"Heh, if that's what you're saying, then that's great."
Fang Ying let out a cold laugh, her small face icy, instantly raising the hairs on my body.
"Is that true? Am I really that impressive?"
After Fang Ying left, Yue Qing spoke up.
"Heh, what's wrong? Not so tough anymore? Why not boldly confess to Fang Zhu Master?"
Yue Qing's sarcastic remarks made me take a deep breath, drawing on the confidence I once had while mingling in Jinshan Jiao. I raised my eyes to look at Yue Qing.
It was a posture of dominance that seemed to say, "Who else but me?"
Yue Qing was momentarily taken aback, realizing that this aura of mine wasn’t nonexistent. I wanted to intimidate her, to make her understand that even if she wanted to kill me, she would have to think twice!
"You..."
Yue Qing opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to say something. I knew that the killing intent I exuded might make her think I was about to attack her.
But upon reflection, I did have reasons to consider eliminating her; after all, her mission was to sabotage my relationship, and there was even an order for her to kill me if necessary.
Yet I would never kill her. Killing Yue Qing would only provoke Qu Youyang and Fang Ying, which would bring me no benefits at all.
"Do you have a conscience?"
My words broke the tension; after all, an aura is just an aura—it's empty. If I remained silent or acted directly, that aura would still hold. But if I intended to argue with Yue Qing verbally, then even if my aura remained strong, it wouldn’t intimidate her anymore.
"Interesting."
Yue Qing smirked after hearing this and patted her ample chest.
"I thought you were really going to kill me."
With a hint of helplessness in her smile, she said this. I couldn’t help but grin back and replied, "I actually did consider it."
"Come on now! Let me tell you something: Fang Zhu Master did indeed assign me the task of ruining your relationship with your girlfriend. And she really did say that if you tried to chase me away, I could kill you. But honestly, that was just a way for her to threaten you; she never truly intended to harm you."
Yue Qing explained.
I chuckled lightly and asked in disbelief, "So how does that count as harming me? Killing your girlfriend?"
Yue Qing raised an eyebrow in question.
I suddenly shivered all over! Damn it!
So that's how it is!
What you said about this situation not being orchestrated by Qu Da is correct; Qu Da didn’t interfere at all—he merely let Fang Zhu Master select a few suitable candidates. But Fang Zhu Master has high hopes for you; she said only you could give the daughter of the Qu Family a good life. So...
Yue Qing continued. I gritted my teeth upon hearing this.
Damn it! They’re setting me up!
But you should know this: you truly meet the Qu Family's standards for a son-in-law, right? There are too many people in Tian Ye Group who know about you; sooner or later, the young lady of the Qu Family will genuinely take an interest in you. When that day comes, how do you think she will handle this situation?
Yue Qing looked at me inquisitively; it seemed she had heard quite a bit from Fang Ying over the past few days.
Did they dare to kill Linna?
A smirk crept onto my lips. Damn it, the Underworld queen, what kind of things can't she do?
Am I being too talkative? But let me tell you, if you remain obstinate, it’s like forcing them to take such drastic measures. The Qing Gang really needs a man from the Qu Family to stir things up right now. Do you know how desperate they are? They will stop at nothing.
Yue Qing said to me.
I fell silent after hearing this. Yes, that’s right. What would the daughters of the Qu Family think?
If it’s best for me, then even if it means destruction, I’ll take that risk. If they kill Linna and I still don’t agree or even resent them for it, then I would be doomed as well.
So everything Yue Qing said was true; if I don’t compromise, it’s equivalent to killing Linna!
And Fang Ying's idea is to break us apart as best as she can, so there wouldn’t be such great resentment.
Thank you for saving my life. Actually, you guessed wrong this time; I won’t interfere with your affairs at all. Even though if Fang Ying finds out that I let things slide, she would kill me, my life was saved by you, so consider it a repayment.
A carefree smile blossomed on Yue Qing's face, as if she felt a bit disillusioned.
But damn it!
Aren’t I also disillusioned?
