Who is the One?!
He approaches Xiaoxiao, his body almost touching her.
“Xuanyuan Lie, so close, don’t you dare that I’ll kill you first?” Her pretty eyes turn extremely penetrating, filling the air with smell of death. She says that not because of her confident but due to an inexplicable sense of danger when Xuanyuan Lie approaches step by step.
Xiaoxiao retreats to the wall in a few steps back.
All of a sudden, Xuanyuan Lie holds out his hand and strangles Xiaoxiao’s neck to lift her up bodily against the wall.
“Err…um…” The pain around the throat makes her moan involuntarily.
“Tell me, woman, what’s your real purpose of sticking around me?!” The tone of questioning emits suffocating air from him.
Any other people would long give in.
“Hehe…” Xiaoxiao gives him a small smile, “Err…” Then, the hand steps up its threat as if to break her neck in the next second.
“What you do tonight gives me a reason to decide you as a peer of the killers.” Xuanyuan Lie’s voice becomes extremely freezing.
Neck in his hand, Xiaoxiao at this moment can only raise her head. She looks down at him, “Hehe, you…have suspected me…long before…as the peer…of these killers. No wonder…you took me…to this cellar yesterday!”
The big hand exerts more pressure to her throat, making it difficult for her to speak.
His silent is another way to say yes. The reason why he offered to take Xiaoxiao to the cellar was to check her reaction. But he didn’t expect she was so impatient to take actions so soon.
A smile plays on Xiaoxiao’s lips. Twisting her wrist, the dagger points against his chest, “I’m not a peer…of these killers! If you really don’t trust me, you can kill me…but you’ll die together with me.”
Xuanyuan Lie takes a glance at the dagger. The woman remains surprisingly calm, not a bit panicked due to his sudden appearance. The dark eyes turn cool, and by one wave, she is thrown out.
‘Sizzle.’
Her body slides a long distance until it stops. The fabric over her arms is torn up due to the fierce friction. She struggles to pull herself up.
“Cough, cough, cough…” She rubs her neck, coughing nonstop. Xuanyuan Lie is indeed fit. Ouch, it hurts.
The dark eyes turn to her, “Make a confession. If the excuse you make up is too fake, I won’t believe you.”
She slowly puts down the hand, “I dressed up as a man, true. And I have my purpose. But I’m not here hurting Night Empire, but to save people.”
“Save people?” His eyes flashes with doubts. To save the seven killers? He’d rather believe that the woman is here to kill them in case that once someone wakes up, he might reveal the person behind everything.
By Xuanyuan Lie’s look, Xiaoxiao knows that he must be thinking about the seven killers, “I come to save my son.”
Her words produce in Xuanyuan Lie’s eyes a ghost of surprise.
Xiaoxiao continues, “You should know him, the kid you took away, Mu Maomao. He’s my son. Congratulations that you bait me out.”
“You’re his mother?” Xuanyuan Lie frowns slightly. He can’t deny that he pretty likes that kiddo.
“Yes. I came to this cellar to save my son, not the seven killers. Xuanyuan Lie, don’t you think it’s too cruel to imprison a five-year-old?” The thought of her son being locked up here makes her furious.
That kind of feeling can’t be faked. It seems that she’s really the kiddo’s mom, “I decide to trust you for now. So if you’re the kiddo’s mom, it means that you’re the peer of the first batch of assassins.” The eyes narrow. The faded danger sweeps over again, even more tensive than just now.
Alas.
Xiaoxiao breathes a long sigh of helplessness, “As for this question, you’d better ask your amazing followers!”
The dark eyes still cold, he doesn’t reply.
She continues, “I was in the casino with my son, and mistook by your men as the peer of the killers. When I didn’t notice, they took my son.” She describes what happened that day in detail, which is a totally ridiculous mistake.
Her answer does surprise him, “Then how would you explain about your excellent physical skill?”
“I have no explanation. I’m just an ordinary woman working in this business. Therefore, as the head of Night Empire, please don’t bully a poor mother and her son.”
“Do you think you have the right to request that?” The chilly dark eyes shoot out sharpness. By one mere look, all the maids raise up the gun in her hands and target at Xiaoxiao. So many guns are enough to turn her into a hornet’s nest in a fraction of second.
She glances around at these guns, “Since I dare to break in, Xuanyuan Lie, do you think these guns can stop me? At least, I can definitely get out of here.” The statement is not an exaggeration. Though the maids form great pressure for her, she’s confident to escape from here.
“Aren’t you here to save your son? You can get out of course, but your son…” A subtle smile touches his lips.
“You…you…are threatening me.” Damn right, Maomao is still in Xuanyuan Lie’s hand.
“It’s late tonight. I’ll give you one night to think through. For your son, I suggest you not to resist.” The watery-soft eyes roll with subtle emotions, and the words come out of his mouth like icy beans.
The last sentence is indeed too persuasive for Xiaoxiao. Being discovered by him tonight prewrites her failure. He has Maomao as his trump card while she has nothing.
‘Clatter’. The dagger in her hand drops to the ground.
Two maids step forward and locks her up in one cell.
In the empty cell, a dim yellow light dangles over. Xiaoxiao’s hand are fixed to the wall by iron chains. It’s easy for her to get out, but Xuanyuan Lie’s words linger in her mind.
Once being brought into the cell and locked up, there is no room left for her to resist.
But even if she can put her life at risk, she can’t risk her son’s life. After aunt’s betrayal, Maomao is her only family, the only reason for her to live on.
Looking up at this cell, she feels cold… It’s so gloomy.
Is Maomao also locked up in one of these cells. What if he’s cold? Xiaoxiao doesn’t have the courage to imagine further. She almost mentally breaks down due to the pressure, but in view of the current situation, she mustn’t collapse. She must figure out a plan for tomorrow.
She has to give Xuanyuan Lie a reasonable explanation while at the same time not exposing her identity as the flying-tiger. Otherwise, there will be loads of troubles coming at her in the future.
The top priority is to save Maomao…but…Xiaoxiao instantly thinks of another serious thing.
Now Xuanyuan Lie has clues about her family massacre. After she finds Maomao, she must leave this place, and then the clues will be lost. What should she do?
