"Or perhaps..."
Chuanliu paused deliberately for a second, "You also have a 'whoever sees your face, either kill them or marry them' setting?"
Zhuiming smiled helplessly and made a move to remove his mask.
Chuanliu covered half of his face with one hand, "No, no, no, curiosity killed the cat, I'm not interested in your face."
As she spoke, she ran a few steps, putting some distance between herself and the man.
Zhui Ming strode up to catch up, patted the girl's shoulder, and a magnetic male voice rang in her ear:
"Boss."
A man's voice came from beside my ear.
The girl instinctively turned her head and saw a handsome face appear before her.
Perhaps because he had spent years hiding in the shadows, Zhui Ming's skin was fairer than most people on the island. He had a high, straight nose and deep-set eyes, which complemented each other like a beautiful painting. The slight upturn of his lips added to his nonchalant and carefree demeanor.
Although he has a somewhat boyish appearance, his profound temperament is like a mysterious veil, enveloping his entire image.
With such looks and such a temperament, if she weren't in a place like Paradise Island, she would probably have already attracted thousands of female fans.
Chuanliu immediately covered his eyes and said in an exaggerated tone, "I didn't see anything, I didn't hear anything, you're not going to kill me, are you?"
He heard Zhui Ming's laughter, which was tinged with mockery. "Once you've seen my face, you're one of my people. Boss, do you have a boyfriend or girlfriend?"
Chuanliu rolled his eyes at him, "Whether I have it or not is none of your business."
Zhuiming nodded from the side, a hint of tea in his voice. "It's really alright. I'm here to join this family, not to break it up."
The girl felt a chill run down her spine; she never expected that an assassin could say such a thing so calmly.
Over the next few days, Chuanliu took Zhuiming for a stroll through the streets, planning to visit each official resident of the Cube City, starting with Aunt Wang Wu.
Aunt Wang was quite disappointed that Xu Zhi didn't win the "10 of Diamonds", but life goes on, and she had completely adapted to Jia's leadership.
"Xiao Xu, she is indeed a very ambitious and capable person."
Aunt Wang sighed and said, "It's a pity that sometimes things don't go as we want. Maybe that's God's will."
"God's will?" Chuanliu repeated in confusion.
Aunt Wang nodded. "I went to talk to Teacher Rugo a while ago. She told me that everyone's fate is predetermined and cannot be changed by human effort. Xiao Chuan, you should also talk to Teacher Rugo often. It's very rewarding."
Jin Rugo? That "Q the Square"?
Aunt Wang's eyes gleamed with fervent emotion; she believed Jin Rugo's words without a doubt.
“Ogawa. Do you know? Everyone’s destiny is predetermined at birth. Just like me, I came to this island without hesitation…”
Aunt Wang unconsciously twirled the prayer beads in her hand, each bead spinning between her fingers, making a soft rubbing sound, as if carrying a certain rhythm that could soothe the restlessness in her heart.
The more Aunt Wang talked to her, the more she admired Jin Rugo's brainwashing ability.
Of course, having faith and something to rely on on this sinful island is perhaps a good thing.
After finishing their business, Aunt Wang reverted to her usual neighborhood auntie manner, winking and pulling Chuanliu aside to whisper, "Is this young man you brought your new boyfriend?"
"Cough cough cough."
Chuanliu almost choked on his saliva, but quickly put on an unspeakable expression and said, "No, he... he's my new bodyguard."
Zhuiming stood behind the girl, maintaining a faint smile, one hand unconsciously playing with the girl's hair.
Upon hearing the word "bodyguard," he seemed to snap out of a dream and stood up straight with seriousness.
Seeing the young man's "clumsy" acting, Aunt Wang Wu obviously didn't believe it. She chuckled twice and said, "Auntie understands. He's just a young man. Just be careful."
Chuanliu knew that after Aunt Wang found out about this, Zhuiming's "gold digger" identity would spread faster than she had planned.
She wanted everyone in the City of Cubes to know the news as soon as possible, so that having someone by her side wouldn't seem out of place.
Sex scandals are always the fastest-spreading gossip.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Zhui Ming was still putting on an act behind him, pretending to be a "pretty boy disguised as a bodyguard," and even Chuan Liu couldn't help but admire his acting skills.
If there were a Best Actor award at this time, I would definitely give it to Chuanliu.
Just then, one of Aunt Wang's subordinates rushed in, interrupting their conversation.
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has happened!" the subordinate exclaimed breathlessly, his face filled with terror.
Aunt Wang frowned and scolded with displeasure, "What's with all the panic? What kind of behavior is this! What happened?"
The person who came glanced furtively at Chuanliu standing to the side and swallowed back what he was about to report.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang clicked her tongue and urged, "Speak your mind. We're all family here, there's nothing you can't say."
The subordinate then continued, "It's Hong Qiankun, he...he..."
As the man finished speaking, his eyes were filled with terror, and his whole body trembled uncontrollably. For a moment, he forgot to finish his sentence.
Aunt Wang's temper was about to explode. "Hong Qiankun? What's wrong? Did he go to Jia Zuowei's place to provoke him again?"
Hong Qiankun and Jia Zuowei have been at odds for quite some time.
Especially after the voting ended, Jia became very successful, and Hong Qiankun had more and more opinions about him.
The subordinate came to his senses, "Hong Qiankun, he... he was wiped out."
"What?"
Aunt Wang, who had been fiddling with her prayer beads, suddenly stopped, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she tentatively asked, "Was it Jia Zuowei who did it?"
The subordinate nodded repeatedly, the agonizing screams from Hong Qiankun's house still seemingly echoing in his ears. "I saw it with my own eyes. The entire 'Square 8' mansion... not a single person was spared, even the homeless people in his household were dealt with!"
Aunt Wang picked up the Buddhist prayer beads from the ground again, twirling them one by one, silently reciting something in her heart, trying to calm the turmoil in her heart.
Aunt Wang and Hong Qiankun had some acquaintance, but because Hong Qiankun was too flamboyant, Aunt Wang did not get too close to him.
Now that the person has died, aside from some regret, there is not too much sadness.
"The Hong family is in chaos right now, and there are quite a few people watching and making a fuss. Do you want to go and take charge?" The subordinate glanced at Chuanliu again and asked Aunt Wang in a low voice.
