Chapter 81 - 81 80 Do you know me

81: Chapter 80 Do you know me?

81: Chapter 80 Do you know me?

“Why does she insist on living here?” Li Shishi pulled Song Yun aside to ask while Qingluan and Xiao Qing were greeting each other.

“How would I know…

Participated in the Dragon List but came back alone, I’m also desperate,” Song Yun shrugged and said with a bitter smile, “But what’s done is done, there’s no use talking about it now, right?

You know the kind of people who are on the Dragon List.”

“Why didn’t you stop her?

I knew you were up to no good, were you perhaps tempted because she looks as beautiful as Ru Hua?” Li Shishi kicked Song Yun’s shin somewhat angrily.

“Because I couldn’t beat her,” Although this excuse was very humiliating, Song Yun could only speak the truth right now, and it was nothing but the harsh truth.

Qingluan could be likened to a human tyrannosaurus—if she got angry, Song Yun felt it would be quite remarkable if he could last even half an hour against her.

Li Shishi was clearly startled by Song Yun’s reason.

She knew well the monstrous strength of Song Yun; if even he couldn’t defeat this woman, then probably no one in Sunan City could easily underestimate her.

Why would such a powerful woman cling to Song Yun?

Seeing Li Shishi’s concern, Song Yun recounted everything that had happened last night and this morning, but of course, he glossed over the salacious details at Qingluan’s house.

Li Shishi was shocked after hearing everything.

It turned out Song Yun hadn’t come home last night because he had gone to challenge the Dragon List, but this woman was impressive too, easily giving up the second spot on the Dragon List to Song Yun—who was she really?

“She certainly won’t harm me,” Song Yun said indifferently.

“How do you know that?” Li Shishi asked, frowning.

“Intuition.

My intuition has never been wrong, and it has saved my life many times, so I trust my intuition,” Song Yun stated earnestly.

Seeing Song Yun so steadfast, Li Shishi didn’t press further.

This was the time for a woman to show her magnanimity.

Some women, upon seeing such a scenario, would scold their boyfriends without trying to understand the context—perhaps even causing a breakup.

In more extreme cases, a woman might hang herself with noodles to express her indignation at a love triangle.

But Li Shishi handled the situation well.

She didn’t overly pry into matters Song Yun didn’t want to discuss, and since Song Yun said he trusted this woman, Li Shishi also tried to trust her.

After all, if a woman could give up the second spot on the Dragon List so easily, she was either truly kind or extremely cunning.

Even so, Li Shishi decided to relax her mind.

“Qingluan, there are still quite a few rooms in this courtyard, do you want to pick one now, and we can clean it up together?” Li Shishi greeted Qingluan very generously.

Song Yun knew if Li Shishi was determined to build a relationship with someone, she would have no difficulty, like that time at the hotpot restaurant where she quickly bonded over dinner with those ruffians, handling an apparently harmless Qingluan shouldn’t be a problem.

The affairs between women are best left to them; thus, after quickly eating a few steamed buns, Song Yun planned to go back to his room to catch up on sleep, lamenting the sleepless night he spent at Qingluan’s house.

It was torturous, lying next to a breathtaking beauty, inhaling her scent and feeling her body heat yet unable to make a move.

A nap made Song Yun feel utterly satisfied and comfortable.

Waking up, he stretched and heard his body crackle, a sign he had been overworked these past few days and needed rest.

After washing his face, Song Yun decided to go out and see how Li Shishi and Qingluan were getting along.

Going downstairs, he discovered how miraculous women are—the atmosphere was not tense at all.

Instead, Li Shishi and Xiao Qing were discussing the best foods, places to visit, makeup products, and face masks they used.

Even Qingluan, who could be considered a tomboy, was cheerfully engaging in the conversation.

When they saw Song Yun come out, Li Shishi generously shared some of Song Yun’s foolish acts, causing Qingluan to burst into laughter.

After a futile resistance, Song Yun left the house with a bruised face.

It was already nightfall when Song Yun stepped out, severely warned by Li Shishi that if he brought back another female creature, he could pack his bags—even a female dog wouldn’t be allowed in their territory.

Song Yun felt very wronged; this one statement wholly undermined his position in the house.

This was the courtyard he had bought; how could someone just take over like that?

Song Yun felt like crying.

While walking and pondering the recent events, he got a headache—too many things had happened recently, so many that he barely had time to enjoy a peaceful family atmosphere.

Just as he was lost in thought, his body instinctively jerked backward—right then, the spot where he had just been standing was pierced by a gunshot, and flying pebbles struck his face painfully.

Song Yun had just gotten up when his pupils suddenly constricted, and he rolled forward, taking cover behind a large rock not far away.

Reaching into his coat, he now had a Desert Eagle in his hand.

Leaning behind the rock, Song Yun shouted at the attacker, “Since you’re here, don’t hide like a ‘Rat.’ If we both keep hiding, there’s not much fun in that.”

Seeing the attacker still concealed and not coming out, Song Yun continued, “Damn it, can’t you make a sound?

If you’re a man, come out and have a proper duel.”

“Your words are becoming more provocative,” a man dressed in night attire and wearing a mask holding a gun emerged from the woods.

“Did you know me before?” Song Yun asked in surprise.

The man didn’t respond but simply raised his gun and shot at where Song Yun was hiding, forcing Song Yun to size up this person.

Except for the blond hair peeking out, there was no identifying feature to suggest his nationality.

In fact, professional assassins and espionage agents aren’t very different—they both hide weapons all over, potentially turning their entire bodies into weapons.

Any slight negligence could result in injury, and if severe, it could be fatal.
