Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend

Chapter 209: Persistent Pursuit


"What? You're leaving already?"

Seeing Xiaofan walking straight down the stairs, Mrs. Ren asked casually.

"Yeah."

"Have breakfast before you go," Mrs. Ren continued.

"No, I have things to handle." Xiaofan, having changed back into his previous clothes, was searching for his shoes to put on.

"Then at least offer incense to Ling'Er's grandfather before you leave."

Upon hearing this, Xiaofan suddenly paused. He slightly raised his head and then responded with a "mm."

Ren Zhongtian's memorial tablet was placed in his former room. Although he hardly ever stayed here for a few days in a year.

Xiaofan held three sticks of incense, bowed three times in front of Ren Zhongtian's memorial tablet, then placed the incense in the incense burner.

"By the look on your face, it seems you're still holding a grudge about this," Mrs. Ren sighed and asked Xiaofan.

"I wouldn't say I'm holding a grudge, but I can't find peace in my heart. From an objective standpoint, Old Mrs. Ren's actions are justifiable. But to me, the generation gap between us is insurmountable. However, it's already happened, so I can only accept it."

"Such words, 'I can only accept it,' I know you aren't willing. Your temper is just like your grandfather's when he was young. Go on, do what you want to do, and if you have the chance in the future, come back to offer incense to Ling'Er's grandfather. Also, our agreement is not over yet, if you're still alive in five years, regardless of whether you're married or not, you must return and have a son with Ling'Er to inherit the Ren family's business."

"If I'm still alive, then we'll see." Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Xiaofan thought it was impossible to consider things as far off as five years later.

"You can actually stay here. As long as you're willing, the Ren family's business will be handed over to you to manage," Mrs. Ren continued to persuade.

"I'm not lacking money, and besides, no matter how much money there is, if I'm not happy living, what's the point?"

With these words, Xiaofan walked out of the room and strode towards the door.

Outside, Ren Ying was already waiting there, handing Xiaofan his phone and car keys. The car had been driven back from Xiaofan's place, knowing Xiaofan would be leaving today, so preparations had been made early.

"Xiaolei and Li San are waiting for you outside."

"Mm, thanks."

"There are a few girls who are also very concerned about you, even though I know this isn't good for our family's Ling'Er, but seeing them worried makes me feel it's our Ren family's fault," Ren Ying said helplessly.

"I will come back if I'm still alive."

Saying goodbye to Ren Ying, before getting into the car, Xiaofan glanced back at the massive mansion. Then he got in the car and left.

On the second floor, a petite figure slowly walked out onto the balcony after Xiaofan got into the car, watching as the car slowly left, her expression remained calm without more emotions.

After all, as long as he's still in the Capital City, it's not like it's a life-or-death parting. However, can Xiaofan really stay in the Capital City?

"Hey, Xiaolei, where are you now?"

"Xiaofan? You've finally appeared. Everyone's been worried about you these days."

"I'm coming back now, come find me, I have something to discuss with you."

"Oh."

"Just by yourself."

"By myself? Oh."

Lei Xiaolei hung up the phone, feeling a bit puzzled. Suddenly, an unexpected thought appeared in his mind.

As for why Xiaofan suddenly wanted to meet him alone, he had a very surprising guess. Hopefully, his guess was wrong.

By noon, inside Xiaofan's rented house.

When Xiaolei arrived, the door was open. As he came in, he saw Xiaofan putting some toothpicks and some unknown needles one by one into a needle pouch.

"You're here, sit down first," Xiaofan slowly said upon seeing Xiaolei.

"Xiaofan, everyone's waiting to see you, what are you planning to do now that you're back?" Lei Xiaolei asked with some uneasiness.

Having packed the needle pouch, Xiaofan placed it around the waist of his clothes, then wore his clothes to check the fit. He then looked up at Lei Xiaolei.

"I want to ask you for a favor."

It's coming, it really is coming.

What kind of thing could use the word 'ask'? Logically, Xiaolei was able to kill David and avenge his father thanks to Xiaofan, so for anything Xiaofan asked, there would be no need to use the word 'ask.'

If he's asking me to do something, it must be something I don't quite want to do, and for repaying Xiaofan's kindness, I wouldn't care about my life; what could be more important than that?

"Just say it..." Xiaolei mumbled, asking.

"I want to go to the Yanhuang Soul."

Alright, it's this matter. It's this matter that Xiaofan would approach with the word 'ask.' And Lei Xiaolei had already sensed unease before coming here.

Although he isn't very familiar with Xiaofan's personality, when he was called over alone, he already felt something was amiss, and it turns out he was right.

"Xiaofan..."

"I know it's difficult for you, but you should also know my character. You've seen my relationship with the Ren family, my grandfather was also once part of Yanhuang Soul, and the former Four Heroes of Yanhuang know me too. So bringing me there won't pose any harm to Yanhuang Soul."

Although Xiaolei never mentioned it, Xiaofan understands that the discipline of Yanhuang Soul is very strict, even though Xiaolei is no longer part of Yanhuang Soul, he still wouldn't betray the organization.

However, this situation now has nothing to do with betrayal. In a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness, he must weigh the pros and cons in front of him.

What Xiaofan said is true, he poses no threat to Yanhuang Soul; instead, everything Xiaofan has done recently has been against Red Butterfly, coincidentally becoming a helper to Yanhuang Soul.

"Sorry, I know I'm putting you in a difficult position. But I have a reason I must go." Xiaofan said softly, seeing Lei Xiaolei's troubled expression.

"For that woman named Shen Zuimo?" Actually, there's no need to ask, everyone could see it that night.

"Mm." Xiaofan nodded in acknowledgment.

"Xiaofan, you actually have women like Chen Mei'Er and Liu Siyan by your side, I think that's already..."

"One word... even if you don't agree, I'll still consider you a friend." Is it being wayward? Or unwilling? No matter what it is, some things, he must hear her say it herself.

"The base location is at Phoenix Perch Mountain. To the left is Fengxi River, to the right is a cliff. The back is surrounded by interconnected Dashan. To enter from land, there's only one road directly to Phoenix Perch Valley. The valley is the base. However, there are wireless monitoring, checkpoints, electronic surveillance, etc., a total of twelve barriers, wanting to break in is impossible."

"If I don't try, how do I know I can't get in?" Xiaofan won't give up so easily.
