Wu Mei breathed slowly as she lay in the dark coffin. She estimated that there were only two to three hours before dawn…
The villa was as quiet as usual. Could it be that the mercenaries and the Viper Organization will give up on their plan to take action tonight?
Wu Mei frowned and turned to stare in Li Nanchen’s direction. She was about to say something to him, when she heard a short and rapid scream coming from the living room!
“Ah…” The servant’s voice quickly disappeared and was replaced by the sound of footsteps.
Wu Mei and Li Nanchen instantly became alert. All the blood in their bodies rushed up in excitement. They are finally here!
The servant raised her arm and stood in front of the coffin. She tried her best to pull herself together and stopped him in a low voice, “You can’t open the coffin. Please respect President Li and let him rest in peace!”
Li Zhuo looked a little tired. He had taken the flight back to China half a day earlier just to verify Li Nanchen’s death and get rid of Wu Mei, who had been causing trouble for them! Otherwise, Li Zhuo would keep feeling uneasy…
He respectfully took out three joss sticks and placed them in the incense burner. He pushed the maid aside and said, “I’m back to pay my respects to Nanchen. Why are you stopping me?”
“We haven’t seen each other in many years. I have to see if he left peacefully in the end!”
Li Zhuo walked straight to the coffin, his two hands pressing on the lid as he slowly pushed it open. The sound of the wood rubbing against each other was like the music from a horror movie. The servant was so frightened that her face turned pale and her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground as she dared not move an inch…
Wu Mei was a little impatient. She was worried that Li Zhuo’s commotion would wake Old Master Li up. She had to find a way to get rid of him!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A few gunshots could be heard from outside. It was as if someone had accidentally pulled the trigger beforehand. Wu Mei and Li Nanchen stared at each other as they held onto the smoke bomb and gun, waiting silently!
The mercenaries carried their submachine guns and kicked open the door of the villa’s living room. They arrogantly barged in. When they saw the servant and Li Zhuo, they were stunned for a moment. Then, they quickly grabbed their collars and threw them aside. They cursed in disdain, “Get lost! Don’t get in the way of me getting my reward!”
The leader of the mercenaries looked at the three joss sticks and sneered. He flipped them over and headed straight for the coffin.
The servant was still in shock and stood up in a panic. She covered her ears and screamed as she ran out. Li Zhuo was so frightened that he had his back pressed against the coffin and kept trembling…
