The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 318  Late realization

Both Lu Mengjie and Yong Liwei were unaware of the news outside since they had been careful on having Virus alert Cian if they began acting suspiciously.

When the couple came back, Cecilia was rather surprised since she thought that they would take the opportunity to escape. It was hard to ask them what happened since surveillance cameras were installed in every corner of the room.

"Did she try to escape earlier?" Cecilia asked Yong Liwei as a pretense.

The man in front of her began using hand gestures since he was supposed to be mute. He used this opportunity to tell her the change of plans. Not many know how to interpret hand signs and Cian was one of them that's why Cecilia used it to her advantage and informed this part of the plan to Bai Jingye.

"I see, that's good." She eyed Lu Mengjie who was currently sitting on a sofa, holding a book. She was quick to notice that small item she inserted.

Cecilia was the only person allowed inside her brother's room, that's why she was the only one who could do the job.

…

Later that day, Cian arrived at the place and as usual, the first thing he did was to visit Lu Mengjie's room. When he arrived in front of the room, he saw Yong Liwei, who was in his disguise, guarding the door.

"So you're the new guy, huh?" Cian asked with a smile plastered on his lips. Yong Liwei answered with a hand sign. As much as he wanted to say how much he wanted to kill him, he had to hold back just in case.

The other man blinked a few times, puzzled until he remembered what his sister said. "Ah, I forgot your mute. Sorry, sorry. I should have Virus learn how to interpret hand signs so that we can have a good conversation." He chuckled. "Anyway, it's nice to finally meet you. Take care of my wife whenever I'm away, alright?" He patted his shoulder before he finally entered the room.

It was a good thing that Cian had already entered the room or else he would have witnessed the instant change in Yong Liwei's eyes.

Wife? It was as if something had snapped in him when he heard the word from Cian's mouth. That delusional bastard was ought to die even if it was the last thing he would do! Nôv(el)B\\jnn

He clenched his fists tightly as he tried his best to hold back. His temper was getting the best of him. He could just go inside the room and kill Cian already but he didn't want Lu Mengjie to witness another bloody scene. He didn't want to show her his bloodthirsty side again.

He had seen the fear in her eyes and he didn't want her to look at him in such a way again. He had someone he had to protect now that's why he couldn't just act recklessly.

Crash!

Yong Liwei was alerted by the sound he heard inside. He held the doorknob and barged into the room. The glass that was on the drawer by the bed was now shattered on the ground.

"Get the fuck out of my room!" Lu Mengjie shouted, holding a bread knife in her hand, pointing it to Cian. She was standing beside the bed while the other guy was on the bed. Her clothes were disheveled as if someone had tried to remove them from her.

Cian had a dark look on his face. When he got off the bed, Lu Mengjie quickly sprinted towards Yong Liwei.

"Catch her," Cian ordered, thinking that she was running for the door. To his surprise, Lu Mengjie hid behind the other man instead.

Furrowing his brows, he asked, "What is the meaning of this?"

Yong Liwei remained quiet. He saw red the moment he entered and saw the situation inside. No, he was not going to wait anymore. He had to kill that man right there and then.

After closing the door behind him, he began walking towards Cian. In an instant, Cian's guards went up when he noticed the change in atmosphere. It was then he realized something that made him laugh, causing Yong Liwei to halt from further approaching him. "Haha! Who would have thought that you'll come here with that face, Yong Liwei? I should have known!"

There was no use in keeping on the act so he removed his black mask that covered the lower half of his face before he took off the hyper-realistic silicone mask. It almost looked like he was removing his facial skin when he took it off.

"I should have been more careful." Instead of looking scared, Cian had an amused look on his face. "I'm honestly surprised that you were able to deceive my sister with that look."

"How do you want me to kill you?" He threw his mask on the floor and seconds after he did, he attacked Cian.

As Lu Mengjie watched the two men fight, she could feel the waves of danger between them both. It was surprising how Cian could stand against Yong Liwei. Right at that moment, all she could do was watch. If she went outside, others might end up noticing the fight inside the room.

An eerie chuckle was heard from Cian as he jumped away to avoid Yong Liwei's kick. "This is just like old times, don't you think so?"

Yong Liwei spat the blood out of his mouth. Cian was one of the men who could stand on par with him. Back in the day, they would usually have a spar as delinquents since they studied in the same school. They were good old friends, not until Cian changed. Now that he thought about it, his changes started a few days after meeting a little girl. Yong Liwei couldn't remember who that little girl was since he couldn't care less about her identity. He had only met her once through Han Yizhou's memories.

When Han Yizhou found out that Cian took an interest in that child, it was then the conflict between them started. Knowing that his friend was actually a pedophile made him resort to having one of his men follow Cian around just to make sure that he wouldn't try and approach that girl again.

But ever since Chen Yuyan came back, Han Yizhou wasn't able to keep an eye on Cian anymore.

Of all the people, why did he have to go after his wife?

It was then at that moment did Yong Liwei came into realization. Why did he just think of it so late? That little girl…

With an icy glare, he spat, "You sick bastard!"
