"Trapped?" "What plan?"

Zhang Meng's eyes darted around as she deliberately pretended to be stupid.

She had used her entire life's acting skills these past two days. Being able to get away with it until now was truly her limit!

Xia Xingyu saw that she didn't want to admit it, so she stopped and didn't continue to support her.

Sure enough, Zhang Meng lost all her strength for a moment and stood up straight. It was as if her stomach had stopped hurting in an instant.

"Be honest. What are you trying to do by tricking me into coming here?"

Xia Xingyu could guess Zhang Meng's purpose, but she couldn't understand. To trick her into coming to the powerful city, was there really a need to spend so much effort?

Zhang Meng pursed her lips. At this point, she knew that she could no longer hide it.

"Xingyu, I really feel pity for you …"

This was Zhang Meng's true idea.

But cheating Xia Xingyu to come here was only one of them.

Hearing this, Xia Xingyu became silent. She and Shen Peian had nothing to regret about. Although it wasn't him who killed her mother, it was still related to their relationship.

"Let's go back to Jincheng. I can't even breathe if I stay here for one more second."

Xia Xingyu wasn't joking; she had left with her life on the line because she didn't want to come back to this place ever again.

With that said, Xia Xingyu turned back, preparing to book the closest flight back.

But before she had taken more than a few steps, she saw Shen Peian.

The man was dressed in an expensive suit, and his expression was cold and indifferent. It was even harder to get close to him than in the past.

"Sigh!" "Isn't that …"

Zhang Mengzi had seen Shen Peian's appearance many times in the newspapers and magazines. Now that she had seen him alive, she felt very excited.

Unfortunately, before she could finish, Xia Xingyu had already tightly covered her mouth.

Not only that, Xia Xingyu was also dragging Zhang Meng to the corner.

If Shen Peian saw him, he would definitely die.

"Woo woo woo!"

Zhang Meng was strongly protesting against this, but unfortunately, her mouth was tightly sealed. She could only let out this incoherent whining sound.

Hearing the commotion, Shen Pei An subconsciously looked over. Seeing this, Xia Xingyu quickly hid behind Zhang Meng.

Plop! Plop!

Xia Xingyu's heart beat rapidly. She did not have the courage to face Shen Peian.

The moment Zhang Meng saw Shen Peian, her eyes and mouth widened, and she was unable to utter a single word.

This man's aura was way too strong. She suddenly understood why Xia Xingyu didn't want to come back.

"Payan, what's wrong?"

Pei Zi Yun looked at Shen Pei an with a puzzled expression. He had no idea why he was staring at the two women.

Shen Pei only regained his composure after Pei Zi Yun patted his shoulder.

"Oh, a videoconference at three o'clock?"

The way he replied made Pei Zi Yun's mouth twitch uncontrollably.

"That's right!" Hurry up and go, we still need to talk business with others! "

With Pei Zi Yun's urging, Xia Xinyu was finally able to escape calamity.

The man retracted his gaze and did not say much. Thinking of Xia Xingyu, his heart was always a bit sour and astringent.

"Whew ~"

Only when Shen Peian had gone far away did Xia Xingyu finally straighten up, while Zhang Meng maintained her stiff and unmoving demeanor.

"Xingyu, help me! My whole body is numb!"

"Puchi!"

Hearing this, Xia Xingyu simply laughed out loud. This Zhang Meng, she really was!

"If you lie to me, do you dare to do it again?"

Xia Xingyu looked at Zhang Meng with a scrutinized face. After a moment, she smiled and went to help Zhang Meng move her body.

But at this moment, Zhang Meng stared fixedly at Xia Xingyu's back, her face full of fear.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Xingyu did not know what tricks Zhang Meng was trying to pull, but she subconsciously followed her gaze.

In that instant when the man's eyes met, Xia Xingyu's entire being was in a bad mood.

Shen Pei An, why did he come back?

"You still know how to come back!"

Shen Peian's voice was cold, and the malice in his eyes was enough to startle anyone.

However, Xia Xingyu was surprised and panicked for a moment before calming herself down. Her eyes slightly narrowed as she took two steps forward and curled her red lips. Her tone was filled with ridicule.

"Shen Peian, I want to know... What identity do you have for me? "

"The raiders of the Imperial Conglomerate? Or the murderer of my parents?"

Xia Xingyu's words caused the space to freeze. Anyone could tell that it was no longer Shen Peian's fault.

Pei Zi Yun frowned, he was extremely dissatisfied. He was Shen Pei An's closest relative, and was very clear on how many things this little rascal had done for Xia Xingyu.

Thinking of this, Pei Zi Yun began to feel sorry for Shen Pei An.

"How can you say that? Your dad broke the law first, so others can only blame him …"

"Shut up!"

Before Pei Zi Yun could finish his sentence, he was scolded by Shen Peian. He had promised Xia Xingyu that he would protect Ning Xi, and he was unable to do so!

But now, everything had been completed and nothing could be saved.

Shen Pian walked over and grabbed Xia Xingyu's arm. This time, he definitely wouldn't let go of this woman.

"Come with me!"

Shen Peian's attitude was resolute, and there was no room for discussion. Xia Xingyu struggled a bit, and had no choice but to give up. She could only fiercely glare at him to catch the hatred in her heart!

"Do you only know this technique?"

Xia Xingyu's flustered appearance actually made Shen Peian feel better. He had wind under his feet and was about to leave the airport with the woman.

After not returning for so long, it was time to let her see what the current empire was like.

Seeing this, Zhang Meng finally moved her body. If they wanted to leave, she could not leave them behind.

"Wait for me …" "Hold on!"

As Zhang Meng spoke, she ran towards them. Unexpectedly, her legs gave way and she was about to kiss the ground intimately.

Luckily, Pei Zong had managed to hold her back.

"Thank you …" "Thank you!"

Zhang Meng raised her head as she spoke, only then did she clearly see Pei Zi Yun's appearance. This man was pitch black, and gave people a sense of security.

"I'm fine!"

Being stared at by Zhang Meng, Pei Zi Yun felt uncomfortable. He waited for Zhang Meng to regain her balance before following closely behind Shen Pei An.

Pei Zi Yun's face suddenly turned hot, this caused Pei Zi Yun to feel extremely uncomfortable.

The black business car matched Shen Peian's gloomy personality. Xia Xingyu was pulled onto the car by him without saying a word.

She said it was resentment, but she didn't want to face the fact that her mother had died again.

The culprit, Xiahou Yong, was already dead. He deserved to die. Xia Xingyu did not care, but when she saw Shen Peian, she would think of Ning Xi.

That was why she had fled again and again.
