Chapter 393 Coercion

Herbert fell asleep again while Winnie was in the company of her. After all, her serious injury had not healed, and her body and spirit were extremely weak. After a long time, a strong sense of fatigue swept across her body in an instant, and she could not allow him to hold on.3wx.co¤m

Without disturbing his rest, Winnie ordered her servants to take care of her, and then she went back to the room alone, lay on the soft big bed, staring at the ceiling above her head with a dull eyes. Gradually, her eyelids began to close. From the early morning to the present, her life seemed to have experienced a drama of ups and downs.

Xia Lan suddenly appeared and killed her fiancé, then subverted Fangs and finally learned about her fiancé's true face... Everything seemed so incredible, like a dream.

If this is really a dream, how great it would be.

Winnie smiled bitterly and her closed eyes slowly opened. She felt so tired, as if she suddenly fell into a maze and was confused about the exit of the future.

Does fate like to tease people so much? Why is the road to pursuing happiness so bumpy?

When she learned about Herbert's relationship with Subvert Fang, an ominous omen immediately emerged in her heart, which was a woman's intuition, keen and terrible.

She didn't know what would happen in the future, but she never wanted to see this future.

"Are you confused?"

Suddenly, a familiar man's voice sounded in the room, and Winnie jumped up from the bed and looked around. After a while, her gaze was firmly locked by the window, because there was a person she was shocked and afraid.

Drank Xialan.

"Why are you here? Are you here to kill Herbert?" Winnie looked at him vigilantly, and her body unconsciously moved towards the door.

"If I want to kill him, he is dead now." Xia Lan leaned against the window and looked at Winnie coldly.

"Since you were not here to kill him, why did you appear here?!" said Winnie.

"Because I need to know something from his mouth. If I ask him in person, he might rather die than say it, but the questions you ask are different." Xia Lan said indifferently.

"You want to use me to obtain the secret to subvert Fangs?" Winnie said in horror.

"Oh? It seems that you already know his identity. I'm not surprised by this. After all, you were also present at that time." Xia Lan's face remained unchanged. "I just didn't expect that they didn't kill you to silence you!"

"If I don't help you get the secret to subvert Fangs, will you threaten me with Herbert's life?" Winnie said biting her lip.

"Things asked knowingly," Xia Lan said. "I know you are a smart and decisive woman. I believe you know what to do."

"If I help you obtain the secret to subvert Fangs, will you promise not to kill Herbert in the future?" Winnie stared at Xia Lan and said.

"As long as he doesn't become a direct enemy of me, I will consider letting him go." Xia Lan said: "After getting along this year, you should know that I am a person who keeps my promises."

Winnie hesitated for a long time in silence, and said with a solemn expression: "Okay! I will help you, but if Herbert dies, I will never let you go!"

"If he really died under my sword, I would kill you." Xia Lan said coldly.

Winnie felt a chill in her heart when she heard this, could she get rid of the roots?

"I will come here every two days. If I find the information you gave me perfunctory and excuse me, you should know the consequences!" Xia Lan's words were full of warnings and murderous aura.

"I can't guarantee that I can get the useful information you need every time. If I'm too anxious to spy, I'm afraid it will easily arouse Herbert's suspicion. You should be very clear about this." Winnie said without backing down.

"A week, this is my bottom line." Xia Lan no longer had room for bargaining Winnie.

"Okay!" Winnie nodded immediately and agreed.

"Looking forward to your good news."

After saying that, Xia Lan jumped directly from the windowsill. When Winnie rushed forward to observe, the other party had already disappeared without a trace.

Leaning on the windowsill, Winnie slowly slid down on the ground and breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did she realize that her heartbeat was so violent and rapid, which showed her mood at this moment.

Xia Lan's elusive appearance did scare her, but she did not expect that the other party would come to negotiate with her, or to coerce her.

If she didn't want Herbert to die, she had to promise Xia Lan, otherwise, maybe he would even kill himself to avoid revealing his purpose. However, isn't he worried that he would tell Herbert about this matter and then let Subvert Fang use the trick to deal with him? Is he too confident? Or is he too familiar with himself and will not reveal it?

In short, she was indeed ready to obtain the information secrets of subverting Fang from Herbert without leaving any trace. The reason was very simple. Instead of believing in the rumors of evil and strange subverting Fang, it is better to believe in people she is familiar with. At least Xia Lan's behavior is worthy of her trust.

After soothing and calming down, she began to consider the consequences.

There is no doubt that once subvert Fang knows this, they will never let herself and Herbert go, but she has no choice.

