Christopher gave Leonel a stern look before saying, “Don’t you dare do anything stupid. You better not touch her and do something the client did not request!”Leonel pursed his lips in resentment. “I was just saying. It’s such a pity.”Unexpectedly, Jo agreed, “Yeah.”Christopher and Leonel looked at Jo in surprise. Jo then prepared the injection and placed the needle on a tray before getting to his feet. He said, “I’ll go give her the shot.”“Jo.” Christopher stopped him. “Don’t be too hard on her or accidentally kill her. It’ll be difficult to answer the client if that happens.”Jo nodded and walked toward Lily’s room.He opened the door and looked at the woman lying on the bed. She had the petite figure of a typical Asian but was full of curves. Her exposed slender arms were as white as snow. It looked like she had not woken up yet.He walked toward the bedside, turned on the side lamp, and stared at Lily. Then he put the tray on the bedside cabinet and sat on the bed. He str
“Do you have the right to ask questions now?” Lily sneered while Jo felt the knife's tip pushing deeper into his flesh.The pain of the blade penetrating through his skin and the fear that he might be dead the next minute made his attitude soften. “D-Don’t do this! L-Let’s talk it out!”“Sure. Let’s talk then. Who ordered you to do this?” Lily, with her head, tilted to one side, asked.When they were in the car earlier, Lily sensed something was off. Lisa would have called Lily beforehand if she genuinely had problems or difficulties on her end. However, Lily could not get through to Lisa’s phone number, and ultimately, Lisa’s phone got turned off. It meant that Lisa faced a severe problem, and she should have sought help from her father. It did not make sense that she looked for Lily.Hence, Lily felt they were here for her, not because Lisa sent them here because she was in trouble. In that case, Lily played along, wanting to find out what they were up to while she searched for t
Leonel bent a little, wanting to lift the blanket, but when his fingers touched the soft fabric, he realized something was wrong.Just as he was about to turn around, he felt numbness in his hips. He could not move at all. He was frightened and made every effort to move but to no avail. His head was immobilized, and all he could do was look around with his eyes.Leonel opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but soon felt numbness on the back of his neck. His mouth was wide open, but he could not even make a sound. ‘Did I become mute?’ This thought made Leonel panic.Lily wanted to control him temporarily so she could ask who the mastermind was. Then she realized he might scream, so she decided it would be better to take control of each person's movements and speech one by one. She could take her time questioning them later.Sure enough, Christopher thought it was strange that Leonel did not come downstairs either. He did not believe Lily posed an immediate threat, but he suspected
After Lily moved the three men together, beads of sweat had already formed on her forehead. After all, they were three muscular men, and it was difficult for a petite lady like her to do such things which required a lot of physical strength.After she was done with the trio, Lily went downstairs to have a look and found this wooden house in the countryside. It was true that, in a place where few people lived, no one would come to their aid, no matter how loudly they screamed.The refrigerator was filled with enough bread and milk to sustain one’s living for a few days. Then, she went to another room to check on Giselle, who was asleep on the bed, completely unaware she was ever in danger. That was great news for Lily. Giselle, in this state, was better than her being awake, panicking, and making things more difficult for Lily. Hence, Lily put a blanket over her, helping her sleep better before returning upstairs.She turned on the main switch, and the house became brightly lit in
When Leonel blurted something out, he realized he could speak again. Stunned for a moment, he said, "I-I can talk! I can talk again!" Leonel was so excited that he forgot his current situation, immersed in the joy of suddenly becoming mute but then unexpectedly returning to normal again, "Bro, bro! Look, I can talk again! I'm not mute anymore. I can talk now! Look!" "Shut up!" Christopher was annoyed and looked at the overjoyed man in front of him. After being reprimanded like this, he closed his mouth subconsciously. The driver came back to his senses to the current situation.He tried to move but found that he was still unable to. There was no rope on his body, but he felt tied up. To be precise, it felt like being paralyzed. There was only numbness. "How come I can’t feel anything?" While Christopher was still unsure of what was happening, he instantly thought of the reported secret body combat tactics from the East as he saw the motions she made. It was
Christopher was silent.He opened his eyes wide, and although his face remained calm and unchanged, it was apparent he was still in shock. He probably did not expect a petite woman like Lily to make such a fierce shot. Not only did she move quickly, but he also could not see her attack."Can you tell me now? Who do you work for?" Lily glanced and said. Christopher recovered from the shock, smiled coldly, then turned his head away from her. He did not intend to cooperate. Lily did not care either and suddenly walked over to him. She bent down, touched his body, and took out a phone. There was a fingerprint lock on it, so she picked up his hand, unlocked it with his fingers, and finally took a tissue from the bedside table and wiped her hands in disgust.When she took out the tissue, she saw a tray put there by Jo. She then remembered seeing such a thing, so she picked it up. She sat down on the chair again with the tray on her lap. She was holding the phone with he
Leonel was so scared that his face turned pale, "P-Please, don’t! I'll make the call!"Seeing his fear, Lily became curious, "What is this? What’s inside the syringe?"Leonel did not respond, so Lily pretended to stab him again. He ducked back and said, "W-Wait! I-It's a drug!"Lily got upset when he said that, and she suddenly stepped on Leonel's body, "You guys are still making this?""Ah!" Leonel yelled and vomited blood. He became annoyed and thought, ‘Why did it have to be me again?!’“No, it’s not ours. Our employer gave that to us. He said you would listen to us if we injected you with that.” He spat out a lot of blood while coughing."Haha! He said I’d listen to you?!" She looked evil, and her whole demeanor resembled a demon out of hell. The look in her eyes signaled that she was ready to kill someone. "Please spare my life. I don't know anything. We're just doing this for the money. Besides, before we even tried to use it on you, we..." Leonel wailed again and aga
“What do you want me to say?" Jo was still wearing his sunglasses. It was a little crooked but still glued to his face.Lily thought it was an eyesore, so she stretched out her hand and took it off for him. After taking it off, she understood why he wore that pair of sunglasses wherever he went. He had only one eye. Only one eye was staring at her, and the other eye was cloudy and completely blind.She removed his sunglasses, and only his good eye shot a glare at her. But since Lily had tied him up, he had no choice but to struggle."Tell your employer I died of an overdose when you gave me the injection. Tell him to come over quickly," Lily knew the mastermind only wanted her to control her and not kill her. Hence, the mastermind would rush over to check out the situation if he heard she had died."Will you let us go after I say that?" Jo’s one eye lit up with a cold and faint light, looking at Lily angrily. Lily laughed twice, "Just kidding! You kidnapped my assistant and me, y
