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?”
