Chapter 1726

“Take this money, and you can live happily ever after.”

Mu Xiaojiu attempted to persuade Lu Xuening to give up her revenge, though knowing it was unlikely.

But if he could lower her guard, he might seize the chance to snatch the gun from her hand.

However, if Lu Xuening were that easily swayed, she wouldn’t have survived to this day.

“Mu Xiaojiu, do you really think I’m that easy to fool?”

She chuckled coldly, aiming the gun at the person lying on the ground.

“If I let Baili Xia go, will I live one more minute?”

Lu Xuening clearly knew Mu Xiaojiu well, having been deceived once, she wouldn’t fall for it again.

She glanced down at Baili Xia lying on the ground, her alluring eyes landing on Mu Xiaojiu.

“If Mr. Xiaojiu is so idle, why don’t you guess what I did to her?”

Mu Xiaojiu simply stared at her coldly, with no fluctuations in his eyes.

He was tense inside, genuinely wanting to know how that girl was doing, his hands clenched so tightly they were almost bleeding.

But he couldn’t show any hint of panic; if Lu Xuening caught it, he would be at an even greater disadvantage.

“Mu Xiaojiu, I know you care about her, so I did something to her.”

Lu Xuening was a woman, and women are always more sensitive to emotions than men.

Though Mu Xiaojiu appeared composed, she could see his unease through his clenched fists.

The more he cared for Baili Xia, the harder it was for him to remain calm and think.

The dignified Mr.

Xiaojiu, who could terrify everyone in town, yet was easily swayed by a little girl!

Lu Xuening didn’t know whether to feel sorry for him or herself.

Such a lowly woman as Baili Xia could earn the favor of the illustrious Mr.

Xiaojiu.

Even Mr.

Xiaojiu was willing to sacrifice his life for her.

And her?

She’s great at everything and superior to Baili Xia in every way, yet why couldn’t she obtain the same?

Dongfang Jin, Mu Xiaojiu, and in the end, even Guisu betrayed her!

Why!

“I want to make you forever regret treating me this way, I want you to suffer for a lifetime!”

She glared at Mu Xiaojiu, gritting her teeth and said.

Mu Xiaojiu showed no expression, coldly asked: “What did you do to her?”

“You will soon find out.” Lu Xuening paused, then continued: “Throw the money over hard.”

“You tell me first, what did you do to her?”

“Do you think you have the leverage to bargain with me?” Lu Xuening raised her hand holding the gun, threateningly.

A dangerous glint flash across Mu Xiaojiu’s eyes.

He looked at Lu Xuening coldly, raising his hand to forcefully throw the cash case over to her.

The case landed right by Lu Xuening’s feet, and she cautiously bent down to check, never forgetting to aim the gun at Baili Xia.

Aiming at Mu Xiaojiu was pointless; he’s not afraid of death, but he’s afraid his woman would die.

So, she preferred to threaten Baili Xia’s life rather than Mu Xiaojiu’s.

Once confirmed there were no issues, Lu Xuening picked up the cash case.

“You’ve got the money, you can leave now.”

Mu Xiaojiu had long noticed the speedboat prepared in the river alongside.

Lu Xuening was ready to grab the money and make a quick escape.

From here, taking the speedboat to the sea, she could disappear without a trace very quickly.

Lu Xuening retreated a few steps, the gun still pointed at Baili Xia.

Suddenly, she stopped, a cunning smile hanging on her face.

“I’ve changed my mind; Mu Xiaojiu, I suddenly… want to play a game with you.”
