Qin Shu looked at Chao Yan Manor. It had been less than ten days since her last visit, and it happened to be snowing.
The Sky just brightened, and Chao Yan Manor, which had been snowing the whole night, was covered in thick snow. The scenery was breathtaking.
However, she did not have the leisure to admire the snow-covered Chao Yan Manor. She walked straight to the East Chamber where Chao Yan lived.
She was furious when she found out that it was an assassin from the Crimson Sand Organization.
After a few days of settling down, she calmed down, which was why she came here personally to ask him.
There was a thick layer of snow on the bluestone road, and no one had stepped on it after snow. Qin Shu walked and left a row of her footprints, which were deep and well-proportioned.
She did not see anyone along the way. The red lanterns on the passageway were still lit. The unpruned trees in the yard had reached the eaves of the passage. The snow on the leaves is stained with a tint of red.
Chao Yan’s room was in the main room of the East Chamber.
She stepped on the snow to the carved door and knocked a few times.
She waited for a while, but no one opened the door. She knocked a few more times, yet no one came to open the door.
A hint of doubt flashed through her clear eyes. No matter how soundly Chao Yan slept, it was impossible that he could not hear the knocking.
Could it be that Chao Yan had already left?
She pushed the carved wooden door open with all her might, only to find that the door was not locked.
The curtains were tightly drawn inside the room, and the light was very dim. Qin Shu walked around the screen and saw no one on the rosewood bed.
Chao Yan had left?
On the bed, the quilt looked like someone had just woken up and casually lifted it. It was not put away nor folded neatly. It did not look like the owner of the room had left.
So, Chao Yan did not leave but had just woken up?
Thinking of this possibility, she turned and left the room, walking towards the hexagonal pavilion of the Fallen Moon Lake.
The Sky was getting bright, and the morning air was cold.
‘When she walked to the hexagonal pavilion, she saw someone sitting in the pavilion. His back looked thin, and he was a little skinny. The bandages on the back of his head danced with the cold wind, looking very much like the headband of an ancient scholar. It looked elegant.
‘Who else could it be other than Chao Yan?
Qin Shu walked in and sat on the seat opposite him. She looked at Chao Yan and saw that his face looked pale with the light above her head. She didn’t know whether it was because he didn’t sleep well or that he was sitting here in the cold wind early in the morning.
“Why are you sitting here so early in the morning?”
“Tm waiting for you.” Chao Yan stretched himself. His hands were numb after putting on the stone table and motionless for a long time. So he didn’t try again.
“You knew I was coming, so you also know that something happened to Fu Tingyu, right?” Qin Shu said in an affirmative tone. Chao Yan knew everything indeed. She tightened her hands on the stone table.
Chao Yan nodded. “Yes, I just got the news last night. He was still missing?”
Qin Shu clenched her fists and stood up abruptly. She roared, “The assassin is your subordinate. You knew about the case, and you took it. You knew that something would happen, but you didn’t tell me. Understandably, you had a business to run, but do you treat me as a friend? Now you are pretending to
care about me. Is it necessary?”
Chao Yan sat upright. He tried to say something to comfort her, but he couldn’t say a word.
Seven days had passed, but there was no news about Fu Tingyu. These few days, she suppressed her emotions and had now lost control.
“I’s been seven days, and he seems to have evaporated. There is no news at all. Are you satisfied now? Are you satisfied?” Qin Shu questioned fiercely, her voice choked with sobs, but she suppressed her cries. Her chest felt unusually uncomfortable.
She believed that he wouldn’t hurt Fu Tingyu, that he didn’t know anything about the previous assassination, and that they were good friends,
Now that Fu Tingyu is in trouble again made her extremely regretful. Why didn’t she remove this imminent danger earlier?
Chao Yan stood up and reached out to comfort her. “Baby, he’ll be fine. He’ll definitel
Just as his hand touched Qin Shu’s shoulder, she forcefully shook it off. “Don’t touch me.”
Qin Shu angrily flung it with all her strength. Chao Yan’s body trembled a few times as he tried to stabilize himself. In the end, his knees gave way, and he fell to the ground. He dropped with the overnight tea on the stone table when he fell. The purple clay pot broke into a few pieces, and cold tea splashed
all over him and stained his white cotton clothes.
Qin Shu was stunned for a moment. When she saw Chao Yan fall to the ground, she subconsciously wanted to help him up.
But she thought about how the man had been attacked and fell over the cliff into the cold river, and his life and death were uncertain. And these were all caused by him.
The thoughts of subconsciously wanting to help him instantly disappeared, and instead, killing intent arose.
“Chao Yan, if anyone dares to hurt him, I won’t let them go. It’s useless for you to act pitiful. Right now, I want to kill you.”
Chao Yan’s body stiffened, but he immediately relaxed. His hand moved forward for a while and touched the stone bench next to him. He wanted to use the force to stand up, but he failed the first time. He tried several times before standing up by supporting himself with the stone table.
Qin Shu looked at him coldly. She had just shaken off his hand. It would not cause him to fall. Chao Yan was hood to act like a victim.
After Chao Yan steadied himself, he said, “Just as you said, I had a business to run. There is no reason for me not to take the case. As long as the customer can afford the price, the Death Note will record the name of the target, no matter who it is.”
“Very good, well said. You take your case, and I will take my revenge.” Qin Shu’s eyes were red as she swung her palm at him, hitting him right in the chest. Chao Yan, who could only stand steadily by leaning against the stone table, could not withstand her palm in anger. He was directly sent flying and
crashed into the red pillar behind him. Then, he fell heavily on the cold and hard stone slab, making a loud ‘Bang.’
She had only used 60% of her strength in the palm. So he would only suffer internal injuries and should not have taken his life.
“From now on, we will be enemies if we meet again. I will not show mercy. I will kill every member of the Crimson Sand Organization that I met.”
Qin Shu threw down a severe sentence and walked out of the six-corner pavilion without looking back. She must find the employer who hired the assassin.
The snow was still falling, and Qin Shu’s figure was getting further away.
Chao Yan could not hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood. His face was even paler than the Sky full of snowflakes. Looking at the figure that was getting further and further away, the corners of his mouth twitched as if he was smiling, “Now, you should ease your anger.”
Chao Yan had slept for the past few days and only woke up yesterday afternoon. Only then did Yin Shi have the chance to tell him the news of Fu Tingyu’s case.
Today, he went to Chao Yan’s room early in the morning and didn’t see anyone. He went all the way to the hexagonal pavilion and saw Chao Yan lying on the ground. He ran over quickly and helped him up. He found that his body was as cold as ice.
He never thought that his Master, who had just woken up yesterday, would wake up so early today. He was so scared that his face turned pale. “Master, who hurt you?”
Seeing that the blood on the ground had frozen meant that Chao Yan had been lying on the ground for a long time..
