nShe really wanted him to go kill someone‽
nXiao Mo couldn't believe it because Xinghe didn't look like she was the kind of person who would order someone murdered.
nXinghe turned her head back, stared right into his eyes and asked,
"A person's life for your sister's stability and luxury for as long as she may live. I'll even do my best to find her the finest doctor to give her treatment, so… are you up for the trade or not?
"
nXiao Mo was quiet.
nHe had to admit, the offer Xinghe gave was pretty alluring.
nXiao Mo owed his sister his life so his biggest wish had always been to cure her illness and provide her a stable life.
nHe would do anything for his sister.
nHowever…
n
"I have to admit your offer is indeed very tempting but I don't think I need to accept it. This is not my only way out.
"
nAfter all, murder was not only morally but also lawfully wrong. Life sentence awaited him. Who would be there to make sure his sister was taken care of after he died?
nFurthermore, he didn't have the heart to take an innocent life just so his sister could have a better one. He knew she wouldn't want it either.
nShe wouldn't want him to have blood on his hands for her sake.
nXinghe nodded as if she expected his answer. Then she added,
"But what if the person I want you to kill is Chui Ming?
"
n
"What did you say‽
" Xiao Mo's eyes zeroed in on Xinghe.
nThe initial surprise in his eyes quickly changed to unbridled hatred. Of course, the hatred wasn't aimed at Xinghe but the name she mentioned - Chui Ming!
n
"Who exactly are you?
" Xiao Mo regarded Xinghe with caution that previously wasn't there, he continued,
"What is your relationship to Chui Ming?
"
nXinghe responded slowly,
"I told you, my name is Xia Xinghe. Like you, Chui Ming is my enemy.
"
n
"You know about the thing between me and him?
"
n
"Why else would I come looking for you?
"
nNo wonder she was willing to lend him her aid.
nEverything made sense then.
n
"You came looking for me because you need me to kill him?
" Xiao Mo asked in return. He narrowed his eyes at Xinghe, reading the nuance of her every expression.
nXinghe nodded and replied,
"That's right, I can only sleep well after he's dead. Other than that, I'm a woman of my words, I will fulfill every promise I made you.
"
nXiao Mo started laughing humorlessly. He retorted,
"You want me to believe you based on words alone? How naïve do you think I am?
"
n
"Fine, how about I write you a cheque then? A hundred million, is that enough?
"
nA physical cheque did go a long way in helping Xinghe make her case. Finally, Xiao Mo believed her. Not the part where she needed him to murder Chui Ming but that she would help him look after his sister.
nHe had a giant choice laid before him.
nTo kill or not to kill Chui Ming.
nOf course, he wanted to kill Chui Ming! He had done it plenty of times in his dreams!
nBut what would happen to his sister after the fact?
nThe sole purpose of his life was to treat his sister's illness, to take care of her.
nIt was how he had kept his hatred for Chui Ming from going out of control. It was a tough gig.
nThere was simply too much Chui Ming had taken away from him, it wouldn't cross the line for him to take a little something back.
nThat little something Xiao Mo had decided would be his life.
nTherefore, Xinghe's offer was honestly really enticing…
nLooking at the lifeless woman who sat on the bed, Xiao Mo made a decision.
nIf sacrificing his own life could bring his sister a lifetime of happiness, he was willing to do it. Plus, there was the added bonus of getting to look Chui Ming in his eyes as he kills him, it was truly a profitable trade.
nHe nodded decisively and said,
"I'll do it!
"
