Chapter 345 Reunion with Lu Jinye

"I forgot to introduce you."

Blind Assassin walked forward with a cold face and pushed Wen Ni's lower back forward with one hand.

"His name is Hua Ying. From today onwards, he will replace Xiong Yue and become my right-hand man. You must treat him as you would treat me, and you are not allowed to be rude!"

"Oh, it's Brother Huaying! We greet you, Brother! Please feel free to call us if you have any orders!" The foremen immediately bowed and scraped, their faces humble.

Wen Ni remained silent.

Blind Assassin raised his hand and waved, "Alright, everyone go and get busy, don't waste time!"

"yes!!"

The crowd retreated, their bodies hunched over.

Blind Thorn slowly turned and stood beside Wen Ni, placing one hand on the wooden stake.

With slender fingers, he held a cigarette and offered it to me.

"Want a smoke? Orange flavored."

"..." Blind Assassin paused for a second, then chuckled, reached out and took the lit cigarette, took a deep breath, and smelled a strong orange aroma. "Thank you, Brother Huaying."

"The fearsome Blind Assassin, thanking me?"

Wen Ni shrugged, her gaze falling on the bandage still stuck to Blind Thorn's face, which even had an orange pattern.

He seemed a little uncomfortable being stared at by her.

Blind Thrust raised his hand and tore off the bandage, revealing a small bruise underneath.

"Brother Huaying, please don't do things like standing up for the laborer like you did just now. The Imperial Alliance has eyes and ears everywhere, and this cannibalistic place has no room for any kindness!"

"I was forced into this circle. To expect me to abandon my humanity and become as cold-blooded as you? I'm sorry, that's quite difficult," Wen Ni chuckled.

"You're quite frank!" Blind Assassin looked at her with interest.

"I'll be honest with you." Wen Ni pinched the cigarette she hadn't finished smoking.

As she spoke, she turned her head slightly to look at Blind Thorn beside her, her tone gentle.

“I have a younger brother back in my hometown, who is about your age. Every time I see you, I think of him. So, my actions towards you last night were because I treated you as my brother and that's why I overstepped my bounds. I hope Mr. Blind Thorn will not hold it against me.”

"Younger brother?" The long-unheard address made Blind Thorn's eyes light up, and his grip on the railing tightened slightly. "Brother Hua Ying, from now on, you can treat me as your younger brother, okay?"

"How could I dare? Don't joke around."

"I'm not kidding! I really like you, Brother Huaying!" Blind Thorn pulled Wen Ni's arm, his eyes burning with passion and seriousness!

Wen Ni stared blankly for a moment, then raised her hand and poked his forehead. "I know, little brother."

"Um!"

Blind Thorn's eyes sparkled, making him look like a simple, innocent boy!

Ke Wenni clearly understood.

He is the Blind Assassin, the Blind Assassin of the Imperial Alliance.

Wen Ni turned around and looked at the sunset. The smile on her lips turned cold, and her eyes were filled with an indescribable mix of emotions.

She has already drawn the key person into the scheme, and her plan is about to take its most important step...

The sunset was brilliant, like a burning fire.

The next few days.

Wen Ni continued to follow Blind Assassin, performing simple, insignificant tasks. Before she knew it, a month had passed, and Blind Assassin gave Wen Ni three days off, saying it was a chance for her to go home and visit her family!

Wen Ni understood that the holiday arrangement wouldn't be that simple, but it certainly wouldn't be complicated either.

She knew what was going on.

In addition, thinking of the familiar figure she saw in front of the clubhouse that day, Wen Ni felt that she really needed to go back and find her brother Gang.

On Saturday morning, she boarded a bus alone to a small fishing village in the south!

It took several hours of bumpy travel to reach our destination.

Smelling the familiar scent of sea salt in the air, I gently pushed open the familiar courtyard gate and saw Maggie squatting on the ground washing clothes!

Hearing someone enter the courtyard, Maggie asked without looking up, "Brother, you're back? Did you find out anything about Hua Ying? How is she doing with the Blind Assassin of the Imperial Alliance?"

"Brother? Why aren't you saying anything? You..."

After washing the last piece of clothing, Maggie looked up in confusion, but stopped abruptly when she saw the person standing at the door!

She stood there stunned for a long time, then stood up straight as if she had been frightened, accidentally knocking over the basin of water used for washing clothes!

Even though his pants were soaked, he seemed oblivious and rushed over to hug Wen Ni tightly!

"Hua Ying!!"

“Machi…”

Wen Ni smiled faintly.

Maggie's eyes reddened, her voice choked with emotion, and she frantically touched Huaying's arm. "Huaying, why is your facial injury healing so slowly? Did you not apply the medicine on time? I feel like you've lost weight again. Did they bully you at Blind Assassins' place? Have you been released?"

"Blind Assassin gave me three days off. Don't worry, he's treating me well." Wen Ni shook her head.

"Really?"

"Really, really~" Wen Ni brushed the stray hairs from Ma Qi's forehead. "Where's Ge Gang? Why isn't he home? Isn't today his day off?"

“My brother and Wenye went to his friend’s place to inquire about you, and also bought some things for you…” Maggie wiped away tears of excitement from the corners of her eyes.

"Wenye?"

Upon hearing this name, Wen Ni frowned.

Just as Maggie was about to continue talking to her, she heard footsteps and voices coming from outside the courtyard.

Turning his eyes in response to the sound,

When Wen Ni's gaze fell on the person walking in through the courtyard gate, she even paused for a second!

How could it be... really him?

A tall man stood next to Ge Gang.

He was dressed simply in a short-sleeved shirt and trousers, his face hidden under a baseball cap and mask, but those familiar eyes and brows were one that Wen Ni could never mistake in her entire life!

Lu Jinye...

Is it him? What's he doing here? Why is he here?

Despite the countless questions churning in her mind, Wen Ni only dared to glance at him briefly, and calmly greeted the stunned and extremely excited Ge Gang with a composed smile!

"cousin."

"Hua Ying..."

Brother was so excited that he pushed everything in his hands into Lu Jinye's hands!

He strode forward and gave Wen Ni a big hug without any hesitation.

"Hua Ying! I've been waiting and waiting for you to come back! It's been over a month, and your face is still covered in bruises. It's so swollen I almost didn't recognize you! How were your two months at the Imperial Alliance? Did Blind Assassin give you any trouble? Although those people are ruthless, they still show some mercy to us locals. As long as you behave, at least you won't be killed!"

"Cousin, this is the first time you've ever cared about me like this!" Wen Ni shook her head with a smile, teasing him for his incessant concern!

Brother Gang smiled slightly, then turned his head away in regret, muttering, "Hua Ying! It was my fault before, it's all my fault! I was narrow-minded and made wild guesses about you!"

"I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously?" Wen Ni raised an eyebrow and smiled, patting Ge Gang on the shoulder. "It's all my own choice that things have come to this point, and I won't blame anyone!"

“Hua Ying…” Ge Gang’s eyes welled up with tears without him even realizing it.

"Brother! You're actually crying!" Maggie suddenly exclaimed, as if she had discovered something new, which greatly livened up the atmosphere.

"You're mistaken! I didn't!" Brother's face flushed red as he glared at his sister, Maggie.

Wen Ni watched them playfully bickering, then just shook her head and smiled.

Out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't ignore Lu Jinye's gaze, that naked and probing look that never left her for a moment!

He probably never imagined that she was Wen Ni...
