Chapter 212 -212: The Taboo Between Mother and Daughter

The woman kneeling on the ground had her pupils dilate.

She looked at Lu Xining in disbelief, unable to understand how she knew about the ambush.

Lu Xining had precisely targeted the woman’s knees with her throws.

As the woman knelt, the embedded objects went deeper, causing her pain once again.

Lu Xining of course knew what she was wondering.

“I’ve seen plenty of women pretending to be weak around me, green tea, red tea, black tea, you name it. Your acting skills are just not up to par, far too fake.”

Having dealt with the feigned frail woman, Lu Xining turned her gaze to the other two women.

She blew on the slightly heated muzzle of her pistol, curved her lips into a cold smirk, and reminded them, “The door is right there, and you only have one chance to leave.”

The man trapped by his limbs on the bed roared at the two women, threatening that if they dared to leave, he would hunt them down across the world!

Lu Xining said, “You’re too noisy.”

Bang.

The smoking spot was merely five centimeters away from his vulnerable point, nearly crippling him with just a slight move.

The most disgusting aspect of the Underground Black City was not the consolidation of land power but the endless torture inflicted on the human body.

Last night was the annual carnage day of the Underground Black City.

They would indulge in drinking, consume intoxicating substances, followed by a day and night of deep sleep.

Lu Xining arrived straight from the airport, not pausing for a moment, targeting this period while they were still lost in their revelry, catching them off guard.

Just in case, she brought extra men and weapons.

Fortunately, everything was under control so far.

“Teach this gentleman a lesson he won’t forget.”

The crisp, pleasant sound of snapping echoed as four beauties fiercely shattered the man’s limbs with their knees, contorting his face in agony.

She had drugs that could paralyze a person, but she didn’t want to let this man off so easily.

Conscious pain was more deterrent.

Stunned and unable to react in time, the two women exchanged looks, quickly got off the bed, changed their clothes, and glanced hesitantly and cautiously towards the door, wary of the truth in Lu Xining’s words.

Country C was Fu Junhang’s base of operations.

With him around, Lu Xining could do as she pleased here.

She walked over to the woman still kneeling on the ground, slightly bent down, grasped her chin, and closely examined her features and expression.

Nothing remarkable.

Lu Xining looked at her with a half-smile, asking, “With such poor skills, hands shaking, you’re not an assassin trained by the ruthless Underground Black City, then… why did you suddenly strike at me?”

Yes, it was sudden.

Or rather, a spontaneous decision.

The woman’s eyes darted away, her face pale, and although her face was small, it looked frail, as if she had been through a severe illness; she continuously avoided Lu Xining’s gaze.

Lu Xining, however, didn’t give her a chance to dodge.

Her gaze was sharp, her voice cold, “If I’m not wrong, you decided to attack after seeing my face, didn’t you?”

“Does my face, pose a threat to you?”

As soon as she said this, the woman’s body trembled violently, as if struck by a realization.

Lu Xining somewhat disinterestedly released the woman’s chin.

She couldn’t help thinking about the man in the cage, whose eyes were too beautiful for his other features.

Just now, all the white victims in the cage had escaped, but he remained sitting there.

Perhaps…

He had come for this woman?

Lu Xining wasn’t much interested in the Underground Black City; although it was well-constructed, it was too peripheral.

It wasn’t suitable for growing herbs.

It was also far from the ZN laboratory.

To her, it really wasn’t very useful.

The man on the bed had once worked under Fu Junhang’s adoptive father but had betrayed him.

This chapter is updated by freēwēbnovel.com.

His adoptive father had even had two of his fingers chopped off.

She handed him over to Fu Junhang to clean house and then left with the remaining people.

Before leaving, she dropped a little something in the room.

As she passed by the cage, she glanced in as if compelled, and sure enough, the plain man was no longer there.

Lu Xining had kept an eye on it.

Jing Zheng had already been escorted back to the lab.

Lu Xining waited by the door for a while, waiting for Fu Junhang to return before heading back to the laboratory together.

On the way back.

The anticipated voice transmitted from the phone.

“Mr. Shang, the lady’s both knees are injured, if not removed promptly, she might have difficulty walking in the future.”

