Chapter 2190: Chapter 2183: Chu Manhe’s Lie
"What I want to say is..."
Upon hearing Wang Dadong’s words, Mo Xiaoxiao quickly put on her coat, feeling so ashamed she wished she could disappear.
It really was a misunderstanding...
It took Mo Xiaoxiao several minutes to recover from her embarrassment, and she frowned, "Are you saying Manhe hasn’t been honest with us?"
Wang Dadong nodded, "Yes."
"How do you know?"
"Because the photo I just showed her was of a random passerby from the street, definitely not Ah Yi," Wang Dadong said.
"What? Then why did Manhe..." Mo Xiaoxiao asked in surprise.
Wang Dadong squinted and said, "I guess she’s trying to protect Ah Yi and doesn’t want us to find him."
"Why doesn’t she want us to find Ah Yi?" Mo Xiaoxiao was even more confused.
At this point, logically speaking, the person most eager to find Ah Yi should be Chu Manhe.
After all, she’s pregnant with his child, and the child needs a father.
"Because she doesn’t trust us, or more specifically, doesn’t trust me. She’s afraid I’ll harm Ah Yi," Wang Dadong said calmly.
"Ugh, we just wanted to help her, and she deceived us." Mo Xiaoxiao was a bit frustrated, "So what do we do now?"
"Actually, I have a good idea of who it might be..." Wang Dadong’s eyes showed a hint of sadness.
Since Chu Manhe wants to protect Ah Yi, the description she gave of Ah Yi’s appearance is surely false.
In other words, the person who matches Chu Manhe’s description but doesn’t look like Ah Yi should be Ah Yi.
Truth be told, Wang Dadong wasn’t hoping for this...
"Can you bring him here?" Mo Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a bit excited.
As long as they find Ah Yi, they can find out why he chose to disappear.
Wang Dadong sighed and shook his head, saying, "I’m afraid not..."
"Why?"
"Because... he’s already dead."
"What, dead!" Mo Xiaoxiao’s face changed dramatically.
Wang Dadong’s expression was also filled with sadness.
Actually, from the beginning, he suspected Ah Yi might already be dead.
After all, being an assassin is an extremely dangerous occupation.
Falling in love with someone makes it even more dangerous.
Because love can make an assassin less cold-blooded, more indecisive.
Moreover, Ah Yi was never a strong assassin to begin with.
Among assassins, he was just a very low-level member.
He was a D-class member.
Yes, Ah Yi was a member of Hell.
In an assassination mission in a neighboring country three months ago, he failed and died.
In any organization, it’s common for people to die, especially considering Ah Yi was merely a D-class member.
The organization Hell loses dozens, even hundreds, of members at this level every year.
"What should we do?" Mo Xiaoxiao’s expression also turned sad.
Thinking Ah Yi was a terrible womanizer, she hadn’t expected he was already dead.
Now, it’s a real problem.
If Chu Manhe learns that Ah Yi is dead, she’ll be devastated.
Plus, she might be even more determined to keep the child.
After all, even if Ah Yi doesn’t show up, Chu Manhe’s insistence on having the child shows she loves Ah Yi deeply.
"I don’t know either, that’s why I’m discussing it with you. Based on what you know about Chu Manhe, what would she do if she finds out Ah Yi is dead?"
"She might... choose to die with him..."
Mo Xiaoxiao said solemnly, "That girl, back in high school, almost slit her wrists for a guy she liked."
Wang Dadong also became distressed.
It’s certainly a troublesome matter.
"How about this: let’s play along with Manhe and say we couldn’t find Ah Yi? After all, she doesn’t want us to find him," Wang Dadong suggested tentatively.
"But how do you get past Manhe’s parents? You can’t actually marry Manhe, can you?" Mo Xiaoxiao smirked.
"Even if I wanted to marry her, she’s not willing to marry me." Wang Dadong rolled his eyes.
Earlier today at the restaurant, Chu Manhe made it very clear that she wouldn’t marry Wang Dadong.
Of course, Wang Dadong was just saying it casually.
Even if Chu Manhe were willing to marry him, he might not want to.
Although Chu Manhe is beautiful, she’s not so stunning that she makes Wang Dadong’s heart race.
Especially since she’s a pregnant woman...
He certainly doesn’t want to become a stepfather unexpectedly.
He’s absolutely unwilling to bear such a burden.
But in this way, handling this matter becomes troublesome.
Suddenly, Wang Dadong thought of a great plan.
Since Chu Manhe is determined to have this child because of her love for Ah Yi, he could disguise himself as Ah Yi, and then...
As long as Chu Manhe gives up on him, maybe she won’t want the child anymore.
Driven by this thought, Wang Dadong immediately took out the silver needle he carried with him and stood in front of a mirror.
"What are you going to do?" Mo Xiaoxiao asked, puzzled, as she watched Wang Dadong.
"You’ll see in a moment."
To Mo Xiaoxiao’s astonishment, Wang Dadong transformed into another person.
"Is this Ah Yi?" If Mo Xiaoxiao hadn’t seen Wang Dadong’s transformation with her own eyes, she would never believe the man in front of her was Wang Dadong.
"And the height isn’t quite right." Wang Dadong smiled lightly and then began to grow a few centimeters taller.
This scene left Mo Xiaoxiao stunned.
"Oh my god, how did you do that? Can you teach me?" Mo Xiaoxiao was actually quite dissatisfied with her height.
But previously, all her attention was focused on her flat chest, so she hadn’t paid much attention to her height.
Now that her flat chest issue has been resolved, she’s dissatisfied with her height.
If she could grow ten centimeters taller, no, just eight centimeters, she’d be a stunning beauty.
"Uh... unfortunately not, and my technique is not permanent; it can only be maintained for a limited time," Wang Dadong shook his head.
No kidding, learning the Bone Shrinking Technique is no easy feat.
The pain endured during practice is not something Mo Xiaoxiao could bear.
Moreover, one can’t remain in the altered state for too long after using the technique, or else the bones and meridians would suffer severe damage.
Wang Dadong possesses great strength and can quickly recover even if his bones and meridians are damaged, but Mo Xiaoxiao can’t.
Knowing she can’t grow taller, Mo Xiaoxiao felt a sense of disappointment.
"Actually, you don’t need to be upset. Although you’re not tall, your body is very well-proportioned, and your face suits your height. If you were taller, you might not look as good," Wang Dadong comforted her.
It’s true that some women suit taller statures, but some don’t, like Mo Xiaoxiao, who has a baby face and fits a petite body.
If she were a meter seventy tall, she’d look a bit odd.
It would be really unbalanced.
Wang Dadong disguising himself as Ah Yi is just the first step in his plan, his second step is...
