"Is it really necessary to take care of me like this?"
I was at a loss after hearing Zheng Yu's suggestion. Was this really showing off their affection? I couldn't help but worry that Linna would see us, especially since that girl had threatened me before! What if she caught sight of us? That would be the end for me!
"If it's necessary, Dong Ge, Chen will definitely send someone to follow you. It's very likely that someone will pose as a water meter inspector and track you home to confirm Xiao Ying's identity. Chen isn't a fool. If he discovers that Xiao Ying's identity is fake, he'll suspect me! Our relationship with Chen isn't one where either of us has complete control over the other. What if Chen decides to eliminate me first? What will you do then? Are you really prepared to go down with him?"
Zheng Yu spoke calmly, and I frowned. He made a valid point! What if Chen discovered that Zheng Yu's identity was suspicious? What if he decided to eliminate Zheng Yu first? Even if I took revenge on him, it would just be a cycle of losing for everyone involved.
"Alright, let's do it this way." I nodded in agreement. Zheng Yu seemed satisfied and then left my office, leaving Xiao Ying alone.
I didn't feel the same way about Xiao Ying as I did about Linna. With Linna, I rarely showed any politeness, but with Xiao Ying, I felt a bit shy and unsure of how to interact with her.
"Please sit down; don't just stand there. We'll head home together in a bit."
I smiled at Xiao Ying, who nodded and smiled back before sitting on the sofa. She remained quiet all afternoon, diligently playing on her phone.
When it was time to go home in the evening, I started chatting with Xiao Ying because I wanted to learn more about the organization behind Zheng Yu. I knew she wouldn't reveal it easily.
So, I needed to play my cards right. "Xiao Ying, you're young and beautiful, and you don't seem like someone who lacks money. Why are you helping me with this?"
When Lu Ying received the check for ten million, she appeared genuinely happy and excited. It's clear that the feelings of someone who is short on cash receiving money are entirely different from those who aren't in need. Just look at Lu Ying; she received a ten million check but hasn't even gone to the bank to cash it yet—she spent the whole afternoon playing on her phone! From this, I concluded that she wasn't lacking money.
"Huh?"
Lu Ying was momentarily taken aback by my question before breaking into laughter. "Dong Ge, you're joking! Who doesn't need money? I need it too."
"What do you need money for?"
I chuckled and replied. Lu Ying was right; everyone needs money, but her reasoning was certainly different from mine.
"What do I need money for? Hmm! I haven't really thought about that. Is there ever a time when you have money and don't know how to spend it? Dong Ge, what do you mean by that?"
Lu Ying looked at me curiously as I smiled back at her. "Haven't thought about how to spend it yet?"
"It's not that complicated; I just think this action is a bit dangerous for a girl like you. So I'm curious why you're doing this."
I smiled and said it wasn't just about needing money; it must have something to do with her organization. I wanted to talk more about her organization.
"What's so complicated about it? It's simple—it's just orders from above."
Lu Ying laughed in response. "Yes! That's exactly what I'm looking for! The topic has come up."
"So who are these people above you? You seem young; this isn't something an ordinary person can handle. How old were you when you first got involved with your organization?"
I continued to inquire, hoping to extract more information about the organization behind her.
"Hehe, oh dear," Yu Ge said, "he's not wrong. He said you would definitely try to pry information out of me. Sorry, Dong Ge, but when it comes to this kind of thing, I'd rather not discuss it with you."
Lu Ying smiled, and it was clear that she was in a good mood. I couldn't help but chuckle helplessly. Zheng Yu, oh Zheng Yu! Why do you have to hide everything so deeply?
"Dong Ge, let me tell you, you don't need to worry about us; we won't harm you," I reassured him.
Lu Ying looked at me with a bright smile, her pretty little face appearing somewhat mischievous. Upon hearing this, I raised an eyebrow. "You won't harm me? Does that mean my curiosity can be satisfied? Of course not; human curiosity is instinctual. Even if Zheng Yu won’t harm me, I still need to know about the forces behind him. This will help me analyze the current situation more clearly!"
So I wasn't going to give up!
After all, Lu Ying seemed much easier to deal with than Zheng Yu!
I was still living in that small rental room from before. Even though I had money now, I hadn’t changed locations; the place only had one bedroom—Linna's.
