justice, Chui Ming and Wushuang are still out there.”

Chapter 139: A Piece of Advice

 

Xinghe looked beyond the horizon and said in her usual calm way, “No worries, it’ll be their turn soon enough. Let’s go, we still have things to do.”

Indeed, they still had things to be done.

Xinghe needed to strike while the iron was hot.

Xinghe herself had said earlier she was going to make sure every single one of them was punished and she wasn’t one to go back on her words.

Unsurprisingly, Wu Rong voluntarily shouldered all of the blame.

Wushuang insisted she had nothing to do with the attempted murders and, since they already had a confession from Wu Rong, the police couldn’t do anything against her.

After giving her statement, Wushuang wanted to rush home to get Chui Ming.

Only Chui Ming could save her mother now.

Or else she would lose everything.

Even her claim to the Xia Family fortune…

“Xia Wushuang,” Suddenly Xinghe called from behind her. Wushuang turned, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and fear towards Xinghe.

Finally, she had learnt that Xinghe was not someone she could take down easily.

Xinghe looked at her icily but her words surprised Wushuang. “Due to the fact that we were once sisters, I’m willing to give you some advice. This is your only way out now, so you want to hear it or not?”

“You would be so kind?” Wushuang scoffed.

“Of course.”

Doubts entered Wushuang’s heart. Just what kind of tricks is Xia Xinghe playing?

However, beggars can’t be choosers. She was willing to take anyone’s advice then.

“…What advice?”

“It’s simple. Go back in there to surrender and accept your punishment,” Xinghe said plainly.

“B*tch, in your dreams!” Wushuang cursed angrily; she should have known Xinghe couldn’t have given her any good advice.

Xia Xinghe wants her to go down with the sinking ship? In her dreams!

“Xia Xinghe, don’t be too happy. This is not over yet!” Wushuang turned to leave. She swore then to make Xia Xinghe pay even if she had to give up everything!

By then, the only card she could play was Chui Ming.

They were after all married and had a common enemy. She believed he would help her take on Xia Xinghe.

Wushuang left in a terrible fit of rage. Xia Zhi said worriedly, “Sis, Xia Wushuang looks like she is ready to die together with us. Did you purposely provoke her just now?”

“I didn’t.”

“You mean your advice was genuine?”

“Yes. Sadly, she chose a fate worse than the law’s punishment.”

“How come I don’t understand what you’re talking about?” Xia Zhi scratched his head. However, he had gotten used to the cryptic way his sister spoke.

…

The moment Wushuang stepped into her home, she knew something was wrong.

The sprawling villa was as still as the cemetery.

Normally, four or five housemaids would bustle about the house but now there wasn’t even one of them. The living room’s door was wide open but Wushuang was hesitant to enter because it gave her the feeling that it was an entrance to a monster’s lair.

Regardless, she steeled herself and walked in. She saw Chui Ming sitting at the bar counter.

He had uncorked a bottle of wine and was pouring himself a glass. The sound of rushing liquid filled Wushuang’s ears.

Chui Ming swirled the glass in his hand leisurely like he had no worry in the world.

Wushuang sighed in relief noticing Chui Ming’s relaxed mood. “Honey, why are you home alone, where’s the help?” She moved forward and asked softly.

Chui Ming turned to look at her and asked his own question, “Where have you been?”
