Chapter 589 I rather die (1/2)
Lin Hui turns his head to look at the man. His eyes flash with a dangerous light as everything about him turn into alertness.
”You're working for that loose woman?”
If Nie Chen dares to lay a hand on his boss, he will not hesitate to retaliate.
Hearing the question, Nie Chen scoffs like it was biggest joke he had heard. He folds his arms over his chest and gives Lin Hui a side stare.
”Really? You really think I would work for someone like her? I rather die than work for someone like her.”
Yue Ling doesn't say a word but stares at Nie Chen like she was reading him. She has known him way longer than any of her other subordinates, including Liu Shan.
He lost his mother to cancer when he was young and lived with his father in Fate. However, the same day she lost her parents, he too lost his father, who was the chauffer.
From young until now, he was one of the most loyal members of Fate. When she withdrew Fate from the underworld, like Uncle Zhi, he decided to leave to start his own journey. He told her that no matter where he goes, if she ever needed his help, all she had to do was ask.
However, ever since they parted ways, she only heard a few things about him, and never bothered to check up on him. It wasn't that she did care about those who left, she just didn't want to put their new lives in danger.
Oblivious to Yue Ling's inner thoughts about him, Nie Chen did not hide anything from her or the others.
He goes on to tell them about the deal Ning Mei had to offer him. From start to end, he did not leave anything out at all. He even went so far as to tell about what he's been doing ever since he left Fate and the things Wei Hongyi asked him to do.
”And then, she left after giving me the names of my targets. I mean, how can such a stupid woman exist. How can she want something that is out of her reach?”
Yue Ling listened until he was done. She looks at him for a long second, then her brows crease.
”So, this entire time you've been working for that scumbag, Wei Hongyi too?”
It wasn't Yue Ling who spoke, but Liu Shan. The assistant stares at Nie Chen with a perplex expression and spat his words in a low growl.
”Did he ever order you to hit Zhao Ya'Er?”
This time, it was Yue Ling who spoke before the assistant could. Her soft angelic voice was extremely dangerous like it could kill at this moment.
Not only Nie Chen, but even Liu Shan and Lin Hui were shocked by her question. Neither Liu Shan nor Lin Hui has heard anything about Zhao Ya'Er being abused. If Nie Chen used to work under Wei Hongyi for money, then could it be that…
”Hey, I may kill for a little cash on the side, but I swear on my life, I never once hit an innocent woman.”
Nie Chen did not hesitate to answer. His spine straightens and his righthand raise with three fingers pointing to the heavens above.
”I, Nie Chen, swore to the heavens, if I ever hit an innocent woman, I will be strike by lightning and die a slow painful death.”
Seeing his expression and words full of seriousness, both Liu Shan and Lin Hui were dumbfounded. The assistant lowers his head and slowly shakes it.
”Nie Chen, you're going to be strike by lightning.”
Struck flabbergasted by the man, Nie Chen was in disbelief. His head turns to look at Liu Shan and his nostril flares.
”After three years and that is what you have to say to me? How rude!”
”But it's true.”
From the other side of Nie Chen, Lin Hui cuts in with a serious look.
”You swore on your life that you never hit an innocent woman, but you just attacked boss who is an innocent woman.”
”…”
