170: Chapter 170: Passerby? 170: Chapter 170: Passerby? “Madam, I’m sorry, we failed to complete the mission!” Two assassins approached a well-dressed woman in the alley and spoke to her. “You failed? You two were hired by my husband for over twenty thousand dollars...” Zhou Ya folded her arms and looked coldly at the two men in front of her. “I’m sorry, our target’s strength was too overwhelming, we were no match at all. Please tell young master Wang that we will refund his money!” The assassin, who had gotten his balls smashed, saw a flash of anger in his eyes as Zhou Ya spoke. Damn it, if it weren’t for your inaccurate information, how could they have taken the job? But they were both aware that they were injured and that the power behind Zhou Ya was somewhat formidable, so it was better not to provoke her. “Never mind, we don’t need that hundred thousand, you guys can leave!” Zhou Ya waved her hand dismissively and then turned to enter through a door. “Damn it, damn bitch, acting all high and mighty. If it weren’t for fearing retaliation from the Wang family, I would have taken care of you, spit!” After Zhou Ya left, the two men spat viciously and quickly walked away. As the two assassins walked away, Bai Xiaofan and Murong Wan came out from the other side. “Was that your ex-girlfriend just now?” Murong Wan asked softly. “You know too much!” Bai Xiaofan tapped Murong Wan’s forehead and turned back, heading to the entrance of a hotel. “Eh? What are we doing here? Isn’t this our family’s hotel?” Murong Wan looked at the sign next to them, puzzled. “Your Murong family’s? Then do you know about the small door at the back?” “How would I know? I just came back from abroad recently!” “Well then, lunch today is on you. Come on, let’s go have a meal at your Murong family’s hotel!” “Hmph, stingy!” Murong Wan snorted haughtily and followed Bai Xiaofan into the hotel. Murong Wan promptly flashed a membership card, exclusive to members of the Murong family. The receptionist glanced at it and immediately notified the general manager, who, with a smile plastered on his face, led them into a private room. “Here you go, this private room is for our own family’s use when dining. Order whatever you like!” Murong Wan, acting like a wealthy heiress, gestured for the waitress to hand the menu to Bai Xiaofan, then spoke with a haughty air. “I’ve never eaten such fancy dishes before. You pick, I need to use the restroom!” Bai Xiaofan pretended to glance at the menu, handed it to Murong Wan, and then headed for the restroom. Once inside the restroom, Bai Xiaofan used his Divine Sense to scout for any eavesdropping devices, found none, then took out his cell phone to call Night Rose, “Yeah, it’s me. Send someone to investigate. Make sure to hide their identity well, I suspect there’s someone backing him!” Afterwards, still not reassured, Bai Xiaofan called White Tiger to ask for his help in investigating, given that White Tiger was part of the authorities and surely had access to plenty of intelligence. Thud, thud, thud! “Brother-in-law, you’re not jerking off in there, are you? My sister just called, said she was here doing business, heard you were here, and she’s coming over to see you!” Bai Xiaofan was just about to come out when he heard the vigorous knocking and Murong Wan’s irreverent words. “You are a lady, mind your language!” Bai Xiaofan opened the door and tapped Murong Wan’s forehead again. Soon enough, the sound of heels hitting the ground approached, followed by Murong Yue, dressed in professional attire, appearing at the door. “What brought you two to dine here?” Murong Yue had been upstairs doing business. Hearing that Bai Xiaofan was also here, she hurriedly came down. “Missed my Yueyue, huh!” “Stop it, Wan’er is still here!” Murong Yue glanced at Bai Xiaofan’s approaching face and shyly pushed him away, then quickly broke free from Bai Xiaofan’s embrace and sat down in a seat nearby. “I was almost starved to death, talked business all morning, and everyone was not focusing on business, wasting my time!” Murong Yue complained indignantly while eating. “Quit your job, I’ll take care of you. Although we might not have a lot of money, I can guarantee that whatever you want, I can give it to you!” Bai Xiaofan suddenly said, looking at Murong Yue earnestly. Bai Xiaofan was not just speaking; with the improvement of his Divine Sense, there were many ways for him to make money if he wanted to. With his current abilities, he could definitely concoct a couple of medications or refine some elixirs to sell, especially since he already had a certain reputation. Recently, many bosses had been contacting Su Shiqi, wanting to buy medicine from him. Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s sudden statement, Murong Yue was stunned, and so was Murong Wan. Quit your job, I’ll take care of you... Bai Xiaofan’s simple words touched the softest part of Murong Yue’s heart. For many women, Bai Xiaofan’s statement would surpass all other sweet nothings, being more intoxicating than any flattering words could be. In an instant, Murong Yue’s beautiful eyes filled with tears. If... If she had met Bai Xiaofan earlier, if she were not a daughter of the Murong family, if she could decide on her own marriage, then... But all these ifs were just ifs... So, Murong Yue did not know how to respond to Bai Xiaofan’s question and turned her head away to hide the tears in her eyes... “Stop messing around, my sister is the president of the company, you can’t afford to take care of her!” Murong Wan noticed the change in Murong Yue’s expression, tapped her bowl with her chopsticks and said to Bai Xiaofan. “I can afford it, I can concoct potions to sell, I can also sell some elixirs, the elixirs I sell are very expensive, each one can sell for at least hundreds of thousands or even millions!” Bai Xiaofan hurriedly defended himself, as if he could become a millionaire by tomorrow if he wanted to... Murong Wan opened her mouth in surprise; she hadn’t realized Bai Xiaofan was so capable. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s eat,” Murong Yue had somewhat calmed down by now, turned her head back and smiled as she spoke. “I really can, Yueyue, you have to believe me!” Bai Xiaofan said earnestly, his gaze fixed on Murong Yue. “It’s not a matter of belief, but...” Murong Yue shook her head, wanting to explain but not knowing where to start. “Then what is it? Answer me...” Bai Xiaofan’s eyes were red, staring intensely at Murong Yue. “You’re hurting me...” “Let go of my sister, it’s impossible for you two to be together, my sister has already...” Murong Wan stepped forward and pushed Bai Xiaofan away, intending to reveal the harsh truth, but was stopped by Murong Yue. “Wan’er, don’t talk nonsense, go back to school!” Murong Yue sent Murong Wan away, then looked at Bai Xiaofan, who was still staring intensely at her, sighed and said, “Xiaofan, I’m sorry, we’re not suitable for each other, we are just passerby in each other’s lives!” As she spoke, Murong Yue turned and walked away, so resolute, without even turning her head back once.
