Chapter 738 - Just Started (1/2)
The building where the IAmFashionista event took place was dark and empty.
However, one of its private rooms was still occupied.
The warm yellow glow from the ornate lamp shade was the only source of light in the room. On the couch was a man leaning back quietly at the backrest with his eyes closed. A silver mask was on the table.
The phone rang, disturbing the man's rest.
The man picked up the phone and answered the call lazily.
”Master… We failed.” A weak voice was heard from the speaker.
The room was suddenly engulfed with overwhelming pressure.
Even the man from the other side of the phone could feel the pressure from his master's silence.
After a long while, Ming Zhi Yi spoke slowly. ”I have planned it carefully for you and sent you many people as help, yet none of you managed to kill one weak chicken?”
”I am deeply ashamed, Master. This servant deserves to die.”
”Then die.”
”...”
”Before dying, kill that woman first. If you cannot, bring me another head instead, one that will give me satisfaction.”
The man on the other side of the phone sweated.
Bring him… another head?
To give his master such satisfaction, the head he should bring must be a person of equal value to the one they failed to kill today.
In other words, an heiress or an heir.
And none of the heirs was easy to kill.
However, the man still treasured his life, so he had to do his mission.
”Yes, Master. I shall not disappoint you any further.”
His dark eyes held cold annoyance. His anger had nowhere to vent. His people that were supposed to be capable were all useless with their tasks recently.
”Lu Jin,” he muttered.
The young man, who was sitting across Ming Zhi Yi and had his presence reduced to nothing, spoke in an emotionless voice.
”Yes, father.”
”That woman. She surprises me. Don't you think that she is being such a big nuisance?”
The man did not speak.
Ming Zhi Yi continued to talk. ”I don't know if she is just stupid or eccentric like they said. But to become an heiress and receive approval from that old man, she must be an incredible woman.”
The man still did not speak.
”Thus, I wanted to kill her to be sure. Besides, she really irked me today. What to do?”
Finally, Lu Jin moved. He looked at his father blankly. ”Father should do what he usually does.”
”Yeah, I tried that. But I did not expect that the people protecting her are quite incredible as well. Just one driver against the ten cars that I sent? I am truly impressed. It is too bad that that expert is not on my side.”
Lu Jin did not talk anymore.
Ming Zhi Yi picked up the silver mask from the table and stared at the clear reflection on the smooth surface of the mask. ”I first planned to set your little brother as the first example...”
Lu Jin, who was quietly listening, froze.
”...But I know that you will be upset, so I hesitated. And then the heiress appeared, so I turned to her instead.” Ming Zhi Yi turned to Lu Jin. ”But now that it failed, the Xiong family will surely be on tighter security and on guard after what happened. Now, my anger has nowhere to vent to. Should I turn to your brother instead?”
The man's eyes were curved up, as if seeing something amusing, yet seemed taunting at the same time.
Lu Jin was silent. His expressionless face did not give out anything.
Ming Zhi Yi laughed. ”Don't be too rigid. Of course, I will not kill that child yet, especially for such a lame reason. After all, he is still my son. Unlike Gunan, that coward still has my blood.”
