When he was abroad, Xiao Zheng often frequented places like this to relax. After every kill, he felt a deep sense of anxiety and distress in his heart. Perhaps to other assassins, killing was merely a means of survival, but Xiao Zheng knew he wasn't some killing machine. Everyone has their vulnerabilities, and he was no exception.
"Handsome, are you alone?" Just as Xiao Zheng was enjoying his solitude, a woman wearing a red chiffon blouse appeared before him.
The woman had a melon-seed face and a high nose bridge.
"Take a seat."
Xiao Zheng smiled helplessly. He knew that the enchanting woman before him was likely a bar flirt, but it was worth mentioning that she did have a nice figure.
"Handsome, it's a long and lonely night. How about we talk all night long?" The woman spoke softly, her movements light and skilled; she poured herself a drink and then raised her glass in a toast with Xiao Zheng, displaying an air of spirited generosity. In just a few sentences, she managed to drink several of Xiao Zheng's not-so-cheap cocktails.
"Handsome, do you have a girlfriend?" The flirtatious woman inched closer to Xiao Zheng, emboldened by the alcohol.
"Someone as poor and unremarkable as me? What woman would spare me a glance?"
Even though she felt some displeasure, driven by money, she suppressed her anger, telling herself: You bumpkin, I'll drink you into bankruptcy tonight!
"If you're willing, I can be your girlfriend tonight." The woman's phoenix eyes were affectionate as she whispered seductively in Xiao Zheng's ear.
Although Xiao Zheng had already figured out she was a bar flirt, how could he refuse such a tempting offer as a man with a void in his heart?
"I couldn't ask for more," Xiao Zheng said with a slight smile.
However, just as Xiao Zheng was enjoying his escapade, a familiar face suddenly appeared before him!
Xiao Yufei!
It was the agent from last night, full of fire and brimstone!
At this moment, Xiao Yufei was no longer dressed in the righteous attire of an agent but styled herself like a streetwise girl, ciggy hanging from her lips, heavily made up, her frosty eyes scanning over Xiao Zheng.
Especially since Xiao Zheng had a woman lying in his arms, this infuriated Xiao Yufei even more!
"You SOB! Running into you here of all places, how are you still not dead?" Xiao Yufei was still angry about last night's event.
"Fuck, agent, didn't expect your mouth to be so venomous!" Xiao Zheng wore an expression of having been dealt a bad hand.
"Get lost, don't mess with me!" Xiao Yufei cursed loudly, turning her head away, but her eyes swept toward a group of men drinking not far away.
Her target tonight was that bunch of scumbags trafficking in national contraband, which was why Xiao Yufei had dressed this way.
She was on official duty.
You should know that Xiao Yufei, often called a tomboy, had never worn a skirt before, let alone one so revealing—it was almost unthinkable.
Xiao Zheng curled his lip and paid her no further attention, continuing to indulge in physical flirtation with the woman in his arms.
"This lady, you look a bit familiar, like an old friend of mine. I wonder, could we have a drink together?" As Xiao Yufei paid no heed to Xiao Zheng, a man in a suit and leather shoes, holding a drink in his hand, came over.
Xiao Yufei glared at him with a frosty look, ignoring him.
Thinking the man would take the hint and leave, Xiao Yufei was surprised that not only did the man in the suit not leave, he was fascinated by her feisty character.
"Beautiful, how about I buy you a drink?" he said, offering a gentlemanly smile.
A beauty with a temperament like Xiao Yufei's was not a common sight here, what man wouldn't be moved?
"Roll!" Xiao Yufei said coldly, the fury in her eyes burning fiercely, unable to tolerate such sleazy harassment from men.
"Oh, a spicy one, eh? I like your spirit," the sleazy man continued with a lascivious smile. "Just have a drink with me, and forget about rolling. I'd even crawl if you asked."
Having said that, his lecherous gaze inadvertently swept over Xiao Yufei's chest.
At this moment, Xiao Yufei's vigilance was squarely on the entire bar. To get rid of the pesky man in the suit, she reluctantly agreed to his request: "Fine, I'll have a drink with you. After that, you'd better get lost!"
After scolding him, Xiao Yufei took a gulp of her drink. As Xiao Yufei tilted her head back to drink, a smug look appeared on the man's face, and with a flick of his finger, a white pill fell into the wine bottle.
