Chapter 628 - 624: The Assassin Reappears
"Zhiqing, you’re really a bit forgetful, aren’t you? I was your high school classmate. Have you forgotten? There was a very ordinary girl who often sat in the back corner of the classroom, always quiet. Do you not remember? Zhiqing, I never expected that after so many years we could meet again. Are you here to watch Mu Qingxue’s concert today as well? Do you like Mu Qingxue too? I love the song she sang tonight, ’The Ugly Duckling.’ I wonder when I’ll be able to find my own Mr. Right."
The woman’s face was brimming with a radiant smile, and from her tone, she sounded just like a long-lost classmate. As she spoke, she walked toward Bai Zhiqing.
However, the more she acted like this, the more Lu Tianxing felt it was eerie because he detected an extreme discomfort coming from this woman, like the feeling you get when a venomous snake targets you in the jungle, yet he couldn’t sense any killing intent coming from her at all.
There were only two plausible explanations for this reaction: first, this woman was truly Bai Zhiqing’s classmate; second, the woman was very strong, skilled in assassination, and thus an assassin—capable of perfectly concealing her intent to kill so that not even he could detect the slightest hint.
"Wife, wait a second."
Seeing Bai Zhiqing about to walk over, Lu Tianxing frowned slightly, quickly pulling Bai Zhiqing back and said with a smile, "Ha ha, classmate, it’s so late now, aren’t you going home to your husband? Besides, it’s dangerous for a woman to not return home so late. If something happened, it would be crying to heaven in vain and calling to earth with no answer, right? There’s no rush to catch up, don’t you think?"
"It’s okay, I just wanted to say hello to Zhiqing. Have you become so successful now that you don’t even recognize an old classmate? Sigh, never mind, you were always cold in high school anyway, it didn’t matter whether you had friends or not," the woman said, shaking her head, ready to turn and leave.
"Lu Tianxing..."
Bai Zhiqing hadn’t finished her sentence when Lu Tianxing interrupted, "Wife, do you really think she’s your classmate? What a coincidence to run into a classmate like this in such a place."
Lu Tianxing chuckled coldly, his gaze frosty as he stared at the woman and said in a deep voice, "Who exactly are you."
"I am Bai Zhiqing’s classmate, what’s wrong?" The woman turned around, a perplexed look on her face.
