The ocean breeze picks up again as Ning Mei stood in silence on the dock. She stares at the man and she couldn't help but scans him from head to toe and back up.
She found is strange that someone like this man would dress so shabby. With all the money he had collected, she was sure he would be living a life full of wealth. However, instead, he looked like he hasn't taken a shower in over a year.
Thinking this, she remembers something Wei Hongyi once said her. She clearly brush her thoughts away and turn her entire body to face him.
"Money isn't a problem. If you can get the job done as soon as possible, I will have the money prepared for you."
The man's brows furrow together, and he taps his fingers on the metal dock rail. His eyes slowly flutter, and he comes to a decision.
"I can assure you that I will get the job done, even if it is tonight."
Ning Mei's entire being froze at his words. She did say as soon as possible, but she did not expect him to say tonight. However, if he can really kill Yue Ling and Zhao Ya'Er with no evidence leading back to her then she can't miss such a grand opportunity.
She reaches inside her handbag and retrieves that bank card Wei Hongyi had given her.
"In here is 500 million yuan. Once you have completed the job, I will give you the other half."
If she remembers correctly, this man charges 500 million yuan for a job. Since she is asking him to kill two people, then it will be a total of 1 billion yuan.
Right now, she only has the 500 million yuan Wei Hongyi had given her. As for the other 500, she will use her cheques from her last two modeling sessions and make a few calls.
The man licks the front of his teeth as he makes a suckling sound. Setting the fishing pole down, he turns to look at Ning Mei.
"Usually my clients pay me in full in advance, but because I am in a good mood today, I will give you until tomorrow to pay the remaining money."
His words fell as he takes the card from Ning Mei. He looks down at it and slightly leans sideways against the metal rail.
"If you can't, I will take your life in exchange."
He didn't care if his spiteful words scared the woman in place. He leisurely puts the bankcard in his pocket and kept his eyes on her in a nonchalant way.
"Anything else?"
Ning Mei was rooted to the ground in fear of what he said. Even the hairs on her body that stood on ends have not return to their original position. She could not believe that this person did not give her time and even dare to threaten her.
Slowly biting her lower lips, she tells herself to remain calm. This is an once in a lifetime chance since Chu Li Xiang could not finish the job. As of right now, she can only depend on this man. One small mistake from her and she knows that he will not hesitate to end her life.
She takes a deep breath and reach inside her handbag again. Taking out a yellow envelope, she hands it over to the man.
"I accept your conditions. As long as you can kill the two people in this envelope, I will bring you the remaining money tomorrow."
The man shrugs one shoulder and takes the envelope. He opens the seal to see who his targets are, but Ning Mei's next words made his movements stop.
"Nie Chen, I hope you don't fail me like that bastard, Chu Li Xiang."
The homeless looking man name Nie Chen shifts his gaze from the envelope to Ning Mei. His dark pupils seemed to have darken and the aura around him turned colder than the ocean breeze.
"Don't you ever dare say my name again or I will make you disappear from their world."
Hearing his tone full of danger, Ning Mei felt like someone had scooped up a bucket of the cold ocean water and poured it over her. She could see it in Nie Chen's eyes that he would really kill her if he wanted to.
Even if he did, no one would suspect him because there isn't a single person around besides the two of them.
Not wanting to die, she swallows a hard gulp and force out one of her famous playful chuckles.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I will keep your words in mind to not make the same mistake again."
Nie Chen scoffs at her then lowers his head back to the envelope. As he does this, he couldn't help but think about Ning Mei's words.
He had heard many from the underworld say that Chu Li Xiang had crossed the line with Fate and the coldblooded Lu Tian. The man lost his life all because of a woman. However, no one other than Chu Li Xiang and his men knows who the woman is.
Surprisingly, like the saying goes that the world is small, it really is because that woman is standing right in front of him.
"Zhao Ya'Er and Han Yue Ling."
As Nie Chen immerse in his own thoughts and was just about to slide the photos out from the envelope, Ning Mei's sudden words caused him to pause. However, it was only for a quick second as he continues to slide the photos out.
What he thought to be multiple photos was only one photo. It was of two women. One tall and one shorter, but both women were beyond pretty and looked almost like fairies lost in this world. Both individuals were walking side by side and seemed to be immerse in shopping.
He stares at one face at a time with an arched brow. His thoughts at this moment are unreadable before the puts the photo away.
"So, you want me to kill these two women? One, who was the famous model who just recently retired and the other one, the only cousin of the most ruthless man in Imperial?"
He may be a killer, but that does not mean he doesn't pay attention to the media.
Hearing how he described Yue Ling, the anger inside Ning Mei intensifies. This is the reason why she wanted Yue Ling dead. Even when the model has already retired from the industry, many still see her as their idol and brag about her like she is a goddess.
Ignoring the fact that Nie Chen can kill her for speaking wrong, she clicks her tongue and cross her arms over her chest.
"Anyone who is in my way from reaching the top cannot breathe the same air as me. So what? Can you do the job or not?"
Her tone full of irritation and superior was one Nie Chen didn't like. Anyone who dares to speak to him in this way is no longer alive to tell what he did to them.
However, he glance down at the envelope in his hand then looks back at her.
"Once I say something, I don't go back on my words."
Ning Mei felt relief wash inside her when she heard his words. The corners of her lip curls up until it reaches her eyes.
"Then I hope to hear the good news soon."
She gives the man a final glance then walks back in the direction she had come from. She needs to make a few calls because once she returns to the busy city, she will have to collect the rest of the money.
Nie Chen stood unmoving as he watched Ning Mei walk away. He turns back to face the ocean and stares down at the envelope in his hands.
His thoughts wonder as deep as the ocean beneath him and a smirk curls on his lip.
"Zhao Ya'Er and Han Yue Ling. This will be interesting."
These two women are not easy targets, but never has he ever failed a job. However, before he goes after his targets, he needs to make a quick stop somewhere.
He rips the envelope into small pieces and toss it into the ocean as the wind carries it away further into the horizon.
Reeling in his fishing pole, he puts his equipment away and place his fishing bag over his shoulder. Holding the fishing pole in one hand, he prepares to leave.
However, he doesn't leave in the direction Ning Mei had left, but walks to the far corner of the dock.
His free hand grips onto the dock rail and he swiftly hops over and jumps down into the ocean.
If Ning Mei had looked more carefully from where she parked her car, she would have seen the luxurious looking motorboat that was parked right below the dock.
Nie Chen starts the boat engine and sails away from the dock in the direction of the deep ocean.
