Chapter 22 - The Devil Has Returned

Why was Gu Yue Xin afraid? It was because she had recognized that man at the very last moment.

It was during an incident that had happened over a year ago. Dragon Soul had received a mission to escort a VIP past the vast deserts of Africa.

A Silver Dragon armband member and two Gold Dragon armband members had been disguised as Black Dragon armband members of Dragon Soul in an attempt to avoid any unnecessary attention. If their enemies knew of their real identities, they would've easily guessed that they were escorting a VIP.

However, luck hadn't been on their side as they came across an intense gun fight between two groups. Upon seeing these two groups, the members of Dragon Soul immediately thought that these groups of people were their enemies and immediately prepared themselves for battle.

In the end, the team called Sky Wolf won the battle. Upon seeing the members of Dragon Soul approaching, Sky Wolf also believed these members were their enemies.

Both sides began to take fire at each other, and although there were no deaths, the members of Dragon Soul had suffered major injuries.

This was Gu Yue Xin's first encounter with a foreign team this strong. Despite the fact that she was a Silver Dragon armband rank of the Dragon Soul, she had only been on par with the ordinary members of the opposing team.

Perhaps they had even gone easy on her because she was a woman.

In the end, they realized that this had just been a misunderstanding. After this, Gu Yue Xin had found out that Sky Wolf was also one of the mercenary teams from the country of Hua Xia.

She also remembered that the boss of Dragon Soul at that time and the leader of Sky Wolf even had a long conversation after their battle.

After returning to the country, the incident was kept as a secret by the leaders of the organization. However, as one of the core members of Dragon Soul, she was privy to the confidential news.

The leader of Sky Wolf was a 24-year-old man. Although she didn't know his real name, his title alone was enough to terrify everyone.

He was known as the Devil, and a real devil he was.

After she perusing through his information, Gu Yue Xin wondered if his reputation was falsified. She thought it was impossible for anyone to have this kind of power and capability.

Not only did he manage to kill over 30 enemies on his own, but he did so without even receiving a single scratch.

On the international killer ranking board, there were only 11 SS level missions to date, but only three had been accepted. Sky Wolf had accepted two of the three missions, whilst another team with the largest number of members took on the other one. Despite dispatching almost 500 men, they had still failed their mission.

This meant, no other team with the exception of Sky Wolf had successfully completed SS level missions.

Technically speaking, no one other than the Devil himself was capable of doing that.

On the information sheet, a photograph of a man was attached to the document. He had a soft smile planted on his face. No one would possibly have guessed that he was the infamous killer, the Devil.

However, after today, Gu Yue Xin believed that it was indeed him. He looked exactly like he did in the photograph, except for the aura he emitted.

No one dared to talk back to him, and they would ultimately obey his orders.

Gu Yue Xin had experienced this herself. For the first time in her life, she had been helpless in front of that man with the powerful aura.

Thus, she ordered her underlings to stop chasing after Li Tian. She knew that if they got onto the Devil's bad side, he would never let them go alive.

Gu Yue Xin didn't even hesitate in the slightest as she was well aware that he was capable of doing just that.

She wanted to make a trip to Beijing as soon as possible to report this matter and inform everyone that the Devil had returned.

...

"Ya Jing, I'm back."

Li Tian smiled as he stood by the door.

While Li Tian was away, Chen Ya Jing had been regretting her decision of telling Li Tian about her past. She knew him well enough to know how impulsive he was.

Hence, when she heard Li Tian's voice, she immediately ran into his embrace.

Neither of them spoke, no words were needed at this moment.

Especially when Li Tian placed a memory card in front of her eyes. At that moment, Chen Ya Jing felt as if this man had completely won her heart over.

She would do anything for Li Tian to repay him.

"Hush, don't cry. Ya Jing. Let's sit down and have a look at what this thing contains, I'm quite interested."

Li Tian said as he smirked at Chen Ya Jing. He didn't display a single trace of the cold expression that he showed Gu Yue Xin.

Chen Ya Jing felt embarrassed upon hearing Li Tian's words, so she immediately snatched the memory card in his hand and darted to her bedroom.

Before she left, she remarked, "Hmph, all men are the same! Perverts!"

As soon as she entered her room, she immediately inserted the memory card into her computer.

She wanted to make sure.

When she opened the files, her eyes started to water.

Li Tian really managed to get it back.

He had done something that was unimaginable. She had already given up and was even prepared to be taken advantage of.

However, everything... happened too quickly.

Li Tian's smile was engraved in her mind.

"I'm all yours."

...

"Ya Jing, go ahead and rest, I'm going to head home now."

Seeing that Chen Ya Jing hadn't come out for some time, Li Tian shouted across the room.

As soon as she heard that Li Tian was going home, Chen Ya Jing instantly opened the door.

"Why are you going home now? It's already five in the morning, why not have breakfast with me and we can go to the office together?"

Truth be told, Chen Ya Jing really wanted Li Tian to be by her side.

"Huh? Work starts at 9, I was planning to go home and catch some sleep."

Li Tian awkwardly replied as he scratched his head.

"Can't you just sleep here?"

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Chen Ya Jing was shocked at the fact that she was even capable of saying this. When had she become so bold?

"Uhh... I don't think so, I haven't been home for a night, my wife would be worried."

Li Tian didn't really think that Lin Yi would worry about him even if he didn't go home for days. However, he felt slightly awkward if he were to continue to stay, as he would be alone with Chen Ya Jing.

Upon hearing Li Tian's answer, Chen Ya Jing turned pale.

"You... You're married?"
