Chapter 41: The Shadow's Home

  Several people arrived at the agreed-upon café one after another, and Ying was surprisingly the first to arrive. Lian Xi followed closely behind and entered the café, hesitating for a moment before sitting down in the seat next to Ying. "Ying, what do you think?"

  "Miss Lianxiu, did you rest well last night?" Ying didn't answer Lianxiu's question and instead changed the subject.

  Lian Yu hesitated for a moment before responding with "Mm...I'm fine..." The two of them sat quietly without saying another word until Qiao Jia and Lan Yu appeared.

  "Sorry, I'm late. How long have you guys been here?" Lan Yu greeted Lian Xi and Ying politely. Qiao Jia followed behind him with a dazed expression, her heavy black eye circles and lifeless eyes indicating that she hadn't slept well last night, or maybe not at all...

  "Qiao Jia, what's wrong?" Qiao Jia's body swayed and felt like she was about to fall over. Lian Xi quickly got up and supported her, "Come, sit down..." Actually, Lian Xi was also very tired and weak...

  "Lanxi, your complexion doesn't look good either. Didn't you rest well? I'll take care of Qiaojia... " Lan Yu supported Qiaojia to the front of the seat and let her sit down to rest.

  "Alright, let's make it quick and then head back home to rest. We've only got three days left until the next game..."

  Lian Yu's words made Qiao Jia shudder, and she suddenly widened her eyes. "So, that means we only have three days to live?! Is that right?!" Qiao Jia burst into tears and threw herself into Lan Yu's arms, wailing loudly. Then, she abruptly stood up and shouted at Ying Da, "Please, can't you spare our lives?"

  Everyone in the coffee shop heard Qiao Jia's words and looked at them. Lian Xi reacted quickly, seeing the expressions of the people around her, Lian Xi stood up "Sorry everyone, my sister was stimulated a few days ago, I hope we didn't disturb you... really sorry..." Lian Xi bowed to apologize to the people around her, and the gazes of the people around also gradually moved away from them.

  "It seems that from now on, we can't discuss things here anymore... After all, if others hear about the game content, they'll be pulled into the game too. Let's not harm anyone else... Moreover, a situation like just now is likely to cause panic and unnecessary trouble..."

  "Lan Ye said it right! It seems that in the future we need to find a slightly more secluded place to discuss...” Lan Yu nodded silently.

  "Alright, let's set off now. I'll take you to a place." The shadow stood up, "Don't ask me any questions for now, you'll know when we get there. Let's go..."

  Ying walked out of the coffee shop, and Lian Xi followed without thinking. Lan Yu had no choice but to support Qiao Jia and walk over as well. "Ying, drive my car!" he said, tossing the keys to Ying and pointing to the nearby BMW.

  Zhou Yiran has his own advertising company, although the scale is not large, but the annual salary is also millions, and it can be considered a new generation of potential stocks. For this reason, Zhou Yiran's personality has some arrogance.

  "BMW, not bad! Alright, just don't make me pay for it if you scratch it..." Ying took the keys and the four of them got in the car. The car started moving slowly, Lian Xi sat in the front passenger seat, while Lan Yu put his arm around Qiao Jia in the backseat.

  "Qiao Jia, why don't you take a nap?" Qiao Jia nodded lightly and rested her head on Lan Yu's leg, falling asleep in just a few minutes. She was very quiet, it seemed that she had been exhausted these past few days...

  Ling Yu closed her eyes, planning to rest for a while, and unknowingly fell into a deep sleep. This sleep was particularly sound, although there was no comfortable bed, but it was exceptionally relaxing. She slept until she woke up naturally.

  Lian Yu opened her eyes and looked out of the car window. The sky had already darkened. "How did I fall asleep? It's so late! Haven't we arrived yet?"

  "We arrived a long time ago, but we didn't wake you up because you and Qiao Jia were sleeping so soundly... Look, Qiao Jia is still asleep..."

  Lian Xi turned her head back, and Qiao Jia was still lying quietly on Lan Yu's leg, her complexion much better than when they first met. Lian Xi woke up and found that their car had stopped in front of a villa, she knew it was the most luxurious villa area in the city.

  "Here?"

  "Don't be surprised, this is my home!" Ying said with a proud smile. As soon as Ying spoke, Lan Yu was shocked again. He had thought that he was one of the few rich people among his peers, but Ying could actually afford to buy a villa in such a small district?! This was too unbelievable.

  "Don't be surprised, I bought this a long time ago. If you don't mind, the three of you can move in and live here, there's plenty of space and many guest rooms, it would be more convenient for us to live together..."

  Indeed, as an assassin, it's not surprising that he can afford a villa here, but Lian Xi was still surprised. In his mind, he had always thought that assassins would never have a fixed residence, even if they had a lot of money, they wouldn't easily buy a luxurious mansion somewhere. Ying really is special... If Lian Xi knew one day that this villa was actually bought by Ying after he found out that Lian Xi lived in Y city, specifically for the purpose of being able to see Lian Xi not just in his nightmares, but also to be able to protect him at all times... Lian Xi would probably be even more surprised.

  "Shadow, you mean... you won't kill us and are willing to cooperate with everyone?"

  Ying didn't say a word, just slightly tapped the corner of his mouth. Ying's smile was already the best answer. If Ying was willing to unite and cooperate with them, his chances of survival would naturally increase...

  "Let's go in and take a look! Brother Lan Yu, you can also carry Qiao Jia into the house to sleep!" As he spoke, Ying opened the car door.

  A few people walked into the villa of Shadow. It was luxurious, and no other words could describe it. Lian Xi had never seen such a beautiful and large villa, even bigger and more luxurious than the one in his last nightmare's hidden task. Although the interior decoration was simple, with only some essential furniture, it still couldn't suppress the grandeur of the house itself.

  Actually, I've only been to this house once when viewing it, so this is my second time here. There was no time to add any decorations or furniture, just getting some daily necessities with the help of a younger brother from the organization. I haven't even had a chance to inspect everything yet... But now that I look around, everything seems so simple and elegant, revealing a sense of refinement and serenity everywhere. It makes me feel very comfortable and at ease. I'm really satisfied.

  Lan Yu couldn't help but wonder how much "wealth" Ye's profession had brought him, as he placed Qiao Jia on the sofa. Lan Yu had never seen such a luxurious house before, and it was always his goal and dream to have one like this.
