1796: Revenge (1)

Revenge (1)

As Xia Xibei put away her things, the gang felt a glimmer of hope. 0

"Can we… Go now?"

"Yes, you may," Xia Xibei replied with a faint smile. "However, you do know what the consequences will be if anything happens, right?"

"Of course, of course! We all know!" they nodded vigorously.

They were all too aware of the potential consequences if they were to speak out.

They would be done for.

Who would dare to take that risk? Everyone would keep their mouth shut tight!

They were more worried that Xia Xibei might reveal the truth. 

If that happened, they would truly be finished. 

Not only would their careers be ruined, but they could also end up in jail!

They weren't idiots, so why would they willingly walk into their own demise?

"Very well then, you may go," Xia Xibei waved her hand. "But if I find out that you're up to no good, you'll be sorry."

"No, no, we won't! Absolutely not!" 

They quickly shook their heads, looking terrified.

Seeing their frightened expressions, Xia Xibei knew that they wouldn't dare to do anything reckless.

Cui Tong tugged on Xia Xibei's clothes, looking confused. 

Were they really just going to let them go like this? 

Surely not, right?

Xia Xibei gave her a reassuring look before turning back to the group.

"Aren't you leaving yet? Waiting for me to buy you a meal or something?" she asked sarcastically.

"No, no, we're leaving now!" 

The group hurriedly put on their clothes, ready to depart.

However, while in the process of getting dressed, a small bag fell out of someone's clothing.

The guy's face immediately turned pale as he crouched down to pick it up. 

Xia Xibei was faster, obviously. 

Before they could make a move, Xia Xibei had already grabbed it.

Looking at the handful of pills in the small transparent bag, Xia Xibei's smile deepened, but her eyes were icy.

"What's this?" she asked.

"That's… That's my medicine! I had a cold and needed some medicine!" the guy stammered.

"Meds for a cold?" Xia Xibei raised an eyebrow mockingly. "Really?"

"Of course!" he nodded frantically, looking like he wanted to snatch the bag back from Xia Xibei's hand.

The thought of her viciousness made him hesitate, and he dared not move recklessly.

The others also noticed the bag and became anxious, quickly speaking up for their friend.

"We can vouch for him! That's his cold medicine!"

"Really, we can testify to it!"

Xia Xibei looked at them with a sneer, "You had a cold, yet you could still spare the energy to do all this? You're a piece of work, aren't you!"

Were they too enthusiastic or simply clueless about the danger they were in?

"Umm…" 

The gang laughed awkwardly, feeling embarrassed.

They looked at the bag with eager and anxious eyes, as if they couldn't wait to snatch it back. 

Xia Xibei said nothing and hurled the bag over. 

"Alright, get lost." 

The man caught the bag and was overjoyed, trying hard to hold his expression in check, 

"Great, we'll leave now!" 

Watching their hurried departure, Cui Tong walked to Xia Xibei's side, looking confused and worried. 

What was inside that bag… Couldn't be cold medicine for real! 

Xia Xibei glanced at her and shook her head slightly. 

Of course, Xia Xibei knew it wasn't cold medicine. 

Moreover, she now remembered that these guys had been involved in drugs afterward! 

This had caused quite a stir in the year she had her accident. 

However, it didn't come to an end before she died. 

Now that she thought about it, it wasn't a small matter.
