Shi Yuran watched from upstairs, but didn't know what they were talking about. She only hoped that those men wouldn't betray her. If Leng Xiaoyao learned that it was her idea, she would be in trouble.
Seeing Leng Xiaoyao walk away, Shi Yuran called Xiong at once and asked him about the situation.
Given her relationship with Xiong, she believed that he wouldn't blame her even though they failed. After all, she paid them.
"Xiong, are you alright?" Shi Yuran asked with concern.
"We're fine." Xiong answered.
"D-Does she know that I paid you to do it?" asked Shi Yuran. She didn't dare to ask Xiong whether they had betrayed her.
"She doesn't know," Xiong said.
Shi Yuran believed him and felt relieved.
"Xiong, don't worry, even though you failed, I'll still pay you for it," said Shi Yuran. Although she was reluctant to do that, she was afraid of Xiong. After all, he was a gangster.
