278 Not So Stupid Then (1/2)

The girl was pretty transparent, nothing too extraordinary yet nothing bizarre. But by the look, he had on life those were the most exploiting edgy of them all, the one who always had the consistency to be undetected.

Those who always had the capacity to dodge the limelight had something they were hiding in the dark.

He twirled and spun his dagger in his hand expertly like an assassin he was always supposed to be. He had his eyes on his target for a long time now, figuring and deducing the supposed innocent prey.

Tailing this particular woman was a headache. She was all too by the book kind of girl or perhaps... it was all an act. She was too sickly sweet fake, he had to restrain the urge to puke.

He could have killed her undetected for weeks now as he was camouflaged well in her peripheral life. Apparently, he was her 'friend' or the pretend naïve young lady wanted everyone to think.

But he was conflicted, either the girl was too clever beyond his comprehension or she was simply not ignorant and trust-worthy either way, she was a loose cannon and like all other dispecables Lei Xinyi will refuse to get rid of this serpent too. But he was losing his patience...

She had Yu's force's best men surveying her barbie apartment and not to mention the protocol she received because of her status from her 'family'.

The girl has just this 'too good to be true' scene going on with even the way she crosses paths with you. Tailing her was sure soul-grinding.

The woman was a true masochist wet dream! No wonder Yu Youhan had called dibs on her... Too docile, subservient, nice… in short a definition of an impossible woman that even a rabbit is a menace in her comparison.

She was an impossible woman that's why she had to...be exterminated. Such humans didn't exist which meant it was all an act and a woman who can pull something off like that had an ulterior motive written on the very inch of her f*cking skin!

In his weeks of stalking he had found nothing suspicious or shady which meant she was good at hiding her tracks. At the end of his limits now, he was losing it with her. She had to die today in the most unsusceptible of ways.

He saw by the corner her car parking and a sinister smirk overtook his features as a shadow covered his once expressive eyes.

He saw the girl filling in for the elevator and got out of the corner he was hiding in. The very complex being his residence too gave him easy access.

An empty elevator and an occasionally visited reception would avert their attention for ten to twenty minutes or so and that was all the time he needed.

Just before the elevator door closed he hopped in with his very own charming smile that eased anyone. The beauty broke out in a smile of her own instantly recognizing him.

”Hey, pretty girl!” He exclaimed with such cheerfulness that masked all his viciousness like a glove.

Lu Xinyi slid away giving He Zheng space in the elevator and returned his greetings, ”I haven't seen you around for a while.”

He Zheng looked at the dinging numbers ascending. He was placed on the eleventh floor and she was on thirteenth, he would have to get the job done before they were close to ten to make a clean leap out.

He turned to her with his most elusive yet charming smile and ran a hand through his hairs waving them in all directions in a nonchalant manner while his others hand traced the pocket knife's edge.

”Well, life's been hectic after everything that's been going on.” At once Lu Xinyi's face showed her sympathy for his losses. He held the urge to laugh cynically at her concern.
