The noise of birds chirping could be heard tangling with the sound of wind on leaves, apart from the song of nature no other sound could be heard as the vicinity was as quiet as a grave yard.
The camouflaged building standing in the midst of the woods also didn't seem to have a life in it.
somewhere in the woods were a group of people quietly observing the house like a hawk to it's prey.
"boss" a young man walked out of the direction of the house to where the men were
"How is it?" the man masked in a red phoenix Mark said coldly
The expression of the young man looked complicated and he answered with an awkward look on his face "the situation is the same, everyone here is dead too"
although the mask covered his face, his clouded eyes still showed how his temperament dropped a few degrees, the man didn't seem to believe or maybe he wanted to confirm thing himself cause he took long heavy strides to the house while the bodyguards-like men followed closely behind him.
when they entered the building, the whole arena was in a total disarray, furnitures broken and scattered everywhere, bodies of dead men also littered the floor like dried leaves fallen from a tree.
Slowly and gently the masked man removed the man from his face revealing the perfectly toned face aligned with extraordinary features and astonishing handsomeness.
Zi yichen looked puzzled and suspicious, this event had played out repeatedly throughout the whole week, everytime he had a Target and made a move, he always found out that he was seconds late cause someone had wiped out his targets for him.
The most suspicious part was that, every information he was intending to gather would be arranged neatly for him before he came, if felt like someone was helping do the dirty work for him but he didn't know who.
whosoever was doing it had very cruel and decisive methods cause the faces of the dead people still held the shock and fright they experienced before they died.
no matter how he tried he couldn't find out who was doing it, he really wanted to know what the motive of the person was.
if only he could find out who it was...
while the handsome Lord broke hell asunder looking for his 'dark Knight', the culprit had long returned to the hotel, reading the news feed on her phone while chewing lazily on a box of chicken nuggets.

[Shi zeyi arrested for murder!]
this was the the topic ranking top search when she opened the internet, it had gained a lot of attention in the past few days. Lu yao yin had been so busy the past few days that she couldn't browse the internet if not she would have seen this piece of news before now.
She intriguingly opened the news and began reading it.
A few days ago Shi zeyi was arrested when the footage of him shooting a lady in a warehouse was released to the public. at first nobody could tell who the lady was but then videos and pictures of him abducting Shi yunya from her apartment were also uploaded
[he actually killed his sister!]
[I know right! how cruel could he be?! why did he even do that?]
[didn't you guys hear? they've been sleeping with eachother all along! I'm sure he did it cause he couldn't bear the shame when everyone found out!]
[I don't believe that is why, there must have been other reasons for him to kill her so cruelly]
[what other reason? he's simply just a beast! did you see how he beat her up on the day they were caught, I almost felt pity for her]
[I don't care what other reasons he had but he must go to jail!]
[I support that too! I heard his court trial is coming up soon]
[can't wait to see how the motherf*cking b*stard tries to clear his name, cause I heard he's still denying it]
Lu yao yin didn't look again and just changed it, she already knew how this episode would end and was very much content with it.
If only other people would pick the hint of what happened to Lu shenqi and now Shi zeyi then relate it to her, they might really learn not to double-cross her but surely there would be other human tired of their existence.
She was still scrolling through her phone when the door opened and then Zi yichen walked in with his favorite subordinates Ah Chen and Ah Han.
"you're back?" she looked up surprised, for a few days back he had been coming late but today he was quite early.
"hmm" he hummed softly, somehow seeing her eased all the stress he was feeling, he really couldn't explain the feeling.
"you should go freshen up, I ordered dinner already"
He wasn't surprised by her actions cause that was how it has been like for days, most times he was back even after she had slept but she would always order dinner waiting for him. He really felt at home with her.
The poor single men in the room felt stuffed up with dog food already, they felt pissed cause the two people were not dating but somehow when ever they were together there was always a romantic air surrounding them. it was almost suffocating
'the two of them should just get together already and save us the brain stress' They complained in their head.
Zi yichen took a quick shower and then over dinner he discussed business with his two companions, Lu yao yin had eaten dinner already so she continued scrolling through her phone and answering unread messages
"boss when are you guys going to officially starts dating? have you asked her out again?" the chit chat Ah Han couldn't help but ask in whispers
"why do you care?" Zi yichen replied rigidly
"oh come on boss tell me, I'm really dying of curiosity"
"no I haven't...but soon" He liked how thing were going smoothly between them, he didn't want to rush it cause he might just push her away
"huh? soon? what if by then frosty manages to sweep her off her feet and then she goes for him?" he hadn't even finished what he wanted to say and then he regretted it
'this blabber mouth, doesn't he know how to talk'
the silent Ah Chen sent him a fierce look but that didn't scare his but Zi yichen look was the fiercest, he really wanted to swallow his tongue out of regret.
the gods were really not on his side too cause Lu yao yin received a call at that moment and they clearly heard her mention Jin fengju name
"??!" Ah Han felt like crying, he had just mention frosty not long ago and he was already calling Lu yao yin
what kind of jinxing tongue did he have! it would really put him in trouble one day
"why don't you go to Africa and take a vacation" Zi yichen words was not a suggestion but an order
vacation? what vacation?! that place was a nasty hell hole, all he was going to do was watch over a boring mining ground while being roasted away in the sun and devoured by big nasty mosquitoes!
no! he doesn't want to! he really couldn't stand africa, he could take any other punishment but not going to Africa!
"boss_" he was going to plead and cry hailstones but before he could even bring out his acting skills he was already being pulled away by Ah Chen.
'no! I don't want to go to Africa! I'm to young for those vampiric mosquitoes!' he yelled in his head and forced out tiny pitiful tear drops but still Zi yichen wasn't bothered to look at him
