Chapter 467 - 466: Did You Think I Was Out of Options?
Upon hearing this voice, ’Beisitian’s body stiffened as she slowly turned her head. She found the man who should have been unconscious on the ground now sitting cross-legged, lighting a cigarette.’Beisitian’ was incredulous. This was impossible. No one could resist her medicine powder. Even an elephant would faint if it smelled it!
She had controlled the dosage well. Only the people around them would smell this scent, and after Luo Xudong fell, the scent quickly dissipated, preventing a chain reaction that might attract the squad’s attention.
The always foolproof medicine powder failed today!
"What are you looking for?" Luo Xudong exhaled smoke, asked indifferently.
He thought he could find some useful clues, but the woman just up and left.
Looking at the face that bore the same visage as Sitiang, Luo Xudong felt deep disgust. He didn’t like anyone using the same things as Sitiang, not to mention the same face.
’Beisitian’ uncertainly looked at him and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"I don’t want to waste words. If I weren’t considering her, I would kill you now and bury you deep underground so that no one would flaunt my wife’s face around."
’Beisitian’ felt a chill inside as she looked at Luo Xudong, who said this with a blank face; she knew he meant it!
Moreover, she saw contempt in his eyes. Shouldn’t he spare her out of love for the one she resembled?
"When did you realize it was me?" ’Beisitian’ swallowed hard, trying to stay calm.
Luo Xudong squinted without speaking, showing his impatience.
’Beisitian’ felt sweat drip down her forehead along her cheeks and immediately said, "There’s a list, the personnel list for this mission."
"Who is looking for it?"
"Your adversaries, presumably the ones behind this private weapon sale."
"Why not attack us directly?"
If she wanted to make a move, she should have the capability.
’Beisitian’ laughed, "They only paid me for fetching the list, not for killing people. You know, a life is worth a hundred thousand; for eight lives, it’s eight hundred thousand. They can’t afford it and must handle it themselves."
Luo Xudong observed her with a kind of smugness, seemingly telling him her worth was high and so was the reward for action. Had she wanted, she might have succeeded.
Luo Xudong’s lips curled slightly; even if she intended to act, she wouldn’t have succeeded!
He would shoot her right between her eyes and then slowly investigate her background. Too bad she didn’t make a direct move.
’Beisitian’ felt a shiver from the smile on Luo Xudong’s lips. What’s with him that made him so terrifying, like a beast from the abyss? Just being stared down by those icy eyes sent a chill through her.
The smile was incredibly sinister; for a moment, she even thought he hoped she would act!
’Beisitian’ always felt she was in control, many things firmly grasped, yet this man suddenly jumped out of the painted confines, putting her out of control and threatening her life!
"I’ve said all I can. When did you find out I wasn’t her?" ’Beisitian’ said, pressing her lips.
Luo Xudong blew out a smoke ring, looking at her, his lips curling, "The first moment I saw you, even though you look identical to my wife, you’re miles apart from her."
He couldn’t quite explain the sensation; it was just a pure feeling. The moment he saw this woman, he knew she wasn’t Beisitian, not the woman he longed for every day!
Expression, habits, demeanor—Luo Xudong didn’t need these things as a basis; he knew it in an instant.
Beisitian was engraved in his heart!
’Beisitian’ suddenly felt like a breath was caught in her chest; what did he mean by miles apart!
No matter, she wasn’t mad. This man was her man, defending was rightful!
’Beisitian’ took a deep breath, deciding not to dwell on this matter further, and asked, "You smelled my medicine powder, why were you immune?"
Luo Xudong’s brows hinted at mockery, "Remember your situation? Need me to remind you again?"
’Beisitian’ kept her face cold, not asking further. Asking wouldn’t get answers from this man.
Once Luo Xudong realized she wasn’t Beisitian, he became cautious, constantly wary of her attack. So when she made a move, he held his breath, not inhaling the scent.
Though even if he hadn’t held his breath, he wouldn’t be affected by the medicine powder. Earlier, while this imposter was unaware, Luo Xudong swallowed the antidote Beisitian prepared for him.
He listened to Beisitian, carrying this antidote with him, although the old commander had the same pill, he thought his was particularly special. Yes, that’s what he believed.
It was unfortunate to waste one pill. He could hold his breath for up to eight minutes, and long before reaching the limit, she tried to escape, forcing him to speak as the scent dissipated.
"One last question, what’s your name?" Luo Xudong asked.
’Beisitian’ raised a brow, "If I tell you will you let me go?"
"I can only promise not to kill you." Luo Xudong squinted, most impatient with captives bargaining.
’Beisitian’ breathed heavily with anger, frustrated but dared not say more, so she simply closed her eyes.
Seeing her refusal, Luo Xudong cut to the chase, tying her up with a hemp rope before calling Song Chao.
"Keep an eye on her."
Song Chao was shocked by the scene. What’s going on, did Captain Luo have such a hobby?
The expression on his face just changed when he felt a piercing cold gaze, making him shiver and quickly reply, "Yes!"
Luo Xudong walked over, speaking while doing so, "Stay at least a meter away from her, she’s a fake."
Meaning not to show mercy, not to be soft-hearted.
Song Chao nodded gravely, quickly agreeing and stepping a meter away from ’Beisitian,’ making her grind her teeth in anger.
Because someone needed to watch ’Beisitian,’ the action this evening included only seven members. The night’s raid was very smooth, successfully neutralizing the enemy’s small squad and seizing two large boxes of weapons.
These weapons were placed in a secret location by Luo Xudong, and when arrangements could be made, he returned to the temporary camp.
Returning revealed Song Chao unconscious on the ground, while ’Beisitian’ was gone!
Tucked in the waistband of Song Chao’s shirt was a note. Upon unfolding, it read a line of small text.
"Think staying a meter away means I can’t act? My name is Bei Jiale, you better watch out!"
