Zhang Jiangs first reaction was to beg for forgiveness, I dont want it, I dont want it! My great ancestor, please spare me! In the past, I wasnt enlightened so I spoke some nonsense. How could I even dare to ask for your money?!

Who said that Id give you money? Ning Xi threw a kick.

After rolling over and standing up, Zhang Jiang wore an innocent expression, But didnt you just say

He was about to go crazy from all the abuse he was getting from this persons mood swings.

Ning Xi cast him a cold glance, Stay at home and wait for me to contact you. As long as you cooperate with me, therell be money in it for you. Otherwise

Ah? She still wanted to contact him? Hadnt he already give her everything she wanted? Werent they agreed on never crossing paths again? Why was she still hounding him?! He didnt want any money! He preferred to stay alive!

Zhang Jiang had a lot of unspoken complaints, but all he could do was agree to her demands and thank Ning Xi a thousand times for her kindness and grace as he sent her out.

After going downstairs, Ning Xi put on her helmet and started up the engine before speeding straight towards the Lu residence.

When she arrived at the Lu residence, she was actually an hour earlier than the time she had agreed on with Lu Tingxiao.

When she entered the living room, Lu Tingxiao was just as she had left him. He was still sitting on the living room couch, looking as if he hadnt even budged at all.

Ning Xi didnt think much of it. She asked immediately, Lu Tingxiao, Im back! Did Darling Little Treasure wake up?

He hasnt.

Alright, thats good. Im going up to check on him!

Hold on. Lu Tingxiao suddenly called out to stop her.

Uh, whats up? For some reason, Ning Xi felt like Lu Tingxiaos mood wasnt quite right.

Where did you go? Lu Tingxiaos tone was calm and even, yet it felt like there was something dark hidden beneath the surface.

Ning Xi instinctively sensed the danger and responded hastily, I went out to handle some personal matters, thats all. Everythings already been settled! Ill be going upstairs now!

She tried to slip away right after she finished speaking, but an arm suddenly reached over. A second later, caught off guard, Ning Xis body was pulled with some force and she fell onto the couch.

More accurately, she fell into Lu Tingxiaos embrace.

Ning Xi was shocked. What surprised her even more was, Lu Tingxiao! Y-You What are you doing? Where are your hands going?!

Lu Tingxiao completely ignored her and continued to touch her all over.

Hey, Im going to fight back if you continue like this! You cant blame me if I hurt you then!

Then do it.

Ning Xis nerves were practically about to collapse, F***! Lu Tingxiao! What are you trying to do? Youve already figured out that I cant make a move against you, havent you?

Lu Tingxaio stared at her expressionlessly, Why cant you make a move against me?

I Because

Thats right! Why? If it was anyone else, her first reaction would have been to dole out a generous beating

While Ning Xi was racking her brains to come up with a reply to that question, Lu Tingxiaos hands landed dangerously upon an object behind the waistline of her pants.

Ning Xis eyes immediately flashed. She wanted to stop him, but it was already too late. The gun that was hidden behind her waist appeared in Lu Tingxiaos hands in an instant.

Lu Tingxiao immediately threw the gun onto the coffee table in front of them. The usual exceedingly gentle expression he used towards her had turned as cold as frost. He spit out a word like he was shooting a blade of ice, Explain.

Ning Xi immediately felt like she had been caught red handed cheating on a test by the teacher. Her face paled and she fiddled with her fingers. With great effort, she put on a carefree expression and spoke, Hehe, its just a fake! Its a toy gun that I bought to play around with!

Is that so? Does a toy gun need a silencer? Lu Tingxiao cast her a sideways glance and picked up the gun. He pointed it directly at a palm-sized, white jade flower vase sitting in the corner and opened fire.

The flower vase immediately shattered into tiny pieces.

The calm expression that Ning Xi had been using all her strength to keep on her face also shattered just like the flower vase
