Chapter 218: Stop!
The man chuckled. He seemed to appreciate her greed and ruthlessness. He replied, "Okay."
"And..." Cheng Liu lowered her eyes. There was strong malice in her eyes. She said hoarsely, "I want to add one more person." She opened her red lips slightly and said a name.
"A greedy young lady," the man laughed softly. His voice gradually sounded deranged as he said, "The person you mentioned is not easy to deal with, but it doesn’t matter. I like this. Go ahead and do it. After the matter is done, I will give you another 20 million." The man actually easily doubled the amount.
"Deal!" Cheng Liu smiled in satisfaction. She did not seem to be worried that the man would go back on his word, nor was she worried that the man would not give her the money. She lifted the hem of her skirt and stood up. She bowed elegantly and said, "Please prepare the money and wait for my good news." She had been sitting alone in the corner of the wall and crying bitterly just a moment ago. Now it seemed as though she had been reborn into a new person in a short period.
Cheng Liu walked elegantly into the bathroom. She hummed a light and happy tune. She washed her face calmly and touched up her makeup. Then, she smiled sweetly at herself in the mirror. She looked at her face in the mirror and casually thought, ’Since I’m already in hell, then no one else would be able to have a good time. Let’s all go to hell together!’
Thinking of this, Cheng Liu sneered, turned around, and returned to the banquet hall.
There were too many people who came to talk to her, and Shen Hanxing could not help but feel a little tired after dealing with them for a long time. She got up and put on her coat, temporarily hiding outside the banquet hall. At this moment, the sky was gradually getting dark, and the lights in the alley not far away were dim. She crossed her arms and breathed in the cold winter wind. She felt the cold air enter her nose, and her muddled head finally felt clearer.
At this moment, a slender figure flashed at the entrance of the dark alley. Very quickly, that figure passed through the dark alley and walked deeper into the alley. Shen Hanxing was a little puzzled. That figure looked very familiar. But it was so late, what was that person doing in the depths of the alley?
After hesitating for a moment, Shen Hanxing made a prompt decision. She picked up the mop that the cleaning staff had placed at the door and followed. The sound of high heels hitting the ground was fast and urgent. Shen Hanxing stood at the entrance of the alley and only then did she realize that this alley was not a straight road like it appeared to be, but rather, it had a lot of twists and turns in various directions. The dark alley was like a ferocious monster with its huge mouth open, lurking in the endless darkness, quietly waiting for its prey to come to its door.
