The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus
Chapter 269: Qiao Ying: I’m tired of acting with you; I killed my own brother
Chapter 269
The food on the table was still hot.
In the living room, only one wall lamp was turned on, illuminating a small area.
Moonlight seeped in through the glass window into the living room, the whole room was tranquil.
With the pendulum clock ticking lightly, the girl with her hands cuffed sitting on the sofa seemed to have lost her soul, like a walking corpse, her eyes were dazed and spiritless, allowing others to manipulate her.
"Tell me, what's your name?"
Xiao He's ethereal voice rang out, echoing faintly in the spacious living room, sometimes near, sometimes far, floating and drifting.
The girl's eyes were half-closed, like a puppet, being controlled to slowly open her mouth: "...Qiao, Ying."
Xiao He: "What's your brother's name?"
"...Qiao, Yi."
Xiao He: "What is Cheng Jinyan to you?"
"...Friend."
Xiao He: "Did you kill the Black Spade Ace and Red Heart King?"
"Yes..."
Xiao He looked at her and continued asking: "What's the name of the person you like? Tell me."
The girl didn't seem to have an answer, and didn't respond for a long time.
Xiao He: "Why oppose the Shadows?"
"...Blood Shadow."
Xiao He: "Tell me, where is Blood Shadow?"
Qiao Ying: "You guess."
The voice was crafty and mischievous, with a hint of wicked laughter.
Xiao He was startled, the next moment, he suddenly met the girl's bright and clear eyes. Xiao He was shocked.
He reacted quickly, but Qiao Ying's kick was much faster than him. With all her strength in one kick, she directly kicked Xiao He and the chair he was sitting on flying away.
The chair smashed into pieces, Xiao He heavily smashed onto the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood, his ribs directly breaking two.
Xiao He almost fainted from this kick.
From this kick, Xiao He knew Qiao Ying's strength.
He looked at her in disbelief, clutching his chest and struggling to get up from the ground. But he was in no hurry to escape.
Qiao Ying was under the influence of a strong poison, and her hands were cuffed. He could slip away anytime.
Qiao Ying lazily crossed her legs, didn't even glance at the handcuffs on her wrists. She was extremely skilled, as if she had done it countless times before. With two crisp "clicks", she easily removed the handcuffs by dislocating her thumbs, without even frowning.
Under Xiao He's incredulous gaze, she expressionlessly relocated her thumbs.
Xiao He looked at Qiao Ying on the sofa in shock. These handcuffs were custom-made, smaller than normal handcuffs by a size, and the material was as hard as iron. Other than the key, they couldn't be opened by any means.
Xiao He steadied his mind: "When did you see through me?"
Xiao He carefully recalled, he didn't seem to have revealed any flaws. The only possibility was: "Was it Cheng Jinyan?"
Could it be that he was suspected when he hypnotized Cheng Jinyan last time?
Impossible, his hypnosis skills were the best in the entire Dead Sect, he had never failed before.
Qiao Ying: "From the moment you appeared."
Compared to old fox Qin Hanyue who fought in the business world, Qiao Ying who walked on the brink of life and death every day, and had seen more villains herself, being an undercover assassin, was naturally more suspicious.
She didn't even trust the dead.
There were no such coincidences in this world. Xiao He brazenly showing up frequently in front of her with this face, how could she not be suspicious?
At first, Qiao Ying suspected this face of Xiao He's was fake. But she had confirmed that Xiao He had no disguise on.
This face had no traces of plastic surgery either.
He was just born this way.
Xiao He was also cautious. The laptop he gave her was only used for superficial work. Clearly, the Shadows also knew she wouldn't easily believe them, but the Shadows relied precisely on Xiao He's face!
They relied on this face that was the same as Feng Ying's, relied on Xiao He's true identity, believing that she wouldn't easily make a move against Xiao He.
A cold killing intent flashed through Qiao Ying's eyes, it was towards the Shadows.
She said: "Pretending with you is really tiring and boring."
