Chapter 99: Chapters 99-100, how do you think I did?

After Mo Hongbei left, Fang Yi handed over the Black Water Alliance Token and the keys to Bai Jingjing.

Bai Jingjing, utterly shocked, held the Token and keys, looking at the man before her and said, "You... really just gave these to me?"

Fang Yi smiled and said, "I keep my word. If I say everything goes to you, everything goes to you."

Bai Jingjing was rendered speechless. Deep down, she knew that the success in wiping out the Black Water Alliance across cities was heavily due to this man’s efforts. Without him, none of this would have been conceivable.

If it had been someone else, they might have turned their face and rejected outright, since the stakes were so high. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

Yet, it was precisely this man who showed no temptation.

Bai Jingjing, not one to play coy, took the Token and keys, then instructed the White Tiger Alliance gang members to search the entire villa. The Black Water Alliance Token could summon and command all the Black Water Alliance gang members, and the keys represented the entire wealth of the Alliance. Bai Jingjing had them search the villa for the safe.

Lin Shang slowly approached, a cigarette hanging from his mouth, and offered one to Fang Yi.

"’Military God’ cigarettes, where did you get these?" Fang Yi asked while lighting up the cigarette.

"Bought them."

Lin Shang, watching Bai Jingjing busily enter the villa, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "This is another one of your schemes, isn’t it?"

Fang Yi’s face turned slightly red as he replied, "How can you tell it’s a scheme? I’m just keeping promises, not being untrustworthy."

Lin Shang turned his head to look at Fang Yi, giving him a peculiar look. "Given the situation just now, even if you weren’t trustworthy and took over the Black Water Alliance entirely, she probably wouldn’t have said anything. But you, this guy, just had to hand over the Alliance. I think this woman must think even more highly of you now, playing hard to get? I must say, you played it well; it really suits your style."

Fang Yi said, "I never thought about playing hard to get. Anyway, interpret it however you want. By the way... what are you really doing here in Xuan Cang? It can’t just be to find me."

"I’m being hunted."

Fang Yi, with a curious goofy smile, raised his eyebrows and asked, "By whom?"

"Hell."

Fang Yi burst out laughing, his laughter full of schadenfreude, "Ha ha, who would have thought, you too are being chased by Hell. Quick, tell me, why does Hell want to chase you?"

Lin Shang looked at him expressionlessly, fell silent for a moment, then said, "You remember old Sorin’s daughter, don’t you?"

Fang Yi’s eyes grew even stranger, "I remember,"

Lin Shang said, "She wanted to sleep with me, but I refused."

"Hahahaha!!!"

Fang Yi couldn’t hold back, bursting into laughter, the mockery powerful and unreserved. However, just as Fang Yi reached the peak of his mirth, Lin Shang suddenly added in a haunting tone.

"It’s not just me old Sorin’s after, but you too."

"What the fuck!" Fang Yi’s laughter stopped abruptly, staring at Lin Shang. "I came to Xuan Cang and nobody knew."

"That might have been true before, but now someone knows."

Lin Shang’s expression remained unchanged, yet his eyes couldn’t hide his pleasure at Fang Yi’s misfortune, "And it’s not just old Sorin who knows, other major underground organizations also know you are in Xuan Cang, so, you laughed a bit too soon."

At this point, Lin Shang shamelessly laughed.

Fang Yi was speechless.

...

Bai Jingjing quickly found the safe inside the villa, inside of which were the Black Water Alliance’s accounts, land deeds, and other contracts. Bai Jingjing had taken everything.

Then, Bai Jingjing commanded her men to drive the big trucks parked around the villa away, then to clean up the scene.

"With this job done, when do we head back?" Bai Jingjing asked.

"We can go back tonight," Fang Yi replied.

Bai Jingjing nodded; she needed to get Meng Wei back for treatment soon, but she soon noticed the tied-up Ren Hao and asked, "What about him? What do you plan to do?"

Fang Yi glanced at Ren Hao, the hostage, and said, "Once we reach Moon City, just hand him over to me." This hostage could be of great use; he definitely needed to be leveraged effectively.

Bai Jingjing arranged for a minivan rental, and they hurried back to Moon City overnight.

Lin Shang drove while Meng Wei lay in the van, having already fallen into a deep sleep. Fang Yi and Bai Jingjing sat in the backseat.

"Let me see your wound," Bai Jingjing suddenly said.

Fang Yi lifted his injured left hand. "Go ahead, I don’t mind."

Bai Jingjing gave him a look that clearly said, ’as if you have a choice.’

Despite her assertive demeanor, Bai Jingjing gently lifted Fang Yi’s injured left hand, carefully avoiding the wound.

"Does it hurt?" she asked.

"It hurts a bit." Fang Yi joked. "Maybe a kiss from you would make it better."

"Really?"

Bai Jingjing actually took it seriously and leaned over, pressing her lips to Fang Yi’s left hand.

Fang Yi couldn’t figure out what was going on in this woman’s mind. He sighed helplessly in his heart when suddenly, he spotted a faint floral pattern on Bai Jingjing’s right shoulder.

...

A peony! It was actually a peony!

Could this woman be...

Fang Yi was emotionally stirred and could not calm himself.

In this vast world, Fang Yi had thought it almost impossible to find such a rare beauty in the sea of people. Yet here, far in the distance yet so close at hand, a famed bloom resided on Bai Jingjing — could this mean...

If there was a famed bloom, did that signify hope for curing his illness?

How ironic it was to search so hard only to find what he needed effortlessly!

Fang Yi stared at Bai Jingjing’s delicate shoulder adorned with the peony, drooling almost, looking like an obsessed fool. His eyes were glued to her shoulder and didn’t move an inch. At that moment, Bai Jingjing naturally noticed.

Bai Jingjing abruptly turned her head and saw Fang Yi’s foolish expression. She frowned, her face turned cold, and said, "What are you looking at!"

"I’m looking at your shoulder," Fang Yi honestly replied.

"What’s so interesting about my shoulder!" Bai Jingjing’s ears were slightly red.

"There’s a flower on your shoulder," Fang Yi added.

Bai Jingjing abruptly let go of Fang Yi’s left hand, and in doing so, was a bit rough. Fang Yi winced in pain but still kept his fiery gaze fixed on her shoulder, unable to look away.

Bai Jingjing’s cheeks turned pink, seeing his foolish, unrelenting stare. She couldn’t help but scold, "Are you still looking! Do you have a special fetish for women’s shoulders or something!"

"That’s right," Lin Shang driving the van couldn’t help but interject: "Guy likes women’s shoulders, definitely a pervert."

Fang Yi kicked the driver’s seat, "Can’t you just stay quiet!"

After that, Fang Yi’s gaze remained intensely on Bai Jingjing, making her quite uncomfortable.

"Can you...not look at me like that...please?" Thinking about how Fang Yi had risked grabbing a knife with his bare hands for her, Bai Jingjing’s voice softened.

"Sure, I can, but first answer me one question," Fang Yi said earnestly.

"What?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"No."

Bai Jingjing was speechless, puzzled as to why he would suddenly ask this. And the next comment almost made her want to kick him out of the van.

Fang Yi looked coy as if extremely shy and said, "What do you think about me?"
