Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
...
... That’s too horrifying!
Xiang Wan looked at that post without blinking. Gradually, she started to lose focus, her pupils enlarged, and her vision blurred that she was unable to see the words before her clearly... On her forehead, fine beads of perspiration started to appear, and she was unable to say a word. The whole of her felt as though she was soaked in ice water.
This was all because...
This ng Chi... was the real devil.
“You’re famous!” ng Chi added, “Just like what you wrote in your novel... shoot to fa.”
“...”
Xiang Wan slowly looked toward him, not batting an eyelid.
“Did we have a feud or sothing?”
ng Chi remained silent.
A second later, he laughed. “No.”
“Then why?”
“For the sake of my belief! For the people and righteous cause!”
D*mn you! She cussed inside her head.
Xiang Wan had a feeling as though she was about to go crazy!
She gasped and cald down. “Why are you so sure that the netizens think I deserve death?”
“They will!” ng Chi was relaxed and calm; there was a smiling tone in his voice. “What netizens want is just entertainnt. It’s none of their business whether you die or not. Generally, in social events, most people only do two things, either add icing on the cake, or add insult to injury! For your case, it’s not suitable to add to the icing on the cake, so... The foolish people will only follow blindly and add insult to injury!”
Xiang Wan felt as if her heart had gone cold.
She disliked ng Chi, but she had to admit that what ng Chi said made a lot of sense.
The truth was cruel.
“And your hero Bai Muchuan... This is such an interesting matter, how can he not be around. I’ll tear off his mask... personally!”
As ng Chi said so, his eyes were shining from excitent.
“He wants to be a hero, right? No! He’s already a legendary hero! Unfortunately, the popular heroes that people prefer should be distanced from them and are only suitable for living in legends. Heroes made of flesh and blood will only be spurned upon! Especially so for a hero with feelings and desires!”
Xiang Wan tried hard to control her emotions.
“Every bad person has a reason for turning out like this in the world... I really want to know how did your soul under your mask got twisted into what it is today?”
ng Chi gave it a thought and answered very carefully, “I’m not a bad person!”
Xiang Wan: “When you kill people, you are already one.”
ng Chi shrugged his shoulders. “The silly and self-opinionated Miss Xiang, don’t try to convince soone you can’t convince. If you have the ti, think of how you’re going to welco your lover later, and how to spend a good ti with him before the two of you die?”
“...”
This is crazy!
He’s downright crazy!
Xiang Wan was roaring inside her head!
She was so overwheld with anger that she wanted to perish together with this fellow...
But she couldn’t! She was unable to do so.
This fellow was not stupid. There were two of his n standing guard at the door, about more than a ter away from them, sabers in their hands.
Xiang Wan looked at ng Chi. “You’re no match for Bai Muchuan. He will get out of here...”
She had said this deliberately to provoke him.
In her opinion, by doing so, she could get more chances to survive.
From Xiang Wan’s observation, this man was very strong in debating—he thought of everyone as scums. Even if he would be killing her, she was certain that he would wait for Bai Muchuan to arrive before killing her...
Xiang Wan believed that Bai Muchuan would co to save her.
Before that, she just needed to make sure she was alive.
And if possible, she would try to find out more about ng Chi.
“Besides, he won’t be pushed around by you. The trap that you’ve set up will have no effect on him...”
ng Chi laughed. “I knew very well what kind of person your lover is... He’s a hero! The hero is always upright. His girlfriend got abducted, he will not give up searching for you and would jump in any trap that I’ve set up for him. He has to jump right in...”
Xiang Wan looked at him indignantly.
“Well, I’ve already told him my first request.” ng Chi smirked. “I want him to co here alone...”
Alone? Xiang Wan quivered.
ng Chi sneered, “You know it, this ga would not be fun anymore if there are more people!”
Xiang Wan stayed still. “I understand now.”
ng Chi: “What do you understand?”
Xiang Wan: “Good and evil are not the most important thing for you at all. What matters is actually your judgnt as well as your likes and dislikes.”
ng Chi seed a little taken aback. “What are you trying to say?” He gave a faint smile.
“I wanted to say,” Xiang Wan sneered, “I despise you. With a lie, you packaged yourself as justice! Such hypocrisy is the greatest evil! The one who deserves death most, is you... ng Chi!”
“... Hahahaha! I deserve death? Maybe! All of us deserve death!”
ng Chi flicked his Taoist robe and went out.
“Tie her up and throw her in there!”
...
“The fish has taken the bait!”
When Xiang Wan heard ng Chi’s voice again, she tried to open her eyes.
At this mont, she was locked up in an empty, dark room.
When she was brought to this room, they had covered her head with a hood. Basing on the number of steps she took, she was quite certain that she was still inside the nunnery.
Earlier on, it was all quiet.
Now that she suddenly heard ng Chi’s voice, she trembled out of reflex.
There was no one else in this room except herself.
It was pitch dark. She searched for the source of the voice and noticed a glimr of light above her...
It was either a microphone or a cara.
