Chapter 135 - Making a Comeback

“…Right now, what you need to do is to rest and recover, not worry about other things.”

Carl gently held her shoulder and used his eyes to signal his subordinates to move the paper figurine of Wu Mei away. However, the woman raised her hand to stop them.

Staring at Wu Mei’s beautiful and cold face, she smiled faintly and said, “I’m going to B City.”

“After all, I have a score to settle with her. She killed my father and nearly killed me. She has to pay a price for these two lives!”

“If it weren’t for the fact that the Special Agents from the Ministry of Defense are all good-for-nothings and didn’t kill me completely…”

She dreamed of that day almost every night. As she lay in a pool of blood, she heard the sounds around her gradually disappear and her body slowly turned cold and stiff.

It was Carl. He was the one who rescued her when she was dying and brought her overseas to find the best doctor to treat her and save her life.

“Thank you for giving me a brand new identity and making me your fiancée.”

She raised her hand to stroke Carl’s face. Carl nuzzled his face against her palm affectionately and fondly. He shook his head and said, “Back in the days, it was your father who saved my life. This is what I should do. I still didn’t do well enough! Since you want to go to B City, I can accompany you!”

He pleaded with his blue eyes, “It’s very dangerous there. Wu Mei is very cunning…”

Zhong Ling stood up and pushed Carl’s hand away. “As the leader of the Viper Organization, there’s background information on you both internationally and with the Ministry of Defense. They will recognize you and you will be easily exposed no matter what you do.”

“Don’t worry about me. You forgot that I’m best at investigation and counter-reconnaissance. No one from the Ministry of Defense can compare to me.”

“Zhong Ling is a dead person to them and my identity is a complete blank. It won’t arouse their suspicion and draw their attention…”

“Carl, trust me. Just wait for me to give you the good news, okay?”

Looking at her, Carl could only relent and assign the top experts of the Viper Organization to accompany her to City B. With a bloodthirsty gaze, he told them, “Your mission is to protect her safety, listen to her commands and cooperate with her operations, understand?”

The assassins shouted in response, “Yes!”

In the detached villa in the Viper camp, the maid picked up a brand new snake-shaped wine glass and brought it to the bedroom. She said, “Miss Zhong, this is the farewell wine that Mr Carl sent over.”

“No, there’s no longer a Miss Zhong now.”

Looking in the mirror, Zhong Ling hooked the cufflinks on her ear and removed the gauze. Staring at the face in the mirror that was completely different from Zhong Ling’s, she said in a cold and charming voice, “You should call me Mo Li now.”

She stroked the unfamiliar face with her fingers and looked at the woman in the mirror who had an extremely western-style appearance. “Wu Mei, will you recognize me?”

“I’m looking forward to it!”

The next day, a commotion came from outside the Li Family’s villa. The butler rushed to the yard and saw the wife and children of the Li Family’s second branch rushing in.

Looking at the mourning hall that had not been tidied up completely in the living room, Sheng Hongfei cried out exaggeratedly. Looking at Li Nanchen’s black-and-white photo, she shouted, “How did such an accident happen out of nowhere? It’s simply unfair! What should we do with the Li Corporation?!”

Old Master Li pushed himself out of the bedroom on his wheelchair. When he saw Sheng Hongfei, his expression darkened.

However, she took the initiative to run to the Old Master and said exaggeratedly, “You have to take good care of your body. Don’t be too sad or heartbroken!”

“We know that the Li Family needs a mainstay. We were worried that you were advanced in age, so as soon as we heard the news, we booked our plane tickets and rushed back…”

Sheng Hongfei pushed the man beside her and signaled to him with her eyes as she said, “This is my son, Li Dongjue. Although he isn’t as capable as Nanchen, he can still help you share your burdens and solve your problems! Don’t worry about the company. You just need to give the go ahead and agree to teach him!”

Old Master Li was rendered speechless by her shamelessness. He pressed his hand against his heart and his breathing became rapid.

Sheng Hongfei saw the opportunity and took the initiative to run to the back of the wheelchair. She pretended to be nice as she massaged Old Master Li’s shoulders and said, “Now that you’ve been through the pain of having to watch your grandchild die before you, you definitely need your family’s company emotionally. We’ve been overseas all year long, so we really didn’t do well in this aspect…”

“Why don’t we move back in and live in the villa? It’ll be easier to take care of you this way!”

Sheng Hongfei could not stop a smile from forming on her face. She surveyed the villa’s environment and was about to choose a room when Old Master Li suddenly flung her hand away and coughed. He was so angry that his body was trembling.
