Pick Up a Killer as Girlfriend Chapter 1006 1006: Love Lost, Love Buried

"Ren Ling, Ren Ling..."

Old Mrs. Ren slowly walked to Ren Ling's room door and called twice.

Not hearing any response, she pushed the door open and went inside.

In the room, on a pink bed, Ren Ling was holding a stuffed doll and staring blankly.

Not crying, not making a fuss, not speaking or shouting.

"Child, if you want to cry, just let it out, don't hold it in..."

Seeing the girl's dazed expression, Old Mrs. Ren naturally felt heartache.

Back when everyone wanted to stop Xiaofan from going to Japan, everyone knew that this trip would be a near-death experience for him.

At the ti, everyone had the ability to stop him and keep him in Huaxia.

Yet, not a single person stepped forward to block him.

Because everyone knew, including Xiaofan's grandfather Ye Aotian, that if Xiaofan were stopped from going to Japan, he would never again find happiness in his lifeti.

Initially, it was thought that without Inner Strength, no matter how clever he was, he couldn't achieve it. Yet, Ren Ling overheard a conversation between herself and Ye Aotian and gambled on the forbidden 'third ti.'

Unexpectedly, she won the gamble. Xiaofan regained his Inner Strength and acquired even more.

He went, but... couldn't return safely.

Honestly, Ren Ling didn't even know what she was staring blankly about. Guilt? If she hadn't run off to tell Xiaofan how to regain Inner Strength, he wouldn't have gone to Japan; therefore, he wouldn't have...

"He's not dead; why should I cry..."

"Ren Ling..."

"Until I see his body, I absolutely won't believe he is dead. Right, Ye Xiaofan isn't that easy to kill. Absolutely not."

"Child..."

"Grandma, please let be alone for a while, okay?"

Matters regarding the chairman of the Ren Family should be put aside for now. To begin with, Xiaofan was only nominal, because Old Mrs. Ren didn't want others to think the Ren Family lacked n to bully.

Now, with the pillar truly fallen, what should we do in the future?

Chongtian, I have tried my best, but things haven't gone as wished. Once I pass away and seek you, you... must forgive . Honestly, Xiaofan, this child is really quite good; it's just unfortunate... sigh...

"Didn't you say you wanted to have a baby with ?"

"Didn't you promise to watch horror movies with ?"

"Didn't you say you'd co back and hold again?"

"Didn't you say... Liar, big liar."

Facing the big bear plush toy, Ren Ling accused it expressionlessly.

But as she spoke, two lines of hot tears unknowingly fell down.

When that plush toy grew blurrier in front of her eyes, Ren Ling's body finally began to tremble slightly. Then she tightly hugged the toy, pulling the blanket over her little head.

Her mind played his image repeatedly—his tall stature, his eternally gentle and composed deanor. It always seed like no anxious look had ever surfaced on his face.

Every ti he saw her, he would show a sweet smile. Yeah, sotis he was flirtatious, but never vulgar. Her favorite was when he would gently pat her little head and look at her dotingly...

In the future, will she truly never see him like that again? No, she doesn't want that; Ren Ling doesn't...

Falling for her, Ren Ling was completely invested. Even if she imagined the worst outco, it was just for another woman to not want her anymore, right? But don't let never see you again...

Downstairs, Ren Ying stood leaning against the wall, quietly listening to the intermittent sounds of sobbing coming from upstairs.

His face showed no expression either.

He was soone who didn't express himself well. He originally thought he would never make a normal friend in his life.

But after eting Xiaofan, he then t Li San and the others in the group.

He beca open-minded, even often engaging in lighthearted banter with others.

When he was told Xiaofan was the Miss's husband and the pillar of the Ren Family, he fully regarded Xiaofan as his master, although Xiaofan always treated him as a brother.

Now, hearing these news, he felt an emptiness inside. What can he do in the future? What is there to do? Ren Ying knew he absolutely wasn't suited for a high position, even though Grandma intended to support him as the future successor of the Ren Family, he would definitely find an excuse to decline.

Everyone's heart felt shrouded in a dark cloud, living under oppression.

Yanhuang Soul, dical departnt, Shen Zuimo's ward.

"What is it?"

Upon learning Xiaofan had a ssage for Li Kuo to relay, Shen Zuimo's eyes suddenly brightened...

But soon, she realized.

"If he has sothing to say, why must he relay it through you? Doesn't he have my phone number?"

Indeed, Shen Zuimo wasn't so easily fooled. One sentence, and the excuse Li Kuo had prepared was choked back.

"How should I know what he wants? Perhaps because he's busy in Japan, or maybe because he's afraid you'd scold him, so he asked to relay it." Li Kuo hurriedly made up a lie.

Though Xiaofan had inford him of the ssage to relay, he hadn't taught Li Kuo how to handle Shen Zuimo's suspicion. Quite tricky indeed.

"Speak." Shen Zuimo said slowly.

"Oh, he sent a voice ssage on WeChat, let play it for you." Li Kuo said, taking out his phone and playing the pre-set recording for Shen Zuimo.

"Just tell her, I'll be heading to a top-secret base for a mission in the next couple of days, there's no signal there, so no phone calls."

"Oh, what if she doesn't believe ?"

"How can you be so dumb, let her hear the recording."

"Oh, or maybe you should say a few words to her."

"Yes, Zuimo, stay well at ho and wait for . I will definitely co back for you."

This was the recorded dialogue Li Kuo produced.

But... Li Kuo didn't know Shen Junjie had already inford Shen Zuimo about Xiaofan's disappearance.

"He sent it last night, fearing you were already resting, so he didn't disturb you..."

"Enough." Shen Zuimo interrupted Li Kuo.

Looking out the window, Shen Zuimo let out a helpless bitter smile.

What a Ye Xiaofan, indeed. Had she not known in advance, perhaps she really would have been deceived.

"Cough, cough."

"Hm?"

Shen Junjie originally thought Li Kuo was talking about sothing from a few days ago, but to his surprise, Li Kuo ntioned it was last night's recording, which totally exposed the truth. He quickly coughed as a sign.

Yet, while Li Kuo was still puzzled by Shen Junjie's strange look, Shen Zuimo suddenly turned around and threw the antidote forcefully out of the window.

"No, Zuimo." Shen Junjie said.

Yesterday, it had rained, and although the sun ca out today, the ground hadn't dried thoroughly. If the antidote t water, not even an Immortal could save Shen Zuimo.

But she originally didn't want to live anymore. Not having the antidote might be better. Right, Xiaofan... If there's a next life, I will definitely be a good wife for you.
