Chapter 322: He would have been terrified rather than surprised, The living legend and his cat

There was dead silence in the car.

Qin Shu stared at Ye Luo. Indeed, he had his loyalty sworn to Fu Tingyu, so she was not too surprise knowing he would choose penalty rather than lying to his master. Yet Qin Shu was the opposite. She had hidden the truth that she excelled in hacking, and her mentor was one of the most notorious in the world. On top of that, Fu Tingyu had no idea she knew martial arts and the stuff she had been doing secretly.

Qin Shu rested her chin on her palm. Guilt flooded over her. Still, Qin Shu could not confess because she made a promise to her mentor. Not to mention the subject of her being reborn—if she had spoken up, people would have thought she went nuts.

Ye Luo had a determined look on his face, and she scratched her head. She could imagine it—if they had appeared in front of Fu Tingyu, he would have been terrified rather than surprised.

Qin Shu made one last attempt as she stared into Ye Luo’s eyes. “Ye Luo, I promise this will be the last time. Okay?”

“Why would you lie to Lord Fu?” Ye Luo had wanted to know the answer.

Qin Shu was about to say something, but she hesitated. She turned her attention towards the view outside of the car, and she could already picture the displeased look on Fu Tingyu when he saw her and him scolding Ye Luo. She understood him too well.

Seeing Qin Shu in silence, Ye Luo told the driver the address. As they hit the road, Qin Shu looked out of the window without a word. It was 11 p.m., yet the streets were vibrant where bright, city lights illuminated. Nonetheless, the night view in Xijin was incomparable to Jiang Cheng.

During the ride, Ye Luo had his mouth shut. In realizing the tension in the car, Boss, who was in deep slumber until then, blinked its emerald eyes and continued its nap.

It was half an hour later when they had arrived at the hotel. As Ye Luo paid for the ride, he got out to the trunk and retrieved their luggage. Yet, Qin Shu was unwilling to get out as she looked through the window. Boss had let out a meow as if it was reminding her.

Reluctantly, Qin Shu reached out her arms to cuddle Boss, and she opened the door. Ye Luo had been waiting for her, and he led the way. Qin Shu glanced at Boss’s puzzled little face as she walked behind Ye Luo. Approaching the elevator, Qin Shu stood beside Ye Luo, and she walked in when the elevator reached.

Ye Luo followed her and pressed the button. It was stuffy, and no one had spoken inside. What was on Ye Luo’s mind was not how infuriated Fu Tingyu would be when he saw them, but rather how he had lost the match against the weak and feeble Qin Shu. Meanwhile, Qin Shu wondered what she should say to avoid making Fu Tingyu mad. While busy in her thoughts, she had been squeezing the paw of Boss—it was fun to do so. She would gently squeeze them until its claws would pop out slightly. Boss watched as its emerald eyes stared.

“Ding.” The elevator door opened, and Ye Luo took the lead, with Qin Shu tagging along behind him until they reached the door of Fu Tingyu’s suite. While Ye Luo knocked on the door, Qin Shu had felt somewhat nervous, and Boss, who had nestled in her arms, had its eyes locked on Ye Luo.

Minutes have passed, but no one answered. Ye Luo had tried knocking again, but no one came to the door.

Qin Shu asked, “Did you get the wrong room, or had he gone out?”

“I’ll make a call.” Ye Luo took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Shi Yan’s number. In a few rings, someone picked up.

“What’s the matter?” Shi Yan sounded puzzled.

Ye Luo asked, “Where are you and Lord Fu now?”

“We’re out right now. What’s wrong?”

“Nevermind.” Ye Luo hung up before Shi Yan could say anything.

Just as Ye Luo got off the phone, Qin Shu asked, “Where are they now?”

“They’re not here. I’ll get the keycard.” Ye Luo put his phone away, and he departed. He had not revealed their arrival as he was worried they already had a lot on their plate, and he did not want to distract them.

Ye Luo had such a narrow shoulder and lean waist, and Qin Shu watched him strode off in the lights. Not long after, he came back with a keycard. As he unlocked the third room in the right, next to Fu Tingyu’s, he entered the room.

Qin Shu stepped into the suite and put Boss on the wide sofa. She put her backpack down, took out her laptop, and placed it on her legs. The tabs about Xiye Ze, his info, and his address had been left open.

Xijin was a place governed by the person with the most influence and power, and among them, Xiye Ze was the most powerful—he was filthy rich. People had wanted to replace him as the new ruler, so he had tight security to protect him. One of his measures was he would constantly move around, staying in different properties to hide his whereabouts.

Ye Luo was perplexed. He could not comprehend why Qin Shu had to come here to look for Fu Tingyu, and Qin Shu met his gaze. “You could locate the Ye brothers, am I right?”

Ye Luo stared at her for a while before he asked, “What do you want to do?”

Qin Shu replied, “I want to know their exact location.”

It was the first time Ye Luo had heard Qin Shu spoken like this. She was strong-willed, and her tone was firm. He had hesitated before finally checking his GPS on his phone.

“They’re at the equestrian center.”

“Let’s go.” Qin Shu had closed her laptop and put them back into her backpack, and she added, “I’d better change my clothes. It’s inconvenient to dress like this. He could have been upset if I was wearing women’s clothes in a place like that.”

She got to her feet as she dragged her luggage with her into an empty room. Then, she shut the door before Ye Luo could say anything. She was so quick that it all happened in a glimpse. He could not even reject her, and now it was too late.

Half an hour was gone when Qin Shu came out of the room. She had dressed as a gentleman in a white suit, which complemented her slender figure. She had a short wig and purple contacts on, and she had disguised her facial features using makeup. Her eyebrows were groomed and defined, her eyes magnetic.

Seeing her got Ye Luo stunned. The person in front of him had looked incredibly like a rumored, living legend—but without his cat.
