Long Xi looked at the person who was engrossed in her food and did not pay any attention to him. The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger. He did not see any weight gain from eating like this, but she was getting thinner and thinner. What was going on?
Another table of cups and plates was in a mess. Seeing that all the food had been wiped out, Shen Xiaoxiao raised her head and said to Long Xi, “No need to doubt. My muscles are weak, and I need a lot of energy.”
“Weak muscles?”
“You won’t understand even if I tell you. Tell me your plan.”
“I’ve captured the old woman and let Han Jia go. I’ll hand her over to you.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was stunned. He had captured Han Jia? But why did he let Han Jia go?
“Why didn’t you get rid of all of them? Are you reluctant?”
Long Xi took the bowl and served Shen Xiaoxiao a bowl of chicken soup before saying slowly, “Han Jia has something very important that I need to get.”
“Are you sure it’s not because you’re reluctant to part with her?”
Long Xi gave a rare smile and then said, “If it were you, I would be reluctant to part with her. But her? She’s not worthy.”
Shen Xiaoxiao ignored him. If he could capture Grandma Lin, it would be a happy thing. As for what he said Han Jia had in her hands, as Long Xi, everything had nothing to do with her, she only cared about the children’s safety.
“Does that mean that our two families have officially terminated our partners.h.i.+p?”
“In theory.”
“In theory? What about reality?”
When Long Xi heard this, he suddenly moved closer to Shen Xiaoxiao and gently exhaled a breath of hot air into her ear. With a hint of temptation, he used his unique deep and hoa.r.s.e voice to say again, “As a matter of fact, I want to continue the merger with Xiaoxiao. After all, I was very satisfied that night.”
Shen Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at him. She was not surprised at all. Instead, she calmly wiped her mouth and took a step back.
“You were indeed satisfied that night. You killed so many people. Why? Does it feel good to kill people?”
There was no reaction at all. There was not even the slightest flicker of movement. Could it be that he had made a mistake?
But how could it be? Was it really his dream?
No, absolutely not. It was so real, so vivid.
“Is Xiaoxiao too shy to admit it? I don’t mind helping Xiaoxiao recover her memory.”
She got up and couldn’t be bothered to look at the man in heat. It was impossible for him to have memories. It would be weird if he had memories in such a situation. She didn’t believe that he could expose her with just a few words.
“You haven’t eaten anything tonight, and you’re already full of yourself? Go back and sleep early. Remember my people. Starting tomorrow, the Dark Empire will no longer have any qualms about attacking the Western District’s 24th Street. I’m looking forward to the battle with Boss Long.”
Shen Xiaoxiao wanted to leave, so Long Xi was naturally unwilling. However, looking at Shen Xiaoxiao’s business-like manner, his heart was like being scratched by a cat’s paw. He could only say:
“Is the alliance going to end so soon? I really can’t bear to part with it.”
“Can’t bear to part with it? Then show me some sincerity. Maybe I’ll be happy to extend the cooperation plan?”
“Sincerity? What does Xiaoxiao want?”
Long Xi looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s proud look and felt like he liked her no matter how he looked at her. Shen Xiaoxiao did not care about him and said directly, “For example, the thing in Han Jia’s hand.”
After saying that, she walked out of the room. This time, 19 had been waiting outside. She didn’t dare ride his car anymore. It was troublesome.
After Shen Xiaoxiao got in the car, 19 immediately said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Dark 1 has returned to China with Little Treasure.”
“Returned to China? So suddenly?”
“Yes. It seems that Han Jia does have something that Long Xi wants. I think Long Xi will probably return to China as well.”
“Long Xi doesn’t know his ident.i.ty. Why is he going to China? Is he going for the life-saving fund, too?”
“This? Wait, this is not right.”
Shen Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of something. What did Han Jia have? Han Jia’s real name was Lin Weiwei, the granddaughter of Grandma Lin. Long Xi was not a fool. It was impossible that he did not know what would happen if he caught the shark and let the crocodile go. But he just let Han Jia go. Why?
It must be because the things in Han Jia’s hands really interested him. But what did Han Jia have in her hands? The life-saving fund? The Shen family was very active in saving lives. If Han Jia were to work with Long Xi instead, she would want the Yin-Yang Fruit and Long Xi would want the wealth. Wasn’t that killing two birds with one stone? How could she be so stupid to believe Long Xi? Shen Xiaoxiao immediately got out of the car and walked back to the private room.
Long Xi was still sitting in the same posture and appearance, but there was a cup of tea in his hand. He looked as if he was sure that she would come back and was not in a hurry to sit there and wait for someone.
“You know?”
“Know what? Didn’t Xiaoxiao come back because she missed me?”
“You know about the Shen family’s fund? Do you want money?”
“Hahaha, Xiaoxiao is really smart. I thought that it would take a while for Xiaoxiao to turn back.”
Shen Xiaoxiao frowned. This Long Xi was really capable. He even found out about this. But the Shen family’s fund was hers. No one, including Yan Kuan, could get it.
“You didn’t forget my surname is Shen, right? Since you want the Shen family’s fund, it looks like Boss Long is officially making an enemy out of me.”
Long Xi raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao without saying another word. Shen Xiaoxiao glared at him fiercely and turned to leave without stopping.
Sure enough, he was a troublesome man. No matter which ident.i.ty he had, he was always so troublesome. She shouldn’t have saved him. She shouldn’t have.
Once she got into the car, Shen Xiaoxiao was so angry that she said to 19, “Arrange for ten young models to be sent to Long Xi’s place.”
Why was she so angry when she turned around? When 19 saw how angry Shen Xiaoxiao was, he did not forget to add fuel to the fire:
“Do you want to arrange for ten more men?”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at 19 and said after a long while, “You really know how to do this. This idea is not bad. Anyway, even if he doesn’t need them, Dark 1 can still use it.”
19 immediately shut up. As expected, he could not joke with Shen Xiaoxiao. When he joked with her like this, he was really asking for trouble.
…
The next day, as soon as Long Xi arrived at the office, he saw two rows of men and women standing at the door. There was a row of handsome men and a row of beautiful women. There were all kinds of skin types and colors. It was a dazzling sight.
“Boss, Boss Shen asked someone to deliver this. She said it was a cooperation gift.”
Long Xi raised his eyebrows. Was Xiaoxiao really angry? How could such a gift be given out? But it was really cute and tight.
“Well, take it. Go and tell Boss Shen personally that I’m very satisfied with the gift, especially the ten beautiful women. As for the return gift…”
Long Xi smiled evilly, turned around, and made a call.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at the nearly one hundred sets of underwear on the table, and her face turned red.
The words on the small card made her even angrier. “The size is just right. I hope I can see you wearing them next time.”
Shen Xiaoxiao was furious. What awaited Long Xi was a powerful attack.
…
“Boss, the goods that were sent to D Country have been robbed.”
“Boss, another place has been destroyed.”
“Boss, there were people who absorbed a large number of our shares as soon as the market opened this morning.”
…
All the questions appeared in the morning. Long Xi revealed a devilish smile. The war had really begun….
