Chapter 39 - Make a choice..

She ran to the scene, standing right before her father stretching her hands out wide to stop him.

"No, Father. Please stop!" She begged. Jihai hadn't even received treatment, how was he going to withstand another beating?

She felt her heart leap when she saw her father pass through her and walked forward.

"Its all your fault! My daughter is in a critical state due to your carelessness! If my daughter dies today, I, Tang Huizhong will make you accompany her to the afterlife!" Huizhong raged as he landed a kick to Jihai's abdomen, making him spit out a generous amount of blood on the white tiled floor.

She turned to her mother who was blocked by some guards. "Mother, please help him!"

Realizing that no one could hear her, she rushed to Jihai who laid unmoving. She tried shaking him. "Jihai! Jihai!"

Tamara rolled her eyes at the foolish woman before her. She clicked her tongue. "Alright, time to go. We have other places to be." She snapped her fingers.

Chunlan cried as she turned to face the goddess angrily. "Why did you take me away? Didn't you see Jihai was dying? Why didn't save him? You are useless!"

Tamara's eyes narrowed. "Watch your tongue, mortal."

Chunlan didn't care anymore as she dropped on the floor. She glared at the goddess, her eyes full of tears but with determination.

Forget it! Heaven or Hell, I am not going anywhere! I will stay as a ghost and accompany Jihai!

Tamara sighed as she chided herself. How could she bicker with a mere mortal? "Stupid girl, you are not dead. You are merely in a critical state. Let's go and see who is responsible for all of this."

Chunlan raised her head. "Who is it?"

"Just follow me."

Wen Honglin sat down, his face stoic as he seemed angry with the person on the phone. Luckily, now she seemed to have acquired some sort of supersonic hearing making everything easy to hear.

"This was not part of the plan. Why is she in critical condition?!" Honglin growled.

"Sir, we planned everything to the last detail and prepared contingency plans. But we didn't expect that she would risk her life to protect him." The subordinate said glumly.

"Where is he?"

"In the lobby, being beaten by Mr Tang."

"We have to kill him now. We can't let him go to Colossus. We will wait until she is out of danger before the ȧssassination commences." His eyes flashed with deadly intent.

Chunlan clenched her fists. "So it was him. Again. It seemed like I shouldn't have been lenient with him."

Tamara looked at the man with complicated feelings.

"You should decide what you want to do. You must get him out of this country at all costs. Don't screw this up."

"What do I do?" Chunlan asked with pain.

"Make a choice. Make a deal with the devil." Tamara said.

"A deal?"

Tamara didn't bother to explain, walking out of the room. Chunlan followed her, intending to ask more questions.

"Have you found the person who is reincarnated like me?"

"Not yet." Tamara said.

"What about Mengqi? Do you know when she would wake up?"

"Soon."

Tang Chunlan: "....."

Wasn't this pretty goddess a little useless? She didn't know anything, couldn't even do anything!

Tamara suddenly stopped. "We are here."

Chunlan looked around. "What are we doing here?"

"Its time for you to return."
