âHe Shan, there are a lot of things in this world that a self-righteous villain like you could never understand,â Lu Beixiao smirked and mocked.
Some of the elders were so scared at that moment, they could have gotten a heart attack.
âTake them all away. Kill those that resists arrest,â Lu Beixiao ordered and shortly after, the elders and their subordinates were all handcuffed.
âBrother Mu! I know He Shan has a vault! I am willing to take you to it and retrieve large amounts of stolen money. Please, spare my life,â Pan Ling tried to bargain.
Lu Beixiao looked at Pan Ling suspiciously.
âMu, let me go. All my gold is yours! You can have it all! Just let me go,â He Shan said in attempt to tempt Lu Beixiao.
He had long heard that He Shan has a secret vault where he hides stolen money. However, he did not know where it was. He Shan had never revealed its location even to his most trusted aide.
âLead the way,â Lu Beixiao said in a deep voice.
...
âHurry up and move!â Ye Cheng shouted as he pointed a gun to the back of He Shanâs head.
He Shan raised his hands in surrender and quickened his pace.
Lu Beixiao walked towards Pan Ling, who was being escorted by three shorter men. When she saw Lu Beixiao walking over towards her, Pan Ling was fearful and cried, âAh Mu! Donât, donât kill me!â
âI will not kill you unless its necessary. Now, tell me the exact coordinates of the vault,â Lu Beixiao asked in a deep voice.
âItâs, itâs in the cave!â Pan Ling said in a trembling voice.
Lu Beixiao knew from one look at her evasive gaze that she did not know where the vault was.
âKill her,â he said in a deep voice.
âNo, no, no, Mu... I, I still have information on drug dealers all over the country. Iâll give the details to you. Donât, donât kill me!â Pan Ling realized that she had been exposed and quickly begged.
âAunt Pan! Iâm sorry but the distributors you mentioned have all been caught!â
The voice made Pan Ling turned pale in disbelief as if she saw a ghost.
A beautiful girl wearing a white shirt and her hair tied into a ponytail got out of the police car and walked up to her. Pan Ling was shook.
Pan Ling thought she was seeing a ghost. Her legs gave way and she fell to the ground. Her eyes were wide open as she looked at Ye Qiaoâs beautiful face.
âYou, you, you, you...â Pan Ling stuttered repeatedly in disbelief.
Ye Qiao crossed her arms and stood beside the tall and heroic Lu Beixiao. Lu Beixiao put his hand on her shoulder and the corners of his mouth curled into a loving smile as he looked at her with a gentle gaze.
Pan Ling was unable to comprehend what was going on.
âI... I... Why didnât I die, right?â Ye Qiao mocked Pan Ling with her lips curved into a smile.
Pan Ling nodded while her whole body trembled as she wanted to know what was her relationship with Ah Mu.
âAuntie Pan, I faked my death obviously,â Ye Qiao said with a smile,âI pretended to be dead for you actually.â
âDo you really want to know my relationship with him?â she asked as she turned to Lu Beixiao and then back to Pan Ling.
Pan Ling nodded instinctively.
âHeâs my man!â Ye Qiao said domineeringly, âto be precise, heâs my husband.â
Thinking of what Lu Xiaogun had told her and what Pan Ling had said when she seduced Lu Beixiao, Ye Qiaoâs eyes filled with hatred. She glared at Pan Ling and felt disgusted.
