Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

Speaking of the first day in the Capital City, one must mention a person, and that person is the disciple of the Swallows: Li San.

The moment I got off the plane, he lifted my wallet. His nimble skills are truly exceptional.

After first meeting Li San, naturally, it was off to my second uncle's house. Then it was about how I got to know Chen Mei'Er.

Ye Weiwei and Ye Shaolong's disdain for Xiaofan made Liu Siyan very displeased when she heard it. But she also sensed a faint sadness in Xiaofan's heart.

The encounter with Chen Mei'Er and everything that happened, Liu Siyan had already heard about from Chen Mei'Er herself. When Xiaofan recounted it again, it confirmed that Chen Mei'Er didn't lie at all.

Then, he contacted Li Kuo to help investigate the Red Butterfly and the Yanhuang Soul. That's when he heard a startled cry in the alley and mistakenly saved Ren Ling, only to be struck down.

Immediately following was the combat tournament. Liu Siyan was somewhat involved in helping Xiaofan secure an advertising contract for the tournament.

During the tournament, Xiaofan met Lei Xiaolei, Tang Tianyou, Ren Ying, and others, and got to know Li San further. Before the final match, he was found by Ren Ling's grandmother. It was that night Xiaofan realized the profound martial arts Ren Chongtian had perfected.

And the reunion with Shen Zuimo happened after the tournament when Ye Dahe was attacked by an assassin. The Yanhuang Soul sent people to guard, and Xiaofan stepped forward, leading to their encounter. However, she had forgotten him.

In pursuit of the truth, Xiaofan took risks and, with Lei Xiaolei's help, reached the cliff at the back mountain of Yanhuang Soul. He innovated a technique of the Yanhuang Soul.

The events unfolded step by step.

Hearing all that Xiaofan had sacrificed for Shen Zuimo, she wasn't jealous at all; instead, she felt even more that Xiaofan was a man of deep emotions and loyalty.

Of course, upon hearing that the assassination order was targeting Xiaofan, Liu Siyan felt her heart leap in worry. Even though Xiaofan was lying safely by her side, just thinking about the assassins lurking at every corner made Liu Siyan worry even more for Xiaofan.

It turns out he began distancing himself from me back then, not even contacting me anymore.

Facing the Ren family's forced marriage, Xiaofan was completely uncontrollable, and after forming a real relationship with Ren Ling, the thirty years of hidden power within him finally successfully integrated with Xiaofan himself.

But then Li Kuo's parents went missing, later with his father murdered, and his mother heavily injured. Chen Mei'Er was kidnapped. All of this was just the beginning.

The enemies lurk in the shadows, while we are exposed. Continuing like this, sooner or later, Xiaofan might die in an unprepared state. Rather than wait to perish, it's better to turn the tables on them.

One hand alone cannot clap; Xiaofan must have companions to help. Among the like-minded and entirely trustworthy people he knew, there were just a few, including Li San, Li Kuo, Ren Ying, Han Shengjun, Xiaolei, and others. Xiaofan could completely entrust his safety to them.

Returning to Delayed Soul, the group continued investigating Red Butterfly while training to enhance their own strength.

The main reason for all this was not Xiaofan's fear of the assassination order's pursuit but instead for Shen Zuimo to have a beautiful future.

Finally, Li Kuo uncovered XG's Dongwu Group as Xiaofan's ultimate target.

Before leaving, Xiaofan had to settle his personal affairs.

There's no reasoning with Ren Ling, and Chen Mei'Er is far too clever to be fooled. However, Xiaofan also recognizes the gravity of the danger this time. So, if he can deceive anyone, he might as well try.

"So, it turns out I was the most foolish one..." Liu Siyan said with a pained look upon hearing this.

"You're not foolish; you just love too deeply and are afraid of losing."

"Get lost, you shameless jerk."

"Hahaha..."

"But maybe it's also because my will wasn't strong enough. If I had insisted on believing in your character, it wouldn't have turned out like this." Liu Siyan slightly blamed herself.

Chen Mei'Er could blindly trust Xiaofan, yet at that time, she only felt heartache and couldn't think of anything else. Even after Meng Ying came to counsel her, without a conclusion, she slowly chose to let herself fall.

At XG, to better hide, Xiaofan, Li San, and others wore human skin masks and used false names for their actions.

Meeting Li Sisi and Feng Feifei happened purely by chance and wasn't part of the plan.

But Xiaofan didn't hide that his relationship with Li Sisi had surpassed that of employer and bodyguard, and with Feng Feifei, he was also entirely forthcoming, without any hesitation.

"I told you, you'd be drawn to that woman named Feng Feifei. Looks like I guessed right." Promised not to be jealous, but she still felt a bit upset; this guy, handling his dealings, but why the need to flirt?

The competition here was already intense enough, yet he brought two more back. Truly a guy unafraid of stirring up trouble.

Next, the battle of wits and bravery against Red Butterfly and Zhu Fan began.

The perilous situations described left Liu Siyan utterly tense. Particularly after Xiaofan was poisoned with a nerve toxin, Liu Siyan's heart ached immensely.

Though Xiaofan achieved the final victory, it came at a heavy price. Though he was rescued, his inner strength was completely depleted.

This was why Xiaofan was injured and bled the night Liu Siyan got drunk.

This was the entirety of Xiaofan's story over the past two years. In just two years, this guy wavered at the edge of life and death many times. Even under the immense pressure of the assassination order, he still considered others. And even when departing for XG for a deadly battle, he thought of nothing but protecting himself.

What reason is there to be headstrong? What reason is there to be angry? What reason is there not to love him properly?

"Can you show me your wounds?"

"Huh?"

"What huh? Take it off."

"No, and here I was thinking up excuses to take my shirt off, but I didn't expect this to be the best reason."

"Get lost. Let me see..."

"Maybe it's better not to look... "

"No, I must see."

Helplessly, unable to argue against Liu Siyan, he could only gently unbutton his shirt, revealing the scars on his shoulder.

Under the light, the sight of those startling scars left Liu Siyan stunned. His back had several bullet wounds, with countless knife scars beyond that...

Softly touching them, Liu Siyan's tears rolled down, "Xiaofan... does it hurt?"
