Chapter 773 Disgusting man
Xu Long"s voice echoed loudly inside his penthouse. So loud that it was possible for the people living on the first floor to hear him.
"What the h.e.l.l, bro! Why are you so loud?!!"
Lin Hui jumps up from his seat and lunges for the man. He quickly covers Xu Long"s mouth and silences the man. He looks around the place like the biggest secret in the world had just been revealed.
When he felt it was safe enough, he leans down closer to Xu Long and whispers with seriousness.
"You can"t be too sure who is listening."
"…"
Xu Long was dumbfounded by this kind of behavior and the position he was in. He stares up at the man sealing any words he wanted to say.
This is his (Xu Long) place now. The moment his boss gave this place to him, he had done a thorough walkthrough for anything suspicious. Not that he didn"t trust his boss, but this was regarding his personal living s.p.a.ce.
If he did have any cameras set up, he would never give others the opportunity to hack into his life as a hacker.
However, remembering the situation he was in and who Lin Hui was said to be, his face drained of all life.
"Mmm! Mm-mm! Mmm!!"
He wanted to tell Lin Hui something, but with his mouth covered, everything that came out sounded m.u.f.fled and incoherent. However, he doesn"t stop to think that Lin Hui might not be able to understand one word he was trying to say.
Seeing the a.s.sistant trying so hard to struggle, the corners of Lin Hui"s lip slowly curls up into a devilish smirk. He lets go of Xu Long and plops down on the vacant seat next to the man.
"Alright, alright. I won"t kill you. I"m not that petty."
He rubs the tip of his nose with his thumb, and a glistering light flashes in his eyes.
"Also, I prefer to be called hitman. It sounds a lot cooler than a contract killer."
Xu Long"s current position left him half hanging on the edge of the couch. He doesn"t move a muscle as he was too shocked at what happened.
Not at Lin Hui"s dangerous behavior, but because he couldn"t believe that despite his m.u.f.fled words, Lin Hui was able to understand him.
He turns to look at Lin Hui and the shocked look on his face shot up like a rocket blasting off into s.p.a.ce.
"You… How were you able to understand me?"
While his mouth was being covered, he had asked if Lin Hui was going to kill him because he knew what the man is.
Thinking this, he couldn"t help but wonder if all contract… no if all hitmen were like this.
To test out his theory, he glances at Liu Shan. If Liu Shan understood his m.u.f.fled words, then it must be those from Fate are well…
However, to his unfortunate, when his eyes met the other a.s.sistant"s eyes, his theory was thrown out the window.
Liu Shan was giving the man a look as if saying, "Don"t look at me. I don"t speak idiot."
Left with no other choice, Xu Long could only look back at the only person in the room who understood him. He didn"t need to say anything as his question was written across his face.
Lin Hui kept a straight face like he was proud of himself. He straightens his posture, and raising his left hand, he taps his temple with his pointer finger.
"Instincts."
Hearing this kind of response, Xu Long was shaking to the point of no return. Not only is Lin Hui a hitman but one who has supernatural instincts too.
He scoots closer to Lin Hui, leaving only a small s.p.a.ce to rest his hand over. His eyes blink with fairy dust, and he turns into a bashful girl trying to get on her crush"s good side.
"Wow, I would definitely want you as my boyfriend. Not only are you good at fighting, but you know how to handle a gun skillfully, and you can understand words that don"t seem to make any sense."
Lin Hui stares at the man leaning a little too close to him. If it was a girl in front of him, his heart would skip a beat, but to think the person who praised him was none other than a man.
Even worse, it was Xu Long.
The corner of his mouth twitch as a wave of disgust wash inside him. At the same time, he swore it was like millions of tiny ants were crawling throughout his body.
His body trembles with gooseb.u.mps the more he looked at Xu Long.
"Eww, get away from me!"
He waves his arms like a flag and shoves the man back before hopping onto his feet. He quickly dashes back to the couch that Liu Shan was sitting and sits down.
"Disgusting man."
Xu Long howls a laugh at the sight of this. Now he understands why Zhao Ya"Er thinks he and Lin Hui are in a relations.h.i.+p. However, while others believe that way about them, their interactions were more like that of two brothers.
He smiles at Lin Hui but not swelling on the subject anymore, he looks at the man who had sat the entire time quietly.
"So what does Fate intend to do about Red Moon? Since Xiao plays a big part in the gang, is Tao Meng really going to sit back and let this incident go? What about lady boss, what is she going to do?"
Liu Shan doesn"t answer right away but ponders to himself. The situation regarding Xiao had already reached his boss, but her response was…
"Nothing."
His words fell, and still holding the cup of coffee in hand, he places it down on the side table. He crosses his arms over his chest, and his words continue.
"Tao Meng is well aware of who sent Xiao"s body to Red Moon. He won"t do anything reckless, especially now that Fate is back in the underworld."
