Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1309: Chapter 1289: The Unlucky Man in Black

”Take it, I’ll freshen the air in the room first.” Yan looked at the man in black with disdain: ”What era are we in that you’re still using such outdated methods?”

”Exactly, nowadays people prefer methods that are undetectable. Yours can be traced, it’s quite unprofessional.” Luo Qianqian didn’t hesitate as she pulled out another dagger, calmly picked off the black mask of the man in black, only to find it was someone she’d seen before.

Luo Qianqian felt like she needed to pray; she seemed to be a bit unlucky, always inexplicably targeted?

Looking at the other windows, complete under the moonlight, it was clear this was premeditated.

Yan entered the room first, watched it light up, and then emit a unique fragrance. Yan climbed out again, dragged the man in black into the room, directed a look at Luo Qianqian’s waist, winked with an air of mystery.

Luo Qianqian watched the man in black go inside, glanced at her waist, instantly recalled the pouch she’d always had hanging there, and pulled it out from her chest; after all, it was something Yan used to find people, she hadn’t put it away.

Thinking back to Yan’s glance earlier, she understood that it should protect her from the aphrodisiac drug?

Calmly climbing into the room, Luo Qianqian showed no strange demeanor, stepped onto the leg of the man in black to discover Yan had thrown him at the window.

”Speak, who sent you?” Luo Qianqian boredly sat at the table, looking at the candle Yan had just lit and the lighter placed aside; this person adapted way too quickly, huh?

Yet does it make any difference whether or not to ask this kind of question?

This person was obviously one of those sent to receive Huangfu Yihui today, one of the foremost, but whose man he is, even if asked, wouldn’t make any difference for the two of them, right?

”Humph.” The man in black ignored Luo Qianqian, holding a grudge for the kick from Luo Qianqian.

”Hey, you humph at me?” Luo Qianqian chuckled: ”Do you know you’re looking for me?” Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes, removed the protection from her head and face, revealing a pretty face: ”Tell me, what do you want? Disturbing a peaceful dream in the dead of night, won’t you tell me you fell in love at first sight and then came to pay a night visit?”

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s face, the man’s expression shifted, even though he’d suspected, actually seeing Luo Qianqian made it hard to accept.

Listening to Luo Qianqian’s words though, a hint of disdain crossed his face, love at first sight?

His gaze sized up Luo Qianqian’s figure, sneering.

Though he didn’t speak, such a response provoked Luo Qianqian, what about her? Isn’t it just that compared to other women she’s lacking a bit of capital? Is that her fault?

If she hadn’t made the decision back then, she’d probably be dead by now, wouldn’t she?

Seeing Luo Qianqian angry, Yan didn’t hesitate at all, directly flicking the bamboo skewer on the table.

With a ’chii’ sound, the man in black cried out in pain, covering his eye, blood slowly flowed through his fingers...

”You don’t keep your eye in check, you’ll lose it.” The bamboo skewer lodged in the window frame, just now it had perfectly grazed one of his eyes. Yan calmly rose, took the skewer from the frame, letting the flames in his hand turn the skewer into ashes.

Luo Qianqian smirked, not feeling they were cruel, said softly: ”Thank you.”

Though she was also angry just now, now she was very happy.

Just because the pain cry of the man in black had successfully drawn others’ attention, suddenly the surrounding rooms lit up.

Soon there came a knock on the door: ”Qianqian, are you alright?”

”I’m fine, go back to sleep.” Luo Qianqian didn’t open the door, considering the scene in the room was quite miserable, a man whose bleeding eye was hard to explain.

And the black night suits on Yan and Luo Qianqian were hard to explain too, she didn’t want her family to worry.

But now they definitely couldn’t change clothes, seeing there were outsiders in the room.

After a few caring questions, Luo Xihan and Luo Yanhai returned to their rooms, after waiting a while, the lights went out, Luo Qianqian then snorted, removed the rag from the man in black’s mouth: ”Hurry up and tell why you’re looking for me? Failing the mission means death, but with me, I can make you wish for death!”

The man in black grinned in pain, yet stubbornly remained silent.

Luo Qianqian shrugged, directly reaching to sprinkle some medicinal powder into that good eye: ”Actually sometimes problems can be solved elegantly without force, so you won’t hurt yourself, look, bamboo skewer is dangerous, right?” Before the man in black could speak again, Luo Qianqian casually stuffed the rag back in his mouth, looking indifferent.

”Makes sense.” Yan nodded, watching the man in black covering his eyes, one bleeding, the other tearing endlessly.

”What did you sprinkle?” Yan curiously looked at Luo Qianqian, it seemed her hand shouldn’t possess anything so powerful, especially targeting eyes, it wasn’t possible, given experts battling, could it really hit the eye so coincidentally?

”Preservative, yeah, quicklime.” Luo Qianqian calmly replied, showing no guilt: ”Quicklime emits heat when encountering water, can heat food, the eye lens mostly consists of water, so... yeah, his eye is useless.”

She’d seen quicklime mixed with water in a bottled water being shaken, results... of course, generated massive heat, causing explosion and serious consequences.

Though it seemed like something from elementary school.

”Sounds interesting.” Yan expressed great interest, extending his hand.

Luo Qianqian after a moment of silence found a snack, opened it, took the preservative inside and handed it to Yan, then started eating the snack.

Yan didn’t hesitate, tore it open, poured the contents into a dry teacup, looked at the white powder, furrowed his brow, this smell...

Poured in water, saw bubbles quickly forming, gently touched the cup wall, indeed it was hot, then nodded: ”This thing is quite interesting.”

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes silently.

But saw the man in black actually began rolling on the floor?

”Why doesn’t he escape or remove the rag himself?” Luo Qianqian curiously asked Yan.

Yan glanced askew at the man in black: ”Failed mission, escaping would still mean death outside, nothing worth running, and a wasted person, any chance for redemption? Removing the rag would draw attention, this is a secret mission, naturally not wanting too much attention.”

Luo Qianqian nodded thoughtfully: ”Does this mean I can torture him to near-death, then throw him out, someone will naturally deal with him, keeping my hands clean?”

Though speaking so, Luo Qianqian knew well, her seemingly innocent hands were not clean since she was a teenager, from self-preservation to later missions, she’d grown accustomed.

”You could say that.”