This situation has escalated beyond control. Honestly, whether Yue Qing looks at me or not doesn’t matter anymore. The choice I face now is either to leave Linna or stay and die with her.
I fell silent. Is there really no solution to this?
That night, I didn’t take Yue Qing home with me. Even though she said sweet things and claimed she could give up her life for me, I couldn’t fully trust her.
Because if there was even the slightest mistake and she recognized Linna, then death would be the only option left for both of us.
I told Yue Qing to wait for me at the Security Company. If Fang Ying asked about me, just say I went to meet Linna.
Yes.
Meet!
Damn it, this life is unbearable!
This is a difficult choice; I can’t let Linna die. She should live happily.
When I returned home, how was that female assassin you saved? Didn’t you go check on her?
As soon as I walked in, Linna smiled and asked me just like usual. I forced a smile in response, trying not to let my sadness show.
I know Linna loves me; I understand her personality too. If I lay everything bare before her, it would only make her unable to forget me.
I went; that female assassin said she likes me and wants to marry me.
I chuckled and said this to Linna. She immediately turned around to look at me with a fierce glint in her eyes!
I sensed danger but couldn’t stop myself.
Xiang Dong! Have you been flaunting yourself since I haven’t dealt with you for a few days? You want to marry her now?
Linna reverted back to her spoiled princess demeanor, speaking sarcastically. I couldn’t help but smile helplessly; heaven knows how much I adore her unreasonable side.
Yes.
I nodded seriously while looking at Linna.
Linna was taken aback on the spot.
What do you mean?
Linna looked at me inquiringly. I smiled helplessly and said: I slept with that female assassin; it felt pretty good.
"Enough!" Linna shouted, grabbing the fruit knife from the coffee table and throwing it at me.
With a whoosh, the knife grazed my cheek as it flew past. I didn’t dodge; I knew Linna was skilled and wouldn’t actually kill me—she was just trying to scare me. But the blade still left a cut on my face, blood slowly trickling down, mirroring the pain in my heart.
"Xiang Dong, what do you mean by this? Why so sudden? What kind of potion did that little vixen give you? Tell me!" Linna yelled at me, tears welling up in her eyes. In all the time I had spent with her, I had only seen her cry over her father's revenge; this was the first time because of me.
"No, it’s mainly because I’ve grown a bit tired of being with you." I endured the sharp pain in my heart and continued, "Maybe being an undercover agent is inherently dangerous. It’s really more suitable for someone to struggle alone without too many ties."
"Maybe one day, if I really bring down Qing Gang, I’ll come back for you, as long as you’re still around."
"Is that true?" Linna looked at me, tears streaming down her face. Her delicate fists were clenched tightly, as if she might strike me at any moment. My heart ached for her; I smiled and nodded, "It’s true."
"Then fine! I'm leaving! I’m getting the hell out of your way!" Linna cursed at me and angrily pushed past me out of the room. I sank into the sofa, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.
She didn’t threaten to kill me like she used to if I messed around outside; she didn’t hit me either—she just muttered a curse. Yet that felt worse than death.
This world is filled with so much helplessness; everyone wants to control their own destiny and do what they desire. But every choice is cruel. I chose to hurt Linna in the most brutal way possible, which only deepened my own wounds. Perhaps without me, Linna would live more peacefully.
And I would stay behind to fulfill what she wanted—and what I wanted too: to destroy Qing Gang and avenge Lin Laoyezi!
That night at midnight, Zheng Yu called me to tell me that Linna had found him and confronted him about my relationship with Yue Qing. She had even lashed out at Zheng Yu, leaving him with a black eye.
I couldn’t help but laugh—it was a helpless laugh. Once Linna calmed down, she would realize there was something off about this situation and would want to investigate further. But she was still angry, and Zheng Yu just happened to become her punching bag.
"Tell her I've been with Yue Qing," I said casually to Zheng Yu. He sounded utterly shocked and asked, "What the hell happened, Dong Ge? I can’t believe this; how could Linna believe it?"
