In the underground parking lot, Hua Shangxiang held her "spoils" in both hands as she approached a yellow Lamborghini, using her electronic key fob to unlock the car door from a distance. She walked over, opened the door, and sat down inside.
Just as she placed her "spoils" on the passenger seat, she noticed a man sitting in the back of the car.
The man was smiling at her.
"Mo Ming? How did you get in here?" Hua Shangxiang asked, slightly startled, her expression quickly shifting to one of anger.
"Of course, I came in through the door," Mo Ming replied, still smiling at Hua Shangxiang. "Did you think I had the ability to walk through walls?"
"I know you came in through the door!" Hua Shangxiang felt herself getting furious and rolled her eyes. "What I mean is, how did you unlock my car door to get in? You should understand what I'm saying."
"Understood," Mo Ming nodded seriously. "But does it really matter how I got in? If it's important, I can recount every detail of the process to you, Flower President. However, that might involve a lot of knowledge and take quite some time. If you don't mind, we could go to your place and discuss it properly."
"I don't like having men in my house," Hua Shangxiang said bluntly. "Now tell me, after causing chaos in Sanpan City last night, what do you want to talk to me about today?"
"It's fine if you don't like men entering your home; my place is open to all women. If you don't mind..." Mo Ming interrupted her, leaning closer to Hua Shangxiang's neck and lightly inhaling her perfume.
Hua Shangxiang instinctively stepped back and glared at Mo Ming. "Stop with the nonsense! What do you really want from me?"
"Of course I have something to discuss; otherwise, I wouldn't dare approach Flower President," Mo Ming straightened up, a victorious expression on his face.
Even though there were three beautiful flowers at home, Mo Ming couldn't resist teasing a wildflower by the roadside. Moreover, since their last encounter when Hua Shangxiang had looked down on him, he felt compelled to tease her again to satisfy his wounded "rogue spirit."
"Just get to the point; I don't have time for idle chatter," Hua Shangxiang said, feeling a bit annoyed after realizing she had been played by Mo Ming. However, she didn't show it on her face and instead smiled, "Your head is worth quite a bit now. How much do you think I would get if I told Yin Jiu?"
"Hahaha... I don't know how much Yin Jiu would give you; after all, Yin Jiu isn't exactly wealthy. But if you were to hand my head over to another organization, I can guarantee you wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of your life," Mo Ming replied with a humorous smile, fully aware that Hua Shangxiang wouldn't actually do that.
Mo Ming didn't understand the relationship between Hua Shangxiang and Mourning Lion; he only knew from their last encounter that Mourning Lion absolutely trusted Hua Shangxiang.
"I don't believe you," Hua Shangxiang said, suddenly curious about Mo Ming and scrutinizing him closely.
Mo Ming crossed his arms protectively over his chest, feigning fear. "What are you planning, Flower President? I'm not someone who can be easily intimidated... But if you insist on using violence, then I have no way to stop you."
"..." Hua Shangxiang remained silent.
"Actually, even if I'm not someone who can be easily intimidated, if you want to use violence against me, I would still enjoy it," Mo Ming said with a chuckle. "After all, with your looks, Flower President, I wouldn't be losing out. The violence you use would surely be gentle in my eyes."
Shameless—absolutely shameless!
Who wants to use violence against you?
"Stop! You're overthinking this!" Hua Shangxiang thought about smashing her head against a wall. She could swear that she had no interest whatsoever in Mo Ming, this capable man.
When she was examining Mo Ming earlier, it was merely to convey that he was worth far less than the world-renowned Duck King, let alone that his head would be enough for her to live on for a lifetime.
Of course, Hua Shangxiang also intended to mock Mo Ming a bit; after all, she was well aware of the influence of the title "Asura" in the world and had no doubt that Mo Ming's head was worth enough for her to spend a lifetime.
"I have no interest in men!" Hua Shangxiang said with an annoyed eye roll.
"Are you interested in women?" Mo Ming was greatly surprised.
Hua Shangxiang, the headstrong woman, had countless charms. Mo Ming found it hard to associate her with the character Thirteen Sister from XG Island's filming of Gangster. In his eyes, beautiful women should like men, especially capable men like himself.
"This is my private matter and has nothing to do with you," Hua Shangxiang refused to answer, instead saying, "I have no interest in you at all, so you can rest assured."
"I don't believe it." Mo Ming found it quite amusing and chuckled, "Then why were you looking at me so closely just now?"
"Okay," Hua Shangxiang conceded. "I can explain this. The reason I was looking at you wasn't as sordid as you think..."
"I wasn't thinking anything," Mo Ming interrupted, continuing to smile at Hua Shangxiang. "Is it that you're overthinking things, Flower President?"
"Shut up, Shura!" Hua Shangxiang felt like her lungs were about to explode. She finally understood what kind of person the young man in front of her was.
