The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 543

But when Fu Wangning looked, she almost began to question life itself.

Because what she saw was not Jiang Moxi’s body riddled like a hornet’s nest, but mercenaries scattered all over the ground.

They lay motionless, each with a bloody hole in the center of their forehead...

Fu Wangning screamed in fright, "No!"

What on earth was happening?

Just now, she clearly saw those mercenaries pointing their guns at Jiang Moxi, how could they all be dead in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that Jiang Moxi was also skilled with firearms?

Just as Fu Wangning tried to dismiss this assumption, something hard suddenly jabbed the back of her head.

Fu Wangning turned around sharply, only to see the dark muzzle of a gun.

Following the barrel upwards, she saw Jiang Moxi holding that gun, her lips slightly upturned into a smirk.

"Fu Wangning, regretting now?"

Fu Wangning felt her heartbeat skip several beats.

Even though Jiang Moxi looked strikingly gallant and stunning with a gun in hand, in her eyes, she was no different from a ghastly reaper from hell.

"You, how can you be skilled with firearms?"

Fu Wangning was nearly ashen-faced, unbelieving that there exist such a versatile person in the world, someone who could excel in everything they learned.

"It’s not that difficult, just learn and you’ll know," said Jiang Moxi, unimpressed.

Seeing Jiang Moxi’s seemingly casual demeanor, Fu Wangning suddenly lunged to snatch the gun from Jiang Moxi’s hand.

Yes, if Jiang Moxi could do it, she, Fu Wangning, could certainly do it too.

Fu Wangning even thought to herself that after snatching the gun, she would end Jiang Moxi with a single shot.

But the moment her hand was about to touch Jiang Moxi’s gun, Jiang Moxi swiftly used the gun to strike her forehead.

With a clang, Fu Wangning was hit until her head spun.

"Get rid of any inappropriate thoughts! Otherwise, I’ll deal with you on the spot," Jiang Moxi said.

Fu Wangning covered her head, which now formed a large bump, crying without dignity from the pain.

She simply couldn’t understand why Jiang Moxi made the seizing of a gun seem so effortless, as if it was routine, while she, Fu Wangning, had been thwarted and hit twice.

As Fu Wangning was at a loss for an explanation, another group of mercenaries burst out from the abandoned factory.

They aimed their guns at Jiang Moxi straight away.

Jiang Moxi promptly lifted up the curled-up Fu Wangning, pointing the gun at her head, and then said to the group of mercenaries, "Where’s Old John? Have him come out."

The mercenaries, upon seeing their employer’s daughter captured, immediately calmed down.

Some even hurried back into the abandoned factory to find Old John.

And soon, Old John emerged.

But at the sight of Jiang Moxi, Old John was dumbfounded.

"Dead, Dead Ghost?" Old John was frightened, his complexion changed: "How come you’re here?"

"You should ask your subordinates what they’re doing bringing me here," Jiang Moxi’s tone was cold and indifferent, sending a shiver down Old John’s spine.

He feared Dead Ghost the most.

Previously, Orion invited their Mercenary Corps to join the grand battle in Yan City to siege Dead Ghost, but he declined without hesitation.

To avoid Dead Ghost, he even moved with his subordinates to Emperor City.

Yet, these rascals ended up kidnapping Dead Ghost right into their lair.

Isn’t this like letting the wolf into the sheep pen?

Old John hastily made an apology: "Please don’t misunderstand, I’ve been a bit unwell recently, so some of the orders were taken by my subordinates. They didn’t know it was you and ended up offending you."

Old John also said: "Now half of them are dead by your hand, please calm your anger... For other compensation matters, we can sit down and talk slowly."

Jiang Moxi remained indifferent, neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, and the gun pointing at Fu Wangning’s forehead was never lowered.

But all of this made Fu Wangning feel it was incredibly surreal.

Jiang Moxi was not only skilled with guns but also seemed very familiar with the mercenaries from the underworld, and they all appeared extremely afraid of her.

What in the world was going on?

In foggy confusion, Fu Wangning heard Jiang Moxi say: "I don’t need any compensation, just make a call and have the person who wanted to kidnap me come over."

During the conversation in the car, the dialogue between Fu Wangning and the mercenary made Jiang Moxi aware that there was someone behind Fu Wangning.

Now she just wanted to cut the Gordian knot and then comfortably watch the show with Yu Dingding.

Old John nearly didn’t hesitate and nodded: "Okay, I’ll call someone over for you right away."

But his subordinate said: "Old John, this will ruin our reputation!"

Not only failing the task given by the employer but also having the employer come over to deliver their own head.

If this got out, their Old John Mercenary Corps would no longer be in business.

But no sooner had the subordinate finished speaking than Old John punched him down: "This is Dead Ghost! Last time, more than two hundred members of Orion couldn’t kill her; instead, they all died by her hands! If we don’t hand her over, we’re all going to meet God today." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

The subordinate hastily looked at Jiang Moxi.

My God, was this the notoriously murderous Dead Ghost?

But who could tell him why Dead Ghost looked so good?

As soon as he sneaked a couple of glances at Jiang Moxi, her cold, gloomy gaze fell on him.

The subordinate immediately lowered his gaze, buried his head very low, like an ostrich, afraid of once again displeasing Dead Ghost and provoking another massacre.

Then, without Old John urging him, the subordinate made the call and informed Fu Shaoquan.

"You’ve caught the person, but she says she wants to see you."

Fu Shaoquan thought, seeing her wouldn’t be an issue since he indeed wanted to preserve a few pictures of Jiang Moxi’s miserable state before death, convenient for when Fu Youhan is not under control, he could continue to pressure him.

Thus, Fu Shaoquan agreed to the meeting.

On the other side, Jiang Moxi, pushing Fu Wangning, entered the abandoned factory, and then she sat down on the couch Old John favored with utter nonchalance, as if entering her own home.

Far from getting angry, Old John fawningly asked Jiang Moxi, "Do you want some barbecue and beer?"

"I don’t like these, do you have any fruit and cookies?" Jiang Moxi asked.

"I’ll send someone to buy them right away." Old John then urged one of his subordinates to quickly head to town and buy the fruit and cookies Jiang Moxi wanted.

The subordinate was quick; he returned in ten minutes with fresh grapes and cherries, along with several types of cookies, right in front of Jiang Moxi.

Witnessing Jiang Moxi leisurely eating grapes and those mercenaries coming up very attentively, offering to give Jiang Moxi a back massage, Fu Wangning felt both anger and annoyance.

But she still had a bit of self-awareness; she understood that Jiang Moxi now controlled her life and death, so she could only try to restrain her anger and said:

"Moxi, they’ve already called the mastermind here for you, you can let me go now..."
