Chapter 464 Dating

Zhang Heng took the coffee pot from the maid and poured a cup for Han Lu.

“Interesting. I used to like coffee. I even flew all the way to b.l.o.o.d.y Ethiopia to buy coffee beans. But now, the very smell of it makes me feel like puking.” Han Lu lifted the cup, only to put it down moments later. She looked into Zhang Heng’s eyes. “I need you to tell me the truth. Do you really have a way to help me? If I can choose how I die, I don’t want to die at work suddenly. At the very least, I should get four or five young and ripped men to keep me company, perhaps lie in the bathtub with me. Might as well spend some money and pamper me before I die.”

“I’m trying…’

“You know well enough that an answer as such is not good enough for me,” said Han Lu.

Zhang Heng opened his mouth, but his phone vibrated at the same time. It was a WeChat message by Fan Meinan. There was only one sentence, and he could see it without unlocking his phone.

(She called me!)

Zhang Heng got up. “Let’s hold on for a little longer. We’ll be getting an answer soon. You have been holding on for so long, and if you give up now, all that suffering will be wasted.”

“I know what a sunken cost is.” Zhang Heng walked to the door, and Han Lu spoke again. “If you still can’t catch her this time, can you take a few days off from school?”

“Why?”

“I have many friends, but none I want to see before my funeral. And your mother may not be able to come back in time. I don’t want to leave this world alone.”

“You are not going to die yet,” Zhang Heng said. “Since you managed to escape from Pestilence, there is no reason why you can’t survive this crisis.”

Late at night, in the suburbs~

Although there were still vehicles pa.s.sing by the overpa.s.s, the streets were practically deserted, and there wasn’t a soul to be seen.

The lady in shades emerged from the darkness. Her red high heels tapped the ground with a distinctive click, and from the steady but slow steps, it was apparent she wasn’t in a rush. The first thing that she did was to take out a pair of night-vision goggles from her handbag. After putting it on, she strolled around the area, making sure that no one would ambush her. Only after she was certain did she take off the goggles, tidy up her clothes, and walk towards the meeting spot.

Pestilence had agreed to meet her in front of a newsstand that was now closed.

The lady in shades reexamined whatever she wanted to say in her mind. Compared to their first meeting, she was now more relaxed. Since Pestilence had agreed to meet up with her, it meant that he was interested in making a deal. However, she was about to come face to face with a demon of sorts, and regardless of how much she wished she could put her mind at ease, there was no way she could fully relax.

The lady in shades arrived at the newsstand five minutes earlier, and at the same time, left an escape route for herself. To do that, she had paid 10,000 yuan to hire an amateur driver, who could come and get her within 120 seconds if something went wrong.
