Chapter 49: Go save her
Pei Zhen was certainly an outsider to the Underground City, so might the person who replaced his destiny also be an outsider?
An insignificant question. It had no relevance to the current situation.
Xu Si wondered why she had even asked, then found it amusing upon reflection. Perhaps there was a glimmer of hope left in the depths of her heart. The established fact was there; in her subconscious, she just hoped the well-behaved boy hadn’t died.
Faced with such a question, the other party did pause for a moment.
Chen Mo glanced at the ubiquitous surveillance cameras and said guardedly, "Although I’m not sure what this question implies, I can secretly tell you that our leader is not an outsider."
"I see. I was just asking casually. Don’t take it to heart, Mr. Chen." Xu Si lowered her eyelids and set her glass on a waiter’s tray. "Someone is calling me; I must excuse myself."
She picked up her handbag, her gaze swept over the sea, revealing her disappointment as she departed with a graceful stride.
Watching her walk away, Chen Mo smiled. His previously polite demeanor vanished, replaced by sharp, chiseled features and a sinister, ferocious glint in his eyes—a hallmark of Underground City members.
TSK. Of all the questions to ask, she had to choose the hardest one to answer. He had certainly lied. But what choice did he have?
The Triad Society’s most taboo subject was their boss’s status as an outsider. In the past, in Gambling City, anyone who had mentioned he was an outsider had met a terrible fate.
