BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1232: 1229
After sipping her coffee with a teasing air, Vivian Li said, “Do I need to skulk around and hide like you?”
“Don’t forget, it’s you who’s wanted, not me!”
At this, Jin Lisi’s expression changed dramatically, her eyes filled with caution, “What do you mean?”
Her Perception spread out in an instant, searching for any ambush nearby.
Only when she felt there were no experts around to put her to death did she breathe a sigh of relief.
However, she still maintained a combat stance.
Her eyes, sharp as a viper’s, stared intently at Vivian Li before her.
But across the whole Eastern Ocean City, who could pose a threat to her except Oliver Walker?
The five infamous gods of war?
Maybe, but all five were high-ranking officials who wouldn’t leave their borders.
Or perhaps the Dragon Division from their military, with whom she had clashed before?
No!
Those people were nearly equal in strength to her; they couldn’t elude her Perception.
Moreover, they had to keep in mind that her brain was implanted with the latest 3nm technological chip, which acted like radar, vastly enhancing her ability to perceive danger.
“Why are you so nervous?”
Vivian Li put down her coffee cup, locking eyes with Jin Lisi in an overblown performance, “You did the killing; what does it have to do with me?”
“Do I need to hide?”
“What a joke!”
Such an explanation was logical, and since their military had not issued any warrant, Jin Lisi naturally would not suspect anything.
She couldn’t even find a reason to doubt!
But a single sentence can awaken one from a dream!
These past few days, Jin Lisi had been contemplating how to escape but had completely overlooked this point; immediately, with anger, her hands pressed on the table as she questioned, “So, the reason you didn’t act that day was to escape blame?”
She felt as if her intelligence had been dragged across the ground.
Although she knew early on that Vivian Li was conserving energy, hoping to reap the benefits of a fisherman watching two others fight, she didn’t foresee the consequences of a failed action.
“Otherwise…”
Vivian Li glanced at her, saying leisurely, “What do you think?”
Jin Lisi’s chest heaved violently, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
She was close to hating the despicable woman before her to death!
It never occurred to her that after a lifetime of manipulating others, she was now the one being played.
“I advise you to be more rational!”
“Don’t forget we’re in a state of lockdown; besides the troops outside, there are countless satellites targeting Eastern Ocean City right above us.”
“Are you sure that once you make a move, you can still conceal your whereabouts?”
Vivian Li’s tone was light throughout, but the lighter it was, the more damn infuriating it became.
At that moment, Jin Lisi couldn’t contain the fury within her, saying coldly, “Then why did you summon me here, what’s your actual purpose?”
She was well aware that now was not the time to make a move.
And she understood all too clearly that every word that despicable woman said was right!
So even if her hatred itched at her gums, she had to forcibly restrain herself!
But she also had a premonition that her current mood was like a volcano on the brink of eruption; if provoked again, she definitely wouldn’t be able to hold back.
She wished she could dismember the despicable woman before her a thousandfold!
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
Vivian Li spoke slowly, “I’m here just to help you leave Eastern Ocean City. You should be thanking me, not treating me like the enemy.”
In truth, all the talking was just setting the stage slowly.
If she’d been forthright from the start, Jin Lisi, given her sensitivity, wouldn’t have believed a word of it—that would have been truly strange.
“Ha…”
“You can help me leave?”
Jin Lisi scoffed coldly, “As you said, the city is locked down; the satellites overhead are too numerous to count, what kind of ability do you have to get me out of here?”
If it were indeed so easy to leave, would the Eastern Alliance leave her to fend for herself?
Not a chance!
So she really didn’t want to believe it!
