Dear Young Master Spare Me Please? - 258 Lis
the day ended pretty productive for han mingxia despite having some discomfort after breakfast.
after checking the few apartments miller gave her, she started to learn the basics as liu zilong’s assistant.
while miller was explaining the usual routine of the young master, han mingxia curiously asked him. “you always live with first young master?”
“yes in normal circumstances, except if he’s in the main liu family’s mansion.”
“normal circumstances? what if it’s not normal?”
“then it would depend on the situation and first young master’s order.”
han mingxia nodded. she didn’t have any problems when it comes to living with someone. as long as it’s part of her role, she could live with it hassle free.
“if i’ll be his assistant, what will you do?” han mingxia asked again. she was wondering if this assistant would be resigning. then it would explain why liu zilong hired her.
unfortunately it wasn’t the case.
“next week, i would go back to q city as per first young master’s order.”
“oh, i see…” han mingxia answered and lowered her eyes.
q city. the place where her life started. the city that contained so much memories of her childhood and teenage life. but, except from the memories of her mother and her husband, there was nothing special in it.
the following day, after moving to the new apartment, han mingxia received a call from lu zilong. she was informed to pack her things and meet him at the airport.
since she didn’t want to misunderstand again, she asked several questions before finally ending the call.
after receiving the flight information, han mingxia wanted to ask but seeing that liu zilong was busy, she swallowed her words. find authorized novels in webnovel,faster updates, better experience,please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
miller wasn’t around and only the two of them were in the lounge while waiting for the boarding time.
seeing their destination, han mingxia remembered that mission with red. it was also the first time she didn’t follow her partner’s instruction and the plan. she didn’t kill liu zilong.
her ultimate question that time was why on earth he was entangled with those people? but whatever the reason was, she believed he didn’t deserve to die.
she looked at the man who was massaging his temple while his lips were curled up.
observing the gestures of the man while pondering the possible reasons of his appearance in that place, han mingxia was oblivious that liu zilong was already aware of her scrutinizing eyes.
“what are you thinking?” liu zilong asked, turning his head slightly to face the woman directly. he wore his signature soft and warm smile.
“oh,.. that… i was thinking why you were in places you shouldn’t have.”
“i’m also wondering why you’re in places where i usually encounter danger. you saved me twice. don’t you think that’s destiny?” liu zilong asked while making his smile deepened and his eyes seemed to probe something from the woman.
“i don’t believe in destiny. those times were merely coincidences.” han mingxia answered nonchalantly.
“you’re probably right. still, i’m thankful.” liu zilong said and moved his gaze to another direction.
“is that the reason why you requested for me?” after hearing that liu zilong was grateful, han mingxia’s courage was getting bigger. if liu ziling was really thankful, then she could ask for a reward, right?
“one of the reasons. i also need an assistant while miller is busy. i need someone that i can fully trust.”
“you trust me?” it was surprising to hear that word from him.
“why can’t i trust my savior?” he asked turning to her once again.
“are you in danger?”
“danger is always lurking around.”
before han mingxia could ask another question, she heard the announcement of their boarding time. she silently followed liu zilong as she pondered on how to maximize her resources.

in black.com’s office, zhang huiling just received the box coming from her daughter. she smirked as she placed it on top of the box red took from zhang yu’s house.
the two boxes were reminders of her early life.
the first box which was bigger compared to the second box, contained several memorable small things that she kept. after han yun xiang requested to get this box, he didn’t claim it. the man intended to give it to her.
as for the second one, she saw it when the two of them talked. but han yun xiang didn’t give it to her. he probably knew she would just throw it thus he used han meixiu to deliver the box. at least that method has more chance to be opened after she received it compared to giving it to her directly.
but han yun xiang clearly underestimated her. regardless of who the sender would be, she didn’t plan on opening both boxes. what for? those were all in the past.
after closing the drawer containing the two boxes, she continued to read the report about what chen dewei gave her as payment for han meili’s medication over a year as well as support for the rest of her life.
seeing the inventory of the place as well as the people included, zhang huiling could really say she made a good deal.
it made her mood good and decided to visit the place.
zhang huiling called bo lin in.
“how is red’s condition?” she asked the moment the man came in.
“she’s stable now.”
“good. i’ll be gone for about a month at most, contact me only if it’s necessary.”
“understood.” bo lin quickly responded. he’s used to this kind of set up. once in a while, their leader would disappear and would only give him an estimated time when she would come back. as for her destination, he always had no idea.
after bo lin left, zhang huiling’s attention drifted towards han mingxia. she was actually in the middle of building up someone to inherit her position and han mingxia was the person she was eyeing.
but after a series of ‘mistakes’ she gave up. originally, she wanted her own daughter but she was clearly not suitable. she then moved her attention to han mingxia but again, she was disappointed.
in terms of talent, she could actually choose someone else but to fully trust that person, that’s her biggest dilemma.
red would be great if only she’s a real woman. but she’s not.
zhang huiling sighed before preparing to leave. she took her usual modified phone and a set of disguise.
she would visit that medical facility in cognito to find out the level of security. also, the place was connected to what her mother left for her.
she remembered the conversation she had with chen dewei when he explained the purpose of the medical facility.
“i am only a supplier. though the products that i supply are human organs, i am just a normal business man. though there were times i went overboard, those weren’t extreme. as to where my clients use what i provided, i don’t have any idea nor i’m interested to know.”
“then do you have a list of your clients?”
chen dewei stared at her for a period of time. seeing that he was hesitating, zhang huiling spoke again. “remember, you are already dead. if i get the list, nobody will know.”
“it wasn’t that i’m worried about myself. i just want to know the reason why you want it. if you’re worried that they might give you a problem, then you can relax. they didn’t know that place.”
zhang huiling shook her head. “that’s not it. i just have some concerns about the location.”
“it’s perfectly safe from authorities.” chen dewei answered.
“it seemed that you don’t want to give the list to me.”
“i can’t give you something that i don’t have anymore. it was burned.”
“so it was in your mansion. that’s a pity.” zhang huiling sighed.
“although i don’t have the list, i can enumerate you the names of the people.”
zhang huiling smiled. she understood the man’s dilemma. he could say who were his clients but without documents to prove, it would be difficult to believe him.
“it’s fine. i just want to know who are those people.”