What a pervert!
Xiang Wan tried to look and felt her way around.
There was nothing inside the room. If the room was made of steel... besides feeling stuffy and constrained, there was no way she could escape.
So, the fish that ng Chi ntioned, what did he an?
Could it be... Bai Muchuan?
Xiang Wan’s heart sank.
She felt a slight twitching pain.
Bai Muchuan would co.
She hoped that he would co, but she was also afraid that he would co...
She was afraid that he would really be like what ng Chi had said—that he would co here alone.
With herself as the bargaining chip, Bai Muchuan would be manipulated by ng Chi.
When that happened...
What would happen the mont he fell into his hands?
She was lucky that they didn’t torture her, but what about Bai Muchuan?
When she thought of this, Xiang Wan felt it was hard to open her eyes to look at that little glimr of light.
She was too nervous!
Her heart was beating too fast!
She sat on the floor, her eyes closed, and her fingers stroked her injured thigh, counting her heartbeat...
...
“Thud!”
A heavy crashing sound made Xiang Wan ca out of her thoughts.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that the door to the room had opened.
And light ca in as well!
As she was unable to get used to the sudden light, she had to squint her eyes.
She saw a man being pushed into the room by two big, burly n where he knocked against the tallic wall.
The tall stature, broad shoulders, and his head covered with a hood... He was standing in this space overflowing with a sense of sophisticated technology. Once again, she had an illusion as though she traversed through ti and space.
“Bai Muchuan!”
Xiang Wan heard her voice.
It was hoarse and trembling. There was even pain in it.
The man turned around, but as his hands were tied at his back, he was unable to remove the hood.
“Little Xiang Wan?” He just responded calmly.
There was nothing more tearful than this form of address.
In an instant, Xiang Wan was about to burst into tears.
She rushed toward him, yanked the hood off his head, and t his eyes.
“Aren’t you silly? Why are you so obedient?”
Bai Muchuan smiled. “It’s because you’re here!”
Full marks for the answer!
He was as relaxed as ever.
Xiang Wan wanted to cry and laugh at the sa ti.
This was because every ti when she t him... he would laugh it off no matter how difficult the situation was!
Didn’t he know that by coming here just like that, he could lose his life as well?
“My silly girl!” Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh and turned to face her. “Untie first!”
“You need to sit down first...” Xiang Wan’s wound still hurt a lot; she could not stand for too long.
She made Bai Muchuan sat on the ground.
Then she sat behind him and began to untie him...
As she untied him, she looked around the room.
Then, she lowered her volu and talked to Bai Muchuan, “Do you think they can hear us if we talk softly like this?”
Bai Muchuan gave her a sidelong glance, a smile hanging on his lips. “It’s safer if you whisper in my ear!”
Xiang Wan looked at him in doubt, but she sat a little closer to him and leaned her head over, almost resting on his shoulder. “You really didn’t bring anyone?”
Bai Muchuan: “Nope.”
Xiang Wan: “...”
How could he be so silly!
How could he comply with that request fully without bringing anyone along?
“If I do so, he will kill you.”
“... If he wanted to kill , he would have done so long ago!”
“Yup!” Bai Muchuan laughed. “But I don’t dare to take that gamble! There’s only one Xiang Wan! I can’t afford to lose!”
Xiang Wan: “...”
She felt the sour, tingling sensation in her nose and did not know what to say.
Bai Muchuan rubbed her head, behaving as intimately as ever. “He also told that he has filled the entire nunnery with explosives. If I dared to bring anyone over, all of them will die together with us...”
He’s so ruthless!
Xiang Wan quivered at his words. “Is it true?”
Bai Muchuan: “I don’t know! But when I ca here and observed these people... the possibility is very high!”
These people?
Xiang Wan paused for a second. “Did you see him?”
Bai Muchuan: “Who?”
Xiang Wan whispered in his ear, “The person we’ve been looking for... ‘The Temptation of the Rich and Famous’... the one behind the scenes!”
Bai Muchuan did not seem to have thought of that. “You’ve seen that person?” He was slightly stunned.
Xiang Wan nodded gently. In her narrowed eyes, there was a trace of hesitation. “It’s ng Chi! But I feel strange... if it’s him, what about his desperate efforts to save Xie Wanwan when she got kidnapped?
“Of course, we can treat him as a separate group of people from the Dark Clan... they should not be the ones who kidnapped Xie Wanwan...”
Bai Muchuan interrupted her and said in a low voice, “Xie Wanwan was not kidnapped by the Dark Clan! Not only that, there’s a high possibility that the Dark Clan was being made the scapegoat in the 121 case.”
He had already confird this from Huang He.
Xiang Wan was surprised. “This is strange! Which side is this ng Chi on?”
“Maybe he’s with neither?”
Maybe it was what he had told her; he just purely wanted to take out Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan?
That could be a possibility, too.
When she tried to string the sequence of incidents, there were things that were unexplainable.
Xiang Wan pondered for a mont. “Don’t you think it’s strange for ng Chi to do this himself?”
