"Am I what? The mother? Of course, not!" Feng Xiao Qing denied. She didn"t want the underground people to know about her real ident.i.ty. It would only bring her more troubles!"Then... why?" Du Fu couldn"t help but ask. He sighed in relief because it seemed like the men species still had good eyes for not choosing this barbaric woman. If Feng Xiao Qing knew his thought, she would certainly pummel him to death!
"I"m the mother"s sworn sister," Feng Xiao Qing found a suitable excuse and blurted it out without thinking. "And the daughter is my G.o.ddaughter!"
d.a.m.n! Du Fu cursed inwardly. How the heck he supposed to know that far?! He already asked for his subordinates to check on those two"s backgrounds, who knew that they would fail to find out such an important piece of information!
Du Fu anxiously asked, "What... what do you want me to do?" He knew that he was in a real deep s.h.i.+t this time. Out of so many people and he had to offend this woman. She had been gone for a long time and now... she"s back because of him! Even the other gangs would certainly blame him because of this!
"Before I beat you up, you should tell me who hired you..." Feng Xiao Qing looked at him and pointed at the seat beside her, "Sit here! You have a long story to tell." She calmly said.
Qin and Lang who looked at the scene scowled. "Why is there no action tonight? Only one man dared to go against her!" Qin complained. He really wanted to see her sister in action but once everyone knew her real ident.i.ty --- they became scared.
Lang answered, "It seems like she"s really indeed a legend."
"What are you talking about?! Of course! We are there with her! Do you have memory loss?" Qin exclaimed. He saw Lang"s stubborn face and knew that he only said that because he felt hurt by Feng Xiao Qing"s sudden leave. She left without a trace with only a note that telling them to take care and behave themselves.
It hurt both of them, but although Lang was the aloof one and seemed to be detached from the worldly affair, he was several times more melancholic and sensitive than him. Feng Xiao Qing"s disappearance made him several degrees colder and rarely talk --- except, with him. "You have to learn to forgive! Maybe she has so many reasons that she can"t tell us..." Qin trailed off at the last part because he wasn"t really sure about it too. He just wanted to make a justification that Feng Xiao Qing didn"t actually abandon them.
They sighed and looked at the bar once again. Well... the least they could do was protecting Feng Xiao Qing when she appeared as Red Jasmine once again.
Feng Xiao Qing heard Du Fu"s explanation. He received the payment from a foreign bank account that couldn"t be traced. At first, he also felt weird. For a simple arson, why did they go to such length with the secrecy? That"s why he had checked the mother-daughter pair"s background. When he found out that nothing was amiss, he received the job.
Du Fu realized why they needed to be anonymous. Their real target seemed to be Red Jasmine... F*ck! Someone was deliberately messing with him!
"You... did you live there?" Du Fu asked curiously.
"Once in a while..." Feng Xiao Qing answered in vague.
Du Fu sighed in relief.
"By the way, you usually never fail your mission. Why do you fail now?" Feng Xiao Qing asked.
"Eh? But I didn"t fail the mission," Du Fu said.
"Huh?"
"Our mission is just to do the arson... burn the house when no one is inside the house," Du Fu answered.
Feng Xiao Qing pondered over it for a bit. So... they didn"t want to kill her? Instead, they wanted to lure her out from her retirement. But for what purpose? Feng Xiao Qing asked, "Have you ever meet up with the people who hired you?"
Du Fu shook his head honestly. "Never! They gave the order to one of my subordinates. Probably he knows something!" He had almost forgotten about this part. After becoming his own boss, every job had been mostly handled by his left-hand right-hand man and he usually only kept an eye on them or checked the account once in a while. It seemed like he needed to pay more attention after this. They seemed to be incompetent!
Feng Xiao Qing looked at her watch and knew that she already wasted too much time here. "You go check to your subordinate and I want your answer tomorrow!" Feng Xiao Qing didn"t hesitate to order Du Fu, after all, this man used to be her lackey too. It seemed like he never forgot how she dealt with traitor.
"Good!" She thought to herself smugly. Even though she didn"t intend to become wild once more, other people didn"t need to know that.
"Er... tomorrow... will you come here again?" Du Fu asked meekly. He just hoped that she wouldn"t. One meeting with her was enough!
"No..." Feng Xiao Qing laughed. Du Fu almost sighed in relief until he heard the next part, "Give your phone number. I will call you tomorrow, so you better be prepared."
Du Fu cursed inwardly. It seemed like he wouldn"t be able to run away from her. By giving her his phone number, it had become his shackles. He gave her his number in defeat. He knew that once she had called, he needed to pick up her phone right away --- she always hated waiting and this woman had a really short temper!
Feng Xiao Qing didn"t give him her number, because she thought that it was better to have a separate phone for her business with the underground world from now on. Tomorrow, she will be the one who contacts Du Fu.
After everything was done, she went out of the bar and left no trace. In reality... she hid in the corner of a dark alley where she put on her makeup just now. This time, she needs to erase the makeup as soon as possible. When she looked at her watch, she only hoped that Lu Yi Feng was still sleeping.
