Su Xiao nodded at Lucy, then stood up.
A flash of light flickered across his Tactical Goggles.
"Sorry. I hope this makes up for the fright you suffered."
The woman straightened her disheveled clothes and said coldly,
"You think you can buy me off with a little money? Let me tell you, I'm not that kind of person!"
The moment the words left her mouth, the woman regretted them.
That was because she had finally seen that Su Xiao had transferred a full thirty thousand euros—a huge sum.
The idiot Wooden Man had called her out to Cloudy Peak in the middle of the night to investigate.
She had run around nonstop, working herself ragged.
And in the end, all he had given her was five thousand euros.
She had merely been asked a few questions, yet she was receiving six times that amount in compensation.
Besides.
Come to think of it, the reason they had been so aggressive was that she and her husband had misunderstood them.
Judging from their willingness to pay, they did not seem like bad people either.
If she had cooperated a little more earlier, none of that might have happened...
At that moment, the woman noticed that Lucy had not followed Su Xiao away. Instead, she was standing in front of her.
One hand rested on her hip as she looked down at the woman.
"Is there something else? Or is there something dirty on my face?" the woman asked, touching her face.
A cold smile played at the corners of Lucy's mouth.
"You forget thousands of things every day. Why not forget this one too? If you dare tell anyone what happened today, or notify Wooden Man..."
Lucy suddenly moved closer and extended her porcelain-fine finger, viciously poking the woman in the chest.
