Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Trust was like a house of cards. The mont a card was out of place, the entire structure would just co crumbling down.
Mr. Bai’s face was troubled as he paced up and down. He trembled as he took off his glasses, wiping them off on his shirt. His nerves were fried at that point.
The scarred man looked at Mr. Bai as though he was looking at a stranger. That was his first ti seeing him so distraught.
Ling Tianya was the first person that had made Mr. Bai react so negatively.
The scarred man frowned as he looked at Ling Tianya. He couldn’t let her talk to Mr. Bai anymore, he’d been restless ever since he took Ling Tianya out of the box.
“Mr. Bai, why don’t we send this woman away now?” The scarred man suggested gently.
Mr. Bai was deaf to the scarred man’s words and continued to pace up and down muttering under his breath.
“Mr. Bai... uhm...”
“Shut up! One more word, and I’ll kill you!”
The scarred man opened his mouth again, but what awaited him was Mr. Bai’s over-reaction, and a gun pointed at his face.
The scarred man was surprised and shut his mouth obediently
Mr. Bai pushed the cold barrel of the gun to Ling Tianya’s forehead. “Ling Tianya, did you think that I would let you go after you said all that? Even if not for Qu Wan, I would still do this. You’re too smart, you’d just be more trouble if you stayed around!”
Feeling the chill of the gun barrel on her forehead, Ling Tianya was a little conflicted. It was the second ti she’d toed the line of death. Right after she left the country six years ago, she had gotten into a life-threatening car accident. She had been trapped in a car with the driver dead. The oil tank had been leaking fuel and her body was leaking blood, making his start to lose consciousness.
She had survived almost miraculously. She had no lasting ailnts except for her migraines. Her migraines didn’t co regularly and were controllable through dical ans. Ling Tianya carried painkillers with her everywhere because of them.
If Mr. Bai’s finger twitched, she would lose her life.
Ling Tianya knew that every single word that she said could determine whether she lived or died.
“Mr. Bai, I really am curious. You’re a lawyer with a bright future ahead of you. You were at my father’s side for many years and you are an important right-hand man to him. My father listens to everything you say, he trusts you more than , his daughter. Is Qu Wan worth throwing that all away?”
Mr. Bai sneered. “Of course not. The child we lost is a different matter all together...” Mr. Bai’s eyes darkened because he just knew that the child is not his.
“Besides, the lawyer identity is just my disguise. That’s not who I really am.”
Ling Tianya had long thought that might be a possible outco. Why would a lawyer be involved in human trafficking? Mr. Bai was obviously in deep with a shady operation.
“Exactly who are you?” Ling Tianya asked.
Mr. Bai chuckled, “Since I’m going to get rid of you, I won’t hide it from you anymore. Miss Tianya, have you heard of the KSI?”
KSI? It was a little familiar, she seed to have heard it sowhere before.
“We’re in trouble, Mr. Bai!” Right then, one of the scarred man’s lackeys ca rushing in.
“What happened?”
The lackey pointed outside, stamring his next words, “We- We’re...surrounded by Ruan-Ruan Zeyan’s n......”
“What?!” Mr. Bai exclaid. “How did Ruan Zeyan find us here!”
Ling Tianya’s smile was serene, the blood on her mouth forming a srizing gradient with her lips.
Mr. Bai realized with a horrifying start that she knew! She knew that Ruan Zeyan would find them there!
