Ming Rus.h.i.+ just came from work . She sighed in exhaustion as Masaichi Xiu had a.s.signed several workloads for her again . She frowned upon realizing that that man is away on a business trip .
She flicked on the switch and the lights turned on as she absent-mindedly locked the door and stepped into her condominium unit .
She was about to go directly to her bedroom when she caught something from the corner of her eye .
"Waaaaaahhh!!!" She screamed in fright as her eyes fell on a pair of hazel eyes and dimples on each side of cherry red lips .
The owner of those lips grinned even wider . Then she lit up a cigarette from her pocket .
She was wearing an all black ensemble, befitting a motorcycle rider, so she was not obvious in the dark, but under the bright living room lamp, her features were clearly seen .
Her hair was cut short and dyed black . She looked like a handsome young man with multiple ear piercings and a lip stud . If not for her painted lips, it was doubtful if she was a woman .
Though her getup seemed rough, her straight, white teeth showing from the sinister smile, revealed that she is someone who takes care of her appearance .
"Whwhat are you doing here?!" Ming Rus.h.i.+'s lips were trembling while her eyes blinked to fight back the tears . She was frightened as sh**!
The woman smirked and puffed out some smoke which filled the living room . Making her look more dangerous .
Ming Rus.h.i.+ is used to cigarette smoke since the man who lives with her usually smokes . Her frown was due to the presence of the woman .
"How did you get in?" Her words were heavy and demanding .
"Next time you inspect the production line, you should keep your bag in your person . " There was a hint of teasing in the mellow voice .
Ming Rus.h.i.+ gritted her teeth in anger . "You should not show yourself in City S and you know the consequences if you do . " The threat was heavy .
"Oh, really? I heard that the viper is dead . "
"You think we would be affected by his death?" Ming Rus.h.i.+ would never back down that easily .
"Of course, after all, he was killed by that man . " The smile through the red lips became gentle .
"My mother was only caught unawares . The viper failed to sense danger, costing his life . It was nothing . " Ming Rus.h.i.+ sat calmly on the sofa, her hand secretly searching for a blade in between the upholstery .
The woman in black smirked again, then with a swift movement of her hand, she produced a thin blade with horse bone handle . "Looking for this?"
Ming Rus.h.i.+'s eyes shook . Words could not come out of her gaping mouth .
"Oh c'mon . . . you should've known that I had already searched this house . All your toys have been confiscated . " She flashed a wide grin, bordered by red .
"Tsk . What do you want?" Ming Rus.h.i.+ sat, facing her, with arms crossed over her chest .
"Hey . . . I have been in hiding for years now . I wanna come out!" The woman made a pout with her red lips .
"We had an agreement!" Ming Rus.h.i.+ slammed her hands on the wooden coffee table .
"No, we didn't . You threatened me . " There was a dangerous glint in her eyes .
"You think you could get what you want from threatening us?!"
"Why should I be afraid? Even if you kill me now, everyone believes I'm dead . " She chuckled, then continued with a sinister laugh .
"Tell me what you want . " Ming Rus.h.i.+'s face was livid, her knuckles hard from clenching .
"I want to see my son . "
"He's not here! That man managed to hide him under the wings of that organization . Anyone who dared to come near him never saw the light of day again . "
"Then give me enough money so I could see him in secret . "
"So that you would appear to him as a ghost?"
She harrumphed . "He never believed that I died . "
