Scorpion

Chapter 16 The Assassin - Gu Yue

The sky was getting dark!

Ye Cangtian, with a cigarette in his mouth, opened the door, then couldn't help but glance back at the next-door apartment.

"This girl seems to be off work quite late these days!"

Ever since he discovered that the girl next door was a police beauty at the police station last time, Ye Cangtian had become very interested in her. It was a pity that she seemed very busy these past two days, working very late every day.

Without thinking too much, he turned and walked into the living room.

After taking just two steps, Ye Cangtian stopped, his brow slightly raised. He exhaled a puff of smoke and scanned his surroundings.

"Someone has been here!"

Although the layout of the living room was exactly the same as when he left, Ye Cangtian still sensed something unusual.

Moreover, a faint scent of perfume still lingered in the air, familiar yet he couldn't pinpoint where he knew it from.

"It's a master! And a woman, tsk tsk!" Ye Cangtian suddenly chuckled.

The fact that she could enter his home without leaving any trace proved that she was an absolute master! And the lingering scent of perfume in the air indicated that the person was a woman!

It seemed that his arrival in Huaxia had been discovered by certain individuals!

However, Ye Cangtian felt no worry. With a smile, he continued to act as usual, moving around his home as he normally would.

A moment later, he entered the bathroom to take a shower.

Not long after, the sound of splashing water echoed from the bathroom. However, at this moment, a figure landed silently on the balcony with the descending night.

Soon, the figure arrived in the living room. It was a woman in a black, tight-fitting outfit, or one could even call her a 'female assassin'!

This female assassin had an Oriental face, long flowing hair, and a slender figure. Especially her long legs, encased in black tight pants, were enough to see that she was a beauty.

But this female assassin had a cold expression, and her sword was drawn silently, emitting a bone-chilling glint!

She approached the bathroom step by step, her movements so light that they made no sound.

And inside the bathroom, the splashing sound of water continued, accompanied by someone humming a tune.

When the female assassin reached the outside of the bathroom, a hint of smugness appeared at the corner of her mouth. However, she didn't attack immediately; she waited quietly.

In less than five minutes, the sound of water stopped. Then, the bathroom doorknob turned, and the door was quickly pushed open.

The moment the door creaked open!

The female assassin moved!

Her long sword thrust straight into the bathroom!

However, this thrust met only empty air!

The female assassin's expression changed slightly, and she changed her stance, preparing to attack again. But at this moment, the bathroom door opened completely. When she saw what was before her, her entire offensive posture halted.

"Bastard, you're shameless!" the female assassin gritted out, her voice trembling with shame and anger.

It wasn't that she didn't want to continue attacking him; it was that this shameless wretch was standing in front of her completely naked!

Ye Cangtian, holding a bath towel, looked at the female assassin who had suddenly burst in and chuckled, "Heh heh, it's you!"

He recognized this female assassin; she had been chasing him for a full year due to a beautiful misunderstanding!

Of course, after he went to the Axe Prison for a vacation, he was no longer pursued by her. He hadn't expected her to follow him after he came to Huaxia.

Seeing that the female assassin dared not look him in the eye, he smiled and said, "Gu Yue, I'm a mercenary, and you're an assassin. We don't interfere with each other, and there seems to be no deep hatred between us, right?"

"No deep hatred? Think about what you did back then!"

Gu Yue tightly gripped her sword and said through gritted teeth, "I said it, no matter where you run, I will kill you!"

"Why must it be like this?"

Ye Cangtian gave an awkward smile and couldn't help but explain, "What happened back then was really a misunderstanding. I didn't intentionally take advantage of you. Your figure is so good, and you actively came into my bed. Any normal man would lose control!"

"Besides, I didn't do anything, just kissed you once!"

Didn't do anything? Gu Yue's killing intent intensified. Her hand holding the sword trembled uncontrollably. This beast, apart from not defiling her chastity, had done everything else?

Thinking of this, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. Regardless of whether he was dressed or not, she once again swung her sword towards him.

"I'll kill you!"

In her shame and anger, her attacks were without any strategy.

Ye Cangtian chuckled lightly, dodged her attack by shifting his body, then grabbed her arm and pulled hard, drawing Gu Yue close to him.

"Don't be so violent. Fighting and killing won't solve anything!"

The teasing voice from the guy reached her ears, making Gu Yue even more flustered. Her hands were controlled and she couldn't break free, so she could only forcefully lunge at Ye Cangtian.

This collision caused both of them to lose their balance, and they tumbled directly into the bathroom.

The shower in the bathroom was accidentally turned on. As they lay on the floor in an extremely ambiguous posture, the splashing water instantly drenched them both.

Gu Yue's clothes were instantly soaked. Especially with them pressed together, and him still naked, she felt like dying.

Unable to break free, she could only roar angrily, "Bastard, let go of me!"

Let go of you? And then let you continue to assassinate me?

Ye Cangtian smiled brilliantly; he wasn't stupid!

"Knock knock knock..."

Just then, a knock on the door was heard from outside.

Ye Cangtian didn't intend to pay attention to the knocking, but the knocking became more urgent. He looked at Gu Yue helplessly, "I'll let you go, but don't keep threatening to kill me."

Gu Yue remained silent with a cold expression.

Ye Cangtian released her. Seeing that she instantly moved far away from him, holding her sword defensively in front of her chest, as if a frail woman encountering a villain.

Slightly amused, Ye Cangtian shook his head helplessly, wrapped himself in the bath towel, and walked towards the door.

He opened the door, and standing outside was none other than his neighbor Xu Weiwei.

"Beautiful police officer, need to borrow the bathroom? Coincidentally, it's still warm in there!" Ye Cangtian said with a bright smile.

"Borrow my foot! I just heard some commotion in your apartment. Is there anyone else at your place?" Xu Weiwei asked with a frown.

Ye Cangtian laughed heartily, "It's just me alone, feeling a bit empty and lonely. Why don't you, beautiful police officer, move in with me to compensate for our shortcomings?"

Xu Weiwei snorted coldly, too lazy to listen to this guy's nonsense.

She had just gotten off work and was preparing to go home when she heard a commotion from Ye Cangtian's place, and it was quite a disturbance, so she had knocked to inquire.

Now, hearing him deny it, she naturally became suspicious, thinking there was something wrong with this guy, so she barged in.

Seeing her storm into his apartment and search around, Ye Cangtian immediately chuckled, "Beautiful police officer, there's really no one else in my home besides me!"
