Ch. 217 - The Devil from Heaven
Mid-Mountain Manor.
The night was as black as ink, and the moonlight spilled down like water, casting a silver veil over the endless golf course.
The high-intensity artificial lights made that bit of moonlight seem too insufficient, only serving as an embellishment.
On the teeing ground, a few male and female players were constantly swinging their clubs, sweating profusely.
But even though they were tired, they didn't dare to rest. They could only swing their arms non-stop, like robots.
"Is the person back?"
In the rest area, there was only one rocking chair. Peng Mingxi was leaning on the recliner, which was covered with a thick blanket, her expression weary.
A group of people surrounded her, afraid that a single gust of wind would blow this sickly Peng Mingxi away.
"They're back. They're on their way here now."
Butler Wei Ming immediately stepped forward and replied respectfully.
Peng Mingxi didn't even lift her eyelids, just let out a weak "mm."
Butler Wei Ming hesitated and glanced at Peng Mingxi, wanting to say something, but then swallowed it back.
For a sickly person like Peng Mingxi, who could be sent to the hospital if the temperature dropped by half a degree, it was best to stay in the house, out of the wind and sun.
But perhaps it was that the more you lack something, the more you need it.
Peng Mingxi's bones could scatter at any moment, so she loved to watch people swing their clubs on the sports field, full of youthful vitality.
The wind gently blew the ends of Peng Mingxi's hair. She squinted at the vast distance, her thoughts unknown.
The golf course once again fell into a dead silence, with only the sound of the players constantly swinging their clubs.
Peng Mingxi glanced at the sweating players, her eyes filled with disgust.
So stinky.
"Go wash up in the lake."
Peng Mingxi said casually. The players who were swinging their clubs instantly stood up straight, their spirits tense.
And after hearing the command, they were taken aback for a moment.
Even if the weather was getting warmer now, it was still late at night. The lake water was bone-chilling.
"The young miss said that you've been sweating from exercise. Go take a bath in the lake."
Butler Wei Ming was always observing Peng Mingxi's expression. When he found that she was a little unhappy, he quickly repeated it to the players again.
After all, by the time Peng Mingxi was really angry, it wouldn't be as simple as just a swim.
The players seemed to have reacted as well. Without saying a word, they ran directly to the artificial lake.
Facing the cold lake surface, they only hesitated for a few seconds. A few people gritted their teeth and jumped in with a splash.
"So boring."
Peng Mingxi averted her gaze with no interest.
Butler Wei Ming instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Even though he had been with Peng Mingxi for so long, he often encountered situations he couldn't handle.
If stories like to add a buff to a villain to explain why they became a villain...
Then Peng Mingxi's evil was without any reason.
She did everything for only one reason: 'boredom.'
Ring ring ring.
A shuttle bus drove over from not far away. Butler Wei Ming instantly let out a sigh of relief.
Finally here!
A few bodyguards in black suits dragged a long-haired man over like a dead dog and threw him to the ground without mercy.
"Cough, cough, cough, Miss Peng."
Even though Fu Chenyun had been thrown hard, the first thing he did after recovering was to quickly stand up and greet her.
After not hearing Peng Mingxi's words for a long time, Fu Chenyun carefully looked up.
Peng Mingxi was quietly leaning on the large, comfortable recliner, like a delicate lily that had been ravaged by wind and rain.
Her perennially pale face was as delicate as porcelain, her brow slightly furrowed from pain, a picture of a sickly beauty.
And at this moment, her porcelain-white fingers were tapping on the armrest, one by one. Fu Chenyun instantly broke out in a cold sweat and immediately lowered his head.
After a long while.
Peng Mingxi coughed for a while and said flatly.
"So, you didn't bring the person back."
"I-I-I'm sorry, Miss Peng!"
Fu Chenyun immediately bowed deeply to Peng Mingxi but was directly kicked over by a bodyguard, who reprimanded him.
"Do you want to shorten the young miss's life!"
Heh.
'This sickly person won't live long even if her life isn't shortened, right?'
Fu Chenyun endured the pain and got up, still having the leisure to complain in his heart.
Damn it.
How on earth did Lu Xing stay under this seemingly fragile but actually vicious, dead sickly person's hands for so long?
'I really deserve to die.'
To have given Lu Xing, who had just come out of the novice village, a hell-difficulty instance.
"I'm sorry, Miss Peng. It's my fault! I've memorized my meeting with Lu Xing, and I will repeat it to you without any omissions!"
Cursing in his heart, his mouth was extremely obedient.
Fu Chenyun was honest now.
Peng Mingxi didn't even bother to look at him and nodded lightly.
...
Twenty minutes later, Fu Chenyun's throat was almost smoking from repeating, but he didn't dare to move.
"Miss Peng, that's how it is."
Finally finished!
Fu Chenyun let out a silly laugh. Look, my memory is not bad, right!
The air was silent.
After not getting a reply for a long time, the smile on Fu Chenyun's lips gradually stiffened.
After an unknown amount of time.
Only when Fu Chenyun's legs had started to go numb did Peng Mingxi finally open her golden mouth.
"So, you didn't bring the person back."
Fu Chenyun: ...
Sis!
I really tried my best!
I'm just a scumbag, not a human trafficker!
Do you want me to kidnap Lu Xing?
"I'm sorry, Miss Peng."
"Is being sorry useful?"
Peng Mingxi said lightly, her expression calm.
Fu Chenyun was so scared his legs went weak. He immediately said.
"Mi-Mi-Miss Peng, this time it was my fault for not handling it well. Please forgive me! Next time, next time I will definitely do it well!"
After a moment.
Peng Mingxi seemed to want to stand up. The people around her quickly supported her, but she gently pushed them away.
She walked to the teeing ground where the players had been standing just now. She held out her hand, and a brand-new golf club was handed to her.
"Come here."
What does this mean?
Fu Chenyun was taken aback for a moment and was directly pressed to the ground in the teeing area by two bodyguards without hesitation.
A golf ball was placed on the back of Fu Chenyun's head.
At this moment, the person Fu Chenyun hated most in the world was whoever had forced him to sleep on his back as a baby, giving him a flat head.
Ahhhhhh!
What kind of twisted game is this?!
Peng Mingxi's face was calm. She looked at Fu Chenyun, whose veins were popping on the back of his hand, and suddenly felt bored.
With a clang, she threw the club to the ground.
"So boring."
No one was even a tiny bit as interesting as Lu Xing.
So boring.
Peng Mingxi looked back. A bodyguard quickly picked up the golf club that had fallen on the ground.
Peng Mingxi stood on the side and said faintly.
"Let my man swing ten times. If he doesn't hit the golf ball in ten times, then I'll forgive you."
Thump.
Fu Chenyun looked up in disbelief, and the golf ball on the back of his head rolled to the ground.
Ten times?
Even someone with Parkinson's wouldn't miss, would they?!
The Peng Mingxi in front of him was wearing a white dress, standing here weakly, like a fairy from the moon palace.
But now.
Fu Chenyun felt that he was looking at a devil.
