"I should thank you, Luo Chao, you've saved me twice." The little girl opened her eyes and stared at Luo Chao the moment he covered her with a blanket and said.

Luo Chao was taken aback. She knew him?

"Do we know each other?" Luo Chao felt that this girl looked familiar but didn't realize there was such a connection, that he had actually saved her?

The little girl mischievously blinked and smiled, "Oh, am I so forgettable that you can forget me? Or was I just that unimpressive?"

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Luo Chao's mind, remembering where he'd seen this girl before. Wasn't this the girl he saved last time when Jiang Yuanyuan was almost kidnapped!

What was her name again, seems like she was Su Jinyu's cousin, called…

"Su Yan?" Luo Chao followed his memory and called out Su Yan's name.

Su Yan smiled with satisfaction and said, "Looks like I still left some impression on you."

"But you... how come." Luo Chao hesitated to ask, given he was mindful of the organization's rules.

"How did I become an assassin? Luo Chao, did you see my tattoo when you treated my wound?" Su Yan asked nonchalantly.

Luo Chao nodded and said, "Of course."

"I knew long ago you were one of the boss's people, but you didn't know about me. Being an assassin is much better than being the daughter of a wealthy family." Su Yan thought for a while and said regretfully.

"Why do you say that? An assassin lives a life licking blood off the blade, while a lady lives a life commanding the wind and rain." Luo Chao disagreed, thinking about Jiang Yuanyuan and Chen Xiaoqi, those two girls lived such carefree, leisurely lives.

"Also, I'm not one of your boss's people. Your boss is my master's uncle. I did go to the organization, but only for training." Luo Chao explained once again, he wasn't an assassin since he took on all sorts of missions, mostly just ones that were just, and that had something to do with the elder at his home.

Hearing Luo Chao say this, Su Yan nodded knowingly and said, "Then you're much better off than us."

Luo Chao inwardly agreed with Su Yan's words because he was at ease, he didn't have to listen to anyone's orders, just needed to complete the tasks.

Su Yan looked at Luo Chao absentmindedly and said with a smile, "Do you want to hear my story?"

Luo Chao glanced at the time, it was already past eight at night, and since he had to prepare medicine for Ouyang Zhenhua, he nodded and asked, "Do you mind if I listen to your story while grinding medicine?"

Su Yan shook her head with a smile, "Of course not."

So Luo Chao brought the medicinal herbs and tools to Ouyang Zhenhua's bedroom, sat on the floor and categorized and ground the herbs, while Su Yan began to tell her story.

Su Yan was truly the Su Family's eldest daughter, but she got lost once as a child and was found again later.

This was the official statement from the Su Family to the outside world, but in fact, Su Yan wasn't lost; she was openly taken away in front of the Su Family members.

At that time, she was only four years old, and many people came to celebrate her birthday, essentially to establish connections with her parents. It should have been lively, but after the birthday party ended, a group of people arrived only after it had concluded.

Su Yan was in her mother's arms, who held her tightly, causing her discomfort, but she strangely didn't cry, only feeling the aura of the man in black in front of her was familiar. Being too young, she didn't know fear.

She only heard the man say to her mother, "It's time to fulfill your promise."

The mother cried and shook her head, saying, "She is still so young, how could she endure so much hardship."

Su Yan heard the man laugh a few deep laughs, then suddenly held her mother's throat. Her father panicked and shielded his wife, grasping the man's hand, pleading, "Okay, you can take her, but you must return her to us as agreed, after ten years."

"No... Yan'Er is still young!" The mother's voice was almost heart-wrenching.

Yet the man still took Su Yan from her mother's arms, and she was gone for ten years, during which time Su Yan transformed from a privileged daughter into an outstanding assassin.

"I came back after ten years, but it seems they weren't too welcoming of me, except for my mother." Su Yan said with a faint smile.

"Actually, I didn't really want to come back."

Su Yan shifted her gaze from Luo Chao to the ceiling and sighed, "Being like a monster, causing the family to live in fear every day, it's exhausting to live like that. Life in the organization was much better, even though it was living life on a knife's edge, it was bold and unrestrained."

Luo Chao understood Su Yan's feeling, these ten years she must have undergone a lot of inhuman training and had long adapted to the assassin's lifestyle, but when she returned to normal life, the family couldn't adapt, and neither could she.

"But you have parents, at the very least you have the right to let them see you." Luo Chao finished grinding the medicine and started packing it into bags, one for each day, in a week, the elder's medicine guide should also be found, and with the antidote prepared, Ouyang Zhenhua's poison should be resolved.

Luo Chao stretched lazily, looked at Su Yan, and said calmly.

Su Yan smiled without saying a word. She really liked Luo Chao's voice, always calm and undisturbed. She had heard of Luo Chao because he was a genius, even if ordinary people like them worked hard, they couldn't catch up to him. Her master was Luo Chao's master's uncle, and she had always seen Luo Chao as a role model since childhood, but unfortunately, the past ten years were filled with defeat.

"My father..." Su Yan mentioned him with a wry smile, how could she say that although her father was her biological parent, he never looked at her directly or spoke to her once since she returned home, he wasn't even comparable to her grandfather.

Luo Chao saw that Su Yan didn't look well and needed rest, so he said, "You need rest, I'll come back tomorrow."

They both skillfully avoided the topic of how Su Yan got injured, seeing Luo Chao about to leave, Su Yan hastily said, "Can't you stay with me?"

Luo Chao was slightly startled, was she asking him to stay? Luo Chao instinctively shook his head and said, "I'm afraid not, I have my own missions too."

"Protecting Jiang Yuanyuan?" Su Yan asked back.

Luo Chao nodded, and Su Yan smiled, "I understand, you should go."

Luo Chao turned and opened the door, leaving behind the fragrance of medicine in the room. Su Yan stared at the ceiling, the genius boy, so indifferent, yet so passionate, truly a contradiction, making her can't help but want him.

Curving her lips, Su Yan closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

She knew that as long as Luo Chao saved her, he wouldn't do anything to her.

Ouyang Zhenhua sat in the living room smoking, seeing Luo Chao come down from upstairs, hurried to him, and asked, "How was it?"

Luo Chao looked up at him and asked in return, "What are you asking about?"
