Chapter 265 Do You Know How Much I Have Sacrificed to Be with Xie Xiu?
Madam Chan said awkwardly.
“And now, she’s making a racket in the room. I was afraid, so I locked the door in a hurry.”
“What should I do now, Miss Rao? I…”
In a moment of distress, Madam Chan had referred to Secretary Rao as Miss Rao.
In the beginning, Secretary Rao was one of the young girls that were brought into Xie Xiu’s household to be raised as ladies.
But under Xie Xiu’s harsh training, it became a form of preparation for their profession.
It had been a while since someone had called her Miss Rao. She felt a sense of intimacy when she heard it.
And this intimacy strengthened her resolve.
She comforted Madam Chan, “It’s okay. Mr. Xie has figured out what to do with Miss Mu Zhi. He has sent me to pick her up.”
At this, Madam Chan let out a sigh of relief.
“Then what should I do now?” Madam Chan asked again.
Secretary Rao pondered it for a moment and said, “How about you take a break. Don’t do anything. Don’t worry about her. I’ll take her with me when I arrive.”
“Okay.”
Madam Chan let out another sigh of relief before gently hanging up.
Secretary Rao watched as Xie Xiu’s plane lifted off. She looked at the sea of clouds beneath her.
This was the first time that she had acted on her own will without following Mr. Xie Xiu’s instructions.
Previously, all her sisters who had done the same, had died.
In the past, everyone had said that Mr. Xie Xiu loved her the most and spoiled her.
And now, what would he do if she made him choose between his beloved woman and her?
Secretary Rao fell deep in thought before collecting herself.
It didn’t matter.
No matter what happens, she won’t regret it!
The plane slowly touched down at the place they held Mu Zhi. All the attachment she had felt from before, returned.
She quietly entered the compound and slowly entered the building.
When she saw Secretary Rao, Madam Chan immediately came over and pointed at the room Mu Zhi was held in, “She’s in there.”
“Okay, you can go rest now.”
Secretary Rao added, “Return to your room and have a sleep.”
Madam Chan was relieved to hear that.
This place was a fortress and Xie Xiu had never brought in any outsiders， which meant that she must be an extraordinary woman.
Thus, she was afraid of taking responsibility for her.
Madam Chan hurried back to her rooms as Secretary Rao suggested.
Secretary Rao made her way to Mu Zhi’s door the moment Madam Chan closed hers. She entered the passcode and opened the door.
Mu Zhi had screamed herself tired and was preserving the rest of her energy. She sat up and ran to the door the moment it opened.
She stopped in her tracks when she saw who was in the doorway.
It… It was Secretary Rao.
“Secretary Rao, what are you doing here?” Mu Zhi stared at her, puzzled.
Secretary Rao chuckled as she spared Mu Zhi a glance, “Are you surprised?”
“So, are you saving me or kidnapping me?”
Mu Zhi was more confused than ever.
If she thought logically, Secretary Rao had given the order for her to be rescued.
But Madam Chan said the person who saved her was the young master.
Obviously, that meant a man. Could that man be… Xie Xiu?
“Mr. Xie Xiu saved you.”
Mu Zhi had been deep in thought when Secretary Rao answered her question. She then added, “I’m here to take you away.”
“Okay.”
Mu Zhi was relieved to hear it was Xie Xiu who rescued her.
She had interacted with Xie Xiu and knew that he would not harm her.
Mu Zhi quickly followed Secretary Rao out the door, and they both walked quietly without speaking.
After leaving the bedroom, Mu Zhi noticed just how large this building was. It was much larger than she had expected when she was locked in that small room.
Mu Zhi looked around curiously.
To be exact, she found the architecture of the building quite puzzling. There were three floors. The one she was held in was decorated beautifully and luxuriously. The second floor was more common and ordinary. But the first was one large room with a large table in the middle as if used for meetings.
Mu Zhi had thought that there were only three floors, but she didn’t realize that there was a basement as well.
“What is this used for?”
Mu Zhi asked in surprise.
“To train us.”
Secretary Rao expression remained unchanged. She didn’t look around but continued walking outwards. She explained, “I can take you if you’d like to see it. It was designed to imitate a colosseum. You may experience some discomfort if you decide to see it.”
Secretary Rao led Mu Zhi out.
Mu Zhi took a deep breath. She was filled with questions.
“What does Mr. Xie Xiu do? Who exactly are you people?”
Mu Zhi asked suspiciously.
Secretary Rao glanced at her, “Mr. Xie was raised to be an assassin. He must have told you that. We were children that were abandoned until he found us and brought us here. We were raised to be an assassin organization.”
Mu Zhi was stunned.
“But we don’t kill that often anymore.”
“…”
Mu Zhi was shocked. The entire situation felt strange to her.
How did such an association exist?!
She had only read about them in books or in movies.
In any case, it wasn’t safe overseas.
But… Now that she’s met them, her blood ran cold.
Secretary Rao took Mu Zhi around as if on a tour. She wasn’t in a rush to take her away.
She brought her into the basement and showed her around. This place was truly amazing yet strange!
It was like a large prison. The walls were built so closely together that even a bird would have difficulty finding its way out.
There were all sorts of dangerous equipment in the compound.
The more she saw, the more it frightened Mu Zhi.
But Secretary Rao went on without any emotion. It even looked as if she might be filled with nostalgia.
She then slowly said, “When we were young, we had to go through rigorous training and countless battles. Do you know how much I had to sacrifice just to stay with Mr. Xie Xiu?”
