The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!-Chapter 73: Realist Su Mo!

Leng Shuang, however, remained unmoved.

"I’ll die either way, why should I help my enemy?"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows, finding a breakthrough. "Who said anything about killing you? If the price is right. I might even let you go."

Zhang Xulin’s brow furrowed for a moment, but soon calmed down. She believed Su Mo must have his reasons for saying that; she just needed to trust him. Even Miss Yang had let him handle this matter with his personal discretion.

Leng Shuang couldn’t believe her ears for a while.

Did she hear it right? He just said he could let me go?

"Do you take me for a fool? There must be a conspiracy involved here." Leng Shuang sneered, though she hoped what Su Mo said was true.

If there’s a chance of survival, who the hell would want to die?

"Where’s the basic trust between people?" Su Mo sighed, shaking his head in disappointment. "Besides, why are you acting like this information is worth more than your life?"

"You don’t belong to any organisation, nor are you loyal to anyone. If someone is targeting Miss Yang, we could just investigate it ourselves. Asking you is only for the sake of convenience and efficiency."

Su Mo’s words and tone effectively put Leng Shuang into deep thought.

Yes, why was she struggling to keep this information a secret?

Besides, there was no such bounty in the first place. The one she was targeting was never the Yang Heiress, but Su Mo himself.

After her death, who would care about that? Everything started because her payment was revoked. However, if there’s no life, what’s the point of having money or not?

In addition, Su Mo’s involvement in the money fraud is still unknown.

Leng Shuang had considered several things in her mind. In the end, her decision leaned more towards accepting whatever deal Su Mo had and leaving this damn place.

The only thing that made her unsure was what Su Mo’s reaction would be after learning that her target was him.

"Fine, I’ll answer." In the end, she gritted her teeth and bet on being honest. "My target was never the Yang Heiress but rather you, Su Mo."

Upon hearing this unexpected answer from her, Su Mo was shocked and confused. While Zhang Xulin’s eyes widened, then, as if she realised something, her expression became grim.

"Su Mo, could it be your old enemies targeting you?’

Given his past story, which Su Mo had deceived her with. Zhang Xulin believed that while Su Mo was training with his master in the mountains, he might have made some enemies. Or maybe they are his master’s old enemies targeting him.

What confused her was why those enemies of his would stupidly send some assassins who don’t even know cultivation to attack him. Do they underestimate him so much?

Su Mo, who had confusion written on his face, looked at her, speechless.

’What old enemies? Hell, I only know a few people in this world. Okay!’

He immediately clarified. "No, I don’t have any past enemies." Then suggested. "Could it be one of Miss Yang’s pursuers? They might be jealous of my handsome looks and want to eliminate me?"

Zhang Xulin rolled her eyes at his narcissism. Just with his cocky mouth, who knows how many people he had offended?

"Whatever, since this attack had nothing to do with Miss Yang. I’m going back; you deal with your matters."

She immediately lost all interest as she started leaving.

"Hey! Maybe you could show a little concern. Your colleague here is being targeted by killers." Su Mo said, pretending to feel hurt by Sister Xulin’s indifference.

Zhang Xulin didn’t even bother to turn around. She just waved her hand and said, "As if they could even leave a scratch on your skin."

Leng Shuang was looking at everything happening in front of her with curiosity and confusion.

Why did that woman leave? Old enemies? Master?

Can’t the killers hurt him? What a joke!

However, with that woman who had the same strength as her gone, she was relieved.

As for Su Mo, she felt no pressure from him from beginning to end. In her eyes, he was just an ordinary person.

For that reason, her gaze toward him became full of contempt and disdain.

"Now then, why would you target me, Miss Leng? I don’t believe we’ve had any intersection before."

Though Su Mo showed confusion on his face. Inwardly, he was wondering if Leng Shuang had found out that he had tricked her by switching the scapegoat at the last moment. Hitting two birds with one stone. Saving the innocent Dong Xumao and sending the detestable Ye Chen to jail.

"No intersection?" Leng Shuang’s gaze turned icy as she snapped. "You all tricked me!"

’Sure enough, she knows. But what does she mean by all? Is she blaming Miss Yang and Sister Xulin, too?’

Su Mo felt that even if that were the case. It’s not that big a deal for Leng Shuang to target him. Does she feel humiliated that a genius assassin like her was manipulated by me?

Leng Shuang’s fierce eyes stared at Su Mo, searching for guilt, as she continued. "Wang Cai is already dead! Even if my revenge stays incomplete, I’ve at least dealt with one of you cockroaches."

"I believe one day! There will be another exploited worker like me out there. Who would put an end to you all, blood-sucking capitalists!"

"Huh...?!"

Su Mo felt his brain stop working for a moment. ’The heck is she talking about?’

"Wang Cai is dead? What does that have to do with me? And what capitalist? I’m just an ordinary salary worker."

"Liar! You own the Ankang Biotech now!"

Su Mo realised. ’So that’s it. I understand. Ankang Biotech was owned by Wang Cai before. He is dead now. The 65% shares the system gave me must be from Wang Cai’s stake. Were they taken before he got killed by Leng Shuang?’

’What a mess you have left behind for me, system!’
