Chapter 116: Both Sides Are Acting, The Truth About the Young Woman

Blood Venom lowered his head, skillfully stirring his coffee before taking a sip.

The night fell swiftly.

Having finished his coffee, Blood Venom glanced across at the Night Ghost.

The Night Ghost remained motionless, his entire body enveloped in a voluminous black robe. He could not bear the light; only the darkness of night was his true sanctuary.

"Not drinking?" Blood Venom asked.

The Night Ghost’s pale eyes narrowed slightly as he replied, "Trash."

Blood Venom smiled helplessly. The Night Ghost subsisted almost entirely on plain white rice and purified water, rarely touching anything else.

Glancing at the darkening sky, Blood Venom said, "Let’s go. It’s time to prepare."

"Tonight’s operation?" the Night Ghost inquired.

"Yes. Better to act quickly. If that policewoman finds out we’re here, it’ll be troublesome," Blood Venom explained.

The Night Ghost pondered before asking, "After this mission succeeds, will I finally meet that Taoist from the Sacred Ruins?"

"That should be the case, provided they’re not deceiving us," Blood Venom replied.

The Night Ghost sneered coldly, "If Ding Zhe dares to lie to me, I’ll kill him."

Blood Venom chuckled resignedly, then rose and whispered, "Some people aren’t so easy to kill. Let’s go."

The two stepped out of the café together.

All of Blood Venom’s attention was fixed on Wu Hongying.

Unaware to Wu Hongying, while she was still feeling some guilt for being unable to help Song Kai, she had already made a significant contribution—she had drawn the full vigilance of the Blood Night Assassin Group.

Song Kai pretended to focus on the screen in front of him.

The night was very dark.

He scratched his head and rubbed his stomach.

At that moment, a woman sat down beside him.

Startled, Song Kai hastily closed the screen.

She was dressed in a white long dress, her exact age indiscernible. Blushing, she took Song Kai’s hand and whispered, "Brother, don’t be shy. Actually, I want to watch too, but I can’t find the website."

Song Kai was momentarily puzzled but feigned stammering, "Th-then... how about we watch together?"

"No, no need," she quickly waved him off. "I’m just sitting here because... I want to ask where you found it. I want to watch it at home; it’s too crowded here."

Her face was flushed to the point of almost dripping.

Song Kai turned toward her. She was reasonably attractive, not stunning, but every movement was captivating—as if she could ensnare hearts effortlessly.

Her leg was resting beside his.

Swallowing nervously, Song Kai gently touched her leg with his arm and said, "You need to use cloud storage. I... I can give you the cloud address and password, then you can watch it."

"Really? You’re so kind, little brother," she said, clasping his hand.

Feigning excitement, Song Kai let his hand slide onto her thigh.

The woman shuddered slightly.

Song Kai was perplexed. He didn’t know if she was a random stranger or someone sent by Blood Night.

Logically, a woman suddenly sitting next to a guy to watch such content was a fantasy of lonely men—something that hardly happened in reality.

But if this was a ruse, she was too convincing, like a deeply lonely housewife whose slightest touch caused a tremble.

"Um, maybe you should write it down—here, I’ll write the address on your leg," Song Kai suggested.

Her eyes kept flicking to the screen; blushing, she nodded.

Song Kai didn’t overthink it. Killer or not, he would just play along.

While writing, he carefully moved his hand further up her thigh.

Her reaction grew even stronger.

Seizing the moment, Song Kai asked, "Sister, what’s your name? I’m Song Kai. Maybe we can exchange contacts so next time you can just ask me directly."

She smiled and gently pushed his hand away. "I’m called Little Cat. No contacts, little brother. Thanks, though. I may look like that... but I’m really faithful. It’s just my husband’s in the army and rarely comes home. Well, I have to go now..."

With that, she quickly left.

Song Kai called after her, but she kept walking briskly.

He shut his computer and headed to the counter to log off.

Little Cat had already gone far.

Song Kai stepped out of the internet café, looking around and scratching his head.

Through his earpiece came the irritated voice of Danlina: "Song Kai, stop being so desperate! You see a woman and just rush forward! Don’t forget, you’re in grave danger!"

Song Kai chuckled softly, whispering, "Let me clarify—it’s called thirst, not desperation. Besides, it’s strange. If you really wanted to sleep with a man, would you go to an internet café to ask some guy for a website?"

"Hmm... no, I’d go to a bar to find a real man," Danlina replied earnestly.

Song Kai was speechless. "Forget it. European women and us from Huaxia are just different... Stay in touch..."

Dressed in his school uniform, Song Kai pretended to look around.

Meanwhile, Little Cat reached a corner, glanced back at Song Kai’s searching expression, and smiled. She spoke into her phone: "He’s hooked. This fish is far too easy to catch. But when he touched my leg, I actually felt something."

Blood Venom’s voice came from the other end: "I know. But focus on the job first. I’ll reward you twice tonight when we return."

"Thanks, Boss Blood," Little Cat replied, ending the call.

A few men approached, and Little Cat bumped into them, pressing her chest against one.

These men were lonely gamers who came to play at night; seeing Little Cat like that, they couldn’t resist.

She shouted loudly, "What do you want? Don’t come near me! I’m not a prostitute, I... Sorry, but please stay away."

Song Kai, hearing this from afar, immediately ran over, grabbed Little Cat, and said to the others, "This is my girlfriend. Sorry, bosses. Little Cat, let’s go."

Little Cat followed Song Kai for a while, patting her prominent chest. "Thank you, Song Kai. That scared me to death. I’ll never come to an internet café again."

"Yeah, too many desperate people at net cafés," Song Kai said. "Well... um... I’ll walk you home."

"Right. Thanks for earlier. Let me treat you to dinner—there’s a food stall nearby. It’s pretty good. Let’s go," Little Cat said, leading him toward the stall.

Two tables were occupied inside.

The diners were finishing their meals, smoking and boasting.

Song Kai quickly scanned the surroundings but found nothing unusual.

However, Blood Venom was an expert in poison. Eating here was risky.

Heightened in alertness, Song Kai followed Little Cat into the eatery.

The owner glanced at Little Cat a few times, then asked what they wanted.

Song Kai smiled foolishly and said, "You order, sister."

Little Cat picked several dishes.

Song Kai cleared his throat thrice.

Through the earpiece, Danlina said, "Understood. We’ll enter from the back. Be ready to escape."

"Okay," Song Kai replied faintly.

Blood Night hadn’t been exposed yet; Song Kai couldn’t afford any slip-ups.

Once the food arrived, he’d have to eat it, so he coordinated with Danlina.

At that moment, the chef brought a bowl of crayfish.

Little Cat smiled at Song Kai, "Little brother, eat up."

Just as Song Kai nodded and was about to eat, two burly men entered.

His face fell; he grabbed Little Cat and headed for the exit.

"Little brother, what’s wrong?" Little Cat asked, puzzled.

"Shh... don’t say a word, sis. Those two are Big B’s men. I owe them gambling debts. They’re here to kill me. Let’s go, quickly," Song Kai acted convincingly.

Little Cat sighed but had no choice but to follow him out, running along a pitch-dark narrow path.

She knew their first plan had failed. Turning to Song Kai, she said, "Don’t worry, little brother. If we can’t eat, then forget it. Come to my place; I’ll feed you."

Song Kai’s heart leapt at the double meaning. He nodded excitedly, "Good, yes, let’s go."

Little Cat smiled and pulled him toward a dark country lane.

This was the outskirts, surrounded on all sides by graves...
