Upon hearing her statement, Lu Yunze was slightly startled.
“Looking for me? Shouldn’t you be looking for Luo Yao? Or are you here on behalf of the Execution Division to find Uncle Luo?”
“Neither. It doesn’t matter if it’s me or the Execution Division; I came here specifically to find you.”
As Lü Ziyi spoke, she reached out and pointed at Lu Yunze.
Jiang Sui, who was hiding in the shadows observing them, felt her expression turn even more vicious.
‘She really is a cat thief. I have to find a way to make this woman disappear from the world, and make Lu Yunze forget her existence entirely.’
Just as Jiang Sui was contemplating how to “dispose of the body” without raising suspicion, Lu Yunze spoke again after a brief silence.
“I recall that we don’t have any connection, right? You approaching me out of the blue is actually quite nerve-wracking.”
“Stop playing dumb,” Lü Ziyi scoffed. “Your current act of being harmless and innocent won’t fool me.”
“Huh?”
“The incident two weeks ago—the Black Star Cult’s club and bar, you destroyed them, didn’t you?”
“Hmm… I suppose so.”
Lu Yunze thought about it; he couldn’t completely claim all the credit for that affair.
“And you confiscated an entire room of ‘Boiling Blood’ at that bar, that’s true as well, isn’t it?”
“It is.”
After receiving confirmation, Lü Ziyi took a deep breath.
“I am so furious!”
Jiang Sui and Lu Yunze simultaneously had the same question pop into their heads.
‘What are you angry about?’
“Why are you the one with the luck to claim such a massive achievement!”
Lü Ziyi gritted her teeth, muttering under her breath.
“I used to think you were just a pretty boy kept by Luo Yao, I never expected you to have such capabilities…”
Hearing this, Lu Yunze understood the situation.
This Miss Lü in front of him was likely the type who viewed high achievers among her peers as rivals.
Luo Yao had fame, so she was targeted.
And he, having repeatedly disrupted the Black Star Cult’s plans, had also entered her field of vision.
However, Lu Yunze had no interest in this kind of competition.
“I think you might have misunderstood. I’m not as impressive as you think; I’m just—”
“If that’s true, then explain why you’ve played a key role in everything from the Mistmaster incident last month to the club and bar this time?”
“…”
Lu Yunze didn’t know how to answer that for a moment.
“Why didn’t I notice you before?” Lü Ziyi stared at him like a cat watching prey.
‘Because I’ve been intentionally lowering my presence.’
But he didn’t say it out loud; he was just thinking about how to get rid of her.
“Anyway, that’s how it is.”
Lü Ziyi pulled a business card out of her pocket.
“Even though there are personal reasons on my end, the Execution Division is very interested in you as well.”
“I hope you will consider working with us in the future.”
Looking at the white business card, Lu Yunze hesitated.
Considering the position of the Luo family, he prepared to accept it first.
Just as he reached out his hand—
A crisp voice cut in.
“Thank you for your appreciation of our young master, but the young master does not like to be disturbed.”
Before Lü Ziyi could turn her head, the little maid was already standing between them.
She took the card directly on Lu Yunze’s behalf and put it away.
“You are…” Lü Ziyi raised an eyebrow.
“My name is Jiang Sui, the young master’s personal maid.”
As soon as those words left her lips, even Lu Yunze couldn’t help but mutter in his heart.
‘Since when did you become my personal maid?’
“Oh, it’s you,” Lü Ziyi nodded. “Are you close with Lu Yunze?”
Jiang Sui’s lips curled upward slightly.
“Of course, our relationship has always been very good.”
As she spoke, she pressed herself against Lu Yunze and grabbed his hand.
“The young master’s needs are all taken care of by me. That is why I am his only personal maid.”
“Ah?”
Lü Ziyi was visibly stunned.
“When you say ‘needs,’ you mean…”
“Yes, exactly what you are thinking.”
Jiang Sui’s cheeks flushed slightly as she pressed Lu Yunze’s hand against her cheek.
“The young master isn’t just powerful in skill, his desires are also quite strong. In the entire Luo family, only I can handle his ‘playstyles’.”
“You two…!”
Lü Ziyi’s face turned bright red.
“You’re actually saying things like that in the corridor?!”
“Why wouldn’t I?” Jiang Sui tilted her head. “Only those who cannot satisfy the young master would be embarrassed, right?”
Lü Ziyi’s expression froze completely.
“And you might not know this, but just a week ago, I was wearing black silk stockings…”
“Stop, stop! Don’t say any more!”
Lu Yunze couldn’t take it anymore and covered her mouth with his hand.
“Mmph—”
Jiang Sui pulled away from him.
“Doesn’t the young master also like it when you play the game where I’m not allowed to make a sound?”
“Shut up!”
“I’m not lying.”
“What on earth are you talking about!”
“Young master, I know you can’t wait, but there are outsiders here… unless you want to play—”
“AHHHHHHH!!!”
Lü Ziyi finally suffered a breakdown.
“Don’t treat me like a part of your perverse games!”
After that, she fled in panic, her twin tails disappearing quickly at the end of the corridor.
Jiang Sui continued to wave at her.
“Safe travels~”
Once the person was gone, Lu Yunze said speechlessly.
“Alright, can you let go of me now?”
Although he knew Jiang Sui was helping him, the method was just… completely outrageous.
“I helped the young master, don’t I get a reward?”
Jiang Sui smiled brightly.
“…Fine.”
Lu Yunze sighed.
He knew her too well—if he refused, she would certainly keep pestering him.
The two went to the balcony.
Jiang Sui finally let go and stretched.
The wind blew through her grayish-brown hair, and the scene was momentarily quite beautiful.
“What kind of reward do you want?”
“It won’t end with just holding hands, will it?”
“Hee hee, the young master really understands me.”
“If you want me to play some strange game with you, forget about it.”
“You don’t actually believe what I just said, do you?”
Jiang Sui raised an eyebrow.
“That was just an excuse to chase her away.”
“…”
Lu Yunze was momentarily speechless.
He actually felt like finding a hole to crawl into.
However, Jiang Sui wore a thoughtful expression and muttered to herself.
‘If the young master really wanted to… it’s not like I wouldn’t consider it…’
Lu Yunze ignored her entirely.
“Let’s talk business.”
Jiang Sui pulled herself together and poked her cheek gently.
“I want to know why the young master is in a bad mood.”
The balcony grew quiet.
There was only the sound of the wind.
“Just that?”
“Of course.”
Jiang Sui looked at him.
“In the young master’s eyes, am I not someone who cares about you?”
“That’s not what I meant…”
Lu Yunze scratched his head.
“You said it before, you told me I could tell you if I was troubled.”
“Exactly.”
Jiang Sui leaned against the railing.
“I want to know what you are thinking.”
After a moment of silence.
Lu Yunze sighed.
“Then accompany me on an outing later.”
“That’s the young master I know.”
Jiang Sui smiled instantly, pouncing to hug his head and rubbing it vigorously.
Lu Yunze was buried in her arms, struggling for a long time before he could break free.
Watching her leave, he even suspected he had nearly suffocated.
…
At the other end of the corridor.
Jiang Sui slowly stopped walking.
Confirming he wasn’t following, the smile on her face gradually turned cold.
It even carried a hint of paranoia.
“That’s a good boy.”
“As my dog, you mustn’t have any hidden thoughts kept from your master.”
