Chapter 252 - 240: Lurking 2
In the Lin You household
Inside the living room
Lin You blinked her eyes, looking at the young woman sitting before her. Beside her was a similarly puzzled Feil.
There was also Merrill, sitting with her legs crossed to one side. The blonde woman was dressed in a white medical robe, assuming the posture of a female doctor. She held a steaming cup of green tea in her hands. As soon as she heard Lin You’s account, she immediately rushed over.
The blonde young woman sat opposite the three of them, also holding a cup of green tea, sipping it slowly.
"I am a mercenary hired by Xilan Saersi to protect you," the woman said calmly, "You can call me Cheng Guang. Additionally, I am a top electronic safety monitoring expert, so your safety will be my responsibility from now on."
"Where is Uncle Xilan now?" Lin You asked.
"He is currently unable to tell you. However, compared to his abilities, Lin You, you should be more concerned about your own safety," Cheng Guang said calmly.
"Do you have any way to prove it? We can’t just take your word for it," Merrill said coldly. "I know Xilan; he definitely wouldn’t have sent you here without any proof. That is, of course, assuming you really were hired by him."
"I do," Cheng Guang nodded. "Actually, I am Xilan Saersi’s disciple. To put it in terms you might understand from Hua Nation’s traditions, he raised me, he is my foster father. But he’s not just any foster father who raised me; he also introduced me to the world of mercenary work. This information should be easy for you to verify."
"I see," Merrill’s expression softened slightly. "I was thinking, how could Xilan be so generous to actually pay to have someone come over."
