Lu Lingxiao lowered his head and kissed her cheek, smiling, "My wife is a lucky star, a koi fish. This is what Elder Yun told me personally. Elder Yun also repeatedly told me that I must treat you well and never let you down."
"You really are..."
Feng Zhiyi couldn't help but give him a coquettish look.
Old Master Yun was just saying it casually, but I didn't expect him to actually take it seriously.
"Let's go shopping and spend some money at the mall to buy happiness!"
After saying that, she sat up from Lu Lingxiao's arms, stood up, and put the house deed, along with the dozens of sets of jewelry and one million US dollars, into her lotus space.
It must be said that the reward Alice prepared was far more generous than anyone could have imagined.
More than twenty sets of top-tier jewelry and a check for one million dollars.
Finally, there's a castle.
However, considering Alice's identity, it seems reasonable that she would prepare such a generous reward.
After all, only by living can one inherit the Greenster family's business. If one loses their life, then the vast Greenster family will belong to someone else.
After putting the things away, I drew a new, unfamiliar face.
The couple then left the hotel in high spirits and drove their silver Rolls-Royce to go shopping!
Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao had originally planned to go out, but they saw Alice and Lady Elsa as soon as they got to the first floor. So they quickly took the elevator back to the presidential suite to change their makeup back.
Just as Alice and her mother came up, having just disguised themselves as they had the night before.
This delay—
I only have time to go out now.
The two drove their Rolls-Royce straight to the largest shopping mall in the Loop district, carrying their money, ready to go on a shopping spree...
Meanwhile, on Alice's side...
After leaving the Lihuang Hotel, the mother and daughter got into their car and returned to Lihuang International Hospital.
On the way back to the hospital, Mrs. Elsa saw that her daughter's face was full of smiles and she was in a good mood. She couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Alice, you seem to really like that YOYO?"
Alice tilted her head, her eyes smiling. "Mother, don't you think YOYO is adorable? Like an angel, an angel that can heal the soul."
The image of the girl from last night—calm, fierce, and with sharp, deep eyes—flashed before her eyes, and her smile grew even brighter.
Mrs. Elsa looked at her daughter without saying a word, but her gaze was exceptionally tender.
She hadn't seen Alice's genuine smile in a long time.
Although Alice is a young lady of the Greenster family and the little princess of the Y country's royal family, her situation does not allow her to do as she pleases, nor can she laugh or make a fuss like other ordinary girls.
Because Alice's life is full of danger.
——
It's 10 p.m.
Western-style houses in the northern suburbs.
Huo Mingzhe and his men arrived at the villa on time.
He slowly got out of the car, looked at Nick waiting outside, and a slight, fake smile appeared on his lips. "Same as always, cash on delivery."
Nick frowned and turned to his trusted aide, "Second brother, give the money to Young Master Huo."
"Young Master Huo, please take a look!"
Huo Mingzhe's sharp gaze swept over.
He checked several stacks of cash from each box, then pointed to the truck behind him. "The goods are in the truck. Arrange for someone to unload them. Hurry up, the transaction is over, I need to get back to the island."
A cold smile flashed quickly across his slightly lowered eyes.
This batch of goods appears to be intended for Nick, but in reality, it's a case of double-crossing!
Upon hearing this, Nick narrowed his eyes and looked at him, a sudden jolt running through him. His years of experience on the run told him that something was wrong with Huo Mingzhe.
He gave his confidant a wink, signaling him to remind his brothers to be careful.
Tonight's trading...
It probably won't go smoothly.
After receiving the signal from his boss, the confidant nodded slightly, turned around to open the carriage, and ordered his men to start unloading the cargo.
Soon, the entire truckload of goods was unloaded.
As per the old rules.
After the deal was completed, Huo Mingzhe and his men left Chicago and returned to the island.
But tonight, Huo Mingzhe clearly came prepared.
However, Nick, being a mercenary who had served in the military for several years, was not so easily fooled. He had already sensed something was amiss and ordered his men to prepare their weapons, ready to engage at any moment.
really--
The next second, Huo Mingzhe suddenly raised his hand and waved behind him, and the people who followed immediately surrounded Nick and the others.
"Young Master Huo, what do you mean?"
Nick's eyes were incredibly sinister as he raised his gun and pointed it at Huo Mingzhe. Huo Mingzhe was indeed planning to double-cross him. Nick should have realized it sooner; Huo Mingzhe's attitude had been subtly off during the last transaction.
Unexpectedly...
He actually wanted to kill them!
"Of course, I'll send you to... the road to the underworld!"
After saying this, Huo Mingzhe raised his hand and waved.
War is imminent.
However--
Huo Mingzhe forgot the saying, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!"
He thought that as long as he dealt with Nick's mercenaries tonight, he could easily take over Nick's money.
Little did they know——
The real oriole is secretly eating and watching the show from the shadows!
It wasn't until both sides suffered heavy casualties, including Huo Mingzhe and Nick, that Feng Zhiyi and Lu Lingxiao slowly appeared.
At this time.
Nick and Huo Mingzhe both pointed their guns at each other's temples.
Nick stared at Huo Mingzhe with a sinister gaze. He had a fierce appearance and was full of murderous aura. "Young Master Huo, do you think your marksmanship is faster, or mine?"
Upon hearing this, Huo Mingzhe's heart tightened.
Compared to the tall and strong Nick, he was like a child who had not yet reached adulthood. Nick was particularly fierce-looking, with a body full of muscles, and he was also a fugitive who had been discharged from the army and wanted by the authorities because he had the blood of his comrades on his hands.
If they both fire at the same time.
Huo Mingzhe couldn't even imagine how horribly he would die...
“I’m sorry, Nick, this wasn’t my intention tonight. It was Mr. Ronnie’s order. Mr. Ronnie said that if you are eliminated, your property and your territory in Chicago will be his.”
He slowly lowered his gun, seemingly accepting reality and surrendering, while explaining to Nick that he blamed Mr. Ronnie for the whole thing.
Anyway, Mr. Ronnie isn't in Chicago, so he won't hear these things.
Do you think I'll still believe you?
Nick scoffed.
He quickly cocked the gun and, before Huo Mingzhe could react, swiftly pulled the trigger.
The next second—
"Bang--"
Someone fell to the ground.
But it wasn't Huo Mingzhe who died.
Huo Mingzhe, “…”
Looking at Nick lying on the ground, his eyes wide with shock and his body still open, everyone was stunned.
