Just as Fang Yuanyuan finished her internet addiction and was preparing to take a few more provocative photos, she heard Gu Chenan knocking at the door.
"Gu Chenan?"
Fang Yuanyuan's eyes narrowed as she thought to herself: "What does this murderer who killed Gong Fei want with me now?"
"What is it?" Fang Yuanyuan asked coldly.
Her icy tone confirmed Gu Chenan's suspicions.
He took a deep breath and said, "There's something I need to tell the leader."
Fang Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile. "If it's about Gong Fei, there's no need. Get a good night's sleep, and you'll know the outcome tomorrow."
She added, "Don't worry, if you truly didn't kill Gong Fei, the organization won't wrongly accuse you."
Her tone then shifted: "But if it really was you, even if you come to me or try to escape the organization, we'll chase you to the ends of the earth and never let you go!"
"Sister Fang, I'm not here to talk about that," Gu Chenan shook his head.
Fang Yuanyuan was stunned. She couldn't imagine what else Gu Chenan could want to discuss at this hour.
"Then what do you want?"
"Sister Fang, I'm interested in cosplay, so I wanted to ask for your opinion as a veteran."
As soon as he said this, Fang Yuanyuan's eyes widened, and her limbs froze in mid-air.
The air was dead silent, without a sound.
In this absolute quiet, all of Fang Yuanyuan's senses seemed amplified.
She could clearly hear her heart pounding and her rapid breathing.
"Sister Fang, why aren't you saying anything?"
Fang Yuanyuan snapped out of her shocked state.
She quickly said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
"Heh, is that so?" Gu Chenan shrugged and smiled. "Then I'll just ask others using your photos."
With that, Gu Chenan turned to leave.
Click!
However, he hadn't taken more than a few steps when Fang Yuanyuan flung open the door.
Her alluring figure instantly appeared, like a dangerous yet elegant blood rose in the darkness.
Gu Chenan had anticipated this reaction. He calmly raised his phone and said, "Before you kill me, I'm sure I can reveal your identity."
"Not only will the entire organization know you're an exhibitionist, but everyone on the website will know your detailed information."
Fang Yuanyuan's figure stopped abruptly in front of Gu Chenan, her slender fingers gripping his neck.
"Let's see who's faster then, me or you."
In the clear moonlight, Fang Yuanyuan's eyes reflected an eerie glow.
Gu Chenan smiled slightly, reaching up to pry her fingers away one by one.
"Leader, you wouldn't want the organization to know their boss is a female Bodhisattva, would you?"
"Are you threatening me?" Fang Yuanyuan's eyes narrowed, looking extremely dangerous.
"No," Gu Chenan shook his head gently. "I just want to make a deal with you."
"What kind of deal?" Fang Yuanyuan asked warily.
At that moment, Gu Chenan bent slightly and pulled Fang Yuanyuan into his arms, whispering in her ear, "That kind of deal."
At these words, Fang Yuanyuan's cheeks instantly flushed red.
Since becoming a professional assassin, no man had ever been this close to her.
But before she was an assassin, she was still a woman.
She too wanted someone to care for her, love her, even do certain things with her.
But all of this became impossible as her contributions to the organization grew, eventually becoming the leader of the Twelve Hawks.
Everyone in the organization obeyed her every word, and the men in the organization didn't dare have any other thoughts about her.
Because they were afraid - afraid of Fang Yuanyuan's skills, and even more afraid of her position as leader.
This was why Fang Yuanyuan chose to post her photos on that kind of website.
She wanted to see men have different feelings for her, even if the people on that site would only have primal urges.
But it was better than everyone in the organization being overly respectful to her.
However, Gu Chenan's actions struck right at Fang Yuanyuan's heart.
Combined with Gu Chenan's good looks and physique, it made Fang Yuanyuan's heart flutter like never before.
Seeing Fang Yuanyuan's shy expression, Gu Chenan smiled slightly.
"What's wrong? Has Sister Fang never been this close to a man before?"
"Mind your own business!" Fang Yuanyuan glared at Gu Chenan, struggling a bit, but Gu Chenan held her too tightly for her to break free.
"Heh."
Hearing Fang Yuanyuan's words, Gu Chenan smiled and said, "If you're this shy at close range, won't you die of embarrassment at negative distance later?"
Negative distance?
Fang Yuanyuan was stunned. She thought about it for a moment, then her face turned even redder.
"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you for treating me like this?" Fang Yuanyuan asked.
Gu Chenan shook his head. "If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it already. Besides, with your skills, you could easily break free. The fact that you're still in my arms means you want this too, don't you?"
Fang Yuanyuan swallowed.
Although Gu Chenan was right, she was still the leader of Black Owl.
The matter of Gu Chenan killing Gong Fei couldn't be ignored.
"Before we go into the room, answer one question for me," Fang Yuanyuan said.
"What question?"
"Did you really kill Gong Fei?"
"Do you want the truth?" Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow.
"Of course, tell me," Fang Yuanyuan elbowed Gu Chenan's chest.
Gu Chenan chuckled softly. "Yes, it was me."
Fang Yuanyuan's expression froze, and she pushed Gu Chenan away.
"Very well, since you've admitted it, I'll kill you right here!"
Seeing that Fang Yuanyuan said this but made no move to attack, Gu Chenan knew she wanted to hear his explanation.
Gu Chenan spread his hands and said, "Sister Fang, killing Gong Fei was purely an accident. Besides, I've come to replace Gong Fei and work for the organization out of guilt, haven't I?"
"Moreover, losing one Gong Fei and gaining one of me isn't a bad deal for the organization, is it?"
"Nonsense!"
Fang Yuanyuan pointed at Gu Chenan and said, "Let me tell you, the organization will absolutely avenge Gong Fei. You'd better watch out!"
Gu Chenan was stunned.
[Damn, this... this isn't how I expected things to go at all?]
[In the original plot, Fang Yuanyuan fell for Lin Yu soon after he joined Black Owl using the photo situation. Why isn't it working for me?]
[I even directly admitted to killing Gong Fei just now. Isn't that confessing without being forced?]
"Sister Fang, I can explain this."
Fang Yuanyuan glanced at Gu Chenan. "Explain? What is there to explain?"
With that, she turned and walked into her room.
Gu Chenan swallowed hard. To be honest, he was feeling a bit panicked now.
Just because Fang Yuanyuan didn't make a move against him now didn't mean she wouldn't later.
It seems...
Damn it, I'll have to run first. I'll go back to Donghai tonight and deal with Black Owl's affairs later!
Thinking this, Gu Chenan prepared to take Xingye Huayin back to Donghai tonight.
However, after just a few steps, Fang Yuanyuan's voice sounded from behind him.
"Aren't... aren't you coming in?"
Gu Chenan was stunned.
