C11 She must Live to be Glorious!
They took her nude photos and sent them to the drug lord right in front of her. Within an hour, the drug lord offered ten million for her.
She held back her heartbreak and asked Lu Zhengqing, "Who's trying to hurt me? When did you start up with Qiao Chu?"
"Who knows who you pissed off! How many men would be interested in a wooden beauty like you? We've been together for over two years, and you never wanted to sleep with me. You don't love me at all. Qiao Chu is different; she loves me without reservation."
Qiao Mo laughed mockingly, "Sleeping with you means she loves you without reservation? Do you even know how many men she's been with?"
"Don't slander Chu Chu. When she was with me, it was her first time."
"Was it you who sabotaged the yacht that year?"
"Yeah, there's no one as gullible as you. I just smeared a bit of oil and broke the railing, and you fell right in. Too bad you didn't die back then, or I would have married Chu Chu already."
No wonder, when he found out she was working on the yacht that night, Lu Zhengqing asked so many questions and even personally sent her there. She foolishly thought he loved her.
Later, she was drugged daily, kept in a daze, and eventually transported to the drug lord. She was held for days, but never found a chance to escape. That night, the drug lord drugged her again. Knowing she couldn't escape, she set the place on fire...
Given a second chance at life, she was determined to settle past scores in this lifetime. She vowed to live a life that shone brightly.
Recalling her past life, Qiao Mo furrowed her brows and rubbed her tired, burning eyes. She turned to Zhong Ziheng and said, "Mr. Zhong, could you step out for a moment? I need to change."
"Sure."
In the car, Qiao Mo changed into an outfit similar to the one she wore on her birthday. She then fiddled with her makeup, transforming her face into that of a terrifying ghost.
After getting out of the car, Qiao Mo said to Zhong Ziheng, "Pop the trunk, I need to grab my little sharp treasure."
Zhong Ziheng stopped her, "You can't handle the snake. Let me put on some makeup too, I'll go in with you."
Qiao Mo frowned, "Who would you be? Crazy Gu promised not to interfere."
"How about I play the grim reaper?"
"Not menacing enough!" Qiao Mo glanced at Zhong Ziheng's face, with his thick eyebrows, big eyes, and buzz cut, he looked honest and straightforward.
"I prefer to handle my revenge myself."
They took the elevator upstairs. At the door, Qiao Mo listened intently before pulling out her lock-picking tools and opening the apartment door. She reached for the bag with the snake, and Zhong Ziheng panicked, "You can't touch that, Mr. Chi was very clear."
"Just don't tell him."
Qiao Mo opened the bag, revealing a large snake with striking patterns of brown, white, and gold. Its pointed head and hooked mouth were coiled up, and under the flashlight, its eyes glowed green.
Qiao Mo used a fork to pin the snake's head, gripping it firmly just behind the head.
"Wow, I underestimated you. You really know how to catch a snake."
"You wait here for me."
"I won't interfere, but can I at least follow you?"
"Fine, you can follow, but no talking and stay hidden."
The snake coiled around her arm as Qiao Mo seemed to step into the depths of darkness. She gently pushed open a door and paused at the entrance. The light from outside spilled in, so the room wasn't completely dark.
Slowly closing the door, she placed a lamp by the entrance and flipped the switch. The bedroom was instantly bathed in an eerie green glow. She stuck something on the wall directly facing the bed.
Two people lay asleep, entwined in each other's arms. Qiao Mo sat on the edge of the bed, her face expressionless as she watched them sleep. She took out a voice recorder and placed it on the nightstand.
The snake's tail brushed against Lu Zhengqing on the bed, waking him up. He stared blankly at Qiao Mo, not fully awake, but fear gradually spread across his face, and he began to tremble violently.
"Aaaah! A ghost!" His scream pierced the long night.
