Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Xue Ming
“If you want to make a report, go ahead, I’ll bear any punishnt from the Master.”
“Xue’er, I’m not the kind of person who would kick soone when they’re down. Hearing you say this really makes sad,” Lii chuckled. The two won, one extrely alluring, the other cold and cruel; one makes you want to jump on her, yet the other makes you shiver and refuse to approach, are completely opposite in character.
“Then what do you want?”
“The Master sent you to the East Sea, probably to oversee and ensure the security of the HST project, and if there’s anything else, it’s no more than having Boss Xing cooperate with you on so intelligence tasks.” Lii took a step towards Lord Xue, speaking gently.
“So what?”
“Actually the two of us can completely cooperate, what do you think?” Lii shifted her gaze, suddenly suggesting cooperation, which seed to be beyond Lord Xue’s expectations.
“Since you and I are both among the four leaders of the Shadow Organization, you should know that the tasks are always completed independently by each leader. There’s never been a task done by two leaders together.”
Lii caught the implication; Lord Xue seed unwilling to team up with her. Shadow Organization’s tasks are notoriously secretive, always assigned by the Master. To prevent leaks, each task is handed and executed by one leader only, making the four leaders completely independent.
On another note, even if the task isn’t simple, it’s given to just one leader, reflecting the strong capability among the four leaders known as “Wind, Flower, Snow, Moon.” Among them is the person called “Lord Xue,” nad “Xue Ming,” whose character matches her na—cold and proud. Now Lii voluntarily brings up cooperation with Xue Ming. If she agrees, it implies Xue Ming needs Lii’s help or rather mutually, signifying that Xue Ming might lack the ability to complete the task alone. With her proud and arrogant character, surely she can’t accept this from the heart.
“So you’re unwilling, huh?” Lii said sullenly.
“Humph.” Xue Ming turned away, no longer looking at Lii; her aning was clear.
“If the Master already agrees, would you be willing?”
“What did you say, the Master actually agreed, how is that possible?” Xue Ming seed to hear incredibly shocking news, her dark expression finally showing a bit of shock.
“Xue’er, if we cooperate, our task could be completed, and you should understand, whether it’s the National Security Bureau or the Netherworld Palace, they’re both keeping a close watch on the HST project. If anything goes wrong…”
“The Netherworld Palace isn’t a Huaxia organization, how could they obsess over the HST project, and as for the National Security Bureau, if they don’t get a clue, they won’t investigate here either.”
“But even the Netherworld King is involved now, the Netherworld Palace is bound to give it their all. If they pass the clue to the National Security Bureau, then…”
“That’s absolutely impossible.” Xue Ming suddenly stood up vigorously, shouting.
“Clearly the Netherworld King is the Master’s…”
“Xue’er, don’t say another word.” As Xue Ming was about to speak further, Lii suddenly changed her attitude, angrily shouted.
“Humph, won’t say it then.” Xue Ming was surprised by Lii’s sudden anger, and yet a trace of panic flickered through her; this was the first ti she’d seen Lii so furious.
“In that case, let’s connect our tasks later.” After Lii’s anger passed, she coldly left this sentence behind and went away.

East Sea.
“Let go.” Gu Xin struggled free from the strong arms of two big n beside her, wanting to leave but was stopped. With no choice, she sat back on the sofa.
“Welco, Lord Hua.” At this mont, the door was suddenly opened, and Gu Xin instinctively stood up, wanting to dash out during the opening, but her steps halted upon seeing the visitor.
“I hear from the guards that you’re quite restless.” Lii stepped in with high heels, slowly walking to Gu Xin’s side.
“What on earth do you want, and what are you having Gu Li do?” Gu Xin’s face didn’t look good; she’d been restrained, looking depressed. Furthermore, Ghost had been taken elsewhere; she desperately wanted to know what Lii had Ghost doing.
However, Gu Xin clearly understood, Lii captured her to coerce Ghost, which only made her worry more. With Ghost’s character, for Gu Xin’s safety, he would do even the most excessive things.
“That’s nothing for you to worry about, but rest assured, once it’s done, Ghost, oh no, Gu Li, and you can live together safely.” Lii shifted her tone, “Perhaps Lady Gu isn’t aware yet, it’s about Gu Li’s identity before he lost his mory.”
“Why should I care about that?” Gu Xin turned away coldly.
“You just heard, his na is ‘Ghost.’ Aren’t you curious why he’s called that?” Lii slowly walked over, placing her hand on Gu Xin’s shoulder.
“The person I love is him now, whether he was a butcher before, a farr, or even a beggar, it doesn’t matter to .”
“What if he was a demon who killed without blinking, whose death count can’t be counted on both hands?” As Lii finished, she sharply sensed Gu Xin’s body tremble. Indeed, at the ntion of ‘death count,’ a flutter arose in Gu Xin’s heart; for Huaxia people, ‘murder’ was heinous, bringing great sin. Knowing the truth, Lii didn’t believe Gu Xin would continue loving Ghost the sa way.
“So, Lady Gu, want to hear my perspective on him?”
“Report.” Suddenly, a waiter ca over, interrupting Lii’s words.
“What’s the matter?” Lii’s face showed displeasure; she was just about to break Gu Xin’s psychological defenses, but an urgent matter arose.
“Soone is outside, requesting… to see the Master.”
“What, how could anyone know about this place?” Lii furrowed her brow deeply, looking serious. This location was a secret; nobody should know about it unless… it was soone sent by Xue Ming.
“Bring him in.”
“Yes.”
Five minutes later.
“Xin’er, are you okay?” A familiar voice caused Gu Xin to turn impulsively, staring into the eyes of the visitor, crying with a choked voice, red-eyed, rushing forward to hug the person tightly.
“How did you find this place?” Lii questioned, as the visitor turned out to be Ghost, which surprised her. How did Ghost know about this location?
