Chapter 107 - Use Herself as Bait (2/2)
Yun Xi raised her hand and stared at what was in it. Then she raised her eyebrows slightly, and a sly look flashed through her eyes.
“Using their own scheme against them is simply my backup plan. I plan on using this as bait for a bigger fish.”
“Who do you want to bait?” Mu Feichi glanced at the watch in her hand, then suddenly remembered the owner of the watch in the auction manual, and frowned.
“Jiang Henglin? Your fiance in that marital contract?”
As he spoke of this man, Mu Feichi’s face got dark. His lips got very serious and a threatening aura enveloped him.
“Why do you think he’ll take the bait instead of taking the opportunity to throw you under the bus? After all, he has been bound to this marriage contract since he was a kid. He has been relentlessly ridiculed because of it, so don’t you think he might loathe you, his fiancee whom he has never met?”
Yun Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, and her eyes fell on the watch that she was squeezing tightly in her hand.
“No reason, just a gamble!”
“What are you gambling on? If you want to gamble, you have to have something to bet on.”
“I bet that he hates me.” Yun Xi chuckled softly, then raised her hand and touched Mu Feichi’s neatly trimmed hair, as she grinned like a Ches.h.i.+re cat.
“Young Marshal Mu, let’s go and watch the farce. There are still those same three rules, no interference allowed! I’ll treat this incident as a test you set for me. Otherwise, if things go wrong, don’t blame me for cutting all my ties with you.”
Before he could respond, she’d resumed her impa.s.sive countenance, then turned to open the storage room door and walked out.
The guards outside saw her, but no one stopped her, as if they had expected her to come out.
Mu Feichi stood at the door as he stared at the figure who disappeared around the corner, and his eyes were full of the intrigue he obviously felt for her.
Little rascal, I’m waiting to see how you plan on hosting this farce.
If you want to catch Jiang Henglin, what is the bait going to be?
He hadn’t expected her to be so clever and actually use herself as bait.
But in the midst of this messy state of affairs tonight, she was going to inevitably get wounded in the crossfire.
