Real or Fake Killer 171

  Tang Xiaolan didn't plan to sleep on the floor herself at first, even if the two of them had no other relationship and were just friends. Guo Yi should have had this much courtesy, but she didn't expect him to want to sleep on the balcony. At this time, autumn was already in full swing, and the night was quite cool, with Hangzhou's humid air making it easy to catch a chill on the balcony, which could even lead to illness. Tang Xiaolan instinctively wanted to stop him, why go to the balcony, just set up a bed on the floor would be fine. But as she opened her mouth to speak, she suddenly swallowed her words back.

  "Hmph, you obviously want me to keep you here, but you're still being coy. Hmph, I won't say anything, let's see how long you can freeze outside before coming back in with some excuse." Tang Xiaolan thought resentfully.

  Kuo Yi took out two quilts from the closet, walked to the balcony, and spread one on the floor and covered himself with the other. Lying down and looking up at an angle, he could indeed see the stars in the sky. How long had it been since he last saw the stars? Five years? Or ten years? The sky that held so many beautiful childhood fantasies was getting farther and farther away from him. Kuo Yi gazed dazedly for a while before falling fast asleep.

  This guy actually went out to sleep! You deserve to freeze to death!

  Tang Xiaolan gritted her teeth and lay on the bed, suddenly got up again, and locked the door leading from the balcony to the room. You can't open the door? If you want to come in, just open it yourself!

  The hotel doesn't provide pajamas, so Tang Xiaolan is wearing the clothes Ling Wei sent over. Although they're pretty, they're absolutely not suitable for sleeping in, but she can't just sleep in her underwear either - after all, there's still someone on the balcony, who knows if he's a beast or worse! These past few days have left her physically and mentally exhausted, and after tossing and turning in bed several times, she finally fell into a deep sleep.

  This night was dreamless, when Tang Xiaolan opened her eyes again, the sky had already brightened. She lay in bed staring at the ceiling to calm herself down, only then did she remember where she was. This sleep was very deep, during Zhu Zihao's soft detention, although she didn't dare close her eyes at night, she was also afraid that the beast would burst in at any time, and often fell asleep and suddenly woke up with a start.

  She glanced at the balcony, that scoundrel was not good, but compared to Zhu Zihao, he was a hundred times stronger. At least she didn't have to worry about him doing anything bad. She looked again at the quiet balcony and couldn't help but think, this pig, what time is it still sleeping? Can he sleep on such a cold balcony? As soon as she thought of this, she suddenly became worried, could he be sick? Wanting to go take a look, but afraid that he would see her and become complacent, she hesitated for a moment. She quietly got up, tiptoed over, pulled the curtains aside and took a sneak peek. Suddenly anger rose in her heart, the balcony was already empty, with the quilt neatly folded on one side.

  He's gone missing since early morning, must be looking for that... Hmph, what does it have to do with me? Go die, you heartless and ungrateful person!

  She got up and washed, touching her slightly hungry stomach, even more annoyed. She knew that people couldn't go out, but she still left me alone in the room. The amount of food from last night was insufficient, humph, let me starve to death. She huffed and puffed back onto the bed, slamming the pillow towards the door with force. Very angry, very wronged, not ladylike at all, but also very cute, completely different from the calm and collected girl who faced Zhu Zihao...

  "Oh no!"

  Guo Yi, who had just entered the room, happened to be in time. He quickly turned around and backed away from the flying pillow, softly exclaiming in surprise. This was the porridge he had just bought, if it got knocked over, all his efforts would have been for nothing. Guo Yi said in surprise:

  "How did you know I was back?"

  "Mind your own business!"

  Tang Xiaolan glared at him and snatched the thing from his hand, eating it in a very unladylike manner.

  Guo Yi sneered, Tang Xiaolan caught a glimpse of it and immediately turned cold. Guo Yi pretended not to see it and said casually:

  "This Wu Shan butter cake, I've had it once, and it's not bad, right?"

  Tang Xiaolan sipped her lean meat porridge without comment, while Guo Yi continued in a careless tone:

  "Isn't Zhu Zihao being difficult?"

  Tang Xiaolan's hand trembled, almost dropping the bowl to the ground. She suddenly raised her head and glared at Guo Yao, whose veins on his forehead bulged as he shouted: "Zhu Zihao, you're too much!"

  Tang Xiaolan put down the bowl in her hand, her expression had returned to calmness, and she asked casually:

  "How did you know?"

  Kuo Yi saw her so calm and composed, he secretly admired her. To have gotten entangled with such a troublesome master and still be able to walk away unscathed, yet hearing his name could still evoke such shock - this little girl's mental resilience was truly impressive. However, it also showed that she still harbored deep resentment towards herself, so she hadn't planned on telling him the truth. So, should he tell her? Telling her might clear up her misunderstanding of him, but what then? He had already developed a certain relationship with Li Fu Rong - one that was different from Qin Huai Yue's. Li Fu Rong was serious about it.

