Chapter 42, A Tempting Allure
"Save me?" Xu Wendong laughed. "Did you escape from a psychiatric ward?"
Though the woman before him was enchanting and alluring, he couldn’t help but suspect she had indeed escaped from a mental ward. Otherwise, how could she tell a doctor, "I’m not here for treatment, but to save you"?
Just as Xu Wendong picked up the phone, intending to call the psych ward to have someone take the woman back, her voice slowly echoed. "You’re Xu Wendong from Xu Family Village in Chenghou Town. Years ago, you depended on your grandfather. After he passed away due to illness, you had nowhere to go and came to the city to rely on your cousin Xu Wenjian. You now live in Happiness Community Building 3, Unit 1, Room 301."
Xu Wendong’s eyes were full of vigilance. "Who are you? How do you know all about me?"
"I’m Wu Mei, from Black Dragon Hall." The woman introduced herself and then took out a lady’s cigarette and a lighter from the deep cleavage in front of her.
Xu Wendong’s face was cold. "Smoking is prohibited here."
Wu Mei placed the cigarette in her mouth, her eyes playful. "You don’t seem afraid of me."
Xu Wendong retorted, "Why should I be afraid of you?"
Wu Mei calmly asked, "You injured sixty-eight disciples of Black Dragon Hall, causing us significant reputational damage. Aren’t you afraid?"
"Are you threatening me?" Xu Wendong felt a surge of anger rise in him.
Wu Mei shrugged her scented shoulders, speaking lightly, "It’s merely a friendly reminder. After all, no one can disregard the authority of Black Dragon Hall."
