nThe City of Brisk.

n

n

nThere was not even the sound of the wind during this silent night.

n

n

nBy the time Qiao Qing finished her night study session and her duties for the day, it was already 10 o’clock at night.

n

n

nCasually carrying her backpack on one shoulder and with her other hand inside her pocket, she slowly walked out of the school entrance.

n

n

nAfter passing by the row of delicious smelling BBQ stands, there was a quiet and empty wooded-pathway.

n

n

nThe streetlight hadn’t been maintained for years and merely faint and pale white light shot down.

n

n

nEverything around here was silent, making the sound of footstep distinct and noticeable in comparison.

n

n

nQiao Qing was marching on when she suddenly stopped her footsteps.

n

n

nHer nose wrinkled and the heavy smell of blood rushed over.

n

n

nAs she worked to figure out what was happening, her ankles suddenly tightened. Something had grasped onto them.

n

n

nQiao Qing borrowed the faint light and lowered her head to take a look. A pale hand that was dyed with blood had tightly grabbed onto her ankle.

n

n

nNo wonder she felt a touch of stickiness. Qiao Qing thought to herself.

n

n

nHer gaze shifted upwards a little and followed the arm of the man. What met her gaze was a face so ferocious, it would startle an entire crowd.

n

n

nAs Qiao Qing checked out Jun Yexuan, Jun Yexun, who was lying on the ground, raised his head to look at her.

n

n

nHis lips were thin and light, and his tone was laced with pain, “Save me.”

n

n

nQiao Qing was expressionless. The words she spoke out were emotionless and cold, “I don’t make unprofitable deals. Give me a reason to save you.”

n

n

nJun Yexuan’s inhale sharply stopped. He didn’t think a girl could be as cruel as this. On the other hand, he admired someone who belonged to the same category as him.

n

n

nSo he tossed out a golden temptation, “One hundred million.”

n

n

nEven after his words, Qiao Qing remained quiet and had no indication of making a move.

n

n

nJun Yexuan thought to himself, “Could it be that she finds it too little?”

n

n

nThat would make sense. How could his life only be worth one hundred million?

n

n

nJust as he was about to top up his offer, Qiao Qing’s cool voice arose from above, “I don’t need money.”

n

n

nJun Yexuan was astonished and was in awe that there was someone like this in the City of Brisk. Instantly, he became intrigued.

n

n

nThe blood from the wound on his chest continued to flow. Though he was at risk of losing his life any second now, he had an expression of collectedness.

n

n

nHis lips curled into a demonic smile, “How about I pay you with my own body?”

n

n

nUpon hearing this, Qiao Qing’s expression not only did not seem to waver, it also seemed like her patience had run dry.

n

n

n“Not great.”

n

n

nAfter throwing down this statement, Qiao Qing struggled out of his grasp and left without lingering.

n

n

nJun Yexuan, “…”

n

n

nHe thought he was already ruthless enough and cold enough. He couldn’t believe there would exist someone who was worst than him in those areas.

n

n

nCould it be that he was going to die here today? Jun Yexuan thought mockingly to himself.

n

n

nAt the same time, an idea appeared out of nowhere – if he survives this, he would go find this cold-blooded girl again.

n

n

nAs his consciousness drifted in and out, the sound of footsteps approached. Then, a gentle and as if boneless hand helped him up.

n

n

nLooking at Qiao Qing, who had returned after deciding to leave, Jun Yexuan’s lips curled into a happy shape before passing out peacefully in her embrace.

n

n

nWarm breaths landed on her neck, making Qiao Qing frown. She knocked his head out of the way and walked forward while holding onto him with one arm.

n

n

nBefore long, Qiao Qing stopped again.

n

n

nDuring the several times her eardrums pulsed, four to five men in black had blocked her way. All of them carried killer’s intent with them.

n

n

nQiao Qing felt her head hurt, thinking that she had saved someone troublesome.

n

n

nThe leader in black, Peng Yue, watched over Qiao Qing, “Young friend, leave behind the man and I can spare you your life.”

n

n

nQiao Qing sighed at those words, then purposefully eyed Jun Yexuan. “Your target is him this time?”

n

n

nPeng Yue responded, “That’s not your business.”

n

n

nQiao Qing shook her head, “This person is under my possession so it’s not really up to you.”

n

n

nPeng Yue chuckcled in disdain as if he had heard some kind of joke, “There isn’t anyone in this world who we want to kill but cannot kill!”

n

n

nQiao Qing blew at the bangs before her forehead, “What a coincidence. There isn’t anyone in this world who I want to save but cannot save!”
