Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The leader of the Greedy Wolf was quite wretched. He was stupid and did not even know how to retort.
Yan Jiu’s sharp sarcasm angered him a lot.
“Chief Song, look! Obviously, the wrongdoer finds others to blame first. My buddies are certainly much more powerful than her. It was because they had just finished their task and were in a poor state that she could defeat them.”
“Who is the shameless wrongdoer? The truth last night is that they got drunk and were ready to harass me. Worse still, they even coveted my spiritual artifact. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the restaurant owner and Dao Ge. He was also present.” Lan Cai’er refuted immediately, so as to let off steam.
No one was more shameless than such guys.
They even wrongly accused her of grabbing their artifact.
When she heard that Dao Ge was also present, Song Jingyun’s complexion slightly changed.
Ever since Xia Meng told her that Lan Cai’er tried to seduce Dao Ge, there had been a thorn in the flesh of Song Jingyun.
Determined to kill Lan Cai’er, she required Song Cheng to implement her evil plan. Song Cheng, in turn, assigned several female soldiers having a crush on Yan Jiu to set traps for Lan Cai’er.
To her surprise, those female soldiers never went back. Even their dead bodies were nowhere to be seen.
Song Cheng was also killed by an unknown force. In the worst case, the Alliance of Mercenaries would be badly influenced.
Finally, the joint task came to an end. Song Jingyun thought that by then Dao Ge would never meet Lan Cai’er. But what disappointed her was that Dao Ge became quite indifferent to her after coming back.
He met Lan Cai’er again last night?
How could they stay in the same place?
Song Jingyun felt terribly ill at ease and her gaze at Lan Cai’er turned quite menacing.
Chief Song was somewhat surprised to hear that his future son-in-law was also at the scene. He immediately asked his men to find the restaurant owner and waiter.
“Father, let me find Dao Ge.” Song Jingyun stood up and went out.
The owner and waiter of Shangyue Restaurant soon came over.
Chief Song questioned the two by saying, “Tell me, what happened last night?”
The two went dreadfully pale in no time. They took a look at Chief Song, then Lan Cai’er and finally the leader of the Greedy Wolf whose eyes were full of viciousness. Then the two instantly bent the knees.
“Chief, last night, this girl got heavily drunk in our restaurant. She saw the members of Greedy Wolf come over with a whip and drooled over their artifact. Then she started a fight. In the very end, she killed a soldier and took away the whip.”
The owner and waiter had to tell a lie.
Their family members were all taken away by the Greedy Wolf. If they dared to tell the truth, their beloved ones could not avoid the fate of being killed.
“Nonsense! It is absolutely not like this!” Lan Cai’er was flushing with rage. “The whip is mine. It has nothing to do with them.”
Dao Ge could prove that she was telling the truth. But how come he had not appeared yet? Lan Cai’er found it hard to prove herself innocent now.
“What a joke! You are just a green hand. How can you get such an earth grade high level spiritual artifact? Such an artifact must be made by a master. Then tell us, which master made the whip?” When hearing that Dao Ge would come over, Jiao Chong was a little worried. After seeing that Dao Ge still did not appear after a long while, he was overjoyed secretly.
“The whip is... Is...” Lan Cai’er bit her lips.
Her whip was made by Long Baobao. But she could not reveal the fact that the boy was still alive for the moment.
Lan Cai’er’s stammer emboldened Jiao Chong at this time.
“Don’t know what to say? This is because the whip can’t be yours! Obviously, you were greedy for money and grabbed my buddies’ spiritual artifact. Chief Song, everything is clear now. The woman killed my buddy and we must take her life.”
Lan Cai’er was at a total loss, overwhelmed by anger and anxiety. But the key witness Dao Ge was nowhere to be found.
Where was Dao Ge?
It turned out Song Jingyun found Dao Ge’s whereabouts then.
Earlier, in order to spend more time with Song Jingyun, Dao Ge had bought a house within the City of Mercenaries.
These days, he had been living here with Bo Qing.
Song Jingyun was so familiar with this place that she even did not need guiding.
She frowned when pushing the door open.
There was a pungent smell of alcohol all over.
Dao Ge was sitting in the room with his right hand holding a jar of wine, which was spread all over his clothes. His left arm...
“Brother Dao, what happened to your arm?” Song Jingyun was shocked to see that Dao Ge’s left arm was blood-soaked and plastered. Someone had broken his arm bones.
“How come you are here?” After a sleepless night, Dao Ge lost all his grace. Her voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot and his hair disheveled.
“I... Did you meet Lan Cai’er last night?” Song Jingyun instantly raised her voice.
“How do you know that? What happened? The guys from the Greedy Wolf made trouble for Cai’er?” The jar in Dao Ge’s hand fell into pieces.
He got up in no time, ready to find Lan Cai’er.
“Cai’er? What a loving address term. Take it easy, your Cai’er is all right. The two captains of Disha have already stood up for her. Sha, in particular, cannot treat her more nicely.” Song Jingyun’s words were intended to annoy Dao Ge in every way.
Song Jingyun paid attention to Dao Ge’s reaction all the time. The mention of Sha made Dao Ge instantly clench his uninjured hand.
It seemed that the air around him froze all of a sudden.
Song Jingyun was quite anxious.
Having realized something, she jumped over and hugged Dao Ge tightly.
“Dao Ge, you will never leave me, right? When you were young, you told me that you would be nice to me for life.” Despite the fact that she was holding the man before her, Song Jingyun felt that she would lose him.
After a while, Dao Ge spread his fingers instantly.
“Jingyun, I will be nice to you all the time... I will treat you as my dear sister. But I cannot... I cannot marry you. I fall in love with Lan Cai’er. Let’s annul the engagement.”
Dao Ge endured great pain last night.
He recalled over and over again how badly it hurt when Lan Cai’er left him.
He kept thinking about the girl all the time. The feeling of love was addictive and he could never forget about Lan Cai’er.
When Song Jingyun came into the room, Dao Ge even felt unfamiliar with his fiancée.
He was not in the slightest attracted by the coming woman who he once thought was his destined soulmate.
“No, Dao Ge, what are you saying? You must be drunk and lose your mind.” Song Jingyue hugged Dao Ge even more tightly and would never loosen her grip.
“Jingyue, I am so sorry. I will explain it to your father in person. This is my fault.” Dao Ge’s face was full of guilt and he pushed away Song Jingyun.
