278 Not So Stupid Then (2/2)

Who she should be concerned about is herself.

He looked at her eyeballs that had no contracting or dilating and wanted to scoff. He had seen her real irises and they were clearly the Lei's trademark wrapped with viciousness and cunningness in their blood.

And he was not putting her above it all. She was hiding them behind the contact lenses which clearly expressed that she had something to be wary of and the Lei's were never up to something good!

He faced her with his twisted practiced smirk and exhaled as if he was trying to put up a front, ”I just enrolled in Law major and I am going to see what I can make of my life then.”

Lu Xinyi nodded her head lightly. She had always known the young guy was a prodigy. When they all assumed she was his sister he would often come and tell her about the cool things he did which were mostly illegal.

Now knowing that his sister was dead and the other sister who is left is suicidal, he must really have a hard living. It must be a struggle to be the voice of reason when he was only but still a teen.

Lu Xinyi gave him a look with sincerity of encouragement and took hold of his hand humbly, ”You are an intelligent guy and everyone can see you are going to make it big. Too big! Just keep on the track.”

He Zheng gave her a look of bewilderment and shook her hand off his. The girl sure was one of a manipulator to play with his head like that, he almost wanted to get a hug from her!

But the bullsh*t! He didn't need a shrink, especially not if a skimpy wimpy girl was holding them!

Lu Xinyi looked at him with alarmed eyes and he quickly schooled his feature with a hesitant smile, to make it look like it was his defensive walls to emotional attachment. Lu Xinyi gave him a nod of understanding.

He kept his grip tight on his blade as a source of drawing determination. He had killed before. Though Lei Xinyi tried to shelter him as a chicken did to her chicks, they lived in the center of the Underworld so in defense and in the offense he had killed but this was proving to be far more horrifying and nerve-wracking than his first kill.

She just acted too… nice!

He glared at the ascending numbers of the elevator. They were still on the sixth floor!

He gritted his teeth. His plan was to stab her with the poison-laced knife and sent the elevator descending till that elevator reach the last floor she would already be history.

He turned to her with a snap of his head and skeptically asked, ”You don't seem like a person people miss.”

He just wanted to make rough guess if anybody was going to be on his hunt before half an hour. He wasn't planning on running or hiding. When the investigation will begin, the direct suspects will be the people missing so he would stay under the radar till a month or two.

Lu Xinyi's grip on her handbag tightened looking at the teenage boy acting off. Weirdly she was feeling uncomfortable. By his estranged and… elusive behavior. She kept repeating in her mind that it was nothing but her paranoia and the young boy would never hurt her.

She gave a half-hearted laugh and took an unconscious step back, ”Well… I don't know what that means but I guess you could say that.”

He Zheng caught her jittery step backward and an eerie smirk took over his features. So she was finally catching up… not so stupid then.