"Hey, Dong Ge, do you have any new bed sheets?"
As a standard gentleman, I naturally wanted to give up that bedroom. As a man, I wasn't afraid of seeing it; it would be inconvenient for me to come out at night if Lu Ying stayed in the living room.
After taking a glance into the bedroom, Lu Ying immediately asked the same question Linna had once asked. I couldn't help but laugh; girls really do love cleanliness and dislike using things that others have used.
"Yes, I'll get them for you."
I replied and walked into Linna's bedroom. It was very tidy and had a faint pleasant fragrance. In the past, I wouldn’t have prepared new bed sheets like this; after Linna came along, she bought a whole bunch!
Just as I was about to take them out, I suddenly felt something was off. How could I dare touch Linna's things?
Letting Lu Ying sleep in Linna's room already took some guts; what would happen if Linna returned and found traces of another woman living in her space? What awaited me then?
"What’s wrong? Is it your girlfriend’s stuff?"
Seeing my hesitation, Lu Ying immediately smiled and asked. I raised an eyebrow—wow, are all girls this clever nowadays?
"Yeah, I really can’t touch her things. How about this: I'll go out and buy you something new."
I told Lu Ying, who didn’t hesitate to nod and thank me before I headed downstairs to a large supermarket to buy new sheets and pillowcases for her.
When I handed the sheets and pillowcases to Lu Ying, she immediately rolled her eyes at my words.
"Don’t worry; I'll just sleep in this room. I won’t touch anything at all and will do my best not to let your girlfriend notice anything unusual."
"Ah, that's good then."
I smiled in response as Lu Ying laughed.
It was truly the first time I'd seen someone so afraid of their girlfriend—Dong Ge, you're quite a rare specimen.
"What? A specimen?"
I was taken aback. Are all the people from Zheng Yu's organization this playful? Why do they always tease me? Do I look so approachable?
"It’s just a metaphor! Don’t take it too seriously; think of it as a compliment!"
Lu Ying laughed as I found myself amused by her words. Being afraid of my girlfriend? Well, let's not get into that; is being called a specimen really a compliment?
"Should I compliment you too?"
I said, feeling speechless. Lu Ying's personality seemed quite nice, and after chatting with her for a while, the initial awkwardness had faded away.
Forget it, I think I'm doing well enough on my own, so I won't trouble Dong Ge.
Leaning against the door, I watched as Lu Ying changed the bedsheets. This scene reminded me of when I first met Linna.
"You really are impressive. Not many women have the courage you do. Have you thought about what would happen if this mission fails?"
I asked Lu Ying, realizing that talking more about this mission would help me understand her background better, which in turn would shed light on Zheng Yu's background as well.
"What will happen? Don't worry, I won't be a burden to you. If the plan fails and you can't rescue me, and I can't escape, I'll take care of it myself."
Lu Ying finished changing the sheets and sat on the bed, smiling at me.
I frowned at her response.
"That's quite bold of you. Do your family members know about the nature of this operation? Do they support you?"
I inquired further.
"I don't have any family."
Lu Ying smiled at me, but I frowned again! No family? An orphan? Could she be a child raised by some faction?
"Dong Ge, I'm going to sleep now. Do you want to keep talking?"
Lu Ying smiled again as she looked at me. Although she was still smiling, I could tell her smile was somewhat forced. I realized I had asked too many questions and perhaps touched on something painful for her; she seemed unhappy.
"I'm sorry, good night."
I quickly apologized and turned to close the door for Lu Ying before heading to the sofa to sleep. Just as I lay down, Linna called me. She had called earlier in the afternoon when she arrived in Harbin and now she was at my house.
We chatted for a while, and Linna reminded me to eat well while she wasn't home. Finally, I wouldn't have to endure her terrible cooking! I thought to myself that during this time, I should really enjoy a few good meals.
Later, Linna told me that my mom said she would take her out to have some fun. I encouraged Linna to enjoy herself and we chatted for a bit before hanging up.
After the call ended, I lay back on the sofa, Linna's face flashing in my mind made me smile involuntarily. But soon after, another image popped into my head—Linna bursting through the front door and catching Lu Ying in her room!
Damn it! That thought sent a chill down my spine!
This situation must be resolved quickly!
