6 pain in his heart

"Yo! The great Solitary Wolf knows how to find his way back?"

The moment Mu Zheng stepped into the killer's secret base, a proud and arrogant figure stood in front of him.

"Step aside!"

Solitary Wolf coldly glanced at him, too lazy to say anything. To such a person as Scorpion, he had nothing to say to him.

He had always been a loner and on his missions, he had always preferred to work alone. Although he did not integrate with other people but up till now, he had always been safe. Only with this poison Scorpion, everything did not seem right.

Perhaps he did not like the way Scorpion handled matters and Scorpion had always harbored bad feelings for him which constantly made things difficult for him!

Although he was often ordered to kill but he actually hated to kill anyone. If he was forced to be on a mission, he would always ensure the victim die clean and fast without suffering but Scorpion happened to be the opposite of him!

Scorpion liked to kill...rather he liked the process of killing. It would be better to say he liked to torture his victims and they would either die a miserable death or sometimes they were dismembered before they were killed. He was disgusted with Scorpion's perverted way of killing.

"Huh! Solitary Wolf, do you think you will always be in the top position? Let me tell you! The earth is round and the sun will not always shine on your head. There will come a time, the sun will set and until that day comes, you will crawl under my feet! Ha...ha...ha..."

Scorpion laughed loudly. Solitary Wolf without anger, faintly said. "Are you dreaming?"

"You....." Scorpion was quick to blow up.

"Step aside! The Lord is looking for me"

Solitary Wolf was too lazy to listen to Scorpion bark, walked around him and out of the hall.

He had trampled on Scorpion's sore point. Scorpion shouted and cursed at him. "Lord? What is so great about the Lord looking for you? Just because you have some skill, if not, the Lord wouldn't even look at such a dirty thing. You are just a bastard born from a drunk and a bitch!"

"What did you say?"

Suddenly Solitary Wolf stopped in his tracks, turned around and looked at Scorpion with cold eyes that made the originally arrogant Scorpion's heart trembled.

"This...This is the truth! I didn't fabricate this, am I not right?"

"Say that again!"

Solitary Wolf slowly walked back, his green veins bulging on his big fisted hands.

"I said...ah! Let me go....let go!"

Scorpion did not see Mu Zheng's next move. He only saw a dark shadow and then found his neck held up tightly by a strong palm.

"Who told you this? Who?"

Mu Zheng coldly, gradually increased the strength of his hand. With a bit more strength, he would be able to break off Scorpion's trachea.

"Wu...wu..." Scorpion's whole face was flushed red, painfully struggling.

His air was fast depleting!

"What is going on here?"

A slender figure appeared behind them. She saw the scene in front of her and suddenly shouted. "Big Brother Solitary Wolf, quickly let Scorpion go! You are strangling him to death."

Hearing the familiar voice, Mu Zheng slowly loosen his hold.

"Miss!" Scorpion had never been happier to see Du Yingxuan. If not for her, he would have gone to see Hades in Hell.

"What is the matter with you all? Why can't you live in peace and harmony but must quarrel and fight?"

Du Yingxuan's beautiful eyes were filled with doubt and puzzlement.

"Ask him!" Mu Zheng turned aside, coldly said.

"What is the matter? Is Scorpion making trouble for Big Brother?"

Du Yingxuan suddenly nodded in understanding. "Scorpion, this is your mistake. Since we are one family, why create trouble?"

"Who is one family with this ba......" Glancing at Mu Zheng's cold stare, Scorpion swallowed his saliva, immediately changed his words. "One family with him? I would prefer to be one family with Miss!"

Scorpion's obscene, coveted eyes were constantly eyeing lustfully at Du Yingxuan's exquisite seductive body.

"If you dare to look at her with that look, I'll wring your neck!" Solitary Wolf warned coldly.

"No, don't do that" Du Yingxuan quickly pulled Mu Zheng's arm, gently said. "Big Brother, I know you are good to me but I beg you. Do not hurt the feelings between brothers because of me."

