217: A stinky research

A stinky research

0" W…Who did this?" Lian Shou screamed while sitting on the ground, next to her, Chu Ling already summoned her mecha arm with her core activated. She was holding a long sword staring at the burning rubble of the mecha craft and waiting for the culprit to step out. 

" What do you mean who did this ?" Mo Qiang stepped out of the grayish smoke billowing around the mecha craft which was still burning and then looked down at Lian Shou.  " You were running away without paying, shouldn't we stop you? If you got in the craft and left, were you expecting us to give you a chase? That's too much hard work you know." With her hands in the pockets of her pants, Mo Qiang came to a stop in front of Lian Shou.

A bad premonition rose in Lian Shou's heart as she scrambled back on her arms and feet before asking Mo Qiang while trying to pretend that she was calm and not scared, " W…What? What payment? And who are you? Do you even know that attacking someone can bring you a lot of trouble? You will be sent to jail if I were to complain." 

"Ooooh," Mo Qiang nodded after hearing Lian Shou's words as if she was seriously thinking about what Lian Shou said to her but then she snapped her fingers and then smiled at Lian Shou, " And what about you? How will you be punished for being Madam Lian's daughter and leaving without paying the debts that you owe?" 

Du dong. 

Lian Shou felt her heart drop into the pit of her stomach as she looked at Mo Qiang and shakingly asked, " W..Who are you?" 

" Ah yes, you don't know me, right?" Mo Qiang pointed at herself with a grin. " I am Mo Qiang, the daughter of the woman whom your mother betrayed and brought this much money for you…did you have fun living on my money, Miss Lian?" 

Lian Shou trembled, her expression worsening as she looked at Mo Qiang. She knew that the Mo sisters would come looking for her but she didn't think that they would so quickly. Were they flying at the speed of light or what?! At the same time she glared at her father for wasting so much time, if he had packed his bags and left with her last night then things wouldn't have gone awry like this! But he just had to moan and groan like a little ——

" Shall I kill her?" Chu Ling asked while looking at Mo Qiang, since she could not sense any mecha energy from Mo Qiang, she was confident that she will be able to take her down. 

" Are you stupid? She is a spirit summoner! Did you forget how she brought my mother down? Let us run! Get me out of here," Lian Shou turned around and ran, she did not even care about the bags or her father whom she left behind, all she cared about was to get away from Mo Qiang. 

Since Lian Shou was the one who was paying her, Chu Ling also did not bother with Yu Hai and simply chased after the young woman to protect her. 

" You…" Yu Hai was speechless when he saw that neither his daughter nor the bodyguard hired by his wife cared about him and then turned to look at Mo Qiang who smiled back at him and said, " Gotcha." 

Yu Hai: "…." There was no need to catch him since he never ran from the start. 

On the other hand, Lian Shou and Chu Ling rushed to the main town, they were hoping that someone would help them but just as they walked out of the house which belonged to Madam Lian, they were intercepted by Mo Xifeng. 

" If I were you,  I would leave that woman and walk away," said Mo Xifeng as she summoned her own mecha sword and looked at Chu Ling with a stern expression. Her blue eyes ablaze as she looked at the manor which was bigger and better than the house in which they lived, all of this…all of this was made with the money that her mother earned by putting her life on the line many times. 

She glanced at the woman who was most probably a mercenary and added, " If you leave now I will let you go without killing you but if you dare to stay behind and protect her then I will have no choice but to behead you because then you will be regarded as a traitor as well." 

" No! Don't leave me!" Worried that Chu Ling will really leave her just as Mo Xifeng said, Lian Shou hurriedly clung to her sleeves. " If you protect me now and bring me somewhere safe, I will double your salary! I will also add another bonus! Just save me!" 

Lian Shou did not wish to be caught by Mo Xifeng, even though she did not know who among the two sisters was more ruthless, she knew that it must be Mo Xifeng. The youngest mecha morph of the imperial star. 

Chu Ling's eyes flickered, though she was indeed tempted to leave Lian Shou, the offer which the young woman gave her was a bit too attractive. Her salary was grand to begin with, if it was doubled then she will have nothing to worry about! 

" I am sorry about this," said Chu Ling as she raised her sword and faced Mo Xifeng. " I have no hard feelings towards you but I have to do this as I am also someone who relies on money." 

Mo Qiang came over to see what was going on while bringing Yu Hai with her, the mer had long given up and did not even make a fuss when he was caught. He simply asked her to let Lian Shou leave but how can that be allowed?  Lian Shou was Madam Lian's daughter and she was the one who used most of the money which Madam Lian sent to the red star to her second husband's family.

More importantly, Yu Hai was old and did not have any strength left in his body. There was no way she could make him work and repay what he owes her.
