Rebirth of the Best Businesswoman at School

1336 Turning Enemies into Friends

Lei did not hide his desire to live, although as an assassin, he had long been indifferent to life and death and was prepared to die.

However, this did not mean that he did not care about his life. Survival was human instinct. Moreover, this time, he was not trying to survive, but exchanging.

He did not kill Xiao Zhen and exchanged Xiao Zhen’s life for his, so there was nothing to be ashamed of.

Lei looked at Ming Zui and said with difficulty, “I spared his life. Can you let me live?”

When Ming Zui heard this, he immediately frowned. He did not expect such a situation. However, according to Xiao Zhen, he had a chance to kill Xiao Zhen just now, but he did not attack.

Therefore, he was in a dilemma. As long as he raised his hand, the target would die. However, he was not such a person.

Louise and Eugene said nothing. This decision was not something the two of them could make.

In the end, he looked at Xiao Zhen. Although he said nothing, his meaning was obvious.

Although assassinating Lei was the Sect Master’s order, he obviously wanted to follow Xiao Zhen’s instructions. After all, the person the other party had shown mercy to was Xiao Zhen.

It also left Xiao Zhen conflicted. If he nodded and let Lei go, their mission would be considered a failure.

However, Lei did not kill him just now. If he killed him now, wouldn’t it be despicable?

The two personalities in his heart pulled back and forth, but the oxygen in the slaughterhouse decreased. Lei’s face gradually lost its color and turned pale. He probably had little time.

However, Ming Zui did not attack for a long time, waiting for Xiao Zhen’s words.

In the end, Xiao Zhen shook his head in pain and squeezed out three words. “Let him go!”

In the end, Xiao Zhen still followed the true voice in his heart. A life for a life was the right thing to do.

If he killed Lei today, this matter would probably interfere with the rest of his life.

When Ming Zui heard this, he instantly retracted his aura.

Lei breathed in sufficient air again and instantly knelt on the ground. He supported his body with his hands and panted heavily.

It was enough for him to experience that suffocating feeling once. He would never want to experience it again.

Louise and Eugene looked at each other helplessly, but they didn’t know how to handle this matter or how to end it.

They were allies, but they were also employees. They were only in charge of contributing.

“I’ll explain it to the Sect Master,” Xiao Zhen said, enduring the pain.

Although he had violated the Sect Master’s orders, Xiao Zhen knew that with the Sect Master’s personality, she would understand the reason for his decision.

“Wait.”

Just as they were about to let Lei leave, Lei suddenly called out to them.

Lei regained his senses and slowly stood up. Then, he walked towards them.

Xiao Zhen and the rest stopped in their tracks and watched Lei walk up to them. However, they said nothing and waited for Lei to speak.

Lei panted twice before saying, “This shouldn’t have ended like this. I don’t even know why you’re chasing after me.”

“You don’t need to know the reason,” Ming Zui whispered.

Lei was in awe of Ming Zui.

However, he still retorted, “No, I need to know.”

Without waiting for Ming Zui to speak, Lei continued, “If I’ve offended your people or touched benefits I shouldn’t have touched without knowing, you can speak bluntly. I’ll apologize or avoid it.”

Looking at Ming Zui, Lei said seriously, “I’m not your match, so I don’t want to be your enemy.”

These words were simple and clear. Lei directly expressed his attitude. If he offended them, he could apologize, but he didn’t want to fight with Ming Zui anymore.

Louise, who was at the side, couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows meaningfully. It was wise to lower one’s head to the strong.

This Lei could observe the situation and decide without hesitation.

Ming Zui and Xiao Zhen immediately looked at each other, as if they were not sure if they should tell Lei the cause of the matter.

Seeing that the two of them were hesitating, Lei immediately invited them. “You’re seriously injured. If you don’t mind, you can stay at my house for the time being.”

This was already a blatant show of goodwill. Who would have thought that a second ago, they would fight and use all their strength to take the other party’s life? In the next second, they wanted to invite the other party to their house to recuperate?

What was even more strange was that Xiao Zhen nodded and agreed without thinking.

“Alright!”

Ming Zui nodded as if he instantly understood Xiao Zhen’s intentions.

They did not kill Lei. The best solution now was to keep an eye on him first. Then, living with him was undoubtedly the most convenient.

“Get in!”

Lei heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the other party accepted his goodwill, there would be room for negotiation.

He had accepted a few missions recently. He had to figure out which mission was related to this. He had to reject it.

Lei’s dinner was ruined. The car returned to his manor the same way it came. He called the restaurant he often went to in the city and asked the other party to send dinner to his house.

Xiao Zhen treated his wound briefly in the room Lei had arranged. Fortunately, Lei had commonly used medical medicine at home, which was enough for Xiao Zhen.

After treating his wound, Xiao Zhen immediately reported the situation to Jian Ai.

Jian Ai couldn’t react for a long time.

This Lei did not die after meeting them twice. It was as if it was an inexplicable fate.

“Sect Master, I hope you can understand why I did this,” Xiao Zhen said helplessly.

Jian Ai came back to her senses and quickly comforted him. “I can naturally understand. If you kill him, you’ll feel guilty in the future.”

Hearing Jian Ai’s words, Xiao Zhen finally felt relieved. Then, he said, “Lei also admitted that he doesn’t want to be our enemy anymore, so I was thinking if I could tell him the reason for this and make him back off and postpone the next mission.”

The reason they didn’t tell Lei was that they were afraid that Lei would leak the news and spread the news of their operation to the other targets, increasing the difficulty for the others.

After all, they had secretly planned all of this. They had only taken action in advance to seize the initiative.

They could not completely believe Lei, so they did not tell him the reason.

Jian Ai thought for a moment before slowly saying, “We can choose not to kill them, but now is not the time to say it. We still have to be careful.”

“It’s not too late to tell him after the others finish dealing with the targets.”

Xiao Zhen agreed. “I understand.”

After hanging up, Xiao Zhen left the room. Lei ordered many delicious Russian dishes and treated them like guests.

Xiao Zhen walked to the dining table and sat down. Lei’s gaze was on him. It was obvious that he was waiting for Xiao Zhen to tell him everything.
