Chapter 119: That’s Interesting

Chapter 119

Initially, Ke Muning wanted to write down his obscenities in Hua Country characters, and send the photo to Wei Xuanming. But when he couldn't master the language after a considerable effort, he resorted to calling.

He figured that a face-to-face exchange of harsh words is quite refreshing.

Li Xiaoya, consequently, was chosen to curse in the language of the Hua Country.

However, she instinctively pulled her punches when venting anger. Ke Muning thought that she lacked the vulgar language of an adult.

"Should we dispatch someone to infiltrate the Hua Country?" An aide asked.

"No need to provoke their nation... They will venture overseas again," Ke Muning dismissed with a wave of his hand.

"Do you mean..."

"If there's an overseas business mishap, someone will have to go out and deal with it. If Wei Lin steps in, we'll kill him first. Without Wei Lin, they will have to rely on the lame and the mute. And if the old man decides to step up... that would be quite beneficial," Ke Muning voiced nonchalantly.

"It seems like the journey was in vain," the subordinate lamented his lack of effort.

"How could it be futile?" Ke Muning turned towards Li Xiaoya, "Let's go! You haven't learnt how to kill yet."

Li Xiaoya looked at him, utterly baffled.

With the two uncles gone, was he going to condemn the innocent?

Ke Muning pulled out his lighter, "pop" opened the lid, and intended to light a cigar.

But Secretary Wang stretched out his hand to intercept it, warning, "There's a child here."

Ke Muning frowned, pondering for a moment. Although he's a man who doesn't bother with niceties, especially like killing, he figured he could make an exception for smoking.

Ke Muning let go, then continued his line of thought, "Has the news about my trip to kill the Gui brothers spread around the world?"

"Almost," replied an aide.

Ke Muning ordered, "Prepare the plane then. We head to Atari Island immediately to meet another foe."

His aide was stunned, "Your target is he..."

Ke Muning shrugged, "Of course, perfect if we can kill two birds with one stone."

"My friend, you don't need to come with us," Ke Muning turned his gaze on Secretary Wang.

Without batting an eye, Secretary Wang pointed to Li Xiaoya and said, "I am responsible for the child. I have to take her back."

Ke Muning's smile disappeared when he retorted, "Are you afraid I'll kill her?"

"I'm worried you'll kidnap her," Secretary Wang shot back.

"......"

Ke Muning fell silent for a moment, his voice cooling significantly, "That place, I can't take you."

Sating this, he turned to Li Xiaoya, "Your choice. Leave with him now, or come with me to learn what you want. When we finish, I'll send you back to your home in Hua Country."

Secretary Wang focused on Li Xiaoya, awaiting her decision.

She could choose to leave with him and avoid further trouble.

But would it really end there?

Nothing changed, Ke Muning still had murder in his intentions, only on hold temporarily due to circumstances.

But she gets to go home with Secretary Wang...

She might have to encounter Ke Muning again in the future... how should she deceive him then?

Li Xiaoya's little mind was in a tussle between two thoughts.

Secretary Wang chuckled, "Is it tough to decide?"

Li Xiaoya looked at Ke Muning.

Li Xiaoya nodded.

So this is the world viewed through a telescope, objects become tremendously vast.

Ke Muning took it off, saying, "This is the adjustment knob..." Frowning, he continued, "Dependence on translations is quite troublesome. I ought to study English more seriously upon my return."

Li Xiaoya slightly nodded.

"The second car is emerging," said his subordinate standing nearby.

Ke Muning replied, "That old man is afraid of dying. He will only show up after the first few cars have circled around to confirm it's safe.”

His subordinate nodded, continuing the ambush.

Hearing their conversation, Li Xiaoya once again sighed, Ke Muning might be crazy, but he definitely wasn’t simple-minded. He was truly a formidable enemy!

Ten minutes passed.

The cars that came out took a round and went back.

Almost after waiting for another half an hour, Li Xiaoya’s pot of water was almost at the bottom.

Another car appeared.

And as soon as it showed up...

"Bang!" a sound echoed, followed by a rumble like a chain of firecrackers going off.

"That’s a wrap," Ke Muning said, unlit cigar clenched in his mouth, he passed his sniper rifle to his subordinate.

The island erupted into chaos.

Ke Muning hurriedly pulled Li Xiaoya into the helicopter. In the rush, her hat fell off.

Ke Muning leaned back relaxedly in his chair, saying, "You see, quite simple."

He said, "I’m glad you chose to come here with me. Next, I’m off to North Africa, would you like to experience that with me?"

Li Xiaoya asked, "What day of the week is it today?"

"Monday."

"I have to go back to school."

Ke Muning expressed regret, "Alright then, go study English." He wrote a number on a paper and gave it to her.

Li Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, then wrote down her own number for him.

If Ke Muning showed any signs of action against her uncle or grandfather, she would be instantly informed.

Ke Muning, holding her phone number, seemed quite pleased. He said, "Until next time,"

Li Xiaoya was returned to the previous island, where Secretary Wang was waiting for her.

"Is Ke Muning in a pretty good mood?" Secretary Wang asked her.

Li Xiaoya leaned her head, "Maybe."

"But someone's not in a very good mood..." Secretary Wang pointed to a door behind him.

There's no need for him to say more. Li Xiaoya's eyes lit up: "Sheng Yuxiao is inside?"

Secretary Wang nodded and watched as she rushed in joyfully like a gust of wind.

Alright then.

Love is, after all, a two-way journey.

And Sheng Yuxiao wouldn't stay upset for more than three seconds.

Watching the door being pushed open, and the young girl vanish inside, Secretary Wang quietly mused with a smile, "If Ke Muning decides to mold her into a version of himself, things are going to get interesting..."
