144 Hiding

Ming Rushi just came from work. She sighed in exhaustion as Masaichi Xiu had assigned 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.

"Wha-what are you doing here?!" Ming Rushi'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 Rushi 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 Rushi 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 Rushi 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 Rushi 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 Rushi'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 Rushi 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 Rushi 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 Rushi'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."