  Maybe it's not a bad outcome after all. Firstly, he never thought that modern women would allow themselves to have other women. Secondly, the two-year period has not passed yet, and who knows what kind of person one will become after two years? It's better to break up now than to wait until then.

  He thought of this and smiled faintly, saying:

  "I'm guessing. You'll be staying here for a while, if you need anything just let me know. By the way, you can call your parents with this phone, it's encrypted so ordinary people won't be able to tap into it or track your location."

  Tang Xiaolan sighed inwardly, and from Guo Yi's words, she naturally also heard his attitude. He obviously didn't mean to explain himself, and from his behavior, it could be seen that he was no longer the talented young man she had understood before. His words and actions were full of mystery in her eyes. Women are always curious, but reason told her not to get close to mysterious men, especially those who had once hurt her heart.

  "After you finish eating, rest well here and don't go out. If you need to make a phone call, don't reveal your whereabouts either. Since your opponent is Zhu Zihao, you also know his capabilities. With the slightest carelessness, you will be caught without any chance of turning things around."

  Tang Xiaolan nodded, and Guo Ye turned around and walked out the door. In the instant he turned around, his face was already filled with murderous intent. You think you can just come and kill me because I moved your woman? Now you want to move my woman? How is that possible? Since you disregard heavenly principles, don't blame me for being ruthless!

  Zhu Zihao's face sank as he glared at his subordinates and shouted:

  "A bunch of trash, can't even find a single woman. What's the point of me supporting you all? She escaped less than an hour ago and already has connections to seal off all roads, land, water, and air. She definitely won't be able to fly out of Hangzhou. It's been a whole day and night now, and you still haven't found her. Hmph, useless!"

  A majestic-looking man stepped forward and bowed his head saying:

  "Crown Prince!"

  "Finding people is your specialty. Don't say I didn't give you a chance. I'll give you another 24 hours, and if you still can't find the person, you go to Yihu yourself to receive punishment!"

  "Yes!"

  The dog's voice was already shaking, he had been following the prince for two years, and the prince's ruthless heart was something he had experienced before. This time, he had fallen into a woman's hands, and in his anger and humiliation, he would certainly hate even more than usual. Within 24 hours, if he couldn't find the person again, even if he managed to survive, he would be a disabled person from then on!

  "Go down, and let Qi Hu come in."

  Qī brought several trusted subordinates out of the room, and before long, Qī Hǔ walked in.

  "Crown Prince!"

  "Has there been any news from Yangcheng?"

  At this time, the prince had already gathered his angry face, but the narrow and long eyes were flashing with resentment, which was not disguised.

  "Long Liu still has no news, according to our investigation, after the failed assassination of Guo Yi at Wang Hai Lou, a girl who looked very similar to her appeared in Tian E Cheng, which is the residential area where Guo Yi lives, and then disappeared. Although there is no evidence, it can almost be concluded that Long Liu's disappearance must have something to do with Guo Yi, even if he didn't do it himself, it was definitely done by his subordinates, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence."

  "Does he have any followers?"

  Zhu Zihao curled his lip, he didn't want to waste time on this country bumpkin at all, but now he had to take it seriously. After all, first the Dog Collar was pulled out, and then the most talented assassin went missing. This loss would be unbearable even for the powerful Prince Party! He furrowed his brow and said:

  "No evidence? Then you haven't even asked anyone?"

  Seven Tigers' faces showed strange expressions, saying:

  "We really wanted to catch one and ask it some questions, but we didn't succeed."

  "Huh?"

  The crown prince was stunned, the seven tigers had done this kind of thing countless times, never failed, but this time they wanted to catch a tongue and unexpectedly didn't succeed!

  "There were six men and two women living in the Swan Castle villa. Among the six men, Guo Yao and two younger ones rarely went out, while another two looked very vigilant. Only one seemed easier to handle as he often flirted with some young women in the neighborhood and would often not return home at night or come back very late. There were also two girls who usually went out together to buy things, so I set my target on these three and planned to take action on the same day. However, something unexpected happened when I tried to snatch those two girls!"

  The seven tigers did not dare wait for Zhu Zihao to ask questions and continued to speak:

  "Big Sister Long and her people have appeared, judging from their timing, they should have been secretly following the two girls all along."

  Zhu Zihao's eyebrows furrowed again, Long Suyu?

  "In your opinion, is Long Yi secretly protecting those two girls?"

  "Yes!"

  The seven tigers replied very affirmatively.

  "Have the identities of those two girls been investigated clearly?"

  "The investigation was clear, but their identities were ordinary and there was nothing suspicious about them. Because of the appearance of the big sister's person, we didn't touch that man named Nalan Qing either."

  "You say that flirtatious man is Nalan Qing?"

  "That's right!"

  Zhu Zihao was shocked, but immediately put his mind at ease. It must be a namesake or an impostor. If he were really the legendary assassin Nalan Qing, he wouldn't have been followed by the Seven Tigers without realizing it...
