Killer Chu Qi

  I stuck to the wall, taking advantage of his being stunned by my words to wipe away a cold sweat, and then slowly slid down, planning to crawl out a few steps and make an unexpected escape.

  They're not far from Ming Yan, and that guy should be able to sense that I'm in danger even if he's flirting with his lover.

  The abacus is calculated well, but I ignored who I was facing. He's not a normal person, he's an assassin!

  I had only taken a step forward when his figure appeared in front of me, looking at me with an ambiguous smile that seemed to be hiding something. He crouched down, and although we were at eye level, it felt like he was looking down on me. Without any anger, but rather with a tone of inquiry, he asked: "Where are you going?"

  I forced a smile and lifted my head, anyway I couldn't escape so I might as well not think about it. I sat cross-legged on the ground. At this time, the coolness of the ground actually calmed me down.

  "It doesn't matter where we go, you've also seen that if we move to a different spot, the sun will come out soon and shine right there. It's cooler somewhere else." This was an excuse as well as the truth, anyway he had already figured out my intention, and it seemed like I wouldn't be able to escape.

  I just don't understand, why do all these unlucky things happen to me? But now it's too late to run away, might as well think about it in reverse. I'm not even afraid of ghosts, so what's there to fear from a living person? At worst, I'll just die and be done with it, rather than being anxious and fearful every day.

  My change made Chu Qi somewhat incomprehensible, and her attitude, which was still a bit cold just now, has softened a lot. She turned her head to glance at the sunlight that had just burst in, smiled, "So! By the way, you said my dad told you, what evidence is there? It can't be that you saw my dad's soul, right? This lie is a bit too ridiculous, people all know that on the day of death, the soul will be taken away by the ghost messenger. Moreover, whether or not this world has souls is still being debated."

  I was too lazy to bother with him, so I scratched the stubble on my chin that had grown out without me noticing and said: "Today I'm in charge of doing makeup for his elderly client. He suddenly appeared and scared me half to death, telling me he heard before he died that you received a call from the employer, clearly hearing that the target was me. He said he didn't want you to commit too many sins, so after dying he went down to hell, but asked those below to bring him up specifically to inform me and give me a heads up."

  He didn't believe me, so I'll just tell the truth. With such details, it's impossible that I was eavesdropping; he should remember who was present at the time.

  "Is that all?" He seemed to think I was hiding something and asked again in disbelief.

  I glared at him with a "who, me?" expression, "You think I knew that much? If he hadn't suddenly appeared and told me someone was going to kill me, I wouldn't have been so nervous and dressed in reverse like an idiot."

  I blamed all the things I didn't notice because of my depression on him.

  This time he seemed to have no doubts, smiled and stood up, stretching out his hand in front of me.

  I looked up at him, seemingly without malice, otherwise he wouldn't have patiently said all this to me. I got up with his help, dusting off the dirt on my butt, and stood aside reluctantly, keeping a distance.

  Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Ming Yan who had appeared at some unknown time. She gritted her teeth and looked up at the sky, finally willing to come out. If it weren't for her quick thinking in saving herself, she would have become one of them by now.

  Ming Yan looked at Chu Qi with a hint of difference, and seemed unsure of how to speak, but his eyes were filled with vigilance.

  Chu Qi didn't know about Ming Yan's existence, she just thought I was scared by him, that's why my eyes were darting around. She laughed and said: "It turns out there really is such a thing as a soul, but today I came here just to see the target, as for whether or not to kill you, it still needs to be observed, I don't easily take people's lives."

  Didn't understand what he meant, furrowed his brow in disbelief and asked: "Are you telling the truth?"

  "Of course, let alone today you mentioned my father's orders, even if you didn't mention it I wouldn't have taken action, otherwise could you outrun the bullets with that speed of yours? Moreover, the people above only gave me an order to pay attention to you, there is no formal kill order."

  I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, it was just a false alarm, damn! You scared me to death.

  "You're really a strange woman, I felt you were special the first time I saw you. If possible, I hope you won't be my target but my friend, and also don't disappoint me." Chu Qi's thin lips curled up at the corners, drawing an enchanting smile.

  To me, however, it seems even more eerie than a ghost. I swallowed my saliva and forced out an ugly smile, "Whatever, anyway all my moves are under your surveillance now, just don't kill me, forget about being friends."

  His phone rang, but there was no ringtone, just vibration. He took a glance at it but didn't answer. The smile remained as he nodded slightly, this time the smile looked more genuine, like it came from his heart.

  He leaned in front of me, with a faint scent that was very comfortable to smell. "It's comfortable talking to smart people, I like it."

  The loud laughter echoed in the corridor, and his shadow had already disappeared around the corner.

  And I was already soaked to the bone, slumped against the wall and kneeling on the ground again, my heartbeat almost reaching my throat. Heaven knows how much courage I used to face this in just over ten minutes.

  Yuan Xue stood at a distance, her face looking unwell, and gazed at Ming Yan. She seemed to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent, simply standing guard beside him.