"I do not have this kind of shameless brother!" Mu Zheng answered, turned and left the hall.

Du Yingxuan watched his retreating back, her gentle and delicate expression gradually turned sharp.

"I had warned you many times, never to rile Solitary Wolf. How come you never listen?" She stared at Scorpion with a pair of beautiful almond eyes, which severely criticized him and he bowed his head with guilt.

"I'm very sorry!"

"You do not have to explain! Come to my room tonight. You need good counseling."

Thinking he would be severely punished, Scorpion was surprised when he heard Du Yingxuan. His eyes instantly lit up, greedy desire immediately emerged.

"So, you must remember not to waste your energy in such a boring manner and save your physical energy to contribute on my bed, tonight."

"Yes!" The sinister Scorpion had immediately turned into a pug and drooled at Du Yingxuan.

Du Yingxuan smiled proudly, threw back her long hair and walked out of the hall.

When she was 14 years old, she had her first man and ever since then, she could not extricate herself from sexual encounters with men. She had experienced numerous men and later discovered that men with martial arts only, could meet her demands. So, every once in a while, she would summon her father's killers into her room.

Her father, Du Zhengxian also knew about this and had no objections. What she did could also be considered as an added bonus for his killers who killed for him and naturally it would not be a bad thing.

So far, she had had all her father's men and the only one she had not gone to bed with, was Solitary Wolf.

She licked her red lips, secretly fantasized how it would feel to be in the embrace of Solitary Wolf.

Unfortunately, her father had repeatedly warned her not to have any ideas on Solitary Wolf. Even if she craved for him but would not dare to touch a single strand of hair on him, due to her father's order, which was her biggest regret.

In the eyes of Solitary Wolf, she was equal to the synonym of an angel. If he ever found out that the angel's true face, her father was afraid that they would not be able to hold on to him.

In fact, she thought her father worried needlessly! As long as a man who had bedded her, he would be obsessed with her. Solitary Wolf was also a man, naturally, he was no exception, isn't that right?

Passing by the full-length mirror at the staircase corner, she stopped. Using her well maintained white jaded fingers to pull back her long black hair from her cheeks, turned her head satisfactorily and looked at her meticulous appearance.

She was very fortunate that Heavens was generous to her, giving her a pure innocent angelic face. With her pure beauty, she was unhindered in her pursuits. In this high-class society, she was able to taste the joy of lust, enjoyed stealing pleasure. As long as she was able to squeeze out two drops of tears, anyone would believe she was innocent. Look at that Solitary Wolf who thought he could see through everyone, wasn't she able to play around with him?

From the moment, she and her father saved him, Solitary Wolf had no doubts that she was the kind of pure, flawless angel.

Angel? Such a joke! She scoffed, laughed and turned to go upstairs.

Reaching her father's study, immediately she put on an innocent smile and knocked on the door.

"Daddy....Big Brother Solitary Wolf...."

Ye Ruwei stood behind the counter, her left hand holding the daily accounts, right hand on the calculator, her dull eyes looking at the front door apparently in a dreamy state.

She and Mu Zheng had been in love for quite a while but seriously the time they spent together could not add up to even a week. Last time, she really thought that she knew Mu Zheng but recently she was not clear whether she really did understand him.

Ever since the last time in her residence, they had a close relationship, they had continued to see each other several times but every time a sudden call would interrupt their appointment.

Mu Zheng had never told her who was always calling him. She had tried to ask but he had always avoided her questions and never gave any positive answers.

The more mysterious he was, the more uneasy she became. The man she loves, what kind of work was he doing?

"Sister Ye? Sister Ye?"

Xiao Jia's voice penetrated into her ears, bringing her thoughts back to the present. Xiao Jia was standing beside her, holding a heavy carton box with trembling hands.

"Xiao Jia, why are you moving that box?"

"Why am I moving this box?" Xiao Jia was surprised and stared at her. "Just now, didn't you tell me to bring out new towels from the store? Now that I have brought out the towels, how can you forget?"

His hands were so sore holding the heavy box and waiting so long for her instructions!

