Shentu Tian-Yin opened her doe-like eyes aftera wish and the first direction she looked at was in Xia Lei’s direction However, Xia Lei was nowhere to be seen amidst the well-dressed attendees She suddenly felt all es
“Happy birthday, Tian-Yin,” said Ahn Suhyeon war smile from earlier had vanished fro also went up to Shentu Tian-Yin to present the gift which he had painstakingly prepared It was a painting he had done himself of Shentu Tian-Yin Applause sounded fro The real Shentu Tian-Yin and the painting of her were virtually identical, as if she were looking at herself in a mirror Whatof Shentu Tian-Yin had a beautiful, ethereal air to it
“I took teeks to paint this I hope you like it,” said Tu Qing-Long with a smile
“Thank you I didn’t think you’d be this talented in art” Shentu Tian-Yin’s gaze was on the painting but she was thinking of another person Where had he gone?
Xia Lei alking along a small, secluded, ba it but the lights were dis shadows in the already-dih alert He awakened the power of his left eye and scanned his surroundings carefully as he asked, “Where is the lady you spoke of? I’ if you don’t tell me”
He’d already scanned this waiter and he had no weapons on hiht ahead, sir Please co forward
The ba of that sort Xia Lei relaxed a little He followed the waiter and walked on
A row of ancient tiled-roof houses were at the end of the path, green-tiled and ash-walled
The waiter pointed to a house in the middle “Inside that one, sir Please enter”
Xia Lei looked at the house and the walls disappeared soundlessly from his vision He saw the woman inside and he paused when he saw her face
It was Gu Ke-Wen
Xia Lei stood a few steps away by the door and waited quietly for the door to open She had no weapons on her
He quickly scanned the houses All the houses were empty save this one, with Gu Ke-Wen in it
This was a confusing situation for Xia Lei ‘Gu Ke-Wen wants to meet me? What’s she up to?’
Gu Ke-Wen opened the door and looked at Xia Lei Her voice was calo in? I don’t have any weapons on me and no helpers either Still afraid of me?”
Xia Lei walked over No weapons and no helpers - Gu Ke-Wen was nothing He was curious about why she had turned up here, and washim in this fashi+on
Gu Ke-Wen stepped out of the way and closed the door after Xia Lei entered
“So to drink?” said Gu Ke-Wen
Xia Lei spotted a bottle of Lafite wine on the coffee table and a few cans of Coca-cola There were two long-stelasses on the coffee table and one had traces of red hile the other looked clean and untouched
“What? Afraid that it’s poisoned?” A faintsmile appeared on Gu Ke-Wen’s lips
Xia Lei shook his head “You’re right I am afraid that you’ve poisoned the drinks I have no interest in drinking and chatting with you Just say what you want to say; stop beating about the bush”
Gu Ke-Wen poured herself half a glass of red wine and downed it all “You must be happy now, huh?”
“Why a and my brother’s been arrested The Gu clan’s assets have been frozen and parcelled out for auction Those brown-nosers who’d followed ly heads now and are snatching up our assets Aren’t you happy about this?”
Xia Lei gave a small shake of his head
“Hahaha… You’re not? Oh, I know It’s because of me I’m the little fish who escaped the net, eh? Finish me off You’ll be happy then!” Gu Ke-Wen had a twisted sust whenever he saw Gu Ke-Wen in the past but right now, looking at her, all he felt was pity
“You don’t dare to kill ht, I wasn’t arrested… Because our Gu clan has a person who’s clean, and that’s et ahold of Liu Ying’s patent? I don’t know about other things but based on this one matter, I know you’re not clean You’re just lucky because things haven’t been traced back to you yet Your Gu clan has done so many bad deeds - you dare say that you had no part in any of it?” said Xia Lei
“I didn’t coh I’ht” For some unknown reason, Gu Ke-Wen calmed and looked worn out
“You called oal You can leave, or I can leave,” said Xia Lei
