Inside the room, Murong Xue kept walking around for an hour since Lin Yang left.
Suddenly, she heard footsteps and turned around, hoping to see Lin Yang come back. However, she only saw a female stranger.
"Who are you? Why are you in Yang's room?" The woman was the sister of Lin Yang's good friend, Wang Zi.
Murong Xue paused for a moment when she was questioned by the woman. Then she answered indifferently, "I'm his friend."
"His friend? How come I have never seen you before?" Wang Zi looked her up and down, eyes burning with jealousy.
Sensing her unfriendliness, Murong Xue just ignored her and walked to the bar counter to make another cup of coffee.
Wang Zi walked up to her and pulled at her clothes. "Answer me. Are you dumb?"
Frowning, Murong Xue shook off her hand and said coldly, "Go and ask Lin Yang if you have questions."
"How dare you call his name? You are shameless."
Murong Xue did not respond to her as if she did not exist.
Annoyed, Wang Zi stopped Murong Xue from moving. "Don't touch Yang's stuff." She was trying to figure out who this woman was as she had never seen such a beautiful woman in Black City before. Then it occurred to her that this woman might be a foreigner.
Wang Zi thought that this woman must be a whore sent by the people who wanted to please Lin Yang, which so many people had done before. However, Lin Yang never took a look at those women sent to him as gifts, not to mention let them go inside his room. But those women were not as pretty as this one.
In Wang Zi's eyes, Lin Yang was not someone who judged people by their looks, so she believed that this woman managed to evade the guards here and break into Lin Yang's room.
Thinking of this, Wang Zi grabbed Murong Xue's arm and dragged her outside. "Get out. Women like you can't go inside Yang's room."
Murong Xue shook off her hand easily. "Let go of me. Lin Yang asked me to stay here."
"No way. You liar." Wang Zi was so annoyed that she reached out to scratch the beautiful face in front of her, her long nails waving rapidly in the air.
But Murong Xue was anyone but a pushover. She used one hand to protect her face and slapped Wang Zi hard with the other one.
With the clear sound of the slap, red finger marks appeared on Wang Zi's face.
Looking at Murong Xue with an astonished face, Wang Zi was too surprised to say or do anything, tears standing on the rims of her red eyes. Soon she realized what happened and jumped at Murong Xue. "Slut, you hurt me. I'll beat you to death."
Wang Zi's parents both died when she was very young. Her family was not rich, but her brother had tried his best to satisfy her. As they grew up, her brother managed to have a career and she was thus able to live an extravagant life like a lady. Then her brother met Lin Yang and followed him, which gave her a higher social status. People in this city all knew her and were always flattering her.
Therefore, when Wang Zi was slapped by a nameless woman today, she was furious.
She attacked Murong Xue with both her hands and feet by instinct. Murong Xue was hit several times, but Wang Zi was no better than her.
Murong Xue cursed Lin Yang quietly for bringing the crazy woman here.
"Stop. What are you doing?" Lin Yang came back, only to see the weird situation.
Lin Yang's shout was loud enough to stop the two from wrestling.
Wang Zi let go of Murong Xue and replaced her scary face with a pitiful look. Her eyes became red and tears were ready to drop any second now. She threw herself in Lin Yang's arms. "Yang, she hit me." Her voice fully demonstrated how aggrieved she was.
Murong Xue rolled her eyes and tidied up her clothes. Giving Lin Yang a glare, she said helplessly, "Lin Yang, take this crazy woman away. I'm in pain." There were a few scratches on her face. Wang Zi was serious when she wanted to destroy Murong Xue's face and she did her best.
Lin Yang gently pushed Wang Zi aside and walked up to Murong Xue. Seeing the "cat whiskers" on her face, he laughed.
Murong Xue changed her face when he laughed. She did not expect Lin Yang to be able to laugh now. In her eyes, he was the one to blame, so she glared at him.
However, her funny face with the annoyed expression made her look more like a cute cat fluffing up.
