Episode 9

Xuanyuan Lie glances her appraisingly once again before rudely letting go of her face…

Ouch! This man’s unsparing hand! Xiaoxiao hurriedly rubs her poor chin.

Xuanyuan Lie ignores this thin fragile driver and heads towards the other end of the corridor. Xiaoxiao follows up closely.

Where could this man hide Maomao? She ponders the question. Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Lie suddenly stops, and she bumps into his back and bounces back onto the ground.

Damn, why does he stop so suddenly?

Just as she curses in secrecy, a black-clad man appears from the other end of the corridor, “Lord, we’ve turned every stone in the casino but didn’t find the woman.”

“Any information about her?” Xuanyuan Lie says in a bleak voice.

“No, either. I’m afraid the woman is a professional killer. We can’t get anything about her.” The black-clad man’s voice is trembling. Given current situation, the mother and son are undoubtedly regarded as the peers of yesterday’s killer.

“Lord, then... What to do with the kid? Do you want to erase him?” The black-clad man continues.

Mu Xiaoxiao has been listening to their conversation while sitting on the ground. She cheered up for her good luck of eavesdropping information about Maomao so soon, but…on hearing that sentence, her eyes blink with icy gleam. She fixes her eyes on Xuanyuan Lie’s back, sparkling sprays of killing intention. If he says yes, she will immediately take preemptive moves, at any costs.

Strange that Xuanyuan Lie doesn’t reply.

“Lord?” The black-clad man calls him tentatively.

“Bring the child over.” The charmingly freezing voice rings again.

“Yes.”

Hearing this, Mu Xiaoxiao breathes a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xuanyuan Lie doesn’t order to kill Maomao but has Maomao brought here instead. Is she meeting with Maomao in a while?

“What are you doing sitting on the ground?” Xuanyuan Lie turns around before she notices.

“Nothing, I fell.” She has collected the coldness from her eyes and stands up calmly.

Then, Xuanyuan Lie fishes around his waist and throws her a car key, “Go get my car and wait me at the door.”

What? Right now? Then she won’t be able to see Maomao?

His dark eyes turn harsh, and his eyebrows furrow.

Realizing that Xuanyuan Lie seems to be irritated, she slowly bows her head, “Yes sir.”

Watching Xuanyuan Lie enters another room, Xiaoxiao shuffles her feet at where she was. Go and get the car? Then she doesn’t know when the next time is that she can meet her son; but if she doesn’t, her real identity will soon be revealed. By then, saving Maomao will be even harder.

Xiaoxiao paces back and forth, baffled, when suddenly she catches that from far, a black-clad man, holding Maomao’s hand, is coming up from the other end of the corridor.

“Maomao…” She whispers in the sound of a mosquito.

At this moment... Maomao’s clever eyes also notice a brother over there. His eyeballs roll around and then stare steadily at him…or her…

In the long corridor, Xiaoxiao also gazes at her son. She wishes to rush over, take her son and run away at once… However, here is Night Empire. That would be too impulsive.

She eagers to know whether Maomao has been hurt or not. He comes closer and closer to her… Momentarily, they stop in front of a room, and then are led to the room Xuanyuan Lie entered.

She wonders whether Maomao recognized her or not…Damn! What does Xuanyuan Lie want to call Maomao in?

Mu Maomao, the one taken to the room, can’t help smiling in secrecy.
