The Wealthy Psychic Lady: 99 Stolen Kisses Chapter 851 - A Million Times for You (213)

She continued, “Currently, members belonging to the DK terrorist organization are widespread, especially in S Nation. I have no idea why you guys chose to become his lackeys, but I’d like to tell you, you’re going to be a lackey all the same, regardless of who you work for. So why don’t you choose an employer who’ll treat you better? I’ll give you a new ident.i.ty if you’re willing to follow me, and I’ll inform Pei Yi of your deaths. No one else will know who you are, except me.”

“What about him?” Bei Qi asked, pointing at the man whose legs were shot.

“What do you think?”

“I’ve long heard about how extraordinary you are, Ms. An. I finally got to witness it with my own eyes today. I really think you’re nowhere inferior to Pei Yi at all. You’re pretty, brave, and courageous.”

“Quit b.u.t.tering me up. Are you going to agree or not?” An Xiaoning dismissed his compliments coldly.

“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll one day return to Pei Yi?”

“If that happens, it only means that I couldn’t convince you enough to work for me. In that case, there would be nothing else for me to say.”

“Do I have another choice now? I obviously want to live. I promise to work for you,” said Bei Qi.

As soon as he answered, An Xiaoning fired a bullet at the other man and had him cremated.

“You’re indeed very decisive and resolute, Ms. An.”

“I’ve killed as many lives as you did. Regardless of the reason, you’re a coward if you don’t retaliate when you’re held at gunpoint. I was forced to become the person I am today, compelled by the circ.u.mstances I was subjected to,” said An Xiaoning, who took one last glance at Bei Qi. She then instructed her bodyguards to look after him and watch him closely.

She exited and looked up at the sun, which was s.h.i.+ning bright above her in the sky.

The warm rays of the sun could not s.h.i.+ne inside her heart, however.

Fan s.h.i.+xin walked toward her and said, “Young Madam, Young Sir would like me to help you out for the time being.”

“Good timing. There’s a very important person inside who works for Pei Yi. He’s heavily wounded. Help me get a mask made that’s tailored to his features. Then, give him a new name and list his name under a new register. Also, hire the best surgeon in town to amputate his legs.”

Fan s.h.i.+xin immediately proceeded to carry out the instructions she had given him.

She walked toward the living room slowly and seemed to be able to see her family sitting on the couch and chatting over a meal.

Yet, everything vanished in the blink of an eye.

She wasn’t prepared for this at all.

That’s how life is. People usually leave this world before they could even prepare their last words.

There was an uncrossable line between the living world and the netherworld.

She wanted to protect her loved ones while preventing herself from being threatened and harmed by others.

Hence, all she could do was to continuously enrich herself, strengthen herself, and increase her powers.

She had too many enemies, and there was no way for her to guard against all of them.

She could only do everything in her power to restore peace.

In order to achieve that, there was no way to erase the deaths she had caused or to wipe the blood off her hands.

She had been persistent in doing what she deemed to be appropriate. If she didn’t retaliate and stand up to those who were out to harm her, she would only be digging her own grave.

Wasn’t that so?

She stepped inside slowly to see that the mess had already been cleaned up by the servants.

No one could tell at all that a disastrous bloodbath had just occurred.

“Boss, that fellow is calling you again!”

She looked at the caller display and deduced from the area code of the number that it was a call from E Nation.

She stared at the screen for several seconds before picking up.

“h.e.l.lo.”

“Hope you’re doing well.”

She tried to suppress the anger and vengeance in her heart upon hearing the electrifying voice, which was all too familiar.

“Mr. Pei, your efforts were wasted, thanks to me. I wonder how you’re planning to get your revenge on me for foiling your previous plans?”

“I was too used to hearing you call me ‘Master Pei’ that ‘Mr. Pei’ sounds a little too strange now. Can’t you address me the same way you did back then?”

She decided to play along.

“Master Pei, do you like hearing me address you this way?”

After a moment of silence, Pei Yi said, “You don’t sound sincere at all.”

“How do you want me to express my sincerity? Are you happy now that you’ve caused such a mess?” said An Xiaoning, who cut straight to the chase.

“How am I supposed to be happy? Didn’t you kill my men?”

“You’re rather quick to acknowledge that fact, huh? What’s your purpose for calling me?”

“Look how furious you’ve gotten. How disappointing. You were such an expert at suppressing your emotions.”

“Sorry to have disappointed you, then. But I’ll continue disappointing you in the future, such that you’ll end up dying of disappointment.” She ended the call immediately, for she did not have much to say to him.

Displeasure was written all over Pei Yi’s face upon realizing that she had ended the call. He stared at the screen and placed his mobile phone onto the table.

He laid his eyes on the paper cranes in the large plastic bottle, his gaze icy cold.

Mo Li reported to work at Long Tianze’s bar.

She was working as a waitress, and Long Tianze offered her twice the original salary as a form of showing his concern for her.

Although she did not have the cheek to accept that much money, she could not outargue Long Tianze. Hence, in order to express her grat.i.tude, she put in her best effort in working and even stayed behind to clean up after work hours.

She felt that she had lived each day to the fullest, despite the fact that work was rather tiring.

The operating hours of the bar vary according to the season. During spring and summer, the bar usually opened for business from seven in the evening ’til two after midnight daily.

She would catch up on sleep and help her parents out in the day.

When she arrived in Night Genie that night, Long Tianze walked toward her and said, “Well… Ye Xiaotian showed up at my bar out of the blue with a bunch of bodyguards. I can’t chase them away. They just arrived a while ago. Would you like to take a day off tonight?”

“Tianze, he and I are a thing of the past now. This is my job. Am I supposed to rest every day just because he drops by every single day? Go ahead with what you’re busy with. I have to get to work too,” Mo Li said nonchalantly.

She was in charge of the private rooms on the second storey.

Coincidentally, Ye Xiaotian was in one of the rooms she was in charge of serving.

Mo Li was not burdened or pressured at all, for she had already let go of the past completely.

Business had always been smooth for Long Tianze’s bar, and he had earned the support of many loyal customers, thanks to his splendid management and customer service. The bar would undergo renovation works and get a new interior design every year, especially the private rooms, which were exquisitely and lavishly designed.

The rooms were s.p.a.cious and fully equipped with everything the customers needed.

Just as she changed into her clothes, she heard the service bell ringing from inside one of the rooms.

A sudden silence filled the air the moment Mo Li stepped foot inside the room.

Everyone knew that she was Ye Xiaotian’s ex-wife, what more his friends.

Everyone s.h.i.+fted their gazes onto Ye Xiaotian and Mo Li back and forth. They immediately understood upon noticing how Ye Xiaotian was pretending not to know Mo Li.

“Hey, this waitress looks so familiar.”

Mo Li answered, “Mister, every woman probably looks familiar to you. May I ask if you have any orders for me?”

“Get your prettiest hostess here to accompany us for some drinks.”
