Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 451 - 464: He Is a Storm of Blood and Carnage

The young man quietly stared at the empty stage, his expression as indifferent as thin ice.

Suddenly, a pleasant ringtone of his phone rang. He picked up, and Ouyang Yi’s voice came from the other end: "Assassin, what I want to know is when exactly you will act. Time waits for no one. I don’t have the patience to watch Lu Shifeng conquer Xingyu step by step, consolidating the Lu Family’s empire in the process!"

The corners of the young man’s lips, which were almost devoid of blood, twisted into a faint smile, his voice as cool as his demeanor: "With me here, what’s the rush?"

Ouyang Yi didn’t really want to rush either, but sometimes urgency isn’t something one can control: "Assassin, it may mean nothing to you, but for me, now is the best time! I saw the news a few minutes ago. Lu Shifeng launched a new camera to confess to Xingyu, didn’t he? That camera uses many groundbreaking technologies. You probably know that actually, many tech companies in this world hold technologies that are several generations ahead of what they publish. They don’t rush to synchronize releases to control the sales rhythm, gradually upgrading and earning money from consumers.

"But with Blade Group’s release of this camera, what does it mean?

"It means a technology far ahead of ordinary cameras has entered the market, and the camera market is about to face a round of upgrades!

"Blade Group’s technology has upgraded, and all camera brands will have to upgrade to compete! This upgrade is significant, a leap, leaving many companies scrambling! Including Feiying Group." Ouyang Yi said here, gloatingly laughing, "Those idiots in my family have horded who knows how many old camera models in the warehouse. With such vast inventories, if they are not sold off in a short time, they will be completely obsolete, and no consumers will buy them!

"Right now, they are facing a huge crisis, and I, of course, want to seize this opportunity to advance my position!

"I need—I request your cooperation, Assassin."

On the other end of the phone, the young man was not swayed by Ouyang Yi’s passionate speech, his voice still indifferent: "I have my rhythm."

With that, he hung up the phone.

"Damn!" At the other end, in a secret room of a luxurious manor on the outskirts of Country F, Ouyang Yi slammed his fist hard onto the desk.

The heavy black pearwood desk made a dull thud, subtly echoing in the air, adding a bit more oppression to one’s mood.

An elderly man beside Ouyang Yi looked at him: "Master, contain your anger. The beloved Assassin has always had this temper, but rest assured, whatever he does, there hasn’t been a failure yet."

"With such a big matter, how can I completely trust an outsider with it?" Ouyang Yi calmed down a bit, yet still somewhat irritable. Beside his hand was a stack of information about the young man in white, with a striking photo on top depicting a slender figure, a clean white shirt, and an indifferent, almost bloodless face.

It was a very familiar face.

"Do you think..." Ouyang Yi gazed at the photo, his eyes deepening, "he really is Xingyu’s twin brother?"

Just a few days ago, Ouyang Yi, driven to desperation by Lu Shifeng, secretly met with this young man in white, the rumored "Assassin," seeking cooperation and help. At their first meeting, he was shocked by the young man’s appearance—the young man really looked exactly like Su Xingyu!

If it weren’t for the different genders and temperaments, Ouyang Yi would almost suspect they were the same person!

The elderly man carefully answered, "This Assassin has been a legendary figure on Wall Street. His fame didn’t arise overnight. I have gathered all his records since his debut. He has always looked like this since his teens many years ago. His age also matches Miss Su Xingyu. Perhaps, what he said is true that he and Miss Su are indeed twin siblings."

Ouyang Yi felt a wave of restlessness.

He recalled the last meeting with this Assassin, who seemed unaffected by earthly matters and didn’t even acknowledge him.

Ouyang Yi asked him, "Why are you willing to cooperate with me? What benefit does this matter bring you?" It couldn’t possibly be to help his sister reconcile with Ouyang Yi, could it?

The slender young man coughed, swallowed a handful of pills, and drank water, struggling to breathe before answering, "I want those years of your investigation materials on Blade Group."

"You want those investigation materials?"

"Now you know I’m the twin brother of that foolish woman Su Xingyu," the slender young man said impatiently, coughing, "then you should also know I am a descendant of the Mu Family. The Mu Family’s bankruptcy back then was too suspicious. I suspect there’s something fishy behind it."

"You suspect Blade Group did something?!" Ouyang Yi was startled.

The slender young man looked at him impatiently.

Ouyang Yi dared not disobey him. In this world, there are few people one cannot offend, and coincidentally, this young man is one of them.

In countless business circle rumors passed down over the years, there is one piece of advice: "Never provoke the Assassin." Some people are capable but hold no grudges, some hold grudges but have no capability, but unfortunately, the Assassin has both and is famous for being ruthless and merciless. Wherever he goes, blood flows, and he has slaughtered countless tycoons, driving many to bankruptcy and suicide.

That’s why he’s nicknamed the "Assassin."

This nickname is even more famous than his real name.

Thus, Ouyang Yi dared not offend him, quickly offering all his knowledge on Blade Group, and secretly even sympathizing with Lu Shifeng—provoking this person? Good days ahead? Ha.

And all of this, Lu Shifeng and Su Xingyu were not yet aware of.

Su Xingyu, with that camera, went home with Lu Shifeng. Once they entered the house, Lu Shifeng turned her body around and bent to give her a long kiss.

Su Xingyu angrily raised her hand; this time, with no one around, she could give him a firm slap.

But he said: "Xingyu, you’ve accepted the engagement ring; there’s no reason to hit me again."

Engagement ring? What ring?!

She would never accept a ring!

She glared at Lu Shifeng, ready to retort, but Lu Shifeng gently tilted his chin, pointing at the small silver-white camera in her hand: "This, once accepted, can’t be returned."

She finally realized he referred to the engagement ring as the camera, nearly spitting blood. Indeed, she could refuse the ring, but this camera... she couldn’t bear to part with it!

All she could do was glare at him, clutch the camera, and run upstairs.

Lu Shifeng just watched her back with a smile, seemingly, the days to win her heart were getting closer.
