Chapter 171
That morning, Wang Jiazhi was writing in her study when a little maid came in and said, "Madam, there's a lady downstairs looking for you."
"Um?"
An ominous premonition loomed.
She went downstairs and found that the ghost had found her home. It was Lai Xiujin.
Because of some unrest, Old Wu hadn't been replaced yet. Of course, this unrest was also his own fault. While he was still around, he had to hurry and get things done.
This matter had been prepared for almost a month in advance, and Old Wu's hint coincided with Kuang Yumin's.
Just shoot then, she will be killed by mistake no matter what.
Kuang Yumin and the others thought she was unlucky and wanted her dead. Old Wu, in particular, casually recounted how, when they were young, five of them were on a mission together, and three of them died. The original five-part reward could only be split into two.
Kuang Yumin said that if one person was missing, she would get less money in the future. Since she had no relatives, she wasn't worried about anyone causing trouble.
In fact, this is only one of the reasons. Besides the fact that they hate her, there is another point. She and they were not on good terms to begin with, and they forced her to join. If she were to live, it would be a headache to decide what to do with her after the mission was accomplished. It would be easier to kill her.
Only Ouyang hesitated and said, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
Lai Xiujin immediately said disdainfully: "You are still thinking about her. She has been slept with by someone else. You might as well go to a whore instead of thinking about her."
Kuang Yumin and the others all glared at him, and he quickly lowered his head and said nothing.
After the discussion, he gave them the information.
Those in this line of work are most afraid of having too many people know their appearance. Especially for someone in Lao Yi's position, even fewer people have photos of him.
Old Wu was afraid they might mistake him for someone else, so he gave them two photos of Old Yi. One was taken when he was there, and the other was taken when he was younger. He really didn't have many more.
When Lai Xiujing saw the photo, the last string in his heart broke.
This person... this person...!
She recognized it. She was so close to her that day. She recognized it.
Just like the person who sent her the flowers, she was not in pain at all, she just did it her own way.
She kept deceiving herself that Wang Jiazhi was living in hell.
Even though she was living in anonymity, in fear, unable to wear pretty clothes or dress up, unable to contact her family, and even though she finally had someone she truly loved and who truly loved her, they were forced to separate, she felt that she was still much better off than Wang Jiazhi. At least she didn't have to be defiled and tortured by the old, ugly demon.
What does it matter if Wang Jiazhi lives a life of luxury? It would be better for her to die if she has to face that kind of person every day.
But now it's different, she understands everything.
No wonder she looked more and more beautiful and more plump. She was actually enjoying it. The man was not what they had lied to her about. He looked nothing like the boy she liked.
One's own misfortune is painful, but the happiness of one's companions is what makes one despair and angry even more.
In the next few days, Lai Xiujing's last string was completely broken. She became a mad beast and could do nothing.
Even if Wang Jiazhi died, what would it matter? She had already enjoyed the life of a wealthy lady and had a sweet time with the man she loved. Death wouldn't be a loss. As for her, what would happen if she lived? She would forever be a rat in the sewer, never seeing the light of day. Even if this thing succeeded, what would it matter? A few hundred extra dollars would change nothing.
She thought about how she'd painstakingly waited in the cinema every night looking for her, hoping to find her and push her into the abyss. She'd wanted her to be doomed, even if it meant she wasn't good enough. But now, it seemed like instead of pushing her into hell, she'd actually fulfilled her wish. This was the thing she couldn't accept the most.
That’s right, so what if he is rich? If he buys clothes and jewelry he likes, he can only wear them secretly at night and no one can see him.
Back then, she loved the shoes and fabrics in the window so much, but Wang Jiazhi had to buy them all and wear them ostentatiously. Why, why, why should she be happier than herself?
Lai Xiujing had been suffering for several days and felt like she was living a life worse than death. She was unwilling to continue to be under their control and live this inhuman life.
This madness also required her to become bold. On the third day of the New Year, she went out like a ghost before dawn. She wandered on the street in the cold weather for several hours. Seeing that the car had driven away, she bravely came to this house.
Lai Xiujin looked scarier than a ghost. Wang Jiazhi took a deep breath and gathered herself. She was to be searched before entering, and she didn't seem to have any weapons on her.
She asked Lai Xiujin to come to the study. Lai Xiujin looked around the house as she walked, and saw that she was wearing a water-green silk dress and a terrifyingly large diamond ring on her hand. She really wanted to kill this bitch.
Wang Jiazhi closed the door and asked coldly, "Are you looking for death? What are you doing here?"
"What am I doing? I want to see your good days."
Wang Jiazhi didn't answer either. She stood in front of the desk drawer, which contained a gun, so she wasn't afraid of anything happening to her.
"I want to leave, you have to give me money. If you don't give me money, I will tell the one on the bed about you, and see how you can continue to live your good life now."
Wang Jiazhi tried to calm down and said, "How much do you want?"
Lai Xiujing then remembered that she had not even calculated how much money she would need to escape.
"Twenty thousand."
She blurted out that as long as she could get away from here, she didn't believe she couldn't survive.
Wang Jiazhi laughed and said, "Why don't you just go and rob? Where can I find so much money?"
"I don't care. Stop pretending to be poor. You don't have even this little bit. If you don't have it, go ask him for it. Otherwise, you will die."
Wang Jiazhi said, "Then come back in three days. I can't take out that much right now."
Lai Xiujing opened her mouth slightly. She didn't expect Wang Jiazhi to agree like this, and she didn't know what to do.
Wang Jiazhi said, "Let's go now. Everyone here is his spy except me."
She turned around and left, walked down the stairs and out the door quickly, and then ran as fast as she could. It was only then that she realized that this was the home of the big devil, and she really didn't want to die.
He came home early today, and she was uneasy, but she tried to appear calm. He didn't seem to be unusual, but her mother and the others must have told him that someone was coming to their house.
She told her mother that she came here to have a seizure, and that she met him on the street during her visit to Shanghai. They had nothing to do with each other, she just came to borrow money.
"Let me cook for you."
He pulled her back into his arms and said, "Stop doing it. Stay with me for a while."
The next day she passed the news to Kuang Yumin, but Lai Xiujing did not come on the third day.
When they met, Kuang Yumin said that he had sent Lai Xiujing to "school".
She didn't know what "going to school" meant exactly, but judging from Kuang Yumin's fierce look, it shouldn't be easy.
Wang Jiazhi took a deep breath.
She realized that if she couldn't escape, falling into their hands might be even worse than falling into his hands, and she would really have to take medicine to end her life. Old Yi still gave her some face and didn't torture her. Before she died, those people didn't hit her with guns. It was all over in a flash.
This time, Wang Jiazhi's expression was not as cold and disdainful as before, but rather gentle, which surprised Kuang Yumin very much.
She smiled and put a red camellia into his pocket, saying, "The camellia is still in bloom at this time."
