Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: Peng Xiu acting pitiful

Just when Agent Shen thought the issue was over and he could report to Peng Xiu, he noticed movement in the black car parked along the street. His heart skipped a beat as he saw Han Xin and his cousin step out.

Swearing under his breath, he slid further down in his seat, trying to remain unseen. He hadn’t realized Han Xin was so close to Xiang Yu, but it was clear now that their bond was stronger than he had thought.

Agent Shen had expected no more surprises, but he was wrong. He watched as Xiang Yu, the two girls, and his apprentice emerge from the building and got into the car with Han Xin and Han Zhan. The group drove off, flanked by security vehicles. Agent Shen’s eyes widened in shock. The scene was surreal, and he struggled to process everything he had witnessed.The street returned to its deceptive calm, but he wasn’t calm at all. He had a lot to report to Peng Xiu.

After the shock wore off, Agent Shen took a deep breath and pulled out his phone. His fingers trembled slightly as he dialled Peng Xiu’s number. The events he had just witnessed were still fresh in his mind, and he knew he had to report everything accurately.

Meanwhile, Peng Xiu was in her luxurious apartment overlooking the city. She lounged on her plush couch, wrapped in a silk nightgown, a face mask covering her skin. Beside her was a body pillow adorned with Han Xin’s face, which she was gently rubbing with a look of obsession in her eyes. The soft glow of the television illuminated the room, casting a romantic ambience as a drama played in the background.

She took a sip of her iced coffee, savouring the moment. The main characters on the screen were dancing in the rain, their love story unfolding beautifully. Peng Xiu leaned into the body pillow, her voice a soft whisper. "One day... one day it will be us. We will dance in the rain just like them."

Just as she closed her eyes, lost in her daydream, her phone rang. The sudden sound jolted her back to reality. She glanced at the caller ID and saw Agent Shen’s name. Her heart skipped a beat, anticipation and excitement bubbling up inside her. She quickly answered the call, her voice steady but eager. "Did he get arrested or is he... dead?" she asked, her tone laced with anticipation.

Agent Shen froze for a moment, not knowing how to respond. He nervously rubbed his thigh, feeling the weight of her expectations. "No, he was not arrested... neither is he dead," he finally managed to say.

Peng Xiu’s face darkened, the smile on her lips freezing in place. Her throat bobbed as she swallowed down her rising anger. How could Xiang Yu be this lucky? How could that old bitch mess up the plan and fail to squash Xiang Yu? The more Agent Shen spoke, the angrier she became. "Explain," she demanded, her voice cold and sharp.

Agent Shen took a deep breath and recounted the events in detail. He described the Die clan’s attack on the tattoo shop, the explosion, and the subsequent arrival of the police. He explained how Xiang Yu and his companions had left the scene unscathed, driving off with security.
