Chapter 20: Listening to gossip

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“I … I can’t tell you,” the man said in a trembling voice. “I’ll die if I tell you. I beg you to let me go. I will kowtow to you. As long as you let me go, I will be your slave!” After he finished speaking, the man kowtowed desperately. His head was bruised and bleeding non-stop.

The coldness in Zuo Qing’s eyes had already condensed into a layer of frost. He stretched out his hand and a sharp dagger appeared in his palm. At the same time, the man in black dragged the hostage in front of him.

Shao Shijie immediately dodged to the side and even used his hand to cover his suit jacket, ” I just ordered this. Be careful, don’t let your blood get on my clothes.”

Zuo Qing fiddled with the dagger, seemingly at ease, but with a terrifying aura.

The man kept trembling, the light of the dagger piercing his eyes. He was terrified. “No, don’t. Master Qing, I really know my mistake. Please let me go …”

“You’ve used up all your chances!” Zuo Qing said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zuo Qing’s dagger stabbed into the man’s chest.

The man’s eyes were wide open as he fell to the ground, twitching.

The dagger avoided the position of the heart, so it would not directly kill the man.

The man in black handed Zuo Qing a clean square towel. He took it and wiped the blood off his hands, then threw it on the man’s face. As if he felt that it was not enough, he ordered, “”There’s no need for his finger to exist anymore.”

“Yes, sir!”

The next scene was indeed bloody and violent, which made people feel uncomfortable.

Mu Ling, who was sitting in the corner, finally understood why Zuo Qing had warned her. If it were any other girl, they might have already cried from fear.

However, Mu Ling was not frightened. She calmly looked at the scene not far away. She only felt that the man’s cries were really noisy, so noisy that she was annoyed!

But at the same time, she also understood that Zuo Qing had deliberately let her see this scene to scare her and make her take out the lion head coin.

However, it was not the right time yet …

Mu Ling stood up and whispered to Song An, “”Can I go to the washroom?”

Who could resist such a soft voice?

Song An thought to himself: ‘she’s still a young lady. She must be afraid to see such a scene …’ Furthermore, master Qing had said that Miss Ling could leave whenever she wanted to.

“Of course, ” song an replied. “Miss Ling, I’ll take you there.”

“Thank you,” Mu Ling replied.

The two of them walked out of the private room.

After Shao Shijie saw it, he nudged Zuo Qing with his arm and said, ” look at you, you’ve scared your little girlfriend away. No wonder you’ve been single for 27 years!”

Zuo Qing looked at the door, and her thin lips moved slightly.”My little girl won’t be scared off so easily.”

Shao Shijie was speechless. F * ck! He had eaten a mouthful of dog food! He clutched his chest and rolled his eyes. It turned out that Zuo Qing was inhumane when he showed off his love!

Song An brought Mu Ling to the washroom. “Miss Ling, this is it. I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

“Alright,” Mu Ling replied.

She just came out to take a breath of fresh air and to wash her hands to get rid of the smell of cigarettes and alcohol on her body.

In the bathroom, a few women with heavy makeup and alluring clothes were touching up their makeup in front of the mirror. They chatted as they touched up their makeup.

Mu Ling happened to hear them. They were actually discussing what happened at the Mu family’s funeral?

She had been taken away by Zuo Qing the moment she came out of the funeral. Although she knew that it would be a mess, she did not know the specific situation at all. Now that she could hear free gossip, she naturally wanted to hear it. She walked to the empty sink and took off her gloves to wash her hands.

Seeing that someone had arrived, the few people who had been chatting animatedly just a moment ago suddenly stopped and sized Mu Ling up. When they saw her taking off the gloves to wash her hands, they were stunned. Why was she wearing gloves on such a hot day?

She looked at her hands again. They were slender, white, and tender. When they came into contact with water, they glowed white like a piece of art. They were too beautiful, even more beautiful than a hand models ‘hands.

After a moment of envy, the few of them immediately returned to the previous topic.

“It’s really inauspicious to see so many crows flying over at a funeral. I don’t think the Mu family will be in the limelight for long.”

The woman who spoke was wearing a wine-red dress with a strapless top. She was applying lipstick in front of the mirror at the sink. Her voice was charming and attractive, but her tone was full of ridicule.

“The youngest girl from the Mu family is even more interesting. She actually took off her skirt and threw it on the ground.”

“Haha, becoming a exhibitionist at such a young age. What will happen when she grows up? ”

“That’s right. This is what it means to be a rich family. It’s just a joke!”

“I also heard that the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family who was raised on the island has also returned to Jing city. Do you think she will get a share of the inheritance? ”

“Share my ass! How could the Mu family let their illegitimate daughter take the inheritance? I think she’ll be back on the island in a few days!”

“There are really too many things that the rich and powerful do that can’t be aired out in public.”

“Yeah, if I were that illegitimate daughter, I would have stayed on the island for the rest of my life. I’d rather die on the island than come out and embarrass myself!”