"Oh, sorry. Please put it down here. Later obasan will change the old towels with these new ones."

"Okay!" Xiao Jia put down the carton box of towels at the side, on the floor and patted the dust from his arms.

He looked at Ye Ruwei with her soulless expression, asked curiously. "Sister Ye, what are you thinking?"

"Me? No.....nothing!"

Ye Ruwei quickly shook her head, bowed down and pretended to look at the accounts.

She was really worried but she was not used to sharing her thoughts with anyone especially someone young like a younger brother.

"In fact, I can also protect Sister Ye!" Xiao Jia suddenly said impulsively.

"Ah?" She looked up and saw Xiao Jia's cheerful face.

"If that person cannot give Sister Ye happiness, I am willing to replace him and make you happy!"

Ye Ruwei stared at Xiao Jia in shock. She had never imagined that Xiao Jia, who was still a student, would actually say such bold and amazing words.

"It is a pity that you are not able to replace me. It would be better for you to stand aside and obediently carry on studying."

An extremely cold voice sounded, accompanied by a tall figure, appeared like a ghost behind Xiao Jia.

"Mu Zheng!" Ye Ruwei was surprised and exclaimed.

When did he come?

Caught on the spot making a confession, Xiao Jia's face flushed, stared at Mu Zheng for a while, turned around and rushed out.

"Xiao Jia...."

Ye Ruwei saw his agitation and chased after him but Mu Zheng pulled her back.

"Mu Zheng, let me go! I have to look for him."

"You are not allowed to go!" Seeing her concern for Xiao Jia, there was an uncomfortable feeling in Mu Zheng's heart.

Didn't she say that there was nothing between her and Xiao Jia? Why today, he had to overhear Xiao Jia's confession for her?

"But he...." Ye Ruwei was worried for Xiao Jia.

"He is old enough!"

He was not a five or six-year-old child who needed someone to wipe his tears and nose.

"Mu Zheng! Why are you..."

Ye Ruwei did not understand how he had suddenly become so unfriendly towards Xiao Jia. He was not like this before!

She was surprised and looked at Mu Zheng's implicit anger and tight face, suddenly began to understand.

"Mu Zheng, you are...are you jealous of Xiao Jia?" She boldly guessed.

Mu Zheng who had always been cold and indifferent, instantly flushed.

He was indirectly admitting he was jealous!

"Are you really jealous?"

Ye Ruwei opened her eyes wide, unable to believe that he could be jealous. She had always thought that she was alone walking down this love path and did not know he also cared about her and could even feel jealous for her.

This discovery was too amazing, like a dream, without a sense of reality.

She was pleasantly surprised and her eyes redden.

Overcoming his embarrassment, Mu Zheng let out a breath of relief, rubbed her head with his hands.

"Idiot! Why are you feeling so happy?"

"Of course I am happy. That proves you love me!" She fell into his arms, clinging to his neck, smiling sweetly through her tears and said.

Love? Mu Zheng put his arms around her, silently thinking about the word.

He was skeptical. Would a sinful killer like him, be able to find and hold on to love and happiness?

"Ah...."

In the night, an intoxicating, delicate moan could be heard from the under the quilt on the big bed.

Mu Zheng raised Ye Ruwei's smooth, pale legs, wrapped them around his waist and continued to speed up the rhythm.

"I cannot hold any longer! Mu Zheng, ah..."

Ye Ruwei was breathing rapidly, slender fingers dug into his back, leaving light red finger marks.

Her wild reaction stimulated Mu Zheng's desire, he increased the speed of his movements and the increased friction brought pleasure.

Passion was burning to the peak, Mu Zheng thrust a few more times with force, growled and then spurted all his abundant warm liquid into her body.

That moment, the blurred Ye Ruwei had a thought. It had been several days, she did not take contraceptive pills but she would not get pregnant so easily, right?

After the passion had subsided, Mu Zheng withdrew from her and walked into the bathroom to shower.

Ye Ruwei lying on the bed, her eyes inadvertently landed on Mu Zheng's trousers hanging on the bedside chair.

