Hualian'er actually got up. The leader in black gave her a cold look but showed no surprise at all.
Fine, I see. So you guys can take turns like this?
Hualian'er wiped the blood off her head and flashed a sneer as devilish as it could be. To be honest, such an expression didn't suit a rather good - looking girl like her.
I looked at Hualian'er and took a silent step back. This ominous feeling was intensifying.
Hualian'er turned to look at me, her eyes brimming with glee.
"You've finally fallen into my hands. Take him to the altar. I'll handle things here."
The leader in black's words made Hualian'er roll her eyes dramatically. "I've told you before that such a person mustn't be spared. Sooner or later, he'll be a trouble. Do you think your Holy Son is a good guy? He just had good luck being born into the right family."
I thought to myself, Miss, you've got a point. It is quite important to be born into a good family.
I looked at Number One beside me and, on impulse, shouted, "Come on, you don't have to worry about me. Just go."
Number One simply ignored me. Dude, you're being a bit too cold, aren't you?
Hualian'er rolled her eyes mockingly. "Who do you think you are? If it weren't for your past - life connection with him, do you think he'd even bother with you?"
Wait a minute. What do you mean by a past - life connection with him?
I raised my eyebrows curiously and looked at Hualian'er. Seeing my lecherous look, Hualian'er rolled her eyes and was about to turn away.
"Wait. Explain it clearly."
I was about to say more when Hualian'er flashed a seductive smile.
I really wanted to tell her, girl, this kind of seductive smile doesn't suit you at all. Don't follow the trend and imitate things that don't match you.
"Look who's coming?"
Hualian'er's eyes were full of tenderness. It would have been better if that tenderness didn't come with gritted teeth.
I looked at the man in front and sighed silently. What could I say? Should I say, dude, can you just stay away? I just wanted to say that this guy was really annoying.
"Stop there for a moment."
I took two steps forward, about to walk towards him, but Hualian'er grabbed me back. Her eyes were filled with jealousy.
Why are you jealous of me, a guy? You're such a beautiful girl.
"I knew you were here for him."
Hualian'er pressed a long, slender willow - leaf knife against my throat. I had no doubt that this sharp blade could glint even in the darkness.
With just a gentle movement of her finger, I'd be completely finished. I forced a bitter smile and raised my hands.
Hualian'er was like a poor, bullied child as she grabbed my throat. "Don't move. Why does everyone bully me? You approached me just to use me, right?"
"Wait. Dude, what's with that look in your eyes? Don't tell me your old problem is acting up again?"
The fat guy's voice came from the side. A blood - stained figure emerged from the darkness.
I felt a bit embarrassed looking at the fat guy. "Fatty, you're still alive?"
The fat guy rolled his eyes. "Even if you die, I won't. Let me tell you, we'll settle this later. This guy over there is quite reliable now that he's back to normal."
I sized the guy up and nodded. "Let's hope so."
"What do you mean 'let's hope so'? He went crazy just trying to get to you just now. I think you should stop liking Yan Yan and go for Officer Chen instead. Even though cops are busy, they're still nice guys."
There came a shrill noise from the side. I looked at Yan Yan fighting with someone over there and seriously wondered if he had heard something.
I looked at the fat guy. The fat guy blinked his eyes as if he hadn't heard anything, played with the thing in his hand, and said something smugly to me.
"I think Officer Chen is really nice. What do you think? He's rich, and just seeing the way he ran towards you, I was almost touched. Even though we've known each other for so many years, I didn't look that anxious just now."
"That's your problem, not mine. Don't impose your opinions on me. Who gave you the guts to make up stories about me?"
The fat guy had a million things to say, but in the end, it was all just nonsense.
"Hurry up!"
The fat guy grinned and walked over step by step. If I hadn't seen the blood all over him, he would have looked like a villain about to do something to the pretty girl.
As the fat guy walked over, he flashed a smile. "Little girl, look at your fat brother. Why do you keep staring at our kid? Your fat brother is also very nice, you know."
I thought to myself, can you be any more disgusting?
The little girl seemed to be quite disgusted by him too. She rolled her eyes and was about to leave, but the fat guy blocked her way.
The fat guy looked at Officer Chen with a smile and said, "Hurry up. I only have one thought now, to solve this matter quickly. You deal with your ex - girlfriend. I won't interfere anymore, okay?"
Officer Chen nodded. "Apologize."
He said it simply, then took his ex - girlfriend's hand and was about to leave. I felt mixed emotions standing behind. I really didn't understand why he seemed to value me so much when I didn't even look like A Jin.
"He doesn't even look like your ex. Is it just because he's someone your ex cares about?"
Well, in a way, Hualian'er had asked the question that was on my mind. It's just that the way she asked it was a bit off.
What does it mean by "Is it just because he's someone your ex cares about"? This question is a bit hard to understand today.
I looked at Hualian'er and the others in confusion. The fat guy looked as if he had heard some shocking news and said incredulously, "I think I've found something strange. Something's not right."
The fat guy quickly took a step forward, stared into my eyes, and asked tentatively, "Why do I always feel that something's odd? Tell me, are you some kind of joker sent by monkeys?"
I rolled my eyes and didn't say a word, but at the same time, I realized something.
"Fatty."
My throat was dry and hoarse, and I just blurted out, "Do you think there's any connection between me and A Jin?"
The fat guy shook his head. "No connection at all."
"You did see that he cares about me just now, right?"
The fat guy nodded. "Yes, he couldn't care more about you. I've never seen him treat anyone like this. You know, our boss never shows his emotions easily."
I looked at Yan Yan fighting with someone over there and the silent black - clothed men who didn't seem ready to act. I seriously wondered if these people had some special scruples about the Holy Son or something.
