"Lao Cao, Lao Cao!"

Tao Fu shouted a few times, Boss Cao finally came back to his senses and looked at him, Tao Fu had to repeat his question again, but Boss Cao secretly glanced at Leng Shiyi, met the other party's cold gaze, and finally decided that it was none of his business, hung high, gritted his teeth, and refused to say anything.

Lin Ruo didn't notice the frightened Boss Cao and the dazed Tao Fu, Lin Ruo frowned imperceptibly-because she knew who this "Leng Eleven" was.

Su Muyu told her about the terrifying killers on the rivers and lakes, Leng Shiyi was among them, and he was the second killer in the world, and it was very likely that it was the "gift" that was listed on the gift list sent by Ye Ling but had never been seen so far.

This is a gift from Ye Ling to her?

Ye Ling mentioned in the letter that although she believed in Lao Qi's loyalty, Lao Qi's kung fu was really lacking, so he specially selected a guard as a gift to her.

This guard has a rebellious personality, but he does what he says.

Is the escort sent by Ye Ling the person in front of him?

Lin Ruo hesitated slightly.

When she got here, she had a feeling that there seemed to be a gaze that had been paying attention to her, and she secretly observed for a long time with her afterglow through the cover of the fan and the fence, and finally locked on Leng Shiyi in the shadows. But she deliberately turned her head away from looking at him, but she didn't notice his gaze on her.

is unruly, and it is particularly appropriate to use it on Leng Shiyi. And he didn't come to the Lin Mansion with the Ye family's car, which was also expected by Ye Ling. Lin Ruo could understand that this was Leng Shiyi observing whether she was qualified to be his employer.

A few days ago, when Su Muyu mentioned that there were masters protecting her, she thought of the people mentioned in Ye Ling's letter, so she deliberately revealed the news to Steward Tao, wanting to pick a few guards to protect her safety. Presumably, this person in the dark found out about Murong Chong's arrangement again, and waited here early. Everything looks natural.

However, when this "natural" person was the second killer in the world, Lin Ruo hesitated.

"You, have we met somewhere?"

Lin Ruo looked at Leng Shiyi and asked tentatively.

But there was no response to the questioning.

Lin Ruo was not angry, but the hesitation in his heart was less than half, so he asked directly: "Then, Leng Shiyi, can I ask you to be my guard?" ”

Lin Ruo's voice was not heavy, although this corner was a little quiet because of the strange atmosphere, but the noisy noise around it drowned out her inquiry, except for Leng Shiyi in front of her, no one else heard it. Otherwise, I'm afraid everyone would be surprised that the dignified and sensible county lord and young lady of the Lin family would be so polite to a slave.

Leng Shiyi still didn't respond, Lin Ruo continued to ask: "Is it okay?" ”

Finally, Leng Shiyi's gaze looked straight at Lin Ruo, and his eyes were fine, as if he was surprised that someone could face such a direct gaze from him without shying away from it.

After a long time, Leng Shiyi finally opened his mouth and spit out two words without any emotion: "Why?" ”

Lin Ruo tilted his head slightly and thought for a while: "Probably...... It's the eye, I think you can be trusted. ”

Leng Shiyi turned his gaze, glanced at the guards Tao Fu had selected for her, and said, "They are good." ”

"So?"

"More than enough."

Lin Ruo chuckled: "But I think the more the merrier." And, I think, compared to them, you give me more peace of mind. ”

Leng Shiyi was silent for a long time, and finally said the longest sentence: "No one has ever said that I will make people feel at ease." ”

"That's because you haven't met someone who is destined."

Lin Ruo hooked the corners of her mouth, now she was completely sure that this Leng Eleven was the guard sent by Ye Ling.

Having made up his mind and glancing back at Tao Fu, Lin Ruo leaned close to Leng Shiyi's ears and whispered in a voice that only two people could hear: "Leng Shiyi, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Leng Shiyi didn't answer, but after a while, he finally moved his stiff body, stood up, and walked towards the alley on the side.

His move startled Boss Cao, and when he walked away, the breath he held in his chest finally came out with a long breath. Tao Fu ignored it and was about to step forward, but he didn't expect Lin Ruo to also stand up, follow the direction of Leng Shiyi, and immediately shouted: "Less...... Son! ”

Lin Ruo stopped, turned around and waved his hand: "It's okay, you don't need to follow." ”

Leng Shiyi didn't stop, but the cold arrogance and killing intent he exuded all over his body did not weaken in the slightest. Although Tao Fu was worried about the safety of the princess-to-be, he didn't appreciate it, and he had no choice but to act by this stubborn and self-asserted young lady.

The alley, where the sun doesn't shine, is a little damp and cold, with the last chill of late spring. Lin Ruo couldn't help but rub his hand through his sleeve, driving away this unfriendly coldness.

"I can say it."

Lin Ruo raised his head and blinked his playful eyes: "What did you say?" ”

Leng Shiyi was slightly stunned by this playful and beautiful face that suddenly appeared, but the usual coldness quickly returned to his face, and he couldn't see anger or other emotions.

Lin Ruo seemed to suddenly realize "oh", with a little scoundrel smile: "Aren't we talking?" ”

Leng Shiyi's brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be slightly angry. But Lin Ruo didn't seem to notice this, and said with a light smile: "You trust me very much, and you will agree to talk to me alone." It's not easy for a killer like you! ”

Leng Eleven's cold gaze immediately shot at Lin Ruo, and for a moment, Lin Ruo's heart couldn't help jumping. But she quickly calmed down and glared at him:

"Why are you glaring at me! I'm not wrong! Although for you, I am a weak woman who is powerless, and I am not worth your beware of at all. But if there are other masters around me, I have agreed with them to take your life, and your wounded body will definitely be the meat of the world, and you will be slaughtered by others. Before becoming a killer, didn't your master warn you that the more seemingly harmless people are, the more you need to be on guard? ”

Leng Shiyi's cold and gloomy gaze fixed on Lin Ruo for a while, and then slowly loosened a little: "How do you know?" ”

Lin Ruo let out a breath: "It seems that I didn't guess wrong, you know who I am, otherwise for someone like me who reveals your identity and situation, your first reaction should be to ask me who I am, but you didn't." Next, you should have killed me, but you didn't. Instead, he asked me how I knew all this. ”

After Lin Ruo finished talking about his speculation, Leng Shiyi didn't say anything, and seemed to acquiesce in her statement.

The corners of his mouth rose slightly: "You promised Ye Ling to save my life." ”

"Mr. Ye didn't mention my name in the letter, how do you know it's me?"

"Intuition."

"Intuition?" Leng Shiyi was obviously not very satisfied with this answer, judging from Ye Ling's description and his observations of her in the past few days, Lin Ruo was definitely not a reckless person who would rely on intuition to make judgments.

"I'm a killer, I'm only going to kill."

"If that's the case," Lin Ruo raised his head slightly, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his determined gaze looked directly into Leng Shiyi's eyes, "Then I was already a dead man four days ago." ”
