Chapter 70: Saying the Most Ruthless Thing

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Lu Haiqiao was very protective.

No one could say anything bad about the person she cared about, let alone hurt them.

Therefore, to her, the word “shameless” was extremely insulting.

She sat up straight with her left elbow on the countertop and her chin in her palm.

“The person who executed it deserves to die. The one who came up with the idea isn’t innocent either.

“Su Qingya, you’ve blocked your only way out, understand?”

She used the sweetest voice to say the most ruthless and fierce words. Lu Haiqiao was like this.

Even so, Su Qingya still couldn’t believe that the useless Lu Haiqiao had such ability.

Who was helping her behind the scenes?

At the same time, in a villa in the middle of the mountain.

The sun was setting, and the afterglow dyed the sky a beautiful fiery red.

In the suspended observation platform with three white steel pillars as the base, Xie Xuan sat lazily in a grayish-white armchair with a thin laptop on his knees.

He heard footsteps at that moment.

He slowly looked up. Before he saw who it was, Zhou Nuo’s teasing voice entered his ears. “Brother Xuan, you’re here? Didn’t you go on a date? You’re back so early!”

When he got closer, Zhou Nuo threw something at Xie Xuan. “Here, I just took two cans of beer from the fridge. I’ll give you one.”

After catching it steadily, Xie Xuan opened it with one hand. After the sizzling sound of bubbles died down, he took a sip.

Zhou Nuo sat down on the sofa beside him. “Hey, I heard that the girl you like is Lu Yunge’s cousin?”

Hearing this, Xie Xuan glanced at him coldly. “How do you know?”

“Are you kidding me?” Zhou Nuo raised her eyebrows and snuggled into the soft sofa as if she had no bones. “Who am I? I’m Zhou Nuo, Young Master Zhou, the center of the global information network. As long as I want to know, there’s nothing I can’t find out.”

“Is that so?” Xie Xuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, “Then why haven’t we heard any news about the paintings ‘Flower Moon’ and ‘Night’? Is it because you don’t want to know?”

Zhou Nuo was speechless.

He should have put some mute medicine in the beer to silence his hurtful mouth!

Xie Xuan placed the beer can on the side table and picked up his charging phone without paying any attention to Zhou Nuo.

As he moved, Zhou Nuo noticed the string of dragon’s eye bodhi seeds wrapped around his left wrist.

Upon closer inspection, he realized the red bracelet was gone.

Zhou Nuo was shocked.

Xie Xuan’s grandmother, who passed away a few years ago, had obtained it from Guanyin Temple for him.

The clasp was customized according to the double X symbol, and not only that, but a special chip embedded inside allowed it to sense GPS positioning and served as a pass to enter any floor of the F country’s Double X Group headquarters and the branch in City B.

From the moment he put it on, other than showering and high-intensity physical training, Xie Xuan had never taken it off.

“Brother Xuan, that bracelet of yours…”

Xie Xuan clicked on the screen to enter WeChat, saw no messages coming in, and his eyes flashed with disappointment before he put down the phone and continued typing rapidly on his laptop keyboard.

Hearing Zhou Nuo’s question, he answered absent-mindedly, “Yes, I exchanged it for a string of prayer beads with someone.”

Zhou Nuo sat up straight and asked seriously, “Could that person be Lu Yunge’s cousin?”

The sound of typing on the keyboard stopped abruptly. Xie Xuan looked at him expressionlessly. “You think you’re quite smart, aren’t you?”

Judging by the tone, it wasn’t.

Just as Zhou Nuo heaved a sigh of relief, he heard Xie Xuan say, “But this time, you are actually correct..”
