191 Paying the Price

“I know, Dad.” Dong Yan looked sideways at his father and held Dong Peng’s hand. His lips curled into a gentle smile. “I’ll definitely protect myself and not let you worry.”

Seeing this, Shan Yue’s brows relaxed and she added, “Uncle Dong, it’s still my fault. If I hadn’t gone to Fengye Mountain to teach Dong Yan how to drive, he wouldn’t have become like this. I made you worry.”

“It has nothing to do with you, Master.” Dong Yan spoke before Dong Peng could speak. He raised his eyebrows slightly. “I was the one who took the initiative to learn how to drive from you. I can only say that I didn’t do well enough.”

“Alright, stop arguing.” Dong Peng’s eyebrows curled into a smile, and his eyes were friendly. “I won’t blame any of you. Miss Shan, without you, my Dong Corporation would have collapsed and even been annexed by the Tang family. I can’t thank you enough for your kindness to our family. If you can use my Dong family in the future, just tell me.”

Shan Yue quickly nodded in thanks. “To be honest, Uncle Dong, I really have something I want you to help me with recently.”

“It’s fine. Just tell me.” Dong Peng turned around and his expression became solemn. “Is there anything I can do?”

Shan Yue did not speak. Instead, she first asked for Dong Peng’s private account. She opened her phone and transferred 10 million yuan to Dong Peng from her account.

“Uncle Dong, I transferred 10 million yuan to you first.” Her eyebrows were relaxed. “You also know that I’m going to Las Vegas soon. It might be a few months before I come back, so I can’t keep an eye on the land you gave me. Moreover, I definitely don’t know as much as you do, so I hope you can help me take care of it. I’ll give you a portion of the money first. If anything happens, you can help me with emergencies.”

Seeing this, Dong Peng quickly refused. “I can help you with this. This is what I should do. I can’t accept the money.”

“You don’t have to say anything else. I’ve made up my mind. Since I want this land, I’ll definitely be responsible for it.” Shan Yue’s eyes were filled with determination, giving off an irresistible feeling.

Dong Peng did not say anything else. He knew that since Shan Yue had already made a decision, she would definitely not change it.

The sun gradually set outside the window, and the sky slowly darkened. Shan Yue bade farewell to Dong Peng and his son and left the Federal Hospital.

Shan Yue was not in a hurry to go home. Instead, she arrived at the entrance of the Federation’s First Bank. Faced with the upcoming trip to Las Vegas and being in a foreign country, she had to be prepared. First, she had to ensure her safety.

While thinking, Shan Yue had already entered the federal bank. The first time she came here, it was to treat Shan Chen’s leg and retrieve the silver needles.

Although her original account was frozen and she could not withdraw any money, she was still the number one killer of the organization. After working hard for so many years, she had prepared some backup plans.

Looking at the full storage cabinets, Shan Yue carefully recalled her two cabinets. “1,001 and 30.”

An instant of thought reminded Shan Yue of the number. This was because every cabinet here needed a code word. Shan Yue had chosen these two cabinets back then for the sake of easy memory.

“The sun rises on the 30th of every month.” As soon as she finished speaking, a gap popped up in Cabinet 30. Shan Yue pulled open the cabinet and saw a crystal agate-colored ring.

Shan Yue stuck her ring finger into the ring. She did not expect it to be just right. This ring was originally made for Ling Yue. Fortunately, Shan Yue has lost weight now. It would be a waste not to wear it.

The ring was made of agate with some impurities added to it, making the ring extremely hard and even able to pierce the throat.

There was a crack in the center of the ring that was almost invisible to the naked eye. There was a mechanism that could store some medicine in it. When needed, the mechanism could be opened to drug someone.

Then, Shan Yue put the knockout powder into her ring.

After closing Cabinet 30, she turned to 1,001 and said, “The Thousand and One Nights Story.”
