Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 219 Dislike Bad Dog_1

Bewitching Xie Yan Er and his followers to slaughter each other was indeed Xiao Ming’s intended outcome.

But of course, this was not because he was particularly sinister or a demon from hell, but rather because he was very clear in his mind that to extract the truth from the lips of an experienced spy, one must first make the opponent’s defenses crumble.

The so-called conquest of the heart doesn’t necessarily have to target the person directly, sometimes targeting those close to them is more effective.

Unless Xie Yan Er was an emotionless psychopath, the outcome of personally killing a companion, with whom he had spent days and nights together, would certainly cause cracks in his emotional defenses.

Both outcomes meant death, but betrayal and personally taking action are of two completely different natures.

As for Si killing Xie Yan Er, that was simply not possible.

The result came out quickly, just as Xiao Ming had predicted, and it was only after a brief encounter that Si fell to the ground, clutching his bleeding neck, his final expression not one of hatred but of sorrow.

Xie Yan Er’s half of his face was covered in blood, resembling a demon.

"I want to defect! He is my pledge of allegiance!"

"Very good! I promise you, in the name of the person I love most, that the northerners will certainly not kill you!"

After Xiao Ming solemnly finished speaking, he asked, "Where is the item?"

Xie Yan Er exhaled, "It’s under the sofa of the booth I was sitting in before."

Xiao Ming nodded, about to confirm it, when he heard Fujiwara Rika already repeating the information to her subordinates through the intercom.

"You want that item too?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Of course not," Fujiwara Rika said with a flirtatious smile, "I just want to get it for my master as soon as possible."

"The truth?"

"Absolutely true."

Xiao Ming smiled wryly, "Alright! This time, I’ll assume you’re sincere. A little naughtiness from a puppy can be quite adorable at times."

Fujiwara Rika’s heart skipped a beat, then suddenly noticed his right hand was in his pocket. Thinking of something, she exclaimed in surprise, "Are your people there waiting?"

Xiao Ming took his hand out, clearly holding an intercom.

"If you were going to make a deal, would you hide the item far away from the meeting point?

So obviously, if the item is not on Mr. F47’s person, then it must be somewhere near his seat."

Fujiwara Rika pursed her lips and bowed her head, "Mr. Xiao, your foresight is admirable, and Rika is wholeheartedly convinced."

"It’s better if you really are convinced!"

Not long after his words fell, the door to the booth clicked open and Xiao Li walked in with a cold face. Upon seeing Xiao Ming’s condition, she immediately transformed into a blur, and when she stopped, she was holding a long knife, radiating a chilling brightness.

"Master, you’re hurt!"

"I’m not..."

"Ah!"

Another scream interrupted Xiao Ming as Xiao Bing ran in frantically.

"Brother, how could you..."

The girl’s outstretched hand trembled non-stop, tears flowing as if they cost nothing, arriving instantly.

"Don’t panic, I..."

"Xiao..."

The last person to enter, Ding Jianwei, also had a drastic change of expression, and his speed running toward Xiao Ming was not at all slower than Xiao Bing’s.

"I cut myself!"

To prevent the scene from descending into chaos, Xiao Ming quickly spoke up, "Don’t panic, and don’t ask why for now, just know I’m alright.

Li, put away the knife;

Bing, wipe your nose, you’re blowing bubbles;

And as for you..."

He finally looked at Ding Jianwei, "Be professional, did you get the item?"

Ding Jianwei nodded, "Got it, and it’s confirmed to be the real thing."

"That’s good, the scene is finally over."

Xiao Ming let out a breath, put on his mask, and reached out his hand toward Xiao Bing; the girl immediately wiped away her tears and helped him up.

"I’ll leave the spy leader to you. How much intelligence you can get out of him before disembarking will be a testament to your skill."

"Where are you going?" Ding Jianwei asked.

"Where else? To stitch up my wounds!"

"Damn it, I thought this was going to be an easy money-making trip, but instead of making much, I’ve lost a lot of blood and it’s killing me.

Such rotten luck, it’s not like I owed you guys anything in my last life!"

Watching Xiao Ming curse and leave the room, Ding Jianwei slightly furrowed his brows: You guys? It was just me just now.

A fragrant breeze filled the air, and her gaze immediately settled on the kimono-clad woman in front of her.

"Who are you?"

Fujiwara Rika smiled seductively, bowed her head, and greeted, "Fujiwara Rika, captain of the gambling ship’s Asia region, a dog recently taken in by the boss. It’s a pleasure to meet you for the first time, please take good care of me!"

Ding Jianwei thought she must have misheard; how could a gambling ship’s captain be associated with a creature like a "dog"?

Wait, recently taken in...

"Who is your master?"

"Eh? Hasn’t the master told you, madam? Oh no, I’ve overstepped! I don’t know how the master will punish me."

Fujiwara Rika frowned and pouted, but there wasn’t a hint of worry in her eyes; instead, she seemed excited, almost looking forward to the punishment.

Subconsciously, Ding Jianwei imagined Xiao Ming with a whip and this woman on a bed, and she felt a wave of revulsion.

"How did you two meet?" she asked again, her voice heavy.

"That... is a little secret between me and the master, I’m afraid I cannot disclose it, I’m very sorry!" frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓

Fujiwara Rika’s sweet smile infuriated Ding Jianwei for some reason, but she also knew that she’d need to confront Xiao Ming to really get any answers, as the woman before her clearly wasn’t easy to deal with.

After a moment of silence, she said, "The ’you guys’ he mentioned just now includes you, right?"

Fujiwara Rika’s smile suddenly brightened even more, "The other one would be you, madam!

The explanation is actually quite simple.

Mr. Xiao wanted to fulfill your wishes, yet didn’t have the heart to let me suffer for breaking the gambling ship’s rules, so he took a roundabout approach, leading to the current situation.

Speaking of which, the moment I saw Mr. Xiao bleed for me, I felt so happy!"

Ding Jianwei was filled with a mix of anger and shame, touched yet annoyed, and utterly conflicted.

Then, Fujiwara Rika’s smile vanished as she coldly said, "So, his surname is indeed Xiao!"

Ding Jianwei was startled, cursing herself for making such a basic mistake, filled with regret.

Fujiwara Rika looked deeply into her eyes and continued, "Woman, you dare to come aboard the gambling ship to nab someone. You’ve got guts.

It’s just too bad you’re brave but not smart, letting a man muddle your thoughts so easily. You’re unfit to be an agent..."

Her words were cut off abruptly, as a chill ran up her spine, as if someone had placed a large block of ice behind her, making her hair stand on end.

"The master said," Xiao Li’s emotionless voice rang out, "he doesn’t mind the puppy being mischievous, but he dislikes a bad dog that causes trouble.

If there’s a next time, I’ll perform a weight-loss surgery on you, removing that chunk of fat you’re so proud of."

Fujiwara Rika instinctively clutched at her chest, swallowing dryly, and hung her head, "I... I will remember this."

Xiao Li then turned to Ding Jianwei, "Likewise, the master said: The night is long with many dreams, so get to work quickly!"

Having said that, the girl turned and walked away, and the temperature in the private room seemed to return to normal, mysteriously and eerily.

Fujiwara Rika dared not waste any more words, bowed her head, and left the private room with small quick steps.

When the door closed again, Si immediately said, "Your leader has promised me already, accepting my defection, and absolutely won’t kill me!"

Ding Jianwei was taken aback.

Leader? Who? Xiao Ming?

What on earth had that guy arranged for himself tonight?
