C27 The Five Great Families
In order to save Maomao, he had to stay by Xuanyuan Lia's side. Heavens... This was the first time he felt desperate.
He thought about what Lan Tingyan and Xuanyuan Lia had said today. Dingdong. A trace of a clue flashed through her mind. Oh right, at that time, she only cared about the matters of her family and ignored Xuanyuan Lia's family.
Could it be that... Xuanyuan Lia's family was also one of the five great families?! The five great families were the top families in the underworld. However, the relationship between these five families was not friendly. Other than normal communication problems, they basically did not interfere with each other. They restrained each other's power.
To be honest, Xiaoxiao did not doubt that the mastermind behind the extermination of the family was also one of the five families. But it was only a suspicion. The five great families were too low-key and mysterious, so she could not find any clues.
God...
For the past eight years, you have not given me any hope, please do not destroy the only hope in these eight years.
In the underground prison cell, regardless of day or night, she had been squatting on the ground for an unknown period of time. But she felt that every minute and second passed very slowly... as the saying goes, every day is like a year.
The door suddenly opened with a click.
Xiaoxiao slowly raised her head. The sleepless night made her eyes red and swollen. She also looked a lot more haggard. Xuanyuan Lia walked in alone. The door was closed again.
"Looks like you didn't sleep well the whole night. Have you thought it through?" He squatted in front of Xiaoxiao.
"Very clearly."
The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
Xiaoxiao looked at him and slowly said, "What I said last night was not half false. As for my identity, this is my private matter and I don't want to mention it. Maomao is my son. My purpose this time is only to save him. If you still don't believe me, you can spy on me. I can even stay by your side until you find out who is the mastermind behind these assassins. You can set me free again. " Her words were firm and forceful.
This was the conclusion she came to after worrying for the whole night. Not only could she dispel Xuanyuan Lia's doubts, she could also leave Maomao and stay by Xuanyuan Lia's side.
He raised his hand, lifted Xiaoxiao's chin, and looked straight into her eyes. "Do you think I will tie you, this time bomb, to my side?"
"Heh, who are you, Xuanyuan Lia, the leader of Night Empire? A member of one of the five great families. Even if I am a bomb, do I dare to explode it? My son is still in your hands, what else do you want? How can you force me to be satisfied? I have already made the biggest concession. I took the initiative to let you monitor me, so you should know that... I can't play any tricks. I, Mu Xiaoxiao, just hate being misunderstood, and I don't want to be in Night Empire with you. One of the five great families, the Xuanyuan family, will become your enemy!" Her eyes were clear and sincere.
His eyes looked at each other, and his dark eyes seemed to see through Xiaoxiao. He was silent for a long time. "Alright, I believe you. However, do you dare to sign a contract with me?"
Contract?
Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. Actually, in the underworld, there was a very mysterious organization called the Law of Contract. Everyone knew about it. In the underworld, there was no law, but this organization was a law. It was formed by the backbone of the major gangs in the world.
In the underworld, although they schemed against each other, they also paid a lot of attention to integrity. If you take the initiative to sign a contract with someone else, if you violate the contract... As long as the person involved announces the contract, the person who violates the contract... He will be hunted down by this organization, and in the end, he will die without a complete corpse!
Therefore, in the underworld, no one would randomly sign a contract with others.
"I'm willing!" Xiaoxiao answered firmly, but she was also thinking in her heart that Xuanyuan Lia actually took out a contract.
"Okay." He let go of her jaw and let go of the chains on her hands and feet.
She shook the book and kept it locked. Her wrists and ankles were almost numb. She held onto the wall and stood up. "By the way, where is my son? I want to see him. " Thinking that her son would be locked up here, her heart ached.
Xuanyuan Lia turned around and looked at her. "Don't worry, that kid isn't locked up here. I'm not going to put a child in such a place."
His voice was as calm as before, but it made Xiaoxiao's eyes turn red. She felt lucky that Maomao was not in such a place.
Looking at her appearance, Xuanyuan Lia frowned slightly. A trace of emotion flashed through his dark eyes.
"Then, where is Maomao?"
"I will bring you to see him."
"Alright."
After leaving the underground cell, it was already afternoon outside. The dazzling sunlight made her feel a little uncomfortable.
In the study room.
Very cautiously, he signed, drew, and the contract was formed: "How about this, you can take me to see my son now, right?" She did not look at the contract again.
Because Xuanyuan Lia's contract did not have any excessive requirements. The content was that she needed to fully cooperate with him within two years.
It was equivalent to two years of selling her body.
"Do you want to return to your original appearance, or do you want to maintain the current situation?" He sized her up and down. The way she dressed as a man was indeed not pleasing to the eye.
"That's how I am. It's convenient for me to do things. Besides. I only signed a two-year contract to sell myself to you, not to your Night Empire." She said indifferently. It was too inconvenient for her to return to her female outfit. Also... Thinking about what happened in the elevator, her face couldn't help but turn red.
She didn't bother with him anymore: "Go and drive, my sell-body driver."
"Where to?"
"I thought you couldn't wait to see your son," said Wang Yao.
"Oh..." Xiaoxiao suddenly understood. She quickly took the key and drove. When she went out again, she stopped and looked back at Xuanyuan Lia. "By the way, can I ask you a question?"
"Go ahead."
"She asked, When did you start to doubt me? When did you start to doubt me? ___ asked. When did you know my gender?" The main reason she asked this question was because she wanted to find out when she was in the elevator. Did Xuanyuan Lia know that the waitress was her?
Xuanyuan Lia could tell what she was thinking. He smiled and said, "Guess..."
Was there a need to ask if she could guess? ! A cunning man!
He drove to a remote suburb where there was a large lawn. Behind the lawn, there was a small lake. There were swans growing on the lake.
All kinds of flowers bloomed, and a large tree that was mixed with the sky was extremely conspicuous on the lawn. Next to the big tree was a unique villa. It was white. In the flowers, grass, big trees, and lakes. It was so unique, such a beautiful place, like a paradise on earth.
"Maomao, here?" Xiaoxiao was a little dumbfounded when she saw it. Such a good environment. It was too beautiful and too beautiful.
Xuanyuan Lia got out of the car and walked down the street. Xiaoxiao followed him through the lawn, through the flowerbed, and came to the door of the villa. She pushed the door open.
Wah...
What a beautiful place, it was like heaven because almost every piece of furniture here was white, so pure...
"Uncle, you came to see me. Look, I already know how to play this." A tender voice was heard. Maomao held the little dart in his hand and ran to the door in a flash.
" Is that so? Then how accurately did you throw it?"
"Right in the middle of the heart!" Maomao smiled proudly. He pulled Xuanyuan Lia's sleeve and pulled him into the house. He then happily took the small dart.