Inevitably, she remembered the mysterious phone calls that came through a few times.

She remembered that he always put his mobile phone inside his trousers, instantly an evil idea arose from her heart.

She licked her lips and quietly turned to steal a look at the bathroom. Through the translucent glass door, his figure was vaguely visible. She slipped out of bed, picked up his trousers and found his mobile phone from his pocket.

She pressed the button for the search call record nervously, to see his caller number.

She found that the call to him was from the same phone number. She tried to guess the identity of the caller.

She held the phone, the index finger hovered over the dial button, hesitated, thinking whether or not, she should press the button.

As long as she dial this number, she would know the identity of the caller.

Just...should she dial?

"What are you doing?!"

Suddenly a sharp voice sounded in the room. Ye Ruwei only saw a shadow passed by and the mobile phone in her hands were roughly taken away. Due to the force of the violent action, she fell backward onto the bed.

"Ah!" Before she could react, she was dragged up on the bed.

"What is the meaning of this? What do you want, sneaking looks at my phone?"

"I did not...I just wanted to know....." She was frightened by the anger on Mu Zheng's face.

She had never seen him so angry before, unconsciously swallowed her saliva and struggled to get up.

"What do you want to know? Do you want to know my true identity? Okay, I'll tell you! Who do you think Mu Zheng is? Mu Zheng is not a great man. He is not a decent man like you imagine. He is the ruthless killer...Solitary Wolf. From the age of eighteen, his hands are covered with blood. Every time the person calls, it is a mission given by the Lord. Look at this pair of bloody hands..."

He stretched out a pair of big palms and gradually approached her.

"No....I do not believe you! Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Ruwei desperately shook her head, refusing to believe him.

How could she fall in love with a killer? The Mu Zheng that she loved, may be cold, perhaps poor at expressing his emotions but definitely a good man. He could not be a killer!

She remembered his occasional gentleness, remembered his frenzied kiss...

This Mu Zheng could not be a killer!

Mu Zheng's indifferent expression covered the pain in his heart. He knew that this matter would eventually be exposed one day. He was very clear that paper could not be used to wrap fire.* (Something that cannot be kept hidden for long)

"Huh! I have told you but you still do not believe me? If you are not a fool than you are very naïve. I might as well tell you, the reason why I often go to the hot springs! This should be considered my quirk. Every time, after I have killed a person, I will bath in the hot springs. You can count how many times I have been to your hot springs and that will show how many people I have killed. And that is only a portion of my list!" He said cruelly.

'Liar! I don't believe! I don't believe you!"

She could not believe it! Going to bath in the hot springs was actually to wash away the smell of blood, she could not accept the fact!

"You still don't believe? Do you want to see more evidence?" Mu Zheng was angry at her stubbornness. He dragged her out of the bed and from his special custom-made boots, he took out a black small pistol.

"This is my weapon. Although this gun is small, its power is alarming. The bullet powered by this gun can go through the human head. Have you seen the scene with brains scattered and blood flowing? I have seen over hundreds of times, thousands of times...."

"Don't say anymore! Don't say..."

Ye Ruwei clutched her mouth, could not stop the burst of nausea feeling surging out, forcefully pushed Mu Zheng aside and rushed towards the trash can.

She knelt on the ground, vomiting into the trash can for a long time but could only spit out some bitter yellow bile.

"I make you feel sick?" Mu Zheng sneered.

Ye Ruwei was unable to speak and shook her head desperately. She could not accept the fact, she really could not!

She hurriedly got up from the floor, hastily put on her clothes and then ran out the door.

Mu Zheng with empty, wooden eye watched the door opened and closed but did not stop her from leaving.

He had always wanted to tell her the truth and he also knew how she would react. Then, why did he feel hurt?

Why did he feel the pain in his heart?

It was good that she had left!

She had left. He was once again the cold, indifferent Solitary Wolf, who nobody cared about.

This was really good!

He sat alone in the love-filled room, repeatedly told himself when day breaks, dawn would gradually come...
