”Jin Xin, help me do something!” Huangfu Yu stared at Su Jingya for a few minutes more before withdrawing his gaze towards Jin Xin.

”third brother, feel free to instruct me!” Hearing that there was a quest, Jin Xin immediately became excited.

With a calm expression, Huangfu Yu crooked his finger at Jin Xin, who immediately bent over and whispered into his ear, ”Before dawn...”

A minute later, Jin Xin said in a serious tone, ”third brother, don't worry. I will definitely complete the mission!”

”Very good!” Huangfu Yu nodded in satisfaction, and turned to look out the window at the quiet and dark night. The corner of his mouth curled up into a creepy cold smile, ”Cui Zhen, I'll definitely let you know the price of going public with this show!”

At daybreak, the sky had turned white. In the quiet Imperial City, shouts of pain could be heard coming from the bodyguard's villa one after another. Screams of pain and terror could be heard echoing throughout the place as they spiraled into the sky with unstoppable momentum.

Huangfu Yu lied on the bed, his long and narrow eyes were closed and his ears were attached to a walkie-talkie. A male voice came out from the walkie-talkie in a low voice: ”third brother, Mission accomplished!”

He grunted in response. Halfway through, he slowly opened his eyes and glanced in the direction of his bodyguard's villa. The corner of his mouth hooked into a mysterious smile, and only after a long while did he retract his gaze, his gaze unconsciously falling upon the woman who was sleeping soundly on the edge of the bed.

She sat obediently like a kitten on the ground. Her hair that was as smooth as a black waterfall fell to the side, covering her pale white face.

He couldn't help but reach out to brush away his hair, but just as his fingertips were about to touch her, he immediately retracted his hand.

He could not love her, could not afford to love her, could not give her any promises, and he could not even take the initiative to even take a single step closer to her.

Long ago, he had promised another woman. In the darkest, most torturous, and coldest years, he had met the person he should protect the most.

Huangfu Yu took a deep breath and pulled Su Jingya's hand away from the corner of his clothes, pushing him to the side.

He raised his head high and muttered, ”Su Jingya, forgive me for not being able to do anything … Love you! ”

His voice was very low, very deep, very deep, very pleasant, but it pierced her heart like a fine needle.

Can't fall in love with her? Did it mean that he really fell in love with Sun Qingkong? And it had nothing to do with the memories of his childhood?

Su Jingya laid on the side of the bed without moving an inch, crystal clear tears quietly rolled down her face.

Early in the morning, the most lively and craziest scene was performed in the Imperial City: Twenty bodyguards clutching their bleeding left hands as they kneeled outside the Main Residence, howling like wolves and ghosts.

Cui Zhen stood on the doorstep and asked majestically: ”What happened to your hands?”

”Manager Cui, let's beg you to expel us!” There are monsters in the Imperial City! ”

”Last night, so many monsters suddenly appeared in the Imperial City. We couldn't see them at all, we could only see their eyes flash with a terrifying red light. It's really scary, they specialize in eating human fingers!”

After saying that, the bodyguards collectively took out their gnawed off left hands, all of which were missing an index finger.

On the surface, Su Jingya was holding onto Huangfu Yu's arm and even though sshe was going downstairs, he was secretly supporting Huangfu Yu.
