Chapter 850: The Gold-Medal a.s.sa.s.sin Was You?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The man felt a little despondent against her guarded att.i.tude. “No matter how busy he is, he should be with you,” he told her.
He paused for a moment and added, “However, I still don’t like to see him by your side when I meet you. He’s a bit of an eyesore.”
Qin Shu didn’t quite know how to respond to his statement.
The man looked up at the moon above and asked her, “According to news reports, scientists have predicted that tonight’s moon will be the biggest and brightest in the past few years. Help me take a look; see if they are right.”
Qin Shu lifted her head to look at the moon. She did not need to look to know that it was bigger and brighter than usual because the night sky was brighter today than most.
“Yes, the moon is very big and bright,” she agreed.
The man could only imagine the bright night sky because to him, it didn’t make a difference.
Qin Shu turned her head to look at the man and realized that he was facing the moon as if he could see it. She thought of what he said earlier and asked him casually, “You just said that someone asked for your contact information, but she died?”
Probably not expecting her to ask this question, the man could not help but cover his mouth and laugh. “What do you think?” he asked her.
“I think it’s true,” Qin Shu replied.
“You are so sure?” probed the man.
“You’re the head of the Crimson Sand Organization. How can there be no blood on your hands? The death notes only recognize money and not people.”
The man did not deny this because she was speaking the truth.
“The girl who asked for your contact information was quite unlucky. She just wanted to hook up with a handsome guy, but ended up losing her life,” Qin Shu stated.
The man tilted his head, about to burst into laughter once again. “How are you so certain that it was a girl?” he questioned.
Qin Shu asked, “Isn’t it?”
The man smiled but did not say anything.
The man didn’t answer, and Qin Shu didn’t ask further. If it was really a man, it was normal that he didn’t want to talk about it.
“When the Crimson Sand Organization was first established, were you an a.s.sa.s.sin?” she asked.
Her reason for asking was because she felt the Crimson Sand Organization couldn’t recruit so many top-notch a.s.sa.s.sins when they had just been established. As the leader, the possibility of him personally doing the deed was also very high.
The man was stunned for a while. He realized that every time Qin Shu asked a question, it was a little out of his expectations.
He nodded. “Yes.”
Qin Shu was a little taken aback that he was so straightforward. She suddenly remembered that the number one a.s.sa.s.sin on the list of a.s.sa.s.sins, codenamed Chao Yan, was the Crimson Sand Organization’s gold-medal a.s.sa.s.sin.
Five years ago, Chao Yan had been ranked first on the list with his achievements. No one could surpa.s.s him.
“Why hasn’t there been any news about your gold-ranked a.s.sa.s.sin, Chao Yan?” asked Qin Shu.
The man looked at her with a smile. “He’s not taking orders anymore. Naturally, there’s no news,” he replied.
Qin Shu nodded to show that she understood. She looked at him again. After sizing him up, she asked curiously, “Then what was your code name when you were an a.s.sa.s.sin?”
The man held back his laughter and asked, “Why do I feel like you’re trying to trick me?”
Qin Shu was stunned. She was just making conversation out of curiosity. She never meant to interrogate him.
Recalling her questions, it indeed sounded like an interrogation.
She felt that it was necessary to explain. “I’m just curious. If you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you to.”
“Chao Yan,” the man stated.
“Huh?” Qin Shu stared at the man in confusion. She then realized that he was answering the last question.
Chaoyan?
Gold-medal a.s.sa.s.sin?
She looked at the man in disbelief. “You’re the gold-medal a.s.sa.s.sin, Chaoyan?”
She had always thought that Chaoyan was a woman!
She did not expect it to be him.
Chao Yan asked, “Do you think that this code name is very feminine?”
Qin Shu smiled and asked him back, “Morning Glory, alias Chaoyan. What do you think?”
Chao Yan covered his mouth and laughed, saying, “I still like it.”
Qin Shu was a little surprised. A man who liked morning glory.
She suddenly remembered the villa where she first met him. There were also purple trumpet-shaped flowers planted in the greenhouse. At first, she thought it was the sunset glory. She belatedly realized now that it must have been morning glory.
Chao Yan said, “At that time, I also disliked this name. However, you said that it has a good meaning.”
The flower language of the morning glory meant that reputation and love would last forever.
The face that would never fade in the twilight, the warmth that would never be lost in life.
The symbol of the morning glory flower was tenacity. It had an unyielding spirit and a strong desire to survive. This was the true value and meaning of life.
Qin Shu was stunned. If that was the case, there was no need for him to lie to her. Which also meant to say that they had a good relations.h.i.+p before?
Otherwise, why would she have given him a name and said that it implied good things?
Because of this, she was even more curious about the past, the lost memories of more than three years.
Chao Yan realized that he had been a little talkative. A gust of night wind blew, bringing with it a cold chill. He reminded her, “It’s already very late. Let’s go back.”
Qin Shu realized that she had been standing there and chatting with him for quite a while. Ye Luo would probably be thinking that something had happened to her.
She was about to turn around and leave when she felt a tug on her sleeve. She looked down and saw a hand grabbing her clothes.
That hand had long slender fingers with well-defined joints. Under the moonlight, it looked excessively white.
At this moment, she heard Chao Yan say, “I’ll send you back.”
“There’s no need.” Qin Shu looked up at him. “Where do you live?”
Chao Yan smiled. Instead of answering her question, he asked her, “Is it because you know that I can’t see, so you want to send me back?”
Qin Shu was hesitant. “Where is Yin s.h.i.+?” she asked.
Chao Yan paused. “He…”
Yin s.h.i.+, who had been hiding in the dark, tried his best to hold his breath and be as inconspicuous as he could.
“I’ve arranged for him to do other things,” said Chao Yan.
Qin Shu thought for a moment and said, “Let’s go.”
Chao Yan was puzzled. “What?” he asked.
“I’ll send you back,” Qin Shu told him.
This caught Chao Yan by surprise. “Okay,” he replied.
Qin Shu didn’t walk very fast, especially since there was a threshold in front of them. She even kindly reminded him.
“Be careful of the threshold,” she cautioned.
“Okay.” Chao Yan carefully stepped over it.
Qin Shu reminded him again, “We’re going down the steps now. Take it slow.”
“Okay.” Chao Yan followed her footsteps and walked down the stairs at a moderate pace.
Boss Ba followed behind.
After walking down the stairs, Qin Shu turned back to look at Chao Yan. Her gaze fell on the hand that was grabbing her sleeve. It was very pale with k.n.o.bby joints. She could not imagine that these hands had killed someone before.
Walking on the street of the moat, both of them maintained the same posture as before and walked along at a modest pace.
Chao Yan grabbed Qin Shu’s sleeve. Although it was pitch black in front of him, he walked very smoothly.
After walking for a short while, she asked, “Are you staying at Fengyue Inn?”
Chao Yan nodded. “Yes. Are you staying there too?” he asked.
“Yes,” Qin Shu replied. She looked up and saw that the stone arch bridge was getting closer and closer. Upon reaching it, she reminded him, “We are at the stone arch bridge. Slow down.”
“Okay,” Chao Yan replied.
Qin Shu waited for him to set foot on the stone arch bridge before she continued walking.
The stone arch bridge was not long. It did not take long for them to cross it.
Once they hit the level road, it was much more convenient to walk well..
