Lee Xuiye looked at him and was trying to understand why he was behaving like this with her. Wasn"t he still worried about her before her meeting with Mo Mushan? 

Didn"t he care for her the most before her accident?

Then what could have happened to make him change like this?

Did she miss out on something?

Was he angry because she got rid of his bodyguards whom he made to trail her?

Well, if she had taken those bodyguards with her then she wouldn"t have been in this condition. She knew that she had overestimated herself against an unexpected attack.

However, didn"t she end up alive and caused that truck driver to end his life?

Right, that truck driver…

Who was he and why did he want to kill her?

She wanted to know who that driver was but as soon as she woke up she unknowingly started a cold war with Mo Lingtan.

So be it, she would ask Xiu Tao about that driver later.

And if she wasn"t wrong, Xiu Tao must have gotten news about her accident and must have gotten information for that driver also. Therefore, he would contact her soon.

Right! She could just wait for Xiu Tao to contact her and then she would handle the situation with her accident.

She just hoped her secret of working with Xiu Tao could be kept in from Mo Lingtan for the time being and then she would stop working with Xiu Tao so that Mo Lingtan wouldn"t get angry at her regarding this matter.

Lee Xuiye was immersed in her thoughts that she didn"t notice Mo Lingtan"s sinister smile and by the time she realized, she felt uneasy in her heart. 

And the first thought came in her mind for which she was worried, did Mo Lingtan get to know that she was still working with Xiu Tao?

Did Mo Mushan tell him about her gun?

She just wished Mo Mushan wouldn"t have opened his mouth yet otherwise she didn"t know how she would explain it to Mo Lingtan.

However, she didn"t know that not only her fact of keeping the gun was out but her deeds had also been exposed in front of Mo Lingtan and she just had to wait to see what would be coming towards her.

"Sure! But...how about we have a small talk first, huh?" Although Mo Lingtan seemed to be asking a question, his tone was telling her that there would be no room for negotiation.

He slowly got up and helped Lee Xuiye move up her bed so that she could be in a sitting position and he sat opposite her and calmly took out a file from the side table and put it in front of her.

However, soon his calmness turned into coldness and Lee Xuiye shuddered inwardly. She subconsciously felt cold as if she was sitting in the northern region.

Mo Lingtan"s stare had turned so cold that even if Lee Xuiye wanted to protest that she was hungry she wouldn"t dare to…

She just looked down at the contents of the file and read a few lines and she felt that her body froze up and her blood rushed towards her head to the point her brain stopped working as if someone had given her a great electric shock


This…

Lee Xuiye couldn"t bring herself to read anymore nor muster up her guts to look up to meet the cold stare which was becoming too heavy for her that she was starting to suffocate. 

The file contained the information of all her jobs which she had done for Xiu Tao. So it meant Mo Lingtan already knew that she had disregarded his words and agreed to work with Xiu Tao behind Mo Lingtan"s back.

However, how did Mo Lingtan get to know every single detail?

Did Xiu Tao betray her like Long Xue did?

Why did her people always betray her when it came to Mo Lingtan?

Lee Xuiye cursed Xiu Tao millions of times in her mind that she wished that that betrayer should die at this instant, unfortunately for her, her curse wasn"t so powerful to make it happen!

"Read it for me!" Mo Lingtan coldly said which made Lee Xuiye feel that cold thunder wind was blowing at her at a fast speed that she would be dashed in it.

Read it?

How could she read it aloud?

It wasn"t essayed on a general topic, it was her deeds where she had made people crippled and even had killed some people.

If she read it and some people heard it then in the next moment, she would be in prison for a lifetime.

After all, the walls also have ears!

Lee Xuiye just bit her lip and looked down guiltily, except this, she couldn"t come up with another idea.

"Fine! Since you don"t dare to read it then how about you tell me how should I deal with you, huh?" Mo Lingtan asked further when he saw there was no reply from Lee Xuiye.

Lee Xuiye"s heart dampened down when she heard him saying "deal with you". She knew this time, Mo Lingtan wouldn"t let her off.

No…

This couldn"t be…

She had come up with a plan!

Pitiful act?

No! This wouldn"t work on him!

Then aggressive act?

She could try it!

Lee Xuiye finally mustered all her courage and looked up to stare in his eyes and said "It is my life, I have the right to decide with whom I want to work with. I...I don"t need anyone"s permission."

"What did you say?" Mo Lingtan angrily asked as he clutched his fist to control his anger to a certain extent otherwise, even he didn"t know whatwhe would do to her.

Lee Xuiye was scared a little bit...no...no...she was scared a lot but she couldn"t go back from her words now. So she should continue with it.

"You clearly heard what I said!" Lee Xuiye angrily retorted. 

Lee Xuiye didn"t know whether it was because she was really getting angry at him now or because of her hunger but, she was losing her rationality.

She knew she might be wrong but there were some matters in her life for which she didn"t want to take his help.

Maybe it could be called her ego!

Or maybe it could be called her self respect!

She knew that this was her flaw that she was ready to do illegal work rather than taking the help of her rich boyfriend.

Rich boyfriend?

Yeah!

Lee Xuiye felt that what she had suffered from w.a.n.g Hui had become a taboo in her heart that she had a fear to trust anyone and sadly that had also included Mo Lingtan in it. After all, she had to separate from him back then because of her cla.s.s difference and her tainted background.

That was why she had disregarded Mo Lingtan"s words back then and agreed to work with Xiu Tao behind the former"s back.

However, now things were different.

Now she had money, power, and status.

Unfortunately for her, her past had come up which caused a disturbance in her present life.

Lee Xuiye didn"t know how to explain that to him!
