bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 469 Messenger

The night in Haizhou is shrouded in quiet darkness.

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on the quiet streets, adding a touch of tranquility to this dilapidated port city.

Yang Kai sat alone in the study, with the Chamber of Commerce's account books and various matters that needed to be dealt with spread out in front of him.

He had just taken over the position of president of the Chamber of Commerce and was shouldering enormous pressure and responsibility.

Especially in such a way and at such a strange time.

The candlelight in the study flickered faintly, illuminating Yang Kai's slightly tired face.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes were gleaming with thought.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from outside the window, breaking the silence in the room.

Yang Kai's heart tightened, and he quickly put down his pen, staring sharply in the direction of the window. He tightly grasped the dagger on the table and stood up vigilantly.

The window was pushed open silently, and a dark shadow leaped into the room as lightly as a ghost.

Yang Kai held his breath and secretly looked at the person who came. This was a masked woman, slender, and as agile as a cat. She was obviously an extraordinary master.

who?

Yang Kai did not act rashly, he knew he had to stay calm at this moment.

He stood there, holding the dagger tightly, staring at the woman, trying to find some clues from her behavior.

The woman was wrapped in a black nightgown, with only a pair of bright eyes flashing coldly in the moonlight. Her steps were light and made almost no sound, like a ghost in the dark night.

The woman walked slowly towards Yang Kai, her eyes revealing a calm and confident look.

Yang Kai felt an invisible pressure coming from her, and he became even more fearful.

"who are you?"

Yang Kai finally spoke, his voice low and with a hint of alertness.

  Are they remnants of the Daqimen? Are they from the imperial court?

The woman did not answer, but just looked at Yang Kai quietly, as if examining his every subtle movement.

Her silence made Yang Kai more suspicious, but at the same time it also made him realize that the other party's strength was extraordinary.

Yang Kai felt an inexplicable sense of oppression and was secretly alert.

"Why are you visiting so late at night?"

Yang Kai continued to probe, trying to find the answer from the other party's reaction. He had to stay calm and not let the other party see his nervousness.

The woman remained silent, her eyes sharp.

Her silence made Yang Kai's fear grow, and also made him more alert.

He knew that the woman had ill intentions, but he could not act rashly, otherwise he might be in greater danger.

Yang Kai took a deep breath and tried his best to look calm.

He knew that every subtle movement at this moment might be captured by the other party. The woman's eyes were still fixed on him, as if waiting for him to speak first.

"Since you don't want to reveal your identity, I won't ask any more questions."

Yang Kai said coldly, trying to break the deadlock. He had to remain tough and not lose to the other party in momentum.

The woman nodded slightly, seeming to approve of Yang Kai's attitude.

"How is President Yang?" she asked. Yang Kai was stunned, not knowing why the other party asked this question, but still answered: "No problem."

  The woman smiled and added:

"It's best that you are safe. The reason why your entire family was not executed is because the Imperial Court's Chinese Security Department kept you for use."

  National Security Department?

Yang Kai's heart was shocked. Although he remained calm on the surface, he could not hide his inner doubts and surprise.

He didn't know much about the affairs of the court. It seemed that he had never heard of the National Security Department, and he didn't understand why he was involved with it.

“National Security Bureau?” Yang Kai frowned and asked, with a hint of confusion in his voice, “Why did you save my life?”

The woman did not answer Yang Kai's question, but just looked at him coldly and continued: "No need to ask more. I tell you this just to let you know who saved your life."

Yang Kai felt the chill in the woman's eyes and knew that she was not joking. He tried to calm down and asked, "What do you want me to do?"

The woman smiled slightly. "You don't need to know too much. Just follow the instructions. The National Security Department has its own arrangements. You just need to follow their orders."

Yang Kai's doubts grew even stronger, but he knew that the woman in front of him was much stronger than him and that he had no chance of winning if he fought her head-on.

He could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and whispered: "Okay, I agree to cooperate, but I hope you can give me an explanation."

The woman nodded slightly, acknowledging Yang Kai's answer.

Her eyes softened a little, but her tone was still cold: "There will be an explanation, but not now. Remember, your fate is tied to the National Security Bureau, so don't act rashly."

Yang Kai took a deep breath and tried to suppress the uneasiness and anger in his heart.

He knew that he had no choice but to temporarily submit to the other party's arrangement. He looked up at the woman carefully, trying to find more information from her appearance. The woman had delicate features and a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. Although she was wrapped in a black nightgown, it was still difficult to hide her beauty and coldness.

“Who are you?” Yang Kai couldn’t help but ask, trying to find out the woman’s true identity.

The woman sneered and said no more. She disappeared out of the window like a ghost, leaving behind a quiet darkness.

"Qiu Hanying is downstairs. She brought it to you."

Her last words made Yang Kai's pupils tremble suddenly. He stared blankly in the direction where the woman left. After a long time, he woke up as if from a dream. He rushed out of the room anxiously, shouting Bu Qianqian and Brother Yun to come downstairs together.

The black figure moved through the night like a ghost.

She walked lightly and quickly through several blocks. Only when she was sure that no one was following her did she slow down and take off her mask.

In the moonlight, Xiao Hongdou's face was revealed, pretty and cute, with a bit of pride and satisfaction in her eyes.

She patted her cheeks gently and said to herself, "Huh, I finally completed the task!"

Xiao Hongdou did not have a deep understanding of her own strength. She just relied on her intuition and some skills she had learned before to complete the task tonight.

She didn't know that the reason why Yang Kai cooperated smoothly was because he was deeply afraid of her current strength. She just felt that she seemed to run much faster and jump much higher than before.

At this moment, Xiao Hongdou felt that things were going very smoothly and her heart was filled with a small sense of accomplishment.

“Yang Kai, that guy, seems quite obedient!” She murmured softly, with a smile on her lips. “Now the National Security Department has completed one step of its mission. What should we do next?”

She recalled what had just happened and couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

Although she tries to appear cold on the outside, she is actually a naive and lovely girl at heart.

She didn't know how much pressure her cold appearance and strong aura brought to Yang Kai, she just thought she had completed the task skillfully.

"Now that everything His Highness mentioned has been settled, we can go back now!" Little Red Bean jumped lightly, as if to release the joy in her heart.

She hummed a little tune as she walked, completely unaware of how powerful she was.
