Tiptoeing out, Li Xin pulled the sun hat on her head down so far it almost became a mask. The ring on her hand couldn't be removed, so Li Xin took the bandage she had torn off to show her face and wrapped it tightly around her finger again, completely covering the ring.

What the hell? Did Qi Mo want her dead? His Level One order... all she did was come looking for Suixin. Did he have to be so ruthless? "Leave her alive." That meant as long as she was breathing, it was fine to beat her into a pulp. A broken arm or leg wouldn't be a problem. It was just a small matter of running off. Was it really necessary?

Sitting in her rented car, Li Xin slammed her fist on the steering wheel, which let out a loud honk, startling the pedestrians around. Speeding off wildly, Li Xin felt like crying but had no tears. She had just been distracted for a moment, how could she have been caught so coincidentally? She had hidden herself so well. The Qi family's power was simply monstrous, too fast.

She didn't know that her luck was just that bad. Qi Mo had returned the very night she left. The Qi family servants didn't dare to question her whereabouts, but that didn't mean Qi Mo wouldn't ask. The moment he returned and found her gone, and with Bai Ying being a master of the computer room, plus the fact that the Qi family's intelligence was never transmitted through a single channel—a fact the lazy Li Xin didn't know—Bai Ying found her out directly. This made Qi Mo's face turn very ugly.

And to make matters worse, she had dared to turn off her communicator. Qi Mo couldn't help but be furious. So, naturally, before she even arrived in Hong Kong, Qi Mo's order had already been issued.

It was hard to say whether Li Xin was smart or stupid to the point of death. She had thought of everything, even avoiding the Qi family's private jet and changing her appearance to rush over, only to lose at the starting line.

Hesitation, thought, more hesitation, more thought. After considering it back and forth for a long time, Li Xin finally decided it was better to face the music sooner rather than later. Admitting her mistake early was the only way to get by with Qi Mo. Since she couldn't deceive him, she had to repent. That was the only thing that worked with him.

Quickly opening the communication channel, before Li Xin could speak, Qi Mo's icy voice came through directly: "Come back." It carried the chill of the North Pole, freezing the summer day.

Li Xin chuckled obsequiously and called out, "Boss."

Qi Mo said in a deep voice, "I'll give you one day to appear before me. Otherwise, I'll kill her."

Hearing this, Li Xin couldn't help but grit her teeth. As she had expected, Qi Mo knew everything. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "Don't, Boss. You know I just want to find her, I don't want to do anything else. I have no intention of taking her and leaving. I said I would follow you, I won't go back on my word. She's injured now, I'm worried. Boss, let me find her, and when I come back, you can punish me however you want, okay?" Unconsciously, her tone carried a hint of pleading and coquetry.

Facing the all-knowing Qi Mo, concealment was useless. All she had wanted was a head start, and without that head start, any resistance was futile. Li Xin had witnessed the extent of Qi Mo's methods and power. If she couldn't get ahead of him, her only choice was to submit obediently.

Listening to Li Xin's low, pleading voice, Qi Mo's cold, murderous aura subsided slightly, but his tone remained as icy as ever. He said coldly, "I only say things once."

Li Xin tightened her grip on the steering wheel. Sensing that the killing intent in Qi Mo's voice had lessened, she took a deep breath and continued, "Boss, you know Suixin is very important to me. And you don't really mean to harm Suixin. Just let me find her, please?"

When Qi Mo threatened her with Suixin, she had initially thought he really meant it. But after the nearly 20-hour flight, she had a sudden realization: Qi Mo had no such intention. He didn't need to use Suixin to threaten her. Otherwise, with the Qi family's power, why would it take so long to find Suixin? Why would he only issue the lowest-level search order? Qi Mo had no such intention, or rather, he didn't care about it at all. For someone like her, what was the need for threats? If he found her pleasing to the eye and useful, he would keep her. If she was of no use to him, he would destroy her. This was not a difficult matter for Qi Mo. He had only said it offhandedly, and besides, that was her weakness, a weakness against an enemy, which Qi Mo would never let go.

Listening to Li Xin's soft words, Qi Mo's anger slowly dissipated. The fury he felt when he couldn't find her, the rage of feeling betrayed, was worn down by Li Xin's excellent attitude of admitting her mistake. He knew that Li Xin was just audacious, not treacherous. He said in a deep voice, "Come back."

Hearing Qi Mo's resolute words, Li Xin fell silent for a long time, feeling quite wronged, before giving a soft "en." Qi Mo's words were commands. She could be stubborn if she wanted, but Suixin would definitely fall into Qi Mo's hands immediately. The one who would lose out would definitely not be Qi Mo. She said aggrievedly, "Then cancel the hunt for Suixin. What if those people don't know their limits and hurt her?"

Qi Mo snorted coldly in anger. "You brought this on yourself."

Hearing Qi Mo's anger, Li Xin's suppressed temper flared up. She slammed the steering wheel and roared back at Qi Mo, "Why can't I come look for Suixin? I'm the sixth seat of the Qi family, for crying out loud. I can't even make my own decisions on such a small matter? I'm not your... Ah, what the hell?"

Before Li Xin could finish yelling at Qi Mo, she suddenly saw several entangled cars up ahead, charging madly towards her. They looked completely out of control. Li Xin hadn't noticed at first, but now she saw them, only twenty-odd meters away. Both sides were moving at an incredible speed. Li Xin's heart tightened. She quickly slammed on the brakes and wrenched the wheel to turn back.

"What is it?" Qi Mo heard the trouble on Li Xin's end and quickly asked in a deep voice.

Bang! A bullet shattered the windshield. It was stray gunfire. Li Xin's expression changed. She quickly turned the steering wheel back. The road ahead was completely blocked by three cars that were practically tangled together. There was no way through. The screech of brakes filled the air, the tires leaving white marks on the ground.

