Read Novel I Want A Lifetime With You Chapter 547

The kid shuddered at the look of Li Heng's eyes. "I don't know where he is!" "You're lying!" Li Heng was whirling around a scalpel. His smile did not have a hint of warmth. "Well, if you don't want to bring me to him, you can try to outrun my throw. Let's see if your speed beats my accuracy."

Li Heng pretended to hurl the scalpel at the kid. The kid began to shiver in fear. "I... I'll bring you there!" Li Heng twitched his brow and kept the scalpel. "Move!"

That kid had not the slightest idea about Li Heng. But he was not going to take his chances after seeing what Li Heng was capable of. He said, "Mr. Huo doesn't just simply meet with anyone." Which Li Heng replied, "Is that so?"

"Yes! By the way, where are you from, mister?" The kid was still speaking Sylvonish as he asked Li Heng. "Z Nation," Li Heng answered. His gaze fell on the kid. "Aren't you going to take off your mask after disguising for so long?"

Just as the kid was stunned, Li Heng swiftly tore off the mask, revealing an innocent face.

The face was carefully assembled. She was a little girl that was no more than fifteen, or sixteen years of age. She appeared younger with her disguise, probably around twelve to thirteen years old. Her thin figure was easily mistaken for being malnourished.

The girl glared at Li Heng for tearing off her mask. "How do you know?" she asked defiantly.

This time, she spoke in fluent Z Nation language, sounding rather bitter for being exposed. She continued, "No one has ever figured out my disguise!"

"Well. I can only assume that those people are blind as bats, Ms. Huo," Li Heng exclaimed.

The girl's eyes widened as she looked toward Li Heng in disbelief. "How do you know that my family name is Huo?"

Li Heng smirked. "Rumor has it, Huo Shenxing has a precious little sister. So, what brings you to this kind of place?"

"None of your business!" Huo Ling's eyes bulged. "Who are you really?" A sudden realization hit her. "How did you know that I'm Huo Shenxing's sister?"

So far, no one could tell her real identity underneath the disguise, except for her brother, Huo Shenxing. She had kept it hidden from so many people. On top of that, practically no one knew that Huo Shenxing had a little sister.

Huo Ling set her cautious eyes on Li Heng. "Are you planning to bring mischief to the Huo family?"

Li Heng was amazed by Huo Ling's imagination. "What were you collecting from the corpses earlier? Was it samples of virus?"

Huo Ling panicked and looked toward Li Heng. This guy is really something! How does he know that I'm collecting viruses at the site?

For the past ten days, she had been in Willowbank. The place was plagued not only with war, but also diseases. That was the reason why she was there. Huo Shenxing was here for that exact reason. Huo Ling had actually sneaked in after her brother because she was bored at home.

It took less than a few days before Huo Ling was found out by her brother and asked to leave by herself. Huo Ling turned back halfway after she was sent off.

Within the Huo family, other than Huo Shenxing who had remarkable medical skills, Huo Ling was also exceptional at it. But there was an unwritten rule in the Huo family's teaching. The women in the family would be married off eventually. Once married, they would no longer have use for the medical training that they had received in the Huo family. For that reason, the medical skills were never passed down to any woman in the family.

Huo Ling had amassed her medical knowledge through mimicry. Later, when it was found out by the Huo family, Huo Ling was banned from getting near it. Huo Ling was quick-witted despite her young age. She had disguised herself as a boy and escaped the watchful eyes of the Huo family many times before. Naturally, this time, Huo Ling was able to escape without any hassle.

Huo Ling was keen on comparing herself with Huo Shenxing. She knew Huo Shenxing was investigating the disease and she wanted to follow suit. However, she was shut down before she could even begin. The group finally appeared after much waiting but was annihilated nonetheless. Huo Ling was left with no other choice. She had to scavenge from the lump of corpses.

Huo Ling did not think that she would be targeted during her short expedition.

I think I did a pretty good job at disguising myself. How come this man could still tell in an instant? Huo Ling was frustrated. "Mister, out of so many others, why did you have to go after me?" Huo Ling started scratching her head as if she was going to have a breakdown. "I can't let my brother know I'm here, otherwise I'm dead!"

There was no way she was going to lead Li Heng to Huo Shenxing. Huo Shenxing would skin her if he found out.

It took Li Heng a huge amount of effort to finally come across someone who was associated with Huo Shenxing. Thus, he had not the slightest intention to let her go. "Are you a medical practitioner?" Huo Ling was high strung as he observed Li Heng, not knowing what his next move would be. Li Heng was amused by the little brat's expression. "You're not going to spill it, aren't you? Well actually, I can locate Huo Shenxing by myself. Can you imagine if..."

"Who are you really?" Huo Ling sighed at her ill-fortune. "I'll call you handsome if that's what it takes. Can you please, just let me go? I'm not a fugitive and I've never crossed you. Why do you have to get in my way?"

Huo Ling was ready to kneel before him. She thought about running. But the thought was put off after she had examined her feeble limbs. Huo Ling knew that she stood no chance against Li Heng. Her natural instincts told her to not piss off the man in front if she had her best interest in mind.

Huo Ling was truly desperate. "You shouldn't bark up the wrong tree. If it was Huo Shenxing or the Huo family that have wronged you, you should look for them instead and not me. I have cut ties with them long ago."

