Although he was shocked, Ling Lai's thoughts had nothing to do with Xiao Zheng. He only wanted to make sure that Itō and Tomiko's deaths wouldn't bring about too many repercussions. Not to mention that Ling Lai wanted to be the empress, even if she wanted to be the Goddess of Mercy, Xiao Zheng didn't care.
In this regard, Ling Lai had given him enough assurance.
"If the royals believe me, I'd rather say that I killed them." Ling Lai's slender fingers stroked her numb legs and smiled. "Mr. Xiao, don't worry and live your life. I'll take care of the aftermath. "
Xiao Zheng nodded slightly and said, "Looks like Your Highness is going to be busy for a while."
Ling Lai smiled and said, "Mr. Xiao, you must be joking."
Not long after, Mitsui Baiji arrived with his people. He commanded them to clean up the battlefield. However, there was respect in his eyes. Respect for Xiao Zheng and Tina.
Just like Yuji, she was only half a step away from becoming a peerless powerhouse. Although she wasn't there to watch the battle, she could analyze the time and concluded that the two battles didn't last long.
This also meant that Xiao Zheng and Tina destroyed Ito and Yuki in a way that was close to instant killing.
Just how powerful were these two people?
At the same time, she rejoiced. Fortunately, her master wasn't their enemy, but an ally with common interests. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully from tonight onwards.
"Your Highness, it's getting late. We should leave. "Xiao Zheng said goodbye to Ling Lai.
"I wanted to invite you two to have a midnight snack." Ling Lai smiled.
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng smiled. "We'll have it next time."
Then, he and Tina floated away and disappeared into the darkness.
As soon as the two of them left, Mitsui Baiji slowly walked up to Ling Lai and said in a low voice, "They are too strong."
"I saw it." Ling Lai nodded in agreement.
"Fortunately, it's not an enemy." Mitsui Baiji spoke his mind.
"Itō said it just now. I shouldn't have made him my enemy. "Ling Lai smiled. "Unfortunately, he said it a little too late."
After a moment of silence, Mitsui Baiji said excitedly, "Master, your time has come."
Ling Lai's eyes turned cold. He pursed his lips and said, "Guess who I'm going to find next?"
"Who?" Mitsui Baiji asked curiously.
"Yoshiko." Ling Lai smiled. His eyes were filled with coldness.
Mitsui Baiji's body trembled slightly as he thought to himself, I almost forgot. His master had never been a broad-minded person. She would definitely settle accounts with those who had bullied her all these years. She wouldn't let anyone go!
…
"She is a very dangerous woman."
On the road at night, Tina and Xiao Zheng were walking side by side. She took the initiative to speak.
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded. "She is indeed very dangerous."
"If it's not necessary," Tina said slowly. "Don't deal with her."
"I think so too." Xiao Zheng smiled. "A woman who dared to kill her own mother. Who else in this world can receive her kindness? "
Tina's eyes were solemn and she didn't say a word.
The two returned to the hotel. Just like the night before, Tina slept on the bed and Xiao Zheng slept on the sofa. In the past, Tina might have taken the initiative to take the sofa and leave the bed for Xiao Zheng.
But now, she seemed to have accepted Xiao Zheng's modesty. She slept on the bed with a clear conscience.
Xiao Zheng, who was lying on the sofa, turned over and glanced at Tina under the moonlight. "Come back with me?"
Tina was silent for a moment before she finally shook her head and said, "No."
"There's a mission?" Xiao Zheng asked with a frown.
"Yes." Tina nodded.
"Actually, you don't have to take on any more missions," Xiao Zheng said slowly. "We don't lack money anymore."
Tina opened her eyes slightly and said with a pout, "I don't lack money either."
"Then why do you always take on missions?" Xiao Zheng sighed softly. "No matter how strong you are, you can't guarantee success forever."
"This is my life," Tina said calmly. "I can only feel reality when I'm on a mission."
Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment before a bitter smile appeared on his face.
He could understand Tina's feelings. Just like countless parents, even though their children were already successful and had earned enough money, they still couldn't accept it. But they could never let go of their work. Even though the monthly salary was less than what their children earned in a day. But this was their life. It had nothing to do with money.
In the quiet room, the two's breathing was very even. It was as if they had never experienced a dangerous assassination before. They were just like ordinary men and women, shopping, eating, and then lying on the bed exhausted.
For Tina, lurking, taking action, and then packing up might be the same as ordinary men and women shopping and eating. Was this her ordinary day?
Xiao Zheng said "goodnight" softly and slowly closed his eyes.
When he closed his eyes and opened his eyes, the sky was already bright. Before he got up, he knew that Tina had already left.
Xiao Zheng clearly remembered that Tina left at four in the morning. He knew that Tina should also know that Xiao Zheng knew. But the two just said goodbye in silence, not even a word of caution.
Just like how Tina couldn't persuade Xiao Zheng to return to his previous life, Xiao Zheng also couldn't pull Tina into his life. After a few attempts, they simply gave up on the idea. They respected each other's attitude and supported each other's lives.
Maybe for Xiao Zheng, Tina's life was too dangerous, but for Tina, wasn't Xiao Zheng's life too meaningless? Too boring?
"Goodbye."
Xiao Zheng murmured to himself. He checked out and returned to China.
As soon as he left the airport, Tang Ming's tall and mighty figure came into view. After taking over Xiao Zheng's luggage, he said as he walked, "My wife hasn't been able to contact you recently. She asked me to tell you that the plan has been drawn up. All that's left is for you to sign it. "
Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded. He got into Tang Ming's new Mercedes-Benz. "Okay."
Tang Ming glared at Xiao Zheng, who had disappeared for no reason. "I was almost driven crazy by Shen Han these past two days. Where did you go? Why couldn't you contact anyone? "
"I went to do some private work," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "It can be considered as adding some spice to Shen Han's plan so that it won't be too plain."
Tang Ming shook his head and said speechlessly, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, every time you disappear mysteriously, everything goes smoothly when you come back. I hope it's the same this time. This is the most important hurdle for Xin Ao. If you get through it, you'll soar. If you can't, you'll return to your original state. "
Xiao Zheng glanced at the majestic buildings flashing by outside the window and said calmly, "I'll definitely make Xin Ao soar."
"Then you'll really be able to reach the peak of your life!" Tang Ming said meaningfully.
Xiao Zheng tilted his head slightly, pursed his lips, and said with a smile, "Work hard too. Don't let me leave you too far behind."
"F * ck you. Pretentious! "
