This frail-looking little woman actually dared to brandish a large knife in front of Guan Gong? He could only say she was truly blind. “What do you want me to spit out? I’m not even pregnant—” Her trembling little hand touched the window frame, slowly standing up with shaky legs. “Who cares if you’re pregnant!” Gu Feiyang gradually approached her. “So you’re forcing me to spit?” She blinked her beautiful eyes; his unique male scent was intoxicating, making her almost breathless. “I mean, if you have any other weapons on you, spit them all out!” His black eyes were full of threat. “No! I don’t have any other weapons, really—ouch, please, don’t do this!” Woo, he’s so fierce! Her eyes were teary, turning pale with fear and weak in the knees. In desperation, she pushed the man and turned to jump out the window. “Hey!” Stupid pig! Does she want to break her legs? This is the second floor! Gu Feiyang reached out to grab her but was too late. “Ah! It hurts!” She fell entirely on the lawn, almost splitting her bottom, seeing stars. Painfully sitting up, she buried her discouraged little face in her knees, her mind blank. “Hey! Are you okay?” Gu Feiyang could hardly believe he was actually concerned about her injuries. When did he become so merciful? His usual principle was—showing mercy to enemies is being cruel to oneself. “I’m fine!”
Bai—”As her words fell, she lifted her delicate pink face, broke into a smile, and then suddenly rose, turning and leaving with long strides. Really nothing wrong? Gu Feiyang quickly rushed out of the room, ran down the stairs, chasing all the way to the road by the seaside embankment, but couldn’t find the girl’s trace. When he came to his senses, he realized he had actually chased after her. A sense of care, an indescribable heartache… quietly settled in his heart. Gu Feiyang leaned against the utility pole, looking thoughtful and feeling a bit annoyed, even incredulous. He had never taken women seriously before, but he discovered that when he witnessed her about to jump down without hesitation, his heart almost leaped out of his chest. Damn! He had just returned to Taiwan from Europe tonight, hadn’t even adjusted to the time difference, yet his emotions were already so turbulent. Could this beautiful young woman be his father’s mistress? If so, that would be… such a pity.
Chapter 2 Mimi felt she couldn’t face going into the company to see her boss. The entire night, she crouched at the company entrance, pondering how to face the upcoming questions, thinking while also dozing off. Several times she actually fell asleep, and when she did, that man brimming with masculine energy would follow her into her dreams. She dreamed of his charming dimples, dreamed of him embracing her with his strong arms, dreamed of him gently kissing her… Then she would suddenly wake up, and then fall asleep again sweetly and happily. Until daybreak, she realized her thoughts had been entirely focused on Gu Feiyang, and she hadn’t seriously considered the problems she was about to face.
Glancing at her watch, she realized it was already six in the morning. In about two hours, the company would be flooded with a group that appeared to be company bodyguards, but were actually professional killers coming to claim credit and collect their checks, along with another group of nine-to-five office workers. If she didn’t report to her boss soon, she would definitely be met with strange looks or face sarcastic treatment.
Honestly, she didn’t like this feeling. They always thought she was too inexperienced, completely unsuitable to be a hitman. “Sigh…” she let out a breath, raising her head to stare blankly at the large sign overhead that read “Gu International Group”.
The Gu Group, spanning thousands of square meters, actually had two departments. The right department was a gathering place for the assassin organization, while the left department was a legitimate business operations center. It was by accidentally entering the right department back then that she had become a female assassin today.
But, suspiciously, why would a successful and wealthy entrepreneur develop an underground assassin organization? When Mimi had once asked Gu Datong about this doubt, she learned that he had always been involved in the underworld. To avoid police investigation and pursuit, he had created the Gu Enterprise. Afterward, relying on the existence of the Gu Enterprise, the assassin organization successfully evaded police pursuit.
“Sigh…” she let out another breath. Mimi, discouraged, finally gave up her exhausting thoughts and decided to brace herself and go in before others arrived, to honestly report her mission’s failure to her boss.
Walking with unsteady ste
However, this underground love affair did not last long before it was exposed. To win back her husband’s heart, his wife threatened suicide in a fit of rage. Although the boss deeply loved his mother, he could not bear to ignore his wife; but on the other hand, he could not let go of the woman he loved, because he loved his mother too much. The mother dared not have any extravagant hopes, solely because of her deep love for the boss. Seeing the boss’s wife threaten suicide, the mother did not want the tragedy to continue, so she voluntarily withdrew from this complex and difficult love triangle.
The boss was grief-stricken at losing his lover, and his mood could not be calmed for a while. He then left Taiwan with his wife and children, leaving this sorrowful place. The mother spent her days in grief, almost wanting to end her life several times. Fortunately, her father appeared in time, not only helping her walk out of her emotional pain but also proposing to her. Moved by her father’s sincerity, the mother agreed to marry him.
But heaven always loves to play tricks on people. Shortly after giving birth to her child, her father died in a car accident. The mother was thus widowed, and she and her daughter lived in poverty for years. Many years later, the boss returned to Taiwan and reunited with the mother. The former lovers were extremely excited, and their buried love was instantly reignited. Since his wife had passed away and he wanted to make up for past regrets, he proposed to the mother. However, the mother fell ill at this time and, believing she could not bring him happiness, rejected the boss’s affections.
That year, Mimi was sixteen, which was only two years ago from now.
She clearly remembered her mother’s every last words, and the boss’s sorrowful expression of losing a loved one… Her mother’s last words were to seek refuge with the boss. She did seek refuge, and because of that, she discovered the boss’s secret… “Failure is failure, a fact that no one can change. You must admit failure and learn the principles of success from it.” The boss spoke sternly. “Now you should understand why I wouldn’t assign tasks to you, right? Because your marksmanship is not yet mature, and your courage is not either. In my eyes, you are still just a little girl! Mimi.” She lowered her head, not knowing how to live through the days ahead. “But, I’m already eighteen years old, and I really want to earn money by my own ability. I can’t let the boss support me for life. The road ahead is still long.” “Mimi, you are already a member of the organization. Although you won’t receive a high salary, I will still ensure you have no worries about food and shelter. Why the rush to earn big money?” “But, boss, I don’t want to take your money anymore. I really want to earn money with my own hands and not be looked down upon by other assassins! Boss, can you give me one more chance?” “No.” He said authoritatively. “Boss, actually, the reason my mission failed is not just my fault. You are to blame too! The data you provided was completely incorrect! You didn’t tell me that Gu Shao Xiong had a son!” “I almost accidentally killed his son—!”
