Chapter 303 - Get Annoyed

“That's more like it!”

Upon hearing Xiangyang's response, Xiao Yi spoke softly. However, internally, he was bitterly plotting something else.

Mu Sifa, oh, Mu Sifa! Five years ago, I failed to eliminate you.

I acknowledge my past naivety and impatience. However, things are different now. You may be prepared, but I wonder if you're aware of these next four words.

“How should I collaborate with you?” You wouldn’t consider exploiting me for disreputable purposes, would you?

As Xiao Yi was lost in his daydreams, Xiang Yang posed a question that weighed on his mind.

He appeared out of nowhere and offered help without disclosing his identity. Surely, he must have some ulterior motive, right?

“How could that be? My intention was merely to assist you. Consider it a matter of having nothing better to do; I mean no harm.”

Xiao Yi anticipated that Xiang Yang would eventually raise this question, so he responded with composure. New novel chapters are published at novelhall.com

“Really?” Xiangyang expressed skepticism before continuing, “If we're already collaborating, surely you can disclose your name, right?”

He won’t derive any advantage from me. He surely wouldn't contemplate involving me in any nefarious activities!

Xiangyang’s demise was ultimately due to his naivety. Kidnapping is a crime, yet he was unsure how to respond, believing that Xiao Yi had nothing to gain from him.

“If it hadn't been for you, Mr. Sifa would never have taken in that detestable Shang Cijie. You deserve to die.”

Suddenly, a mix of anger and insanity flashed in Xiang Yang's eyes as he ferociously seized Shang Mingming's neck, laughing maniacally, “As long as you're dead, that's fine! Right! So be it! Hahaha, indeed, I'll do as you wish. I'll make sure you die.”

Fueled by envy, he clutched Shang Mingming’s neck tightly, his eyes filled with lethal intent.

“What are you doing?”

Luckily, one of his subordinates intervened and subdued Xiangyang, averting a potentially dire situation.

Shoved aside, an enraged Xiang Yang glowered at the man and snapped, “You're just a guard dog, how dare you push me? You're asking for death! Move!” After shoving the man aside, he attempted to resume his violent actions, seething with rage.

“You'd better stay still.”

The man's gaze turned deadly as he aimed a gun directly at Xiang Yang's forehead.

Alarmed, Xiang Yang recoiled in fear, his voice caught in his throat as he stood there, quivering.

“You, what are you trying to do? Remember, I'm your boss's partner, so watch your actions!” Xiang Yang stammered, his voice shaky with fear.

“My lord?” The man scoffed mockingly, as if dismissing something previously said.

“Kid, you've gotten yourself into a mess,” the man remarked coldly before knocking Xiang Yang out and tossing him onto the bed. He then frantically searched for Shang Mingming.

After ensuring everything was in order, the man let out a sigh of relief and allowed Shang Mingming to continue resting on his back, his expression then turning stern.
