She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1720: Chapter 1797: Setting the Trap

”Even though we’ve acquired the land, there’s still an opportunity for collaboration. Our Feng Family values Mr. Meng’s abilities greatly.”

”There have been many who collaborated with your Feng Family, and there are many more who are stronger than I am.” Meng Ping’s high alertness made him uneasy with the Feng Family, as if something was known by everyone but him, leaving him feeling foolishly ignorant.

Therefore, upon hearing the chance to work with the Feng Family, he did not display excitement but became even more vigilant.

”Is Mr. Meng interested in having a conversation?” In fact, he didn’t quite understand why the Family Head held Meng Ping in such high regard, as under the current circumstances, Meng Ping wasn’t the best choice.

”I might not have time recently. As you can see, I have to go on a long trip.”

Ji Le Tian shrugged, admiringly said, ”Truly worthy of the third generation, such grand style. Hiring soldiers as bodyguards, and there’s also...” He didn’t finish his sentence, but his eyes fell suggestively on the black luggage bag on the ground.

The implication was clear.

Meng Ping wasn’t concerned. Instead, he patted Ji Le Tian on the shoulder, ”I’m going out hunting, of course I need to be well-equipped.” Saying this, he waved his hand to have someone carry the items to clear the way, and Ji Le Tian didn’t say anything further, directly got in the car, and drove away.

After passing Meng Ping’s villa, there were ten more terraced villas in a private area. Regardless of the land area or building scale, it was evident the owner’s handiwork was impressive.

As of 1985, such architectural scale was already stunning enough.

The car stopped at the entrance of the central building in the private area. Feng Zhenzhen was already waiting on the steps, Ji Le Tian opened the car door for Sheng Ning, and she approached complaining, ”You’re too busy, it’s really hard to see you.”

”Can’t help it, Xu Qigang hasn’t returned yet, I’m really uneasy.” The two walked while talking, ”Do you know what Meng Ping wants with this? I asked you to keep an eye on him before.”

”I heard he’s been focusing his energy on the Shen Family recently.”

Sheng Ning suddenly stopped, staring with disbelief, thinking of the people and weapons she had just seen, her mind filled with increasingly troubling thoughts.

It seems that Shen Yu’s death didn’t thoroughly satisfy him; he wants to wipe out the entire Shen Family.

”By the way, Shen Ming has always been in the Northern District, and at noon today, he left with his men.” Feng Zhenzhen prioritized all the tasks Sheng Ning assigned her.

”Shen Ming, Meng Ping... he wants to take this opportunity to kill Shen Ming.”

Feng Zhenzhen, intrigued, said, ”That’s just perfect.”

”By the way, when is Xu Zongdui coming back?” When Feng Zhenzhen asked this, she awkwardly averted her gaze, not daring to look into Sheng Ning’s eyes.

She wasn’t worried about Xu Qigang, but about Chen Yingjie. She just didn’t dare to ask directly and had no right to ask, yet her heart was a turmoil, making her unlike herself.

These days, as soon as she closed her eyes, it was Chen Yingjie’s sunny, handsome face and warm eyes. Everything about him made her yearn, just like a moth to a flame, clearly knowing it would lead to destruction, yet she couldn’t control herself.

She thought, perhaps everyone born in the abyss would be drawn to the light. It was as if an instinct that couldn’t be controlled.

Sheng Ning suddenly stopped, the blood drained rapidly from her flower-like face, leaving it pale.

The Living Yama had returned, Qin Xue went in the morning, Shen Ming left at noon, and Meng Ping left in the afternoon. Connecting these pieces, even a three-year-old wouldn’t believe there was no connection.

Especially since Meng Ping was so well-prepared, his intentions were obvious.

Just what she unintentionally discovered was so much already, what about those she hadn’t discovered, and the operations happening in secrecy?

Why was it all on the same day? Why wasn’t it earlier or later, but precisely when the Living Yama returned?

The only conclusion was—they were all targeting the Living Yama.