A rogue, a shameless rogue.
"Don't get angry; it's easy to get crow's feet..."
Seeing the look in Hua Shangxiang's eyes that seemed to want to torture him a thousand times over and then tear him apart without any satisfaction, Mo Ming raised his hands, a faint smile flashing across his face.
Hua Shangxiang felt like she was about to be driven mad by Mo Ming. For a moment, she didn't know what to say next. After hesitating for a long time, she finally regained her composure and looked at Mo Ming, who was blinking at her, and said irritably, "What do you want from me? You can tell me now!"
"Say it!" Hua Shangxiang watched as Mo Ming gestured with his hands, indicating that since she told him to shut up earlier, he would really keep quiet.
"I'm really suffocating here," Mo Ming sighed deeply and said to Hua Shangxiang, "When Flower President tells me to shut up, I really shut up. From this, you can see how much respect I have for you..."
"Enough!!!" Hua Shangxiang was about to go crazy, roaring with anger on her small face. "Get to the point! If you keep messing around with me, I swear I'll throw you out of the car!"
"Take me to find Mourning Lion," Mo Ming said, retracting his playful expression and becoming serious.
Hua Shangxiang was momentarily taken aback by Mo Ming's sudden change in demeanor. After a brief pause, she furrowed her brows and asked, "What do you want with him? He was attacked last night and said it was you. Is that true?"
"Heh heh. Lion Brother is quite clever; he guessed it was me right away," Mo Ming chuckled. "Alright, Flower President, stop looking at me with such hatred. Lion Brother knows I was the one who attacked him, yet he didn’t take care of me before you saw me. That shows the attack didn’t create a grudge between us."
"I really want to kill you," Hua Shangxiang said venomously. "If anything happens to him, I won't let you off the hook. Believe me, a woman's words can be much more terrifying than a man's."
"Of course, I fully understand that," Mo Ming replied with a faint smile. "With my marksmanship, if I wanted him dead, he wouldn’t have survived this long. My attack on him was actually to protect him. I don’t think Flower President is the type to be just a pretty face without brains, right?"
"You..." Hua Shangxiang was furious.
"Flower President, drive. Take me to see Lion Brother; I have important matters to discuss with him," Mo Ming interrupted her, smiling. "I know you're the only one who can find him now."
Hua Shangxiang suppressed her anger and decided not to continue talking with a rogue like Mo Ming. She feared that if she kept speaking, she might end up being teased by the rogue boy in front of her. Turning around, she started the engine and drove out of the underground parking lot.
Throughout the journey, Hua Shangxiang remained silent, and Mo Ming did not speak either.
After driving for over an hour, they arrived at the foot of a mountain.
There were roadblocks leading up to the mansion on the mountain. The guard recognized Hua Shangxiang's car and immediately opened the barrier, bowing and greeting her inside the car: "Hello, Flower President!"
Hua Shangxiang ignored the subordinate, pressed down on the accelerator, and drove straight up the mountain. Upon reaching the mansion, she stopped the car and said, "We're here," then opened the door to get out. Mo Ming followed suit and got out of the car as well.
The mansion was quite large, with several neatly dressed subordinates standing on either side of the main entrance. Mo Ming's gaze was sharp, quickly noticing a few hidden sentries around, and he couldn't help but chuckle, "It's clear that Lion Brother takes his security very seriously. Anyone daring to launch a surprise attack here would truly be seeking death."
Mourning Lion had set up numerous defensive positions here, far more fortified than those at Yang Fan's place. If someone were to forcefully attack this location, Mo Ming wouldn't dare claim he could take it without suffering significant losses. Of course, if Mo Ming intended to sneak in and assassinate Mourning Lion, all these defenses would be meaningless.
After all, someone like Mo Ming, a battle-hardened King of Soldiers, had ventured into countless perilous situations. He had infiltrated places even more secure than this one and had come and gone without difficulty.
"Those who mix in this line of work rarely neglect their own safety, especially someone like Lion Boss. He has many enemies in the underworld; if he's not careful, he wouldn't know how many times he could have been killed by them," Hua Shangxiang remarked with a snort. "Alright, let's go inside; Lion Boss is waiting for us."
Mo Ming chuckled and said nothing as he followed Hua Shangxiang inside.
"Flower President!" The two rows of subordinates bowed in unison and only straightened up after Hua Shangxiang and Mo Ming entered, returning to their posts.
"Haha... honored guests have arrived; I truly apologize for not welcoming you properly!" Just as Mo Ming stepped through the door, a hearty voice rang out.
Mourning Lion approached wearing a leopard-print robe, opened his arms to embrace Mo Ming briefly, then wrapped an arm around Mo Ming's shoulder and said, "You did brilliantly last night! I heard Black Tiger wasn't looking too good; haha, very nice indeed! The name of the Shura truly lives up to its reputation!"
