Chapter 799: Chapter 798: Can approach_1 Chapter 799: Chapter 798: Can approach_1 Leng Peixi saw right through her thoughts, the corners of her mouth curling into a mocking smile. She scolded, “What a pity, such naivety. I thought you were the smartest among the new generation of the Leng family. However, you’re still so foolish.”

Leng Ran kept quiet, not showing signs of anger or impulsivity because she was scolded.

A Rong couldn’t help but snort, drawing the simultaneous attention of both women.

“You two carry on.” He raises his hands in a surrender gesture, then consciously heads to the kitchen to find something to eat.

“Never mind! I shouldn’t expect you to become smart overnight. Only through setbacks and failures can a person learn, can they understand the brutality of reality.” Leng Peixi sighs.

Listening to her, Leng Ran felt even more uncertain. Yet, she couldn’t show weakness, and even more, couldn’t reveal her fears.

Her aunt is a maniac who enjoys seeing others in fear. If you show fear, she becomes more twisted.

“I’ll give you a task. If you fail, you can go die. If you succeed, the entire Leng family will be yours.”

“Speak!” Leng Ran detected persistence and determination in her tone, realizing there was no way she could refuse this task.

“Since you and Jiang Nanfei are friends, get close to her, become her best friend, the person she cares most about.” Leng Peixi laughed softly as some thought crossed her mind, uncharacteristically delightful.

The statement made Leng Ran’s scalp tingle, and she rejected it immediately. “Though Jiang Nanfei and I were classmates, we are not close and have always been at odds.”

“I know your relationship is rocky, but what about He Shasha’s good relationship with her! There’s much you can use.” After finishing, Leng Peixi shot her a glance filled with icy warning. “If you fail, I’ll kill you right now. You have no room to refuse.”

She was well aware of the Leng family’s inherent vices. After all, they started as businessmen and were inherently self-serving scoundrels.

Being as smart as Leng Ran, how could she not know which option to choose!

On a quiet rainy night, a police car severed the darkness, illuminating the streets of Qi Li town.

Nan Fei got out of the car, turned and thanked Jiuming, who had lowered his drive seat’s window. “Thank you.” If Jiuming hadn’t brought her from the provincial city overnight, who knows when she would’ve arrived had she taken the bus.

She didn’t want to wait even another minute.

“No problem!” Jiuming responded wearily, tugging at the corner of his mouth, “You go in! Bei Jiang locked himself in his room and hasn’t come out.”

“Okay!”

The front door of the Huo Family’s house wasn’t locked, just left slightly ajar. As Nan Fei pushed the gate open, Jiuming drove off. In turning his head back, his car lights briefly flashed onto the alley across from him, and Nan Fei happened to catch it from the corner of her eye.

The bicycle, bathed in the brilliant light, emitted a cold metallic sheen.

Nan Fei paused before heading toward the little alley opposite.

By this time, Jiuming had already driven the car away, and everything sank back into darkness. Nan Fei, who came in haste, hadn’t even brought a flashlight. The alley was narrow and ominous, and by the time she was halfway through, the darkness utterly surrounded her.

That feeling reminded her of the moment when she was dying in her past life. Her steps slowed and grew heavier.

Still, the familiarity that the bicycle stirred in her, pulled at her, drawing her forward like a poppy flower. The doubts deep within forced her to gather the courage to go forward, despite the fear that consumed her.

In the fleeting glimpse she had earlier, she had recognized the bicycle’s basket.
