Mu Lin returned to the room. Xia Luoyu had already woken up.

“Mu Lin?” Seeing Mu Lin, Xia Luoyu softly called her name. She hadn’t fallen into a deep sleep, so she saw when Mu Lin had left.

“You’re awake.” Mu Lin glanced at Xia Luoyu, the corners of her mouth barely curving, and picked up the items she needed from a drawer.

“Did that person come?” Xia Luoyu seldom spoke much, but she was perceptive and her hearing was exceptionally good. She had heard the entire conversation between Mu Lin and Ling Qi when Mu Lin returned. Thus, she had inferred the situation on her own when she saw Mu Lin take her small bag out earlier.

She guessed that the herbal medicine, which Mu Lin had left on purpose, must have attracted the person here and it appeared that the person was quite injured.

Mu Lin nodded.

“Do you need my help?” Xia Luoyu was worried that Mu Lin might struggle to handle the situation alone.

After a moment’s pause, Mu Lin nodded, “Sure.” The person had a few wounds on his body and she was too lazy to handle all of them by herself. It was good to have Yue Qiao by her side, and it was also an opportunity for her to learn how to treat gunshot wounds. She then instructed, “Prepare a basin of slightly warm water for me.” After saying that, she left for the outside.

“Alright.” Seeing Mu Lin agree, Xia Luoyu sat up and casually put on a coat before preparing the warm water.

When Xia Luoyu arrived at the side of Mu Lin with hot water, the man in front of Mu Lin had already taken off his upper clothes.

He was slim but sturdy, wounds scattered across his body. The longest one started at his left shoulder blade and looked frightening despite the scab formation. The injuries this time were on his other shoulder, two in number and green herbal medicine was stuck to them, which had stopped the bleeding. These must be the herbs Mu Lin had deliberately left for him earlier.

Xia Luoyu’s gaze slowly moved upward.

Under the moonlight, the face of the man before her appeared slightly blurred. While it wasn’t particularly handsome, at least not when compared to Jing Youlan and Yang Yuebin, but the ordinariness of his features put together gave an extraordinarily resilient impression. Xia Luoyu still felt a fatal attraction towards the man’s face.

“Xia.” The sound of Mu Lin’s voice brought Xia Luoyu back to reality. She, unexpectedly was mesmerized by a guy. She quickly put the hot water beside Mu Lin and wrung out the hot towel before handing it to Mu Lin.

“You do it.” Mu Lin stood up. Although she was willing to help him with his wounds, she was not interested in doing the meticulous bits. She agreed to let Xia Luoyu help for just this reason.

Even when saving lives, she didn’t like getting too close to people.

…

Xia Luoyu paused for a moment, then walked over and began to carefully clean Song Yun’s wounds.

It was not until she had cleared all the blood traces and herbs from the wounds that Xia Luoyu realized how horrifying they were. These… must be gunshot wounds! They looked horrifying because bullets had presumably been extracted from there recently as the wounds were still fresh.

Xia Luoyu was meticulous and gentle in cleaning, her caution making Song Yun glance over at her.

“Go on, tell your story.” Observing both of them, Mu Lin slightly raised the corner of her mouth, reminding Song Yun in a teasing manner, “I’m still waiting here to hear your story.”.

Song Yun nodded and slowly recounted his story, “My name is Song Yun, codenamed Black Star. I am a professional assassin, however, I don’t belong to any organization.” Song Yun, or Black Star, was a famous independent agent in the assassin world. He didn’t belong to any organization, he never socialized with anyone. No one knew what he looked like or his real name. The only thing they knew was that he never failed any mission that he agreed to undertake.

Although he was a professional assassin, Black Star maintained three principles.

He didn’t target children, the elderly, or women; and, he would only undertake three assignments in a year. At specified times each year, you just needed to leave the mission details and your contact information at a certain place. He would take the initiative to contact you.

Mu Lin hadn’t heard of Song Yun, but she had heard of Black Star.

Black Star, the black-hearted. She had once heard a rumor that the reason Black Star was named so was because his heart was black.

Because there was this rumor that Black Star… had killed his whole family.

Whether this was true or not, Mu Lin wanted to know because, honestly, the man in front of her didn’t seem to fit the description.
