…
… That’s too horrifying!
Xiang Wan looked at that post without blinking. Gradually, she started to lose focus, her pupils enlarged, and her vision blurred that she was unable to see the words before her clearly… On her forehead, fine beads of perspiration started to appear, and she was unable to say a word. The whole of her felt as though she was soaked in ice water.
This was all because…
This Meng Chi… was the real devil.
“You’re famous!” Meng Chi added, “Just like what you wrote in your novel… shoot to fame.”
“…”
Xiang Wan slowly looked toward him, not batting an eyelid.
“Did we have a feud or something?”
Meng Chi remained silent.
A second later, he laughed. “No.”
“Then why?”
“For the sake of my belief! For the people and righteous cause!”
D*mn you! She cussed inside her head.
Xiang Wan had a feeling as though she was about to go crazy!
She gasped and calmed down. “Why are you so sure that the netizens think I deserve death?”
“They will!” Meng Chi was relaxed and calm; there was a smiling tone in his voice. “What netizens want is just entertainment. It’s none of their business whether you die or not. Generally, in social events, most people only do two things, either add icing on the cake, or add insult to injury! For your case, it’s not suitable to add to the icing on the cake, so… The foolish people will only follow blindly and add insult to injury!”
Xiang Wan felt as if her heart had gone cold.
She disliked Meng Chi, but she had to admit that what Meng Chi said made a lot of sense.
The truth was cruel.
“And your hero Bai Muchuan… This is such an interesting matter, how can he not be around. I’ll tear off his mask… personally!”
As Meng Chi said so, his eyes were shining from excitement.
“He wants to be a hero, right? No! He’s already a legendary hero! Unfortunately, the popular heroes that people prefer should be distanced from them and are only suitable for living in legends. Heroes made of flesh and blood will only be spurned upon! Especially so for a hero with feelings and desires!”
Xiang Wan tried hard to control her emotions.
“Every bad person has a reason for turning out like this in the world… I really want to know how did your soul under your mask got twisted into what it is today?”
Meng Chi gave it a thought and answered very carefully, “I’m not a bad person!”
Xiang Wan: “When you kill people, you are already one.”
Meng Chi shrugged his shoulders. “The silly and self-opinionated Miss Xiang, don’t try to convince someone you can’t convince. If you have the time, think of how you’re going to welcome your lover later, and how to spend a good time with him before the two of you die?”
“…”
This is crazy!
He’s downright crazy!
Xiang Wan was roaring inside her head!
She was so overwhelmed with anger that she wanted to perish together with this fellow…
But she couldn’t! She was unable to do so.
This fellow was not stupid. There were two of his men standing guard at the door, about more than a meter away from them, sabers in their hands.
Xiang Wan looked at Meng Chi. “You’re no match for Bai Muchuan. He will get me out of here…”
She had said this deliberately to provoke him.
In her opinion, by doing so, she could get more chances to survive.
From Xiang Wan’s observation, this man was very strong in debating—he thought of everyone as scums. Even if he would be killing her, she was certain that he would wait for Bai Muchuan to arrive before killing her…
Xiang Wan believed that Bai Muchuan would come to save her.
Before that, she just needed to make sure she was alive.
And if possible, she would try to find out more about Meng Chi.
“Besides, he won’t be pushed around by you. The trap that you’ve set up will have no effect on him…”
Meng Chi laughed. “I knew very well what kind of person your lover is… He’s a hero! The hero is always upright. His girlfriend got abducted, he will not give up searching for you and would jump in any trap that I’ve set up for him. He has to jump right in…”
Xiang Wan looked at him indignantly.
“Well, I’ve already told him my first request.” Meng Chi smirked. “I want him to come here alone…”
Alone? Xiang Wan quivered.
Meng Chi sneered, “You know it, this game would not be fun anymore if there are more people!”
Xiang Wan stayed still. “I understand now.”
Meng Chi: “What do you understand?”
Xiang Wan: “Good and evil are not the most important thing for you at all. What matters is actually your judgment as well as your likes and dislikes.”
Meng Chi seemed a little taken aback. “What are you trying to say?” He gave a faint smile.
“I wanted to say,” Xiang Wan sneered, “I despise you. With a lie, you packaged yourself as justice! Such hypocrisy is the greatest evil! The one who deserves death most, is you… Meng Chi!”
“… Hahahaha! I deserve death? Maybe! All of us deserve death!”
Meng Chi flicked his Taoist robe and went out.
“Tie her up and throw her in there!”
…
“The fish has taken the bait!”
When Xiang Wan heard Meng Chi’s voice again, she tried to open her eyes.
At this moment, she was locked up in an empty, dark room.
When she was brought to this room, they had covered her head with a hood. Basing on the number of steps she took, she was quite certain that she was still inside the nunnery.
Earlier on, it was all quiet.
Now that she suddenly heard Meng Chi’s voice, she trembled out of reflex.
There was no one else in this room except herself.
It was pitch dark. She searched for the source of the voice and noticed a glimmer of light above her…
It was either a microphone or a camera.
What a pervert!
