279 He Was Going To Her Himself (1/2)

He Zheng turned his face sharply to her and kept his sinister smirk, ”Where are you coming back from? It's late and here I thought good girls didn't mess around.” His tone was light, even friendly but the look in his eyes was haunted with mysteriousness.

Her grip on her exclusive Birkin's bag tightened to the point she was sinking her nails in her bag handle, she attached herself to the elevator wall, ”I…I met with Su Qing and Yin Lin today and then I went to visit my family…” Her stuttering was caught mid-sentence by He Zheng.

He Zheng brows shot up to his hairline,. He gave her an incredulous look, ”You met Yin Lin?”

Why would Lei Xinyi meet her, even tell the girl her real name and why the hell would she tell her real identity anyway?!

Period. He would never find out but if Lei Xinyi had plans for her and he took her out she was going to be far more than pissed.

He gauged the woman's reactions for a giveaway that she was lying and making it all up but her face expressed general confusion and surprise. Besides, nobody really knew of Lei Xinyi's name on papers. People just assumed that because she was a part assassin she was not registered like a typical assassin. The identity was just another of her alias.

He hastily took several steps away from her and leaned back on the opposite side of the elevator.

”Yes.” Lu Xinyi carefully nodded at the change in the air. She swallowed hard, ”You know her?” She drawled out knowing if it was a sore subject as it looked by his enraged reaction which was sending chills down her spine.

He Zheng flinched at the realization that he had gone far to retreat unscathed. God! He had almost given himself away!

He at once burst out laughing and clapped his hand on his other, ”I got you bad! You should have seen your face! You looked like a serial killer had cornered you.”

He Zheng's eyes were dancing with amusement while his lips were playing a smile of deceit.

Lu Xinyi gasped and shakily laughed with him, nervously. She placed a hand on her heart as she visibly relaxed but the tension keeping her body on alert didn't falter. She had really felt like he had some appalling intentions.

”You were really creepy there.” Lu Xinyi suppressed a shudder trying to give him a smile that was too wry to qualify as one.

He Zheng saw her mind easing yet her heart a little suspicious so he gave a little shrug, ”Wasn't I? I should really debut in the Entertainment industry. I am totally gonna give Su Qing a run for her money!”

Awkwardly, Lu Xinyi laughed but in fact, she was a little freaked still, ”Yeah… That would be super cool!” She tried to sound amused but her voice came out as a squeak.

He waved at her, gave her a small smile, then left the elevator with hurried steps. He then heard the emergency stairs thundering with footsteps and rolled his eyes. They were fast but he would still have gotten away with it.

”Weird.” He heard her shaky voice behind him.

The smile on his face instantly wiped at once as he leaves the elevator and run inside his apartment. Something wasn't adding up or rather something was too heavy on the subject. He frowned deep in thought.

He could have alerted Yu Youhan and Lu's Family wrath if he had gone with his plan today but if Lei Xinyi would support him, he could get out of the crises pronto but Lei Xinyi wasn't someone he was willing to mess with.

Lei Xinyi was with no doubt the strongest player around and that too without a team. Lei Xinyi had lived her earlier years in the Lei Family and her Master's Family along the way she grew up to learn their secrets. She learned there all the Lei's history and the heir's identity. If she wanted she could end the game the very minute…

In her Master's Household not only is she the heir to his fortune but also has learned all the tricks the man had acquired in his years of experimentations and expeditions though she prefers to practice as rarely as she can. She doesn't have pleasant memories related to that.

The He Family owed her practically a life worth of servitude and she knew their trades inside out.