This crappy, unmodified sports car, even with the exceptionally skilled Li Xin at the wheel, couldn't evade this frenzied revenge killing and impact. The car, now sideways, was hit directly by the entangled cars from the front. Li Xin lost control and was sent flying towards the outer edge.

"Bastard." Li Xin gritted her teeth, rapidly turning the steering wheel. The crappy sports car she had rented for convenience completely hindered her skills. Pushed by the powerful force from behind, she couldn't even pick up enough speed to get away or break through.

Glancing at the cliff and beach beyond the guardrail, Li Xin's brows furrowed tightly. How did she end up driving here? It was all because she was talking to Qi Mo and not watching the road, and she didn't know the way.

The car scraped against the guardrail, sending out a shower of brilliant sparks. Behind her, she could hear gunfire that wasn't intense but was definitely threatening. Li Xin felt the car becoming increasingly uncontrollable. A gust of wind blew past, and a pungent smell drifted in through the window. Based on her senses and familiarity with cars, the fuel tank had been ruptured.

"What exactly happened? Speak." Qi Mo clearly heard the sound of the crash and gunfire on Li Xin's end. His face turned extremely grim, his tone more worried than commanding.

"Crash, fight, fuel leak, explosion," Li Xin answered Qi Mo quickly and concisely, her eyes frighteningly calm.

She had never been at such a disadvantage in a car before. She glanced at the car body, pinned tightly against the guardrail. It was impossible to open the door. She then looked at the turn up ahead. At this speed, if she was pushed into it, the only outcome was an explosion.

Without hesitation, Li Xin let go of the steering wheel and accelerator, kicked open the passenger door, completely ignoring what would happen to the now driverless car. She grabbed the roof, flipped herself up, and landed on top. On the roof of the speeding car, without a second thought, Li Xin leaped towards the beach and cliff ahead. It was the only way to escape.

Tumbling down the not-so-steep cliff, Li Xin curled herself into a tight ball to minimize injury. Before she even hit the sand, a violent explosion erupted behind her, followed by a series of explosions, one after another, putting on a unique fireworks display on the early morning beach.

"Li Xin, speak. How are you? Answer me." Amidst the violent explosions, Qi Mo's voice came through the communicator with exceptional clarity. The tension and worry were concealed beneath the icy command, but Li Xin could hear it. However, she had no time to answer him.

Pain. Rolling onto the sandy beach, Li Xin let out a slight sigh of relief. Lucky she was agile. Otherwise, after surviving all sorts of death-defying feats with Qi Mo, to die here today would be the biggest joke of all.

"Li Xin, answer me. Answer me, do you hear me?"

"I hear you." Sitting on the beach, she shook her arm, checked that she wasn't missing any parts, and replied to Qi Mo wearily.

Hearing Li Xin's reply, Qi Mo seemed to let out a sigh of relief. A lightbulb went off in Li Xin's head. She said dejectedly, "Boss, I don't think I can make it back in a day now. My whole body hurts."

No answer. Seeing Qi Mo's silence, she also remained silent. Rolling down a cliff ten or twenty meters high, of course her whole body would hurt. She wasn't lying about that.

After a long while, Qi Mo's cold voice came through. "Stay sharp." With that, he hung up. Li Xin's face lit up with joy. Qi Mo had agreed.

Gunshots. Two shots. Hearing two heavy thuds, Li Xin snapped back to reality. If she had the skill to jump down, others certainly did too. This wasn't a particularly dangerous place; a jump wouldn't be fatal. She could figure that out, and the people fighting behind her could figure it out even better.

Footsteps, crunching on the fine sand at the edge of the beach, heading towards her. Li Xin frowned. Silencing a witness? How bold. Sensing the footsteps getting closer, Li Xin suddenly flipped up and pointed her gun at the person's forehead.

Handsome. Even disheveled and covered in dirt, it couldn't hide the man's beauty. His face was currently filled with joy and surprise, without a trace of fear. Li Xin recognized the person she was pointing her gun at, frowned slightly, and said coldly, "Fang Junqi."

"I've been looking for you for a long time." Junqi was a mess, but his eyes were shining brightly.

"Li Xin, my god, it's you, it's really you." An excited voice suddenly came from behind Junqi, accompanied by the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps.

Li Xin tilted her head slightly, looking past Junqi. Two people lay on the beach, blood flowing from their bodies. The other two were walking towards her, their faces showing undisguised surprise and joy. It was Xiao Yun and Wu Sen. Li Xin let out a cold snort. She quickly put away her gun and said coldly, "Nothing good ever happens when I run into you guys."

Xiao Yun rushed up, grabbed Li Xin's hand, and exclaimed happily, "Long time no see! You're really my lucky star. Whenever I meet you, you save me from disaster. My savior!"

Li Xin glared at Xiao Yun with annoyance. Why was this person so enthusiastic? He had always been enthusiastic, but now it was over the top. She said in a deep voice, "Let go."

Xiao Yun was about to say something more enthusiastically when Junqi, who had been watching Li Xin, grabbed his hand. "Look at Li Xin's injuries. Let go of her."

Xiao Yun looked and immediately let go with an apologetic expression. "Sorry, I got you involved. Sorry." Li Xin's clothes were torn to shreds by the rocks, and some parts of her body were scraped, with blood seeping out, looking quite alarming.

Li Xin glared at Xiao Yun and said faintly, "As long as you know." With those four words, she turned to leave. Running into them was such bad luck. Nothing good before, and now they almost got her killed. A bunch of jinxes.

"Li Xin, what are you doing?" Junqi saw Li Xin turn to leave, frowned slightly, and reached out to grab her. Wu Sen, who had been silent, quickly stopped him. "Let's get out of here first." He gestured at the scene.