Xiang Wan tried to look and felt her way around.
There was nothing inside the room. If the room was made of steel… besides feeling stuffy and constrained, there was no way she could escape.
So, the fish that Meng Chi mentioned, what did he mean?
Could it be… Bai Muchuan?
Xiang Wan’s heart sank.
She felt a slight twitching pain.
Bai Muchuan would come.
She hoped that he would come, but she was also afraid that he would come…
She was afraid that he would really be like what Meng Chi had said—that he would come here alone.
With herself as the bargaining chip, Bai Muchuan would be manipulated by Meng Chi.
When that happened…
What would happen the moment he fell into his hands?
She was lucky that they didn’t torture her, but what about Bai Muchuan?
When she thought of this, Xiang Wan felt it was hard to open her eyes to look at that little glimmer of light.
She was too nervous!
Her heart was beating too fast!
She sat on the floor, her eyes closed, and her fingers stroked her injured thigh, counting her heartbeat…
…
“Thud!”
A heavy crashing sound made Xiang Wan came out of her thoughts.
When she opened her eyes, she saw that the door to the room had opened.
And light came in as well!
As she was unable to get used to the sudden light, she had to squint her eyes.
She saw a man being pushed into the room by two big, burly men where he knocked against the metallic wall.
The tall stature, broad shoulders, and his head covered with a hood… He was standing in this space overflowing with a sense of sophisticated technology. Once again, she had an illusion as though she traversed through time and space.
“Bai Muchuan!”
Xiang Wan heard her voice.
It was hoarse and trembling. There was even pain in it.
The man turned around, but as his hands were tied at his back, he was unable to remove the hood.
“Little Xiang Wan?” He just responded calmly.
There was nothing more tearful than this form of address.
In an instant, Xiang Wan was about to burst into tears.
She rushed toward him, yanked the hood off his head, and met his eyes.
“Aren’t you silly? Why are you so obedient?”
Bai Muchuan smiled. “It’s because you’re here!”
Full marks for the answer!
He was as relaxed as ever.
Xiang Wan wanted to cry and laugh at the same time.
This was because every time when she met him… he would laugh it off no matter how difficult the situation was!
Didn’t he know that by coming here just like that, he could lose his life as well?
“My silly girl!” Bai Muchuan puffed a sigh and turned to face her. “Untie me first!”
“You need to sit down first…” Xiang Wan’s wound still hurt a lot; she could not stand for too long.
She made Bai Muchuan sat on the ground.
Then she sat behind him and began to untie him…
As she untied him, she looked around the room.
Then, she lowered her volume and talked to Bai Muchuan, “Do you think they can hear us if we talk softly like this?”
Bai Muchuan gave her a sidelong glance, a smile hanging on his lips. “It’s safer if you whisper in my ear!”
Xiang Wan looked at him in doubt, but she sat a little closer to him and leaned her head over, almost resting on his shoulder. “You really didn’t bring anyone?”
Bai Muchuan: “Nope.”
Xiang Wan: “…”
How could he be so silly!
How could he comply with that request fully without bringing anyone along?
“If I do so, he will kill you.”
“… If he wanted to kill me, he would have done so long ago!”
“Yup!” Bai Muchuan laughed. “But I don’t dare to take that gamble! There’s only one Xiang Wan! I can’t afford to lose!”
Xiang Wan: “…”
She felt the sour, tingling sensation in her nose and did not know what to say.
Bai Muchuan rubbed her head, behaving as intimately as ever. “He also told me that he has filled the entire nunnery with explosives. If I dared to bring anyone over, all of them will die together with us…”
He’s so ruthless!
Xiang Wan quivered at his words. “Is it true?”
Bai Muchuan: “I don’t know! But when I came here and observed these people… the possibility is very high!”
These people?
Xiang Wan paused for a second. “Did you see him?”
Bai Muchuan: “Who?”
Xiang Wan whispered in his ear, “The person we’ve been looking for… ‘The Temptation of the Rich and Famous’… the one behind the scenes!”
Bai Muchuan did not seem to have thought of that. “You’ve seen that person?” He was slightly stunned.
Xiang Wan nodded gently. In her narrowed eyes, there was a trace of hesitation. “It’s Meng Chi! But I feel strange… if it’s him, what about his desperate efforts to save Xie Wanwan when she got kidnapped?
“Of course, we can treat him as a separate group of people from the Dark Clan… they should not be the ones who kidnapped Xie Wanwan…”
Bai Muchuan interrupted her and said in a low voice, “Xie Wanwan was not kidnapped by the Dark Clan! Not only that, there’s a high possibility that the Dark Clan was being made the scapegoat in the 121 case.”
He had already confirmed this from Huang He.
Xiang Wan was surprised. “This is strange! Which side is this Meng Chi on?”
“Maybe he’s with neither?”
Maybe it was what he had told her; he just purely wanted to take out Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan?
That could be a possibility, too.
When she tried to string the sequence of incidents, there were things that were unexplainable.
Xiang Wan pondered for a moment. “Don’t you think it’s strange for Meng Chi to do this himself?”
