270 The Most Beautiful Many Would See (1/2)

He could only wish where ever she was staying she would stay alive and healthy, this was their time of survival and he was hoping she would make it out alive.

”This time I plan on having a little entertainment and there is no way they can stick up a good show without the b*tch of the house.” Lei Xinyi crooned although she knew he was apprehensive for all the right reasons.

If she is found, they wouldn't take her for investigation they are going to take shots at her. This was all already past fancy words and coarse alliance.

”Lei Xinyi, stay away from the underworld that asshole Li Yuan is looking for you like a mad dog on artificial hormones!” He told her with worry marring his tone.

She burst out laughing. It was beyond her why they all had such colorful thoughts about Li Yuan, ”Yeah, totally. I would stay out of his hair.” But no promises about his bed.

Lei Xinyi could hear the loud relief in his sigh, ”Good, the man is deranged and vicious, stay away from him!”

Lei Xinyi hummed and smirked.

'If only he knew…'

”Who was it?”

Silence erupted after his question perching Lei Xinyi's heart a little. Though by far both of them knew the answer, it was always hard to voice. The predator was one that they had no defense against.

The Lei's though weren't permitted in the country or in any other market because of the Li's but they had mastered the art of deception and they knew all the loose canons in the business. They were like snakes in the grass, you wouldn't know of them till you are bitten and withering in your death bed.

They didn't even need to be around to kill you they knew how to make others do their dirty works. Lei Xinyi had seen it for her own self all these years.

The incident where she washed off her hands with Viper and how Yi Yang almost killed her was the best of examples!

He had the Lei's resources at his disposal. If he pleased he could order their heads and they will be in a body bag in the next 24 hours.

Lei Xinyi jaw tightened as her face set in a scowl, ”Who else? The Bastard 'grandfather' of ours!”

Jiang Cheng quietened after the confession. In the back of his mind, he knew it already but after hearing it, he was reliving the memory of the blood of his half-sister that was spilled.

His half-sister, who had fallen to the schemes of that snake... She followed all his eccentric orders in the aspiration to live against all her siblings and when he had no use of her, he disposed of her...

With a new-found determination, he opened his eyes again. ”We will avenge all the blood loss and all the blood spilled.” He promised.

With the same ferocity as him, her heart raged at the memory too, ”By GOD, we will!” She vowed back in assurance.

Taking a deep breath, Lei Xinyi continued, ”This time I want to wrap up this circus for good. The clown isn't that hilarious anymore.”

”I am with you. Just command, I will lay my life for you.”

Lei Xinyi burst out in a humorless chuckle, ”Dear Brother, I need you alive, there is some other f*cker who has made his bed. No more blood will be lost and no more of us will go into hiding!”

”In time.”

”In time.” Lei Xinyi affirmed.

Jiang Cheng vowed back and after little formalities, she hung up. It was a bet on their life but this was a price they were ready to pay. They had been on defenses for years but what good had it done to them?

Even after living lives like that, they weren't given funerals, tombstones, or memorials. They were like shadows that appeared and disappeared in the dark abyss.
