Chapter 555: Chapter 553: Atone for Your Sins with Death
She had been doing just fine as a missy in Country R, it was He Wanshan who insisted on domestic development, could this be blamed on her?!
And that Lu Zhaozhao, with such a high status, why did she have to be a mere fourth female lead?
If it wasn’t for her deliberately bewitching her with that fourth female lead role, how would she have ever kicked that steel plate?
It’s all her fault!
It’s all Lu Zhaozhao’s fault!
It’s all because of that woman that she has become what she is now!
She wants her dead! n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
He Xintian bit down on her teeth hard, making the excuse that she needed to go to the bathroom.
Taking advantage of the guard standing at the door, she escaped directly from the bathroom window.
Instead of choosing to go back to Country R, she used the jewelry on her person to buy a fruit knife at the convenience store, changed out of her gown, put on a mask and hat, and re-ambushed at the exit of the banquet.
Lu Zhaozhao wanted her to have nothing, right?
Then she would make her die!
He Xintian, crazed, was guarding the exit, completely unaware that her every move had already been watched.
"This lady, what are you doing here?" Suddenly, a person looking like security appeared beside He Xintian.
He Xintian’s body shook, and the fruit knife she was clutching suddenly fell to the ground.
Her panic intensified, "I, I’m not doing anything, I’m just waiting for someone here."
Seeing her panicked state, the security personnel, even if not very bright, understood that this woman was probably not simply waiting for someone.
He immediately tugged at the walkie-talkie on his chest and said to the inside: "We’ve found a suspicious person at the exit of the banquet hall, she..."
Before the security personnel could finish, He Xintian turned and ran.
At this point, she was only suspected of being a suspicious person; as a security person, he had no right to detain her.
So even if she ran now, she wouldn’t attract their attention.
But He Xintian was wrong.
The security personnel indeed wouldn’t do anything to her.
But Pei Huai’s people had been watching her all along in the shadows.
Ever since she and He Wanshan were thrown out from the banquet hall, Pei Huai’s people had been following them.
Even after He Xintian escaped, Pei Huai’s subordinates kept close, never losing her.
Now, after seeing her circle around and head back to the banquet hall, they notified the security personnel to drive her away.
Seeing her running frantically to an uninhabited neighborhood, Pei Huai’s subordinates immediately appeared, catching He Xintian red-handed.
He Xintian’s unfinished great deed was thus strangled in its cradle.
Meanwhile, Lingmu was already impatiently seeking out Pei Huai to confess after He Xintian escaped from under his watch.
Inside the resting room, he knelt in front of Pei Huai’s sofa, shaking uncontrollably, "Family Head, I really didn’t expect that woman to think of escaping, I really didn’t mean it, I, I’ve already sent people to look for her..."
He didn’t know why he had come to Pei Huai immediately after the escape to confess.
But he always felt that if he didn’t notify Pei Huai immediately and something really happened, not even a hundred lives would suffice to compensate.
Pei Huai’s fingertips lightly tapped on the back of his chair, originally because of what happened with He Wanshan, Lingmu is definitely going to receive a severe punishment in the Rimu Family.
But what he didn’t expect was Lingmu coming over as soon as he lost track of her, crying a river of tears.
His subordinates had actually reported to him long before.
The moment He Xintian ran out, he received the message, even earlier than Lingmu’s report.
But this Lingmu actually amused him.
At least, he was someone who knew the times, just... a bit foolish.
But being foolish was good, the more foolish, the better they can be used.
His gaze swept over Lingmu, and then he slowly began to speak: "She has been found, standing at the entrance of the banquet hall with a fruit knife, I wonder who she planned to attack..."
Lingmu almost fainted on the spot when he heard this.
Was this He Xintian ill?
Not going to let herself live, and now she doesn’t plan on letting others live either?
"Family Head! All of these actions are He Xintian’s own doing, absolutely nothing to do with me! I, I..."
Lingmu now finally understood what it meant to be at a loss for words.
He felt that he was already miserable enough being pitted by He Wanshan and his daughter.
Who knew there were worse things...
Lingmu felt that if this continued, he really would end up dying to atone for his sins, but just as he was considering how to make it right, he heard Pei Huai’s cool voice slowly rise.
"Here’s your last chance, you wouldn’t disappoint me, right?"
Lingmu was so moved he almost cried, he nodded his head repeatedly, "Please rest assured, Family Head, I definitely won’t make the same mistake again."
Pei Huai didn’t even glance at him, lightly "hmmed" in response, pretending to mention casually: "If someone escapes from you again, you might as well die to apologize."
When he spoke, his tone was indifferent, making it difficult to detect his mood, but Lingmu involuntarily shivered.
He realized that the Family Head was truly angry.
Lucky for him, he had notified the Family Head the moment the woman escaped; otherwise, ten lives wouldn’t be enough to make amends.
"Yes, yes, I guarantee they will never escape for the rest of their lives." Lingmu hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
Since Pei Huai disliked He Wanshan and his daughter so much, he definitely wanted to satisfy the Family Head.
Seeing that he was on the right track, Pei Huai waved him away.
Soon after, only Pei Huai was left in the room; he leaned back in his chair and let out a long sigh of relief.
Fortunately, He Xintian didn’t get a chance to make a move; if she had really seen Lu Zhaozhao, Song Sinian definitely wouldn’t take it lightly.
He knew that Song Sinian would not be ruthless towards them for Lu Zhaozhao’s sake, but with Song Sinian’s vindictive nature, he wouldn’t have comfortable days ahead.
Song Sinian wouldn’t kill him, but he had the power to prevent him from having time to spend with Xia Wenyan.
The thought of this possibility gave Pei Huai a headache.
Really, it’s not scary to deal with swords and shadows, but sinister tricks are another story...
"Achoo!"
Out of nowhere, Song Sinian, sitting in the bedroom, sneezed.
Lu Zhaozhao immediately turned with concern, "Husband, are you catching a cold?"
As she spoke, she walked over to Song Sinian and reached out to touch his forehead.
There were no signs of fever; it should be just a simple cold.
Song Sinian grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace, "Don’t worry, I just feel a bit itchy in my nose, I’m not sick."
Ever since his last hospitalization, Lu Zhaozhao had been extremely anxious about his health.
Of course, Song Sinian understood, so he never blamed her for making a big deal out of it; instead, he tried his best to cooperate with her.
