518: Chapter 518: Is This Woman Trustworthy?
Xiang Yu’s footsteps were light, a result of professional training.
With the appropriate tools, he could have easily scaled the exterior to the upper floors.
This building had dozens of stories, and climbing up that way would not only take an indeterminate amount of ti but he also had no idea on which floor Liu Lianyu lived.
First, Xiang Yu arrived on the floor where the eting had taken place, then quietly hid in the corridor.
Soon, he heard soone speaking ahead, approaching from the opposite direction.
“Alright, baby, I’ll co see you after today.
I can’t tonight; I’m on duty.
Okay, that’s it.”
The person had just finished the call when the lights in the hallway suddenly went out.
As he was about to curse, a shadow abruptly appeared before him; before he could scream, he felt a sharp pain at his neck, then lost consciousness.
The shadow was none other than Xiang Yu.
He hadn’t intended to kill, but this floor was too important to his operation, and fearing exposure, he opted for a decisive end.
Xiang Yu carelessly threw the man’s body into a room, then headed to the elevator.
Holding a small light, he illuminated the panel with floor numbers.
The traffic from this level was sparse, mostly heading downstairs.
It didn’t take long for Xiang Yu to identify the numbers leading upward.
“Forty-sixth floor,” Xiang Yu confird.
Currently on the teens, he had no choice but to slowly ascend.
As he did, he couldn’t help but curse Liu Lianyu’s ancestors.
Luckily, Xiang Yu had good stamina; otherwise, the climb alone would have left him exhausted.
Since each floor had nightti security, Xiang Yu had to be extrely cautious.
Climbing over thirty floors took him half an hour.
Reaching the forty-sixth floor, Xiang Yu cautiously stepped out from the stairwell.
There were noticeably more security personnel than below.
Although he had made it up, each floor still had many rooms.
Just as Xiang Yu was about to search, two people approached from ahead, chatting quietly and seemingly in high spirits.
Currently dressed in nightwear, Xiang Yu was conspicuously out of place in the corridor.
Being spotted would complicate things.
In a desperate mont, Xiang Yu randomly burst into a room and swiftly shut the door.
No sooner had he barged in, he felt soone watching him.
It was a critical mont, allowing no room for carelessness.
Without a thought, he drew his dagger and turned to rush at the person behind him.
The sequence, from his entry to his charge at the individual behind, took only an instant; the person hadn’t even had the chance to react.
Xiang Yu’s left hand covered the person’s mouth, and his right hand placed the dagger at their throat.
Should Xiang Yu make a move, their life would be over in the next mont.
The person was simply terrified, their eyes wide with tears shimring, clearly scared senseless.
Only then did Xiang Yu see clearly that it was Murong Xue; unexpectedly, she too was staying here.
His grip felt soft warmth, and the fullness pressed against his chest was comfortable.
Although the posture was quite sensual, now was not the ti to consider such things.
Xiang Yu intended to knock out the person, but then Murong Xue suddenly spoke.
“Are you Xiang Yu?” Murong Xue asked in a pitiable voice.
Startled by her recognition because his face was hidden by the nightwear, Xiang Yu realized he couldn’t leave any witnesses alive.
Xiang Yu was not a ditherer; quite the opposite, he was decisive.
Killing was nothing to him, and it carried no psychological burden.
Just as Xiang Yu made up his mind, Murong Xue suddenly spoke up.
“You trust , I won’t harm you.
I’m not like the Sect Hierarch, I was captured by him,” said Murong Xue, looking pitiful.
Xiang Yu naturally wouldn’t believe a woman, especially not at this ti.
Often, won are like poison, a man’s assassin.
Xiang Yu didn’t say anything, just looked at her, hoping she would explain.
“The Sect Hierarch is called Liu Lianyu.
He used to have a girlfriend who died, and I look a lot like her.
To morialize her, he kidnapped and then he cos to talk to every day,” Murong Xue saw the resolute look in Xiang Yu’s eyes.
“Everything I’m saying is true, and in ten minutes he’ll be here.
He talks to for half an hour every day and then leaves,” Murong Xue said with wide, watery eyes that didn’t seem to be lying.
“Where is his room?” Xiang Yu finally asked coldly.
Seeing that Xiang Yu spoke, Murong Xue beca a bit relieved; at least Xiang Yu wouldn’t just kill her without saying anything.
Murong Xue told Xiang Yu Liu Lianyu’s room number, then cautiously said, “You better hide quickly, he’s coming soon.”
Xiang Yu checked his watch, it was already almost three o’clock in the morning.
At this ti, Liu Lianyu wasn’t sleeping but coming here to talk to her; could it be he’s a pervert?
Murong Xue clearly saw the suspicion in Xiang Yu’s eyes and said, “He says that the yin energy is very strong at three o’clock, and Xinyu can hear him.”
Xinyu was the na of Liu Lianyu’s forr girlfriend, and to morialize her, he changed his own na to Liu Lianyu.
Just as Xiang Yu was about to ask a question, suddenly there were footsteps outside.
Xiang Yu gestured with his knife to Murong Xue, then quickly hid behind a cupboard by the door.
If Murong Xue was lying, he would rush out imdiately and kill them both.
Murong Xue took a deep breath and adjusted the expression on her face.
Sure enough, as the ti neared three o’clock, the door to Murong Xue’s room opened, and a person walked in.
This person was sowhat thin, wearing a white nightgown, with very pale skin, as if he was sowhat malnourished.
From inside the small crack, Xiang Yu saw this person; he was the ‘Evil God’ Sect Hierarch, Liu Lianyu.
He was quite handso, only too pale, quite a match for Fang Zheng.
But although Fang Zheng was delicately handso, he still looked like an ordinary person, whereas Liu Lianyu, if he were to walk out in a nightgown in the middle of the night, would definitely scare a bunch of people to death.
“You’re here, I’ve been waiting for you,” Murong Xue hurried forward and wrapped her arms around Liu Lianyu’s arm.
Liu Lianyu looked at her with affection, then hugged her and walked towards the inside, they looked just like a couple.
Xiang Yu hid inside and waited for quite a while, wanting to hear if Murong Xue would betray her.
But Murong Xue just sat there, playing the part of a listener without speaking.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu bit down on his teeth and quietly snuck out.
Actually, Murong Xue had saved him just now.
If it weren’t for Murong Xue opening the door, he would have been exposed, and then the plan would have failed.
Xiang Yu walked out, then headed to the room Murong Xue had indicated.
Liu Lianyu’s room wasn’t locked, and the door was open.
Xiang Yu slipped in easily.
Inside, it was very simple and lacked the extravagant decoration of the outside.
Only in a corner was there a safe that was very eye-catching, with a combination lock on it.
Seeing this, Xiang Yu was sowhat taken aback.
He was not a professional thief and had no clue how to unlock this type of lock…
