Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Who is Covering Their Face and Fleeing?

"You shameless bitch, you always use the same trick when you can’t win. Can you change it up?" The short-haired woman cursed while dodging the dog’s chase.

"Then don’t dodge! Why should you care which technique I use, as long as it works?" The woman adjusted her mink coat, smirking, her eyes gleaming with triumph.

"Enough, stop." Xu Ke was tormented by the woman’s screams and the dog’s barking, and couldn’t help but growl.

"It’s useless, our little Mei only listens to me," the woman said smugly.

But then something unexpected happened. The Pomeranian stopped in its tracks under Xu Ke’s growl and fierce gaze, whimpered softly, and then hid behind the woman, looking pitiful, with no trace of its previous ferocity.

The woman’s face turned ashen in an instant.

"Hmph, scaring a dog is nothing. If you’ve got the guts, bring out the thirty-five million today," the woman said, biting her lip, unwilling to concede.

Hearing the woman’s words, the short-haired woman turned her gaze to Xu Ke with a barely perceptible plea. If possible, she also wanted to quickly get her hands on the money for the surgery.

Xu Ke saw the short-haired woman’s look and said expressionlessly, "Let’s go. Let’s get all the paperwork done today, so we don’t have to come back tomorrow."

"Thank you, thank you. I will never forget your great kindness and virtue. I will repay you someday." The short-haired woman was so choked with emotion upon hearing Xu Ke’s willingness to finish the paperwork today that a hint of color appeared on her previously pale face, looking much healthier.

"No need for words. This is just a transaction; we’re just getting what we each need," Xu Ke said flatly.

"Hmph, don’t bluff too much. It’ll be a joke if you can’t come up with the money later." The woman scoffed as she picked up the Pomeranian again, her eyes full of disdain.

Xu Ke gave the woman a cold glance and was the first to enter the elevator. The group fell into an eerie silence, and even the always muttering Pomeranian quieted down, making the atmosphere a bit oppressive.

Once outside the building, an agent took a sales contract from a colleague and looked at Xu Ke and the short-haired woman with a smile.

"The bank isn’t far from here. Let’s go there and transfer the money," Xu Ke said calmly after glancing at the sales contract and handing it to the short-haired woman beside him.

"Okay, thank you." The short-haired woman carefully put away the contract and gave Xu Ke a grateful look. Meanwhile, she was lost in her thoughts, her eyes growing brighter under her hair’s cover.

"What are you two dawdling about? The sun’s going to tan me, and who knows how many beauty treatments I’ll need to recover!" The woman rolled her eyes and walked ahead.

"Hello, how can I assist you today?" The bank employee’s smile widened upon seeing the jewel-bedecked woman.

"I’m not here for business. See that person? He’s going to transfer thirty-five million. People today, they love dreaming, boasting about anything without thinking, not worried about being embarrassed later," the woman said loudly, attracting half the hall’s attention.

As Xu Ke and the others reached the counter, looking at the onlookers.

"Are you the ones making the transfer?" The bank employee sized up Xu Ke and the short-haired woman, retracting his previous smile, now looking disdainful and impatient.

"Yes, thirty-five million." Xu Ke, accustomed to such stares, handed his usual card to the employee and coldly said, while stepping aside for the short-haired woman to hand over her card as well.

"How long will you keep this act up? Just take your card back and leave embarrassed. Or maybe you don’t care because your skin’s thick enough," the woman sneered.

At the counter, the short-haired woman saw the employee’s ghostly expression, and unconsciously, her voice tinged with unease, "What’s wrong? Can’t transfer?" she asked softly.

Even at a whisper, the woman sitting beside her heard it clearly. "Oh my god, don’t reveal the truth so quickly, it’s humiliating. If I were you, I’d run out with my face covered," the woman said, gritting her teeth at Xu Ke.

"Running out is inevitable, but who will be covering their face remains uncertain." Xu Ke smiled chillingly at the woman. "Just shut up, you’re annoyingly loud." Xu Ke frowned impatiently, retracting his smile.

The woman was about to retort when the employee’s trembling voice broke the silence. She had just registered the short-haired woman’s question, swallowing nervously before saying, "The money has been transferred."

Just as the employee finished speaking, the short-haired woman’s phone vibrated. Under everyone’s gaze, she took it out from her pocket, opened a message displaying a string of zeros, and covered her mouth in excitement, tears rolling down like a string of broken pearls.

"How could a poor guy like you have so much money? I don’t believe it. You must be tricking me," the woman’s face changed drastically, muttering in disbelief. She tried to grab the short-haired woman’s phone, but her grip was too tight, leaving her with no choice but to peer together at the zeros, her expression blank as she fell into deep self-doubt.

"I told you he didn’t look ordinary, but you didn’t believe me. Now you see, don’t you?" Nearby, two girls whispered while waiting.

"How did you notice? I didn’t see anything other than a good-looking face," the other girl remarked.

"Look closely at his clothes. If I’m not mistaken, they’re bespoke. See that craftsmanship and fabric? Must cost hundreds of thousands." The girl quietly educated her friend, but the woman heard it all.

She studied the previously dismissed attire, feeling faint, while the girls’ conversation, like larks’ songs, pierced her heart with every word, leaving her face utterly pale.