Li Heng twitched his brow. "You little brat. You're quite funny, aren't you?"

"No, not at all!" Huo Ling was quick to deny it as she shook her head violently. "Handsome, do you think you can let me go, please?"

As she was speaking, Huo Ling tried to attack Li Heng's weak spot. With a twist of his arm, Li Heng slammed her directly onto the ground.

A loud thud was heard. Based on the sound of impact, Huo Ling thought her organs must be damaged. She was literally biting the dust.

Pfft! Pfft! Huo Ling spat out two mouthfuls of dust and scrambled to her feet. "D*mn! Mister, don't you know how to be gentle with women?" Despite her underdeveloped body, she was still a lady. Her oval- shaped face had turned many heads before.

But Li Heng could not care less. He took her down straight without blinking an eye. Huo Ling felt like her sanity was on the verge of collapsing.

"You mean, you?" Li Heng inspected her. He had absolutely no regard for Huo Ling. "Bring me to Huo Shenxing!"

"No way!" Huo Ling would not budge an inch. "You can go by yourself. Since you're capable of hitting a woman, it should be a piece of cake for you to replace a certain someone." Huo Ling never planned on going to Huo Shenxing. So, her only option was to escape. But she would never be able to wrestle her way out of Li Heng. If she wished to escape, she had to have a plan in mind.

Huo Ling's eyes darted around as her gears began to spin. Li Heng had his arms crossed and watched over Huo Ling nonchalantly. He was waiting to see what the little brat was up to.

He had already found Huo Ling, so he was not worried about replaceing Huo Shenxing.

"Well. If you're not taking me to Huo Shenxing, then you will have to follow me instead." Soon as he finished, Li Heng swung his hand in her direction and firmly clasped onto Huo Ling. He then proceeded to throw her into the car.

Huo Ling was on the verge of tears. Even so, Li Heng did not show any sign of letting up. He took another glance at Huo Ling and noticed her canvas bag. Without any warning, he snatched over her bag and tossed it to the ground.

"Hey, hey... that's my life's work. You..." Huo Ling had more to say, but her mouth was quickly stuffed by Li Heng.

"Ms. Huo, since you're unwilling to cooperate and bring me to Mr. Huo, then I have no choice but to trouble you with a trip together." Li Heng filled her in.

With her mouth stuffed, Li Hen only managed to let out muffled sounds. Trip? To where?

Once Huo Ling was properly tied up, Li Heng held up a cigarette between his fingers and looked at her interestingly. "Imagine the Huo family suddenly missing a daughter. What do you think they would do in light of that?"

Huo Ling's eyes widened with astonishment. She never thought that the man was capable of something so despicable.

Li Heng caught the look of surprise on Huo Ling's face. He knocked on the window with his slender fingers. "Seems like Ms. Huo is also well versed in medical practices, which means I don't necessarily need Huo Shenxing. Am I right?"

After finishing his words, Li Heng tossed his cigarette bud to the ground, where the canvas bag was lying. He stepped on the pedal and blasted off from the godforsaken place.

Huo Ling could not believe that she had just been kidnapped by Li Heng. She could not even speak properly as her mouth was stuffed. But she resisted strongly, hoping that Li Heng would let her go.

Li Heng said with a smirk, "Ms. Huo, I'm guessing you've never been to Z Nation! Let me be your humble host and show you around Z Nation!"

How shameless! How despicable! Huo Ling was shaking furiously.

She was completely helpless with her hands bounded. What kind of tying method did this old man use? The harder I struggle, the tighter it gets.

Li Heng did not bring Huo Ling back to his country right away. They made a detour at the capital of Frosa. It had only been less than three days since Li Heng left. Having returned so quickly, with Huo Ling on his back, Song Zhe was very puzzled. Song Zhe asked, "Mr. Li, who is this?"

Li Heng took a glimpse at Song Zhe and instructed, "Arrange a room for her and have someone stand guard. Don't let her run away!"

"Hey, Mister! Who are you really?" Huo Ling asked without a care in the world.

Seeing that Li Heng had remarkable skills and the people surrounding him were also strong-looking, Huo Ling could not help her curiosity.

Huo Ling was also quick to accept things. She had long given up on escaping, after counting her odds. Even with that said, she still harbored some hatred toward Li Heng. After all, this old man threw away my hard-earned virus samples.

The thought of that brought her to fumes. Huo Ling glared at Li Heng. "I'm still a member of the Huo family. I don't think it reflects kindly on you if I continue to be treated as such!" She signaled at the ropes that were still wrapped around her arms and body. Can you imagine being hog-tied as a lady? Where should I put my face after this?

"Oh! I've totally forgotten about it." Li Heng was suddenly reminded. He simply looked toward Song Zhe and said, "Keep her tied up just like that!"

Huo Ling was devastated as she stared at Li Heng. "Mister, you will forever be shunned by others. I curse you to live the rest of your life in solitude!" She was grinding her teeth in anger.

"Oh! My apologies. I already have children and a wife," Li Heng mocked.

"Pfft!" Song Zhe could not hold his laughter.

Huo Ling scowled at Song Zhe. "What are you laughing at? You won't be able to replace a girlfriend as well! Wait... No, not even a boyfriend!"
