Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty

"Well... We used to be best friends back in school days." He Susu smiled at Xu Mey who was gaping.

"Best friends? Are you sure?" Obviously, Xu Mey wasn’t convinced.

He Susu passed an odd look to Xu Mey saying, "How can I be wrong about that? We were really best friends."

"So, what happened then?" Xu Mey probed a bit.

"What do you mean?" He Susu frowned.

"I mean, Aunt Su you just said that you guys were best friends. Are you not anymore? Or something happened? Like a conflict or something?"

He Susu pondered for a while and answered, "We didn’t have any conflict. After high school, she just vanished and I didn’t see her after that." After a pause, she changed the topic saying, "Oh, I have something in the kitchen. I made it for you to take home. Give it your husband okay?" Xu Mey nodded in a daze.

’If there was no conflict then why did she vanish? And why is Jie with her?’ Xu Mey thought that she’d go crazy thinking about all this, so she stopped thinking.

Zhu Qinyang had noticed her frustration. "Xiao Mey!" Xu Mey looked at Zhu Qinyang. "I don’t know why you’re so curious but if you want to know about the conflict, go to my brother. Chen never told Su about what Zhou Ning did."

Xu Mey straightened up. "What did she do?"

Zhu Qinyang shook her head while shrugging. "I really have no clue. I just know that Chen asked me to make sure that Zhou Ning doesn’t come anywhere near Su. When I asked the reason, he said that she’s not worthy of being a friend of Su."

That left Xu Mey in an even bigger dilemma. ’What the hell happened?’ She had the urge to scream.

"Auntie Qin-Qin, where is Uncle Chen?" Xu Mey asked about the whereabouts of Zhu Chen.

"Chen is in Imperial City for some work. He’ll be back in a few days."

’Gosh! I have to wait more! That’s not fair anymore!’ But she could only swallow up her frustration and say, "I’ll wait for him then."

Xu Mey stayed till late afternoon with them and when she decided to leave. He Susu brought the packed meal for Xu Mey to take with her. Xu Mey gladly took the food and left the military compound.

On her way back to home, Xu Mey received a call from an unknown number. She picked up and before she could speak, she heard a familiar voice, "Hello, dear elder sister!"

Xu Mey’s good mood was thrown out the window. "What do you want?" She asked in an annoyed tone.

"What, don’t plan on pretending to be the pitiful little girl anymore?" Xu Liqing asked with sarcasm.

"Not planning on it anymore. You get to the business."

"My business is that I want to meet you." Xu Mey heard Xu Liqing’s voice.

Xu Mey snorted. "And do you think that you’ll ask and I’ll come?"

"What are you scared of me now?" Xu Liqing laughed heartily and added, "Don’t worry, choose the place yourself since you don’t trust me."

It was true that Xu Mey didn’t believe Xu Liqing at all but she also wasn’t scared of her as well. She just didn’t want to meet her. "I’m not interested." Xu Mey replied without thinking.

"Either you meet me or I’ll come to your husband’s place to cause a ruckus. Would you like that?"

Xu Mey really didn’t want to involve Ye Jie with anything that concerned Xu Liqing. Therefore she decided, "Bamboo Tree Teahouse... You have 20 minutes to be there." With that, Xu Mey disconnected the call.

She reversed the car and drove towards the Teahouse. The reason she chose the tea house was that she was familiar with that place. When she arrived at the teahouse. Xu Liqing was not there. Xu Mey chose to sit in one of the private rooms and waited for Xu Liqing.

After waiting for 5 minutes, she called Xu Liqing’s number and it instantly connected. "Where are you? I don’t have the entire night free for you."

Xu Mey heard Xu Liqing’s malicious voice, "Elder sister, no matter how much you grow up you’ll still fall for my tricks. After tonight, you won’t need free time for anything."

"What do you mean?" Xu Mey frowned and got up from the cushion in an alert mode.

Her question was just asked when Xu Mey felt the presence of other people in the tea room. The three masked men had a murdering look in their eyes as they jumped inside the room through the small window. Xu Mey was completely caught unprepared. "I’ll kill you, Liqing!" She snarled and Xu Liqing laughed out even louder.

"Try to live yourself first. I hired them specifically from the Tokyo mercenary. They’re hired to kill you and make you vanish without a trace." With those words, Liqing disconnected the call.

"F*ck!" Xu Mey cursed and stared back at the men. One of the men held a gun in his hand while the other had a sword.

In her hurry, Xu Mey wasn’t carrying her shurikens with her. "I can offer you double the money of what she had." She tried to negotiate.

"A mission is a mission. Money is not our concern." The one with the gun spoke arrogantly.

Xu Mey smiled evilly at his words. It’s not like she didn’t hear the rules. For assassins, the mission was always important because their reputation was at stake.

"Okay..." Xu Mey said backing off a bit. She raised her hands in defense and said, "Let’s end it faster." In a blink of an eye, Xu Mey kicked the tea table making the scalding tea water, fall on one of the masked men.

She only heard a low ’hiss’ and that was what she’d expected as well. They were given much worse treatment during their training, a bit of scalding water of no concern to them. But Xu Mey used their moment of hiss to pull out the daggers from the waist of one of them in front of her.

The man with the gun pulled a trigger and with a low bang, the bullet shot out towards Xu Mey. Without thinking, Xu Mey leaned backward and fell on the ground with her hands supporting her body, she perfectly did a back handspring and avoided the bullet. Before her feet touched the ground again, she threw the dagger towards two of the men but one of the men with the sword dodged her attack but the other wasn’t lucky enough as the dagger sliced right his stomach.

Seeing one of his men, groaning in pain, the one with the gun aimed directly at her head. Xu Mey was stuck between the wall and the muzzle of his gun with nowhere to run. It was closed room and was too small for fighting.

’I’m really the dumbest person who came here without backup.’ She thought in her heart and closed her eyes.

Only the sound of pulling the trigger and a ’bang’ was heard after that in the room.
