Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

"Ren Ying..."

"Hmm, sister-in-law..."

Within Yanhuang Soul, Ren Ying and Lei Xiaolei returned following the operation against East Gate,

their goal was to secretly inform Fan Lingtian of the Fragrant Spirit Pill's method of production. This time, many captives were brought back. Upon learning about this, Fan Lingtian understood why the people of Red Butterfly were so difficult to capture, preferring death over capture, afraid of this painful corrosion.

However, Xiaofan already told Ren Ying how to handle it, and Ren Ying only secretly informed Fan Lingtian alone.

This wasn't because Xiaofan already discovered there were spies inside Yanhuang Soul, but because he didn't want too many people knowing his affairs; if any word got out, he and his brothers would be in grave danger.

Aside from the Fragrant Spirit Pill, Ren Ying also stayed at Yanhuang Soul for a few days, trying to see if he could extract meaningful clues from the captured individuals. If he did, he would immediately inform Xiaofan.

Clues were indeed obtained, but when Ren Ying contacted Li Kuo to inform about the South Gate situation, it was already too late.

The main force at South Gate had already returned to Red Butterfly, leaving only some outer members to keep up appearances. Even if they surrounded them, it would likely be fruitless.

South Gate definitely needed dealing with, but it's not Ren Ying and Lei Xiaolei's concern; they must promptly return to XG to assist Xiaofan as needed.

But just as the two were about to leave Yanhuang Soul, Shen Zuimo suddenly appeared.

And Ren Ying called out "sister-in-law."

Have these guys already agreed? Calling sister-in-law while also calling sister-in-law, who says I have to marry that rascal?

"You returned, but where is he?"

"He? Xiaofan... He has some matters and won't be back temporarily."

"Did he die?" Shen Zuimo worried something happened to him, fearing Ren Ying and the others were purposely hiding it.

"How could it be? If he died, then we surely wouldn't have survived either," Lei Xiaolei said from the side.

"Where exactly is he, doing what?" Shen Zuimo continued to inquire.

"He, Xiaolei, she's asking you, I'm leaving first." Ren Ying was never good at communicating, especially in such a situation where he couldn't speak openly, so he chose to evade.

"Hey, why are you leaving like that? Wait for me..."

"Lei Xiaolei..."

"Here." Xiaolei also wanted to slip away but was halted by the icy voice of Shen Zuimo: "Hey, Xiaofan said that if you really asked, just say... he is in your heart. I'm leaving, Ren Ying, wait for me."

In your heart?

Shen Zuimo's expression remained icy cold, yet her heart inexplicably skipped a beat.

In her heart? Could it be that there's truly a place for him in her heart? If not, what's the reason behind her intense desire to know where he is?

With graceful steps, Shen Zuimo walked straight towards Fan Lingtian's office.

Meanwhile, inside Fan Lingtian's office, Shen Junjie arrived concerning some matters.

"Elder Fan, why was the operation against the Red Butterfly South Gate suddenly halted? Shouldn't we increase the intensity? The industry entangled in Guangdong Guangxi is extensive, giving them breathing room might result in them gathering massive funds quickly," Shen Junjie came immediately for clarification upon hearing about the halt at South Gate.

"It's Xiaofan's idea; the information Li Kuo sent back suggests South Gate shouldn't be touched for now, don't worry about the funds, have someone closely follow the flow accounts, they can't escape."

"What exactly is Xiaofan planning?" Hearing it was Xiaofan's idea, Shen Junjie understood.

"That guy is so meticulous, he must have his reasons, we don't need to worry. Plus, with him directing, it saves us a lot of effort; hehe, my brain cells are slowly recovering lately as well, no more hair loss," Fan Lingtian chuckled softly.

"How far along is he now?"

"He should have infiltrated a certain position within Red Butterfly by now; just hope he's cautious inside Red Butterfly and stays safe, definitely no mishaps, considering Red Butterfly..."

"Ahem." As Shen Junjie spoke, he suddenly coughed twice.

Fan Lingtian immediately stopped talking, and a knocking was heard at the same time.

"Come in."

The door swung open, Shen Zuimo walked in softly, then upon seeing the two bewildered faces looking at her, Shen Zuimo knew she'd come at the wrong time.

Oh well, asking wouldn't yield answers, better not inquire.

"You two carry on with your discussion." After throwing out this line, Shen Zuimo closed the door and walked downstairs.

Leaving Shen Junjie and Fan Lingtian in the room staring at each other.

"Did she hear anything?"

"Probably not."

"Ugh, these two kids make me anxious watching them. What is this situation? Junjie, I'm telling you, regardless of what girls are around Xiaofan, you mustn't hinder him and your sister, they've faced too many obstacles, don't interfere."

"Ah, if only I could interfere; truth is, only Xiaofan can accomplish so much, anyone else I wouldn't trust," Shen Junjie sneered.

Downstairs, Shen Zuimo walked absent-mindedly, murmuring as she walked: "Everyone is hiding something, is it just Ye Xiaofan? What's so secretive, this lady isn't that interested."

Meanwhile, on the mountain slope beside the Yanhuang Soul base, a man was secretly training alone. His movements, his techniques were extremely swift and fierce yet definitely not of Yanhuang Soul's martial arts.

The fierce techniques seemed deadly with each move, his figure fast yet orderly.

'Shoo, shoo, shoo.'

After a series of actions, the man suddenly threw several toothpicks, but the toothpicks failed to hit the target, precise strength, yet veered far off course.

"Seems Ye Xiaofan's secret technique isn't easy to learn, this guy is quite unconventional using toothpicks to kill people. After all this time probing, still can't master precision, against him in combat, what odds do I have? Zhu Fan, Zhu Fan, you better toughen up, don't let Red Butterfly collapse, I'm waiting to play a role here."

After muttering a few lines, as if realizing someone was approaching from the bottom of the mountain, the man's figure vanished instantly, leaving no trace, like he never even appeared.

About half a minute after the man left, two others arrived at the mountain slope.

"Hey, odd, I was sure I heard someone training just now, right, He Qiang?"

"Ugh, no matter who it was, training his, we train ours, when the boss returns, we'll definitely give him a big surprise."

"Alright, let's do it."
