"Good job. I have sent you the money already." A woman"s voice was heard from the other line.
"Yes, I just received it."
"I have another job for you. The next target is s.h.i.+ Yi. With him gone, s.h.i.+ Enxi"s relations.h.i.+p with Lu Mello will be severed completely."
"Yes, ma"am."
After the call ended, the man wearing black clothes kept his phone.
"Boss, are you sure that Madam won"t find out about what we really did?" The man sitting on the driver"s seat asked.
"As long as we keep quiet about it, she won"t know about it. We are the only ones who know the truth."
"What if that woman is still alive?" His companion asked worriedly.
"That"s impossible. She may have escaped but with that kind of blood loss, she will surely die."
(5 hours ago)
Lu Weichun"s car crashed on the railings when she tried to avoid a car.
The car that she evaded stopped and a man came out in a hurry.
"Master, this doesn"t look good! What should we do?"
A man in a black suit was sitting on the backseat. He opened the car door and went out. "Let"s get her to the hospital."
His a.s.sistant hurriedly went to get Lu Weichun out of the car. "She"s heavily injured! She"s losing too much blood!" His a.s.sistant said in panic after placing Lu Weichun on the ground.
"Move." The man gazed down at Lu Weichun"s body and saw that most of her bleeding came for a stab on her stomach.
He knelt and tore his sleeves. After tying it around her stomach to apply pressure on it, he carried her. "We can"t stay here for long! Let"s go, she needs to be treated as soon as possible!"
The man brought Lu Weichun in the car and left in a hurry.
Meanwhile, the men who tried to kill Lu Weichun, Chen Gao and Xin Jun, reached a few seconds after her saviors left.
They found the car empty
"s.h.i.+t! She escaped! Madam won"t be pleased if she learned that we didn"t kill her today, boss!"
Chen Gao clenched his fists tight. What should he do? They needed the money and if she learned that they failed, she won"t give them a single cent!
A car stopped and a woman came out of the car. She stopped because of the car accident that happened.
"This is bad, have you guys called for an ambulance? The police?" The woman worriedly asked.
A thought suddenly came in Chen Gao"s mind. The woman"s body frame was similar to Lu Weichun. If he wounded her face, others won"t be able to recognize her.
After disposing of the woman"s body, Chen Gao turned to his car and called, "Ming Ren."
A woman with short hair and weak features came out of the backseat, "Yes, brother Chen?"
"You stay here and act as a witness."
"Okay."
Chen Gao turned to Xin Jun, and ordered, "Dispose of any identifications that belonged to the woman. Look into her car as well."
"Brother Chen is so smart!"
"Of course he is, without him, we would have been caught by the police a long time ago!"
"That"s enough. We can"t let anyone see us together so hurry up."
"Here, Nanny Mo Jing made porridge for you. It will be good for you and the baby." Lu Mello placed the bowl of porridge on the bed table.
"I don"t feel like eating..."
"Xi"er, you have to force yourself to eat." He sat in front of her. "I"ll feed you."
s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lips we"re stretched into a thin line. She really didn"t want to eat anything as of that moment. When she saw him reach out for the spoon, she grabbed it before he did. "I can do it myself."
Lu Mello felt that she was trying to avoid him. He felt more guilty than ever because of what he said earlier.
He lowered his head, "I"m sorry... About what happened earlier."
s.h.i.+ Enxi paused for a bit before she continued to eat without saying a thing.
"Enxi... I should have trusted you."
"Then why didn"t you? Even if I tried to comfort myself, telling that you are only acting that way because of your sister"s situation... The pain won"t go." She placed the spoon down and turned to him. "Do you know how much it was hurting me when you were accusing me of something I didn"t do? If I wasn"t afraid of losing you, I would have left you now! How can you doubt me, your wife?! Is it because I tried to kill people back then?!"
A loud crispy slap was heard in the room.
Lu Mello"s cheek was stinging in pain and was burning red because of the slap s.h.i.+ Enxi gave him.
"Get out. You"re making me lose my appet.i.te."
"Xi"er..."
"I said get out!"
Lu Mello didn"t want to anger her any further. Despite wanting to stay by her side, he was worried that he would just end up hurting her more so he didn"t have a choice but to go.
"Let me know if you need anything."
s.h.i.+ Enxi ignored him. She took the spoon and she continued eating the porridge instead.
After she had her fill, s.h.i.+ Enxi called Huang Li. He was the only one she could go to whenever she was down.
Huang Li answered the call within seconds. "h.e.l.lo, Xiao Xi?"
"Gege, are you busy?"
"No, I am not."
"Where are you?"
Huang Li noticed how weak s.h.i.+ Enxi"s voice was so he ended up getting worried, "Is everything alright?"
Alright? No, everything is not alright. Everything was breaking into pieces.
"Xiao Xi?"
"I"m at Mello"s place. Pick me up right now." s.h.i.+ Enxi ended the call after.
She got out of her bed. She went and changed her clothes before she went out of the room. She was surprised to see Lu Mello, standing beside the door.
Was he standing there since earlier?
Lu Mello straightened himself. He noticed how dressed she was so he curiously asked, "Where are you going? You should be resting."
"I don"t want to stay here. I want to stay at Huang Li"s place for the night."
Huang Li"s place?
"Xi"er." Lu Mello warned. He never liked Huang Li and knowing that she was going to his place made him cautious.
s.h.i.+ Enxi raised a brow and crossed her arms, "What? Are you going to lock me up in our room and suffocate me until I forgive you?"
"That"s...-"
"Not going to happen." She continued. "Mello, I really need some time to think and I can"t do that with you here. Don"t worry, I will take care of the baby and our health. I will also come back once I have calmed down."
"But Enxi... Do you really have to stay with Huang Li?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi"s lips curled up a bit, "Are you doubting me again? Do you think that I will cheat on you?"
"I didn"t mean to put it that way."
"But you already have." She pa.s.sed by him. "Your presence is suffocating me right now. It"s bad for our baby so I will now take my leave. Please don"t stop me."
