Chapter 9 - Chainsaw

Xin Yi's eyes went wide at the scene before her. Immediately, she felt nauseous again. She turned around and vomited. Muyang didn't turn to her; he just focused on his master.

Li Qiang, not caring about Xin Yi, turned off the chainsaw and passed it to Muyang, who collected it.

"Will you tell me?" he asked the man.

The man's face was filled with tears and contorted with pain.

"NO…MATTER…WHAT…I…WON'T…TELL…YOU," he said, gathering up his courage while gritting his teeth.

"Okay." Li Qiang grabbed a dirty handkerchief and used it to clean his hands. He started to walk out, with Muyang and Xin Yi following him.

"YOU…BITCH…KILL…ME!" the man shouted.

Li Qiang didn't answer and just walked out.

In the car, Xin Yi looked at Li Qiang in the back with the help of the mirror. She felt assured by how wicked he was.

When they reached the hotel, Li Qiang and Xin Yi got out of the car, and Muyang went to park it.

Li Qiang and Xin Yi walked inside the hotel. Xin Yi walked as far as she could from him, but he didn't care.

Suddenly, Xin Yi felt Li Qiang whisper in her ear. "You must get used to it," he whispered and walked away. Xin Yi gasped and watched him leave.

They all returned to China. Xin Yi, Muchen, and Ru Xuan sat at their usual hot pot meetup with lots of alcohol.

"Xin Xin, are you alright?" Ru Xuan asked, noticing Xin Yi's gloom.

"I have been asking her that since she came back from Italy," Muchen said.

"Ah! Is their food that bad?" Ru Xuan asked, knowing her friend's obsession with food.

Xin Yi sighed. "Li Qiang is a wicked and dangerous creature," she said, looking at both of them.

"What happened?" Ru Xuan asked.

Xin Yi raised her hand and motioned for them to come closer.

"He amputated someone's leg," she whispered.

Ru Xuan shouted, causing people to look at her. Realizing this, she stood up and bowed to them.

"I whispered because I didn't want people to hear, and there you are shouting."

"I'm sorry. By the way, Muchen, you don't look surprised?"

"Me? Why would I be? I've seen worse," he said, sounding almost boastful.

Xin Yi threw her chopstick at Muchen, hitting his face.

"You think it's something to boast about? Your boss is a criminal, and that includes you."

"And you," Muchen retorted.

"Xin Yi, why don't you just quit?" Ru Xuan asked, worried about her friend.

"I have lots of things to uncover. Nothing will happen to me. Honestly, I'll take care of myself," Xin Yi assured her with a smile.

"We should go now; it will soon be our curfew time," Muchen said, standing up.

"Bye," Xin Yi said to Ru Xuan, and they all parted ways.

Xin Yi had just finished showering and was getting ready for bed. She came out of the bathroom with a towel around her chest and another wrapping her hair.

Muyang, who had come into the room after asking permission from Haoyu, stood in front of the table, shocked by what he saw. Xin Yi let down her hair, revealing its length, and used the towel to dry it.

Muyang's jaw dropped, and he immediately left when Xin Yi went back to the bathroom.

Muyang walked, confused by what he saw. "Xin Yi is a female," he said to himself. He walked to his room and shut the door.

The next morning, Li Qiang called for Xin Yi. She stood in front of him, expecting him to talk.

Li Qiang looked at Xin Yi and stood up from his chair, leaning on the table. He looked serious.

"There is something you are keeping," he said, looking at her. "You know many people who lie to me end up dying, just like the one you've seen." A shiver went down her spine.

"Wwwhat do you mean?" she stammered.

'Does he know my secret?' she thought, biting her lip and looking at him. He looked back at her.

"Why are you stammering?" he asked.

"Muyang told me you can't stand gore. The other day I met you, you were so confident about how sharp you were. I didn't expect you to be so blunt."

Xin Yi sighed without him noticing. 'He didn't find out,' she said to herself.

"I…" She looked at him and gritted her teeth.

"YOU JACKASS! YOU MURDERER! I HATE YOU!" she yelled and stormed out of his office.

Xu Yi Han sat on the sofa in her expensive apartment, her eyes fixed on the big poster she made of Li Qiang. She kept staring.

"Ahh, Li Qiang, Li Qiang, when will you give your heart to me?" she said to herself. "I keep loving you day and night, morning and evening. Please love me back," she begged the poster.

Boss Gou and his guards barged into Mr. Yuxuan's house, breaking down the door.

Mr. Yuxuan, shocked, asked all his children and wife to hide, but it was too late because Boss Gou was already inside.

"Ahh!" he screamed as his wife and children knelt down.

"Yuxuan, Yuxuan, you dare to kill my son when you give birth to a bunch of useless children. All you know is sex and money, and nothing about how to teach your children. This is your last warning if you don't want all your children disappearing," he warned, and started to walk out with his bodyguards following behind him.

"I'm not scared of you," Mr. Yuxuan boasted, even though there was still a glint of fear in his eyes.

Boss Gou stopped without looking back. "But I can sense fear." He smiled and continued walking. Yuxuan's family was all scared, including Yuxuan, who tried to hide it.

Li Qiang called Muyang to his office. "Who told Boss about what happened with Yuxuan? I thought I asked you not to let him know," he asked.

"I know nothing about it, sir. I have been trying to figure it out myself," Muyang moved closer and whispered, "Sir, I hope he didn't send anyone to spy on you."

Li Qiang's thick eyebrows furrowed as he rested his back on his chair and started thinking about it.

"He asked about Xin Yi. YES! I think he knows about Xin Yi."

Muyang, remembering what he saw yesterday, said, "Sir, I think Xin Yi is a spy."