It was still more interesting to act with that old man Qin Hanyue.
Xiao He: "Cheng Jinyan too?"
Qiao Ying: "He said your hypnosis skills are pretty good."
Of course it was acting.
After the second act, when Qin Hanyue was on his way back, he still had some complaints and sent her a message: [Do you have to keep bringing up age?]
Qiao Ying: [Why so immersed in the role?]
Qin Hanyue: [After all, it's the truth. Hard not to put myself in the role.]
Qiao Ying: [Didn't mean to make fun of you.]
Qin Yan was worried for them at the time, trying to smooth things over. But Qin Hanyue was secretly delighted looking at Qiao Ying's message behind him.
Qin Hanyue: [My acting was pretty good right?]
Qiao Ying: [Your lines were too cheesy.]
Qin Hanyue: [It's because your lines were too harsh. I'll improve next time.]
Xiao He: "Cheng Jinyan too?"
Qiao Ying: "He said your hypnosis skills are not bad."
When Xiao He was eavesdropping outside the door on Cheng Jinyan's phone call with Qiao Ying, reporting Xiao He's situation to her, and even deliberately trying to match Qiao Ying with him, he was sincerely a good doctor.
But he didn't expect that after he left with the key, having dispelled his doubts.
Cheng Jinyan immediately said to Qiao Ying: [This kid's hypnosis skills are indeed formidable. I almost fell for his tricks just now, be careful.]
It was reasonable for Qiao Ying to be suspicious of him.
So when Qiao Ying tested him by swinging a steel pipe at him last time, he thought he had dispelled some of her doubts.
Therefore, when Qiao Ying later said she was especially concerned about him because of Blood Shadow and Xiao He's brother, and other things, Xiao He more or less believed part of it.
He had impersonated Xiao He flawlessly, even Xiao He's parents did not suspect him.
But he didn't expect the one who was ultimately acted upon was himself.
Even her brother Qiao Yi, and Huo Chengdong, all the people around her, believed she had broken up with Qin Hanyue.
Qiao Ying: "This is my first time encountering someone from the Dead Sect. The hypnosis skills are indeed formidable."
In the Shadows organization, the Dead Sect was the most mysterious.
Nothing could compare, the assassins of the Dead Sect generally did not easily go out to carry out missions, and rarely appeared in front of other Shadow assassins.
The Shadows trained them to pry open unwilling mouths, and surreptitiously peer into the secrets of others.
The Shadows hid them very deeply. Even when she was Blood Shadow in her previous life, she had never found the true base of the Dead Sect.
The Shadows also would not allow her to find it.
Also because she was not interested in troublesome hypnotism. If she was interested, whether the Shadows allowed her to find it or not, the Shadows' words wouldn't matter.
Xiao He: "Looks like this face of mine is very different to you. What exactly is your relationship with Blood Shadow and Feng Ying?"
Qiao Ying didn't have time to discuss these with him. She stood up, her tone icy cold: "Where is the real Xiao He?"
Xiao He: "Naturally killed."
Qiao Ying's expression froze: "...You killed Xiao He?"
Xiao He: "Assassins kill people, what's so strange about that?"
Qiao Ying looked at the false Xiao He with a cold face, like stepping on an ant to death. She slowly gritted her teeth.
The usually calm her lost control of her emotions for the first time. The blue veins on her fair neck bulged. Qiao Ying was furious.
"Bastard! He's your brother!"
Xiao He's hard face pulled into a smile: "Brother? Are you joking with me? Xiao He's brother was Feng Ying of the Shadows, he died a long time ago."
The Shadows sent him to eliminate Qiao Ying, so they naturally told him that Feng Ying was Xiao He's brother.
And Feng Ying was on good terms with Blood Shadow, and Blood Shadow had some inexplicable connection with the girl in front of him.
Qiao Ying was enraged beyond control: "Moron! Why do you think you look so much like Xiao He? A simple coincidence in appearance?"
