Yi Zexi shrieked. The loan shark's head was snapped to the other side, facing his back. She had seen this only happen in horror movies. The ghost would creep up behind an innocent fodder role, grab his head and turn it a full one-eighty degree as it sinisterly laughed. The sound of bones cracking was the most nerve wracking and disgusting. She felt as if she would puke.

  Happening right in front of her eyes was an experience on a whole nother level. It happened so quickly that she didn't even realize when Lu Bojing stepped up on his feet and grabbed that loan shark's head.

  "Y-You…"

  He could do that?

  She knew he was strong. But he was THIS strong?

  Lu Bojing stiffened. His face paled, and he began shedding tears. "I…I-I am sorry…I am so sorry! I should have warned you before."

  "Warned?"

  "To c-close your eyes…" he cried. "I am sorry…"

  Yi Zexi indeed felt dizzy seeing the loan shark's dead body. It was harder to bear because of his head.

  "You…" she breathed hard, "You really should have. You acted just like a ghost in a horror movie!"

  Lu Bojing blinked his teary eyes. They turned even wetter. "I…I…I am not a ghost," he choked, and his voice was hardly audible. "I am a human."

  Yi Zexi was still shaken. "I really can't be too sure of that."

  He burst into tears even more.

  "Ah! D-Don't cry. I mean however…he died, you still protected me. Thank you…"

  Lu Bojing shook his head. "You don't have to thank me. I c-couldn't have let him assault you…"

  Yi Zexi said, "Come here. Show me your hands."

  Lu Bojing obediently sat before her and showed her his hands, palms up. She held his hands, brushing her fingers along his palms.

  Damm, are they even a man's hands? So delicate just like a woman's! How the hell does he have so much power?

  She suddenly realized that she was touching and feeling his hands even though they were still practically strangers. She coughed and let them go. "Y-Your hands are beautiful."

  Lu Bojing tilted his head.

  Yi Zexi felt stupid.

  Ugh!

  "I mean they look so delicate but are so strong."

  "Oh."

  She peeked at him.

  This man…he didn't hesitate even once to kill him. She thought he might injure him at the most, but Lu Bojing didn't even blink his eyelids.

  Her expression turned cold.

  Not that this bastard required any pity!

  "Oh fuck! What will we do now? The guards are gonna be so shit furious seeing him dead. What if they hurt us?"

  Lu Bojing pursed his lips. "I didn't think that far…"

  She sighed.

  He hugged his knees and whispered, "If they try to hurt you, then I will just kill them again."

  Her jaw dropped in shock.

  For a normal person, it shouldn't be so easy to talk about killing others. But he says as if it's so natural. Just who is he?

  But on the other side, she felt a tad bit happier too to know that he didn't hesitate at all to go that far for her.

  The door suddenly opened, and a guard stepped in.

  Shit! We haven't decided what to say!

  The guard looked at the dead body.

  "L-Look, look. It's not our fault-"

  Ah?

  Yi Zexi carefully looked at her and realized that…


  This guard…is a woman? There are women guards working here too?

  Lu Bojing wasn't so surprised because he had already seen her with Li Dong twice.

  "I…I…"

  Lu Bojing stammered. "I-I killed him. He was trying to r-rape her. She was just paying her debt back. B-But he was going out of bounds. So don't hurt her."

  Yi Zexi widened her eyes. "What do you mean? That it's okay to hurt you? Idiot! Lu Bojing was only trying to protect me. It's not his fault!"

  Lu Bojing cried in happiness. He felt as if Lihua was talking right now.

  Jia raised her brow.

  Then the two previous guards came in and were horrified to witness the scene. "This…What the hell!? Who killed him? Who dare!"

  Yi Zexi gulped.

  Damn it! We are done for.

  Lu Bojing tremblingly came forward to speak up when Jia coldly said, "I killed him."

  The guards were dumbfounded, so were Lu Bojing and Yi Zexi.

  "What? You killed him? Who the hell do you think you are?"

  Jia was unfazed. "This man was trying to **** this girl. The women here are not for satisfying your physical needs. They are here for Boss Li's experiments. He wants their bodies in a perfect condition. This man would have hardly cared about it."

  "That doesn't mean-"

  "Well, if you want to answer Boss Li and become his next subject, then by all his means, go ahead. I don't need to tell you that you two would be in great trouble for allowing him to meet her."

  "Hey! This girl wanted to meet him!"

  "So?" Jia sneered in her mask. "When did the guards here become so obedient to listen to any captive's requests? Today, she asked you to let her meet him. Tomorrow, someone else might ask to let her go. So? Will you free her?"

  The guards gritted their teeth.

  The second guard was in disbelief. "Did you really snap his head?"

  Doesn't that require too much strength? Can a woman really do it?

  Jia smiled. "Do you want me to snap your head and prove it to you? It will be my pleasure."

  He froze.

  The other guard whispered, "Let this end here. We cannot let Boss Li know that we allowed this meeting, or he will kill us. Let's just quietly dispose his body."

  He quickly agreed. He coldly shot a glare at Yi Zexi. "Don't you dare fucking open your mouth about this."

  She pretended to be afraid. "I-I won't!"

  The guards quickly took out the loan shark's body and left. Jia shut the door and locked it.

  Yi Zexi asked, "You…Why did you lie?"

  She knelt in front of them and stared at Lu Bojing. He jolted and scuttled backward.

  Yi Zexi coughed. It was a mystery to read Lu Bojing's reactions. He was someone who kill at the snap of his fingers, yet he would be a scaredy cat at times.

  Jia slowly lowered her mask, making Lu Bojing feel as if thunder struck him.

  "S-Song Jia?"
