Chapter 20; No, please don't...

They took her usual private room and settled down, "What can I offer you, Lady Marshall?" The manager hurriedly approached them and inquired in panic, this was the first time his boss has visited the place since it was opened.

"Bring some wine and bring me those girls here... I need to clean up.." she leaned back against the couch trying to relax a little.

The Manager nodded his head and walked away closing the door behind him.

Mu Xi glanced at his lady for a second before minding his own business, he knew his status and he didn't have a right to question her or judge her.

A waitress walked in carrying a bottle of wine and she gently placed it on the table, she had just placed when she pulled out a gun before she could aim at her target, Mu Xi did counterattack and subdued her in seconds.

"Sigh! Even waitresses are trying to assassinate me... I wonder what this friend of mine did!" she lightly murmured without even opening her eyes while her fingers tapped on her chest lazily.

" What do we do with her?" Mu Xi inquired curiously, this was the second time already, and he was wondering who was behind this sudden attack.

Manager Wu walked in to see the waitress pinned down on the ground and a bottle of wine was placed on the table, he was also carrying a bottle of wine.

"Aahhh..! I didn't tell her to bring in any bottle of wine!" Manager Wu was surprised.

" Go and bring over all the drugs we have in the store." Her motive was very clear, she was going to feed her drugs.

Manager Wu hurriedly brought over the drugs and passed them to Mu Xi, being an expert, he tore open one packet and opened her mouth wide open.

"Nooo....!" He poured the entire content into her mouth as he also poured a few mouthfuls of wine into her mouth and then let go of her.

"Who sent you over to kill me?" Her voice was frosty and laid back but still hypnotizing enough.

" I don't know, I was just told to stab the knife into your heart, and then I can be heavily awarded." She spoke out robotically as she writhed on the ground in pain.

" Where do you come from?" She inquired again, her voice still emotionless and she hadn't opened her eyes.

"A military Camp in the East.." She responded as drugs began kicking in. She was sweating and feeling high.

" A Military Camp? Since when did I offend them?" She frowned in annoyance.

" Manager Wu, take her to my Casino in Hengdu City, I'm very certain she will fetch a good amount of money and promote my business and after a few days have passed and no one needs her services to send her to the brothel." She didn't give a damn about anything, she only thought of money and profits.

"No! Please don't!" Mu Xi signaled the manager to hurry up with his fingers.

Manager Wu signaled two bodyguards to come over and take her outside.

"Manager Wu, your security is lacking, do you want us to be caught selling drugs? Also prepare a different private room to my preference, this one has already been marked." Her voice was cold, it was as if a tsunami was coming.

"Yes.. yes Boss lady" he hurriedly vanished out of the door leaving them to their vices.

"Lady Marshal.." Mu Xi called her worriedly when he saw her eyes were still closed and she was frowning.

"Go and get me some painkillers.." she ordered him as she sat up opening her eyes, she opened the wine bottle and poured some content into her glass.

She picked up the wine glass and slightly swirled the wine glass, the aromatic wine scent wafted across her nose and she lightly frowned. This was the wine bottle the waitress had brought over.

"Also, check out the production of this wine and the process of distribution." She placed the wine glass back onto the table as she leaned back on the couch lazily.

Mu Xi nodded his head as he went out to fulfill those orders.

Back in the mansion, Lai JiCheng couldn't sleep as he felt plagued with all sorts of issues, no matter how much he tried to figure her out, he still couldn't get answers.

Xie Mo has always been respectful towards her elders and sometimes she was approachable warm and kind, but why is the present Xie Mo opposite of the past girl he had known?

He walked into his study room and began going through different cases, some of them had lost the leads and some of them didn't have even a tiny clue.

He thought of the handgun's serial number, he took his mobile phone out of his trouser pocket and gazed at the picture of the serial number before making a phone call.