Death early and late are all deaths, but there is hope for Xia Lan to choose. As long as she acts secretly enough, I believe that the subvert Fang will not be discovered.

Of course, this was just her wishful thinking.

...

Leaving Sir Lawlands's mansion, Shaland began to look for a new safe and hidden stronghold, and it was not until the evening that he returned to the house where Adrina was placed.

As soon as the door opened, there was no one in Xia Lan's sight. He shook his head, walked slowly to the edge of the bed and whispered: "Adelina, it's me, come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, a small head suddenly emerged from the bed, and a rumbling sound was heard. Adelina crawled out from under the bed and immediately hugged Xia Lan in front of her. Her pretty and beautiful little face was full of fear and fear, "You are so scared that you walk without sound, and you don't knock on the door before entering. I almost thought it was a bad guy!"

"Don't be afraid. As long as I'm here, no one will hurt you." Xia Lan patted Adrina gently and comforted.

"Well, I know Mr. Xia Lan will definitely protect me." Adelina murmured in his chest.

"Let's go, I've found a new place to live, it may not be very safe here." Xia Lan said.

"Why is it not safe? This should be the Wisteria area, right? I heard that the security in the Wisteria area in Port Louis is the best, and there are patrol guards day and night." Adelina said in confusion.

"Little fool, listen to me, and our new residence is also in the Wisteria area." Xia Lan pinched Adelina's little face and smiled gently.

Adelina reached out and patted Xia Lan's hand that "does evil" on her face and pouted, "Adelina is not stupid, Adelina is so smart."

"Yes, yes. I know Adrina is the cutest and smartest." Xia Lan nodded quickly and smiled.

"Hmph—" Adrina turned her head and pretended to be angry: "Lie! You can tell that you are lying at first glance."

Xia Lan reached out her hands and grabbed her shoulders and turned her toward her, without giving Adelina a chance to react and kissed her tender lips.

Adelina was stunned when facing Xia Lan's sudden actions. When the two of them separated, she had not yet come to her senses.

"Adelina, leave..."

It was not until Xia Lan reminded her that she felt a smile at the door that she realized, her little face suddenly turned red, and she rushed towards Xia Lan.

"Mr. Xia Lan, you bad guy!"

When night fell, Xia Lan and Adrina came to a quiet community. There were graceful and luxurious houses everywhere around. The roads made of clouds, white and rock bricks were clean and tidy. The light and shadows were intertwined under the bright street lights, and the lush branches and leaves of lush trees rustled with the wind, giving people a relaxed and pleasant enjoyment in a trance.

"Mr. Xia Lan, we won't go wrong, it seems that this is the place where the nobles live..." Adrina, who has been staying in civilian areas for many years, followed Xia Lan carefully, stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of his clothes and said nervously.

"A nobleman? No, you were wrong. In fact, as long as you have enough money, anyone will regard you as a nobleman." Xia Lan thought carelessly.

"Is that true? So, Mr. Xia Lan, are you very rich?" Adelina said uneasy, pursing her lips.

"Not much or less, but it's enough for me to support you for the rest of my life." Xia Lan said with a smile.

"Hate!" Adelina clenched her fist and gently hit Xia Lan, but her heart was warm.

Soon, the two of them stopped in front of a room. Xia Lan took out a key and opened the door directly. In front of the dark foyer, she reached out and pressed the switch beside the wall. Suddenly, the bright light instantly dispelled the darkness and spilled every corner of the room.

“This is our new home.”

Xia Lan led Adrina into the living room.

"A new home?"

Adrina looked around at the exquisite decorations around her, which were simple and elegant. Compared to her small grocery store home, I don’t know how beautiful it is.

Xia Lan sat on the soft sofa and raised her head. Her nerves that had been tense finally relaxed a little. After all, he was always emitting perception and alertness throughout the way, so as not to have people surveillance and tracking again but not at all.

If he was more cautious, the situation in front of him might not be so bad.

"Mr. Xia Lan, you seem to be very upset."

At this time, Adrina slowly sat next to him, her eyes filled with worry and concern.

"Oh? Is that true?" Xia Lan turned her head and looked at her and chuckled.

"Yes, I just saw you frowning." Adelina leaned against his shoulder and said softly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Xia Lan hugged her shoulders, her fingers twitched the soft hair that Edelina drooped on her shoulders, but her eyes were empty at the landscape paintings on the wall.

This appearance made Adrina feel distressed for a moment. She wanted to share Mr. Xia Lan's troubles, but she couldn't do anything.

It's all because she has no power.