“Brother Lvxing, woo woo woo, it hurts so much.”

Lu Xining didn’t hear the man’s response, as the thing she had left there had already been trampled by the man.

She wasn’t surprised by this.

That man’s presence was shivering like a blade, resembling a leopard in the forest, but also subtly exuding a noble air only wealthy families possess.

Mr. Shang?

Brother Lvxing?

…Beicheng Family’s Shang Lvxing?

Lu Xining rubbed her fingertips, still reminiscing the odd texture of the man’s facial skin, which barely felt human.

A mask of prosthetics?

Jingzhou Ji Family, Beicheng Family, each dominating from the north to the south, held absolute control over the domestic economic life force.

To her knowledge, Shang Lvxing’s appearance was as extraordinarily handsome as Ji Muye, which seemed fitting only for those eyes.

But that woman was… Shang Yueling?

The Shang Family had just reclaimed their daughter lost for over two decades, shouldn’t they cherish her immensely?

Why would she appear in the Underground Black City across the ocean?

Questions clustered in her mind.

Previously, Song Henian had mentioned to her that the Beicheng Family was also searching for the Seven-star Reviving Herb, though whether they had found it was unknown.

Ji Muye had also made it clear, the Shang Family dominated the north, close to the centre of power, and Shang Lvxing, with brutal methods, brewing nothing but lethal schemes beneath his calm exterior.

Shang Lvxing…

Half in business, half in power.

And most adept in strategies.

He had once infiltrated and dismantled the largest underground syndicate in the north, establishing his legendary reputation in one fell swoop.

Lu Xining couldn’t help but internally speculate, if she considered the basest of motives, was it merely coincidence that Shang Lvxing rescued Jing Zheng, or had he deliberately had him knocked out and then delivered?

All of this seemed unrelated.

Yet Lu Xining never believed such coincidences existed in the world.

Motive, needed to be questioned.

Lu Xining brooded inwardly, hoping her thoughts were too sinister.

If this was indeed a trap Shang Lvxing set for Jing Zheng, no matter what his purposes were, no matter if he was the heir of Beicheng Family or from East City, West City, she would definitely make him pay.

On the other side, Shang Yueling, crying and reaching out wanting to be held by Shang Lvxing, received no response from the man.

Shang Lvxing, holding a small item he found in the room, narrowed his eyes in deep thought, the object looking like a child’s toy.

He pocketed the item before finally turning his attention back to Shang Yueling.

“Didn’t I instruct you to act vulnerable here, to ask her to take you back to the ZN lab? What did you do, upset her?”

Shang Yueling, feeling guilty and anxious, replied, “I didn’t upset her, I did nothing, she’s just an irrational maniac, attacked people the moment she entered, I just looked at her and she struck me, I, I, I…”

“Brother Lvxing, did you see her?”

She was a bit scared Shang Lvxing had seen Lu Xining’s face.

The elite circles of Jingzhou and Beicheng were not interconnected.

Jingzhou valued wealth, Beicheng pursued power.

Everyone preferred interacting within their own city’s elite circles, somewhat rejecting outsiders.

Shang Lvxing, reminded of Lu Xining’s face, appeared pensive.

“This does not concern you.”

He told the doctor, “Leave the rest to you.”

Shang Lvxing never understood why, even though the ZN lab accepted donations from even the smallest households, it immediately refused upon hearing the Beicheng Family’s name.

Whether it was money or any terms.

The response was consistently a flat refusal.

It was as if the Beicheng Family was blacklisted at the very top on their undesirable list.

Back at the ZN lab, Lu Xining went to wash up and change her clothes, trying to rid herself of the bloodstains that made her uncomfortable.

Warm shower water cascaded from head to foot.

Lu Xining, eyes closed, tilted her head back, letting the water run down her face, her mother’s image and words surfaced in her mind.

The Beicheng Family, was their mother-daughter duo’s taboo.

Not to be mentioned, seen, or contacted!

Because it would lead to misfortune.

Lu Xining had never asked her mother why, but today upon seeing Shang Lvxing, she suddenly remembered another significant matter.