Lin Yang found her very adorable. He reached out to touch her head and said with a smile, "The bathroom is on the second floor. Go and tidy yourself up."
Murong Xue slapped his hand away and gave him a glare before she went upstairs.
Meanwhile, Wang Zi remained a grim face when Lin Yang pushed her aside. When she saw how gentle he was to Murong Xue, her face paled, eyes full of shock.
Lin Yang seemed a friendly man, but Wang Zi knew how unavailable he was after she spent two years going after him. All the time, she used her brother as an excuse to get close to him, but Lin Yang always regarded her only as his friend's sister.
Wang Zi bit her lip and asked unwillingly, "Brother… Brother Yang, who is she?"
Lin Yang stared at her coldly. "Haven't I told you to stay away from my room?"
Wang Zi's face became darker and her expression was twisted. She would have never dared to come inside if she had not seen Murong Xue at the doorstep and lost her mind. She bit her pale lip and asked, "Why she could come inside?" She was unwilling to give up.
Lin Yang was not too stupid to realize how Wang Zi felt about him, but he did not feel love for her. He did not want to refuse his friend's sister explicitly, so he hinted at her several times. However, his euphemism did not work. Wang Zi did not understand him, or she was pretending that she did not know.
"She is my woman. Of course she can." Lin Yang wanted to take this opportunity to force her to give up.
Eyes wide open, Wang Zi started shedding tears. She opened her mouth several times, but she failed to say anything; her body was shaking because of pain. All of these provided her with a very sympathetic figure.
Lin Yang said to her in an even colder tone, "Get out if you have nothing important to say." Guilt flashed in Lin Yang's eyes, but Wang Zi did not notice it before he hid it.
"Lin Yang, you asshole." Wang Zi was unable to control herself now, running out crying.
Lin Yang's words hurt her much deeper than what Murong Xue did to her.
Frowning, Lin Yang knew that it was for the best and it was necessary for her to grow up. After all, he only treated her as a younger sister.
"Huh, your sweetheart abandoned you?" Murong Xue walked downstairs just in time to see Wang Zi run out crying and she could not help satirizing him.
Lin Yang looked up at her and found that Murong Xue's clothes were changed. And a smell of fresh fragrance from her reached his nose even though he was sitting on the sofa downstairs. Moreover, he noticed that the scratches on her face were all gone. He asked in amazement, "Are you human?" He wondered how she could recover within ten minutes.
Then he recalled what had happened at noon: the gauze wrapping up Murong Xue's wounded face disappeared and her face was repaired when she reappeared after half an hour. Lin Yang did not pay attention to it at that time because he thought that the gauze was a disguise, but now he knew it was not the truth.
The more he thought about it, the weirder he found it. He even took a look at Murong Xue's shadow.
Murong Xue laughed out loudly. "Hahaha! You are funny. Why did you take a look at my shadow? Do you think I'm a ghost?"
Lin Yang's embarrassed face froze for a moment. "You are so strange. Nobody can just disappear like that. And what about the wound on your face before?"
Murong Xue answered him directly instead of pretending a humble look. "I could only tell you that I can do it my own way. And the wound on my face was healed. I'm a very good doctor."
Lin Yang looked at her in disbelief. "You are a good doctor?" No doctors were able to heal wounds within ten minutes even with modern technologies.
Murong Xue smiled. "What? You don't believe me? Do you want to try my overpowering powder?"
Hearing that, Lin Yang asked with a grim face, "Has anyone never told you to be more likable?"
"I'm likable. Just look at me." As they were talking, the coffee was done. Murong Xue continued, "So, what did you find?" She was planning to come back to Wang Qing by herself if Lin Yang failed.
Lin Yang answered, "I know the location now, but Qing is very concerned about your friend. He sent many seasoned men guarding him."
Murong Xue had anticipated the situation. Since she stayed here for the whole day, Wang Qing must have been ready for her. After all, he could only use Feng Ziling to threaten her.
