Chapter 16 - The Plan
In Lu Aotian's room, late at night, both of them were discussing about how he should include me in the mission.
Lu Aotian
That man is so heavily guarded that not even you could sneak into the fortress that he calls his home.
Lu Aotian
I have you this mission because Aluna is the key we needed to make is succeed.
Li Wei
I won't let her go. Not when she is so vulnerable.
Lu Aotian
She's not vulnerable. You know that and you're scared of building up that potential.
Lu Aotian
You're scared that once she becomes strong enough, she's going to realise how much of a loser you are and leave you-
Li Wei
NO! I WON'T LET HER LEAVE ME.
His loud voice echoed throughout the room, shaking Lu Aotian.
Lu Aotian
As your employer, I've got to look at the odds. With her, they increase significantly.
Lu Aotian
Let her do it. Let he infiltrated that base. Let her seduce Huan Dongli and then, you're going to swoop in and kill him.
Lu Aotian
Or... are you frightened that she might fall in love with him?
His eyes tensed as he threw the scroll onto the ground.
Lu Aotian
You're talking to me as if you have the choice.
Lu Aotian
You were in shreds when I picked you up on the side of the road with my father.
Lu Aotian
He trained you up and gave you a home.
Li Wei
He wasn't even your real father.
Lu Aotian
Adopted, sure. But you were too.
Lu Aotian
He'd know not to underestimate a woman in the assassination field.
He bit his lip, clenching his fists.
Aluna Yan
Good thing that it isn't your decision to make.
I entered the room to Li's shock.
Li Wei
What are you doing here?
I put my hand onto my chest and looked at Lu, Aotian and Li with my eyes determined.
Aluna Yan
Please, let me do this. It doesn't require anything else but for me to open up a door at night and earn the trust of a pompous prime minister's son.
Lu Aotian
Listen to the woman, Wei.
Lu Aotian
We've been trying to nail him for years now. All of my other female agents are too obviously swayed by his words.
Lu Aotian
Aluna here is strong. Don't underestimate her.
Lu Aotian
She's smart and innocent. He would never expect her to be one of us.
Li snarled and walked out of the room.
I looked up at Lu Aotian and he smiled.
I nodded and ran out, racing after him.
I ran after him, trying to catch up to his fast walking.
Aluna Yan
Please, Li. How am I supposed to be strong if I don't take risks like-
Li Wei
You don't have to be strong!
He turned around and shouted to me, putting his hands onto my shoulders.
Li Wei
I'll look after you. I'll protect you. I'll buy you whatever you want. I just don't want you to leave me.
