Chapter 485: Don’t poke your nose where it doesn’t belong
What was he doing here? Lanni knew from a glance that he must be here for business. Though she wondered, what would the Xia family have to do with weapon smugglers? She had thought that they only dealt harmful and illegal medicines. As expected, that family was much darker than it appeared.
There were many more dark secrets than one would ever expect, even though she had already anticipated it.
In the video. Xia Yuguang sat down opposite the man whose fake name was James, and exchanged a few words over drinks.
"Do you have the goods?" James asked as he lit a cigar, and Lanni turned on the recording function. It was here!
"Yes." Xia Yuguang glanced around.
"The room is safe." James let out a hollow laugh.
Taking it as a cue, Xia Yuguang took out a small bottle from his pockets and placed it on the table, making Lanni’s eyes narrow. That had to be a drug. The Xia family was trading with James too?
Xia Yuguang did not stay for long, he decided to leave soon after handing over the bottle and receiving a few gold bars in exchange. Lanni had recorded the main part, but she suddenly noticed that James was taking off his jacket.
She cursed and the man suddenly looked at a spot on his jacket, his face enlarging on the screen of her laptop and eyes appearing to be looking straight into hers. "Naughty little Minx."
Lanni trembled and almost thought he could see her, before she remembered that the bug was one way. She held her breath as the man continued, "Don’t poke your nose where it does not belong. I’m only warning you because you’re pretty. Otherwise, you would be six feet underground."
She trembled from the compliment which made it sound like the end of her life was drawing close. Taking a deep breath, she saved the video she had recorded and sent it to Lin Jian before deleting her own copy. As for poking her nose where it did not belong, she was not about to give up now when she was about to uncover the truth. She would only tread more carefully.
