Once everyone had left, only she and Ling Yunhan remained standing in the middle of the yard. Ling Yunhan released his grip, and Liu Mei began to quietly move toward the back door.
Ling Yunhan lowered his eyes, casually removing his gloves as he said, "I've stationed a squad at the back door, all skilled martial artists. Are you sure you can take them on?"
Liu Mei lunged forward, intending to snatch his gun, but Ling Yunhan easily sidestepped her and pulled her into a hold from behind, acting playfully mischievous.
"I forgot to tell you, actually, I've been training in martial arts at Shaolin since I was a child. I only returned home after you assassinated my father, so few people recognize me. Don't think that just because it's you, I'm afraid. Even if the entire street came at me, I wouldn't be scared."
Liu Mei struggled for a moment, but Ling Yunhan's grip felt like an iron cage, rendering her immobile.
Defeated, she held her head high and declared defiantly, "Aren't you supposed to avenge your father? Just give me a quick end!"
Suddenly releasing her and stepping back to sit on the steps, Ling Yunhan spoke in a tone meant for children, "If you promise to sit still and not cause trouble, I'll give you a quick end."
After considering it in her mind, Liu Mei sat down at a considerable distance from him.
Ling Yunhan patted the ground beside him and ordered her, "Here."
Liu Mei almost obediently moved over but ultimately restrained herself and sat in place, mocking him instead. "Keep pretending. Your father's surname is Zhao; why do you carry the surname Ling?"
Ling Yunhan rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "My father was grateful to my late grandfather, General Zhao. After marrying into the family, he took on that surname. I'm just reclaiming my ancestral name now. Aren't you originally an Aisin Gioro? You were later sent to Japan for spy training and took on the surname Yamaguchi. Now you're grateful to Liu Gonggong for saving you during the raid on the prince's residence and changed your surname to Liu?"
He seemed to know quite a lot; it appeared he had been investigating before entering Changyu Martial Arts School.
Everything in the past few months has been a trap to force her to reveal her true self, like being a Shadow Guard or going hunting. Her heart suddenly felt as cold as if she had swallowed a whole block of ice.
She didn't know when, but Ling Yunhan had already sat down beside her, his hand reaching around her waist.
Liu Mei surprisingly didn't want to break free.
She told herself that this was to get closer to him, a clever move to catch him off guard, so she quietly raised her palm behind her.
However, after holding the position for a long time, she still couldn't decide where to strike.
She thought that this palm strike would have great power and needed to choose a spot that wouldn't hurt too much; she couldn't injure him, just knock him out would be enough.
Ling Yunhan's hand on her waist grasped her raised palm and shook his head with a sigh: "You're so stupid, pretending! You can't bring yourself to do it. Since you've gone through so much trouble to gain the Japanese's trust, why mess up your first mission?"
Yes, she really was foolish.
Looking back now, how could there be such good fortune in the world? Such cheap guns and such cheap Aunt Zhang.
The gun was his sidearm, and Aunt Zhang was someone he had brought from home to serve him.
Her cousin had long found it strange and warned her; she had been blinded by his beauty and hadn't listened.
Ling Yunhan said slowly: "After my father was attacked, I hated you to death for a while. I pursued the investigation all the way and finally found you at the orphanage, but then the orphanage was bombed, and you went missing again. The more than twenty children inside the orphanage also disappeared."
"I think a person who is unwilling to abandon their child cannot be a bad person, which is why I disguised myself as a Beggar to approach you.
Actually, I want to know whether your aim was off and you missed, or if your aim was too precise, but you softened your heart at the last moment and intentionally avoided hitting vital spots, letting the bullet graze past the heart and blood vessels?"
Liu Mei stood up abruptly and insisted, "I just can't shoot accurately, which is why I was dismissed by my superiors."
Ling Yunhan narrowed his eyes. "When hunting from a hundred paces away, hitting the eye with one shot, you still say your aim is poor? Now the Japanese understand this too, which is why they are chasing you."
Struggling hard, Liu Mei tried to push him away. "Just let me go. If I stay here, I'll only drag others down."
Ling Yunhan held her tightly and said with a smirk, "That's not going to happen. Right now, my heart only has room for you; I won't marry anyone else. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble? Besides, what are you afraid of? You have me!"
He thought for a moment and then whispered a threat, "Don't think about escaping; don't forget those twenty-some children. With me, they get meat to eat every day."
After saying that, he forcefully sealed her lips with his own, not giving her a chance to say anything more.
Liu Mei felt her mind becoming unclear again and couldn't help but cry: why was her eyesight so poor that she didn't see that Ling Yunhan was a big bad wolf!
