7 Killers

Chapter 3 - Yue'er Shining On Changjie

Part 1

So the woman's name was Hu Yue'er, and it turned out she and Liu Changjie were friends!

What was going on?

Could it be that they had been putting on an act the whole time?

Why would they put on such an act? And who were they acting for?

Hu Yue'er had stood up and, hand on her waist, gazed at Liu Changjie. "Let me ask you, if there really was a husband and wife who met a person like you, what would happen?"

The question seemed to stump Liu Changjie. He stared blankly for a while before finally responding, "I'm not a good person, but I really wouldn't do something so unethical."

"I didn't say you," said Hu Yue'er. "I said a person like you."

Liu Changjie laughed bitterly. "Well then, I have no idea. I never thought about it."

"The plan was thought up by you, wasn't it?"

Liu Changjie's expression suddenly became very serious. "It was all to convince Dragon Fifth that I'm a bastard. We can't let him have any suspicions, so we have to be cautious at all times. He's too powerful, and has spies everywhere."

"But just now ..."

"Just now one of his spies was here. The driver is definitely one of his men."

"How do you know?"

"I could tellt." He offered further explanation: "If that fellow was a real driver, as soon as he caught sight of two boxes of pure white silver, he would have been tempted beyond control. But, it seems that he is used to such things, and was completely unfazed."

Hu Yue'er thought for a moment, and then laughed. "I've heard you had quite the enjoyable time recently.

With a bitter laugh, Liu Changjie said, "I got my nose broken, you think that was enjoyable?"

"As long as you can have the company of women every day, getting beaten up is worth it."

Liu Changjie sighed. "Unfortunately, none of those women could measure up to you!"

"Stop trying to butter me up," laughed Hu Yue'er. "You know you can't pull a fast one on me. Until the matter is settled, you can forget about laying your hands on me."

"Not even one hand?"

"No. Starting today, I sleep on the bed, you sleep on the floor. And if you even think about trying to secretly climb into the bed during the night, I'll go tell Dragon Fifth all the details of your past."

"You're simply not human. You're a demon!"

"You're just as bad, you womanizer." She laughed and gave him a wink. "Actually, you're just a street, and I'm the moonlight. Moonlight can shine on millions of streets, so I guess I'm just born to mess with you."

He laughed. "I always thought it was strange that you were selected to be my assistant."

She tilted her head. "Because I'm the daughter of 'Power of Hu' Patriarch Hu. And because I'm capable, clever, I understand everything, I know everything..."

"Because," interrupted Liu Changjie, "you're not just a crafty girl, you're also sexy!"

It was actually quite proper to call her crafty, considering her father was known as one of the craftiest people in Jianghu.

Just hearing the name "Power of Hu" would make most people tremble with consternation.

"I also think it's strange," she laughed coldly. "Why does my father always say that only you can take on Dragon Fifth? And why do I need to help you?"
